DIY Envelopes

I love getting mail (as sad as it sound, I stalk my mail man daily—poor guy). There isn’t much of a selection of fun stationary here in my smallish town (I’m limited to whatever Target has), so generally I’m stuck with notebook paper and very boring white envelopes. One fabulously rainy day, in the middle of writing all my letters,… Read More

My One Little Word

I wasn’t going to pick a word for this year. It’s one of those projects I always see and think “Oh, that’s cool.” But then I never do it.

HCG: Water

Water is a huge part of the HCG diet. The HCG diet directions state to take your weight, divide by two, and drink that many ounces of water per day. Per day. That’s a bunch of water! The reasoning behind this is really simple. If your body isn’t getting enough water, it thinks it is in drought, and it will… Read More
