This year has been a bit strange. I am usually that insanely excited person who decorates early for the holidays. This year, I’m late for almost everything. It’s like time is just flying by and I still haven’t worked up the nerve to go sort through storage and drag out our Christmas decorations. I mean…

What do you miss most about being a kid? My answer: No monthly bills! And yourself? -Mliae
Bacteria, Virus, Influenza …Oh My!
It’s that time of year again….the time when the floating crud hits hardest. And yes, I’ve got it. Oh boy, do I have it. This year its a virus. I’ve been fighting this off for at least the past 1 and ½ weeks. I went to the doctor and he told me not to worry,…
EXTREME Lifestyle Experiment…Can I Do It?
Greetings all and thanks for stopping by! Today I’ve got a big one for you… We just returned from our trip to the States, and it was so much fun! But now its down to business and I would like to discuss with you something I’ve been thinking about doing. I’d really like your input…
Overwhelmed in Bloggerdom
So, what happens when I’ve worked my ass off to get a ton of great content to write about? Well – this, of course. For the first time ever, I’ve found myself so overwhelmed that I can barely complete a thought. I. Can’t. Believe. It. I LOVE blogging and all the many hours of research…
OCD or Just Particular?
Do you ever find yourself doing something in a very specific way and silently wonder if you might have a touch of OCD? Well, I do that – more and more often now. I’ve always been particular. When I was younger, it was the way in which I was particular in my chaos. I guess…

Hi there 🙂 I’m giving an update today re my last 2 weeks progress (and a MAJOR ooopsie) on my Personal Training endeavor with Chape Fitness. Today, I am SO HAPPY to report that I am under 69 Kgs! Just under, at 68,9…but when I tell you what I’ve done to myself, you won’t believe…
Today We’re Celebrating 3,000 WP Subscribers to Lifexperiment Blog! THANK YOU!!!
Hello! I am soooo excited to announce that http://www.lifexperimentblog.com has reached 3,000 WP subscribers! *Clutches roses and wipes tears 😉 I have no badge or notification to share as proof.

I Respectfully Disagree.
I was reading up on chemicals in clothing and I found this article by Who What Wear. Now, I know that Who What Wear has like a zillion readers and an enormous fan base. I am aware that I will most likely be lynched on the internet for disagreeing – respectfully or not. But there…
Flabby- Assed to Fabulous with Chape! Week 2 Update
Hi there 🙂 Most of you know by now that I’ve been working with my old buddy old pal David from Chape Fitness, to shed this extra winter blubber that’s been keeping me warm this year. Things have been going great! With the daily workouts, the nutrition help & knowing that my trainer is keeping…
Wifi Crashes, Everyone Panics
What happens when the Wifi goes down? Life ends, of course. Or so one would think, anyway, if one witnessed the morose, nearly teary-eyed faces that are the result of a lost internet connection. I realized after several hours, that, the struggle is real. This got me thinking; Are we really so dependent on our…
Some Thoughts on Crazy-Making Blog Formats
Hi there 🙂 So. I’ve been on a blog reading binge this week. (More so than usual.) And I have a few suggestions. This is kind of a bitching post, but mainly I’m just trying to help….and save my own sanity. There are several things that one must consider when creating a website of any…
Oh no! I can’t fit into my dress!!
OMG, OMG, OMG… I am SO MAD at myself right now! It’s been 6 weeks since major surgery and I am still not allowed to do anything. Seriously, nothing. At least until my physician gives me the green light. And with 6 weeks of minimal movement & the food that accompanies, I’ve gained at a…
I have to ask…
Is it just me, or has anyone else gotten a front row seat to witness an otherwise almost normal functioning ex’s degrading mental health after the engagement was announced? If so, please share your story. Seriously! -Mliae *Photo from Pinterest
Is it Possible to NOT Lie?
Hi there, Today I got Busted. With a capital B, for ‘lying’. Not outright lying, or pathological lying, but white-lie lying. And when I tried to defend myself, the reply I received was ‘you lie all the time about this stuff’. I was gobsmacked. I mean…REALLY?! I’ve always considered myself a rather straight forward person, with…
Super Sustainable Wardrobe Clean-out!
OK, I did it. And you would not BELIEVE the size of the discard pile! Many of you know that I have made a promise to myself, and to you, that I would not purchase any items this year that are not made of 95%(difficult to find elastin-free items)-100% natural fibre. That means: Cotton (the…
Blogging in the Twilight Zone: Am I the Asshole?
When your need for dignified blogging lands you in a comment war with a teenager. Yes, I realize going into this that it’s probably going to be a shit-storm. I also know that I am not alone. So, speak up, people! I don’t want to sling mud, so the blog I’m referring to will remain anonymous….
My Guilty Secret: Weekend Cleaning Motivation
Welcome to my weekend 🙂 I don’t know how many of you out there are familiar with the show hoarders, or the UK version – The hoarder next door. But these shows are…horrifying…and disgusting. And the best possible remedy for this lackadaisical cleaner – ever. I don’t know what it is. But if I sit…
Yay! A reason to celebrate on Fri-yay!
Just a little health check in to let you know that I am doing so much better! I went in for one of my follow-up blood checks and I was told that I’m now running on levels twice as high as I had when I went into the hospital. I am so happy! 🙂 It seems…
OK, Let’s Talk…
Time to get a bit personal, ladies and gentlemen. I’m not usually the type of blogger who shares the details of my life which are truly personal…like down to the core, personal. I like to keep things in my life on the positive side, and don’t generally even like to speak about the difficulties one…
A word about centerpieces
Although we still haven’t fully decided if the reception will be outdoors or indoors, we still need to look at how to make our reception not look like a luncheon meeting, but a wedding. Looking through all the ideas for glamming up a wedding reception, I’ve come to realize that its absolutely ridiculous what people…
That moment when…
… You decide to edit and customize your blog page, only to revisit and discover you have posted tagged posts as features instead of moving them into the new page you created. And you never even knew you could do rolling features on the front page header menu! So, just in case there’s anyone out…
He Proposed!!!
Happy Mid-summer weekend all! This week has been full of excitement 🙂 On Thursday, my guy asked me to Marry Him and this lady said YES! YES! YES! I’m so in love, and so excited I can hardly contain myself! I’m already making all around me insane by trying to get a solid grip on venue…
Morbidly Mortal or Blessed by Time?
In light of todays’ bombings in Brussels, I decided to publish this post. We live in a world where it is becoming an increasingly common story to wake up, round up the family for breakfast, head off to work thinking of the days tasks ahead of us and never expecting the unexpected to happen. Sadly,…
My Dirty Secret: Cleaning Motivation
It’s easy to get overwhelmed with the day-to-day of work, travel, play, sleep and mundane tasks. It’s that occasional moment when I look around and see all the things I’ve yet to do that makes me roll my eyes and want to climb back under the blankets and hide. When I can find a corner…
