It's Time to Detox . . . and Exfoliate!

Image
When I woke up this morning and had one thought: It's time to detox. And I think the launch of the holiday season seems to be the best time to do that. Don't you? (Ha.) Well, I'm not so sure about that. But rather than just "throw in the towel" and let the holiday buffet roll me over, I think I'm simply going to  try to be  more mindful of how I'm fueling my body. So, here's my plan, I call it,  My  " Be More Mindful of How You Fuel Your Body Over The Holidays Plan" (That's a clear and limiting title if I ever heard one.) What exactly does it mean? Well, bear with me.  I'm not a dietician (but I play one on my blog), so I'm piecing together said-plan using 3 years of college life science courses, a shelf full of library books, a few O! Magazine articles, and a ton of here-say from friends. ( Sounds like solid research to me. Don't you agree? *smile*) And so far, here's ...

8 Ways to Enjoy a Rainy Day

Image
( NOTE : For those of you nowhere near Hysteria Lane, let me just begin by saying, "Yes, it's raining here." But I stopped worrying about rain in June when I stopped worrying about snow in May. It's all good.) I think I read this in an Eckhart Tolle book, but I am not sure. Something to the effect of, "Treat each situation as if you choose it." In other words, when it rains, act as though you wanted it to rain. When you gain 10 pounds, act as though you'd planned to gain 10 pounds. When your puppy pees on the carpet, act as though you'd wanted him to do that. (Yes, only male puppies pee on carpet.) Okay, maybe that last one is a little hard to "imagine." BUT the point is, we get to choose how we feel about every given situation in our lives. And while it may be impossible to imagine a time when you would WANT or CHOOSE some of life's crappy conditions, it's pretty incredible to see how different you feel when you...

A Year Ago . . . To THE Day

Image
I was thinking this morning about how much has happened this year! And so, I thought it would be fun to SEE what I posted on October 5th, 2010 --and then contrast it with what is happening  this year on October 5th . THEN: October 5, 2010 --I had just bought a camera to replace my broken camera. (Using a sweet coupon from Costco.)   --Our family went to our favorite pumpkin patch and picked our very own pumpkins off the vine--8 of them.   --My hair was longer. Well, longer in a short style kinda way.   --I was mid-way through my own Survivor "boot camp," going to the gym everyday at 6:30am and 4pm. (SIDENOTE: I did not know whether I'd be going on Survivor 23 at this point. I had been cast the previous year, and then cut, so all of my gym time was really just preparing myself for the possibility of S23.)   --Dave-man was working a 3am-noon shift. FUN. FUN. FUN. For everyone.   --I was on an a...
