I was as my landlord gave me a 3 days to vacate my apartment notice as my rent check accidentally had bounced. He had left a nasty message over the wek end on my machine and yesterday a letter was hand-delivered by the sheriff. NIce huh? Well it is sraightened out now as Social Services helped me out as i have no money to give him now as is too late in the month. If knew sooner I would or could.

I need to move anyway as my place is simply a 'dump'. Do you live in a dump! Can you relate to any of this? Anyway, I needed a lift and i got it here at the 'Abundant Life' blog. The author is a practicing Christian,something rare these days. She has inspiritational quotes from the Bible on her blog like on fruit,faith and works. It lifted my spirtis and will yours as well. 'Come tho you be burdened and heavy laden and you will be ocmforted." my children..

Entrecard ..'0ops you did it again' ..

you played with my heart..should be the theme song (you go Britney!), of this doomed company, me thinks and so do many if you read some posts about Entrecard, on the net. Ziprunner, like Graham langdon, sure knows how to piss people off! Maybe that is their strategy to create buzz?! dunno,don't care!

The latest screwy thing this company has done is to drop credits to blog owners when people drop on them so they get no credit to supposedly save Entrecard some money. How bogus! Why bother? What's in it for blog owners who are loyal to the company is the question..? Why don't they sell ad space to make money for their company like others have done? Supposedly they banned paid ads and paid credits and now I see them again. They say one thing and do another.

I stay and drop some,not alot as I have a life and i think the mad droppers are credited and their content sucks. Why not just write something worth while and share it on mutual blogs? Oh and have a real job that pays or make your money in the real world by designing something or being an artist or something.For many (Man this company blows.) Entrecard is becoming quickly a bitter pill that they don't really need to swallow at all!

When Old Becomes NEW Again..(Home Spa)

In this case, it refers to 'old posts' resurrected. * Why you may ask am I reposting old posts?! ..Well..apparently hardly anyone is looking at them and I do have the popular and most interesting ones listed even on the right towards the end of the page but then that is probably why noone reads them. That being that they are at the end of the page!

"HOme Spa" (2008)

I know today is supposed to be extremely hot here in upstate NY. Be especially careful folks if you have respiratory and heart problems or are elderly. Use your air conditions as opposed to fans which just blow pollen and such about..I use fans as I have pets and the other can be linked to arthritis. I like open windows especially in the summer but then that is me and I don't have major health concerns OK?!

What other home spa treatments are there you may be asking yourself?! Well I mentioned the other day that green tea was good for hair. It can also be used as a tint for hair along with vegetable oils. Henna is also used for a more natural effect as opposed to peroxide found in many dyes. Health food store does carry some colorings though that are not harsh or tested on animals. I like the Kiss my Face line of products see Kiss my face and Burt's Bee's soaps and such. Kiss my face line originated in the Hudson Valley of upstate NY in response to vegetarian's desire for ethical non animal testing healthy skin care products. I know my therapist years ago and we're talking say 1996, she used to use them..Anyway,the prices are great too.

I bought a tinted plum colored lip balm by Alba brand with peppermint flavoring in it. mm..They call them Terra Tints. They also come in like an ice pink and earth brown tones. see It has oils in it like olive,coconut and soy for moisturizing benefit too. In fact according to Dr. Bronner and Woods,they both also have great castile soap..see Dr.Woods and Dr. Bronner Anyway they say all you need is enough sleep and to use the castile soap with lavender,peppermint,olive,coconut,tea tree oils in it...and that is enough of a cosmetic for the skin. Makes sense as if you have perfect skin,skin being our largest organ..then why would we even need makeup to cover it up?! I would add to that beauty regimen tho in that I say drink alot of water also so you get all the poisons out of your body. Cranberry juice is good too as is sitting in the dead sea salts, I mentioned earlier.. as they bring the toxins to the surface and then you take a warm shower and then nap.

In these economic times it is hard now to go on a vacation or at least one that is far. NOt only this but it is a pain with the terrorists and the airport searches and long lines now with the gas situation and also the cost of travel whether by car or bus or plane..

