Oxygen Magazine….saved me!

April 26th, 2010

For the passed year and a half I’ve had extreme fatique, shortness of breath, severe sinus issues, healindsaydaches,  pain in my neck and my lower back, and to top that all off, a really bad attitude.   I spent over $500 in copays last year going to the dr trying to find out what was wrong with me….nothing.  They kept suspecting that I had mono, but after several tests, they determined that I might just have a virus.  Summer came and my symptoms lessened, so I assumed I was getting better.  The winter rolled in and it started again.  I still don’t know what was causing all of my symptoms.  Extensive tests delivered nothing but health. 

  I am a huge fan of Oxygen Magazine.  I’ve been getting these magazines for a couple of years, but have never had the energy to do the suggested exercises and keep up with the suggested clean eating.  Until about a month ago, I decided enough was enough.  I can’t lay hear feeling sorry for myself over a lack of diagnosis of my symptoms anymore.  I decided to start exercising , taking vitamins and eating a strictly clean diet.  I can’t say my health has improved 100%….but it’s extremely close.  Just from following the advice of Oxygen my life has significantly turned around.  I went from counting the minutes until I took a nap, to counting the minutes until I could get on my treadmill.  I have in the passed 6 weeks lost 13 pounds, and gain who knows how much muscle.  Anyone can lose weight, and they still look like a thinner version of themself.  Or you can add a small routine into your exercise date and you start to look toned and healthy.   Anyway, in addition to my weight loss and more toned legs and arms, my belly has started to flatten…..atleast 2.5 inches…..there’s not much left to pinch!!  AND my mood has been incredible since I started doing all this.  Just ask my husband….he would agree!  My health problems are fading and I don’t know how exactlly, but I am sure it has everything to do with exercise, vitamins and eating clean healthy meals and snacks frequently.

Estee Lauder Pore Minimizer

April 26th, 2010

poreSo, my mom came into some extra spending money….a settlement.  :)   She has been on a shopping   spree for about 5 days now, and I would be a big fat liar if I said I didn’t benefit from her night and day shopping attacks.   Aside from the new car, she purchased me a bottle of Estee Lauder Pore minimizer and let me tell you, I don’t know about minimizing my pores just yet, but it definately makes your face feel as soft as a new born baby’s butt.   Seriously…it feels like silk.  UNBELIEVABLE!  I can say that it’s possible that my pores have been reduced.  I need to take a little more time and investigate better.  I’ll keep you all posted!  :)

My biz…this ish is b-a-n-a-n-a-s

April 2nd, 2010

I have 3 websites currently up and running….well I may own way more than that, but only the 3 work right now.  I have www.BowtiqueWebDesigns.com which has been open for almost 5 years now and seriously needs a makeover.  I have www.LolliDoodle.com  Which is a site where people can learn more about HTML, coding and get cool free graphics and layouts.  Everything is free to grab and use where every you like, and of course credit to Lollidoodle is much appreciated.   And last but not least is www.PeachNineDesign.com.  This is my newer site, and it’s a little more sophistocated than the bowtique.  It still has a girlie feel to it, but it’s not the foo foo boutique style layouts you will find elsewhere.  I personally think it’s for those wanting to be taken more serious but still have a colorful,fun-loving professional look.   I sincerely need to add some more designs to it as soon as possible!

First Post….wooo hooooo

April 2nd, 2010

 My first post here at MAADDLife  is going to be just about that.  MAADDLIFE stands for My Adult Attention Deficit Disorder Life.  And my life is MAADD craziness!   Today, the girls were home with me all day, It was warm for early spring, we spent most of the playing outsite, then it was getting dinner ready and getting the kiddos to bed.  The whole day I was hoping that they would find something to keep them content for a couple of hours so I could get some home work, cleaning, and work done.  Didn’t happen….atleast not until the monkeys were asleep.  Amd then I crammed 2 homework assignments and a few ads and business card templates, and a few graphic revisions done in about 2 hours.  Now here I am at 1 am writing the first post for my blog that’s been waiting for me for months….LOL
