Books on my phone!!

There really is nothing better than the feel of a book in your hand. There is a certain sent that old library books give off as the glue and paper start to deteriorate. However, those great smelling tomes are a bit bulky to carry around...

I have been reading The Hangman's Daughter, but found I had forgotten my Kindle at home. Enter the Kindle app for Iphone. BRILLIANT! On my tiny screen I was able to continue reading. This app brings the books you have on your Kindle to your phone via cloud technology. And you don't have to download all the books! Just the ones you want.

In a word - Brilliant!

Detox - would work if I ate right...

Just an a update on the Jillian Micheal's Detox and cleanse - eh. I was able to get through the process, but really, no effect. Possible due to the fact that I have not been eating right or exercising as I should. On the plus side, I did not have the headaches and other symptoms that other reviewers described.

Overall, what can you expect for a $10 cleanse? Not much, but at least I tried.

Detox and Cleanse...Naturally

I hate to admit it, but I am a sucker for latest phases in weight-loss and diets. I have always struggled with my weight and fluctuate up and down and never seem to maintain. The worst part is when I have gained a few I am , without fail, complimented about how great I am doing on my diet/exercise plan of the moment. Since January I have been (badly) balancing - 

1. Weight Watchers (it works, when you actually plan ALL your food)

2. Flat Belly Diet (great plan for the first 4 day, but too many choices later)

3. Walking/Running/Weight lifting.

I have now gained and lost, gained and lost about 10 lbs..the same ones.  Granted, my eating has NOT been the greatest, but I work out 6 to 7 days a week. However, I feel that I need to hit that reset button, especially with an upcoming wedding (or two) and trip to Costa Rica. 

Enter Jillian Michael Triple Process Total Body Detox and Cleanse Probiotic Replenishment. What a mouthful, eh? I have been very conscious of what I have been putting in my body and have really veered away from processed foods or ones with too many ingredients. Reading the label, along with the Jillian Michael's label sold me (price point of $10 at CVS helped too).  It included

- Ginger - ok, know it and put it in my water, 

-magnesium - good for muscle recovery

-dandelion root -ok, yummy, natural, 

-garlic 

-Chinese rhubarb 

-yarrow

and a few ones I don't know - Irish moss, buckthorn bark, butternut bark,and  uva-ursi

There are not many reviews out there for this, but many mentioned headaches and bad cramping starting day two. Well, here I am on Day 2 - a slight headache, but that can be counted as there is a lack of caffeine, but no cramping. Not looking to lose weight with this, but getting all those apple fritters, beer and icky foods to go away.

Free Book? Yes Please!

  So blogosphere, I have been silent lately as I haven't not really trying anything new. Well, consuming too many things, but nothing to write home about. Until....now!

I am a Bzz Agent and received an very exciting invite to try a book free for my Kindle. Summer vacation is right around the corner, and as a teacher I tend to inhale books like oxygen. Let me tell you, what will be turning my electronic pages are The Hangman's Daughter and The Dark Monk by Oliver Pötzsch. Back to 17th century Bavaria I go to solve the mystery of a body with an odd tattoo coming out of the river.
