You Are an Acai Berry

You are an intense, fascinating person with a very strong personality.
You don't shy away from controversy, and you're incredibly independent.

You are cultured, knowledgeable, and worldly. You have a deep understanding of things.
You are lively and healthy. You believe your body is a temple, and you treat it as such.

I've heard that Acai will be fine with colitis, but the colon cleanse may upset it. Hmmm...What do you think peeps? Well...I know that he açaí berry has been touted and marketed as a highly beneficial dietary supplement.

For what I''v read the Acai berry in particular is known for its reputation as a super food and its exceptional antioxidant properties. The berry is a small grape-sized berry that natives of the Amazon region have been eating as part of their diet for centuries. Only 10% of the berry is actual fruit while the rest is inedible seed.

First Pregnancy - Good News

2009-05-07T14:31:00.000-07:00

Today, I was pleasantly surprised when my friend called me and said that she's 3 weeks pregnant. She had her pregnancy test last Tuesday and it was positive but then her husband told her not to get excited because it might be false alarm. Wednesday she had her blood test and the doctor called this morning and it was positive. I'm so happy and excited for her because I know this will be the best important moment of her life. This will be a great gifts that she received for her birthday. Now shes expecting around January or February Baby and for what I've read, three weeks of pregnancy as sperm meets egg, fertilization occurs and the baby to be takes form as tiny group of cell. So, she's 3 weeks pregnancy means she's conceived! Her baby soon to be a baby has started its miraculous transformation from single cell to baby boy or girl. Now I can't to wait to know if it's a boy or a girl he he... I hope her baby will be healthy and she have a blissful pregnancy. And to make it happen she will need a good nutrition during her pregnancy to improves her chances of having a healthy baby. I know having a baby is very exciting and yet frightening.

Excess saliva
Darkening of the areolas, the skin around your nipples
Headaches

Selecting the Right Exercise

2009-05-07T14:20:00.000-07:00

Finding the right kind of fitness routine is a key to being able to stick with it and be healthy for life. I have tried many different types of exercise. I started out jogging but it is hard to jog when the weather is bad or if the smog alerts are out. A good hard body is really sexy so I needed to find something good to do and the first thing I found was treadmills. They are ok but they really didn’t make me feel like I was getting a full workout. I didn’t want too much of the same motion.

Next I did some checking and found that you can get a good workout from an elliptical and they are easier on your legs in terms of wear and tear. I tried one of my friend’s and I liked it a lot and felt like I had worked a lot of different muscle groups. I like to ride my bike but again it is sometimes difficult and the traffic can get really crazy where I live, so I looked into an exercise bike . I decided the best combination of equipment for me was the elliptical and the exercise bike. I like the bike for when I want to work on my legs but still have it quiet enough in the room to watch TV! I have to be entertained of course!

Swine FLu - Go Away!!!

2009-05-05T13:23:00.000-07:00

Hopefully this freaking swine flue will be gone before are anniversary. Grrrr...I'm so pissed bec we have so many plan for our up coming anniversary but seems like it's not gonna happen now because SWINE FLU is still around and esp that freakin flue is here now in Cali. Sigh** now we can't go to crowded places :( Hmmm...I really don't wanna get it...I'm kinda scared to go to crowded places and I guess all should be right? I just hope the swine flu will be gone any time soon. Some people probably not scared huh! until someone they know actually comes down with it then They'll worry.

I know it does the same thing like the regular flu, fever, head ache, sore throat, respiratory symptoms, cough, this one includes stomach upset and diarrhea. But still...I'm freaking out because we haven't seen it in humans and from what I've read, it is essentially a flu without a vaccination. You may not die or even get the swine, but it's still good to be on the safe side. So I guess now were not going somewhere until swine flu is totally gone. Ever since it started it is not getting better instead more people get affected day by day. I'm pretty sure everyone had heard about the deadly Flu and if you want to know more about this flue just visit wikipedia.org it has a lot of info about the swine flu.

Anyhow, here some tips on how to not get the swine flu

*stay out of crowds
*avoid physical contact
*Keep your distance from people who are sick
*make sure family members wash their hands often
*stay home when sick
*cover your mouth and nose when coughing
*avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
*keep in touch with the news
*Eating healthy, lots of fruits and vegetables
*cutting out sugar and processed junk foods will give our bodies what they need to stay healthy.
Sugar has been found to reduce our immune systems' capabilities to fight off viruses.
Also taking vitamin D and C and drinking lots of water will help!
*use hand sanitizer and Wash your hands frequently.

We all just have to have knowledge on our surroundings and especially when traveling.

If a family member has a flu like illness, call the doctor right away. The new swine flu can be treated with antiviral medicines, but those medicines work only if taken within a day or two after symptoms start.

What about you guys? How long do you think the swine flu will last?

My fav Lotion Ever

2009-05-05T10:33:00.000-07:00

Last time I went to Walgreen's, I bought a bottle of Jergens Lotion since my old one is almost gone. I'm picky about lotions, because it has to be just right for me to make up my mind to use it. I have used Jergens Skin Smoothing lotion products for a while now and I love it. I bet that everyone wants their skin to feel good, healthy, and comfortable just like me rightt? Our skin protects our bodies from the elements, but what can we do to protect our skin from the elements? Moisturizer! This moisturizer makes your skin look, soft, smooth, sheen, healthy and radiant. It doesn't only get the top but it seems to make your skin look good deep down. My skin feels so much better after using this white, creamy lotion. The lotion is the exact right consistency too...not too thin or too thick. It doesn't feel greasy at all either and it absorbs quickly.

I highly recommend the Jergens lotion for anyone who wants healthier, happier, hydrated Skin. Jergens products has variety of lotions but my favorite one is the Skin Smoothing.

Love a Career

2009-05-05T10:28:00.000-07:00

Living the healthy life can be enhanced by having a career that you love. Doing what you love will not always make you rich but it will make you happy and healthy! Sometimes rich too! Ha-ha! I have dreamed of becoming a chef and having my own restaurant. It would be so cool to prepare my own menu and use my creativity to design the restaurant. I would want to attend a good culinary arts school and fortunately there are a lot of them here in California. The great thing too is that we have a very diverse culture here so there are a lot of eateries that cater to a certain crowd that do well. Training is important and you want to select a good school. I found a site called allculinaryschools.com and it does a great job of locating schools in your area and giving an excellent summary of each. You can even send for information on tuition, curriculum and other things right through the site. So, I guess I am starting there! Wish me luck!

2009-05-04T14:57:00.000-07:00

I been craving for fish for couple days now so last night I decided to cook my fish. I'm just happy because I have plenty of fish in our freezer so anytime I want to eat fish I can always cook it as long as I'm not lazy he he...I fried lapu lapu and tortang talong (Stuffed Grilled Eggplant Omelet). =)) a filipino dish for egg plant...it's so simple and tasty.

I like all fish freshwater and saltwater, but my favorite would be fried lapu lapu or Escabeche lapu lapu. I been always love this fish even when I was in Philippines. It is an expensive fish in the Philippines, but people love it because it is delicious. Lapu-lapu is a local fish which in English is called commonly as "grouper".

tortang talong (Stuffed Grilled Eggplant Omelet)

Fried fish (Lapu Lapu)

What is Lapu-Lapu or Grouper?
-Lapu lapu is also the name of the grouper fish in the Philippines. For the city, see Lapu-Lapu City.
-is a high value fish with great potential in aquaculture.
-They are valued for their excellent texture and flavor.

