Typically, I float around from one thing to the next really lucky to accomplish task completion. I call it my adult onset A.D.D.. All my years in the classroom heavily relying upon my ability to go in 7 directions at the same time did not help me in this way AT ALL. In a room full of people it is VERY hard for me to focus on just one conversation. Having said all this, I think it is such a contradiction and quite strange the way I can fixate on certain things in a very complete sort of way…
When I decide to purchase the wrong kind of car (see entry on poor car purchases), most times I pour over research to see which might be the best of the poor choices I am pondering…within the #1 poor choice what the design changes were from year to year so I know if it is really worth bumping up a year newer for those fun blue backlights on the dash – this sort of thing…it strikes me as so odd that I can see this all the way through.
I do the same thing when I decide I need to know all there is to know about a particular product. My latest deal has been liquid supplements. It all started at the hair salon when I was listening in on the conversation beside me. This woman was raving about something that made her feel so great. Don’t you know when she got up to leave, I did indeed stop her and admit my happening to overhear her entire conversation and just what was this product. Well, it turns out she was talking about Mona Vie and by the way she happened to be a distributor and wouldn’t I like to come out to her car and try a sample she kept in a cooler for such situations! It was a bit odd, but you know I did try it and it was like a sweet merlot with a sweet price tag of $30 per bottle and the bottle will last you ONE WEEK! Why I thought I should try this I’m not sure. I don’t usually spend $30 a week on vitamins. She really wanted me to be a distributer, under her (can you smell pyramid???) which I’m not really interested in beyond a discount. I’m not a salesperson (although I do happen to mention my favorite things from Costco a lot – they should pay me!!). I did end up buying a bottle from her which I happened to notice made my skin just glow and I really didn’t feel like drinking diet coke (and I LOVE diet coke). So, awhile after that bottle and several phone calls to see if I was ready to buy more…I decided to peek on ebay and see if I found Mona Vie. Friends, I found Mona Vie as far as the fingers would care to scroll! I bid and ended up getting a case which is 4 bottles for about $20 each. This was okay. Eventually that well ran dry, so I had to make a decision…I decided to try several different brands and see which I noticed the most difference with and price compare, etc and so forth. Next up was Fruit a Vie, the Costco knock off. It was $16 a bottle or so. Right away I noticed the taste was just not the same. I didn’t feel the same benefits I did with my Mona Vie, so I say nuts to the knock off. Currently I am trying another deal I found at Costco. It is called Liquimax Complete Nutrition and was $12.99 for a bottle which lasts a whole month. So far so good. I don’t really feel like the Diet Cokes anymore and my skin is looking quite nice, so perhaps we have a new favorite. The taste is kinda blah and if it gets on my fingers the smell is ewwww, but not a deal breaker. After this month I have Vemma waiting in the wings. My aunt sells it and swears by the stuff. I will try it but am a bit leary as she said the cheapest price even if you sell it is $73.00 a month. A bit steep I think. Some doctors say this just creates expensive, colored urine. Do you concur? I like to think not.
I’m pretty sure that’s all I have on the liquid supplement front…
cheers!!
