Happy I am buying things on SALE

There are a many good things that makes me happy but one of them that just makes me feel like I hit the jackpot is when I get a really good sale on something I really want. This doesn't come by too often as I peruse the isles of items or flip through webpages and the item is not on sale. I spent hours going back to webpages every week when we moved to our new home to see if the item I wanted had gone on sale or not. Where is a website that monitor prices for items that I want when I need one? I looked desparately. But it was to no avail.
A month past, and I decided that we should make a website ourselves to remedy my problem. So let me introduce to you, the reader my little invention. Ta Da!
www.GoEyeball.com
GoEyeball.com is super easy to use once you understand it's concept. Some think GoEyeball.com is a community site that people contributes to what is one sale. You do have some highlighted sales but the importance is creating your own price monitors or what we have termed "eyeballs" to help you watch for the items that you want but aren't on sale yet.
And what makes me even happier is that I can price match and price adjust if I want to make a little extra effort and save an extra 5 or 10% on top of the sale.
Being happy isn't always the big things in life. It is the little ones that add up on a daily basis. Now I have more time to spend with my family because GoEyeball.com sends me an email when the price drops.
Healthy living is healthy shopping! Saving money just makes me Happy, period.

Keeping Breast Cancer at Bay

In another 3 months my Mom would have left us for 11 years. She died of breast cancer. And as statistics points out to me, I am at a higher risk category. Does it scare me that I might one day be diagnosed by it? Sure it does. But I have found a few things in life to help me fight this lurking monster.

The number one thing is that I found a husband who makes me laugh every day. I love the moments that we can share a cheesy joke. So how is being happy and laughing going to help? Excellent question my friend. Last year sometime I read in the news that there was a study entitled "Breast Cancer, Psychological Distress and Life Events among Young Women," published in the journal BMC Cancer. The study suggests that traumatic events and stress can lead to an increase in breast cancer risk.

Interestingly, these findings correlate to Traditional Chinese Medicine's (TCM) theory that has been around for thousands of years. TCM describes that we all have Qi that circulates throughout our body. Some may call it our vital force or energy. Whatever we choose to call it, Qi needs to flow smoothly in our bodies. The "energetic" organ responsible for this smooth flow is our liver. If you have ever been to an acupuncturist and they have their classical acupuncture charts on the wall, you may notice that the liver meridian (energy channels along the body where Qi flows) , along with the Gallbladder and Stomach meridians all flow through the breast. When Qi stagnates in our bodies, it can lead to the development of pain and eventually breast lumps or tumours. So besides trying to get my daily dose of laughter, I will massage points along the liver meridian.

Another important yet simple thing to do is sleep in the dark and get enough sleep. I will be talking about this in another blog. Eat healthy foods which are high in anti-oxidants (usually foods that are in our vegetable and fruit groups), exercise daily and use more natural products for my skin that doesn't contain hormone disruptors ( parabens, Diethanolamine (DEA) etc.)

Most important is to keep up the fight and lessen the fear, as fear in itself is deadly.
