I just Facebook posted about wearing shorts that weren't knee length, started to get some compliments in the comments, and then quickly wondered how to respond.  Do I say thank you?  I then googled, "How to take a compliment." Even my husband brought up this topic today.  He told me I looked good in my bathing suit, and then I quickly tugged at it and made a weird face.  He said, "You take compliments so well." So now I'm sitting here trying to figure out what my problem is.  For starters, I have this thing called a "blue personality."  I get too concerned that I'll be perceived the wrong way.  My problem with posting a picture of myself is that I worry people will think I'm looking for compliments or bragging.  This could not be further from the truth.  I want people to see my confidence and how it has changed in the last year.  I want them to see it so that they can know it is possible. Appearance wise, my body has changed a little.

About half a year ago, I read that I should be using Himalayan salt as opposed to any other salt (because it was better for me).  I'm finally doing my research because, well, I'm just curious. I'm curious because it seems to be everywhere ---> even in the middle of the mall in lamp form. Anyone who has recently been to the mall has probably passed the little aisle booth of salt lamps.  I've now added a Himalayan salt lamp to my Christmas list. Ahhh, and I love rocks and minerals.  Another good reason to find out some info (putting my Geology minor to use). So what exactly is the big deal?  It is very interesting, and I've put it in bullet form for your simple reading pleasure... This salt was protected from pollution because it was enveloped in lava and ice. Many people believe it is the purest salt that can be found. Himalayan salt contains the same 84 trace minerals that can be found in the human body. Less refined, larger pieces = less sodiu
