Bought it!

Thanks to Lemuel Craft

I had been considering buying a house for the longest time but I wasn’t sure if it made sense for me. A mortgage was definitely going to cost more than my rent and at the end of the day what was I going to do with all that extra space? I finally bit the bullet at the end of last year and let me tell you, I’ve never been happier. I don’t have to worry aboutroommates in my space or asking permission to paint a wall or anything like that which is just such a load off. I got HughesNet so I could online shop and I even installed DirecTV which has been really nice to watch all my games on but you know, at the end of the day all I really like to do is just sit on my couch and stare at MY walls and think about how they’re paid for. Is that a weird thing to do? I Don’t know that I care if it is!

A Cool New Shopping Site!

I've been looking for a site other than ebay or amazon to buy my beauty products and finally I have found one! I came across the site become, where I found some great skinceuticals discount. I love how they offer price comparisons on other sites. This allows you to get the lowest price available.

I also found some aveda products cheap which is a good find! This products are normally quite expensive so this was a relief. I really like Aveda and am glad I can find all of their products in one place. This site is very informative and easy to navigate. I definitely like it better than any others' I have found!

I saved the best part of this site for last! The awesome natural products, such as, tea tree oil is available here. I want to use the most natural and healthy products and this is one of them. The shampoo sounds like it will smell amazing and it is a great price. I cannot wait to try it!

Pretty Sure I'm going to Try This!

Gearing up for Mary Poppins and my New York trip

Guest post written by Lauren Foster

One of my favorite places in the world to visit is New York City. I've been about five our six times now and every time that I've gone I got hte idea to go on a trip because of a special Broadway play that's coming out that I want to see. This time around it's Mary Poppins. I remember the first time that I watched the movie, I was so excited about it and asked my mom why I didn't have a nanny. But my mom was a stay-at-home mom so that was a pretty easy explanation. Now that I'm going to see the play, I'm going to take my mom with me as a special treat for her birthday.

While I was looking online to see about ordering some discount tickets for the play, I ran across some information about a free hearing test and told my mom about it. She signed up for a test in a few weeks. I think if she gets fitted with some hearing aids she'll enjoy the play and our trip more.

I really can't wait to see the Mary Poppins play, but I think that I'm going to also see a few other plays while we're in town.

Vitamin and Mineral Supplements

• Vitamins and Minerals are organic compounds that your body needs to function properly.

• One long term study found that increased doses of Selenium may reduce the risk of lung, colon, breast, prostate and esophageal cancers.

• Large doses of Vitamin A can cause fatigue, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and blurred vision.

• The cheaper supplements are just as effective as the brand name ones.

• Take a few supplements per day, not time released ones and take them with meals.

About Chinese Medicine

• There are 2 basic concepts in Chinese medicine:

                   1.) All things in the universe (living and inanimate objects) are connected to one another.

                  

                   2.) All living things are inhabited and animated by an invisible force called "qi" (pronounced "Chee").

• In China, most of the country still rely on Chinese medicine.

• Chinese only use their senses to diagnose what they hear, see, feel and smell.

• Experienced Chinese doctors can distinguish up to 32 different pulse patterns.

• Acupressure uses your fingers to stimulate specific parts of your body.

• A good acupuncturist gets results in 6-12 sessions depending on the severity of the problem.

What Is Serotonin?

Serotonin

I. Introduction


             1.) Today I will be sharing with you the word Serotonin
2.) I found this word while skimming the pages of my psychology book.

II. Body
1.) The psychology definition; A neurotransmitter used by systems of neurons believed to regulate sleep, dreaming, appetite, anxiety, depression, and the inhibition of violence.
The encyclopedia definition;
        Organic compound that was first recognized as a powerful vasoconstrictor occurring in blood serum.
It was partially purified crystallized and named in 1948, and its structure was deduced a year later.
    Independent work found that serotonin is also found in wasp stings, scorpion venom various nuts and fruits such as; pineapples, bananas, and plums. Its function in stings and venoms might be that of an irritant, since injections of serotonin in man produce pain at the site of injection, gasping, coughing, a general tingling sensation, nausea, cramps, and other unpleasant symptoms.


2.) A normal average adult possesses about 5-10mg of serotonin, 90% of which is in the intestine and the rest in blood platelets and the brain.


3.) During a migraine attack:
                  Serotonin levels become very low causing the blood  vessels to be unusually large. These expansions are believed to be the cause of the throbbing pain in the temple of your eye. The dramatic changes in serotonin level and reduced blood flow may be the cause of not only the head pain but also the nausea and distorted vision or speech that often accompanies a migraine.
