My miracle cure for migraines??? for me, maybe!

In fall of 2011, I started, for some reason (mainly because I think my body is getting old!) to get migraines monthly.  I normally would get 1 -2 in a year.  So 1 every month SUCKED!!  I went to the doctor and got some advice from both her and my brother, Jim regarding vitamins and minerals that seem to help with migraines. My brother suffers from them very frequently and swears they help too.


What I have been taking is such -  Magnesium, Riboflavin (Vit B2) and Co-Q10.  Every nite and rarely do I miss a dose.  I am afraid to.  (Co-Q10 is very expensive, but I have noticed alot of BOGO at Walgreens on Vits)


So, I don't know if this truly is the reason I have been migraine free for the last 3-4 months, but I don't want to stop taking the vits to find out!  And, I don't know about you but those prescription drugs scare me.  They are not something to be taken lightly and if I can avoid any and all of them, that makes me happy.


So if you or someone you  know suffers as well, maybe let them in on my little secret.  I wouldn't wish a migraine even on my worst enemy.


I hope I just didn't jinx myself by posting this  :)

    Wow, Jenny, that is awesome!!! I have to try this. I have tried all different vitamin combinations but not this one...just the magnesium part...is the combo all included in one pill/bottle...also, what brand are you using? I am desperate...I used to just get 3-4 a year but for the last 2.5 years or so, get them monthly...but it seems more often since they can last off and on 8-11 days! I hate the prescriptions and I worry they are doing more harm than good...best wishes to stay on this track for you! Wish me luck!

Baby Back Ribs - the super easy way!

Image
This turned out to be a super easy way to have delicious baby back ribs during the week.  Normally, I would never attempt anything like this during the week because it would usually be a meal that would require that I  drag out the grill to do.  In this cold - getting really old, Wisconsin winter, I do not want to deal with the grill.  That's James' deal, not mine and if we waited till he got home we wouldn't be eating til 9pm!  (that's bedtime, silly!) Carol's Baby Back Ribs  1 rack of baby back ribs, cut into 3-4 rib sections. Salt/Pepper/Paprika BBQ Sauce In your slow cooker (oh, yes...I did forget to mention it uses the trusty SC) spray the sides down with cooking spray.  Place the ribs in the SC and cook on Low 8-10 hours  (high for 5-6).  After the allowed time to cook, take out ribs and place in pan.  Slather with your favorite BBQ sauce and cook in 350 oven for 30 minutes.   Yup! Its that easy...

Favorite things

2 of my recent additions to my favorite things.  First I will tell you about this product I came to know and actually is perfect for the dry skin our winters cause us to have.   SheaMoisture brand products This stuff in particular is what I am using now.  I use it daily as a facial moisturizer. It is sooo thick I store it upside down and have to take the cap off to squeeze any of it out.  It absorbs quickly and it has oats, aloe and Vitamin E in it to calm skin.  It has a pleasant smell...not too perfumey.  I also have a nice Olive and Green Tea body wash that I am using too. I don't think its for African skin only....I was wondering at first and I do think the company does make a lot of products for African skin and hair....though after looking for pictures online to post of this I am beginning to think I am the only white girl using this product!   The website it pretty nice. www.sheamoisture.com  I will need to check...

Stitch Fix. I tried it.

Image
Well I did it, finally.  I ordered my first Stitch Fix.  I have to say I am a bit disappointed and I was so excited and hopeful.  I did end up with a pair of jeans that I surprisingly like.  Length is long like I like and they are a dark wash.  Nice to have another pair to wear. (I have like 10 pairs, I wear one.)   I did tell MY STYLIST that I do not like short pants.  Too short and I will not wear.  She did take that into consideration and I was happy about that!   What I learned - I need to specify NO BLOUSES.  I do not wear them.  Becky told me they (Stitch Fix) likes blouses.  I do not.  Also, while the dress they sent me when I first looked at it was like UGH, but I tried it on and it was actually ok. But, I am not in the market for a dress right now. So it would hang in the closet. Just a note on the pictures.  I am sick with a nasty cold and really don't have...
