very interesting article

mummy just received this from a group she's in, it makes for a very interesting read.
it suggests that artificial sweeteners have a considerable risk to your health, causing such things as spasms, shooting pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, unexplainable depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss, also, artificial sweeteners commonly found in diet drinks make you gain weight!
i don't know if it's clinically proven fact, but it's worth trying, if not drinking diet coke and things might help with health problems it's a small price to pay.

ETA: even if this an urban myth, i still think substances not found in nature can't be good for us, so, i will keep an open mind, and i for one still won't drink diet coke, because i don't like the taste of the artificial sweeteners! if it's better for my health too, so much the better :)

new icon!

it's about time i had a new one, don't you think?!
also, i've been hemming a flounce all evening, and i am soooo tired of hemming :) it's halfway done, and it took me an hour and a half :( it's quite long! i have to cut out another one, hem that, then sew all 3 to the skirt, then i have to think about the train. i am insane!
