As stated previously, I am on a mission to drink and maintain more water intake. I drink a little more than a gallon a day and had a good system down. I would keep my water in a gallon container on the counter, and I drank out my “special” cup. There really is nothing special about it, other than I like it and it is a perfect size with measuring’s on it up to 19oz.

First, let me start off by saying, my special cup is a replacement to my initial “favorite” cup that was found broke because someone dropped something, stepped on it, or maybe fell on it the jury is still out on what actually happened with it.

Anyway, I wake up one and was horrified at what I saw! Someone had knocked my empty gallon on the container off the counter and had inadvertently stepped on it and crushed it ! Surprised doesn’t even do justice to what I was feeling. But, I picked myself up and figured I would go later that day and get me another container. Well, I never got around to going to get another container…to busy with everyone in the house. So I went on with my water drinking habits, using my favorite “special” cup. Because after all it has measurements on it so I can continue making sure I drink enough.

Well this morning, I woke up and started my morning ritual of filling my gallon container and getting my “special” cup, only to find my “special” cup is missing! It is not in the dishwasher, sink, my room, or anyone else’s room for that matter. I have torn up the house looking for my “special” cup. Alas, prior experience has taught me to fear the worse. I feel like I have a house full of double agents working against me!! .

So here I sit, typing on my computer drinking my water out of………a gallon milk jug

The idea of having a miracle potion to attract the opposite sex would interest anyone. Just like the movie, Love Potion #9, to be able to spritz a little “magic potion” on you and have every man or woman wanting you is just what the depressed and lonely are praying for. So when I heard about the best-pheromones.com site which boasts the possibility of just this, let’s just say my interest was peaked. It goes in depth about how pheromones can be used to attract the opposite sex. The site makes it very easy to navigate to either attract men or women, with one click of a button.

For women, once you click on the “attract hot men” button you will be taken to a page that tells you a little more about pheromones. Pheromones, are very powerful scents that can have powerful effects on the opposite sex. Women can find a brief introduction and explanation about pheromones on this page, or you can click through the site and learn more about the products. This company has  a product called Super Concentrated Pheromone, which is stated by them to be “so effective that it is almost unfair to men”, I like that sentence! That one sentence makes me eager to try.

Men who get to the site will click on “attract sexy women” , because men don’t want un-sexy women, of course , and be taken to a page discussing their product and human pheromones, this link will take you to have a look at their product. I have read articles before stating the effects of testing pheromones on men and the response seen from the opposite sex so it would be interesting to see this product actually at work. Browsing the site, men are sure to want a bottle to get that special, or un-special, woman. If you want more information about the scientific study of pheromones, they have a page devoted just to clinical studies.

After fully going through the site, I found an article which was really fascinating. It told about a test ABCNEWS did on the Super Concentrated Pheromone product with a set of twins. They put the product on one twin and a market cologne on the other. They found that the twin using the product was approached 3x more than the one without it. That is incredible to me. If you still aren’t convinced about the power of human pheromones, click on this link and read some of the testimonials. After reading this, I think you will agree with me, pheromones really are nature’s love potion!

I have always been told I give off the smell of sweet butter. I put no thought into it the first time I heard it, but more and more I was being told this. Subsequently, I had always noticed my husband had a familiar smell but I couldn’t put my hands on it. Then one day it hit me, he smells like sweet peas. Specifically, his breath smelled like it. Still, at this point, I didn’t think too much about it. After I had my second daughter, I was playing with her one day and noticed she, also, smelled like sweet peas! I didn’t know what it meant, us having these distinct smells, so I decided to do some research into it and found out about pheromones.

The definition of pheromone is an agent secreted by an individual that produces a change in the sexual or social behavior of another individual of the same species; a volatile hormone that acts as a behavior-altering agent. Which basically means you smell . The reactions from pheromones can modulate sexual activity or affect aggression. In animals it is released through skin, urine, feces, and their breath, just like my husband’s. Scientist found that in humans it is mostly secreted through our skin and usually associated with sweat glands and areas having hair.

