About a year ago we purchased a new bed. It is amazing. I sleep far better on it, then the old one. However, I do seem to wake up with some neck aches. This actually is pretty common. We’ve tried buying new pillows a million times. It seems I never buy the right one or within a few weeks they are all tattered and worn. I want to invest in some GOOD pillows. Hubby has agreed, so I started searching online for some healthy pillows, something that will last, something that will be allergen free. I came across Healthy Dreams Pillows. Here’s a video:

Okay now let me tell you, the more I read about these pillows, the more convinced I was I *needed* them. When I read that most pillows begin growing mold, bacteria and dust mites soon after you start using them, and then problem only gets worse over time. Why? Well because we breathe moisture into our pillows as we sleep. Makes sense right? Well the Healthy Dreams pillows have a Micrenza bio-filter. This makes them to be the first truly germ-free, mold-free, and allergen-free pillow available! The filter is made from the same material as the  N95-rated surgical mask, so you know it truly works! I thought the price of them at first was a little deterrent, however, once I thought about it… $10.00 for a moderate standard pillow at a department store, replaced 5 times (less then 5 years) you have spent $50.00. The Healthy Dreams pillows come with a 10 YEAR warranty. Now the next question you are going to ask, but what if I spend all that money and hate it. First, you won’t, BUT if you do, they give you a 60 days  Unconditional Return Privilege. Okay, honestly the thing that sold me on my new bed was that I could have a 30 days IN HOME trial and they would either fix or replace it. This is so much nicer then laying on it for 5 minutes and deciding if it’s right. So the fact I can try the pillows, just completely sealed the deal for me!! I think I found my winner!!

I scrapped 2 new layouts. These layout where not for the ADSR they were just because. So here they are:

Both of them are linked to my DST Gallery in case you want to see credits or leave a comment there for them. I am having fun getting back in to scrap booking again. It’s so zen-like for me!! Okay I am off to grab some dinner! Have a great night bloggers!

Frequently I seen infomercials on TV and pass right through them. In fact I usually find them nothing more then annoying. I hate them and think they are a waste of the hour or whatever time they are on. Really. However, today when I was sitting in the pedicure chair I didn’t have the luxury of changing the channel. I was forced to watch the dreaded infomercial! However, this one was for the “Ninja“. I must say I was impressed. Without a shadow of doubt by the end of the infomercial I had jotted down the number and was SURE I was going to own a Ninja. I was SURE my kitchen needed this appliance. I could then get rid of my less then par food processor and my shady blender. It would also take the place of my hand mixer *most* of the time. My husband would love this because he loves healthy things and protein drinks. With this he can serve up a protein drink in no time and he is able to make a healthy breakfast drink or what not. Guys, if you are looking for gifts for her, I promise you, she will love this… especially if she loves Margaritas, Mojitos or other slushie drinks!! You can make so many yummy things in this! I am drooling thinking about it. Baby food, frozen drinks, slushes, snow cones, deserts, soups, salads, salsa, etc in MINUTES! And honestly I can say, I am NOT being paid to brag about this product! I just truly love it that much!

Tomorrow is hubby’s birthday… We are going out to dinner. No big plans since he is working nights tonight. He will have to get back into the swing of sleeping at night again, but it will be nice to not have to cook and to be out with the family for dinner. The extended family. Mother in law, Father in law, his brother, his brother’s girlfriend, the kids, hubby and I. It’s always a riot!

In other news… Last week I went to the doctor with chest pain. It’s not really pain like you probably would have with a heart attack and I wasn’t too worried. I am growing a little more concerned however. Here’s why. The doctor felt that it was more of an arthritis type thing and put me on anti-inflammatory medicine. He also to rule it out put me on Prevacid in the morning and Zantac at night for GERD. However, since my Gall Bladder was removed 4 years ago I have not had ANY heartburn at all. Prior to that I was a heartburn pro. Let me tell you, THIS does NOT feel like heartburn. I’m at a loss because after 9 days of aggressive treatment I still have no resolution. I still have this chest pain and it’s not getting worse, but it’s not going away. I don’t want to make yet another appointment because I feel the doctor was SO dismissive the first time, but I don’t feel like I should sit with this pain either. It’s not shooting pain, it’s not uncomfortable intolerable pain, it’s just there in the middle of my sternum. Totally at a loss….

How many of you are Black Friday Shoppers? I used to be all about catching the deals in the stores, but I must say that as I have gotten older this is something that has changed. I am ALL for the convenience of ONLINE shopping and have become a MUCH bigger fan of Cyber Monday. I love having everything delivered right to my door, no rushing for parking spots, no running into people, no waking up and having to LEAVE my house… It’s heaven!! Honestly, I am much more for the online stuff these days. I’ve become a much bigger fan of shopping this way, for every occasion. I love it!!

It’s official! I made it through the first week and guess what… I’m not a morning person. I’ve already discovered this amazing tidbit of information. Waking up at 6:30am has proved to kick my ass in more ways then one. I’ve been productive this week, but it certainly has not come without a price. I’ve not really WANTED too. I’ve done it despite the desire to crawl back into bed. I’ve managed to do laundry and be a productive member of society. Yes, I really can function all day. I’ve been in bed no later then 10:30pm every night though. It’s sad… hopelessly pathetic.

I did however have enough time to make a new profound discovery this week as well as get started on a new project. The discovery… Clean and Clear face wash. I’ve always seen them advertise the best acne treatments but I’ve always wanted a face wash that made my skin “tingly” when I washed it. I found one!! It’s amazing. It’s the Deep Clean Facial Wash! MUST HAVE!!! The project… Getting SOME of my music into iTunes for loading onto my iPhone. Then I proceeded to make a ringtone for FREE!! I used this awesome tutorail. Okay seriously, I am beginning to wonder WHAT this phone CAN’T do? I am seriously head of heels in love and I will NEVER be trading my iPhone. I don’t know what other phone has brought me THIS much happiness… EVER… LOL

Okay, time to get some housework finished and maybe I can catch a little afternoon nap (shhh)…
