Hey everyone!

I just listed three new pieces in my Etsy shop, all of which are made from vintage jewelry pieces. There are two bracelets and one necklace.

Click here to check them out.

Also, remember we're having a big sale, too, and every wallet is marked down $5-10, and clothing is up to $25 off!

Something happened last night that kinda freaked me out. Curious if those of you who have noticed neurological components to your fibro have been through anything similar.

I was lying in bed waiting to go to sleep (no, that's not the weird part. That's normal), and realized that my brain was trying to switch to Spanish. I don't speak Spanish. I have a few words of Tex-Mex-border-Spanglish, but nothing approaching a working vocabulary. So the words I don't know in Spanish were gibberish. I knew what I was trying to think, but couldn't do it in English; it was a strange Spanish/babble mix. I tried to tell myself, "This is not good" and it formed in my brain as "Este es muy mal."

Had to force myself to think in English, almost like I was having to force myself to remember English. That's when I got a little freaked. There were other fibro issues going on at the same time - could not find a comfortable position because my neck, back, and hips were all screaming.

Definitely gonna mention it next time I see the doc, but I guess I'm wondering if I should ask for a referral to a neurologist before then.

Guys, be smart. Don't fall for this one.

The other day, I was at Walgreens. At their front end, they have displays of items like candy, soda, and prophylactics. One of the items was generic skin softener- "made with real olive oil!" the label announced. It was $5 for a 6oz bottle. Curious, I looked at the ingredients:

100% pure olive oil.

Yeah. Or you could just buy some olive oil in those big jugs for about $8 and use some on your skin- provided you don't start with mildly dry, normally oily skin. A better idea is a wash with rice bran and oatmeal in that case. But if you usually have very dry skin, olive oil has been used in the Middle East for that purpose for centuries. If you're looking for something lighter, go with jojoba or almond oil. Grapeseed oil works as well, and if you put about 1 drop essential oils to 10 drops base oil, it can smell really good too! Just make sure the essential oil is safe to use on the skin. Not all of them are!

hey all. so i don't post here all that much, but i love this lj-community and i figured i would share with you all what i'm doing. I'm on the road with my current theatre tour job, it's my second one, and 3/4's of the way through my last tour i switched to being vegan, and it has been amazing. i love it. It's hard living vegan on the road though, stopping at a lot of fast food places and dealing with shitty french fries and iceberg salads. i've gotten really creative. so i decided to start a blog about it. so here it is! i'm going to try and update it every day, and try and take pictures of my specifically creative or delicious foods. i figured if nothing else it coul dbe something other people could look at for eating vegan while on cross country road trips or if they ever get a job like mine. so here's the site! enjoy!

The Delivery: A vegan cookbook
Staff Pick: Another Dinner is Possible by Mike and Isy of Britain's Anarchist Teapot Mobile Kitchen

The DL: This cool-looking cookbook hails from the United Kingdom, with such recipes as Fake Mincemeat Spread and Treacle Tart. It even comes complete with a US-British glossary and conversions table, so don't worry if you don't know what treacle is—it's similar to molasses.

Only four more days left at VegNews.com for a chance to win a Thanksgiving Feast!
