International Customers

Lately I have been getting a lot of International customers. This is great, I like that my website is being seen all over the world! How cool is that!?? I welcome all customers. However, I don't offer free shipping overseas or to Canada. I am sad that I can't, but I really eat into any profits by offering free shipping to U.S., and I would lose money if I did offer free shipping Internationally. I try to keep my prices low, but the cost of making higher quality foot pads is not cheap. I get mine made at a quantity of 100,000 at a time, and do that about twice a year. My foot pads are always fresh, never stored in a warehouse, and made to my specifications with each order. I also make sure the factory is audited and registered with the US FDA.  So, I can't jeopardize the quality of my foot pads just for a better price.

That being said, I welcome orders from everywhere -- I just apologize about the high shipping costs. It is outrageous that a 1-lb package costs $30 to ship to the UK! I do have to say that if you buy a larger quantity, and we can get it into a flat rate box, it is cheaper per pad, and then it tends to be more reasonable in cost. It is never going to be cost effective to order a 10-pack of foot pads and have me ship it to Australia.

Just email me first before placing an order. Sometimes some international customers place an order on my current checkout page, but it doesn't allow for any address outside the U.S. and messes up the "behind the scenes" system. Thank you!

I am now married

Social Security Administration - press 1 fo rEnglish

So here is my pet peeve for today. I am being faced with a lot of paperwork due to the name change ( I LOVE being married!) Anyway, I call the Social Security office at 1-800-772-1213 and had to press 1 for English!! NO WAY!!! This is a GOVERNMENT AGENCY!! An AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AGENCY!!! Call the number and see for yourself.  I am flabbergasted. I mean TRULY shocked. Comcast, well, I can see them doing that because they are a dumb, non-customer service oriented company (no matter what they say). But our own Government doing this to us?

And, in order to change my name on my card I will have to go all the way to the office in downtown Minneapolis. Bleh. I hate that!

more "things" in my life. I am so blessed... and busy!!!

I did not sleep much last night. Too many things on my mind, I guess. I really love the days / weekends where I have nothing planned, and when that occurs, I don't even do my regular cleaning, I am just lazy the whole day. Very unproductive, I know, but very rejuvenating. I can't remember the last time that occurred, though!!! And I can't remember the last time I wasn't just utterly exhausted!

3 days before my wedding. I am one lucky lady. Very much in love with my man. Very happy my family will be here, and that my brothers who cannot make it because of the distance, will be able to be Skyped into the reception so they can view it real time. I feel very special that my family wants to drive/fly/travel all the way to Minnesota from the nether ends of the earth, just to be with me on my wedding day. Something I am not used to, but I like it, and can definitely get used to being pampered and spoiled! The ladies at church have done that to me as well. And my close friends.

I got my hair cut last night at Inner Sanctum Salon and Spa in Andover, MN. I didn't melt away for stepping into a salon. Instead, I felt pampered. I got my hair washed, and cut and styled.

I had a promotion for my foot pads that started on Saturday, and have been getting TONS of orders -- offering the promotion as a special for my wedding, and also to help people with their spring cleaning on their bodies!! So that also is keeping me busy. And also started a Google Adwords campaign for our Christian T Shirt business, Faith Hope Charitees.

So, that is what has been going on in my life. I see my surgeon this afternoon to go over my final post op condition for my shoulders. I asked if I can get a cortisone shot in my left hip but may not be able to get that done, because of time constraints on the appointment, and also because my surgeon has never seen me for my hip before. That was my rheumatologist. I have not been doing good regarding my physical therapy this past week and I am ashamed of myself!

Tomorrow I see my chiropractor in New Brighton, who does S.O.T. chiropractic, which is the best I have ever experienced. I can't wait for that! It has been about 3 weeks since I saw him last and I surely need it...

Well, have a fantastic day everyone, I am off to work!

All sorts of wandering thoughts, but mostly decisions to make

So here I am, 6 days before my wedding, and every day I am falling in love with Steve more and more. We have had our challenges during our 10- year courtship, and huge fights, and mountains to scale and canyons to cross. Oh, and raging rivers to swim... There were times when I was ready to give up, and I am sure many times he was ready to give up on me as well. But I am sure thankful we didn't give up. He brings so much to my life, and because he is part of it, it makes me not just WANT to be a better person, but actually makes me TRY to be a better person.

And, there are going to be tough decisions to make for me, soon. I need to gear up my strength to be able to handle them, and choose what is best for me. I will be doing a LOT of praying for the right answers!

And, since March 5th, I have lost at least 15 lbs. And, a few inches off my waist and other areas. YAY! So that is 21 days to lose 15 lbs. I haven't been super hungry during the diet, but I have had super cravings which I really hate. Tonight I am going out to dinner at El Loros, and will just eat a la carte, (enchiladas or a grande burrito, my faves!) And since my diet is officially over, I can eat carbs / grains again but I will just be careful about the sugars and refined starches... otherwise, I can have at it!! I am sure my dress will fit me just fine.

