Normally, doing a review for flavored water wouldn’t be something I would consider but recently there have been some changes in my life and I need water more than ever.

Again and again, I tell everyone about the medical issues I’ve been having.  Well, I just don’t have it in me to talk about them again.  What I will say is that I was put on a very strict regimen of medication that I am to take three times a day-every day- at the exact same time.

Besides having to deal with the side effects of weight gain from all the meds combined, one of the medications prescribed causes dehydration.   There’s only so much water a person can drink without getting bored, and I’m a water drinker.

Did I mention the weight gain?  I know I did, but UGH.  I’m one of the founders of the fabulously popular Wii Mommies Community and it really is my job to be thin.  I lost a tremendous amount of weight and there is NO WAY I’m going through the humiliation I felt when I was heavier.

Years back, when I had my first son, I decided to try Scrapbooking.  I bought every decorative sticker, border and paper I could find and paid a fortune printing out all the digital photos I took.  As my newborn got older, I had less time to scrapbook and by baby number two, I was done completely.

I hated the fact that I didn’t have the drive to create scrapbooks, because I always found them to be a wonderful gift to my parents around the holidays.

Then I found Scrapblog.

Nine.  I was nine years old when Link came into my life.  It’s weird to think that 23 years ago, Nintendo created The Legend Of Zelda series.

My parents have always been fantastic about keeping up with the latest technology and so we had the first Zelda to ever come out.  I guess I’ve always been a gamer girl, I just didn’t realize it because it’s been in my life for so long.

I didn’t like too many different games, because I hate to lose and some of them just annoyed me but I remember spending HOURS playing Zelda, helping Link rescue Princess Zelda.  Here’s a fun fact – The name of the princess was inspired by Zelda Fitzgerald: “Zelda was the name of the wife of the famous novelist Francis Scott Fitzgerald. She was a famous and beautiful woman from all accounts, and I liked the sound of her name. So I took the liberty of using her name for the very first Zelda title,” Miyamoto (it’s creator) explained.

Now that I’m the parent, I make sure I keep myself and my family up to date with the latest technology, and I am a devoted Nintendo player.  Wii, DS, DSi- we have them all.  I love it so much I even co-founded The Wii Mommies website!

I hate my skin.  I hate it.  I’ve always had oily skin, which my mother tells me will greatly benefit me when I’m older, because I’ll get fewer wrinkles but I am so self conscious about the way I look that I wouldn’t ever let anyone (friends, boyfriends, husbands, etc lol…) touch my face.

A little while back, I had the opportunity to review the Clarisonic Plus Skin Care System & Spot Therapy Kit which was created by the primary inventor of the famous Sonicare toothbrush.  The Therapy Kit is pure heaven.  You can check out that review here.

If you read me often (or at all, which you must since you’re seeing this), you may know I travel constantly.  I’m either at a conference or headed back up North to visit my family and it’s a little hard to bring the kit along with me.  The kit is for the face and body, so I keep it on the charger in my bathroom and use it when I want to give myself the extra lovin’ I deserve in the bath or shower.

Lucky for me, the good folks at Clarisonic noticed the amount I travel and asked if I’d like to try out the Mia.  Here’s a product overview-

Make a “skinvestment” for the New Year with the new stocking-sized MIA.  Well suited for travel or everyday use, Clarisonic is offering free personalization and free gift ($65 value) with purchase if you order through Clarisonic.com.
