Fabulous & Free

I’m feeling the winter blues, big time. I’m staying busy doing the routine stuff, and not especially feeling fabulous. Long gone are the days for a quick trip to Sephora for a retail pick me up…so I decided to start writing on an ongoing list of things that I can do to make me feel fabulous..for free.

Quicklist time:

1. Drink a glass of water. Sounds funky and cheesy, but it’s a quick refresher, pick me up and I’m feeling good that I actually hydrated instead of ‘not remembering’ to hydrate. Plus it kills whatever snack-boredom-stress eating that I might have resorted to at that particular moment.

2. Take 10 deep, cleansing breaths. I remember this from the Tony Robbins tapes that my mom ordered over 20 years ago. It has always worked for clearning my mind and giving me a sort of metaphorical ‘clean slate”.

3. Remove your current nail polish. Whether it’s chipped, old or your simply tired of it, clean nails will always make you feel fabulous. Plus it’s good to have a clean slate to start up when you do feel the urge to polish your nails.

4. Clean up your Brows. Even if you don’t have the skills to actually shape your brows, you can always clean up strays and fix that upcoming unibrow that you have been pretending you didn’t see the last time you looked in the mirror.

The Weekend Wrap Up Blog

This weekend was pretty hectic. I got a new puppy, and unfortunately my family isn’t being very supportive of my new family member. Thank goodness that I live with OJ who is just fabulous and accepting of my doggy family. My parents on the other hand, have made me give away my past puppy (my chow-chow named Zeus) and have made it clear that the new puppy Obi is NOT welcome at their home. It caused a bit of a trife, but for now, thats TMI, so I will leave it at just having had a hectic puppy-weekend.

In the midst of all the familial dramz, I was able to get in a few quiet moments to check out some cool sites online that I’d like to share with you, as well as some info that I learned at Trina’s Total Body Makeover last week that was a surprise to me, and I am sure will be to you too.

In the quest for going green and saving our planet one tiny bit at time while being and staying fabulous:
EcoStiletto: The secret to smart & sexy green living

Sustainable Cotton Project
In 2007 there were 2 organic cotton farmers growing 240 acres, reducing• chemicals by a little over 500 pounds

Finally, a big thanks to Trina from BodyWorks Studio for making me aware that you shouldn’t ever microwave food in plastic containers, OR freeze food in plastic containers because when you either heat or freeze plastic, the chemicals that were used in forming the shape are released and absorbed into your food. Did you know that?? I totally didn’t!!!

Kiss Kiss Kiss Kiss!

Ok people, it’s Valentine’s season…the month that everyone celebrates or curses the romatic kiss, smooch, hug & whatever else rocks your boat. Use this month as a annual reminder to make that routine teeth cleaning appointment at your favorite dentist, to make sure your breath stays kissable fresh. Even if you don’t plan on doing any smoochie-smooching this month, it’s always better to be ready than not ready. You never know, Prince Charming might be around the corner and you Do Not want to be caught with stinky mouth!!!

If you don’t have a favorite dentist, you can do what I did when I first moved to the Valley and didn’t have a referral and call 1-800-Dentist. They had a very helpful service and helped me find a dentist who worked the hours that I needed and within a finance budget that worked for me. Typically, a routine teeth cleaning, exam and check up will run you under $100 without insurance, and if you are one of the lucky ones who DOES have insurance, then you’ve got it even better.

And if you are a doggy-mom, be sure to routinely brush your doggies teeth, and if you have a breed like mine (pekingese) with predisposed ailing teeth, you might want to have your vet check to see if a deep cleaning appointment is needed anytime soon. Paw Luxury, a pet blogger has some good tips on how to clean your dog’s teeth at home and keep your dog’s breath kissable too

Happy Kiss Month!!!
xoxo
