It never seems like fun to get your chores done. The weekends are supposed to be made for fun.
The thing is, when people work 8-5 on the weekdays the only days to wash the car and paint the house is the weekends. This last weekend was boring and while we got a lot done, sure I would have loved to be window shopping or watching a film in the cool of the cinema.
That is the hard thing about being a grown up. When to stop having fun and get serious about a project at home. That is because we can't always be selfish and just play all the time. We have to let our women go off for a while and do things and we have to let our men take time and work on something for a while.
Its not fun to see my man work on the spa all weekend and hear the nail gun go off. Once its done it will mean I can go back into the spa again and relax. In the mean time its noise and boredom for me. If I don't find a good book to read and leave him alone, it will never get done. Thank goodness for my Ipod and three new novels. I can't help him too much and the heat makes me sick. I have my chores done and I can read to my hearts content.

Cheap Buys
In my attempt to live a nice life even during these hard times I have found a few good buys, yes at the 99 cents store.
For my weekly beauty treatments I tired two new products. The First is from Nu-pore and their collagen essence mask/ fresh aloe masks. They come two in one box. I used the collagen essence mask last night, I could feel the tighten effect. I didn't break out in a rash, but that doesn't mean others might not.
In all it was a good experience and I would buy it again. You can put them in frig to cool them off if you want. Its a cotton face mask soaked in the treatments. I would give it a 8 out of 10, 10 being best. It was much better than I figured it would be.
The next was by Body Zen the foot treatments. I bought the brown sugar/ vanilla foot scrub,it came with bath salts and lotion. The scent was fine, but for my money I think the sugar scrub at Trader Joe's offers more. It wasn't bad, so I will give it a 5 out 10. The slats worked fine and the lotion was nice. I am used to Body Shop, their sales are the best.
Just trying to show that you can still pamper yourself even if you don't have a lot of money. Cheers and here is to more cheap buys!

Relax
In our busy and stressful lives we need to find ways to relax. Faced with work places that are getting more and more hostile we have to decompress.
With a recent visit to the Doctors my man was told that he needs to lower his blood pressure and lose weight. How can this be done? One activity, walk the dogs. Play with your dogs. Yes petting your dog, cat, or bunny lowers your blood pressure. Walking the dogs is good for you and good for them. The whole family comes back happy and relaxed.
Other things, praying and meditating also lower your blood pressure. The deep breathing with both gives you more oxygen to your body and your blood. So stop and take a deep breath and hold it then slowly let go. We need it, this if often done in Pilate's classes.
There is also bike ridding. Sure there is gym membership, I try to talk about things that don't cost a lot of money. Why add stress of another monthly bill?
There is so much out there that makes us stressed. Some stress is good, it helps to keep us on our game. Overstressed is more what I talking about, aren't we all there? The summer is still here and we still have beach days. picnics in the part and BBQ's with friends to help us all relax. Go get some fresh air, take a deep breath and relax!
