I would guess most of us (including yours truly) don’t look this good cleaning house. If you do…hats off!
But you can! Spring cleaning may seem like a total drag, but serious scrubbing can burn some serious calories. Shape up while you clean up! So, just how many calories can you burn while cleaning? For every 30 minutes, you can burn 77 calories ironing, 148 calories mowing the lawn (with a push mower), 85 calories dusting, and 77 calories burning dishes. So bust out your dust rag and clean your way to a slimmer, sexier you.
I am completely disgusted right now. I’ve just seen some pictures of women who have had some ribs surgically removed in order to get freakishly smaller waists. Girls! It’s not worth it! You don’t look normal!
You know how you get itchy when people talk about bugs? Well, I am kind of getting the same feeling right now. When I look at these pictures, I just want to grab onto my ribs because they start to ache.
I would so rather have a huge waist than look like this!

I wonder if she can walk normally? Breathe OK? Twist her torso? Bend side to side without snapping something? Do sit-ups? Doesn’t it just look painful!?

Am I the only one with an exceptionally low tolerance for crappy on hold music?
Seriously! No wonder customer service reps have to deal with so many irritated and downright pissed of customers. Because they were just subjected to some of the most boring, mind-numbing, and downright obnoxious on hold crap. You’d think some of these bigger corporations would come up with the brilliant idea to invest in some effective, interesting {gasp!} on hold music (or a message, I guess) to take advantage of the poor customers they have on the line?
Have I recently had an experience being on hold? Funny you ask. A certain retail giant (who shall remain unnamed because I refuse to let my bad experience poison others and keep them from experiencing what has been an otherwise pleasant place to do business) had the most awful “trendy” perhaps? music playing. What’s worse is it sounded like they had hooked up to an FM station broadcasting from the middle of nowhere…filled with lots of static and “noise.” Who knew what the music really was!
So if you’ll remember, awhile ago I had mentioned possibly using a dropship company to begin an online retail store. Turns out, my trendy, always-immaculate, so gorgeous you almost hate her neighbor in my apartment complex apparently has being using one for a few years to sell designer handbags online. Who knew? She works full-time for a marketing agency and the online handbag shop is something she does on the side. She sells a number of designers, including Coach which she said is her best-selling brand. Making good money on the side selling fabulous designer bags? How jealous was I?
Speaking of purses….I have my eye on this beaut…I’m hoping she’ll get one in and sell it for less than the $748 hefty price tag (wishful thinking, I know).
Burt’s Bees chapstick is hands-down the best chapstick on the market. And for only $3, soft, smooth, and healthy lips can be all yours. If you haven’t tried it already, you’re missing out on some amazing peppermint tingly action. Buy Burts here.
Tip: Use under lipstick and gloss for smooth lips.
As mentioned before, I began taking the Akavar 20/50 weight loss supplement as one of my new years resolutions. This past week I have been taking it in conjunction with my daily jogging and new sugar-reduced, low-fat eating habits in hopes of shedding a few pounds. So far, I have lost two pounds (it’s only been a week, people!) and I swear I am eating less (no easy feat for the girl who eats like a horse).
However, I have a girlfriend who insisted on using Alli, the first FDA approved over-the-counter weight loss pill. Unfortunately, I don’t think she read the label very thoroughly and experienced by far one of the most embarrassing and horrifying moments I have ever heard. Before I tell you what happened, let me give you a little background on Alli.
The pill is designed to block body fat, which is supposed to pass through your body. Thus, the makers of Alli suggest users wear dark pants or bring a change of clothes when they leave the house until they get used to the pill’s plausible (and disgusting) side effects. In other words, stray too far from a low-fat, very healthy diet and you’ll probably poop your pants - no joke! In fact, the official Alli website warns users of these possible side effects:
gas with oily spotting
loose stools
more frequent stools that may be hard to control
I’ll spare you the grisly details of my friend’s humiliating experience, but I will say it involved one of the previously mentioned “side effects,” a silk dress, and one damn sexy date who will never call her back.
Personally, I would rather try something that helps stave off hunger rather than something that makes me mess my drawers! But I’m curious…would you take a weight loss supplement with such awful side effects if it meant shedding some weight?
With the constant threat of computer viruses, accidental deletion, and file corruption on PCs, remote online backup is a must! For all you savvy computer ladies, hopefully you already have a computer backup and recovery plan in place; if you don’t, now is the time to get one. Ask anyone who has important data or documents due to a computer failure, damage, or even theft.
Recently, I had a good friend whose laptop was stolen, which had all her digital photos, MP3 music files, and term papers. Needless to say, she is having a hard time recovering from it, not only because she lost all her important school work, but because years of priceless photographs and memories were lost.
Don’t let this be you! Take the necessary steps to protect yourselves, ladies!
