There’s a pill for everything nowadays and there’s also a chart of everything too – top rated moisturiser, top rated shampoo and what did I spot today in a magazine left at a coffee shop where I’d gone to grab a beverage and escape from the office for a while – the top rated diet […]

Should I laugh or should I cry at what my secret santa bought me?

We had a kris kringle at work last month at the Christmas party. I didn’t know whether or not to be offended with what I got – weight loss pills. I’ve put on a few pounds over the last couple of months but nothing that I thought would warrant going to this extreme. […]



My dog used to be man’s best friend but not so much any more

The vet told me that the best weight loss supplements available for my overweight dog is exercise. He’s also put him on a low fat food too. And no more treats. He’s not going to like me much when I don’t bring in a treat for him when I bring in a […]

I’m not the best sleeper so I decided to try some alternatives to help me get to sleep. The best sleep aid I found was ylang ylang oil that I put in an oil burner in my room. It helped me relax and I had the best night’s sleep I’d had in ages. […]

I’d rather go hungry than suffer the pain

Looking for alternatives to the obvious answer

Jan 20th, 2010 | By Eveloped Journalist | Category: Business Acumen

Starvation is a fast weight loss but I love food too much to ever deprive myself of it and hopefully I’ll never be in a position where it’s out of my control. So that means that I have to actually do something else if I want to lose weight. I’m no good at diets […]



Being educated the old fashioned has its perks so get some vacation!

Jan 5th, 2010 | By Eveloped Journalist | Category: Business Acumen

I went back to college at night a few years ago and worked really hard to get my degree. I was talking to a colleague recently who told me that they’d had to fire a guy in one of the regional offices because he’d lied about his qualifications. Turns out his degree […]
