Well, nothing would lift my spirits more than having a live-in maid… but I have to win the lotto first. Until then – join me as I try to alter my distaste for tidying up.

Weight Watchers did a study and found that 20 minutes of cleaning your house can boost your mood and increase happiness. Really? I guess if my house was always neat and tidy it would make me feel a bit better. I guess…

The magazine also said you can incorporate the chore into your exercise routine. For instance: Make big circular arm motions when washing your windows (wax on – wax off), do lunges while vacuuming, and keep your abs tight through it all.

I’m all about multi-tasking. I can dig it.

If you really want to go nuts, try doing 30 minutes of chores AFTER a 30 minute fitness DVD.

A few months ago, I went to a spa as part of an anniversary gift my husband gave me. I was thrilled to be getting a facial. I put my robe on, walked into the room and sat down for my consultation. The woman asked me how I cleaned my face and I proudly said baby wipes. I thought I was being smart with my money. After all, baby wipes are SO MUCH cheaper than anything else being sold on the market.

Well, if that girl didn’t just about fall flat on the floor out of shock!

Apparently, baby wipes are too harsh for the delicate skin on our face. You can use wipes but they have to contain an anti-inflammatory (like green tea). A good buy is BIORE Makeup Removing Towelette. Available online or at your local drugstore for $7.

So no more baby wipes for me! Lesson learned.