Well...Fish is excellent sources of protein that are low in fat and it is a highly nutritious food commodity. Being an excellent protein food with fewer calories, it is better than other meat sources. It is rich in omega 3 fatty acids proven to be good for the heart. Eggplant is effective in the treatment of high blood cholesterol and is richer in nicotine than any other edible plant.

Basis contains no fragrances, dyes, or other harsh ingredients that may irritate skin or strip away its moisture. It just cleanses and comforts gently. Basis It provides a rich, creamy lather and doesn't have a strong odor to it. This is a very gentle and soothing product to use.

I highly recommend this soap to anyone suffering from chapped, cracked skin. It works so well and is very gentle on the skin.

Prescription Blues

2009-05-04T12:32:00.000-07:00

It is really a conspiracy of the huge pharmaceutical firms in cahoots with governments internationally to make the industrial nations bear the burden of their desired profits. While we pay absurd prices here and in Europe the same drugs are sold in other countries for a fraction of the price. Many older people who are on fixed income have tried to import their prescriptions from Canada or other countries in order to be able to eat and have their medications. It is really an unfair and difficult situation for many people. Many people continue to search for an alternative method to order their prescriptions.

Some companies in the USA have made an attempt to lower the cost of prescriptions with generic branded replacements. Wal-Mart is one of the biggest to note. They do a good job of using the purchasing power they have to negotiate pricing and deliver the medicine at very low prices. We can complain all we want about them but they do good as well by lowering consumer costs. Somehow, this issue needs to be addressed and legislation written to protect the consumer without all the lobbying by the big pharmaceutical companies. I am hoping with the new administration pushing congress that some inroads can be made soon. In the mean time check out pharmacies on the web who can deliver your medicine right to your mailbox.

Electric Toothbrush - A Good Step to Take in Dental Care

2009-05-04T09:01:00.000-07:00

Well...I grew up brushing with manual toothbrushes that's why I was glad when I received a Sonicare Electric Toothbrush as a gift last year. As I remember the toothbrush comes in a box with the electric toothbrush body; charging stand; one toothbrush head; a plastic stand for two toothbrush heads; and a plastic travel case. Also included was an instruction manual. I think the first time I used the toothbrush, I let it charge for several hours. The toothbrush also has a feature to ease you into using it. The first 14 times you use the toothbrush, it oscillates at a slower pace than its usual speed, and gradually becomes faster. This helps to acclimate sensitive gums to using an electric toothbrush. The toothbrush beeps twice when you turn it on to let you know this feature is activated. After the first 14 uses, the feature automatically de-activates. The clean from this brush is more like the clean from using a manual toothbrush. This brush definitely does the job, and I appreciate that it is gentle on my gums. I look forward to being able to travel with it, as well.

The best features of this toothbrush include:

It automatically shuts off after 2 minutes to encourage brushing for the correct length of time.
It is light and easy to travel with, especially with the included case. The brush also stays charged for at least 24 hours off its base.
It is attractive sitting on a sink or counter.

If your looking to purchase an electric toothbrush and don't know anything about them. I would highly recommend this Sonicare brush. It creates ultra sonic type vibrations which really removes debris around the teeth and under the gums.

Got Your Online Store?

2009-05-04T08:49:00.000-07:00

I know you have your online business all worked out on paper and you are about ready to take pictures of all the cool and fashionable clothes, beauty and healthy products that you have designed. However, you have one more very important thing to accomplish. Find a good web host for your online store! You may not have considered webhosting but it is one of the key points for success. You need your store up and online 24x7 for today’s online market place. You don’t want that chic buyer in the United Kingdom to miss your new line just because your site was down for maintenance during primetime.

There are a ton of hosting services out there and anyone who puts a server in their basement and loads it with a Linux kernel and Apache is not necessarily the best choice. Don’t get me wrong a lot of them are really good and economical. I like to make sure I check people out on hosting blogs and on review sites before I trust my business to them though. You will work hard to get your traffic coming to your site and one day of down time can spoil all that hard work. Do your homework girls, hosting is almost as key as healthy fashion!

Some Tips for Mental Health

2009-04-23T16:35:00.000-07:00

1. Build Confidence
Identify your abilities and weaknesses together, accept them, build on them and do the best with what you have.

2. Accept Compliments
Many of us have difficulty accepting kindness from others but we all need to remember the positive strokes when times gets tough.

3. Make Time for Family and Friends
These relationships need to be nurtured; if taken for granted they will not be there to share life's joys and sorrows.

4. Give and Accept Support
Friends and family relationships thrive when they are "put to the test".

5. Create a Meaningful Budget
Financial problems cause stress. Over-spending on our "wants" instead of our "needs" is often the culprit.

6. Volunteer
Being involved in community gives a sense of purpose and satisfaction that paid work cannot.

7. Manage Stress
We all have stressors in our lives but learning how to deal with them when they threaten to overwhelm us will maintain our mental health.

8. Find Strength in Numbers
Sharing a problem with others who have had similar experiences may help you find a solution and will make you feel less isolated.

9. Identify and Deal with Moods
We all need to find safe and constructive ways to express our feelings of anger, sadness, joy and fear.

10. Learn To Be At Peace with Yourself
Get to know who you are, what makes you really happy, and learn to balance what you can and cannot change about yourself.

11. Eat right, Keep fit
A balanced diet, exercise and rest can help you to reduce stress and enjoy life.

I went to the mall it seemed like for hours and nothing caught my eye so I went to a few other stores and just couldn't find anything I thought she would like so I just went home and checked the sales adds again then my sister suggested trying online so I searched for awhile and came across simplybe.co.uk and was amazed on the selection they had with styles I haven't seen in the mall. My mother in law is a plus size lady and I was delighted on how much stylish clothes they had I mean they had skirts, trousers, dresses, jeans, shirts, lingerie, and even footwear but I wanted to get my mother in-law a nice dress and every plus size store I went to wasn't even close to the latest up to date stylish fashions that simplebe.co.uk had. So I got her the Jersey Maxi Length 52in witch was absolutely stunning and I know she will love it and since my sister in-law is coming to visit and she will be here on her birthday I thought I would get her something as well. I found this nice dress it was the Jeffrey & Paula Trim Dress - Length 39in I think she will be so excited to receive this and I cant wait to give it to her.

Acne Remedies

2009-04-21T21:43:00.000-07:00

1. Cook oatmeal and apply on face for fifteen minutes, then wash.
2. Make a warm bath with blanch of nettle and rosemary to reduce the acne.
3. Apply equal amount of lemon juice and rose water with a cotton ball, leave for half an hour and wash. Repeat for 15-20 days.
4. Rub the acne with garlic cloves several times a day.
5. Natural remedy for acne with avocado: Wash face with avocado paste mixed with water.

Some people said that toothpaste works, others swear it doesn't. I have a friend who does it all the time and says it works for her. Anyhow, Aloe does pretty much the same thing to your pimple, but I recommend spreading the aloe goop (from the actual leaf) all over your face. It can't hurt, and it makes your face feel tight and smooth, like you just got a face lift.

