Are Allergies Causing Your Joint Pain?
“By Lisa D. Ellis
Reviewed by QualityHealth’s Medical Advisory Board
Got joint pain? If you’re experiencing deep, painful aches, you may wonder if it could stem from your allergies in some way. This is a reasonable assumption, but experts say that joint pain and allergies are usually not related, although it’s possible for them to co-occur. Read on for some suggestions as to what else could be to blame.
Causes of Joint Pain: Allergies or Autoimmune Disorder?
Allergies are an immune system reaction that occurs when your body comes into contact with a trigger that is perceived dangerous and thereby launches an attack against it. While joint pain isn’t usually involved, it’s common for allergies to cause sneezing, congestion, and coughing as well as itchy eyes, rash, and wheezing.
On the other hand, autoimmune conditions such as arthritis and lupus occur when your immune system launches an attack against itself (rather than against an allergen). This can indeed cause joint pain, along with swelling and fatigue.” For More Click here…Are Allergies Causing Your Joint Pain?

What to add to your planner…
“So What do I put in my planner???”
First of all…buy a planner from Franklin Covey
After you get your self and your family planners.
- In your planner plan time with your family.
- Usually I ask the parents (if you have kids) to help them write it down. If you have teens to communicate about it and help them write it down.
- Make time to have dinner with your family.
- If you are on a budget, its even better cook it… make a new “i remember when Dad or Mom use to cook” time.
- Board Games.. not boring games… board games.
- Write in time for you.
- YOU ARE ALLOWED TO MAKE YOU COUNT TOO.
- Remember, with out placing on the oxygen mask first, you cannot help someone else.
- Give yourself time to make you count too… after all don’t you help run the home? Would you like to have a sleepy pilot flying the plane? I don’t think so. Make it so that your loved one, even if its just you, get a great you.
- Gym time
- Personal time
- Lifetime (Movie channel)
- Work….
- Your goals
- Your inspirations
- time working
- meetings
Allow yourself to be organized… It will help you with a lot in your busy life. Just don’t do a Garfield. LOL
***If this becomes overwhelming, start slow… and remember these are just suggestions. You can add more or less to your planner.

QUESTION: How do you make your life run as smooth as you can make it run???
A one sided relationship with Michael Kors
As you may know by now… I have a thing for Michael Kors and his designs; his fashion. I tend to look at what brings to Nordies to match my wardrobe daily. It is a relationship I have with him with out him knowing… you know how that goes. Like when you were a teenager and you had a crush on a boy and would tell your girls how you wish you could just sit down and chat with him… but when he speaks you run away…
Well, I wouldn’t run away from Michael Kors, but I would defiantly smile and carry a conversation about how much I like his style.. his brand… his mind. He is gay I think, so there is no way I could ever marry him… But I wouldn’t mind being a Muse.
So this are the Items I LOVE for right now… this too changes as I see new things… this just comes with being in a one sided relationship with Michael Kors… LOL
Yes, I am silly. Oh the Joy of writing…

I’m sitting at a cafe… where the chi latte and pastries are what they are suppose to be… appetizing. The Music is electric and the atmosphere is calm. I’m eating a lemon treat… Delicious.

This place is also a dance studio and on the weekends they have a gift store where you are able to get…what else than gifts. A grungy chic place. I like it. I like it so I say you go and enjoy the chi latte.

