Helpful info. & cute slippers!

Last night after dinner I had some visitors & we hung out on the deck. It got kind of cold. So much so I had to break out the new slippers which are the softest things ever! I should have bought 2 pairs.
Stewie hung out for a bit as well. 

I'm getting ready to go to the wedding, but I read some interesting things today in my new issue of Vegetarian Times and thought I would share.

45% of US adults have at least one of these chronic condtions: hypertension, high cholesterol or diabetes-source Centers for Disease Control & Prevention.

For PMS relief, try Chasteberry extract or Chaste Tree Berry extract. A study published in Gynecological Endocrinology found that taking Vitex agnus-castus extract significantly reduced cramping, moodiness, bloating & and food cravings in women by their third menstrual cycle. Women on the Pill should not use chaste tree.

I have to say, since becoming vegetarian, I don't have the wild mood swings anymore. I still have food cravings but recently they don't seem to be as bad as they were. My family is much happier for it, believe me.

I guess this is all for me until Sunday! I have a super cute dress to wear to the wedding tonight, I'll try to remember to post a picture. I'm not sure what they'll have to eat there, but I believe its a buffet. I've already had some food today & plan on eating again before I leave. I just have to drop the kids off at my girlfriend's house & I'm ready to go.

Have a great weekend!!