A friend of mine have tried a lot of crap on he face and "home remedies" but it only made her acne much worse. I know most of home remedies doesn't perform very well but I hope this one help.

How about you guys do you have any actual comments or suggestions about any good remedies?

I Love Mango!

2009-04-18T15:25:00.000-07:00

You Are a Mango

You are unique, sassy, and a lot of fun. You are definitely not uptight in the least.
You take a whimsical approach to life. You believe in finding your bliss.

Other people find you enchanting and alluring. They want to capture some of what you've got.
You're downright radiant. You follow your passions and do what you love. Because of it, you glow.

I love eating ripes mango esp the green one with bagoong. Mango is rich in a variety of phytochemicals and nutrients that qualify it as a model "superfruit", a term used to highlight potential health value of certain edible fruits. Mango is high in prebiotic dietary fiber, vitamin C, polyphenols and carotenoids.

According to the Produce for Better Health's 5 a Day program, plenty of yellow/orange fruits and vegetables, as part of a low-fat diet, may help you maintain:

A healthy heart
Healthy vision
A healthy immune system
A lower risk of some cancers.

Mangos contain a considerable amount of gallic acid, which may be binding to the bowels. It is excellent as a disinfectant to the body. Many people claim the mango is a great blood cleanser, and it also has fever soothing qualities. Mango juice will reduce excessive body heat. Mangos are also wonderful for helping to throw off body odors.

Best Blackhawk Holster

You can then follow links for firearm accessories, under amour or footwear for instance. They will set you up for purchase orders and honor a request for quotation as well. What a well planned and executed site! I think it must be an ex-professional service member who created this company because they really know their stuff!

Wrinkles Remedy

2009-04-16T12:25:00.000-07:00

Home remedies for Wrinkles:

Take 2 apricots, after de-seeding them,
finely chop and puree along with their skin
Add 2 tablespoons of honey and the juice of one lime along with a little cold milk.
Blend all these to form a smooth paste.
Applv on the forehead, face and the neck.
Leave it on for at least 30 minutes.
Now take some lukewarm water in a basin and add to it the juice of one lemon.
Wash your face with this water.
Your face glows and radiates freshness.

The worry and furrow lines are minimized. The apricot nourishes while the lime juice tightens the skin.

Take a cup of rice powder and to this add enough milk and rosewater to make a thick paste.
Apply evenly all over the forehead, face and the neck area.
Leave it on for at least 20 minutes.
Try and relax and not move any facial muscles when this paste is applied on the face.
After 20-30 minutes when it cakes up, splash cold water on your face, rinse and wash off.

The skin appears very taut and the wrinkles seem to have "straightened" out or wrinkles and lines disappeared altogether.

Summertime is almost here, and everyone wants to look there best when your off to the beach or just some outdoor fun. I've never had the problem with excess hair but a friend of mine had some on her upper lip and chin not bad but just enough to give he a bit of a complex, she didn't like the pain of waxing and shaving was to frequent for her. So I told her to come over to my house and we could look online to look for a alternative.

Deer Problems

2009-04-10T15:43:00.000-07:00

Some friends of ours have the biggest yard full of plants and flowers. The bad thing is their yard backs up to a green way full of deer. Each spring Celeste goes out in plants hundreds of spring flowers usually some daisys, pansies and other annuals. This is just the beginning of the battle because as soon as she gets them out the deer coming start to eat them. Those deers just seem to love fresh young flowers, they even like some of her busches and will eat the new leaves off of them.

She has tried a ton of things to keep the deer away. First she used to go out and bang on a pan when she saw the deer in her yard to frighten them away. This worked for the first few times but now the deers just look up at her and then continue to eat. She really needed some kind of deer repellents. It was so crazy even her little dog barking at them wouldn't scare the deer away. I found a website that seels repellents and it's called Havahart®. We had to come up with something that kept them away but did not harm them. The main reason is because her house is in the city limit so she got some Deer Away Deer Repellent, Concentrate and it is really working well. I don't know what it has in it but the deer hate it. For now anyway problem solved.

What would we name the baby? How do you even take care of the baby?

Luckily, I found a great site that I'm starting to read. First, I need to get pregnant so I research a question on the site, "When am I most able to conceive?". However, my favorite one is baby names. I did a search on names and this site gave me hundreds to choose from plus the origin, the meaning and how popular it is. All good things to to consider before naming your first child.

2009-04-09T08:30:00.001-07:00

Bitter melon has been used in various Asian traditional medicine systems for a long time. Like most bitter-tasting foods, bitter melon stimulates digestion. While this can be helpful in people with sluggish digestion, dyspepsia, and constipation, it can sometimes make heartburn and ulcers worse

It is a tropical and subtropical vine of the family Cucurbitaceae, widely grown for edible fruit, which is among the most bitter of all vegetables.

We call it AMPALAYA in PI. You can buy it from Asian markets or Farmer's market.

Back in to Race

You would think that a 6 cylinder engine is a pretty staid laid back kind of engine. We drive our Nissan Xterra all the time but when we get into fast traffic it is a roll of the dice trying to hit speeds and merge. Modesto City traffic does not help matters much because speed limits are seldom enforced around the metro area. We like everyone are shocked at the price of gas so we don’t want a V8. My hubby found a site called www.turbochargerpros.com and they have a ton of information on super charging or turbo charging your engine. You can actually get more power out of your engine and be more efficient on gas. Does it get expensive? Well, an audi turbo charger can run over $500 up to $1000 but what a great performing machine you will end up with! Check them out and get back into the race.

Herbal For Health

2009-04-09T05:27:00.000-07:00

Health comes in many forms and one of the most important is nutrition. I know from experience that herbal life if a good supplement for your diet. It gives you energy and rejuvenates your body to a higher level of health. They have several types of products, ones boosting your immune system, protein drinks and weight management drinks to help you lose weight. It is a wholesome approach to bringing your body into top condition so you can enjoy life to its fullest. I felt great on it and lost about twenty-five pounds over a six month period as well. The good thing I liked about it was that I felt like exercising instead of having to push myself out the door to jog. I really wanted to push my muscles. I was lucky because my aunt was a Herbalife Distributor and I was able to easily get products from her.

Now that I am away from my home town and I have added a few pounds back to the old belt line I needed to find a Herbal Life reseller to get some more supplements. I was surprised when I asked around at work that no one really knew about anybody in their circle. So, I checked online and found a site called herbal-nutrition.net and I was happy to see that they were a directory of the Herbal Nutrition Network. I found an award winning distributor within twelve miles of my home. I quickly contacted Diane and she told me about all the new and exciting improvements in Herbal Life since last time I have been using it. I bought a box of the Formula 1 Instant Healthy Meal Shake Mix and I am on my way to feeling great again. This time I will not lose touch with Herbal Nutrition.

It will get your body moving and perhaps even tone it up.

Patented dual action split suspension provides complete range of motion and freedom of movement. Unsurpassed range of motion lets you go from a slow walk to a full run with no sudden stops.

Murad offers you a satisfaction skincare treatment that gives only positive impact to our health of skin.

