Women and Dieting

I wonder how many women in the world have taken diet pills that work. I think I may be one of a few women under 30 who has never tried diet pills at all. I think nearly every woman my age has definitely tried some kind of weight loss program though. I’ve never paid for a weight loss program, but I have tried different products to lose weight. None have been very successful though. Now that I can see my 30th birthday staring at me down the road, (it’s not too far off) I’m really getting nervous about losing this weight that I want off.

I know for some people it’s harder to lose weight as they age. I really don’t want to be overweight when I turn 30. If I lose 20 pounds by the end of this year I will be so happy. If I lose a little more than that I’d be ecstatic! I’d definitely have to reward myself with something nice. It won’t be something edible though! :]

The Cutest Nursing Scrubs!!

My mother has been in the nursing field for over 15 years now and she really loves her job. I think she loves it just as much today as she did when she started working at her job. One thing she loves the most is the freedom that she has with her wardrobe. When she started her job she could only wear white. Now they allow her to wear anything she wants. So if she wants to buy cheap scrub sets in colors like purple and blue she can.

I was browsing http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/Original-Scrubs/ and they have scrub sets in the cutest colors ever. My mom would freak if she saw the stuff they have on that site. Not only do they have lilac scrubs, they also have eggplant scrubs! As someone who loves purple I’m sure she would want both colors.

It might sound a little crazy, but to be honest, I wouldn’t mind a pair of those pink sorbet scrubs that Blue Sky Scrubs sell. I’m not in nursing so I would have to wear my scrubs as pajamas or something! I would love that though.

Jewelry Crafts

Until I developed an interest in crafts and scrapbooking, I never realized how many everyday things you can use to create projects with. I never thought I’d be able to create a small album out of old toilet paper rolls or use old ice cream wrappers as a background in a painting or something. It’s pretty amazing though. I’ve even developed a love for jewelry making supplies. Even if you don’t make jewelry, they really come in handy for so many other things.

I use my wire cutters and tool kit to cut so many things. I’ve even started creating homemade charms and embellishments from old necklaces and stuff. As long as you have jewelry making supplies and old jewelry you can create tons of great crafts for a variety of different projects. Maybe I’ll post some ideas in the near future!

The Steam Team!

I was sitting here looking around my room today and I realized that I could really use a new carpet. After so much wear and tear, my carpet has finally had enough. Since I can’t afford to replace my carpet right now, having my carpet cleaned seems to be the best option. I would love to take everything out of my room and clean the carpet myself, but I don’t want to mess it up. I haven’t read many carpet cleaning tips, but common sense tells me if I don’t know how to do something it’s best to hire professionals, such as The Steam Team.

The Steam Team is a carpet cleaning service that serves the Austin and Dallas, Texas areas. Too bad I’m on the east coast because I could really use their services. Not only could I use their carpet cleaning services, but I could also benefit from a good upholstery and drapery cleaning. The chairs in the family room were pretty expensive, but after so many visitors they could use a cleaning.

If you live in Texas and you are in need of cleaning and restoration services you can check out http://www.thesteamteam.com/ for yourself to see if it is something you would be interested in. As for me, I guess I have to figure out a way to get my carpets cleaned on my own!
