Gosh, I am such a smarty pants… In my previous post about the Mothers day gift I bought I talked about the beautiful bloom teas I got for my mum, but I forgot to post the link to the site where I got them from.

In case you would like to try some bloom teas yourself or buy it as a gift for other people go to: FullBloomTea.com You can even get some Free samples if you want to try it out before you buy the gift sets. When my mum got her tea she also received a coupon for discount on her next order.

Just in case you were wondering; my mum says it is drinkable too!

Mothers day is around the corner, which means I’ve been looking for a nice present for my mum. It’s always difficult to find something original each year. Especially now that we are living on a different continent. Usually sending a present over can cost a fortune depending on how much it weighs. So instead of buying something in the mall and sending a package over I looked around on the internet, because they can ship it straight to her house.

At first I was looking at espresso machines because I know she would love to own one, but unfortunately it was a little bit out of my price range. Not that I don’t think she deserves a nice expensive gift, but I really can’t afford it at this moment.

Then I came across the site of a business that has advertised on my site via Project Wonderful. Full Bloom Tea has unique tea gifts that I knew my mum would love. At Full Bloom Tea you can order a special kind of tea that turns into a bloom once you poor hot water over it. So I ordered a nice gift for mum and asked them to send it to her address. It arrived very quickly; more than a week before Mothers day. She absolutely loved it.

Have you bought your Mothers Day gift yet? And if so, what did you get her?

As some of my regular blog readers know my husband is addicted to Oxycontin. He has been taking the pain killers for over three years now. Getting off it is a long and painful process. But… he has finally taken the step to lower his dosis again. Yesterday he has started with 10 mg twice a day instead of 20 mg.

I don’t know what the doctors were thinking when they put him on it. I know he was (and still is) in a lot of pain, but there are other ways to manage pain. The fact that the pain clinic even cranked up the dosage instead of looking for saver and better alternatives is disturbing. They don’t call Oxycontin Hillbilly Heroine for nothing!

It is hard to see my hubby go through this. It’s almost like living with a junkie, except for the fact that we get this on prescription. He’s having bad withdrawels, all his muscles are aching and he constantly has hot and cold sweats. And the worst thing of all is that I can’t do much to help him. I just have to see him go through it. It sucks…
