Why you need a Massage!

Massage is good for so many things. The next time you need something to do instead of shopping, going to the movies, or going out to eat, make an appointment for a beautiful massage.

Massage releases growth hormones, flushes out toxins, improves circulation, drains the lymphatic system, and gives you an overall sense of well-being.

There are a myriad different types of massage:

*Thai massage- Yogic assisted stretches usually done on a map with loose fitting clothes. This types of massage incorporates range of motion stretches which add flexibility to the recipient as well as the provider!

*Swedish massage- Swedish is one of the primary types of massage asked for which is an assortment of smooth gliding strokes, tapping, kneading, compression. This is for those who just like a soothing relaxation type of massage.

*Deep tissue massage-this is excellent for those who are graduating into a different type of massage to loosen up those nagging knots and tense muscles. It is done with more intense pressure and oftentimes the use of elbows, fists, thumb pressure points, and back walking.

*Reflexology-is just a fancy term for pressure points of the feet and hands. However, do not underestimate the advantages of this type of massage. Did you know there is an organ directly affected by pressing on the different areas of the feet? You can sometimes tell where the body is forming a disease just by paying attention to the area on your feet that is sore and/or painful!

And Remember-Nothing looks better on you than a smile!



Love yourself! It's the best thing you can do.

Saturday Mornings!

I Woke up in Love This Morning! Saturday Mornings!

http://youtube.com/watch?v10blSibcro8 This is the Partridge Family!

I wonder if you remember this. I was 12. It was 1972 and I am the oldest of 5 girls. Saturday morning was a real treat. Saturday morning was an ongoing rivalry between Michael Jackson and Donnie Osmond. Don't laugh, Donnie was some hot stuff in those days.

Then it was time for a little School House Rock. This was to teach us the process of what goes on in Washington. My favorite was Youtube- Schoolhouse Rock- How a Bill Becomes a Law! Copy and paste for your personal entertainment.

Then it was time for American Bandstand. Dick Clark truly did not age until last year. hehe! And last but not least it was followed by the SOOOOUUUUULLLL TRAAAIIIINNNN!

Happiness Continued!

I just got into contact with a few people who I haven't seen for a very long time, friends and family. I can't believe how much better I feel just making plans for the road trip home to rekindle some much needed hugs, kisses, and memories! I just can't wait. I am in a good place mentally, I'm in the middle of my life, "old enough not to be young, and too young to be old". Kathleen Bates (Fried Green Tomaotoes) This year my goal is to make myself as happy as I possibly can. And everyone is going to think, "well don't we all try that"? And the answer is no, I remember times when I was sad and too busy being sad to have my focus on something positive,but now my decision is to be Happy! Not when I win $13,000,000 dollars from the Lottery. Not when I find that "Soul Mate", that elusive concept that everyone needs someone to be complete. No waiting for the prince, Become the Princess. Time's awastin" so...let the Gratitude simmer in your soul. Maybe life could be better, but just for today, I will live it like it's Christmas. Just for today! Love You, Babbette

Famous People!

I wrote to 2 famous people this week. Should I be feeling something different? I had to say something to Vincent Gallo about his Indie film "Buffalo '66". He looks a little like Joaquin Phoenix and has this rough sexiness about him that only someone like myself can really appreciate. However, after reading his writing I'm wondering if I haven't made a huge mistake. He has one section where he's actually auctioning himself off to any paying female with $100,000 on hand for the night. I'm sure this is a big joke but who knows. Men will have sex for free so... And then I saw that he had hand painted some $10 t shirts and was trying to auction them off for anywhere between $160 to $1100, you've got to be kidding me.

The next person I sent an email to is the author of "18 seconds". Supposedly, the title was written in reference to our short term memory before death. Supposedly right before we die, there are 18 seconds of short term memory which can be accessed by a pscyhic who can actually pick up on your energy. If you haven't read the book, I would strongly suggest it. And by accessing some of his information online, I found that there are at least 2 other books written as a sequel. That's fantastic!

But I was wondering just how many people must send their emails to people like this. Both were sent as compliments. But unfortunately, I hate to be viewed as a lower form of life and do not often waste my time from fear of being considered a "groupie". I'm not the kind of person who would approach someone and tell them how much I love their work. I would just think it and smile and say hello.

Why do they stop making it?

have you ever noticed that once you get really hooked on a product, they stop making it?
What is the deal with that exactly? I don't know if you remember the original
smell of Calgon in the bottle. It was mint green in color and smelled like the ocean!
Absolutely addictive the smell was so enticing!

Anyway, they just stopped making it. I ran around to every Kmart, CVS, Walgreens, you name it I looked for it everywhere. Within a month Calgon came out with an entire line of products. All of them bathwash except none of them were it. There was peach, strawberry, cucumber, mint, ocean breeze, cotton, you name it they had it all except for the one I loved.

Edy's has disappointed me to no avail. Edy's was the only one except for Friendly's to sell a sorbet or sherbet with chocolate chips. Not just any sorbet, but raspberry sorbet with dark semi sweet bitter chocolate! What a combination! I had to dig into the freezer for you on every occasion because I'm thinking everyone loved it like I did and they just couldn't keep it on the shelf.

Now I'm prone to buy my own sorbet and mix in some dark chocolate chips.

Just got back from Pizzeria Uno. I went specifically for the apple, gorgonzola cheese, crispy chicken salad. And guess what?

They stopped making it!

Things Most People Don't Know About Me!

Most people don't know that I have an aversion to football. Just never got into it.
It seemed to be the "prime time" enemy! How do you compete with
a football game? Who wants to. If he loves the game so much, I
probably won't like him anyway. Never loved a spectator! That
being said, you can put on a soccer game for a full hour and fifteen
minutes before I complain. Soccer players are beautiful, you can
see their legs, their form, their aggression, and their skill all at the same time!

So I've established that I'm not a sports person.
I do love to dance, do yoga, be anywhere at all around water, eat really good food, and hang out.
I am very good at interior design. I totally understand the concepts of different designs and love
the process. Sometimes people take a little while before I can get them to trust me but once it's
done, it's Golden!

Everyone knows that I love to read but just how much I love to read, they could never guess. It
is my saving grace. I love to learn! I have a passion for it. Isn't it wonderful that you can get up
and learn something new everyday.

Welcome to the Learning School! The Earth! Your Life! Your prime Example!

Most people don't know that I play baseball when I first meet people! The first 30 minutes of
our conversation. I wait for the person to say something that is a "dealbreaker". Or do
something that is a "dealbreaker". Something like, talk bad about an ex. Now that's always a
good attention getter for men who have nothing else interesting going for them. Wow, they can
knock their ex. And remember ladies, if he's talking bad about her, he will talk bad about you
too! Besides, this is not interesting!

Other deal breakers might be: chewing with your mouth open, picking yourself in any way in
front of people (take the grooming to the bathroom). Talking too loud, talking incessantly, and
especially trying to be "interesting" when you should be "interested"! Know what I mean. If I
ask you what you do for a living, try to keep it at a minimum, your job is only interesting to you!

I wonder if it's too much to ask for people to actually know how to "share". That is, while I'm
talking, you listen. And I will do the same for you! And sometimes we could just both be quiet!
Comfortably quiet, for long periods of time!

Then I will know that you're sane. That you're not just talking because you're nervous or
because you somehow think I want to hear every little tiny detail of your life.
Somewhere in the Middle God Please!
