What am I doing for my body?

Being outside on my deck soaking up the SUNSHINE!

Good for my soul too:)

Happy!

Is bigger better?

These 3 apples came from three different places.  The smallest is a grocery store bag of apples.  The second is a Costco apple and the largest is from Loblaws.  

I know you'd think the largest would be from Costco because everything is bigger there!

None of them are organic.

Did you know apples are part of the dirty dozen?  Meaning they contain the most pesticides:(

So I guess we should all be buying organic... Whether it is for less pesticides or no pesticides but also so there is no genetic mutations.  Have you seen the size of some of those grapes?

Just something to ponder...

So my budget is pretty tight.  I know myself when it comes to spending.  On a bad day I can have a "you only live once" attitude ... And away I go spending.  Usually purchasing things I do not really "need".

So I have learned a few things not to do that have helped me:

* I don't look at flyers unless there is something I need ~ & it is usually something for my home

*i try not to just wander through stores.  Only go if I need something

* I don't eat out ~ save it for a special occasion 

* use my PTs ~ Shoppers Optimum, PC PTs and Airmiles (you can now use them as cash for purchases where you collect them 95pts=$10)

Why not?

I have purple hair.

It isn't my entire head but a select few highlights and tips.  Thanks to my hair designer Manon.

Yes she bleached the pieces/parts first and then I have been maintaining the purple using Manic Panic.  I just retouched it last night and it looked a bit like the murder scene of Barney.  Hey I only had one glove so managing this way lead to a few spills and drips.  Thank goodness for bleach and yes my other hand by the end was purple:p

See it is subtle.  Some see it, some say it is blue and some might even ignore it:0)

Why do I do it? Why not!  It doesn't hurt anyone!

And it can always be changed back:) or a new colour introduced once the purple fades away.  Hmmmmm a whole rainbow to choose from and summer is coming...

To paint to paint...or just hire someone else to?

Debating painting my railings...

I plan to do the spindles white and the railing black, a dark high gloss super shiny black...

Most likely a summer project:)

But as for my nouveau boudoir, there is a Groupon coupon (quepon:) $69 and they will paint it for me... It is a big room with cathedral ceilings...I would have to get an extension ladder... Come home and it would be done in a day... Hopefully they would do my two colours... Am I answering my own question?  Should I get the Groupon? Yes:)

Merci

Today I am grateful for all my birthday wishes and getting to celebrate with the people that matter the most to me.

I am also thankful for moments that thicken my skin.  Even at 41 I am oh so innocent;)

Thx to the beautiful girl who sang to me on my birthday!

Thank you to Aquasport for helping me find my bathing suit/race bikini for my triathlon(& this summer).  You know for me I gotta look good to do good!  Nothing like going bathing suit shopping to inspire you to go to the gym and that is exactly what I did!!! Hahaha

Oh thx to my POF trainer for guiding me through that crazy site!!!! Another hahaha!
