Counting Sheep…

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

A problem that I have suffered from as long as I can remember, is becoming a problem that is gathering quite a bit of attention from health care professionals as well as the media lately. That is the lack of sleep. Personally, I have had spells of insomnia, like I said..since I can remember.
Not being able to sleep properly literally affects you negatively in every area of your life so finding something to relieve this, and to help us sleep, is absolutely tantamount to being able to lead a normal daily life.

For me, as with many other Americans…my first thought was over the counter drugs. NSAIDs like Tylonal PM or antihistamines like Benadryl, or even diphenhydramine like Sominex and Unisom, etc. The ads say these medications arent habit forming…or harmful, but unfortunately they are. The NSAID sleeping pills contain APAP that is filtered through the liver harmfully, and the other over the counter medications are not only psychologically addicting but they are also filtered through the liver…which can be dangerous.
So then, the next step is going to the doctor…for example, I was prescribed Ambien. Ambien worked if you were able to fall asleep on it. However, for me, I could not ever fall asleep on the medication and I started to have vivid hallucinations, and MASSIVE memory loss. When I spoke to my doctor about these things he just told me they were normal side effects of the medication. Now, I am sorry..but….I just dont want to fool with it.

So what are we supposed to do? BestSleepingPills.org can help you find the perfect sleeping pill that will allow you to get the perfect nights rest. And the best thing? They are all TOTALLY NATURAL.

Insurance

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

Insurance is a HOT issue right now…it literally seems like everyone is talking about it. I mean, I know that every time I turn on the radio I am hearing about insurance and health care..and in a lot of cases those things go hand in hand. Unfortunately for a lot of us, insurance is just too expensive. Sometimes it really just is not an option and that is very, very unfortunate. However…I have found a great place to check out some different insurance quotes for both personal AND business insurance for everything from home, to auto, to renter, to life. 2insure4less.com has you taken care of..literally.

Going somewhere?

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

I am long overdue for a vacation, but it probably wont happen. I just dont have the money…but..that is for another blog post! Hehehe.

Today I want to write a little bit about traveling in style. Everyone has their own style and until recently I never imagined that style spilling over into EVERY LITTLE area of your life including luggage and stuff like that. However, when I found myself searching for cool vintage luggage cases…I realized..wow..style really does infiltrate every aspect of your life. SOOOO I wanted to tell you all a little bit about Eagle Creek luggage. These guys totally dominate. They have literally every kind of luggage you can ask for from light weight carry ons, to to duffel bags, to day adventure packs, etc. Not just that..but the range of STYLESSSS oh my goodness! They have everything..business, business casual, totally casual, vintage look…you name it and they probably have it.

So, basically what I am saying is…Eagle Creek has you covered when it comes to traveling in style.

Happy Birthday To Me!

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

I didnt really mention it at all, because the past couple of weeks have been really, really difficult for me…but last Sunday was my birthday! Woohoo! Happy late birthday to me, right? Anyway…despite the circumstances..I had a pretty good birthday. My cousin came over with her boyfriend, and their new daughter Layla, my mom cooked us a really good dinner..and Kelley got me some cool stuff (speaking of..I need to water my plant!). One thing that wasnt specifically a birthday present though..was this HUGE television set she gave me. It was her grandmothers for a long time, then hers, but now she bought two snazzy new flat screen/plasma screen televisions…so she didnt need that one anymore. Quite frankly…I am happy to take it off of her hands! Haha. I will admit, I do not watch TV anywhere near as much as I used to..but since I got that TV I have been watching about 30 minutes day.
