Huh – I was just doing a search for under eye creams and I came across phisoderm moisturizer. I didn’t know they made a moisturizer.
When I was a teen there was a skin cleanser that came in a big bottle with a pump on it. I’m sure it was called Phisoderm.
Anyway I’m still on the hunt for good moisturizers. I have sensitive skin and often flare up with allergies so I need a moisturizer that doesn’t irritate my skin. Any ideas?
We’ve been living in our house for 9 years now – 10 in June. Can you believe we still have some unfinished renovations? Ones that were started oh … maybe 6 years ago! Yeah, it’s true.
Anyway … in the areas that aren’t under an almost permanent state of renovation or stalled renovation I’m starting to get a little tired of the decor. I’ve been thinking of getting some new window treatments or perhaps even blinds for the windows in the upstairs bedrooms.
I think that will freshen the look of the room. Perhaps new bed spreads as well to give the rooms a new look. It’s really amazing what just changing the window treatments and bedding can do for a room.
I think I’ll start looking through catalogs and online stores to see if I can find anything I like.
Do you ever get tired of the look of a room? What small inexpensive changes have you tried?
It seems every time I go into a drug store or a general sales type store they have tons of weight loss products at the end of the aisles and right at eye level in various places.
Even the magazines I like to read seem to have more advertisements for these types of products than they used too. It must be a good business to be in … especially in North America where they say a high percentage of people are morbidly obese.
Have you noticed an increase in these products in your favorite stores and in ads in magazines too?
My husband and I haven’t been on a true vacation in years. It always seems that whenever we get a chance to go away we end up going someplace where we have relatives and end up staying in there home.
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t mind visiting with relatives – especially ones I don’t see often and staying in their home certainly cuts down on expenses … but I’m starting to long for a real vacation. Maybe in the spring we’ll try out one of those Outer Banks vacation rentals or even just go away to Niagara falls for a long weekend.
Do you take regular vacations? If you do – are they always to someplace where you stay in a hotel or are you like us and you end up staying with relatives or friends while on holiday?
We are the proud new owners of an HDTV. Our first Plasma! We got it on Saturday after a three week wait for the back ordered TV and we’ve been watching just about everything we can ever since!
Any other Plasma owners out there? A few people tried to discourage us from getting a plasma because they tend to work best in dark rooms, but the one we got (a Samsung PN50B850) has quite a bright picture and the room we put it in, our living room, is on the North side of the house so it’s never very bright.
We love it so far.
What I didn’t love was the wait at the store when we went to pick up the new TV. My husbands cousin kindly met us at the store with his SUV so he could help us get our new TV home and once we got in the store we had to wait for the salesman that we’d been dealing with for about an hour. Sure, I could have been served by someone else, but he’d redone our bill so our warranty would start on the day we picked up the TV rather than when we’d paid for it three weeks before and there was a mistake on the bill so I had to talk to him.
While we were waiting I had to use the washroom at the store. That’s one thing I dislike doing … using public washrooms. I don’t know why … well … ok, the fact that most of them are dirty and smelly is probably the main reason. Oh and I hate using the type of hand dryers where you have to push the button to start it. I’d rather use the ones that just start automatically. With the push button ones I kind of feel like i have to wash my hands again or use Purell to clean them.
Hey I’m a nurse and I know how many germs are out there sitting on things!
So – do you cringe when you have to use a public washroom too or am I just a little too much of a germaphobe?
