			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my favorite shows is Intervention on A&amp;E because I think that substance abuse will effect most families in one way or the other. In a lot of cases the patients have to detox before they can ever go to treatment. I guess it usually takes like eight days.</p>
<p>I think in some of these cases the people are just so scared of the physical pain that going through a <a href="http://www.rapiddetoxlasvegas.com">rapid detox</a> might really help them agree to get treatment. Of course then they still need to follow up with a lot of counseling. Plus, for this kind of procedure there really should be an extensive research and interview process. It isn&#8217;t covered by medical insurance but for some people it may be the right decision.</p>

Lately I&#8217;ve really been thinking about how the people who need to get on <a href="http://www.allsup.com/">social security disability</a> usually can&#8217;t. It seems like everyone gets denied the first time. Then they need someone like Allsup to help them through the process so they can ctually get the benefits that they deserve. I think it&#8217;s important in this economy to have a worst case scenario plan in place just in case you need it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blingonashoestringjewelry.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/wirewrap.jpg"><img src="http://blingonashoestringjewelry.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/zrtn-002n790086ef-tn.jpg" style="WIDTH: 250px; HEIGHT: 170px" height="170" width="250"/></a></p>
<p>I notice that whenever I read forums people assume the worst, get offended easily and pick fights in ways that they normally wouldn&#8217;t in real life. If only people would do the exact opposite of that the world would just be a much better place. This is one of the theories behind Random Acts of Bling: sometimes people can be nice for no reason. The winner can either keep the jewelry or give it away to someone else. <strong>In order to enter the contest your comment must be about who you would give this to and why or a random act of kindness.</strong></p>
<p>The prize this week is a rutilated quartz and sterling silver ring. It&#8217;s small, I think it&#8217;s a 6.5 size or less so it might make a good pinky ring.</p>
<p>The Rules:</p>
<p>Please don&#8217;t sell the jewelry, it&#8217;s to make whoever receives it feel special. The winner will be chosen by a random number <br/>generator at 6pm on Friday Mountain Time.</p>
<p>Contestants should be over 18 &amp; live in the lower 48 states because I&#8217;ll be paying shipping. I won&#8217;t sell or abuse your <br/>mailing address.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve already won a Random Act of Bling, you can win again, but please give the jewelry away at random.</p>
<p>Please leave a valid e-mail address, this is how I will contact you if you win. The subject line of the email will say something <br/>like&#8221;Random Acts of Bling: You Won&#8221; I&#8217;ll also announce the winner in a blog post. If I can&#8217;t reach you then I might <br/>have to relist your prize.</p>
<p>If you want to link or stumble this post it would be appreciated but is not required.</p>
<p>Comment/trackback/link should be about a random act of kindness or who you would give this jewelry to &amp; why.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The random number generator chose Cindy to win with her comment:</p>
<blockquote><p>My random act of kindness is always sharing baked goods. Each week I tend to bake a sweet bread or a batch of cookies for my family. We are a small bunch so I love taking a tray of some of my baked goods to my neighbors. They always get a big grin on their faces when they see me at the door with sweets. I love that and they get some really savory treats. Some times I will visit them each day. I go through my baking fits, so to speak. I think they really love it, I get a kick out of their reactions.<br />
So my random act should be to share whenever and possibly as often as you can. You will enjoy more than you can imagine.</p></blockquote>
<p>Thanks to everyone who entered and a new contest will start soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think that if I actually put a clock or timer in the bathroom I&#8217;d take the time in the morning to perfect my hair and makeup. It just feels like it&#8217;s taking forever and I&#8217;m going to be late. I was really intrigued when I came across all of these <a href="http://style-beauty.fabsugar.com/Hairstyles-Take-Less-than-10-Minutes-990368" rel="nofollow">hairstyles that take less than 10 minutes</a>. I could even handle that on <a href="http://www.buy.com/specialty_store_6b/black-friday-thanksgiving-deals/63214.html">Cyber Monday</a> or just on days that I wake up late. They all look like they took a lot longer than that. Usually when I&#8217;m in a rush I just pull my hair back into a clip.</p>
<p>Really none of these styles would require a lot more thought than a clip but it would look a lot more pulled together. I think I&#8217;m going to try all of these over a course of a week and see if I can actually do them. I don&#8217;t have any shine-enhancing gloss. I don&#8217;t really know what that is and I&#8217;m pretty sure that my hair will never look wavy but it&#8217;s worth a shot.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is essential in times of recession. It&#8217;s also just useful if you are watching your budget so you can save for retirement or <a href="http://www.lifeinsuranceagency.com">life insurance</a> like a responsible adult. Here are a few things I have learned. Lately, it hasn&#8217;t really been practical today being close. However, of course, I want to look my best and be up to date. Here are a few of my tips.</p>
<p>Redo what you already have. Recently I dyed a lot of clothes. I a ton down almost everything in my wardrobe with a great guy. Now, I have to be careful high arch, March the items a day of prayer really a lot more fashionable than they used to be. It allowed me to go for more of a sophisticated look and review the clothes that I haven&#8217;t learned from a few years ago.</p>
<p>Concentrate more on your makeup and hair. I love to go and buy new clothes because it&#8217;s fun infiltrating. However, the same exhilaration doesn&#8217;t apply to early mornings when it&#8217;s time to you fix my hair perfectly. However, even if they have the most perfect outfit it will really detract from that enable look put together. You can always expand to a few different cosmetics, and it won&#8217;t cost you anything. You can just change how you apply them.</p>
<p>What are your tips for getting a new look without spending any money?</p>

<p>Update:  This contest is closed but a new one starts tommorrow</p>
<p>I&#8217;m lucky enough to have a wonderful group of family and friends who are always there whenever I need a laugh or encouragement. I realize that this isn&#8217;t always the case for everyone else but it should be. This is one of the reasons why I give away jewelry at random every week as a means of encouragement. Plus, if you ever read through the comments and see how many people would give the jewelry to someone else it&#8217;s very heart warming. The winner can keep it or give it to someone else. <strong>To enter the contest just read the rules and leave a comment with who you would give this to and why or a random act of kindness.</strong></p>
<p>The prize this week is a sterling silver dragonfly brooch.</p>
<p>The Rules:</p>
<p>Please don&#8217;t sell the jewelry, it&#8217;s to make whoever receives it feel special. The winner will be chosen by a random number generator at 6pm on Friday Mountain Time.</p>
<p>Contestants should be over 18 &amp; live in the lower 48 states because I&#8217;ll be paying shipping. I won&#8217;t sell or abuse your mailing address.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve already won a Random Act of Bling, you can win again, but please give the jewelry away at random.</p>
