2008-04-11 20:53:05
Recently on a message board there was a post about how during the Idol Gives Back Special a commercial for Burger King featuring their “King” aired. The whole concept of this “King” and his mannerisms creeped this poster out. I felt a huge sigh of relief as I have been feeling this same [...]

2008-04-11 19:44:42
The one thing dieters are told to stay away from are scales. Well I’m here to tell you that you should not be afraid of all scales. Scales can be your friend. Whether you use them as a positive measure of your body weight (like I do) or you use them to [...]

Due to rising prices and consumers tightening their spending habits, Linens ‘n Things is expected to declare bankruptcy (Chapter 11) early next week. So what does that mean to you and I?

2008-04-11 09:30:15
This is an absolute favorite of mine. I think I’ll be making it again this weekend. To lighten it up I think I’m going to try the La Tortilla Factory flour tortillas instead of the normal mission branded ones I use. I’m also going to add a bit more broth to the [...]

I just don’t get it
2008-04-10 10:12:17
I just don’t get it… This new trend in Hollywood that has been springing up the past year or two: drug rehab. It seems like any time a young celebutante - Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, Kirsten Dunst, Britney Spears, the list can go on - gets stressed out or acts out in public [...]

Combating Beauty Emergencies
2008-04-12 05:30:08
I thought when I hit my late 20s that acne and the likes would be over. I’m not sure what led me to believe that I wouldn’t experience acne as an adult but somewhere along the lines I began to believe it. Maybe it was just wishful thinking on my part. But [...]

Thank You Peter Pan Peanut Butter
2008-04-14 13:03:11
Thanks Peter Pan for making this dieter’s life easier.  I have a love of peanut butter that not everyone understands.  Its a great source of protein for me so I eat it by the spoon with milk, on toast, on bagels, on banana sandwiches, any way I can!  Unfortunately, though regular peanut butter is high [...]

Decorating 101
2008-04-15 20:22:20
I was never one for decorating sophistically. Rather, all the way through high school I did the magazine pages stickied to my walls in no rhyme or reasoning. I am still pulling a picture here or there off my bedroom walls when I go home for holidays and cringe at the oil marks. [...]

Vitamins and your health
2008-04-15 17:03:40
I have a love-hate relationship with vitamins. I realize I need to take them to stay healthy but making myself take them is another story. I will say that I was very bad about it growing up and all through college due to the size of these pills. Actually, it wasn’t until [...]
