So....the whole point of creating a series of 2 things that I am passionate about was to number one...possibly speak to someone, like me, who really is kinda bored with the same old me, and wants to see what else is out there, and can it work for me too? For a very simple example, I heard someone say that they had 15 mascara's to review. WHAT?!?! I don't think I have owned 15 mascara's in my whole life. But maybe I can watch enough reviews, pick enough guru's with coloring similar to mine, and try out THEIR favorite mascara. Then tell you what I think. See what I mean?
The second part was that I was/am just getting more and more frusturated with the whole thing, that youtube "celebrities" are untouchable. OK, lets be honest some if not most of the really famous youtubers are guys that if they were in your circle of friends would probably not be the cutest, coolest, or most chill guy there. But on youtube they can take 4 minutes and turn their personalities into something that MILLIONS of people can't go a day without watching. It's un-freakin-believable. And now, when they want you to jump in their project boat with them you cannot FOR THE LIFE OF SWEET BABY JESUS get an answer to a genuine question regarding that boat. Tweet them, comment them, Ustream them, BlogTV them, Send a fuckin carrier pigeon, you aint gettin a nano-second of their time. Now let me do a quick disclaimer to hopefully ward of 2% of the hater comments ya'll are composing in your head. It's not everybody. Yes I know, they get 10's of thousands of questions a day. Or my favorite....Fuck You, you're just jealous. OK I am not jealous. In future posts you will see that I have the self confidence of a chia pet. Not even a good chia pet, like a cat, or a person. I'm like one of the dumbass, very last in the clearance bin, Santa Claus chia pets. So anything you say isn't going to hurt me, anything you say I have thought about myself already.
I just think when someone says how appreciative they are, yada, yada, I will get into that more another time that after being a fan for TWO years and in that time sending comments, questions, tweets, emails, and NEVER getting a response kinda is a blow. And not the good kind. Anyway, I really, really, really, want to do this series, I think it is a good idea, and that there are other people out there like me that would enjoy being a part of this community. Is there? Is anyone out there? I dunno, if there is, please, leave a comment, because if this is a massive waste of time I don't want to suffer constant panic attacks at the thought of making a video and then nobody even watches it! LOL
Alright, take care guys, and as always Be Nice To Each Other!

PS I DID post a "sorta" video on my Can You See Me Now channel, just to get something up and because I said I would, and to see if it got ANY views. If you want to see it, or know where my channel is, it is:

No Pain, No Gain??
OK, so remember how I said this whole series, blog was going to be all over the place, well here is the first stop. Everyone off the bus, destination...The land of "DUH!"
So maybe in a video, maybe on a post you read that I am trying anything and everything to try and get this physical shell of mine in tip top shape. I have 2 major things going on this morning, buuuuuut, for the sake of future fodder, let's stick to one.
Crest 3-D Professional Whitestrips = Good. Falling asleep at night with a set in = Bad.
OK, I have been doing Crest Whitestrips for YEARS. When did they first come out anyway, sometime in the early 90's? I never noticed a "HOLY SHIT MY TEETH ARE WHITE" result, however I GUESS they did remove some stains, and I had a few friends who had really nice, pearly whites, and whenever I asked about it, they would almost all say "Crest Whitestrips!"
Now in early July I was supposed to make a trip to Washington DC that I ended up not going on. In preperation of this trip I bought a box of Crest 3-D Profressional Whitestrips. So I didn't use them then, but I decided to try them now, along with all the other new health and beauty related things I am trying.
Yesterday was my 3rd day and I have to say that I am BLOWN AWAY by how far the actual product has come. I was expecting the strips from the old days. Wet, slippery, foamy, hydrogen peroxide running down your throat. Well these new strips of today are NOTHING like that.
The product first of all has gone from twice a day to once a day, you can do it more often if you'd like faster results. The commercials for the old formulation always showed these gorgeous people with teeth that were ALREADY bright white. Oh well.
The VERY first thing I noticed about this new product is that the strips were made of alot sturdier plastic and was not wet, goopy, or anything. It came off the backing like some really well made sticker. THEN when you place it on your teeth, it's pretty much the same, line it up press it down, fold excess over...and wait. So I did. It was alot more pleasant of an experience without the formula dripping into your mouth and down your throat.
The second thing I noticed, went I went to take them off, they were stuck. Like ''REALLY" stuck. Cool. They aren't going to slide around, and I really can do other things while whitening my teeth! Well I usually do these kinds of "things" at night, last night was no exception.
I guess this is a good point to mention that part of my bedtime routine is to brush my teeth. I'm tellin ya, there is some exciting stuff going on over here at mi casa! Anyway, to "UP" the whitening process I have added the accompanying toothpaste.
OH and remember, I am your normal, average gal. That's right, I med up before bed. I love my ambien! I busy wife/mother's best friend! Welllll, besides coffee, lol. Anyway, took my ambien, started to get ready for bed, washed my face, did my nightime routine, yada yada, Then I settle into my comfy white rocker (I am SURE you will hear about / see that later) next thing I know I am waking up and what in the blue hell is that stuck on my tooth? That's right folks, these things are so comfortable, form fitting, and unnoticeable that you can actually, and I actually DID sleep the entire night with these things ON my teeth. Do I recommend it? HELL TO THE NO!! My bottom teeth are THROBBING and feel like they are gonna fall out like some junkie meth freak, and all my chompers are noticeably sensitive which the precautions warn you of, and say it will be temporary and won't hurt anything.
We'll See.
This was a mistake made COMPLETELY by me, and as I said before, DON'T DO IT!! The package says 30 minutes once a day, and that is what I normally would do, and that is definately what I recommend you do. As always, read the precautions before using and follow directions closely.
OK, here is the part where the blog intertwines with the video. I mention where I heard about the product. Now I don't live under a rock, I have a very comfortable abode, thank you very much :-) But there WAS a guru's video I watched that gave me the incentive to use the strips and try the toothpaste. Now another part that I don't think I HAVE mentioned is that I am going to ask for the person's permission before I talk about them. It shouldn't be a problem since I admire these people and even if I have a bad reaction to a product they love, that is just MY reaction and will in NO WAY change how much I admire these strong, smart, independant women. I will ask this lady and if she says it is ok I will post her information and talk a bit about her here.
Also, in my quest for beauty, health, positivity, and fitness, my family also joined the gym. I am a creature of curiosity. Now a bunch of people in a room jumping, clapping, and grinding their hips to Ludacris "LUDA!" caught my curiosity. Hello Zumba! Last night was my VERY first Beginning Zumpa Class, or as I like to call it, a Hippo struggling in quicksand, and I LOVED it. Well OK I loved the Idea of it. In reality I looked stupid. Really bad. BUT I can see how it is going to be a SUPER FUN way to get in my cardio while getting my groove back! We immediately left the gym and headed on over to Wal-Mart so that we (The Hubs and I) can get an idea of the basic moves without pulling any muscles or embarassing the family name tooo much!
As for a video. Well for this whole thing to work, or for it to even exist as I picture it, there has to be a sister site on youtube. Soooo I will film one later today, touching on this and whatever else happens to me on cyberspace today. Hey, it's only 8am!
Have a great day guys, and as always, Be NICE to each other!
Big Hugs!

I don't drink red wine, I brush, at LEAST once a day, which I know, I know, is not enough. I should be brushing after every meal. And I do have a bit, OK, really a massive addiction to coffee drinks. How much this has to do with my teeth stains, I dunno.

Bring Me Your Ignored, Your Undiscovered, Your Downtrodden....
OK Folks, Day 1 of this, ummmm, this whatever it is. Today's post is going to be very simple. I want to see if I can get any interest without a video, without like commenting on a million other channels with the link, just to see if anyone finds me and is interested in this vision, solely from the keywords. Understand? You will.
So if you are reading this, THANK YOU so damn much for taking me seriously, and quite frankly for taking the time. And I promise, if you ask a question, or if you leave a funny response, I will respond to it. Always. And if you are just here to say that I am "jealous" or a loser or whatever, don't bother. I am not in this to get subscribers, I KNOW I am not going to like be a partner or anything or get free stuff so losing the subscription or having a hater NOT follow me, is not going to effect me in any way.
So it took alot of the day for me to set everything up and to think of exactly what I wanted, so today won't have any reviews, or shout outs to nice people, or anything like that. But future posts will.
Thanks again, Take Care, and Last, but certainly not least, Be a Nice Person!
Big Hugs!
