How to Delay Aging??


As we grow older, our skin tends to look like a rough road. The wrinkle all over the surface tends to surface vividly as age progresses. As they say, you can’t stop a person from aging because it’s inevitable. Everybody grows old right!

Anyway, as the line says that everybody grows old remains true, there are some people says that you can delay the signs of aging! Well, I quite agree to the fact since wrinkles and dry skin comes earlier even to those who are young because these can be brought about by stress, unhealthy diet and from synthetic beauty products applied to our faces.

So, how do you delay the signs of aging? I think the answer is within us already. First, we should live a stress-free life (if you can, at least lessen the factors that cause it). Second, always eat healthy and balanced diet with regular exercise. Third, use all natural products to clean your body such bath salts, body butters, and other organic beauty products!

Speaking of organic beauty products, I saw several bath salt oils at www.hothousebotanicals.com. They have a considerable inventory of natural and organic aromatherapy bath and body products. Their products are like bath salts homemade since it’s made from 100% vegan ingredients and pure essential oils. Since it’s made from pure essential oils, you’ll enjoy a stress free application from smelling the aroma from their products.

Oh well, at least there is hope if you want to look younger, right? ^_^

Spicing Up Marital Relationships

To make marital relationship last longer and the bond stronger, it requires a lot of efforts in both couples to make it work. So, they must think of ways to make their relationship spice up to keep the flame alive.

There are many things to do this. Of course, first and foremost, is to yield in God’s guidance and wisdom to make the relationship work and last longer and of course some other ways to build up a relationship.

Anyway, I am here to talk about making the marital relationship come to life in pure flames! Though married, couple should not stop in keeping the romance alive especially in their own humble abode. So, to fulfill this, it is but normal for married men and women to buy sexy lingerie for the couple’s pleasure! Buying sexy panties, lingerie, costumes and clothes are also essential to make marital relationship a pure bliss.

This way, couples can recreate the romantic pleasures of the honeymoon stage! Spicing marriage life is also a must to keep the flame burning inside. And to be honest, I myself own a sexy lingerie in red!

On Garnier Light Eye Roll On

If you noticed in my profile picture at the side, I have a very prominent eye bags. Actually, this one is better than how I look right now. This picture was taken late last year when I was not yet pregnant and not that stressed. But when I welcomed 2009, I also welcomed plenty of stress and sleepless nights!

Anyway, since I want to improve how I look, I asked one of my friends who stays awake all night but have a lesser visibility of eye bags. I asked her what she is using. She immediately replied that she uses Garnier Light Eye Roll On to lighten and lessen the darkness of her eye bags.

After hearing my friend, I immediately visited Watsons at SM to see if they have one available. Unfortunately, they were out of stock by the time I visited them. So after a few months, I visited again and was able to grab one. It cost around Php300.00 for a small green stick.

When I got home, I immediately opened the box and read the instructions. Since there were no harmful chemicals (I am pregnant by the way), I immediately used it for few days and then totally forgot! So, I was not able to prove their advertisement that it can help lighten your dark eye bags in 14 days.

Oh well, I still have it here, inside our refrigerator. I plan to use it again while drinking lots of water as dermatologist advised. As for sleeping eight hours, I guess that is virtually impossible! I work mostly at night and with the baby coming, I guess I will have more.

Anyway, I will to make a follow-up post if it will really improve the dark spots under my eyes. I am still determine to look good and feel good even if I am a mother of three already. ^_^

First Entry to Pink Fridays Meme!

They say PINK is the color of fashion and beauty. Well, I couldn't argue with that right? It is indeed the color not only for fashion and beauty but also symbolizes the color of health among women (breast and cervix cancer awareness).

October is the Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the pink ribbon above symbolizes one's support for finding help and cure for breast cancer victims and survivors. So I guess my first entry is about support the Breast Cancer Awareness for All Women!

A Virus Got My PC

Honestly, I am totally frustrated right now! Why? Because I am accessing my blogs via internet café! My husband installed a game at my PC last night while I was resting and sleeping. When I woke up around 12mn, I was shocked to find out that my PC will not turn on anymore. I did every possible troubleshooting procedure but I think my PC got a virus!

