Bikini Weather
Bikini weather is coming sooner than I anticipated. Not that I'm not longing for warmer weather, but my winter eating habits have created a bit of a problem. I'm ready for bikini weather, but my body is not. I've been kinda sorta working out, as in playing Wii games and doing my Wii Fit work-outs a few times a week. Unfortunately, my mid-section continues to be a bit larger than I want it to be so I bit the bullet and joined a gym. I've been going pretty steadily.... that is until I tried out the Boot Camp Class. After that I took a week off from the gym because I could barely walk up and down my stairs at home let alone work out. Now I'm fully healed, staying clear of Boot Camp, and working out at my own pace. I'll keep you updated on my success or failure... I'm rooting for a success, but I know I like to eat and I refuse to diet.

Perfect Teeth
Perfect teeth have been a bit of an obsession to me, as a kid I begged my mom to let me get braces. Unfortunately, braces were never covered in my dental insurance and no one was shelling out $2,000 - $5,000 for something superficial. My teeth are not that bad, well to me they are, but to my mom they are find so I guess that's why she never thought it was necessary. Now that I have a real job, I'm getting the perfect teeth I've always dreamed of and I'm going to share my experiences right here. I just had my first appointment with my dentist to discuss the options (there was only one for me - something clear I'm can't do metal I'm 23), what to expect, and how it works. I'm going with ClearCorrect (think Invisaglin) because that is what my dentist uses, but the expected perk is that it features an Anti-Bacterial Surface. If you have ever had braces like these please share your experiences in the comments section, I'd love to hear from you guys.