The website was very helpful explaining what causes acne and what to do to prevent it, I went for the resurgence renewal home facial treatment and it cost 29.95, they also have a spot treatment for $18 that can target specific areas on your face, and I don't know about you but my face is not the only place where I get breakouts and never really thought about a product to take care of that problem until I seen on murad's website they had acne body wash which controls body breakouts. Dr. Murad is the founder of this skincare treatment. Who has dedicated his life to the science of clear skin and developed the Murad Acne Complex.

So whatever your needs are, I'm sure Murad will have the acne treatments you need, It sure worked for me.

Contouring Brush - Love It!

2009-03-24T14:56:00.000-07:00

The photo above is the gift from my sister in-law. I am so happy that my she gave me this brush as a gift because it's way too expensive for me to buy myself. Ha ha! This is my first MAC brush and this is a great blush brush. I love it! I use it for my blush but will use it when I practice my contouring techniques. It's perfect for depositing a little powder and blending perfectly, w/o being so fluffy that the shimmer gets all over my face. I've seen it on a few other tutorials as well. For me this brush has to be one of the best brushes because it's excellent for brush application or anything that requires precision and contouring. It's soft but just dense enough to pick up the right amount of color. I've washed this several times and it hasn't shed a single hair or lost its shape at all.

I love this brush and would recommend this to anyone. It is a must have! It is perfect for contouring & highlighting.

Looking Good is Feeling Good

2009-03-24T10:36:00.000-07:00

Wow, do you realize how fast the year is going? Pretty soon it will be summer and you want to look good and feel good too so you can enjoy all the activities outdoors. Weight loss can be important and taking care of your skin is equally important. You need to be really cautious about your skin as UV rays are increasing each year with all the global warming. I find that using natural ingredients in the products I select to put on my body can really make a big difference in how my skin reacts. I always want to use a Natural Sunscreen and natural moisturizers as well.

Recently I have been doing research and educating myself on naturally healthy products. I want to do my best to get my hubby and I really on the track to wellness. It is easier on your body to stay healthy then to try to fight a disease. One supplement that I am looking for is Poly MVA which is proving to be a good supplement to keep your cells healthy and boosting your immunities to sickness. I also want to use a new product called Intramax as it also increases the body’s ability to resist viruses and also gets rid of the toxins that attach themselves to cells in the body.

Tips to Have A Healthy Foot:

2009-03-19T21:47:00.000-07:00

What You Need:

* A tub to soak your feet
* Pumice or foot file
* Foot Scrub (optional, but very beneficial)
* Moisturizer
* Nail Polish (optional)

How:

1. Soak your feet in warm water for at least 15 minutes. This is the time to just sit back and say "ah". You can use any bowl or dish that your feet will fit into; I use a white dish tub that I picked up at the dollar store. To help reduce swelling in your feet and ankles, add a quarter cup or so of epsom salts into your water or splurge on a great foot soak. Swirl around with your toes until it dissolves. Even though you might not be able to tell, your feet are thanking you.
2. Exfoliate your skin, concentrating on the calluses. This is the time you really want to concentrate on. There are many different options when it comes to exfoliating tools. Use a damp pumice stone or foot file to scrub down your entire foot. Everyone has areas that need to be filed down, so really take your time. Using a foot scrub makes blasting away dead skin ten times easier. Rub the foot scrub on your feet to get a basic exfoliation all over and then scrub over your calluses with the foot file. When you are done scrubbing, rinse and dry your feet.
3. Moisturize with an intense moisturizer. You can use your favorite moisturizer or get something specifically for your feet. I love using peppermint lotions on my feet, especially after soaking in warm water. The cooling sensation peppermint has lasts long after your soak. Make sure you moisturize not only your feet, but your ankles and legs too.
4. Paint your toenails. An option step, of course. Everyone can pull off bold colors on their toenails, even if they only wear clear (or nothing at all) on their fingernails. OPI always crack me up with their color names. If you can't decide, check out two of my favorites: Mauve-lous Memories and Mrs. O'Leary's BBQ.

Tips:

1. After your foot spa, make sure you clean and bleach your foot tub and foot file.
2. When painting your nails, you may want to use a base and top coat. A basecoat fills in any ridges your nails might have making it an even surface. A top coat seals in the polish, giving it extra protection.
3. Make a foot spa night once a week. Once you get in the habit of taking care of your feet, you won't forget. Store all of your products in your soaking tub. Once a week, before you sit down for your favorite show, grab your foot spa kit and fill up the tub.

Medical Lawsuits

2009-03-19T21:41:00.000-07:00

It seems like every other day there is a new medical “miracle” that is released to the market and doctors are clamoring to apply them to patients. When the patient is in great need it is understandable to try something that is a little bit on the edge or medicine. It can even be little risky if the patients ailment falls into the realm of fatal or life altering in a tragic way. Why not try it if it might save you? However sometimes the “miracle” is not thoroughly tested or has been manufactured poorly. Such is the situation in the instance of the issues on Zimmer Durom cup for joint replacement. Many people had the surgery and the device was faulty and caused them even more pain.

This then ties up our courts and costs the public millions upon millions of dollars to support these cases as they flow through the never ending labyrinth of justice. You can go out and look for an attorney that is educated in all the liability surrounding the product. In the case of a Durom lawyer you would find someone who has prosecuted a case under that very venue. Then the next thing you know you are another Durom lawsuit and spending years possibly in litigation trying to get justice for the harm done to you.

This has really created an industry all of its own and has driven the cost of the insurance for doctors and liability through the roof. I wonder if it is good for society overall but then I think about myself being in the shoes of the person who was injured or who lives in pain because of one of these defective products. Then I am thinking, who am I to say?

I Finally Made it!

Today hubby took me to salon since I been wanting to trim my hair. I don't really want to cut my hair but I need to because my hair is now long again and really looks unhealthy at the tip and had spit ends. I'm glad I did it today.

Before and After

Can you see the difference?

Trimming your hair means to cut the dead hair which is at the bottom. It gives your hair a new look too. You should always get your hair trimmed. I know it sounds peculiar to cut your hair when you want it longer, but it does work. I'm not saying inches just a little snip off the ends will do.

Here's some step by step tips if you want to trim your own hair:

First spray your hair with a little water to make them wet.
Then hold about 10-13 section of hair by clipping the rest of the hair with a clip over your head.
With your two fingers hold your hair from below that need to be trimmed and just snip that portion of the hair, which is below the finger.
And then again take another section of hair that needs to be trimmed and cut them with the length, which you had snipped before.

Hair Trimming Tips:

It is advisable to have a double-sided mirror when you are getting a hair cut. It helps you to see at the back of your hair.
Always use a sharp scissor while trimming your hair. If the scissors are not sharp they might damage your hair giving space to split ends.
Trim your hair even if you do not find slip ends. It is easy to detect splits ends on straight hair than textured hair.

Atkins Diet

2009-03-07T14:47:00.000-08:00

Atkins Diet is a wonderful diet for those addicted to sugar and products with sugar. This is a great way to lose, and a great way to eat for life. My Friend started on this diet because it was recommended by her friend. Friend of mine has had a weight problem for years. And this diet really reversed of her way of eating. I haven't ever tried it but it looks good if you do it properly.
But you should always remember to add exercise on your daily routine because we all know that exercise is the best key.

I recommend this diet to anyone who has struggled with their weight in the past.

