2 minute teeth brushing

Maybe everyone knew this, but i just read that the recommendation is that you brush your teeth for minimum 2 minutes at a time.  I timed myself, and while there were times i was over the 2 minutes, in general i was clocking about 1.5 minutes….and sometimes (especially  running out the door), a lot less!

So now i am brushing for 2+ minutes every time, and i swear it makes a big difference!  I tried to do the same for the kids (was thinking that if i got to 1-1.5 minutes it would be successful as they have fewer teeth), but i now realise that with Luca i would have as much hope of climbing mount Everest without oxygen as getting him to allow me to brush his teeth for that length of time.  But we live in hope :-)

 

Day 2 detox

Detoxing is hard! In my case I am having fruit, vegetables, natural juices and water, and herbal teas. Even though i am not limiting how much i eat, and with the sugars from the fruit i am not starving, i am still permanently cold. And my mind tells me i am hungry even after a delicious stir fry….and this just because i have no carbs with it!

Yesterday was easy, i was full of determination. Today i really missed my morning coffee! And my barry´s tea with milk when i felt cold. Can honestly say i am not feeling more energetic, healthier, or thinner. But then again it is only day 2…many more days to go!!

what?

This apparent disaster-waiting-to-happen is on the Island of St. Maarten. The airport has a particularly short runway that ends just 40 feet from beach, leaving large planes just barely enough room to land. So they have to come in low, directly over the beach, making it a prime destination for an afternoon of quiet, relaxing sunbathing.
