I just made a new website that I hope others love as much as I do. Right now it's in the beginning stages, but the idea is to get what you want for something you don't want. Most of us (if not all of us) are being careful of what we spend money on. We are always looking for sales, coupons, bargains and even used goods. Why not look around the house for something you don't want or don't use anymore and see if you can trade it for something you do want. I'm in love with the show Barter Kings and after seeing the show ONCE I jumped up and bought my own domain name for a barter site. I think it's a great way to get what you want by saving money. I'm also a big fan of keeping things clean, so going through my closets and garage are the best ways to clean out the stuff that I don't use. Check out the site and post some stuff that you might want to trade or barter for. I'm sure you've got something lying around... :-) www.barterfreaks.com

When I first got engaged it was a time to celebrate and just be happy. Settling into the moment was the next step, but things started to change at work and on the home front.

I realize that women have lots of choices on birth control these days. Hopefully those women will do more research then I did when trying one out for the first time. Hear about my awful experience on the Nuvaring and the suicidal thoughts and depression that it gave me...Read More.

I'm always struggling to lose weight and keep it off. The last time I lost a lot of weight I started at 265lbs and worked my way down to 196lbs. I can't tell you the joy I felt when I broke through the 200lb mark. I would tell you that I celebrated by jumping up and down, but I probably celebrated with a cupcake.

That was 2 years ago and I forget to be proud of myself for keeping MOST of it off. For a while now I've been fluctuating between 200 and 206lbs and I'm ready to make the next big move... Read more

It was a surprise to walk into this adorable place with no one seated or eating. Typically this would be my first red flag for me to make a bee line to the door. On the other hand it had a beautiful almost meditative type feeling from the moment you step in the door... Read more.

Lately I see more and more people buying organic food to take care of their insides, but what about our outsides. Our skin is the largest organ in the body so wouldn't it make sense to take care of it. Check out my views on some organic products and while your at it click the iphone to buy a new I <3 Organic skin for it. Click here to go to the blog.

The trip to Jamaica was incredible. There were so many adventures to try out and even more food to try. It's definitely on the top of my list as most memorable trip especially since my sister Patti came with me. She flew out from California and I met her in Montego Bay where we talked the nights away... Read More
