Music! Amazon! Alexa!

So, so, so excited. And have done a bit of spontaneous dancing --- which I when it happens and it just happened. No money involved! (though this happened because (1) I have an Amazon Prime account - since 2005 and (2) got an Amazon Echo / Alexa and gave it to my hubbie.

Been wanting to play music by voice command - and found out Amazon has just allowed two folks to share one Echo. Since I buy most of the family's music - being able to access my music is huge!

So, So, So Excited!

My Must List (for fixing my current frustrations)
I must go to bed earlier. It's been a focus all summer and fall so far.
I must drink enough water.
I must do some yoga nearly every single day.

Done with Day One. Finally.

Strange but this is where I found info about cutting back on what I call junk mail. And with the Christmas holiday approaching, the amount of catalogs coming is sky rocketing. Keeping the junk so I can opt of the catalogs here:  DMAChoice.org

Skin

Life gets trickier when skin is unhappy. Have been spending lots of Internet research in efforts to get smarter. And so this post is to save some of that knowledge.

Skin has an ACID MANTLE. It's pH is at or below 5.5.  Not a lot of info. If you have some, do let me have it.

(All of this was launched with my skin everywhere itching about
