New Year Just Be You

A New Year, A New Just Be You

You’ve read just about everyone at this point and they’re all telling you to change!  They advise you on how to change your attitude, how to change your weight, how to declutter your life and so on!
But instead of trying some new outlandish diet, or taking on a whole house Feng Shui, to not only declutter but find your center; try just being yourself.

Start by really setting a goal, not a resolution. I’m sure those clothes from 1980 are ugly, don’t fit and are most likely cluttering your closet, but since they’ve been there that long do you think this is what’s weighing you down or stopping you from your latest advancement at work?; most likely not.

We need to be truthful to ourselves because we know ourselves the best. We know if we procrastinate. We know if we can’t tackle large jobs. We do know the solutions, and that’s where we should begin.

We know that perhaps work requires another class of some sort to advance, so perhaps we need to take an online course to accomplish that. 
Maybe we do want to clean the closets, instead of the whole house or apartment, why not be more reasonable and say just one closet at a time, and take it even further just the clothes, next time the accessories. This may even be too large of a job, for a few extra dollars hire someone (who’s not emotionally attached to the sweater mom gave you in your teens) who’ll go through your things with you or without with abandon and it will be done that day.

The point is, no one knows you better than you do. You know that the journaling you’ll do will last the week and then the journal will collect dust, so don’t disappoint yourself. Try another resource if keeping notes is your want-to-be- change. Check free online sources or perhaps an app on your phone will be enough for you.

Just be you. If you don’t think that getting fifty chores done by 5am will help you~ don’t try. Finding your center may well be just one hour of sitting quietly actually thinking. It may not be change you need at all, and it may just be enough motivation to take you to your next level. 

 So don’t freak because you don’t have a resolution because your biggest goal is to just find you.

Enjoy your journey whatever it may be, you will still be you in the end.

Dimethicone: Chemical Gets A Bad Rap

Image
What is dimethicone? Why does it get such a bad rap?  It is primarily because it is a commonly used product and an additive, and secondarily it is a man-made silicone polymer and it’s always listed alongside things like phthalates and triclosan. It is a chemical. Dimethicone is in a lot of cosmetics and in products given to you by a certified dermatologist and even in items for babies. Chemistry Photo credit: Pinterest Dimethicone is normally only used topically and found in the cream type form. Dimethicone works because it forms a barrier for and against moisture by doing one of two things, trapping it on the skin or trapping it away from the skin. It fills pores and smooths the look of the skin may fill in wrinkles and fine lines on the face, and it also provides an emollient that will sooth skin to fight the effects of sunburn and diaper rash.

Deadliest Record-Breaking Cold Weather Is Dangerous

Photo Credit: Medicentres.com Today's post is in response to the dangerous cold and record-breaking weather that is upon approximately 110 million people! I am currently one of those people in the path of this polar vortex weather, and I am not happy. Midwesterners are tough, rugged and live through a lot of weather extremes, however, what is predicted to come for the next two days is just dangerous. A little less than half of the North American continent has an extreme weather forecast right now and in the next week or so. My area tomorrow is predicted to be in the -50 (negative temps) to possible -60's !. The sub-zero temps are here already, but tonight and tomorrow will be excruciating! A meteorologist at the Weather Prediction Center is passing along information right now telling the American public the exposed skin in that kind of extreme will take only a matter of seconds to frostbite and cause hypothermia. According to the Mayo Clinic   (see  their defini

Magnolias In My Kitchen Very Simple Flower Centerpiece

Image
It's a very cold January day and not one glimpse of the sun is to be had. The ground is covered in snow and now there's even freezing drizzle/rain to add into making this a long winter's day. There's only one thing you can do is to bring warmth in, by way of flowers. I have these two magnolia stems sitting right near me, One has three blooms on it and one has two. They feel bright and remind me of summer. Those warm days where the car windows are down and the Grateful Dead are playing Sugar Magnolia on the radio. And the only thing you can do is wave your arms out to feel the breeze while you're singing the song! A lovely flower centerpiece will liven, brighten and warm my room. So I gathered a  few things: the two magnolia stems Some dried green moss, that I use often, it truly makes me think of spring and summer with its very vibrant green and even brown sticks!  2 very large bell-shaped dimpled glass containers, graduated in size the large
