Do you suffer with sinus problems or nasal allergies? (review)

I know that I do on a daily basis (have sinus problems). And because of this my doctor gave me a Neti Pot and I was told to use the pot daily. Problem is, even though it worked, I was not fond of how it worked. It took forever, it seemed, for the gravity to pull the solution through my sinus cavity. So needless to say, I did not use it daily as I was instructed to do. Therefore I dealt with stuffed/clogged sinuses and allergy problems on a daily basis.

That is until I received the Acu Life Neti Rinse to review. I love the way this antibacterial nasal rinse works. It uses a syringe, and you can control the duration and pressure of the rinse. The fluted walls of the antibacterial tip produces a gentle swirl of the saline rinse solution. The syringe is comfortable and easy to use. And works better at cleaning out my sinuses than anything else I have ever tried.

From the box:

• relief from nasal congestion, allergies, & sinus symptoms
• for post nasal drip, cold & flu, nasal dryness or irritation
• easily control duration & pressure of rinse

I am so happy with this Neti Rinse and my sinuses have never felt better. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone that has a cold, sinuses that are clogged, or nasal allergies. And hope that the4y have the same wonderful benefits that I have had.

Have you ever wanted to feel better?

Did you know that if you lost some weight ... those of us that have a few too many extra pounds, can actually feel better if you loose some weight. Well it's true! Not only do your clothes fit better, you look better, it's better for your internal organs, and just over all y0u feel better.

I recently had the opportunity to try Slim Shots and boy was I surprised at how well it worked at curbing my appetite.

I received the chocolate flavor (it also comes in a vanilla flavor) to try. It tasted more like hazel nuts to me, which I enjoyed. Slim Shots come in a small container similar to the flavored coffee creamer shots. They are easy to use and my package had an added bonus of a hard plastic storage container for one Slim Shot. Which is very handy for carrying a Slim Shot with you when you are away from home. I thought it tasted even better cold, s0 I kept my box in the fridge.

I never thought it would curb my appetite as well as said it would. But it did! It also worked really quickly at curbing my appetite, every time I used one and it would last between 3 and 5 hours. I used it the way it suggested. For the first week, one at breakfast and one at lunch time. And then just one a day thereafter. I was telling a friend of mine about the Slim Shots, and she wanted to try one. She was also amazed at how quickly it curbed her appetite too! I lost a total of 6 pounds, and boy am I tickled. I have been trying to loose a few pounds and I finally succeeded.

(my photo, sorry it's not better)

from the Slim Shots website:

How does it work?

• SlimShots has been proven to increase the feeling to satiety [i.e., being full].
• Satiety is the long term effect of a meal—how long it takes to become hungry again and how much food is consumed at the next meal.
• General Explanation: SlimShots™ triggers the body’s natural appetite control mechanism, the ileal brake, satisfying users for long periods of time and in turn, allowing them to eat less, without sacrifice and without depriving them of their favorite foods.

How do I use SlimShots? For optimal effectiveness; take two shots per day the 1st week; one shot [9.3 ml container] at breakfast and one shot at lunch. Thereafter, one shot at breakfast should be sufficient. However, response rates can vary for individuals depending on different factors like body weight. SlimShots comes in mini shots [i.e., about the site of a coffee creamer], which can be kept at work, in the kitchen or in your purse. SlimShots can be taken as a shot or added to coffee, yogurt, cereal or shakes.

Who can take it?

• Anyone who wishes to manage their appetite and moderate their food intake.
• It’s suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
• It’s an ideal compliment to weight loss products except Alli.
• If taking any kind of medication, you should consult your doctor before taking SlimShots as a precaution.

Where have I been?

Nov 2nd:

Well, I have been at home, I have also been at my doctors, along with being at a friend's house having a yard sale. And while at home I have been working on my Brand New Acer Aspire 5517 Laptop that I won from CookiesKids.com getting it set-up and running.... and connected to my router so that I could get back on-line.

I really thought that I would have had internet withdrawal being off-line for nearly 2 weeks. But I didn't! I guess I kept busy having a yard sale for two different weekends, and a total of 4 days. I got rid of a lot of stuff and made a touch over $150.00. Could have been better, but I am very happy with the amount as my van is now in the shop as I have a gasoline leak. After the last day of the yard sale I stopped to put $20 worth of gas in my van and before I got the cap put back on I noticed a leak under the van. It was gasoline! I got scared and wanted to get my van home and get out of it. It was dripping pretty fast and so I haven't driven it since the 24th of October.

I have a new neighbor, she has two dogs just like me. One is a Chihuahua and the other is this sweet female all black dog, named Midnight, that I feel so sorry for. There are times that she leaves the dog out for 36+ hours at a time, with no shelter, no water, and no food. Like right now Midnight is outside, it's dark, 44 degrees and who knows how long she will leave midnight outside tonight. Midnight is so sweet, and she wanted some loving. Each time I go outside I always talk to her and many times I go over and pet her and she doesn't want me to stop. I am so tempted to call our local humane society and see if there is anything they can do. it's so cruel to leave a dog outside with no shelter, food or water.

My local newspaper is having a Dog Idol and the 12 finalist will be professional photographed and put into a calendar. I've entered my two babies using these pictures: Well i ahd planned on uploading some pictures, but I guess i don't have them on this new laptop yet. Sorry.


Nov 3rd:

The mechanic called today and informed that my alternator is bad. I had noticed the amp meter jumping around, but duh.... did not associate that with the alternator. guess the gas leak was more on my mind. So now I have to come up with $400 as that is what the bill is coming too so far. Yikes! Not sure what I am going to do. hat more than 1/2 of what I survive on in a month. Vehicles, what a pain they can be. Just like a computer. Great when they work properly and pain when they don't.


Doing some web browsing... instead of getting to my backed up e-mail I found this site with some very strange pictures, but beware some are not for the young or the frigid.
