Picked up some new skin treatments

by

A few weeks ago when Chris and I were shopping in a pharmacy I decided to try some new skin products. I had wanted to buy a mask – you know one of those skin purifying pore cleansing masks. I used to use them when I was a teenager and when I first moved to Toronto, but then I stopped. My skin always felt so great after giving it a treatment.

So Chris and I were walking around the skin cream and acne treatment aisle and I found two masks that I wanted to try. One is a mask my St. Ives that you leave on till it dries and then peel off and the other is kind of like a mud mask.

The second treatment is by Biore. It’s their self heating mask and it’s fantastic! It’s a white paste with tiny blue dots in it that you apply with slightly moist fingers. As the formula gets wet it heats up and as you massage this heat mask into your face it cleans and purifies your skin.

Have you tried it? If you haven’t but want to try it I recommend using it at night just before you go to bed. The heat massage is very relaxing. You’ll love it.





Need inspiration for celebrity blogging

by

You know, I’ve got a celebrity related blog, but I haven’t written in it much lately.

Oh there’s lots of celebrity news that I could be reporting, but I think when just about all the young stars and their dogs were in drug rehab I just felt “What’s the point” in regards to writing about it.

Even though I haven’t written in that blog much this year at all it’s still quite popular. It gets a lot of hits every day. I really should get it going again. I guess I’ll have to try to find some inspiration and hope that the young stars stay out of trouble.

Strange code in my WordPress files

by

A few weeks ago I noticed that some of my wordpress blogs said that I was using version 2.5. Odd … I haven’t upgraded to the newest version of WordPress yet and the blogs that said I was using 2.5 weren’t even upgraded to 2.33 yet either.

I think I’ve finally figured out what happened. On April 10th I must have been hit by a bug … maybe through my FTP program or by visiting someones website. Several files in each of my blogs (those that say version 2.5 and all the rest) have a line of code in them that wasn’t there before.

So the last few days have been spent going over each file, and all the files on my CMS run website as well as another website to remove the added code. I’m almost done repairing the files. Unfortunately the blogs that say they are using the highest version of WP still say that even though I’ve cleaned all the files.

Weird eh?

Another thing that I’ve come to realize this past few days is that I need more ram in my laptop as I’ve had tons of windows open in my browser as well as several programs running at once as I’ve searched out the affected files on my sites and the computer just gets slower and slower.

I know how to upgrade a desktop computer but I’ve never upgraded a laptop. This should be fun!

Anyone else find odd lines of code at the top of their WP files – even theme files – in the last while? Maybe there’s a new bug going around. Whatever it is my antivirus program didn’t catch it!

How to get a better sleep?

by

Considering that I’ve been having so much trouble sleeping lately I’ve tried to come up with some ideas that will help me sleep better.

Now, unlike a lot of people that have trouble sleeping I also have a chronic disease that causes me pain – especially in the evenings. It’s Crohn’s disease and it seems once I have a couple of meals in me my pain only increases – hence the more pain at night thing.

I can’t do anything about eating as I’ve got to eat if I want to live, but I can try to manage my pain better.

We have a dog so taking her out for long walks at least once a day if not twice a day should help me get some exercise and that should help tire me out.

I have a lot of websites and I tend to work on them pretty much all the time. I think that from now on I should turn the computer off by midnight if not earlier. That will give my mind some time to settle down.

Now one cool thing that I could get that might help me sleep would be a massage chair. Eh? Wouldn’t that be great? I could sit in it and have a massage shortly before bedtime and maybe, just maybe I’d get a better sleep.

Do you have any other ideas that might help me get some sleep?

Finally got a little bit of sleep

by

I can’t believe I’m still going. I think I’m like the energizer bunny. Honestly … I’ve only had about three hours sleep in the last 24 hours and haven’t averaged much more than that over the last week per day.

I did manage to sleep for two hours early this evening. That was only after I took Midnight out for a long walk. She needed the exercise and I needed to make myself tired.

There are some great walking and biking trails in our area so we headed for one of our favorites. We even strayed off the trail into an area being developed for commercial real estate. All in all I think we did a five mile walk.

I’m due for a seriously good sleep tonight, let me tell ya!
