Today, as I was reading all the Facebook sites I try to read every day, I ran across this promotion. I love candles and that was why I read the promo and watched the video about the woman who got the candle and found a ring that was worth $10,000! The company is giving away hundreds of rings but not all $10,000 ones. LOL! Many of them are worth much less but even the gemstone rings are beautiful. Plus...there is a code inside the foil that you register for a chance to win a second ring that IS worth $10,000. How cool is that?
If you are curious about the promotion, here's the link: http://greatgiftforher.com/ I wish you all bundles of luck. I would love to order more candles since all mine are now pffft! But....today we spent waaaaaay too much money for a Nutribullet and also bought a lot of fruits and veggies to help us healthwise. It's a fantastic product (you can look it up on it's website and watch the video). I have seen it advertised on TV and wondered why the Beast hadn't bought that instead of the juicer he did. It wastes the fiber and therefore most of the true value of any fruits and veggies. We read the comments and decided to dig into what little savings we had left (we have a large bill to pay the first of the month so it was necessary). It came with a hard cover book and many comments from people who are currently using it. It tells of their results and some are really amazing (and encouraging). We know our diet sucks so we hope this helps our general health.
It also tells about some additional ingredients we may want to add to our juice. Two of them I was already familiar with and knew their value. We checked on Amazon and found out that Amazon DOES carry all four. As I read through the book and some of the recipes, I told the Beast we would have to adjust our buying habits and buy more veggies to add to the juices. There's quite a variety and some would probably be healthier than a regular meal. We are going to give it a try and see how we feel after a couple weeks.
What's funny is the first juice we made was made with celery, two apples, an orange, six cherries, 8 baby carrots and a peach. The peach and cherries were pitted before being put into the container but they said don't do it to the apples or orange. You add some water and blend. It was amazing how good it was. I wish you could have seen the Beast's face when I said * Wow! This would be great with some vodka!* I wasn't kidding but I laughed and said I was so he would lighten up. But I think I am going to tell sister Cee to buy some fruits and veggies and bring an empty juice container or two and let us make her up some healthy juice that will be different and more beneficial for her. It's full of fiber, which aids digestion and has all those good antioxidents and minerals that most of our diets lack.
Anyway, THAT is why I can't order any candles. We are really and truly broke now until we collect our SS checks next month. By then, the candle company will probably be out of the candles with rings anyway. I wish you all fantastic luck if you decide to get some. I would have them burning all over the house if the Beast wouldn't freak out....LOL. But I can have them in my computer room where I spend most of my time anyway. I can't yell at the Beast this time for buying the NutriBullet, either. He asked me first and then we had to check out our finances to see if we could manage it. We bought it at Walmart and saved $30 from the online price. That was a little help at least. I will not forget to tell you if it helps out.
Hot, hot, hot expected but we didn't get the thunderstorms today that were predicted. Those will more than likely hit us either late tonight or early tomorrow from what the radar shows. *Sigh* I DO prefer they hit in daylight but would rather do without them anyway.
The Beast has finally...FINALLY....started actually planning on the deck extension that we both wanted a couple years back. It will extend an additional two feet out from the house and about four feet longer than the current deck. It may be more but only the solar panels would mess up the extension. However, I think they start where the fence is attached to the house so it shouldn't matter if the Beast goes a bit more than four feet. The footers will be the biggest problem but he will have Dennis help with that. Dennis owns his own cement mixer (one of those small ones) that he has been dying to use again since he poured his own patio. I know how OCD he can be about any project he is involved with so that makes me feel that it will be done right. The Beast is drawing out the plans as soon as he can make all the measurements he needs. He says he will do that this weekend and then get together with Dennis to plan out how the footings will need to be done. Hurrah! Hurrah!
Love you all. I hope your week has been going well. Say a little prayer for the people in Texas that got 8 inches of rain in just 3 hours! I don't care what kind of soil you have, that amount of rain in so short a time period is not going to be without some BIG problems. I'm sure the flooding is severe. Be good. Be careful. ***Hugs***
HINT: To remove wax, help prevent (or get rid of) infections, mites and bacteria from your dogs ears, mix 50% white vinegar with 50% warm (not hot) water and pour in your dogs ears before bathing him/her. The vinegar does NOT get rid of infections by itself but it helps speed up the cure along with anything the vet has prescribed. You can do this once a week for dogs with long ears since mites, bacteria and infections seem to thrive in their ears. This hint is NOT from my book but from a website about animal care. Our dog often gets mites in his ears and his ears are NOT long but tall and erect. He IS a doberman after all. LOL.