Using Nature to Remain Calm…
Nature is beautiful. Maybe not around the corner where you see trash on the sidewalk. But if you take a moment to look up and ahead of where you are walking, you may find that there is an awesome view. I usually take a moment to see above the floor.
I love photographing nature. It allows me to be calm. When I feel overwhelmed I tend to go to the beach, The Getty Center and/or hiking to a high peak to help “remove myself” from whatever is causing the overwhelming feeling. Somewhere I can breath and relax. I usually sit and stare at the beauty of nature and tend to get my “head on straight.”
This helps with reducing muscle tension, anxiety, anger, anything you want. At the end of the day, it is your thinking that allows you to “keep control” of how you want to feel, think and be. But I also want to remind you that feeling “out of control” can sometimes be good… why? Because sometimes you need a reality check, and feeling “out of control” is like a pain signal in your body telling you that something is not right.
Regardless if you feel in or out of control, going to a place that gives you peace is always good.
Here are some picture I recently took of The Getty Center. Staring out into the scenery helped me more than I expected… I reminded me how awesome life is for me no matter how much pain my body gives me. And Yes, I am paying attention to those signals too.
Enjoy!
Cupid and Eros, getting to know Avi and Jo
 |
| Avi and Jo |
Avi and Jo from Cupid and Eros, both are very sweet, diverse, positive, high spirited and greatly skilled people. They are a great duo, power partners I say. I will tell you a bit about them…
Avi Glijansky, the producer/director/writer of Cupid and Eros is Venezuelan via parents. Born and raised in Philly, moved to New York to attend Film School. He writes, produces and directs Cupid and Eros. He is witty and very passionate about his work. You can view his details and though as you see the episodes.
He currently lives in Los Angeles, with his Lady and an awesome dog. His drive to make Cupid and Eros reminded me that passion is only the beginning of making your dream a reality.
So what is Cupid and Eros? The same god?
 |
| Josh and Jo |
“Cupid and Eros are two names of the same god, they are in fact colleagues, each the god of love in their respective pantheon. They still match up mortals and do their best to stem the tide of infidelity and divorce, but besides their common mission they are as different as night and day. Cupid is the original “nice guy”; sweet, charming, but constantly in the “friend zone”. Eros on the other hand is sexy as hell, and irresistible to anything with a pulse – mortal, god, or anything in between. He’s the ultimate romantic, she’s the ultimate personification of passion and unbridled sensuality.“
Cast: Josh Heine, Jo Bozarth, Kiera Anderson, and Phillip Ward
Their current three episodes you can view on MingleMediaTV Cupid and Eros
and their new season begins January 24, 2010.
 |
| Paul and Jo |
Jo, whom I call the muse, the actress, plays Eros. Her talent makes Eros the hot and sensual goddess. Jo is sweet and kind, Eros…you have to see to find out. I can only tell you that she is able to change persona in her roles.
Jo Bozarth began acting “on the side to satisfy the need for creativity” while obtaining her degree in psychology. She has worked with many independent features films. Including her own film which she co-wrote and co-produced; Ofelia and Joe. She plays the part of her mother in a love story that portrays a Mexican woman and an American man dealing with the barriers of language as they fall in love while working on the same Vineyard in 1960’s California. Talk about history in the making. A bilingual short film.
Avi and Jo also work on An Evening With Eros. A humorously skilled mini that allows you to have just that, an evening with Eros and her thoughts as she answers godly questions.
I met to awesome people. Avi and Jo. I say you can view their godly work, their current three episodes on WebTV Cupid and Eros. Their new season begins January 24, 2010.
Thank You Avi and Jo. It was awesome getting to know you.
Keep posted as I will continue to follow these two through their season of Cupid and Eros.

West Restaurant & Lounge
Panoramic views. Great Drinks. Wonderful Marcia. Live Jazz Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Happy Hour 4-7PM.
West is a stylish restaurant & lounge, high atop in the Hotel Angeleno in Los Angeles, CA. It has boastful panoramic views and floor-to-ceiling windows. Wonderful service and an amazing atmosphere. A perfect place to have drinks with your friends while you view the sunset, bring in the night, laugh, and enjoy sports on the TV if you are watching the highlights of the Laker vs. Suns or Spurs vs. Celtics NBA games. Or Listen to Live Jazz on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
West is officially my new transitional place.
Their California fresh Italian steakhouse menus featuring prime dry aged steaks, chops and roasts with traditional pastas and small plates are delicious. I had their ravioli and the Sabor (flavor) was lip smacking. Their wine selection of Italian and California wines are perfectly paired for every dish if you choose wine. The bar and lounge offers specialty cocktails, my favorite is the Dark Rum Mojito, served by our wonderful and gracious host Marcia.
If you want to chill with your friends, or a date, they have comfortable lounge areas overlooking Downtown Los Angeles and the Beautifully Lite 405 fwy. If you dine your view stretches from beaches to downtown LA. Gorgeous!
I strongly recommend you take the time to visit WEST Restaurant & Lounge in Los Angeles
