Miscellany Monday
{1} How much is that doggy in the window?
{2} I went to the dentist this morning and left with a small victory -- I only had 1 cavity. Yes. I called that a victory. I have the worst teeth in the world.
{3} This is old, but I just discovered it -- Jan. 2010 Southern Living ranked my neighborhood #9 best comeback community in the U.S. Pretty Awesome.
I love the east side!
{4} Last week I asked about fish oil, this week... calcium... someone told me that thin people who gray early are likely to have osteoporosis when then get older. Well, this thin 26-year-old has a head full of grays. Have you heard this? Is it a wives' tale? Do any of you eat those chocolate calcium chews?
{5} I love having Jessica in town! We played tourists yesterday with David and had a blast.
{6} Upcoming Giveaways: beautiful stationary from this shop & and some awesome wall decor from this one
do you mean "wives tale"?? ha ha
ReplyDeleteThat dog! SO cute!
ReplyDeleteCute fedora! And I would have taken that dog in a nano second.
ReplyDeleteemily -- why yes i do :) fixed it. i seriously thought it was WISE though. haha.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are too stinkin cute:-) Glad you had a good weekend, and a victory at the dentist!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm stealing your button, come chk mine out too hee hee
Such a great post. An can I say I would like all the things in the window... the striped sweater and the wellies. yes please.
ReplyDeletelove that puppy picture :]
ReplyDeleteand I definitely missed my dentist appointment to have two cavities filled. whoops.
What a cute puppy (and the striped sweater in the window is very cute too).
ReplyDeleteI've never had a cavity...which I find odd 'cause everyone in my family has lots and lots of them (and they're supposed to be genetic).
I think that people think that thin people are getting less calcium in their diet (like they eat less), and maybe that's why they think they will get osteoporosis?
that dog pic is so cute...when bama is outside looking through the window we sing it :) haha
ReplyDeleteEast Nashville!!! Hooray!
ReplyDeleteThe do is adorable - is it real or was it a staged dog?? Happy Monday and you looked like you had a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteXOXO

Aww!! Love that first photo. :)
ReplyDeletereal puppy!
ReplyDeleteoh goodness blair, you are so cute! i love that summer dress!! that doggy in the window looks a lot like my parents' dog, mozie! but mozie would proabably growl at every passing customer.. def wouldn't help sales.
ReplyDeleteYay for Nashville!
ReplyDeleteI lived there for 4 years before moving to Chicago (originally from East TN). How fun to play tourist - I never get tired of that!
P.S. Thanks for the birthday wishes!!
I love that you played tourists! How fun is that?! Love all the photos! Adorable blog!! :) :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of calcium chews and the connection between osteoporosis and grays, but then again you learn something new every day. Can't see why the extra calcium would hurt though! So neat that you live in Nashville. I've always wanted to visit! Happy Monday and thanks for stopping by my blog. Hope you'll come by again!
ReplyDeletelove that doggie in the window!
ReplyDeleteLove the randomness. Love that picture of you and your friend. Classic!

i love when a store has their own pet! :)
ReplyDeletei love that store window. I am really enjoying your blog. Enjoy your time with your sis!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! It sounds like you live in a great neighborhood! Makes me miss living in a city. I know smaller women are more prone to osteoporosis- I think because we're also smaller boned. Asian and Caucasian women are at highest risk, and genetics are involved too. I have all the risk factors but am terrible at taking vitamins... thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteCute dog. Great pix. Just wanted to drop by and say hello on Miscellany Monday. Take care, PAtrice
ReplyDeleteI eat those chocolate calcium chews twice a day. I buy the sugar free ones from Costco. I started about 9 months ago and my nails are definitely healthier and stronger, but I think my hair is shinier and healthier too??? Don't know if that is from the calcium chews or all the other vitamins I take now.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine has the exact same puppy!
ReplyDeleteCute blog! Glad you stopped by so I was able to find my way to yours :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm...my mom is super thin, grayed early and has terrible osteoporosis so maybe there's something to it. I'm 30 with tons of gray but I guess I'm happy to not be too thin if this is true!
Congrats on the good trip to the dentist! (my all time yuckiest place to go in the world!)
ReplyDeleteoxoxo
Denalee
fabulous trip!!!
ReplyDeletelove,vdcouture
I love random Mondays! That dog is too cute.
ReplyDeleteAs for the calcium/osteo question... Thin, light-skinned women are at a higher risk for osteoporosis b/c lighter skin absorbs less vitamin D. Calcium & vitamin D work together to help keep your bones strong. Smaller frames (petite women) will have less bone density just b/c they are smaller. Also, if any women in your family have osteoporosis, you are at a higher risk.
I take Citrical daily b/c it has both calcium and vitamin D. Also, recent studies have shown that most of America isn't getting enough vitamin D as we are wearing sunscreen regularly, spending more time indoors, and not getting it from our diet.
As for the gray hair, not sure about that... maybe a wive's tale?
Sorry for the long comment. As an (almost) pharmacist, I felt like I should try and help ease the confusion!
