Hi! Yes, I am still doing exercises every morning and feeling so happy about it! Most days I wake to intense back pain (which I attribute to too much stress) and yoga definitely helps the pain to go away, but also it stimulates my brain and gets me off to a running start. I always do exercise first, have a shower and then breakfast (yoghurt, muesli and fresh fruit; later in the morning I usually take half a (whole-grain) bun with cheese and turkey breast). Eating just before exercise does not go well with me. I do drink 1-2 glasses of lemon water (water in which we put lemon slices overnight) when I wake up.  tripleclicks.com Mini Yoga Ball —  €9.72   (Save 19%!) Just for fun I have now also tried out some fitness programs instead of just yoga. I notice that my whole body is tightening up. My abs are less flab, my bum is firmer (though not any less scrawny) and my arms and legs are more muscular. I also feel less tired and have more energy. All in all, only positiv

Hi! Here I am thinking I am doing other people a favor and it turns out to be a mess. I have written about this propolis product that is still keeping my exfoliative cheilitis under control. It flares up a bit now and then with some peeling but I very seldom have cracks or red, irritated skin around the lips anymore. However I was approached by a desperate person wanting to know about this cure and when I tried to link it to her it was not there anymore. Help! I still have a reserve bottle but the current one is almost finished. I am going to look very hard for an alternative and I will see if I can contact the original seller. Hang in there, if I find something I will post! I am going to try this one:  Propolis honey paste  but I cannot say anything about it until I have tried it.

Hi! I haven't posted for a while due to being busy. I am always busy, but the past 3 months more than usual: I work 70%, I have a 50% distance course in Malmö going on and a 100% distance course in Karlstad as well. It gets to be pretty much. The good news is that after New Year it will be much quieter because I will only have work and the 50% course. So I am holding out... Time will heal all wounds!  tripleclicks.com Watches Women Brand Gold Heart —  €12.99   (Save 17%!)

HI! I have written several posts about exfoliative cheilitis, which is chronical cracking and peeling of the lips. I don't know if everyone who has it also has a feeling that the inside of your mouth is burned, but I had that. Very annoying not in the least because food and drink do not taste good. That has also gone away. I used a medicine called Andolex to anesthesize it, but I don't have to use that anymore. Although I have found a cure that keeps it under control, so that people do not notice it, it has not gone away forever; I need to apply salve regularly to keep my lips moist and I have to use my cure regularly. At times I have forgotten it for up to a week without a problem; other times I start getting peeling lips within 24 hours if I don't apply the liquid. I tried at least 30 different medicines and treatments, including doing nothing (did not work!), vitamins and special diets. Nothing worked and some even worsened the problem, for instance that the sk

Hi!  Much has happened since my last post in this area.  I have had an allergy test ( 4 days with 2 large stickers on your back, no needles thank god) but was not allergic to anything (strange, I can think up some things though. Dishwashing liquid. Boring speakers. Delayed trains. A bank which cannot take cash. Anything which will put up my spikes.) I have been trying this product for a week now: APV Tentorium. (sorry no pic anymore, it is no longer sold online) ..... and it is working! It started working directly the second day, and although it goes slowly, by now I am not peeling anymore! My lips are still slightly hard on the outside edges but it seems to be getting less every day. I have stopped using the Daktacort and my lips look completely normal. I apply two drops of the liquid twice a day, let it dry and then put a moisturizer over it (Debucal, calendula salve or aloe lip balm). A few weeks ago I had to use lipstick and foundation to cover up the mess. And

Hi! I bought an "Abdominal Belt Exerciser" a while ago but it took me some time to get around to try it. I have been trying it out for a month now and I definitely have the idea that it is working. In the beginning it was hard because although the instructions are very clear and precise, the little device is not working as stated. However I have now found out how to work it: the on/off knob works for turning it on and off. Once it is on you press the Mode button (the triangle) which starts a program, you press the Mode knob repeatedly to change program to get to the one you want,  and then the on/off knob works for increasing the intensity of the electric pulses. Pay attention here: the knob only goes UP in intensity, so in order to get back to a lower intensity you  have to press the third button, which turns it off, or take off the belt, and get all the way to 10, the highest intensity, after which it returns to 1. The higher intensities can be quite uncomfortable. The

Hi! Does Aloe Vera help against exfoliative cheilitis? Short answer: no. But that may not be all. I bought an Aloe Vera Gel 100% at the apothecary. At the time I was having a bad time with my lips; burning red skin around, cracking, bleeding, the works. So maybe my skin was reacting badly to anything at all, even to products I have used before without problems, I have had that before. The gel is not like the fatty products I am using to keep my lips pliable. It dries up kind of like the Sahara does after rain: it cracks . Not a good  idea if the skin already is cracking. So in order to get Aloe in, I mixed it with some cream which I previously have not reacted to. No use. I have used it for a week, which I think is long enough, and it is not working. First it got worse and then it slowly got a little better.  tripleclicks.com Aloe Vera Gel Wrinkle Removal Moisturizing Anti-inflammatory Anti Mosquito Bites 13g —  €8.55   (Save 34%!)

Hi! My husband has been following my antics with my fitness program  with considerable amusement under a long time, and while he is interested in the exercises, he suffers from a bad back since an operation gone wrong 5 years ago and therefore cannot do most of them. So I made up a program especially for him and thought I would share that. Mind you: this is NOT a program to help you overcome your bad back. This is a program that you can (possibly) DO with a bad back. Backs are individuals just like we are. What works for him might not work for you. Try out each exercise and see how it feels. You are the best judge of your back and what you can and cannot. Experiment; try out variations; if something is too hard, try an easier version, if something seems too easy, put on weights rather than add repetitions, is my advice. Equipment needed : when you are trying it out, only a towel  and a yoga mat . Once you have found out some exercises that you like, you might like to try out  a
