I have found that yes indeed a drink helps, but aside from that I have been practicing T’ai Chi, reflexology, and I have bought a little life saving treasure: A SCENTPORT Home Fragrance Sleep – Lavender Vanilla room air freshener plug in. This little device disperses the relaxing aroma of Lavender and Vanilla into my bedroom air circulated by my A/C and fan and let me tell you together they all work amazingly for me!

Heres a little insight on my techniques:

T’ai Chi is a combination of moving yoga and meditation, it is also proven to reduce stress! Aside from reducing stress, it also requires you to fill your lungs to their max capacity and in turn improves your circulation and blood flow to your brain. In addition practicing T’ai Chi tones your body as well as strengthens your core to improving your balance.

Reflexology is the physical act of applying pressure to the feet and hand with specific thumb, finger and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion. it is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands with a premise that such work effects a physical change to the body. It really does work I promise!!

Bath & Body Works Lavender Vanilla SCENTPORT Home Fragrance Sleep – Lavender Vanilla room air freshener plug in, and included in that same line is: Lavender Vanilla bath salts, body lotion, aromatherapy pillow spray, sugar scrub, message oil (amazing), scented candles, and home fragrance oil. Since I have been using the plug in I swear my sleep has been deeper and easier to achieve (sounds crazy I know but it completely TRUE)! I do not think I will EVER use any other air freshener especially in my bedroom.

If you need the ultimate relaxation PLEASE try these techniques, they will work for you as they have worked for me (and I am a tough cookie when it comes to relaxing). If you have any tried and true tips to share, please do by leaving a comment so we all can benefit from each others techniques!!!

I start with the BEST deep cleansing shampoo which is Herbal Essences Drama Clean Degunkify Tingling Shampoo from the Herbal Essences Drama Clean line. It is hands down the best shampoo EVER! It makes my hair light, clean, and smell GREAT, even the next day. Then I follow the “degunking process” with volumizing from the Herbal Essences Body Envy line.

With these two products you can achieve the greatest and cleanest hair ever with a touch of volume! I love Herbal Essence’s products!!! Check them out and experiment with all their products, I promise you, you will not be sorry!

For starters, ALL the character roles are played to perfection by all with the main characters being Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson whom also started in how to lose a guy in 10 days together and I must say they work AWESOME together and every movie they put out is a hit, including this one!

The movie description (provided by amazon) is as follows:

Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson go for the gold (and the diamonds emeralds and rubies) as a just-divorced couple who bicker and banter their way through an adventure- and laugh-packed undersea treasure hunt. McConaughey is Finn in love with his ex (Hudson) and in deep with gangster Bigg Bunny. After eight years of searching Finn gets a clue to the whereabouts of the Queen?s Dowry a fabulous fortune that mysteriously disappeared in the Caribbean in 1715. Now all he has to do is get the gold get the girl and get going before Bigg Bunny gets him. Directed by Andy Tennant (Hitch) Fool?s Gold glitters with danger action romance comedy great one-liners ? and a great time to be had by all!

You can also watch the movie with English, French, or Spanish subtitles so nobody misses out! It also come in DVD: Fool’s Gold (Widescreen Edition), DVD: Fool’s Gold [Blu-ray], and DVD: Fool’s Gold (Full-Screen Edition).

This movie is a must see for comedy/romantic comedy lovers!

The problems that Apple was experiencing on the release date of the new iPhone, such as previous customers updating their version of the iPhone and the new activation of the new iPhones were resolved that same day. As of today no one is REALLY complaining or coming forward with problems with the new iPhone or the updated version downloads and hopefully it stays that way.

The new iPhone was released on Friday July 11 2008, and during that weekend OVER one million iPhones were sold! Go Apple!!!

If you have no idea what the iPhone is or haven’t seen one or played around with one, get in to the nearest Apple store to experience the iPhone. It is something else that is for sure, but they make smaller cell phones with similar capabilities such as Samsung for the sprint network has the Instinct which is extremely similar to the iPhone and LG has one out there too (they are cheaper alternatives and will fit a bit better in your pocket.

Make sure to do your research before buying a phone as there are SO many out there and cheaper versions of each, so you are sure to find one that fits your needs and your budget!!!

If you had already had a previous version of the iPhone you could update your iPhone with the operating version on the NEW phone HOWEVER with everyone updating their phone and people standing  in LONG lines for hours for the new ones that put tremendous stress on Apples computer systems and in turn enabled previous customers to update and new iPhone holders to activate their phones for up to 30 hours!!!

I have a friend with the previous version of the iPhone and he couldn’t update OR use his phone to make a call for the entire day of Friday!!! Not too good for Apple I must say!

I will post more information on the New Apple iPhone in the coming days…

When you purchase the package you will get a microphone, drum set complete with drum sticks, and a guitar. The game comes loaded with a wide variety of songs and as you get better and become a more skilled guitar or drum player or lead singer, you unlock more songs and more bands, for instance we unlocked Metallica Enter Sandman last night after playing for hours.

We also have a band (the game will let you enter your own name or you can have it randomly generate a name for you) and you can play “on tour” in which you play every song on the list and get rankings after every performance, assuming you don’t get booed off the stage.

The game contains all types of rock music and there are 4 skill levels to play. I would recommend it to ANY one of ANY age!!! It is one of the greatest interactive games yet!! Rock Band can be bought for the Nintendo Wii, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360. Try Rock Band inside a store today!!!

First off we were NOT charged for our FIRST checked bag, however we were charged $25 dollars for our second checked bag. So basically you were allowed 1 checked bag free of charge and 2 carry on items, at least on Delta.

We were also served FREE coke cola products, water, and coffee, as well peanuts, crackers, and cookies. The plane wasn’t as crowded as everyone said they would be, and all needs were met before, during, and after the flight.

So I am not sure what other airlines are doing but thus far it doesn’t seem as though Delta has changed anything.

I just bought the Goody CUSHION: So Fabulous Oval Cushion Brush and it is truly amazing. The first time I put the brush through my hair it glided through so smoothly and it didn’t give me ANY static what so ever which was a HUGE bonus as that is the exact reason I haven’t used a brush (as opposed to a comb) on my hair for years. The shine it gave my hair was unbelievable! I love the So Fabulous cushion brush as it is just amazing and I would most defiantly tell my best friend to buy this brush!!!

Goody states that their Goody CUSHION: So Fabulous Oval Cushion Brushes are ion infused to control frizz and come in fun, bold, color combinations. The oval cushion brush is ideal for controlling frizz while detangling and drying hair.

Other great brushes Goody puts out that offer the same ion infusing benefits :

Styling Therapy – add+shine Cushion Brush

Styling Therapy – reduce+dandruff Cushion Brush

Styling Therapy – protect+color Cushion Brush

Goody Styling Therapy Jojoba Cushion Brush

Goody Styling Therapy Copper Cushion Brush
