The Sewing Mom

This post is directed to all the women out there, sorry men.

I never thought I would say this, but there is now something positive to come out of menstruation, specifically, the menstrual blood. The truth is, recent studies have shown that menstrual blood contains stem cells and these stem cells, if collected, have the potential to be life saving. For something so special to be found in something that has caused me such misery for the past 35 years, I am amazed.

C’elle menstrual blood cells have recently shown to have the potential to help in future treatments of heart disease, stroke, MS, diabetes, Parkinson’s and even Alzheimer’s. C’elle has patented technology with its easy to use collection kit. While I realize that stem cell research can be controversial, we’re talking about something that is naturally discharged from a woman’s body every month and in my mind, that is a completely non-controversial of utilizing potentially life saving stem cells.  Considering my own dad suffered from diabetes, as did his mom, it is something I may have to deal with as I get older.

To learn more about the science behind C’elle and to see a video of a C’elle Client Testimonial be sure to visit www.celle.com and, if interested, purchase a kit now to save $200 during their limited time offer.

That’s it, we’re done. Our back to school clothes shopping is complete, right down to the outfit required for band.

This weekend was tax-free weekend here in Texas and we took advantage of the fact that we could buy clothes and not pay the 8.25% sales tax. The tax free advantage only applies to clothing and shoes and that works for us because that’s exactly what we were buying.

After hitting two malls, one on Friday and one this morning, and a few shops outside the mall, my daughter has all the clothes she needs to get her through 7th grade, unless she grows! We even managed to find the black pants, black shirt and black shoes she needs for band, and they’re even stylish! Adding it all up, we spent just under $300 and saved about $25 in sales tax. Out of that, one pair of shoes was for myself (hey, I did all the walking and paying, I deserved something!).

Now we have all of this week to relax and enjoy the final week of summer vacation.
