Days 17 and 18...Sweets Anyone? Doughnuts or Candy?

Hello all,

So today we are combining 17 and 18 and talking doughnuts and candy. Yes, once in awhile we have to combine the days.... Schedule just crazy especially with the new shared office space.... Hard to believe I did this everyday blog thing for a whole year a few years back.... it's an awesome experience. Once in awhile, we have to combine the days... works out good today as we can do both doughnuts AND candy. LOL...don't worry, we will still have one of my favorite candy debates on Halloween 10/31 !

So this is short AND SWEET ... Hahahahaha I know there are some out there that don't eat sweets for various reasons, doughnuts, candy or anything like that.... for those that do, let's have some fun...

According to google....the Hershey bar is one of the most influential candy bars of all time !

1st: Do you prefer a doughnut or a pc. of candy?
2nd: What is your favorite doughnut? ( Mine is Boston Cream)
3rd: What is your favorite Candy? ( I'm not sure I have one... I love coconut mounds bars from time to time, love M&M peanuts, love chocolate and caramel, love a chocolate bar with almonds) I also like candies like tic tacs ( if you consider that candy) and good and plenty from time to time. If I had to pick, it would definitely be chocolate....

So my Mother in law and my husband both have shirts that say, " Give me chocolate and no one gets hurt ! " LOL

Shoot, now I want a pc. of chocolate.... I think I would prefer some chocolate over a doughnut yet an occasional doughnut is ok for me too.... everything in moderation !

So at our eWomen Network conference this year we had a huge Doughnut wall display when you entered the hallway... it was crazy ! Looks something like this......

Do these images make you hungry??? LOL That's not one of the debate questions !

ok... see you tomorrow with our next Great Debate !

Enjoy !

Lid or no lid?

Day 16 takes us to trash ! LOL

Trash is just a cumulative problem ! To me, it seems like as soon as I put in a new trash bag, the bag is full ....WHAT is up with that? So how do you like your trash can? Do you have ones with lids, flip lids, little pedals to open them or do you use a can without a lid?

OMG...if you google this, there are TONS of cool looking trash cans ! Who knew? Even this white one is on Pinterest with all kinds of different painted artwork on it....couldn't save those images yet you can check them out there....

So this one is short and sweet... LOL

Day 15 Bottle? Tap? or Filter?

So let me preface today by saying that in today's climate, aside from my belief in "everything in moderation" - I'm in favor of a little extra WATCHING , if you may.... our World is not what it used to be, our planet is in such need of help, our soil is definitely not what it used to be so all the good things we do need to count for something..... we need to focus on the good things we do !

That said, let's talk water.... and not the kind you swim in, even though I live near the shore... LOL

I'm talking the water we drink !!!

So many choices we have today. I'm not sure, yet I think there are few people left in the Country that are drinking tap water. I know there are many areas where the water from the tap is pretty good, yet I think a majority of the Country is drinking water from other sources. I don't even want to do any research for today's post as I know it will be depressing-- yet let's look at the positive side of things. Some Countries don't even have clean drinking water. I know there are several organizations that go to Countries to provide drinking water. I also know that much of our water supply - no matter how we get it - is treated in some way. That said, our bodies need water and lots of it.

One of my favorite movie lines is from WE BOUGHT A ZOO.... great movie if you haven't seen it... so the new Zoo owner, Mr. Mee, is speaking with the inspector of the property and he offers him water.... and the inspector says, " NO, DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S IN WATER?" LOL

What I do know, is that alkaline water is best for our bodies. Companies like Kangen Water do a great job of explaining why and what we can do to make our water more alkaline. If you are drinking bottled water, the closest to alkaline is Fiji water...yet I love all those mountain spring waters, I love fiji the best. I also love Kangen water and I've pretty much stopped drinking tap water.... once in a great while and depending where I am. I also know that Atlantic City NJ has some of the best water in the Country from the tap. I also like using my britta water filter.... and of course, we can always boil water then cool it down too..... Any way to take it, just be a little more aware of the water you drink that our bodies need so much..... also, be aware of the plastic bottles you use. Make sure to recycle when you can and let's DRINK WATER !

Enjoy !!

Day 14 Wallet or no wallet?

So today we come to the subject of the WALLET.... Not the purse, the man-bag, the belly bag, the suitcase bag etc.... not any of those.....just talking wallets.... both for men and women....

Google image photos for purchase on Amazon

So I love wallets. My favorites are the ones that zip all the way around.....

That said, I often don't carry a wallet to hold my cash... (who carries cash anymore anyway... LOL)

Once, when I was in NY studying ( a long time ago) I was pick pocketed walking down the escalator at Penn Station. Seems like yesterday. I only had 9.00 in cash on me at the time. ( More than I carry these days...hahaha) About a week later, I received my wallet in the mail. No 9.00 yet everything else was there.... crazy ! At that point, I started keeping cash someplace other than a wallet... slowly, I began using wallets again and keeping some cash in them.... That is changeable for me from time to time.... as many of you know, I recently dropped one a wallet I was using in an uber when I was in Vegas.... it was gone along with a good amount of money and all that goes with it..... still recovering from that one.....

Without going into all THOSE details.... I'd like to stay on the positive side of things....

I know people that keep an organized wallet.... know people that just keep their "stuff" in their pockets, shirts, bras, socks, etc....

So wallet ? or no wallet?

Day 13 Turtleneck or no?

Hello Day 13....

Love the 13.... so much in the lucky 13.... anyway back to our Great October Debates....

As we move closer to Halloween and into the colder months ahead , let's talk warm clothing....

Do you turtleneck or not?

Wow ! So many sweaters , so little time... LOL

Images from Getty images and Unsplash at google .

Just love all the images I found.... Just liking this debate...do you wear turtlenecks?

I loved them more when I was younger I think. I still like to wear them occasionally . For me, it's a matter of fashion combined with comfort. I think if you can't be comfortable in something and you have to stay in it all day, then it's not the right garment. I still love sweaters though ! As long as I'm comfortable , I'll take it all ! LOL

Enjoy !

Day 12 Cream Cheese or Butter?

Well, getting this up early in AM as I fell asleep over it last night ! Day 11 brings us back to food and the wonderfully delicious bagel.... If you are following , you know we did a "Bagel Debate" some time ago on a different bagel topic ...which by the way is still a pet peeve of mine.... yet this time around- lets talk toppings....

So there ar emany things we all like to put on our bagels when the mood strikes us. I know I love me some apple butter, walnut cream cheese spread, butter, honey.... all sorts of things.

When we get down to the basics, which is it for you? Cream Cheese ????.......

.......or Butter????

I love them both. I can't even say which one I favor for I love bagels and I love them topped !

Now it's your turn.....

Enjoy !

Coffe or Tea?

Day 11 brings us to a Worldwide choice between coffee and tea. Some people like both, others like done and others still are very particular on the coffee or tea they consume !

Hello all, Hope you are enjoying our October GREAT DEBATES.... really just some fun as we take a look at debates / lifestyles through the ages.....

Personally , I enjoy both coffee and tea of all kinds.... below I've listed some benefits of both that I found on line from the TODAY site....

Although I love both coffee and tea I have a sweet spot for coffee....even the smell of it makes me feel good. I can see some great images of coffee or coffee being poured and I want some. Especially if I see it on TV, then I really want some.... sometimes that happens with tea too yet definitely with coffee !

I'm sure I could dig up the things about coffee and possibly tea that are not so great, yet I'm choosing to stay on the positive side of it. There are many great benefits to both as you will see below. I choose to focus on those great benefits. Of course, too much of anything is not good so I still feel that moderation is key....
