There Are Great Watches Out There Now

I was looking around in one of the nicer jewelry stores in town lately and saw some beautiful watches. Watches that cost upwards of thousand of dollars! Some of the lady sports watches had diamonds on them. That is a pairing I had never thought of--sports watches and diamonds! You could run the 100 year dash wearing it, or scuba dive. Can you imagine that? I have a hard time doing that! I also saw some titanium watches men, along with some other brands, that were also very expensive.
'
My worry would be, what if you spend that much money on a watch and lose it anyway? That would be heartbreaking. I guess you could get some insurance to cover it? If not, I wouldn't even go there, because I would be sure to lose it, or have the strap break, and bye bye watch.

Can I Afford A Cleaning Woman?

I work full time and have a couple of part-time gigs, including being a lawyer and a freelance writer. I also try to have a social life. Needless to say, I don't have a lot of time to clean the house. Yet, I like things to be in order and the house to be presentable. I don't have a lot of extra money, but it might be money well spent. I need to research some cleaning services and the costs to see if I can afford it. My place is small, so I might feel silly getting a cleaning woman, but time is money. And I don't have enough time. One of my friends who lives in North Carolina has looked into a cary cleaning service. I don't know if she has actually hired them yet or not. I need to check in with her and see what she thinks. It would help me make my decision.

Carpets Need Upkeep Or They Look Bad

My friend who lives in Chapel Hill has a great new home. It is one of the new open air designs, and it is very comfortable. I have only been there once, but loved it. She works at home, so she gets to enjoy being there a lot. She is very lucky. She is doing a little upkeep to make the house even better. She said her carpets looked grungy so she is going to check out some carpet cleaners chapel hill ncto see how much it would cost to get them cleaned. I know from experience that if you don't get your carpets cleaned regularly, they will look grungy beyond repair. I am trying to remember that now too.

Would Spray Tanning Help Me?

I have never had a spray tan, but one of my law school classmates used to get them all the time. I have vitiligo, which is a skin pigment problem. Where you lose pigment, and your skin goes white. I am fair skinned anyway, so normally it doesn't show, but when I get the least bit of sun, you can see the vitiligo patches. I have medicine t use, two different creams, but one of them is very expensive, so I have slacked off. I need to start again. I would like to get a spray tan to help that problem. I am just not sure if it would help fill in the spot,s or make them more noticeable.

Sprucing Up My Condo

I am looking around to see what I can do to make my condo look better. Being on a budget, I am thinking first about what I can do that doesn't cost very much. Here is my list of what I need that won't cost that much: a new sofa, a white porcelain sink for the kitchen, new water heater,  a door kick plate, and maybe some new carpet to replace the new carpet that I just got, and that the cats have clawed up. Naughty kitties. I have a small carpet area, so it doesn't cost that much, but hey it was still a waste of $700. Money that I don't have. The carpet looks better, only in that it is newer carpet, as opposed to the old carpet I had. New carpet that is clawed. Nice. Maybe the water heater will be next. Good and practical. Then maybe the porcelain sink. That would make my kitchen look so nice. Little by little, it will come together.

Is Suzanne Somers Right?

I have not read Suzanne Somers' book on bioidentical hormone therapy, but I have heard her talk about it on TV, and she sure looks good. She also seems to have stemmed her disease, although I cannot recall what disease it was. I remember it was serious though. Cancer, I think, but am not sure.

I am into looking good and anti-aging techniques, but I have not looked into this therapy yet. I am worried about my skin looking bad and thought I would read up bioidentical hormone therapy austin
and some other sites. Maybe I will even read Somer's book. If there are not any downsides to the therapy, I may end up doing it. Who knows?