I think my virus protection software was not enough to safeguard my PC because I could not even access the safe mode to perform a virus removal procedure. I think I need to buy a more stable and strong virus protection that can help me not only with viruses but also from spywares, Trojans, malwares, spam and more. I also think I need something that can help prevent my children from accessing unsuitable sites for minors since they are already using the internet.

Oh well, once my PC is back, I think I need to get a suitable virus protection software for me. I was thinking about getting ZSecurity AntiVirus since it’s affordable at $39.95 and that’s for three users already!! Anyway, I just hope my files are intact. I will be more frustrated if I lost them all.

Patrick Swayze Dies at 57

Just this morning, I was shocked with the news that Patrick Swayze died at the age of 57 years old because of pancreatic cancer yesterday, September 14, 2009 Monday. He is most remembered in the movies “Dirty Dancing” and “Ghost” where he earned three Golden Globe nominations for each movie.

Anyway, it is quite a shock hearing this news since the day I heard Ed McMahon died. Since then all the great celebrities I have known while growing up died because of cancer or sickness related crime (ie, Michael Jackson). Not only international celebrities but even our local political figure, Former President Corazon C. Aquino, a symbol of democracy and freedom here in the Philippines, died just last month as well.

2009 is indeed a year you can’t forget. All famous and great people have rested in peace within this year. I hope the death bandwagon will stop. It is so sad to lose many great people just in just one year!

Smart Shopping this Christmas Season

Women love to shop right? Well, not all but the general population of all women loves to shop and is addicted to shopping! Now tell me if I am wrong? Not! Anyway, speaking about shopping, some women loves to shop for valid reasons while others are compulsive shoppers. But in my today’s post, I will be talking about Christmas Shopping in a mom’s perspective! So here we go…


As a mom, shopping is a part of our being. We shop not out of careless impulsive behavior but of necessity. We buy our children clothes and shoes to wear when needed. We buy them toys and others needed stuff if the occasion calls for it just like the Christmas Season! But as mother, we are always on the lookout for great deals to save on our shopping funds! That is why coupon codes and other promotional items are mom’s best friend not only during Christmas Season but the whole year round!

Speaking about coupon codes, I stumbled upon www.offers.com and I was so enthusiastic! Why? Because they have listed the best online offers when it comes to promo codes, coupon codes, discounts, deals, free trials and other great promotional offers that can really help out save every mom! And guess what?! Availing these promotional offers earlier will real help you save more and that means buying more!

Well, if we moms want to stretch the budget, early Christmas shopping is the best way to do it!

Got Rejected!

Today I got an email from SS. They said that this blog was rejected and not fit for the marketplace.

To be honest, I was kind of sad because I only have few blogs at blogspot that I really maintain; this one and the other one which is all about online business, blogging resources, online shops and other related topics (also rejected last year). I was hoping that this one could make it but unfortunately it didn’t. Too bad! :(

Anyway, I have few blogs that has their own domain but I have not opted to apply at their marketplace. I have devoted these other blogs to other matters. I guess the rejection of this blog is something I should deal with and move on. There are sacrifices that I have to take for the betterment of my blogging career. So, life goes on!

Oh well, how about you? Have you experienced your blog being rejected? How did you deal with it?

Watch Free Films Online

I am a certified couch potato. Well, not only me but my husband and so as my two children. We love watching movies and even sometimes go into a weekend movie marathon. And because of this very enthusiastic family hobby of ours, we end up spending too much for entertainment. So, we decided to look for an alternative way to watch movies by finding reliable sources online.

And guess what?! We can now enjoy free films online because I just bumped into www.newmoviesforfree.com! At New Movies for Free, you can watch films online such as romantic comedy films, best war films, new action films and more. Take note, for FREE!

So, I think I already found the solution on how to cut-off our movie watching expenses. We can now watch free films online!

True Meaning of My Name

I saw another FaceBook application about generating the true meaning of my name. Since, I love taking and trying new applications at FaceBook, I immediately keyed in my name.

So, this is what I got!

Isn't that cute? I am R-ight. I am U-nusual. I am B-eautiful and I am Y-outhful! How awesome can my day get?! LOL!