Clif Shot Bloks

2009-03-04T08:16:00.000-08:00

What is Clif Shot Bloks ?? Shot Bloks are basically a spin-off on the traditional gels made famous by Iron men and marathoners around the world. It come in different of flavors, including black cherry, pina colada, orange, lemon-lime, margarita (with triple the sodium), strawberry, cola,and cran-razz. But my favorite are black cherry and pina colada flavors. My hubby love to eating Shot Bloks bec they taste really good.

Shot Bloks is good if you want to go for a long ride. Eating on the road is one of the toughest tricks to learn on long bike rides and the tricks to maintaining nutrition during a several hour ride is variety. The different flavors can help keep you eating when you really would rather just ride.

Clif Shot Bloks Organic Energy Chews are a recent addition to the athlete’s nutritional armamentarium. Shot Bloks are an important component of my cycling nutrition plan. The only bad thing about it is the Shot Bloks are nutritionally incomplete.

Shot Bloks are basically a spin-off on the traditional gels made famous by Iron men and marathoners around the world. They are a USDA certified organic product made of brown rice syrup, sugar cane juice with natural flavors and colors and a few other minor ingredients formed into a 1.5 cm cube of firm gelatin. Each package contains six cubes which constitutes 2 “servings”. Each serving contains 100 calories with no fat or protein and includes 70mg of sodium and 20mg of potassium. I paid $2.25 for one package at my local bike shop.

I would recommend Shot Bloks as a significant improvement over traditional mucus-like gels.
It can give you the boost you need

Ensure - Shake

2009-02-28T18:14:00.000-08:00

Hello guys! how ya doing? It's been a few days since I last posted. I have been busy lately. Today not much going on here...Same as usual I'm staying home with my hubby. Anyhow my friend was recently hit with the flu. So today while my hubby and I was at the Pharmacy I bought some Ensure Shakes. Since she don't have appetite to eat at all, maybe I could get her to drink the calories, and vitamins that he needed. I got her some Ensure Strawberries and Cream Shake. I figured out this shake must be good for her. Ensure is also good if your not getting enough calories or nutrition through eating. It comes in an 8 oz container. Its kinda expensive, but worth it if they are needed. The shakes are full of vitamins and minerals and they also have a decent fat percentage. So if you want to maintain your weight, gain weight, or get some extra added nutrition try this Ensure Shake.

The shake provides 250 calories, and half of that is from fat. The total grams of fat are 6 grams, saturated fat 1 gram, Polyunsaturated Fat 3 grams, Monounsaturated Fat 2 grams. The shakes also have Cholesterol 5 mg. Potassium 390 mg, total carb. 40 grams, Dietery Fiber 1 gram, sugars 22 grams, Protein 9 grams. Sodium 190 mg.

To all my friends here...thanks so much for visiting my site!

Excellent Everyday Shampoo!

2009-02-19T17:45:00.000-08:00

Hello guys! how's your day? Mine was great. My hubby and I went to Walmart today to do some shopping. And wow all the valentines stuff was 75% off good deal huh! I bought some stuff toys and stuff animals and I will mail it to the Philippines for my nieces. I also grab some Garnier Fructis Fortifying 2 in 1 Shampoo + Conditioner. That's our favorite shampoo.

Actually I’d started using Garnier FructisGarnier Fructis for Fortifying Shampoo Sleek & Shine 2 years ago when hubby brought it in the Philippines. I hate it at first because of the scent and it smell like medicine to me. ha ha! but the result on my hair was nice that's why I started to like it. My hubby love the Garnier Fructis products. This is the only shampoo that he used. The Garnier Fructis Fortifying 2 in 1 Shampoo + Conditioner had the lovely scent that all the Garnier shampoo products have.

I recommend this anyone! Garnier Fructis will change the way you look at the shampoo and conditioner. It's a great, every day shampoo. Don’t expect miracles, though!

How 'bout you peeps? What kind of shampoo do you use?

Bad News For Hearts Patients

2009-02-19T16:32:00.000-08:00

One of my hubby’s friends had a severe heart attack about two years ago. He had a blood clot that was logged in his leg while traveling by airplane to Europe and it broke loose. The clot reached his heart and if it had not been for his wife’s quick thinking in providing CPR and calling 911 he would probably not be here now. The sad thing is that after his heart attack and open heart surgery he had to have a pace maker put in to keep his heart regular. Now two years later he is suffering from severe chest pains again. That is when we found out about the Defibrillator Lead Recall .

We are all wondering now because we see people filing a Defibrillator Lead Lawsuit almost daily now. Apparently certain types of defibrillator leads cause more trouble for the patient. It could well be that our friend has Defective Defibrillator Leads that were used with his pacemaker that is causing him this trouble. While we certainly hope that is not the issue, you can never be sure. Unless, the pain subsides he is going to have to have surgery again. He has been putting the surgery off because he suffers so much from the invasive surgery that he does not want to go through it again. It is a shame that these companies rush their products to market without thorough testing. We pray that my hubby does not lose his friend.

I want one!

2009-02-16T19:28:00.000-08:00

Hi guys how's your valentine's? mine was great! Oh well...It's been a few days since I last posted. I have been lazy this past few days. Today was fun although the weather is nasty outside. It's been raining here for a week now. Anyway i went to my friend's house today. We had lunched and had a little chit chat. She told me about her new Chi 1 True Ceramic Hair Straightener. Oh man! she was talking about the whole time and she really like it. She have tried so many flat irons but i think this one her my favorite now.

I been wanted to buy hair straightener but i'd like something that worked better bec I always have Frizzy, dry, and damaged hair. So I guess I should buy this Hair Straightener. It gets very hot quickly and is safe to use as far as I can see. Its kinda pricey, it's still a great product and totally worth the price.

Power Shopping

2009-02-16T19:25:00.000-08:00

When you are into shopping like I am you spend a lot of time looking at online stores and even some of the supposed “bargain shopping search engines” that are touted so much on the web. However, so many of the shopping engines are bogus because they take advertisers who pay a premium and promote them above others on their search results. This is not what I am looking for when I use an engine to find a certain product. I want honest evaluation of all online stores and the results showing the best price not the paid for listing.

I recently wanted to check out some Health and Beauty items because I wanted to get my hubby something nice for Valentines. I looked at a Men’s Grooming Guide to find out what kind of things to get because I don’t know! I’m a girl you know. So, I found this great information on men and the kinds of products they use in their Handsome Care! Lol, Not Beauty Care. My hubby shaves every day with a razor and I sometimes see his skin is getting flakes and it is sometimes red on his neck area. I thought that a good moisturizer would be a nice gift so I found John Allan’s Face Replenishment Moisturizer. I liked it because it was natural ingredients that moisturize and sooth. I got a great price of $24.95 and my hubby loves it and me of course! Happy Shopping!

Fit For Life - Sensible And Common Sense Diet

2009-02-10T14:54:00.000-08:00

When I first read the Fit For Life book the ideas were challenging and very interesting. And If you haven't heard of Fit For Life, It's a way of eating that will energize you and it is based on the principles of natural hygiene. Harvey and Marilyn Diamond came up with this marvelous healthy eating plan to help people lose weight. My mother in-law tried this diet 2 years ago and she was happy with the results. Fit for Life really helped her to learned how to eat, when to eat, and she also learned how to combine the food choices. I bet this diet will be good for my hubby since he want to lose some weight but I don't think it's gonna happen because keeping the chips out of the house is hard and I'm sure he can't handle eating nothing but fruits or veggies in morning. lol!

