Jeff and I were at the theater today and he ordered a small soft drink. (Sigh….)
When he walked up with his “small” drink, I was shocked. I grabbed it and said, “You HAVE to photograph this!”
I asked him if he was going to drink it all even though he wanted a smaller size. He looked at me like I was telling him what to do, not asking. Okay, maybe I was passively suggesting that he didn’t have to drink it all. He said next time he’ll order this same size and if we are with a group of people who want soda, too, he’ll order three or four empty cups. I wonder how that would go over….
He told me that when he stopped in at a coffee shop yesterday for a mocha the cashier asked what size and he said, “Small.” He said the cashier asked why he would just want small when for a few cents more he could get a much larger mocha.
Just because you can get more for less, doesn’t mean you should. On that note, I can’t believe McDonald’s is currently advertising all soft drinks for $1. In this case “more” is just more sugar, calories and chemicals that our bodies suffer from. We get NO nutrients from soda!
“Super-sizing” our portions is undoubtedly super-sizing us!
When I did a search hoping to pull up the actual dollar drink ad, I found instead a bunch of blogs of people who are really excited to be getting this good deal….

LookYoungerOasis.com offers complimentary youth-enhancing, color therapy facials to look younger and feel better. Rejuvenating skin care also enhances mental, physical and spiritual health. Learning the attributes of color identifies life needs and desires. With these time-tested attributes, do-it-yourself massage and skin care treatments can utilize color therapy to enhance benefit to the skin as well as to the psyche.
On a recent CNN television interview, Jami Lin, award-winning author of “ColorAlchemy” and licensed skin-care specialist, says, “Color aids in providing the feel-good spa experience at home.” “Using colored light around the room and on the skin with your crèmes and acupressure, stimulates the energy channels in the body (know as meridians in Chinese medicine) to enhance heart, lung, kidney, liver and stomach function while enhancing skin tone and texture.”
Skin-care processionals prepare for appointments with clients, when interviewing a patient, therapists can ask them questions that identify the areas in their lives where they find themselves struggling and do-it-yourself-ers can do the same. Evaluate the attributes of the seven-spectral colors and how they identify imbalances will help determine which colors to use. Or rely on intuition by choosing a card from a face-down deck of rainbow cards such as Jami Lin’s Triumph Oracle.
Choose red, color therapy for help with physical stamina, vitality, and strength. Orange is beneficial for those looking to achieve a better body image, and thus heighten sensuality and desirability. Those seeking greater personal power, confidence, and success benefit from yellow. Green aids those looking for more love and trust in their lives. Blue provides a sense of peace and improves communication. Indigo awakens inner intuition. Violet awakens spiritual love, cosmic intelligence, and divine bliss.
“Certain colors improve skin conditions,” according to Lin. “Green helps reduce wrinkles. Blue, turquoise, and indigo can counteract red, inflamed skin, such as is found in rosacea. Red stimulates circulation, collagen, and elastin. Yellow improves discoloration. Blue, turquoise, and violet can also help clear acne and control other bacteria on the facial skin.”
Observing personalized color needs can determine which color is required during treatment. Apply the appropriate colored light during do-it-yourself facials. According to Jami Lin, “Many skin-care professionals apply ColorAlchemy to their facials by using LED light treatments in all of the seven spectral colors. Use masks, toners, and other products that are of a certain color, or stored in a certain color bottle to further enhance the color benefits.
Be aware of existing skin conditions that could be accelerated with color therapy. If needing red therapy to boost stamina and vitality, but have red skin or rosacea tendency, red shouldn’t be applied. Instead, go for the second best color, which would be orange in this example.
If using a skin-care professional who uses color therapy, the techniques allow for a greater connection between the client and practitioner. This connection allows for a spiritual energy exchange between the two, benefiting both.

