10 Golden Rules for a Better Body This Summer. Plus, A Tropical Honey-Coconut Smoothie Recipe!

Ever since I resigned from my old job, I've felt 100 times better. I lost 20 pounds. My thyroid levels are stable (I have Hyperthyroidism). My attitude on life is beyond anything I've ever felt before.  I'm more of a Positive Polly than a Negative Nelly these days and I love it! My health has improved so much over the last 7 months, even my doctor is amazed. She stated my job was way too toxic. I wholeheartedly agreed with her. And that's why I left. For some strange reason, I can't … [Read more...]

Last Post of The Year – Goodbye 2012, Hello 2013!

I know this blog has had many crickets these past few months. It's not my fault. I still love to blog.  But it's just that I'm one tired mommy who wants to come home after a hard day's work and just spend time with my family.  And the funny part is that I have about 20 titles ready for my little ol' blog so it's not like I don't have anything to say here -- I have LOTS to say. I just need time. Time is a major factor for me.  I'm sure it's a major factor for everyone but some people know … [Read more...]

Ramblings: An Update on Life…

Where do I even start? My mind is going a mile a second and I can't even get my thoughts processed correctly these days.  It's been almost nine months since I started working full time and I've got to be honest, it's been difficult for me.  On top of my thyroid condition (I HATE it!), being anemic and feeling tired all the time - it's hard for me!  It's especially difficult knowing that my kids won't have much of a summer because both parents are working full time, five days a week, to get … [Read more...]

Family Matters…..or does it?

When it comes to family and the bond families have with one another, it's no doubt that you should be able to count on your family when the chips are down, right?  In my heart, family matters. It's the main piece to any puzzle. Unfortunately, that isn't always the case. When I was a kid, I grew up in a tight-knit family. I saw fights, arguments, crying and lots of love in between it all.  No matter the issue, there was a bond that I always saw that was very important. Yes, people gave … [Read more...]

After a few days….

of being MIA, I am back. Hopefully. I've been so busy with my resume and job hunting.  It sucks big time.  I know this is not a good time to look for a job but I've been looking for the past 3 months.  I'm hoping to find something that is good paying and something with excellent hours (I know, wishful thinking).  I rather work at home but I'm having no luck in finding something that I can do at home, especially without paying some sort of fee. So, if someone knows of a work at home … [Read more...]
