I just can’t sleep on my own. I haven’t been able to for almost 5 years now. I will deprive myself of sleep for days, and when I think I’m so exhausted that I’m about to drop, I will lay down and try to close my eyes. Fifteen minutes later, I’m staring at the ceiling, counting sheep. It sucks. I try not to take sleeping pills every night, because they give you that horrible “morning after” hangover. I tried all natural “Alluna”, but it’s made with pure Valerian root…and have you ever smelled valerian root?? Not a good time. Warm milk doesn’t work. Ambien is addictive. Maybe I should start on the great, American novel in my off hours.

We’re newlyweds, and don’t want to jump the gun in terms of buying a house, but I just can’t wait to stop renting!! We don’t know ANYTHING about purchasing a home though, and we’re both terrified of being taken advantage of. I did find a great site to help you choose a location for your new home…it’s http://houseandhome.msn.com/
You can even put in 2 different cities and contrast and compare the cost of living, weather, etc.
People say that you come out looking the same whether you spend 12 dollars or 120…and that’s just not true. Expensive hair care products and styling is really what makes the difference…you just can’t go cheap when it comes to your hair. I’ve always had very long hair, and used to cheap out with Suave and White Rain. Phew…the difference is amazing. I splurged once for an expensive haircut, and the stylist washed and conditioned me with Back to Basics Raspberry Almond. After ONE use, the consistency of my hair was completely different! And the more I use it, the better it gets!
