Don't be a Goof!

So, in efforts to keep myself busy and occupied with things other then my health..... I have been doing a lot of pinning on pinterest.com.  There I have been able to connect with other PCOS glam gals and find tips on diet, exercise, and crafts.  There is so much to do on the website it a total time suck, beware.... don't say I didn't warn you!


So last night I decided to do 2 things.


1. Go to Trader Joe's and get the following ingredients for a morning smoothie ritual I intend to start.  (I'm off to a good start I had one today, hehe)  


Blythe's Glam Gal Smoothie Recipe 
 I made this in my Magic Bullet, you could use a blender too.


*Almond Milk Unsweetened  (many benefits to almond-milk - Check out the link)
*Honey - organic clover
* 2 ice cubes
*Organic Non-Fat Vanilla Yogurt  (tip: freeze in ice cube trays for fast servings)
*Half of a small banana - I froze overnight
*handful of frozen organic red raspberries - (check out that link did you know red raspberry is good for fertility)
*2 organic whole frozen strawberries

It was very tasty - even my husband loved it.

2.  I decided to make a craft I saw while doing some laundry.  It's for monogrammed soap dispensers.  We have recently repainted our bathroom, and I thought this would be a fun way to spice things up.

Here is the link I used for instructions: Soap Dispenser

Everything was going okay and I was at the last step.  We didn't have goo gone as suggested - but we did have Goof Off 2(to remove adhesive).  It was working wonderfully I was almost done and then it happened...... My hands turned bright red,were stinging in pain, and broke out in a rash that was starting travel up my arm!  I freaked and made my first call ever to Poison Control Hotline.  They were very kind and I followed the instructions they gave me and all is well now.  I just was so surprised at how quickly I broke out, I had not had a reaction like that before.  Lesson for the day: ALWAYS read the bottle before using... I was supposed to be wearing gloves with it and I hadn't.

I think my lil craft turned out well though... what do you think?
