My Brain on Caffeine...

Hey Guys,

Well, I am sitting here contemplating how I feel about something I just did. Don't worry it isn't terrible. Here let me explain.

I have been wanting to review a product for a while. I tried emailing the company to see if they would send me a free sample to try and review for the company (some companies will do this so I hear). I explained that I would love to purchase the product but I am a bit short on cash.

She suggested that I go to a conference. Which is fine, except the one she suggested is over an hour and a half away and I simply don't have the money to drive that far with gas prices the way they are and only working part time keeps me kinda broke.

Then she suggested I become a distributor. Imagine my surprise. (enter blank sarcasm here). "That'll take care of your short on cash problem." she writes adding a cute little smiley icon at the end of her email. I sent her a kind email in return. "Thanks so much! I will make every effort to find the money to get there."

Oh, what is the product? The it works body wraps. I have always been a curious person and I have been researching to try to find the science behind this alleged miraculous flab cure. There is nothing but a bunch of mixed reviews, which look mostly contrived IMHO.

Well those of you who know me know, if there is information available I will work to find it so I set out to find the ingredient list. I wanted to see what is in these miraculous flab cure. I found the ingredient list and found among the 20 things I can't even pronounce, lots of leaf extracts including rosemary and eucalyptus at the very bottom of the list.

Well that discouraged me entirely from wanting to do that particular wrap since this 'botanical' flab miracle was made up of a lot of things I didn't want on my body. After all, 26 seconds is all it takes for the chemicals in your personal care products to enter your blood stream. and you wear this thing for 45 minutes under saran wrap!

So, I went to our friend, the internet, and did some more research. I have looked through dozens and dozens of YouTube videos and blogs, Pinterest pages and the like and have come to one singular conclusion. Pretty much the only way to cure the flab is to eat healthy, exercise, get good sleep and just fricking love yourself the way you are!

Having said that, I am going to go cut the saran wrap off my gut, wash off the coffee grounds and olive oil concoction I stupidly talked myself into trying.

Yes I found on the internet and yes it works if your goal is 3 days of caffeine racing through your veins. (oh my god I can see sounds now!) And no the gut is still there.

I am gonna go eat a Skinny Girl flat wrap pizza with all the veggies on it.

Cheers!

my great day!

Hi guys!

It's Thursday! Today has been a great day so far. I know I always say "not alot goin' on.." but that isn't always the case. Today is proof of that.

Well as a lot of you know I haven't been sleeping well the past few months. So what do I do while I am not sleeping you might ask. Well I research anything I can think of. (trying to tire my brain out I suppose) Well, lately I have been researching new soap ideas. (Well when I am not watching old Vlogbrothers videos)

Anyway, I finally fell asleep today around 2 am and woke up around 7 am wide awake. I decided to get started on this scanning project I told my husband I would do. He got his sister to send the family photo album to him so we could make a copy.

Well that took me a few hours but I got it done. so I decided to check my email. Low and behold I finally had an order on my Etsy site! so I jumped in the shower and took it to the Post office and mailed it. I am such a happy girl!

I emailed Erin and told her and she was excited too!

Well it is after 5pm now and I feel very productive! Still have tons of editing to do but I reckon I'll get to it.

Have a great rest of your day! I'm gonna let ya go for now.

BYE!!!
