New year for new beginnings

  Currently I am working on a kitchen project in my home. I am trying to transform my very outdated kitchen into a new functional organized space.   On a strict budget,  I have some cabinets to work with but not nearly enough for the transformation.  I'm still trying to figure out exactly what I want in this space.   Do I want an island in the middle of the room and remove a half wall or do I want to work off the wall space that I have.   After researching on Pinterest and other sites for ideas, I have decided to use the cabinets I have to build a pretend island in the middle of the room to see if I could live with that.  I figure it's a practical idea considering that it's such a drastic change.  So this is what my kitchen looks like now.  I'm going to be working with someone who's going to help me build and transform the space.  I am hoping for some decisions by the end of this week.  I really need to decide if I should take the half wall down or not.   A trip to Home Depot is on tap!  Stay tuned for more soon.

Why does the brain remember dreams?

An article from  Science Daily Some people recall a dream every morning, whereas others rarely recall one. In a new study, research shows that the temporo-parietal junction, an information-processing hub in the brain, is more active in high dream recallers. Increased activity in this brain region might facilitate attention orienting toward external stimuli and promote intrasleep wakefulness, thereby facilitating the encoding of dreams in memory. The reason for dreaming is still a mystery for the researchers who study the difference between "high dream recallers," who recall dreams regularly, and "low dream recallers," who recall dreams rarely. In January 2013 (work published in the journal Cerebral Cortex ), the team led by Perrine Ruby, Inserm researcher at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center, made the following two observations: "high dream recallers" have twice as many time of wakefulness during sleep as "low dream recallers" ...

Five Common Symptoms of Gluten Intolerance

In an article posted from  healthy-holistic-living.com  it states: "To recognize a  gluten sensitivity  is not the easiest thing to do as symptoms can overlap other health issues making it difficult to distinguish what is causing what. It is important to determine whether we have a sensitivity to  gluten  because not only can we increase our health and quality of living by doing so, but we can avoid having the ignored sensitivity turn to Celiac Disease.  Generally blood tests are used to determine whether or not you are sensitive to  gluten  but these tests are not always completely accurate, making it important to check with your gut feeling if you are showing any of these symptoms. One of the issues with blood testing is that it only looks for one of six polypeptides in wheat, gliadin. But there are five other polypeptides that can cause sensitivity; wheat germ agglutinin, glteomorphin, gltueinin, prodynorphin, and omega glia...