Gold as Investments

As a woman, I always view gold as a precious metal with the sole purpose of being the finest accessory on earth, a symbol of royalty, status quo and beauty. But did you know that gold is more than that, it is considered by the financial sector as the most stable investment portfolio for those who are seeking individual retirement accounts (IRA). When economic instability hits caused by war, inflation, high oil and gas prices, weakness of the US dollar and more, gold is still stable that is why it is often referred as the “crisis commodity.” And because of this many people are investing to gold IRA transfers to have a secured future when retirement comes.

Now, you may have several questions in your mind such as how can I own gold in my IRA or how to put gold in an IRA? Well, to know more about buying and investing gold IRA transfer, I suggest you visit the expert site on this – www.goldcoinsgain.com! They have years of expertise on this topic and have been featured by many media.

So, if you’re interested in investing gold for your future, learn how to do this by visiting and learning from www.goldcoinsgain.com!

Life Path Reading

According to the FaceBook Application I subscribed too, this is my Life Path Reading for this day:

Love:
Today would be a good day to express any feelings you've been holding back from someone you care about.

Notes: I think I always do express my feelings everyday to those I love, especially my husband. LOL!!

Trust your first instinct, it's usually the right thing to do, and people will praise you for your decision.

Notes: Hmmmm....I don't have a career besides my stay-at-home life.

Health:
You've been doing really well at keeping up your health!

Notes: Really?? I am not sure of this!

Wealth:
A promotion or large sum of money may be coming into your possession soon! You may be able to take that vacation you've been wanting!

Notes: Our loan will be released?!

Your Credit Score and It's Importance

According to Wikipedia, a credit score is a numerical expression based on a statistical analysis of a person's credit files, to represent the creditworthiness of that person. A credit score is primarily based on credit report information typically sourced from credit bureaus.


Based on the meaning itself, it states the fact that your credit scores are as valuable as your reputation. If your reputation shows negative feedbacks, then you get lesser social approval from colleagues and co-workers. So, if your credit score is bad, creditors will not entertain any loan or credit application you may have.

Some people may think that their credit scores are good but when a credit application is declined, that is when they will discover that their credit scores have errors on it resulting from bad entries. That is why it is always important that you know your credit score standing and check if the entries are right. If not, you can always avail services for fixing you credit score status.

But if you already have a bad credit score standing, you can always improve this by correcting all your credit problems. If you can’t, you can always get help for financial services that specialize on credit repair.

If you need help in understanding your credit score and it's importance, visit www.creditscore.pro for additional help and information.

So, if you want to have a smooth credit application, make sure that your credit scores are acing high!

Rude Customer Service

I am really quite disappointed with the new owner of the server I am renting right now. It seems that they always have problems and the customer support representative at the online chat service doesn’t know anything. Aside from that, the email support is so rude. What happened to the tagline “Customer is always right?” I mean I am not right but I wish they could conduct themselves politely after all I already paid for one year!

The most disappointing part is that I have bought a reseller hosting plan with them and paid for one year. I could not market as much as I could because of the problems they have with their server. Every time I update my site, I find myself logging into different servers, my old server from my old hosting and the server of my new hosting. The worst of them all is that when I am in my old server, I can access my blog directory freely but when I am in my new server, I am getting plenty of errors and I couldn’t login at my admin panel!

I am not really techie but I don’t know what is happening. The email support of the new server says that they are having some infrastructure upgrade and that probably causes the problem. Well, I still say it’s weird and it is giving me stress. On top of that, it’s making me profitless! Instead of earning, I am broke with all the hiring of php programmers to update a problem that we don’t know if we are hitting it right because we don’t know if we are logging on the same server or what!

Anyway, I just hope they are able to finish the entire problem and investigate. It’s really hard for time to fly me by and be profitless when you have children to feed!

The Heart Knows Who Loves You


God wants you to know...
... that it's your heart that knows who loves you, not your ears or eyes.

Listen to the words, and you can be fooled. Look at the actions, and you can be fooled. You are loved only when you feel loved. Who makes your heart soar now? Well, what are you waiting for?

My opinion: This FaceBook Application says that this is what "God wants me to know" but I don't actually put my trust on it because I am a Bible believing Christian. And the Bible says, the heart is deceitful above all else. So, I guess the heart doesn't really knows who loves me because it can also fool me. ^_^