Can you imagine a land where soda doesn’t flow freely and donuts are boot-legged for three figures?
Well, folks, we may be entering a sugar crisis. How do I know? I watched this video clip. Please treat yourself to this delightful video, starring guest Marion Nestle.
My dream has come true: my husband may have to eat fruit instead of chocolate, juice instead of soda, ice water (gasp!) instead of ice cream…
Parents may have to give their children fruit and vegetables as snacks instead of ice cream and chips and Twinkies……..
…..like this poor little girl (photographed in my hometown!) that someone brought to my attention recently:
I don’t typically post pictures like this, but the image has been stuck in my mind for days and it’s an important one. A child does NOT gain this kind of weight normally. I read a statistic recently that out of all children born after the year 2000, one in three are expected to develop diabetes. This is NOT normal! Sugar and junk food have EVERYTHING to do with this! Kids don’t gain this kind of weight eating healthy meals. Parents not only have the power to help their children eat healthy, it is a responsibility. In my opinion, the amount of junk food that kids are typically allowed to eat is a form of child abuse. Kids are getting addicted (physically and emotionally) to sugar at an early age and gaining weight and developing early on-set diabetes. WHAT?! Not my kids. This topic is open to discussion, and as always, there are certain exceptions here, but not many. The number of overweight children in the US is staggering, not to mention that roughly 1/3 of all Americans are overweight.
We have a national health crisis on our hands (heart disease, obesity, diabetes, to name a few) and the fact that there may be less sugar available for those outrageously cheap prices really blesses my heart.

What is Hydrocele? / Hydrocele Definition:-
Hydrocele is a common condition of men in which there is accumulation of fluid in the tunica virginals, the sac which surrounds the testicle.Each gland is composed of myriads of coiled tubes in which the sperm cells are produced. It is the function of these cells to fertilize the ovum.
Hydrocele Symptoms Signs:-
The main symptom of Hydrocele is painless, smooth and elastic enlargement of the scrotum. In some cases swelling is so much as to cause a great deal of inconvenience interfering greatly with walking. Consequently it may produce a great deal of pressure upon the testicles and the spermatic vessels causing a detrimental effect upon the generative system. The Hydrocele is translucent. If a bright light is placed upon it in the dark the whole swelling lights up if the swelling become painful, it usually denotes that it has become infected.
Hydrocele Causes Risk Factors:-
The apparent cause of Hydrocele may be a knock or a strain but toxic condition of the system is usually at the root of the matter. This systemic toxicity results from wrong dietary habits, general wrong living and suppressive medical treatment of former diseases. Sometimes gonorrhoel infection, obstruction of the abdominal vein, tuberculosis and dropsy may be the cause of this condition. Hydrocele sometimes exists at birth. In this case swelling is seen when the infant is an upright position and disappears when the infant is laid upon its back. Hydrocele usually disappears by itself in infants.
Hydrocele Home Treatments Remedy Cure:-
Tapping is the method usually resorted to for removal of the fluid in Hydrocele. This, however, does not remove the cause of the trouble but only its effects. The correct way in which the condition can be really dealt with successfully is through constitutional treatment. Such a treatment should aim at removing the underlying toxicity of the system which is at the root of the trouble. The sufferer from Hydrocele should begin with an exclusive fresh fruit diet for seven to ten days. In this regimen, he should have three meals a day of fresh juicy fruits, such as apples, pears, grapes, grape-fruit, oranges, pineapple, peaches, melon or any other juicy fruit in season but no bananas or dried, stewed or tinned fruit, and no other foodstuff whatever. For drinks, lemon water unsweetened or water either hot or cold may be taken.
During this period the bowels should be cleansed daily with a warm water enema. If constipation is habitual, all steps should be taken for its eradication. After all all-fruit diet the patient may adopt the following regimen:
Breakfast: Fresh fruit as obtainable, or grated raw carrot or other raw salad-stuff, prunes or other dried fruits, if desired, and a cup of milk.
Lunch: Steamed vegetables, as obtainable, with either a poached or scrambled egg.
Dinner: A good-sized raw salad, of any suitable vegetable as obtainable, with whole wheat bread and butter, and prunes or other dried fruits as dessert.
