    September 17, 2011 by barbara

    Before I bought my current apartment, I used to rent.  It was not easy to find a suitable place and my husband and I would scour the newspaper looking for rental properties.  It was a stressful experience especially when the unit we were staying needed to be vacated quickly as the current owner had sold it.  If you or someone you know and are looking for apartments for rent in Calgary,  you may want to check out RentCalgary.com.

  5. My To-Do List

    September 13, 2011 by barbara

    Things have been pretty hectic for the past week.  There was a get-together over the weekend, dinner with friends, errands to run and not to mention grocery shopping.  Besides all that, I need to help a friend to look for life insurance online quotes and also try to make this DIY Citrus Salt Scrub.  I saw this fantastic recipe at Pinterest ( via http://www.kristanlynn.com)  it looks pretty easy to make.  If it turns out good, I think I would make a few jars for my girlfriends whom I would be meeting next month.  If you would like to give it a try, check out the recipe below.

    You will need:

    1 cup of sea salt

    1/4 cup almond oil (can substitute olive oil or vegetable oil)

    1/2 tsp lemon juice (or zest)

    1/2 tsp orange zest
    scrub

    Mix:

    Firstly,  mix the oil and sea salt together  (Add a bit of oil at a time, you may not need all that is called for!)

    Add orange zest.

    Drizzle the lemon juice over the salt and oil mix ((you do not want too much lemon juice, or else your mixture will become a watery consistency.)

    Mix well.

    How to exfoliate:

    Clean body as normal in shower.
    Just before getting out, apply salt scrub in a firm circular motion all over body.
    Concentrating on those knees and elbows
    Rinse and pat dry with towel.

    Here is a bowl which I would love to have.  It is the Obol Original Crispy Bowl which is designed to ensure that the cereal we are eating will not turn soggy.  You know how it is that sometimes when you leave the cereal too long in the bowl to attend to a phone call or some household chores, the cereal will turn soggy when you finally have the time to continue eating?  Well, with this bowl, you can enjoy your meal till the last bite because it has a little divider and a handle at the bottom to keep the milk or soup at a perfect angle.  This bowl is great for those who want to eat in bed or while watching a movie.  Obol is made from food safe BPA free unbreakable polypropylene and dishwasher safe. Well now I can eat my cereal while reading up on ach payment without worrying that my food will become soft.
