I have already written a review about my love of Taza Chocolate for a different website. Still, I cannot have a category on this website entitled “Mocha Madness” without at least mentioning Taza Wicked Dark Chocolate. After all, it is my absolute favorite food in the whole, wide world. I love this stuff so much that I wait until they offer a 20% discount and then order enough to receive free shipping, which is super fast. If I run out…
I have had such amazing results with this mask that I feel compelled to share my experience with you in case you, too, are suffering from Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, and especially from chemicals that are hidden in fragrances. If you are not familiar with my story, you can read it here. The Base Camp Dust Breathing Mask represents my third attempt at using a mask to protect myself from chemicals in fragrances that were causing severe brain fog which was…
Hello, Everyone! I have been enjoying a series of busy and productive days, and I am amazed to find myself coherent enough to spend time writing between other tasks, often into the evenings. Maybe mental clarity is typical for you, and you are thinking, “Yeah, so?” but for me, it is a significant event. I will take advantage of this momentary cognizance and fill you in on why you haven’t heard from me in so long. It has been more…
Our home is our refuge–a place we should be able to kick back and relax and enjoy the company of our family, human or otherwise, and friends. We want our houses to smell good, especially on special occasions like holidays or when we are entertaining. Unfortunately, just about everything we do leaves an odor behind. We are surrounded by scents from cooking, dirty laundry, pets, diapers, stuffy air, and more. To put it simply: Life stinks. Automatic air fresheners quickly replace those…
Maybe I’m not a blogger after all. I think I get distracted too easily. In the length of time it has taken me to write those first two sentences, I have jumped out of my seat twice and run to the windows because for several days I have been hearing a noise that sounds like it could be a cat. Or maybe a bird. The trees are so thick with leaves, that’s all I can see no matter where I…
Guest post by Erin Odoyo Greetings, lovely readers! I’m Erin, of Erin’s Counter Mission and I’m so excited Theresa has invited me to guest post to share with all of you about my passion project. Let’s get right into it… Do you know what was happening in the United States in 1938? No? Well let’s see, Franklin D. Roosevelt was the President, the very first Superman comic was published, ball point ink pens hit the market, Snow White and the…
I had a revelation this morning. Since I am a reasonably shallow person, most of you are not likely to see this as mind-blowing information, but I’m going to share it anyhow because maybe it will help someone. In December 2018, I found out that I have osteoarthritis, and as soon as I shared that little piece of information, I started to receive advice from people with similar issues. One bit of advice came up far more frequently than any…
Dear Tylenol, I’m back but I’m not sticking around. This will just be a short visit, I’m sure, and then I’ll be on my way. By the way, I never thanked you for the last time you helped me out. I really appreciate you letting me stay for those couple of weeks when Osteoarthritis was giving me a hard time. I don’t know what I would have done without you. Thank you for giving me a comfortable place to…
Do you ever just feel like rambling, even though you have absolutely nothing to say? That’s how I feel right now. It’s day 4 of not sleeping and my brain is misfiring. (I know, last week I made a public announcement declaring that I was sleeping well for the first time in my life. It was awesome. Truly amazing. For like ten days or something I enjoyed deep, blissful sleep.) It was a happy place in my life. I hope…
Yesterday was one of “those” days. You know what I mean. Sometimes before you go to bed at night you say, “Tomorrow I’m going to do thus and such. It’It is going to be a beautiful day and I’m looking forward to doing the things that I’m planning to do.” A wise sister once told me, “We cannot always control our circumstances but we can control our attitude about our circumstances.” That is so true. So how do we…