What does one do?! Stay home! Make your home your sanctuary and a great place to be by investing in some home improvement. I bought recently some plants to beautify the front yard. I also bought an oil diffuser, a must with pets I have my paintings on my walls to a add a personal touch. I need to add light and color to the living room as is dark and drab. I will accomplish this with some wall treatments like adding canvas to the wall in a pastel color.

The room is a weird shape too as is rectangular not square. Slowly I will get it together. I have a nice front porch as i choose not to go in the back yard as there is poison ivy and weeds back there and the neighbors took it over anyway as are inconsiderate and rude. Yeh is supposed to be shared but what you gonna do with such people but avoid them. That is what I do. Let them hang out with the mosquitos I'll keep the front where I have a table chairs my bird feeders to watch the birds wind chimes and yes all my plants I just bought! I also go a rose bush a friend will put in ground for me today so I can have fresh roses all season. I love the smell of roses how about you?

Friend Bill worked the organic farm yesterday as is in charge of composting. In exchange he got some produce. He is bringing some radishes and fresh spinach to me today. mm..

In case you didn't know the leafy vegetables are great against depression. I don't know about you but I rather eat well than take those nasty pills with the side effects. Don't get me wrong,they are a great buffer. In times of stress they help. However food,healthy food can do wonders for you and help you think and function better. Omega fatty acids found in flax seed have been linked to better brain function and eye improvement as well. In fact vitamin deficiencies of omega fatty acids can cause learning difficulties. The oils too that I use in my practice help you be happier like orange and it makes you more alert like the fennel with the licorice smell.

Many office buildings that are SICK would be better off if windows were opened and they used these oils to help their employees. In the long run all would be healthier and do more work. Instead the air filtration vents are polluted often with dead animals like mice and they breathe in the fumes all day in close closed quarters. ugh!

Talk to the management. They did studies and checked the vents and you'd be surprised what they found. It's like the mattresses. Many are full of dust mites. Why you need to not only change your sheets regularly,at least once a week,but you also need to steam clean the mattress and rugs in your home. Rugs attract bugs like fleas and yes mites as they burrow into the weave of the rug and infections caused by the animal scratching and biting insanely in response to the bite and itch. They can cause mange in your pets and skin diseases so beware. Many vacuums have HEPA filtration systems that have good suction in picking up the dirt. The dust particles is what accumulate and can cause disease. Now vacuums are being made with lights on them with natural light to kill the bugs as well.

There are also natural sea salt air cleaners which absorb the pollutants. Keep your windows open and fans on to circulate the air during the summer months as it is warm enough now as opposed to the winter when the windows are closed due to cold temps. Drink lots of water and have juice too like grape for the heart and cranberry for the urinary tract. This flushes the toxins naturally without colon cleansers from the body. Load up on raw! Yes raw veggies and fruits,nuts,trail mix cereal,granola bars for snacking healthily. Use olive foil in your foods too.

Don't forget to exercise but be smart about it Please! Don't be out there in the high noon jogging like you see some fools do. Walk or bike for cardio in the morning early or in the evening hours. Don't forget our weights for toning but not too much ladies! We don't want to look like Neanderthals do we! ~ Let's embrace our femininity and lift not more than 10 lbs. but increase the repetitions to atleast 15 a day to prevent those sagging arms. You want to wear the sleeveless tops to be cool so do this.

EAt alot of salads too . One can have egg,macaroni,chef,tuna,chicken...you don't have to eat like a rabbit folks and yes yo can even use sow mayonnaise but use moderation n all things even as we know our exposure to the sun! We still do need the vitamin E it gives us so indulge but use sun screen.


Included copy right now as some here feel the need to use my blog name for their posts as they lack originality and can't come up with one of their own to represent self and thoughts. omg! how lame is that?! I tried to get some help with this but person who runs forum this person attends did nothing to help me and said person probably never even heard of me as they are in England and they made up a name themselves by stringing words together. To add insult to injury they said my request for them to intervene and ask for name change, was bizarre! I don't find it bizarre to not want to be linked to other person's posts. To top it off, if this isn't bad enough, someone else out there is using my site and company name Artzstuf. Forum owner said I could seek legal recourse if I wanted. For now I won't as is too much of a pain but.. I may in time as everything they write out there links to my stuff I write under these names which is rubbish I say! What you think? Has anyone ever copied for their own amusement anything of yours?!