I can't wait for my massage coming up. I really need it. And, my chiro appointment because I have a rib out and the pain is emanating all around my side and it hurts to breathe. And laying down (which usually makes back pain subside) doesn't make this pain go away.

And, I have to make a decision by Monday on whether or not to cancel my follow up appointment with my surgeon, just checking in to see how my arms/shoulders are doing. I have been in pain, but also have only been doing the bare minimum of physical therapy and stretches, so it kinda serves me right. She will most likely tell me to go see my physical therapist again, and each appointment will cost me $100. Oh well. We will see.

9 days before my wedding

I am sure many brides have a whole range of emotions a mere 9 days before the wedding. I wonder if some of those thoughts are of the groom, wondering if he is going to get cold feet? Or if all the logistics are going to run smoothly, or about their bridesmaids and groomsmen and wonder if they will do their "jobs" -- who knows. I know that the following things are going through my mind:

1. Whether my family will make it safely here. They will be driving (most of them, my sisters will be flying, but my brothers and parents will be driving from Utah to Minnesota!). My brothers plan on driving straight through, taking turns at the wheel. Of course that gives me a sense of anxiety. My parents are making it a 2-day trip. It is 20 hours one way. I think they plan on driving 12 or 13 hours the first day.

2. Will I be able to be a good host for my family? Will I have enough food, blankets, beds, pillows, hot water, etc. for them? (Seriously, this is a concern for me!)

3. How will my dogs and cat react to having a newborn baby around? My cat should be fine, as she has been around babies before, but my dogs might want to "play" and their type of play (as boxers) is a bit rougher than say, the play of a shitzu. Where will my dogs sleep when Steve and I are at the hotel on our wedding night? (yes, this is another worry for me).

4. Will we get enough sleep, to be well rested? I suppose melatonin will be in order for this issue...

5. Will the snow be gone? Please, say yes!!! And sunny, blue skies, pretty please!

6. Then the worries start to fall onto the more materialistic things... like can I lose a few more pounds before the big day? will my hair turn out alright? will I get pimples from stress? What if the cake falls, what if my dog eats the flowers, what if, what if....

The one thing I am sure about is being married to Steve. And since it is only my family and his family that will be there, I suppose if things don't go perfectly, that is ok. Every family is dysfunctional, right? So having a dysfunctional wedding might just be perfect.

But I still don't see how other women can primp all the time... always getting nails done or hair done, doing facial treatments and whitening teeth. Man, it takes a LOT of time!!! I am so glad I am not high maintenance.

Body Wrap - second review

After trying the It works! Body wrap last week and not getting any results, I tried the Luca Lean body wrap (bought 2 jars on eBay) last night. Steve laughed at me as he was wrapping me in plastic wrap :) I lost about 2 inches (off my thighs and hips). I am going to try it again tomorrow, to see if I get more inches to disappear. It is actually a LOT more comfortable than I thought it would be. And, I want to target more of my waist area. I will report back once I have tried it a few times. So far, I am pleased. The areas of my body that have the most "fatty tissue" are my upper thighs and butt, so I did see results there...

It is also a lot cheaper than the ItWorks! Body wrap, at only about $20 for a jar of the cream... and I am guessing you can do about 3+ body wraps per jar (plus the cost of the saran wrap)... way better than the price for the ItWorks! Body wraps, which targets only one area at a time, not your whole body. So far, I would choose Luca Lean body wrap formula over the other.

What is Radioactive Fallout?

Lots of panic going on - even halfway across the world from Japan -- about nuclear meltdowns, etc. So... what exactly is a radioactive fallout? This is an interesting excerpt from a website (http://www.ki4u.com/guide.htm) I found online a while back, and thought it might prove helpful to you:

Radioactive fallout is the particulate matter (dust) produced by a nuclear explosion and carried high up into the air by the mushroom cloud. It drifts on the wind and most of it settles back to earth downwind of the explosion. The heaviest, most dangerous, and most noticeable fallout, will 'fall out' first closer to ground zero. It may begin arriving minutes after an explosion. The smaller and lighter dust-like particles will typically be arriving hours later, as they drift much farther downwind, often for hundreds of miles. Once it arrives, whether visible or not, all that will fall will have done so usually in under an hour, then blow around everywhere just like dust does on the ground and roofs. However, rain can concentrate the fallout into localized 'hot spots' of much more intense radiation with no visible indication.



This radioactive fallout 'dust' is dangerous because it is emitting penetrating radiation energy (similar to x-ray's). This radiation (not the fallout dust) can go right through walls, roofs and protective clothing. Even if you manage not to inhale or ingest the dust, and keep it off your skin, hair, and clothes, and even if none gets inside your house, the radiation penetrating your home is still extremely dangerous, and can injure or kill you inside.



Radioactive fallout from a nuclear explosion, though very dangerous initially, loses its intensity quickly because it is giving off so much energy. For example, fallout emitting gamma ray radiation at a rate over 500 R/hr (fatal with one hour of exposure) shortly after an explosion, weakens to only 1/10th as strong 7 hours later. Two days later, it's only 1/100th as strong, or as deadly, as it was initially.

