Shopaholic? Me?

I was reading that taking vitamins for acne for acne can work. Is it another ploy to make you spend more dosh? I am not sure but if you want to be logical about it, then you know that by taking vitamins you are ensuring your best of health. And usually with good health comes good skin. Add a healthy diet, good skin care routine and you should have good skin. At least that’s my theory. And if you want to spend… how about splashing out on a nice relaxing facial?

As I said that I would review diet products and this came to my attention, I thought I should mention it here. Apparently, the Federal Drug Regulators have released a warning to stop consumers from using hydroxycut products. This was followed by a subsequent recall of Hydroxycut products worldwide. However it is still on the market as a diet pill and could be dangerous. You might want to consider an alternative product just to be on the safe side.

I am redoing my outdoor area. You see with 3 small kids, I just have to reorganise it all. I am lucky that I have a small deck area and a concrete area which is covered in astro turf. Oddly I am actually having some trouble finding replacement astro turf but I am sure that I can find some online.

I have had to remove plants as they keep getting damaged by the kids. I bought a nice cheap set of chairs, table and parasol which can easily be replaced next year rather than expensive ones that need maintenance or outdoor chaise lounges which would be a nice luxury but are not compatible with 3 under 5. And replaced the luxury with lots of outdoor toys like a trampoline, see-saw and swing!

Tis the season for BBQ’s or perhaps more correctly Barbeques. Sunny warm days just calls for a nice barbie. Whether it is simply sausages and burgers or something more posh such as prawn skewers or even hickory chicken, they are always great fun and tastes even better. It makes me start to consider electric grills like perhaps a George Foreman so that I can have similar food even on a rainy day. The only problem is that it does not have that smokey flavour. Still, it is healthy and tastes good so it is still worth considering. Just where would I stick another appliance. Won’t my DH be unhappy if I get another kitchen gadget!!!

I heard you could use Ferrari parts on other cars. I think the old VW Beetle and Ferrari used similar parts. Or was it Porshe? I really don’t know much about cars. In fact for my previous car these were my requirements:-

1. It has 4 doors
2. It has 4 wheels

I did get my 4 wheels but it was a 2 door sports car!

My next car was it had to be a 7 seater… and yes, it is a 7 seater.

Need I say more?

I was pleasantly surprised by Samsung‘s customer service. Nearly 5 years ago I bought myself an American Style Fridge Freezer and has been very happy with it so far. Apparently some models had a small flaw (not that I noticed) and so they contacted us and sent out someone to do an alteration for FREE. Considering that it has been almost 5 years, I was very pleasantly surprised.

Meanwhile I have asked about a small flaw I did notice and they said they would fix it as it was a flaw they are aware about but they would have to send someone over. Now this was over a month ago… and I am still waiting… but I still hope. Meanwhile, I think I will contact them again just to keep it current.

I will keep shopaholic updated, but still, I am very pleased.

I have been thinking about real weight loss. I think hearing weight loss stories from real people can make such a difference. I had originally been inspired by a friend of mine who went from a size 24 to a size 12. And with this inspiration, I went from a size 24 to a 16. Meanwhile another friend went from a size 20 to a 16 in just a few months. The trick, we all calorie counted, exercised and were realistic. It can be done but no-one said it is easy.

My tip is to buy ready made meals with a calorie count on them. Makes it so much easier to calorie count and not cheat.

Isn’t it a nightmare getting rid of blackheads? Let me be honest, I enjoy the old fashioned way of just er squeezing but you aren’t meant to do that. Lotions and potions do not always seem to work either. You could steam your face and god knows what. I guess the best is to leave them alone… but they bother me so much. Wish I could turn back time to when I was a kid and was blissfully unaware of blackheads.

Meanwhile, a good steam and scrub will just have to do.

So another mini review for another diet pill. Although the apidexin reviews and comments are numerous, here is my two cents. It is another diet pill that you can buy over the counter. It is meant to be a fat burner made up fo 8 ingredients. It claims that you could lose up to 5 pounds a week combined with proper diet and exercise. But if you are ready to do the diet and exercise, do you really need the pill?

I think I just might get myself some disability insurance, because recently I have had such lack of sleep that I guess it is only a matter of time before I end up in a serious accident, as I cannot afford to not be able to have someone take over. As every mum knows, you have to keep going no matter what. I am surprised how many mums seem to do it with such style, whereas I feel like I cannot keep up. I seriously don’t feel like a yummy mummy but more like a slummy mummy!

As a shopaholic, it is a huge disgrace… but there you have it – the plain honest exhausted truth!