Anyway the best thing about this program is, not only great for losing weight, but you will feel better and healthier too.

check out Fit for Life... It's easy to understand. This is good if you want to loss weight through nutritional changes and if you are looking for a tasty way to get more fresh foods into your diet.

Rip Off Alert!!!

2009-02-08T17:32:00.000-08:00

I’m writing this to warn you guys againts a scam that is pushing a diet pill called Acai Berry & Body Cleanse. There are hundreds of sites pushing this diet plan, they make the site look like it’s somebody from the area you live in. They do this by reading your Ip Address and doing a locator down to your state then they will put your state name in the blog. People read this and think oh this is a local person so It should be ok to try this diet. Then they sign up for the trial which is supposed to be for 2 weeks but the order doesn’t get to you for several days and they will start the two week clock when you placed your order not when you received it. Next thing you know, not only are you being billed for the $29.00 for the trial, you’re billed another $79.00 for the next month orders. Not only that, they send you credit card information to another site called fitness.com and they charged you $29.00 to set up an account on their site. They do this by hiding the other company in the find print when you check accept.

This diet pill doesn’t even work so once you discover you been ripped off for over 130 dollars. Bottom line is if you see this Acai Berry diet advertise, it doesn’t work..don’t buy it. They are scammers, RUN AWAY!!

Yeah she always goes there to play Bingo but today she volunteered to clean their finger nails for free. I had fun watching them playing Bingo then after the game I help my mom in-law to clean their finger nails. They were so happy to have free manicured. Since I been here in California I always do my mother in-law finger nails / toe nails and She love the way do it. I remember when I first went to have my nail's done here in the US Ohh gosh...I hate the way they manicured my nails ha ha...They don't clean it or manicure really good.

Get In Shape

2009-02-05T16:47:00.000-08:00

Our whole family is committing to fitness this year. We want to be healthy and feel good instead of always being tired and catching every flu or cold that comes our way. We discussed the various ways to get into shape and we covered like joining a gym which can be fun but then you are locked into long term commitment and if you don’t use it that is really a waste. We also considered just jogging or walking outside but then you come up with an excuse when it is cold or wet.

So finally we came to the conclusion to buy equipment for the house so we can exercise when we want to and not have any excuses. I thought about one of those stepping machines but those can be really hard on your knees when you use them a lot. I want to keep my sexy body in shape but I don’t want an injury. We finalized on a treadmill as the most exercise and not hard on the body. Our favorite is a Smooth 6.45 because it is a shock absorbing treadmill and also has a sound system build in all you do is plug your mp3 or CD player into it. It also has an easy fold up or fold down system built in that makes if it easy to put it up out of the way or bring it down for use.

Apricot Scrub

2009-02-04T11:42:00.000-08:00

Apricot Scrub is the perfect texture to scrubs away dull skin. I used to buy St Ives Apricot Scrub Invigorating and I love it because it scrubs away my dead skin that Gives me a Fresh Feeling! It easy to rinse off and makes my face feel really smooth every time i wash it. Invigorating scrub is really works for me. I just can't handle the fragrance so I use this twice a week. I guess it's not that bad, i just don't like the smell of apricot but still it's awesome. This product really improved the texture and quality of my skin.

If you want your dry skin to be looking healthy and vibrant then you should try this.

I wouldn't recommend Invigorating scrub to those people with severe acne or sensitive skin bec it may irritate pimples. So don't scrub it too hard or too long.

The Best Solution!

2009-02-02T16:25:00.000-08:00

Hi peeps! How's your monday? mine was great! I just talked to my friend from Arizona today and she told me about her new Acuvue Oasys Contact lens. I remember before, she told me that she couldn't pass the driving test because of her eye. She can't really see without her glasses.

Acuvue Oasys contact lenses really help my friends life she can leave them in for long periods. My friend said the lenses are both easy to wear and to remove. This is lenses really works great, full of moisture and do not feel like you're wearing anything on your eyes. This product will be good for my dad and my step mom.

Acevue Oasys Contact lens are perfect for anyone who suffers from dry eyes. My friend have been wearing this contact lenses for a weeks now and she really love it.

Does anyone here have acuvue oasys contact lens?

Sauna, So Healthy!

2009-02-02T16:08:00.000-08:00

I recently went to a gym with a friend using a guest pass and after the work out we got in the infrared saunas. I couldn't believe how good I felt afterwards I don't remember how long I was in there but its so relaxing. I started talking to my friend about getting one for my house. First thing I did was to see what kind of saunas this was because i had no clue about them. I found out it was a Far Infrared Sauna. It penetrates the body and deep heating really helps the muscles and doesn't effect the heart. I found out that perspiration remove toxins from the body. I guess that's why I felt so good afterwards.

Anyway, back to getting one for my house when I got home I looked online and came across westcoastsaunas. The prices vary, I went ahead and got the Newport. It was a little higher end one, it was around $2,500. You can get one for under $2000 and it's worth every penny. I have a very busy lifestyle and having infrared sauna at home is such a luxury. I use it 3 to 4 times a week. Its one of my favorite purchases that I got for my self and my hubby. It's nice to have some quiet time to ourselves and listen to some good music with the DVD player. We really love our new sauna, everyone should get one.

Light and Oil - Free

2009-01-31T14:23:00.000-08:00

The best moisturizer I have ever used during Summer time is Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel and I love it. I have been using this since I got here in US and I really like this gel rather than cream because it's not too reach and it works really great. It makes my skin soft, moisturized, not greasy or oily feeling and it absorbs very quickly. I use it at night since the gel does not have SPF protection, In the morning I always find my skin is soft, balanced and no dry patches. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel is a great summertime moisturizer or if you have oily skin type.

I highly recommend this if you want a really nice moisturizer for your oily skin during summer time.

It's A Wonderful Perfume

2009-01-30T15:15:00.000-08:00

Back when I was in Philippines every time my husband come to see me he always bring me a gifts and one of those gifts is Dream Angels Heavenly by Victoria Secret . I really love this perfume and body lotion. Great smell and it last longer. I bet you would like this perfume as long you like floral smell. It's pretty pricey though but you won't be disappointed. The reason i really like this product is because it is not over powering unlike the other. I have purchased this a few times in the past and always love it.

Wearing perfume is nice because it will makes you feel young, pretty and good about your self. I'm sure you don't want to go outside stinking ha ha ha....It's always nice to be smell good and get compliments about my scents.

Usually there's only a few brand that I really like because some of it is really strong that it gives me upset stomach, headache and make me feel dizzy. I really hate those people who have a heavy perfume. We need to choose the right perfume because we're putting chemicals on our skin and breathing them all day long. If the perfume that your using is not good then it can't be
helpful for you health. And also make sure that you don't have any allergy reactions due some oil and fragrance.

EnergyFirst...

2009-01-30T14:24:00.000-08:00

My hubby recently went back to work and he found himself tired and just dragging in the morning. He would have a few caffeine drinks to get going in the morning. I wanted to get something better for him something healthy maybe a Natural Protein Powder drink. It's a lot better than the soda's that he would usually drink. That's when i discovered Protein Shake. The first time he tried it he was waiting for that chalky taste.

