We have a Lemon! (Product Review)



As you know, this blog started and still remains a forum for posting about life's lemons and how best to turn them into lemonade and embrace the beauty that is life. However, I receive more and more requests for product review. It is my absolute pleasure to try new products and tell you about them. It is also my pleasure to read books and share my thoughts. Well today, pun intended, I have a lemon of a product review to share with you. The product itself is actually quite cute and well made, so it's worth at least 4 stars on Amazon...BUT...holy buckets is this NOT a good look for me. These pictures say it best...








And here's my actual product review: The glasses are well made. There aren't many places where things could go wrong. No tiny nose pieces to get tangled in your hair and end up out of shape, no delicate gems, beads, or other embellishments, etc... These glasses will last a good long time and stand up to everyday wear. They deserve 4 stars, and if I looked cute in them I'd give them 5. I really wanted to like these...I tried them on several different times with different makeup, different hair, different lighting, and still I look like I'm headed to a 3D movie at the theater (bring on the popcorn and large diet coke please). I posted my pictures on social media in hopes someone might say, wow are those trendy looking on you...but in the end, these glasses are not for me. My lovely friend Jessica is going to rock these and she's excited to receive them in her stocking this year. Thanks but no thanks...

You Can Speak Your Mind, But Not On My Time?

Today's post title is inspired by the fabulous song that is likely going through your head right now "I still belong, don't get me wrong, you can speak your mind but not on my time...you can live your life, but this is my life..."etc... The topic however is inspired by a dear friend who recently said to me "why is it so hard for people to be real and have a conversation about things they disagree with?" I've been thinking about that queestion and the conversation that it inspired - what she was really talking about is feedback. Why is it so difficult to tell someone that you'd like them to do something differently? We beat around the bush, and sometimes never say what's on our mind. Isn't this really the rooot cause of relationship problems? The cause of dating mis-haps, family arguements, and the underlying issue that often results in anger and fighting? Before you answer, let me toss out some scenarios: 1) You're dating someone ...

Natural Remedies for Depression ?

Have you had those moments when you weren't feeling quite like yourself? Those negative thoughts were creeping in? clouding your judgment? making every day chores seem like amazing feats of heroism? If you've never felt like that - good for you! I on the other hand struggle with life's ups and downs. From depression during my divorce to post-partum depression, etc... I tend to be a very happy and optimistic person, but the flip side of that coin brings those days when staying in bed is more alluring than hopping in the shower and going through the motions of the day. There are some fabulous medications on the market today, and seeking the help of a healthcare professional is always a great idea. Sometimes I'm not feeling depressed, but I fear I'm headed there. I don't particularly care for some of the side effects of medications I have been on in the past, and a natural remedy can sometimes give me just the kick in the pants that I need to 'get happy...