The NookColor - a review of my first 2 weeks of having one!

So, my beloved got me an early birthday present (6 weeks early). I knew I wanted the Nook and when eBay had the $50 coupon 2 weeks ago, at the Barnes and Noble eBay store, it was totally worth it, for $199. (Our complete total came out to be about $216).  Then, I purchased a case, screen protector and cover on eBay for about $20 (lavender with butterflies and sparklies, of course!!)

Why did I choose the Nook Color when there are a lot of other eReaders out there?

1) Compatible with the library system - I have a library card for the 2 largest county library systems in Minnesota, giving me access to THOUSANDS of free books to read);

2) It was touch screen, and a color screen (sure, the iPad is, too, right? Well, this is a fraction of the cost and runs on Droid... you can hack it so that you can use any Droid app you want, and I am not an Apple user), also the LCD screen may give me eye fatigue, but it hasn't yet, I am very used to staring at a screen for hours at a time... but then again, I have only read about 4 books on it in the past 2 weeks).

3) The other "extras" on the NookColor just rock. Sudoku... LOVE IT! File system for my  music, pictures, and even video, woohoo! I love the Wi-Fi (It doesn't have 3G like the regular Nook does, and like Amazon's kindle does, but that is ok).

I do have to mention that learning the library system to check out free books had a huge learning curve that was a bit difficult because I didn't understand it. I at first tried to install applications directly onto my nook (like adobe digital editions). You don't do that. You install it onto your PC. Get set up with an adobe account, link it to your digital library account, check out books through the adobe digital editions, then, plug your nookcolor into your PC through the USB port, and drag and drop your library books onto your nookColor.

So, I have 4 books waiting to be read on my Nook Color... from the library (not to mention dozens of free books I downloaded from the NookStore). That is my max per library... and I have about 6 more waiting to be ready for download. The only books I have purchased so far was the Scriptures (Bible, Book of Mormon, etc) and that was $2.99 -- pretty cool!

The charge (battery life) I have heard is not even close to that of the regular nook or the kindle. But so far it hasn't caused me trouble. I let it charge at night every couple of days. No problemo.

Overall, I am ecstatic with it. I LOVE it!!!

It Works! Body Wrap Review

I tried a body wrap from the MLM company, called It Works! Body Wrap. I of course want to be super slender for my wedding in 16 days... and if I can shed a few more inches before then, GREAT! I am also tanning, and did a 10-session package at a place called TOTALLY TAN, which has locations all over the northwest metro area. Since there is one near my work, it is convenient. Albeit, they are a little pushy. A 10-session tanning package is really only 10 points, and the low level beds are 1-point each, and they go up to 6 points each. So my "10 package" really may only be 2 tans... but I am using the low level beds. Going twice a week. (i am not a proponent of tanning but it is winter still here in MN for another week, hehe, snow still on the ground, and I am wearing a white wedding dress, and have light blond hair. I need some color.... I prefer real sunshine vs. fake bakes, but well, we do what we have to do !).

So, at this tanning salon, they sell the It Works! Body Wraps. All the girls that work there look 21, wear heavy makeup, have cute hair and are super skinny. The manager told me that she lost an inch in just 45 minutes wearing the wrap and she said she thought she didn't have that to lose (she was a stick as it was!) So I spent $25 and tried one.

I took a sauna, opening up the pores and cleansing the skin on my body. Then took a shower. Dried off... and then put the wrap on. I had it on for 2 hours last night. Measured before and after. Didn't lose an inch or even a fraction of an inch. I did it correct, as I watched the video and did what they told me to do.

It was very cold feeling... tingling... like ben gay with the potent herbal smell, but instead of heat, it gave off cold. This morning when I checked the inches, I did lose about 2-4 inches (we are supposed to measure in 3 places and add them up). But every morning I am thinner than I was at night. This is because (I think) last night I drank a ton of water in the sauna, maybe 20 oz. And I drank jasmine tea before bed, so while I still do drink throughout the day, I really need to drink when I lose moisture through sweating in my sauna. So that might be why.

It also is through a detox method, it says that is how it works. Well, I don't understand exactly, but my detox foot pads also provide a detox for your body. I have been doing those for years. Since I *probably* don't have as many toxins in my body as the average person, maybe that is why it didn't work as well. Like any type of "detox diet" that has you do a colon cleanse to lose weight fast, those don't work for me, since I use my oxyflush colon cleanse every night.

I ordered some luca lean body wrap stuff the other day, and will try it this weekend. I will try my whole body. Then I will review that, as well. I am doing the hcg diet right now, too, but only have lost about 8 lbs in 13 days... not fast enough for me!! I think I am freaking out about my wedding, my dress (I go in for alterations tonight so maybe that is the pressure that I am feeling). I want to lose at least another 10 lbs before the big day... only 16 days from now!! (When I say I am freaking out about my wedding, I am NOT freaking out about marrying him, that is the only thing I feel 100% sure about, and when I think of being married to him, I feel a sense of calm and peace, while the rest of the world is experiencing chaos).

So... another review coming up within the week.