He was pleasantly surprised the Whey Protein Isolate Vanilla drink actually tasted good and he now looks forward to drinking it everyday. In just a few days he seems like he got a better nights sleep, he woke up with more energy that lasted the whole day. It's really a great product and I would recommend it to all my family and friends. Oh by the way you get this cool blender bottle that has a device that mixes it up nice. So if you have a busy lifestyle and need a protein drink that works EnergyFirst is a great product, easy to mix, tastes great and really increases your energy level. Thanks EnergyFirst.

I love Brownie!

2009-01-29T13:33:00.000-08:00

You Are a Brownie

Decadent and intense, you aren't for the weakhearted.

Those who can deal with your strong flavor find out how sweet you really are.

What Dessert Are You Most Like?

I always enjoy brownie rather than cookies. My mother in-law knows how to make brownies and it was sooooo good...I love brownies esp if they were just out of the oven. Usually the best thing about brownies is usually the worst thing about brownies because they taste so good but their fattening just loaded with sugar. But my hubby and i loves brownies no matter how fattening they are.

I'm Lovin It...

2009-01-28T09:00:00.000-08:00

Speaking of makeup...last year i have received a set of Bare Escentuals as birthday present. I only wear make up occasionally unlike my sister who loves to wear make up, she don't like going out with out makeup on. Makeup is one if her addiction he he....She always wants her skin to stay healthy and beautiful. My sister is my make up artist and my hair stylist as well. She knows to use make up in many different styles and very picky when it comes to quality hmmm... Im Thinking of getting her one of Bare Escentuals products? what do you think? She might like it. Bare Escentuals it's a good product for her skin. They has Bare Minerals foundation, that can brightens your skin. This really is a great value, and it's good for you! I think she'll be happy overall with this product. Makeup always enhances the beauty of a women.

I really love it! I recommend it to everyone!

Mexican food is the best

2009-01-27T09:26:00.000-08:00

You Are Mexican Food

Spicy yet dependable.

You pull punches, but people still love you.

What Kind of Food Are You?

I like Mexican foods as long as it's hot and spicy and I love chips and salsa more than anything else haha...I also like the enchiladas, tacos and more... I used to hate This foods when i first got here but now Mexican foods is one my favorite. I just like the rich flavors in Mexican food I think it's a little less fattening. But watch out if you pregnant because eating high in fat is might be harmful to your body and the baby. Maybe that's why some people said that Mexican food is not good for pregnant women. I think there's only one thing we need to worry about Mexican food are the FATS and the cuisine and not really healthy. But still I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD and nothing can change that ha ha...

Dreamy living

2009-01-27T09:14:00.000-08:00

Living in California is beyond what I ever imagined it might be. I have been taking in all the great things to do and fun places to be and now I have dreams for the future in mind. I would love to own one of these beautiful houses in the hills that can see forever and are so private you don’t have a neighbor for a mile. It is not that I am anti-social or anti-anything as far as that goes but I have noticed these wonderful homes all over the state.

My dream home would have an adobe exterior as I really like the look of adobe but most of it is just brown or tan that I have seen. I would follow my pinay heritage and make mine bright yellow or light blue in our tradition. Haha! Then you could see my house from far, far away! My in-laws have a great pool in their back yard and we have one now but it is not big enough. I would love to have one of those Hydrotherapy pools that you can exercise as well as have fun in. I know it is a little more expensive but I deserve it!

Nothing would be better then waking up and taking my coffee by the side of Swim spa and watch the sun come up in the morning. My hubby who doesn’t drink coffee could be in the pool getting a little Aquatic therapy to help his sore back. It would be healthy for him and great fun for the whole family. I would also want my kitchen to be on the back of the house next to the exercise pool with French doors opening out onto the patio. That way it would be easy to go in and out. I would even just open the doors and leave them open in nice weather to bring that beautiful environment indoors with me! Well, I can always dream, right?

Get fit and have fun!

2009-01-26T18:40:00.000-08:00

My mother in-law and her best friend have been members of the YMCA for three years now. They do the water aerobics It sounds like fun. That's why I went with my mother in-law one time and i really enjoyed it. It seemed more fun than actual work out.

They also have the arthritis water exercise. This is really great for the elderly but i think i want to join and try it ha ha ha...The YMCA membership is reasonable and it's family-oriented. Too many things going on at the YMCA and it's really perfect fitness center.

Shop.com Check it out!

2009-01-26T18:27:00.000-08:00

I been doing a lot of shopping lately. My sister and I like to shop for our nieces and prepare packages and send them home. We do it because it is much of a fun surprise when they get on the web cam and open the box for us to watch them. We get to see them take them out, their big smiles and how cute they look when they try on the clothes. We are always looking for great bargains because clothes aren’t cheap and we like to give them brand names so they are just as cool as all the other kids.

Recently a friend of mine told me about Shop.com. I went to visit the site and I was really amazed. This website has more than I expected. I usually go to other websites but Shop.com is a really great online shopping site and I love it. It has good deals and it's very convenient. For instance, I found this cute Cottage Bed Tent on their site and it was only $68.99 we saved $13.00. You should have seen them playing in the tent. I’ll have to post those pics soon. I really do recommend this site and not just for kids clothes. They have electronics, furniture, and house wares. The time to go there is now because they are having an awesome clearance sale. Enjoy!

You Are Raisin Bran

You are the type of person who wants in all in life...

And to the surprise of some, you usually do have it all.

If something only serves one purpose, it's of no use to you.

While people may assume you are greedy, you really are just seeking balance.

Unsurprisingly, you want your breakfast to be both healthy and tasty.

Like with all things, you won't settle for anything but the best.

What Kind of Cereal Are You?

Wow... I like to eat cereal but not The Raisin Bran because I hate raisin lolz... Hubby and I love lucky charms and Grape Nuts with sugar that's actually what we eat! And that's my hubby's favorite.

Tongue Cleaner

2009-01-23T12:41:00.000-08:00

I use a tongue cleaner instead of brushing my tongue. I really like it because it does the job quite well And a tongue cleaner works much better than an ordinary toothbrush.

We should all know that cleaning the tongue is really important. The tongue is one of the most important part of the mouth where most of bacteria are found. the whitish particle that are seen in the tongue after eating is the food particles left and harmful bacteria can start to grow. Its not enough to clean the teeth to be prevented from bad breath, cleaning the tongue is another effective way.

I know we all brush our teeth and many of us clean our tongue too. and im pretty sure that some people don't clean their tongue. They should though, and plan to start. Anway they're available usually at drugstores. They're normally shaped like a spoon.

So how do you people clean your tongue? Do you use your brush itself or use a tongue cleaner?

Protecting Mom And Dad.

2009-01-23T11:12:00.000-08:00

Our parents are aging and we can’t be with them every day to make sure that they are safe. It used to be that when parents grew older they had a son or a daughter who was a stay at home parent that could care for them. More and more seniors are living on their own and trying to care for themselves. There is a real big industry springing up that provides senior home care where they will go by the home and check on them or even spend time each day in a helper role. Some clean the home and prepare meals. You can also get more advances help that will dress and make sure prescribed medicines are taken. However, our seniors are fiercely independent and the use of a Medical Alarm is often counted on as a way to alert help should they have problems.

