The Challenge and The Dresses You Requested

I forgot to mention yesterday that the owner of my Curves advised that I try out a gluten-free diet for the next 90 days during my first run at the Curves Complete program.  She is suggesting I do that because I told her about the article I read that discussed wheat intolerance being associated with chronic fatigue syndrome.... which I have.  She thought that since I'm "tweaking" my diet anyway, that it might be a great time to try this gluten-free gig and see how I feel.  I couldn't agree more!!!  But where do I start??? 

I first started online.... OF COURSE!!!  Here's what I came up with:  http://www.wholegrainscouncil.org/whole-grains-101/gluten-free-whole-grains

Then I found:  http://glutenfreegirl.com/how-to-live-gluten-free/ and http://simplygluten-free.com/ and http://www.acidalkalinediet.com/high-alkaline-foods-12-perfect-foods-for-optimal-health

And great tips here:  http://www.sheknows.com/health-and-wellness/articles/803172/six-tips-to-live-glutenfree

Finally, a few new blogs that I have FALLEN IN LOVE WITH:  http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/2009/03/cooking-gluten-free-on-budget-brown.html

Now... I think I'm well on my way.  Which is a good thing because Monday is almost here!!!  Here's a little glimpse at why all of this is so important to me!  Below are pics of all my favorite wedding dresses (so far).  I'm hoping that I will be able to get one of these beauties off the rack come June... what are the chances???  Anyway, to those of you who requested pics... here you go!!! :)  I'm thinking this won't be the first wedding dress post!  LOL!  And while these dresses aren't in any particular order, I will say that my very favorite is the first one, but I would honestly take ANY that are pictured!!!

You Can Thank Scandalous

Alright, this is a long story that I'll sum up right here: I'm giving away one of my bottles of Gun Metal Pink FLASH (also known as My Private Jet by OPI). That will leave me with only two bottles, so it's almost as important as giving one of you a kidney... if I had three kidneys. Ok... so.... one day I posted a blog about my all-time favorite nail polish My Private Jet , after seeing someone else's post of the same polish that didn't look anything near the polish I have. The one I saw was a holo and mine WAS NOT. Mine was an AWESOME gun metal pink! So I posted a question as to why my My Private Jet looked so different. Well, I got some VERY helpful responses from some VERY helpful bloggers informing me that there are MANY versions of this particular polish and that no one had yet heard of MY version. I even got a request from Scandalous over at Scandalously Polished to let her know if I find another one, and I did find another three, so I sent one to her. Now my ...
