I’m Ready for a Change!
My weight is something I have been battling with since the birth of my daughter. In my pregnancy I ended up with toxemia and a weight gain that was far beyond what any pregnant woman should ever gain. Thanks to Creative BioScience I might have a way for me to lose the pounds I am in need of losing! As some of you know I was battling with my decision between hCG and African Mango. Some of you commented to me that hCG was the way to go and others said that you wanted to read more about the effects of African Mango since it would fit better with your day to day lives as it is hard to count calories and eat different food then what you serve your families. I have closely looked through their site and all they have to offer. I have decided to give African Mango Lean a try. The reason behind this is not only because that was the #1 choice on my facebook page but also because I agree that it is hard to make different food for yourself then you do for your family. With the African Mango … [Read more...]
Easy ‘Tie Dye’ the Kids can do!
Items Needed:Sharpie MarkersWhite T-ShirtBowl (any size)Rubber-bandrubbing alcohol 1. First you will need to decide where you would like your tie dye to be located on the t-shirt. Then place that spot over a bowl and use a rubber band to hold the shirt in place. This will also stretch the shirt allowing a nice canvas to easily draw on. 2. Let the kids draw away! Anything they like! After the kids have finished up their artwork on the t-shirts you will then take rubbing alcohol and lightly pour the alcohol over the drawing. It is easiest to do this in a bottle with an applicator tip. But if you don't have one that is okay as well... The rubbing alcohol will then let the colors bleed out making if kind of a fun tie dye effect the kids will love! - Next let dry! That's it! Now your kids have a new cool shirt to wear!....I have never washed these shirts to I am not sure it will stay..we just do it for the fun of it! … [Read more...]
How to Fry a Plantain
Recently while shopping I came across some Plantains. Now these are not the best looking but I also know that although Plantains are one of the most used fruits in the world they are not all that common in the U.S. First off when selecting a Plantain to cook you want to choose one that is nice and green. Preferably without any yellow spots or coloring. First thing you will need to do is slice your Plantain into pieces. I like mine about 1" in size. Next you will place Plantain slices in frying pan with oil. Fry each side of Plantain about 3 minutes or until golden brown. You will want to make sure your Plantains are not burning but that they are cooked in the middle. After Plantains have fried and have turned golden brown I take them out and drain oil off on paper towel. Next I place one Plantain at a time on a plate and use a second plate to flatten the Plantain. If it is falling apart and not sticking together then they have not fried enough in the pan. After all … [Read more...]

Six home money saving tips

And in tough times like these, many homeowners are looking for ways to save money. Here are six home money saving techniques that will help keep your checkbook out of the red. 1. Install a programmable thermostat Heating and cooling can be a major expense for homeowners, but equipping your house with a programmable thermostat is a great way to cut costs. These devices can be set to turn off the heat or air when you aren’t home. By turning your heating and cooling system off for several hours a day, you can save between 10 and 20 percent on your bill. Programmable thermostats are sold at most home improvement stores, and range between $50 and $200. 2. Eat smart and stick to the list It seems like a simple tip, but grocery stores are designed to lure you into spending more. Always make a list of what … [Read more...]
