I wasn’t really aware how important progesterone is to a woman’s body, regardless of age, meaning pre- or post-menopausal.

Apparently, low progesterone levels lead to estrogen dominance, PMS, lowered libido, early onset of menopause, weight gain, and increased risk of endometrial cancer, just to name a few.

They make a synthetic, but bio-identical version of progesterone dubbed “progestin”. However, it does not provide the same protection against estrogen dominance. Progesterone balances estrogen levels.

“Estrogen dominance and progesterone deficiency is epidemic among women in industrialized countries.” (http://www.ultrapms.com/progesterone.html, 2005)

Estrogen “maintains the growth and function of the uterus so that the sex organs can become adult sized, and prepares the uterine lining to accept an egg.  Additionally, estrogen affects skeletal growth, skin, fat and protein deposition, and electrolyte balance”. (http://www.energeticnutrition.com/vitalzym/estrogen_dominance.html, 2008)

Whoa! For me not really hearing a lot about progesterone, it certainly sounds important…Important enough for all women to know about!

There are days where I just CANNOT take one more pop, rock, hip hop, rap or alternative song on the radio!

On those days, I just need to de-stress with some pleasant sounds of classical music by the renowned composers, like Mozart or Beethoven.

Actually, there are still a number of radio stations, if you flip around the dial, that play classical music today!

My very favorite piece is Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. My favorite season is Spring! Just beautiful.

You can really feel the seasons, the birds flying, the bees buzzing, the flowers growing in the music. Summer, Autumn and Winter are just as expressive.

It’s like cleansing your mind when you listen.

Funny Story:
When my husband and I first drove our new car off the lot, as we turned the corner into the street, we turned on the radio.

What came on the radio? Some Continue Reading…

Accidents and illnesses happen when you least expect it!

The thing is, if you think you’ll just get life insurance when you need it, you won’t know when that day will be.

If you’re not already prepared and enrolled in a term life insurance plan prior to getting sick, then you may not even qualify or be accepted.

If you don’t know, most programs will do a mouth swab and possibly a physical and blood work to be sure you’re good and healthy before they will begin your policy.

You ought to shop around for term life insurance quote, at a number of different companies, to get the best policy with the best coverage, and that makes the most sense for you!

So, be prepared, and be sure to provide for your family in case something, heaven forbid, were ever to happen to you!

I got that sad news last night, while I was shopping there for my mother.

Apparently, the United States chain is going “under”, and since Canada’s stores get all of their product from the United States company, our Linens N’ Things are closing as well.

Right now, everything is 10% off, but as the weeks go on, it will drastically drop, just so you know.

I asked how long they have. The cashier said that she’s not positive, but the time line employees were given is between Continue Reading…

If this is the case, I’m sure you may have considered purchasing one of those replica watches.

Then, all at once, you probably get pictures in your head of people in New York City with fake watches attached to the insides of their coats to show you. They probably say “Polex” or “Bolex” on them…LOL…

You see the fake Bvlgari watches that say Bulgari…LOL…

The thing is, there are a number of alternatives that are very similar, if not perfect looking to the original brand name designs, with all of the “fixins”, such as being waterproof and having identical bezels.

For instance, check out this option from BlueFakes.com:

Just be sure to do your homework, get the closest replica you can find, and wear that sucker with confidence, as though it really was the real thing…In fact, you should try to forget it’s not real…LOL…

That way, you can have quite a few good replicas for way less than the price of one real designer watch.

I just bought the coolest alarm clock tonight at a local wholesale store.
It’s an alarm clock with time projection, meaning you can aim a laser clock reading onto your wall or ceiling, and you can just look up at night, instead of at your alarm clock, or whatever…I love that!

Not only that, it wakes you up with either the alarm, radio or 6 digitally recorded sounds of nature: Ocean, Waterfall, Summer Continue Reading…

Last week, I went to the dentist for my 6 month check-up.

I know the idea of going to the dentist can be a VERY scary thing for many people out there…

…But those are precisely the folks who really need to get in to see a dentist, not only for any necessary work, but at least for a good cleaning.

There’s nothing like having freshly cleaned teeth after a hygienist appointment! You can feel the difference!

I “stumbled upon” a neat Washington DC dentist online that not only offers a free consultation, but gives financing options too.

The BIGGEST plus I noticed? Well, that they will offer a safe, gentle and pain-free treatment plan!

Now, there’s nothing to stop you! Get in there and get your dental work done! Everyone wants to see your smile!

I hope you use this Great Find on Blog N’ Butter, if you’re in the Washington area! Until next time…

This is Outrageous!!!

Yesterday, my mother told me she saw a television program just the other day that claimed over the last 2 months, there have been over 700 pedophiles arrested off of MySpace!

Are you kidding me? That is way out there!

Parents, PLEASE monitor EVERY website your children go on or are frequenting…You HAVE to!

If you want to start off on a new leaf with your body and start living a healthier life, then my suggestion is to begin by detoxing.

Almost everything we eat, drink, touch or breath is full of chemicals and toxins, or ingredients that facilitate the creation of toxins in your body.

You have to start by getting rid of these harmful and disease causing chemicals from your body…Which means, you’ll be cleansing and detoxing.

You’ll be eating and drinking foods that are healthy, full of nutrients and aid in cleaning out the body and replenishing the things you are missing.