People now though suffer a lot with diseases like Alzheimer’s or dementia where they may not be able to be aware enough of their surroundings to push a button to alert help. I found a couple of other devices that don’t require the person to push a button to summon assistance. One is a GPS Tracking Bracelet that not only can be used to locate them but is also a built in cellular device so they can speak with someone as well. I think this a great new device and it does a lot to protect someone. The other one I like is called a Fall Alert that automatically alerts medical personnel to a fall and does not require the person be conscious or able to push a button to summon help. This is a new world and we have to have new ways to keep our family safe.

Do you shave your legs?

2009-01-23T10:20:00.000-08:00

Do you shave your legs? Some woman shave their legs as a part of grooming regimen. I haven't tried it yet but I think it'll give us smooth legs and silky skin. I'ts not easy to do by yourself but there is a ways on how to do it correctly. So make sure you follow the steps or else you will end up with little cute and dry legs.

Here's the right step :

Prepare the skin of your legs for shaving by soaking the legs in warm water. The best time to shave the legs would be after spending some time in the tub or after a long shower. Getting the legs soaked softens and relaxes the hair, which will make it easier for the razor to glide through and help you avoid getting your skin nicked.

Do not dry your legs before shaving. Just get your razor and do your work right after you step out of the bath or the shower. Shaving the legs while the skin is still soft and wet greatly aids the hair�s removal.

To keep the razor gliding smoothly across your skin and to keep the individual hair strands up to make shaving easier, lather your legs first before you apply the razor. Use shaving cream or shaving gel. Soap works just as fine, too.

Use gentle strokes that go on the direction opposite the hair�s growth. Take a number of passes over the skin to get all the hair off, but apply only minimal pressure on your skin to avoid nicking and irritation.

Be careful in shaving areas with uneven skin, like the ankles and the knees, and also on scabs, if you have any.

If you are having trouble shaving some areas, make the hair strands rise by pulling tightly at your skin.

When you are done shaving your legs, rinse your legs off carefully to remove the residue of shaving cream or gel or soap that you used, as well as the bits of hair that were shaven off.

Pat your skin dry and apply lotion or moisturizer to keep your skin smooth and to avoid flaking. Also, if you find that you have missed a spot, touch it up at once.

Us Cars

2009-01-23T09:01:00.000-08:00

Today you can’t just run out and buy a big luxury vehicle and be comfortable with the payment and the cost to operate it. American manufacturers have really taken a beating and a lot of it is deserved as they did not respond quickly with their product lines to meet the vastly changing market. The Big Three do not have a lot of entries in the economy market but there is the 2009 Ford Fusion. It is a well designed car and very efficient. The other two manufacturers have made promises but nothing has shown up in the dealerships yet.

When you look at the stability of the Big Three Ford stands out as being in the best financial shape in a rough downturn in the economy. That is good and the Ford Fusion may well be their leading seller in the upcoming few years. It really is a great car and you might want to check some Ford Fusion reviews if you are in the market. In the short term these manufacturers need to develop fuel efficient cars that they can sell at an acceptable price to customers. They will also need to build it efficiently which may require some retooling but will definitely require an analysis of the labor cost and its impact on the end cost. Bottom line is they need more offerings like the Fusion and less like the big SUVS and trucks.

Fight Aging Skin

2009-01-22T13:02:00.000-08:00

Aging really is not fun for the skin! My hubby hates to look in the mirror because of wrinkles but he is a guy so it’s ok on him. I know lots of girl friends who even at their thirties are starting to get some serious skin aging problems. A lot of them recommend Resurgence so I went and checked out their website. Not that I need it yet but so I can talk about it intelligently to my friends.

One of the first things that jumped out at me is that Joan Lunden who is almost 60 years old endorses and is the spokeswoman for the murad resurgence products and she looks fantastic. I would have thought she was in her forties. That is a big boost in my mind. The other thing is that through their research they have found that skin aging is related to losing the elasticity of your skin. By replacing the nutrients and keeping hormones in check they make the skin last longer and healthier. The resurgence infomercial tells you all about it and is worth the short time it takes to watch. So don’t wait for your skin to start to tell you it needs attention become informed and care for your skin with the best products available. You will be glad to see the results as you live your life!

Choco All You Wanted!

2009-01-19T09:57:00.000-08:00

Chocolate believe it or not is very healthy. Because it is made from "plants" that are dark in appearance they contain many of the same benefits of "vegetables". It can be a good antioxidant. The antioxidant protects the body from aging! SO, eat chocolate the darker the better! Enjoy without the guilt. hehe!

Artifical or Acrylic Nails Rocks!

2009-01-17T10:05:00.000-08:00

Artificial Nails are very pretty. I have tried them once back in California and it looks awesome on my nails. Besides blogging, chatting all I think is rocking my nails out. I love putting stuffs in my nails and decorate with different blingie in it. Artificial nails can buy in lots of stores like walmart, salon and malls. It comes with lil glue and You can have them at any length and at any color. I think every girls would love to try this. Some people use the Acrylic Nails, it is fake nails that can be glued into the real nails. I don't really like the idea. I prefer the Artificial nails. It's a lot easier and more comfy but some girls likes it better than artificial because it make them feel pretty and very feminine. Acrylic nails i's too much of a hassle for me.

How about you? Which one one do you prefer?

Know Your Skin Type.

Here's the tips I would like to share to everyone.

1. Cleanse your face with cleansing milk.

2. After an hour, take a clean tissue and wipe your forehead, nose, chin and cheeks. If you find oily residue from all of the above mentioned areas, then you have oily skin.

3. If you find oily residue on the tissue only from forehead, nose and chin then you have combination skin.

4. If the tissue picks up dry, flaky skin then you have dry skin.

5. Those lucky few Scooty girls who pick up neither oil nor dry flakes can be said to have normal skin.

6. There are others who have very sensitive skin which reacts quickly and often adversely to hot and cold temperatures, common place chemicals found in soaps, detergents and cosmetics. Those with sensitive skin have to be careful before choosing any product.

Hair Loss Treatment

2009-01-09T09:27:00.000-08:00

Tips on how to take care of a hair loss treatment.

Don't colour, perm or straighten your hair too frequently
Repeated exposure to chemicals while colouring, perming or straightening could lead to permanent damage and loss of hair. Colouring should be done by a professional and always insist on a pre-colouring hair protective conditioner before applying colour.

For brittle hair, apply an egg white over your hair for 15 minutes and shampoo.

For dandruff, apply tea tree oil (available at shops selling essences and natural oils). Lemon juice or vinegar mixed with a spoon of olive oil can also be applied an hour before shampooing.

How to improve Nutrition?

2009-01-08T10:22:00.000-08:00

To Improve Nutrition:

1. Buy whole foods -- whether canned, frozen, or fresh from the farm -- and use them in place of processed foods whenever possible.
2. Reject foods and drinks made with corn syrup, a calorie-dense, nutritionally empty sweetener that many believe is worse for the body than sugar, says Katz.
3. Start each dinner with a mixed green salad. Not only will it help reduce your appetite for more caloric foods, but it also will automatically add veggies to your meal.

How about you do you have any ideas on how to improve nutrition? If so please share your ideas.

Ok here is the Water and Vs Coke Facts.

WATER

2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger.

3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.

4. One glass of water shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.

5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

COKE

1. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.

3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
