What happened to the breasts?

Our kitchen is back under renovations here at the HHL household, which means dining out and take-out menus have been the options. Sunday on our way home after a nice country drive, Mr. G. suggested KFC ... well its not my first (2nd, 3rd, 4th ...etc) choice but sure why not.

I surveyed the menu options and decided the 10 piece bucket would be plenty (10 pc was the smallest option) and budget friendliest. I asked the gal behind the counter, what it consisted of  "1 whole bird +2pcs", she cheerfully informed me. "Can I get an extra breast" I asked  ... she looked at me as if I had asked for a new designer hand bag - "there are no breasts in a 10 pc" she finally managed to respond, you get  "2 legs ,2 wings, 2 thighs, 2 ribs + 2 pcs. usually another thigh and rib" ~

 Ummmm... when did chicken's stop having breasts, I'm thinking ... and then wondering if I was having an ABI (brain injury) moment, had I forgotten chicken's had no breasts???  another friendly gal approaches indicating its going to be a 20 minute wait for chicken ... to this the customer behind me (bless her heart .. saved the day)... "A whole chicken has 2 breasts , just like us... and if we have to wait 20 minutes I think we should get the breasts and not be charged the extra $2" .. I agreed (thankful that I was not confusing roosters and chickens), so did the customer behind her ... just as the 3 of us started up a conversation about breasts - or in the case of KFC the lack of .. . Mr. G enters, concerned that I had been in there so long. Upon hearing the discussion going on  and seeing that I was Ok and in good company, he said nothing and quickly took to watching the Flat screen TV, which was off to the side.

Of course we had to wait for the manager to approve the breasts... so the discussion on a the parts of a chicken continued.There may have also been mention of chicken popcorn and that coming from Roosters but I can't quite recall (I may have started that discussion ..LOL) ...

In the end all 3 of us were given 2 breasts in our 10 pc buckets ... but seriously this is very confusing. KFC people if you are reading this please when you say a WHOLE Chicken ... remember they have 2 breasts.

Putting your best face forward ~ Part One of Three

As women, we tend to focus on whats happening to the skin on our face ~ after all its visible 24/7 not just to our self , but to the world.

When time becomes short or financial budget requires tweaking, we women seem to put our needs to the bottom of the priority list, and this often includes taking care of ourselves. Or perhaps an illness or injury keeps us from regularly needing to venture outside of the safety of our home ~ and after awhile the little things either from lack of energy, desire or from having to depend on others for assistance start to fall to the side.

So, when the day comes that we [and we all have; are seeing it now or will] actually see those signs of aging, neglect or side effects from stress or medication., instead of rushing to the nearest cosmetic counter for the latest "Magic Potion" that will bring back the skin of our youth take a look at how you are caring for your skin. Evaluate your eating and lifestyle habits. Are you drinking enough water; eating healthy; exercising; using SPF ~ OR are you filling up on soda and caffeine; sugar based foods are a food group to you; exercise is something you watch; and who needs SPF is your motto.

You will also want to be certain of your skin type and what it may be lacking (ie. dry vs dehydrated *) it is worth the time to seek the advise of a professional. Many skin care companies offer complimentary consultations to identify your skin type and needs. If your concerns are medication related you will want to seek the advise of a certified dermatologist, as they understand the side effects medications can have on the skin and how to combat them.

*most people misdiagnose their skin because both feel tight, rough, and uncomfortable. Dry skin is cause by not having enough oils in the skin, and dehydrated skin is from not having enough water in the skin. We require both moisture and hydration for a healthy, radiant glow.

  What small things have you changed in your lifestyle

 to help improve the look of your skin?

In Part Two ~ we'll take a look at the benefit of facials...
