International Bacon Day

I did not even know this was a thing, but it is. The saturday before Labor day, which this year is August 31.

...I can't even eat bacon and I think it's awesome. :-D

Melon Smoothies

As it's the season for melons, we've been getting a lot of them at the store. However, as I think I've mentioned before, I dislike the mouth feel of melons intensely. The taste never really does it for me, either.

However, since I made that last cantaloupe smoothie, I've been experimenting, and I'm in love with the melon smoothie, wow. Just awesome.

Seriously, LOVE this.

Doctors and patients with chronic conditions

A lovely letter to patients with chronic conditions, written by a doctor. Does a nice job of discussing the patient experience while sharing some of the doctors' too.

Can't even express the love for this

Why I'm a paranoid little SOB

I'm writing this mostly as a reminder to myself, about WHY I am as careful as I am. About WHY I need to listen to myself and not the people who think I'm paranoid because they don't have to deal with the consequences of my actions. Because seriously? It comes across that way.

Oil Cleansing Method

I have been using soapnuts liquid to wash my face and skin with, but I live in a desert and I have dry skin. The soapnuts cleans it, and doesn't strip the oil away, but it doesn't add any, either, and my skin simply never, well, glows.

That's what we all want, right? That glowy, lovely skin that...that I've never had, ever, so why I think I'll get it after 40 is a mystery. But I'll keep trying anyway!

Enter the 'oil cleansing method.'

Soapnuts 2

I've been using soapnuts liquid since November now. Here's the verdict so far.
