Dark Chocolate Mints … Yum!

I just had a dark chocolate mint.  Yum!  Dark chocolate is irresistible to me! A few months ago, I discovered Altoids Dark Chocolate Covered Mints….in fact, right before Baby J was born. Oh…they are so good! There’s something about the peppermint oil in them that is good for the stomach, and I know there’s something good about the dark chocolate! 🙂 I was eating a mint one day and noticed on the tin that they started making Altoids over 200 years ago! Wow! That’s old for a candy company. I know they’ve been around for a long time, but I never did care for Altoid Mints until I discovered these dark chocolate covered ones. They are so good!

Watches for Night Time

I have three watches, none of which are working at the time due to the fact they all need batteries.  I have my favorite one with mostly silver and a little gold which I usually wear all the time.  It will be first in line to receive a new battery.  I have a gold dress watch that I rarely wear because it’s too dressy.  And I have a fun little watch that goes especially well with a certain shirt.  (The shirt and watch were a gift from our daughter and s-i-l.)   If I were ever to get a new watch, I would truly consider getting a watch that could be read at night. Luminox watches are just that type of watch.  I used to have a watch many years ago that could be seen at night, and I really liked it a lot!

Quick Room Make-Over

Have you ever looked at a room in your house and thought how tired you were of the same decor you’d had for several years?  I know I have!  I remember when I became tired of the colors in our living room.  We have a dark blue, almost navy plush sofa that I love. ( It’s so soft you can easily sleep the whole night on it.)  It came with really nice, pretty pillows in a floral tapestry weave.  Well, I was tired of the pillows, tired of a floral lamp shade, and tired of some wall hangings.  So I took the lamp, wall hangings, and some other things out of the room, anything that conflicted with my new color scheme of dark blue (almost navy), red and a little olive green.   I found a neat looking lamp at Target with a red lampshade, red slipcovers that fit the pillows perfectly that were on sale for a great price at Pottery Barn, and found a couple of small decorative wall hangings with red in them on sale for half price.  Oh, and I also found a couple of small, red cranberry topiaries for the fireplace mantle that were half price, too.  So for around $60, our living room looked great and noticeably different.  And the neat thing at the time was that I had Christmas money to buy everything with.  🙂

Fun Fall Festival Tonight :)

Every year we have a Fall Festival in the fellowship area where we attend church.  It’s free and open to the community, and we usually always have a big attendance.  There are all sorts of fun games like you would see for little kids at school carnivals plus we have a “cupcake walk” and a hayride outside.  There’s free food which usually includes hot dogs, cheese nachos, frito-chili pie, lemonade, etc.  And, of course, there’s tons of candy.  Last year my family put up a little area surrounded by black trash bags so it would be dark inside, and then we had all kinds of Halloween lights and a little black light inside.  I think the game inside was a beanbag toss into a plastic pumpkin.  The kids loved it!  This year we’re doing tic-tac-toe beanbag.  It’s always so much fun to see how the kids (and adults) dress up.  And the great thing about this festival is that it’s safe and families don’t have to worry about not having the money for their kids to attend since it’s free.  Hope everyone has a safe Halloween night!

Money & Enzymes…Do You Spend Them Fast OR Do You Try to Use Them Wisely

You may be asking what in the world do money and enzymes have in common. Let me see if I can explain. When you have a certain amount of money, it’s easy to understand that the faster you spend it, the sooner you will run out. It’s the same way with enzymes. The late Dr. Edward Howell said, “It seems that we inherit a certain enzyme potential at birth.” Whatever we get, that’s it. So it’s like spending money, and the faster you use up your enzymes, the sooner you run out. So why are enzymes so important? Enzymes are needed for every chemical reaction that occurs in your body. Without enzymes, vitamins and minerals and hormones can not work … at all. That’s how crucial enzymes are for your body.

Some of you may be wondering exactly who was this Dr. Howell. Well, he was a doctor from Illinois who was the first researcher to discover how very important enzymes from raw foods are to human health and nutrition. In fact, in 1946 he published his first book about enzymes and kept researching after that.

Travel to See Beautiful Fall Foliage or Sun on the Beach

I would love to spend the day driving through Cape Cod, Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard and other places in the area to see all the absolutely gorgeous colors in nature this time of year.  Now would be the time for someone to take that much needed vacation and also enjoy the beautiful colors of fall, too.  A Cape Cod vacation rental would be a great place to stay while visiting there. They are the premier online source for vacation rental property listings in that area and also for the entire state of Florida where snow birds enjoy the warm weather and Disney World.  Not only do people come to their site first to rent a cottage, condo, villa, or beach house, but they also list vacation rental properties with them as well.   So check out their site and see what all they have to offer.

Study Released on Food Poisoning in U.S. 76,000,000 Suffer Annually / 5,000 Die

The New York Times released a study today from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta that states that 76 million Americans suffer from food poisoning every year. I think seeing the actual number helps for emphasis: that’s 76,000,000 people. And this is really unbelievable… 5,000 people die every year from food poisoning. How could this happen here in our country where we have the safest food supplies in the world? This just goes to show that we need to be extra careful about food poisoning and look for ways we can prevent it.

A Unique Way to Display Your Favorite Photo

Do you have a favorite photo that you just absolutely love? Maybe a picture of your baby, your kids, your family, a pet that is just like a family member, or a group of friends that you’re really close to? Have you ever thought of Photo Throws where you could see the picture every day? I’m not talking about a little frame that is the typical way to display a picture, but one that is unique and can’t be overlooked like a picture frame.  You could have the photo printed on a duvet cover for your bed to be the centerpiece of the room , or on a photo pillow, or on a photo pillowcase. If you wanted something really unique, you could have your favorite picture on a shower curtain. Fotobed.com is the only site that offers a customized shower curtain photo. The site is easy to use, and not only can you have a 100% customized photo, but you can have customized text as well. I think I like the idea of the photo pillows. What a nice accent for a bed or a sofa.
