Remember the Steven King movie (and book) Maximum Overdrive, where all the machines come to life? Or what about The Transformers and the Spark that brings electronics/machines to life? Could that have happened already with our common, everyday house cleaning equipment?
Because I am convinced my dryer is carnivore, or a clothivore, or perhaps just a sockivore!
Why is it every time I do laundry an even number of socks go in but an odd number comes out? Has it somehow had a spark and come to life needing a regular diet of tubular cotton fiber? Perhaps it is seeking a certain flavor, something that reminds it of some far off planetary system it's collective intelligence called home; therefore it keeps trying different socks hoping to find that reminiscent taste? Kind of how we take a bite out of a chocolate and put it back in the box because it wasn't what we were looking for. So the dryer eats only one sock out of a set, deciding it isn't the flavor it wants and therefore leaves the other one untouched? Should I be amused at the daily dietary divergence of my dryer or horrified at the mass slaughter of socks that leaves the twin sock orphaned and alone?
Either way, I am convinced that yes, my dryer does in fact snack on socks, and lint is the undigested remains of said socks.

So I watched the first #Transformers movie last night with him. I must admit I was pleasantly surprised and quite enjoyed it.
When I was in high school I remember scoffing at the advertisements for the new movie coming out... "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". I swore up and down it was going to be stupid and no way was I going to watch it. A friend of mine took me out on a date to see "Tales from the Crypt" which was in theatres at the same time, or so I thought.
It's summer time. The weather is warmer. The sun is out. And you want to be out in that fresh air enjoying life. Sunshine and the subsequent Vitamin D from sun exposure has its benefits. We need a little bit of those UV rays to prevent things like Rickets and Depression. Not all sun exposure is bad. Moderation is the key to life. But this post isn't about the pros and cons of lazy days out on the beach, in the sand and salt water, soaking up copious amounts of natural Vitamin D in the form of refreshing, warming tropical sunshine...... sorry, got a little sidetracked there with my day dream.
Ok, so you want to be out enjoying the summer life. Lazy days on the beach, or lake, or any other outdoor activity. But, if you're like me sunshine puts a nice spotlight on any problem areas on your face. It's embarrassing to admit, but I have always struggled with acne and large pores.

I was excited to try these protein shake samples received in my#GoVoxBox from Influenster.
Having used Whey protein shakes in the past to help manage my weight and blood sugar levels, I am hypoglycemic. I also used them as nutritional supplements for my mother when she was struggling with cancer and unable to eat. There are many benefits to protein supplements and they come in a variety of types and flavors. Even weight loss brand names have gotten in on the hype - Weight Watchers and Adkins.
Having used many different brands in the past and tried almost every flavor, I have learned that I am not a fan of most flavors besides chocolate. That being said I started with the flavor I usually like least. Just like our mother's used to tell us when there was something on our plate we didn't like... eat it first.

Ok, so it is no secret that I LOVE #Influenster! In the most recent GoVoxBox I received two items from PROFOOT to try, ProFoot Triad Orthotic shoe inserts and the ProFoot Pedi-Rock. They are both wonderful!
I have suffered with Plantar Fasciitis since 2012 when I started walking at lunch and after work for exercise. It was frustrating to have to slow and at times even stop my addictive routine. At the suggestion of the pain management doctor I worked for I started using orthotic inserts to help the pain and healing. And it worked! So now I regularly replace the orthotics in my shoes to help control the plantar fasciitis with another trusted brand. So while eager to try a new insert I was also nervous and a bit skeptical,

Yogurt is one of those healthy food choices that always find its way into my regular shopping. Being hypoglycemic (chronic low blood sugar) I have always been advised to follow a high protein/low carb diet. In a fast-paced world this is sometimes difficult to do. Enter greek yogurt.
Working out of town last week and I took my items with me, including Bath Salts to help me relax after traveling over 400miles to work then busy days in a strange office processing 360 charts. Whew!
I am usually a shower person and not very big on Lavender. HOWEVER, I have to say the + Bath Salts
