Curiously Awesome

What do you think of this jacket? I am so getting this. Notice the sale price? Notice the original price? Amazing! I’d say it’s time to head on over to Sears for a great sale. From now until April 18, Sears is offering 75-80% off Fall and Winter apparel. With finances stretched as tightly as they are right now for many families you simply cannot afford to ignore sales like this. Of course, shopping sales like this requires a little foresight and planning. You need to try to figure out what sizes your kids will be next fall and winter and then you need to bring your new things home and remember where you put them next Fall when you want and need them. If you can handle both of these things, then a sale like this is just perfect for you!

As for me, I love taking advantage of sales like this because I am an organizer at heart. Purchasing items for future seasons makes me feel uber organized. Makes my day, in fact!

Insufficient vitamin D may cause girls to have weak muscles.

Vitamin D deficiency is known to weaken the muscular and skeletal systems. A new study has found that vitamin D is connected to muscle power in adolescent girls.

The researchers measured vitamin D in 99 girls between the ages of 12 and 14. They found that 75 percent of the participants had vitamin D levels lower than optimal.

New research also suggests that vitamin D deficiency may also increase the risk of cancer, heart disease and autoimmune disorders.

Scientists and medical professionals believe that vitamin D deficiency is rampant, particularly among dark skinned people living far from the equator. Recent studies suggest that up to 55 percent of apparently healthy adolescents may be vitamin D deficient.
