Her Facebook page has reached 200 followers and she decided to give out some makeup for it! How Cool Is That! CAN YOU TELL I'M EXCITED?!?!?<br />
<br />
She has some awesome looks and you should really check her out for that alone. The giveaway is a nice bonus though.<br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Hello to everyone!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s
the blog you’ve all been waiting for (I’m sure), blog #2!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wasn’t really sure about what to write about, since there
isn’t really a theme to this blog, per se.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That was intentional, but not having a guideline makes everything open
and makes choosing a topic harder.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So,
while I was sitting around, not doing things I really should be doing, it came
to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I’ll write my next blog about
Chia Fresca!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What the funk is Chia
Fresca you say?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m getting to
that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m sure the blog title gives it away, but I’ll explain
anyway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Chia seeds are a new diet fad
that many people say can help you in your weight loss efforts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(By many people I mean blogs, books, and TV
personalities who are so memorable I can’t remember which one’s were talking
about it.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, those are the exact same
seeds that people paste to those clay Chia Pets!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may be thinking, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“You’re going to eat that?!?!”</i> Yes!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yes, I am!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Actually, it’s yes I
have.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(While doing research for this blog post I found that the
official Chia Pets website actually sells chia seeds specifically for you to
ingest!) <a href="http://www.chia.com/">See! The official site sells them!</a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Chia seeds aren’t just for weight loss though.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are an excellent source of Omega 3’s,
protein, fiber, iron, and more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
fiber is supposed to help you feel fuller longer, but that’s not all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The chia seeds absorb water like crazy!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From what I read they absorb up to 9 times
their weight in water!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, if you soak
them for 30 minutes or so in water they turn into what is called chia gel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, it sounds odd and it is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Imagine eating/drinking a teeny tiny version
of those balls they add to smoothies at Fruit Land. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hate those balls from Fruit Land, but the chia seeds are
kind of interesting when they turn gelatinous and are small enough to chug down
without much notice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After all that,
down to the business of Chia Fresca.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After deciding to try to add chia to my diet for weight loss
and for the benefits of extra iron and Omega 3’s, I Googled chia seed recopies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Something I saw in most of the websites was Chia
Fresca.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s basically water mixed with
a small amount of juice and Chia seeds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So far, I’ve only tried one recipe, but I love it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am not a big water drinker and this Chia Fresca recipe is
good enough that I am not only getting in chia seeds everyday, I’ve upped my
water intake significantly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve
included the link to the website where I found the recipe and you can read
about Chia Seeds and the original recipe there. <a href="http://www.chiaseedrecipes.com/chia-fresca.php">Chia Fresca Recipe from chiaseedrecipes.com</a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The recipe, finally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Mix together ½ a cup of pomegranate juice, ¼ or so of lemon juice, 1
tablespoon of chia seeds, and 9 cups of water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Put the chia seeds in last, because they will stick to the bottom a bit
if you don’t.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once you’ve added all the
ingredients together, mix them to blend the mixture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mix it at least once again after 15
minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will need to stir or if possible
shake the container of the mixture before each use, because the seeds settle at
the bottom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span></span>The original recipe calls for ½ a cup of lemon juice, but I
found that ¼ of a cup was all I got from the one lemon I bought and it added a
nice lemon flavor without overpowering the pomegranate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The second time I made the recipe I forgot to
buy a lemon and just used some bottled lemon juice I had in the fridge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used the full half a cup and it was too
strong.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, to be honest, I did NOT
like the taste of the bottled juice in the Fresca at all!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It tasted like <b style="font-family: inherit;"><i>BLECH</i></b>!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I tried adding more pomegranate juice and
cutting it with more water, but nothing really got rid of the odd flavor that
the bottled juice had added to the Fresca. After drinking about half of it, I dumped it. I know that it's wasteful and I feel bad about that, but it was either that or be turned off to the Fresca for good. I actually like the Fresca enough that I didn't want to ruin it by forcing myself to finish that batch.</div>

Overall, this recipe is a win win for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m getting in the chia seeds in a quick and

hey, one step at a time right?</div>

Today is the day.
Yup, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">THE</i> day. The big big day that start’s out the rest of
my life; or something like that. Apparently
today is the day I start a blog and realize just how lousy a speller I am. Maybe it’s just how lousy a typist I am… Thank goodness for spell check. Although, I must say that MS Word’s other
suggestions can bite me. I <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">want</i> things to look like this, stupid! Or
is it to look this stupid...? However...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
We all know that this is where I’m supposed to spout off
about myself and who I am, but I don’t really want to do that. How much do you share over the internet? What’s safe what’s not? Will I be a total extrovert posting pictures
of myself flossing or is everything cloak and dagger and I’m actually a man
from Poughkeepsie in an internet café downing octo-shots of espresso and
hallucinating from the caffeine overdose?
<span class="st"> <b style="color: #20124d;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">¿</i></b></span><b style="color: #20124d;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> ?¿?What
to believe?<span class="st"> ¿</span>?<span class="st"> ¿</span></i></b><span style="color: #20124d;"> </span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Those questions are a part of why I’m not doing a big intro,
but I’m sure over time you’ll find out about me and who I am through what I
post. At the very least you’ll find out
who I <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">think</i> I am, which may or may
not be accurate depending on the accuracy of my own self perceptions. *Some are somewhat warped in my opinion, so I
don’t even trust my opinion of me much.
Wow, that was convoluted.*</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Eventually, I will fill out the “About Me” bio thingy with
some “facts” and such. Personally, I
would be irritated at a blogger who shared nothing personal on a personal blog;
seems to defeat the purpose to some extent to me.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
I’m not sure what this blog will turn out to be. I think it will have my ponderings (I was
going to put musings, but everyone says that don’t they? Then I started
thinking, “What exactly <i>are</i> musings?”
That got old fast, so ponderings it is {Still doesn’t seem right…}),
life observations, possibly personal anecdotes, maybe even reviews of other
blogs and/or stuff that I buy. The good
Lord knows how this will turn out, because <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I</i>
sure don’t. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
So I think this is enough for the first installment of this
blog. I could do more, but I have
personal obligations to attend to that may or may not include my family or work or the
authorities or a stomach pump due to that octo-shot…</div>
