More Rain...Less Electricity

This morning has been an adventure. As we look forward to another week of 40degree weather and rain...the electricity went out for about an hour. During that hour the power went on...went off...went on..and so on. When the power finally decided to stay, we realized that the office Salt Water Aquarium suffered the brunt of the power surges. The Filter and Heater must have burnt out due to the surges...and now the little tropical fish and wondering what's happening...(Besides their confusion to the "disco light" action earlier)

So....this afternoon looks like I'll be either getting new filtering and heating systems for the aquarium or figuring out something.

More to come....

Removal of Fragrance

My Tip of the Day:

To remove odors from hands, scrub with a little coffee grounds/coffee scrub with some Lemon Juice. I accidently got some strong floral fragrance oil all over my hands yesterday...and no matter how many times I washed with soap, the smell just didn't go away. This is perfect if the fragrance is part of your favorite Body Systems' Lotion...but not if you want to enjoy a sandwich and all you can smell is strong flowers.

I grabbed some of our great Coffee Scrub which contains pure coffee grounds, and added a little Lemon juice. Scrubbed and then rinsed, and voila flower smells gone.

I could enjoy my sandwich without the flower bouquet!

This works great if you handle some fish, or use some garlic to make supper. Another option? Use our fabulous Lemon Shea Scrub with a little coffee...same thing.

It's Raining...Peanuts!!

Yes it is! Our wonderful UPS delivery guy was kind enough to bring us excess packaging peanuts from our local Herberger's Store. They were going to throw them all out! Can you believe that?

Body Systems' is proud to reuse, and recycle whatever and whenever we can. You will notice that we often will reuse boxes for shipping and you will find a variety of packing materials and that's because we reuse everything we can.

Remember..."An ugly box saves trees"..

Thunderbirds' Performance This Last Weekend

Besides being able to live in the beautiful Black Hills, with Mount Rushmore about 40minutes away, and the historic town of Deadwood, we are fortunate enough to have a large Air Force Base a few miles away. On a summer day last year, my niece called me and asked, "What does AirForce One look like?" I replied that it's very large and is an aqua teal and white. She pauses and continues, "..yup it's flying over my car right now." WHAT?! I run to the deck to see AirForce One landing at the base. Wow..that plane IS huge. Well last Friday afternoon I could hear some aircraft activity and looked out to see the Thunderbirds practicing above our house. They performed at the airshow all weekend and this is a small clip.
