Sweet and Salty Snacking

I gave in this weekend and went and bought the new Pretzel M&Ms.  They are a tad lower in fat since they are stuffed with pretzels not full of chocolate.  I really liked the sweet and salty combination and one individual size bag contains 150 calories and 5 grams of fat.  Yes, there is some saturated fat in there too. I'm not going to buy them all the time, but for an occasional treat, I will definitely add them to my list.

A Fan for Menopausal Women

Awhile ago, I received a sample of a little fan that you can fold up in your pocket and take out to fan yourself when you have a hot flash.  I thought it was a cute idea, especially for menopausal women like me.  I tried it a few times, but I had a tough time putting the fan back into the original pouch it came in.  Since it is the invention of two baby boomer women (kudos to the both of them for starting a little business) I thought I would write about it.  Take a look and see for yourself at the "Not So Hot" website.