I “stumbled upon” a site that specializes in this type of starting stepping stone…orovo detox

They have other products too that help people be fit and healthy too, but it seems to me a large part of what they believe is necessary is detox.

They have a lot of products I’d like to try!!! I love feeling healthy and knowing that I’m getting healthier every day!

Tick, Tock…Tick, Tock…

I just don’t know what it is…I do not want to go to bed at night.

No, no…Not because I’m sitting up worrying about the economy.

No, no…Definitely not because I’m snacking or watching TV.

Instead, I stay up late, after everyone else has gone to sleep in the house and write, write, write.

Not a day goes by where I don’t thank God for warm water and soap…

Furthermore, what is it that makes a great shower?

Well, great water pressure and how well it comes out of the shower head, right?

I just love fabulous shower faucets…That really makes your shower time more enjoyable.

I “stumbled upon” the perfect website for faucet enthusiasts like me…LOL…

I especially like the ones that are large like a dinner plate that make it feel like a deluge of rain coming down on you! Love that!

Anyway, the site has some really neat faucets, all the way from contemporary and modern to Victorian and transitional…And of course, I don’t bring you too many things that aren’t an amazing price…

Get a lot of faucet for your buck!

Guess what…If you’re not enjoying your shower, you should be. So, do something about it!

News Update:

I regret to inform you all that Jennifer Hudson’s 7 year old nephew, Julian King, was found shot to death in the back seat of the abandoned SUV described in the Amber Alert on Monday, shortly after 7:00 am.

The vehicle was approximately 10 miles from their home.

It is so sad that Jennifer Hudson, among six other family members, had to help identify the body of her lifeless nephew, and that this death adds to the murder roll of the assailant.

What a tragedy for the Hudson family to have to endure…

Chicago police say that the motive is Continue Reading…

Are You a Fantasy Football Freak?

My husband is…And I am sooo excited that I get to share this new find I just “stumbled” with him! He’s going to LOVE this place!

It is WaiverWire Beta, and it’s a social network for fantasy football players!

Not only can you find statistical analysis on all the games and players, but you can learn and share new tips and advice on great picks and “no-gos” for the weeks to come from fantasy football players across all leagues everywhere!

How Cool is That?

You wanna know what else?
They have Game Day Stats & Scores in Real Time! That’s right!

That means immediate bragging rights all around, when you’re doing well, but when you’re not…watch out…LOL…You’re now connected with fantasy football lovers everywhere!

I love the streaming updates…Oh yeah, Indianapolis played tonight (It’s Monday Night Football baby!).

Why Is That So Great?
…Because my mom was watching the big screen TV tonight and doesn’t appreciate football like we do! So, while working online, I could just go to WaiverWire.com and get the info I wanted!

What I thought was super cool is their Inaugural Season Packages! Be sure to check out “The War Room”…If you sign up for that package when it becomes available, you can even get paid for your advice to others on picks! That is waaaayyyy too cool!

If you are a Fantasy Footballer yourself, you’ve got to check out this neat site! I think it’s great!

I hope at some point they add a way to see all of the available and popular fantasy football leagues and a way to sign up for them from this site. That would be a time saver and people could give their reviews, both rants and raves, of different leagues, so people don’t waste their time with leagues that aren’t worth participating in…

It seems as though last year, Ian Johnson was a name in every household that loves football.

Why?
Well, he’s a running back for Boise State University, and last year, he scored the winning 2 point conversion on a Statue of Liberty play to clinch the Broncos’ stunning 43-42 Fiesta Bowl overtime victory over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl.

Not only that, he ran for 101 yards with a TD against those Sooners.

Whilst he was being interviewed post game, he got down on one knee and proposed to his cheerleader girlfriend, Chrissy Popadics, and she said “YES!”.

Okay, now that you’re filled in…What’s happened since then?
Huge fame followed for Ian with numerous interviews on television and radio alike, not to mention that him and Chrissy were married that same summer in Boise.

Now a senior, apparently, Ian will not be the star attraction, but being the team player he is, he is simply happy to be there and represent the university with a team of great guys!

What’s strange about this is that he was the leader in scoring and 2nd for rushing in 2006, but hasn’t even run for 100 yds this year, or even carried the ball 20 times in a game yet.

What’s more, is that he hasn’t even hit the end zone once in the past 3 games, but leads all active players with 49 career TDs. Whoa!

He even finished 8th for the Heisman trophy in 2006.

Why Has This Happened?
Well, not only did the Broncos lose Continue Reading…

Airport personnel are NOT careful with your luggage.

It seems that EVERY time I check my bags, when I receive them off the plane, they are so much worse for the wear!

It is really annoying…I bought new luggage since the straps and zippers on my old bags were damaged, not to mention the wheels and the retractable handle on my large rolling suitcase. Unbelievable!

…And I’m not even telling you about the terrible scrapes, scuffs and stains.

When you purchase new luggage, be sure it’s of good quality, durable material. A name brand like Samsonite or Delsey luggage is a great direction to start in. I’ve heard they clean up well and hold up even better than most brands…

I’m especially partial to the hard-sided luggage. It seems to be lightweight, durable and easier to clean off.

Most of all, don’t ever “fall in love” with your bags…You’ll just be disappointed when your beautiful set of turquoise luggage comes out striped like a zebra with grease!
