I joined my friend’s giveaway contest in her blog and I won her apron. Hehehe. She’s going to send me by a shipping box soon. I can’t wait to see it. It looks rather pretty in the photo in her blog. I have a few of aprons but I don’t really use them. Maybe when I receive the apron I won, I would start using apron when I cook and when I wash the dishes. That would be cool. Samantha would always ask me when she lies down on my tummy: Mommy, did you wash the dishes? I would usually ask her. Yes, why? She would say: Because your tummy is cold. LOL. No wonder I don’t like using aprons. I always cherish that conversation everytime. Anyways… will see what our conversation … Read entire article »

All this talk about what to do on a weekend without kids. Sigh. I already laid out my plans. Unfortunately, my husband has to send the car to the workshop for servicing and check up. I think after our long drive to and from Thailand, hubby thought it’s best to keep the car on tip top shape. One more thing to do is get auto insurance quotes so you can decided which one is the cheapest and right for your auto. Anyways… we’re gonna get the car back in the afternoon, my husband said. So my plan continues on… … Read entire article »

I am loving the interior and exterior shutters designs of the houses I saw when I was in America. I was thinking if I build my own house, I would design it that way, in white please. It has a classic look attached to it. Anyways, we’re not making a house anytime soon. I was just thinking about it coz I was browsing through my photo albums of my trips to the US. Hmmm… now I am missing the US. I wonder when I can go back there again… and IF I can ever go back there again. … Read entire article »

When it comes to d-i-y spa, count on me. I have a few books of them in my book shelf. I used to do for myself and the hubs… but since I started getting busy with my blogging, I have put it in the back burner. I love going for spa. May it be d-i-y (do it yourself) or d-i-i-t-s (do it in the the salon) spa. I wanna get back into it though and right now, I’m on the lookout for home remedies for blackheads for the hubs. I think it would be great if I can do a d-i-y facial for him. … Read entire article »

One of the best best colon cleansers that I know of is fruits. It acts as antioxidant. I have read that there is a proper way of eating fruits that could actually cleanse our system. You have to eat fruits with an empty stomach. I can guarantee you you would have a good bowel movement after your meal. I have tried and it’s true. Others say that it could actually help you lose weight. But I cannot attest to that yet. Maybe I’ll do for a few more days then I could tell the difference. … Read entire article »

Have you ever come across weight loss success stories? I think I may have, but I also come across not so successful ones. A lot of people are outhere, reading diet reviews, getting tips, etc., but one common thing I saw among them was: yoyo dieting. They gain, the lose, the gain, they lose again… and gain again, and lose again. Such a yo-yo lifestyle of dieting. It’s like my story. I lose weight. Then I go for a holiday. I stop dieting and start gaining back those that were lost. I hope the next time, I could write my own success stories. For now, I’m just reading about them. … Read entire article »

I was pregnant, I got so scared. But it didn’t stop me from thinking of doing a prenatal vitamin reviews. It was kinda funny. I was really feeling nervous but at the same time, preparing myself just in case. You see, I only want to have 2 kids. But if it’s God’s will, I don’t mind having 3rd. Only if it’s really God’s will coz I know if it is His, we dun need to worry about getting extra finances just to support another life. Anyways.. since I am not, I am just happy that I dun need to worry about these things. … Read entire article »

I had to break my diet program while here in South Thailand. Since we got here, we have been eating and eating. Like today, I just ate three platefuls of spicy chicken curry cooked by our Indian friend. I wonder how many kilos I would gain this time. But with the three days that we have left, I would rather not think about dieting because it spoils the fun. When I get home,though, I am thinking of buying alli diet pills. It is said to be the only weight loss drug approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to be sold over the counter in pharmacies. With that kind of endorsement, I think that it should be safe and effective. Oh … Read entire article »

I have always wanted to go on a family vacation. But busy schedules makes it impossible for us to have a break. But surprises do come. We got a sponsored vacation to South Thailand! We are now staying at a common friend’s house with another couple friend from Bangkok. So, imagine three couples with two kids each in a house! We had a good time catching up and just resting. A vacation does not need to be expensive to be enjoyed. The idea of just getting out of the usual routines and just chat with friends and get to see some sights would equally be refreshing. But on the other hand, I am daydreaming of having an Outer Banks vacation. … Read entire article »