I also found that women’s underarm odors can synchronize the timing of other women’s reproductive cycles. This explains why women who live together often develop synchronous menstrual periods. I have noticed this a countless number of times when working or living with other women. But I always just thought it was coincidence, pretty cool.

Pheromones are believed to help attract the opposite sex. If this is true, maybe you don’t need to use all those perfumes and deodorants to attract that special someone. Ever met someone and immediately you clicked or seen a couple and wondered how they ended up together….well maybe, just maybe, it’s pheromones at work.

When I was younger I suffered horribly from Fever Blisters (Herpes Simplex 1), they would cover my whole lower face. My mom was at her wits end trying to find me some relief until one day we walked into a pharmacy and the pharmacist, a very nice woman, advised my mother to try me with Lysine. She advised I should take one pill a day and it may keep the blisters at bay. Well she was correct. Every since that day the only time I have fever blisters is when I can’t/don’t take my Lysine. I take about 500mg a day and 1000mg when I feel one starting. I sometimes forget because I am so used to not having any, but as soon as I feel a tingle or an itch I remember very quickly.

When I was pregnant with my kids, I couldn’t take Lysine so I had to get prescriptions from my Dr’s to help with my problem. Lysine can not be taken when pregnant so you will have to use an alternate prescription. Nothing can take the place of Lysine for me. It is easily available and no prescription needed. Lysine is one of nine essential amino acids that the body need for growth and tissue repair. It is encouraged that every one take Lysine supplements or eat foods with high levels of Lysine. Lysine is said to help canker sores, herpes, and shingles; it acts as a viral blocker. It has many other benefits including collagen formation in the joints, helps the immune system by aiding in the production of antibodies, and I heard somewhere that it is good for your skin.

There are some foods that are high in Lysine that you can eat if you prefer not to take pill. Yogurt, cheese, fruits, milk, meats, nuts, grains, and veggies are good sources of Lysine. It is a good supplement to add to your diet that has many positive benefits. Maybe you should give Lysine a try….

Bad news for the loose women and men out there…I just saw the news and they have come out with an at home paternity test. What a mess it is about to be sweeping the country. Just think, being able to secretly test your own kids at home. For the price of 200.00 (total) you can find if you are the daddy or who may be the daddy. With just a simple swab you can discover the truth in the privacy of your own home.

I knew they would be coming out with something like this soon. But I didn’t know it would be this quick. Rite Aid is selling the kits in 30 states right now. Man, there are about to be some sad/mad people out there. In this case, the truth may just end up hurting you!!!

Along with my newly found working out, I have decided to see what increasing my water intake will do. I also knew water was good for you, but until I decided to start drink more, I didn’t really know what all it was good for. Water helps the keep the skin radiant, removes toxins and impurities, and it will help you to feel full. Water suppresses the appetite naturally and helps the body to metabolize store fat. An increase in water can actually reduce fat deposits.

Many times I will forget to drink water during the day. If I get too busy with the kids or housework, I will never even think about it. So there are a few tips I do to try and remember to drink your water. I drink my water room temperature so I can drink more at time.I also place a jug with how much I want to drink for the day on a counter, I drink about a gallon a day. Using the jug, I can see how much I need to be drinking…and by the end of the day I can make sure I have drank it all. I always drink a glass of water when I first wake up in the morning, we are naturally thirsty when we awake so I make water the first thing I do in the morning. Another great tip is to keep a bottle of water with you all day and don’t just sip on it, when you take a drink gulp it down and refill the bottle. Sipping water will make you end up not drinking much water at all.

The amount of water needed differs from person to person, but a good place to start is the 8×8 rule; drink eight 8oz glasses of water a day. If you are overweight you need additional glass for every 25 lbs of excess weight. By drinking this amount you should start feeling better. So I will continue drinking my water and see what all benefits I get from it and I will post it here. So far, I have a lot more energy and I have been drinking for almost a week. I also heard that drinking water will help with bags and dark circles under your eye as well as assist in the minimization of wrinkles….pretty nice how much water does for you.

