For my short hair style, this tool is awesome. I can dry and style
my hair in one step. If I need to restyle it later in the day, I just comb out any hairspray, spray my hair with styling product and re-blow dry.With the negative ion generator, I have notice an
improvement in the health and appearance of my hair.
Diabetes Diagnosis
In April I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. To most
people this would be a negative, but it has been the kick in the butt I needed
to change my eating habits and become more consistent with exercise. I have
also begun to work on the emotional reasons that I overeat, which has been
difficult but rewarding. I have also lost about 25 pounds.
Scrap Gals podcast & YouTube
I know that YouTube has been around for a long time, but I
just discovered the great scrapbooking community that exists there. I used to
rely on inspiration from all the scrapbooking magazines that were published,
but through the years most have gone out of print. Then I would be able to find
inspiration from the new products for sale at the scrapbooking stores in my
area—but first Archivers went out of business and then this year my local
scrapbooking store, Memories and Beyond closed. I’m not sure how I discovered
the Scrap Gals, but listening to Tiffany and Tracie quickly lead me to YouTube
where I discovered many talented scrappers. Some of my favorites are InkieQuill, Amy Tangerine, Victoria Marie and the Crafty Maven Getaway. With all
this wonderful inspirations to turn to, I have completed over 230 layouts this
year—my personal best!
Orthotic inserts
Thanks to years in
retail, I have suffered with plantar fasciitis for quite some time. On
occasion, I will get a bad flair up which have lead me to get shoe inserts.
The first pair I had I seldom wore because of where they cut off in my shoe.
But this year I went to a different podiatrist that my sister recommended and
was fitted for a new pair. These were customized to my feet and I LOVE THEM! I
rarely have any foot pain even after 6-7 hours on my feet.
Map My Walk website
With my increased focus on health this year—and the decrease
of foot pain I was so happy to create a great walking route using the Map MyWalk website. My current route is 2.98 miles and I try to use it 3-4 times a
week. I started out walking only, but now I do somewhere between 5-7 jogging
intervals each time. This is training for a couple of 5K races I plan to
complete in 2016.