Today was a very very good day. I have officially started working out since having the baby, WHOO HOO!!!! Me and Hubby went on a run through a nature trail. It was, let’s just say difficult (I’ll keep the moans and cries to myself). It was an extreme nature trail, up hill and down and through rocky terrain. I plan, no I will make this a part of my work out routine. With this all I should have to do is some light exercising at home and stay away from the sweets and I will be good to go! I was only able to run, ummmm excuse me, walk/jog once around then rest and walk one more time. The hubby ran twice and walked both times with me, such a sweetie! Well my goal is to be able to RUN the whole thing within a month. So I have 4 weeks to train….I’ll keep making updates!!!!!!

I read the funniest story this morning. It was taken from Kauai, HI. Well if you have ever been to any of the islands of Hawaii, you know how nice and welcoming everyone there is. You get a whole feel of the laid backness that is so popular in Hawaii the minute you get off the plane. Well one guy took this a little too literal. He had a friend who was in the hospital in Kauai. To cheer the friend up, this guy decides to bring his horse to see him. The hospital has an open door policy when it comes to pets, they were trying to mean household pets….cats and dogs! So the guy brings the patient’s horse to see him. He and horse makes it to the third floor via elevator, where he is stopped by personnel and informed of their no horses allowed policy and quickly taken out of the hospital. He was dealt an even worse blow when the patient is brought down to see his horse and the patients states “that’s not my horse”! Sometimes even Good Samaritans need to read the small print……

How funny is that!!! The funniest things are done in everyday life…..

Ok, it’s Spring so Summer is almost here and I really want to look great this summer. I vow to work out and dress better every day. I have been lagging on both lately. With the birth of a new baby and a move to a very cold place, I just have not been in the mood. But now I am getting ready for another move, to a warmer climate, and many things are happening so I am going to do better.

I love the summer! I love riding in the car with the windows down and India Arie or another soulful artist on the radio. Feeling the wind and sun against my skin is amazing. Living up here where there is more winter than summer, really has made me appreciate summer and sunny days. Just to be able to take walks again….man I can’t wait!!!  I can finally pull out all my shades and get ready to go to the pool! Snow Cones here I come…..

What do you like to do in the summer?

Ways to catch him on your own.

After your suspicions are aroused, from the Is He Cheating post, now it’s time to get to work. You want the proof of exactly what he is doing and who he is doing it with. Here are a few helpful tips to help you on your “journey to truth”.

• Stay Alert and keep notes of anything you need to remember, like phone numbers, names, addresses…etc. You may start notice a pattern of his suspicious activities…write it down. Keep a secret journal filled with times and dates of his suspicious activities. If possible put it in code.
• Make sure you put things back the way you find them, don’t let him find out what you are up to. Don’t act suspicious, continue with your usual behavior. You don’t want him to think anything, otherwise he will become more cautious and sneaky. 
• Snoopbuddy.com is a good website to get someone else to verify where he will be or what he is doing. This is good to let someone he won’t recognize check up on him.
• E-stealth.com has an item called Blue Tooth Spy Software for your Mobile phone which is amazing. It allows you to View contacts list, read his text messages, view calls made/received, set his phone to call you whenever it makes or receives a call, view his photos, and allows you to make a call using his cellular number. It says it is untraceable.
• If you choose to go the route of following him, mark his car by breaking his tail light out. You can always find his car in traffic by the broken tail light.
• Try Googling any screen names he has used or is using. It may surprise you what you find. You can find comments he has left others and other email addresses he may have.
• Keep your emotions under wraps! I know you will be tempted to throw the evidence in his face or drop hints or make sarcastic remarks but hold off until you have enough evidence. Before you lose control you haven’t proved he’s done anything, yet.

Use all these things to build a case against him. One, where no matter what he says or does you know completely he is up to no good and there is nothing he can say to get out of it. You want all the evidence you can possibly get. But never let him know all the information you have.

Sooner or later you will have to make a decision….either you live with it or live with out him. Are you ready to face the consequences? Always put your safety first, never put yourself in any dangerous situations. Also, remember your self preservation, this could become a dangerous situation if not careful. Good Luck on your “Quest for the Truth”.
