home regimens!

2008-08-26T21:10:00.000-07:00

Be gentler at home regimens. Cleanse no more than twice a day, over washing will strip the surface oils and lipids that keep it supple. When shopping, look for products with salicylic acid to break up pore-clogging sebum and skin softener like glycerine. However, if your skin is extra-dry alternate, wash only with mild product and don't forget to moisturize. And, if you only face a pimple or two a month just rely on acne products for treatment.

SEEING SPOTS!

2008-08-23T09:14:00.000-07:00

What Causes Dark Spots?
An insect bite causes an inflammatory reaction in the skin and subcutaneous tissue, resulting in itching, redness, and swelling. Later on pigment cells in the skin secrete melanin, which causes darkish discoloration or hyperpigmentation. Scratching the area results in super facial skin breaks, and produces further release of pigments, especially in dark-skinned individuals.

Removing Dark Spots!
Skin products that contain glycolic acid or alpha hydroxyl acids (AHA) are effective for this job. These acids are water-soluble and naturally occurring, commonly found in certain fruits like grapes, citrus, and apples. They are capable of removing old, dead, and wrinkled skin. They effectively treat skin darkening by removing the upper layer with less or no pigmentation.
Choose products with lower concentrations of glycolic acid or AHA. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Over-the-counter preparations are usually safe for home use. Test the product first on non-critical areas if you have sensitive skin. If this does not work, see your dermatologist.

soaring credit!

2008-08-13T19:37:00.000-07:00

A few years back I have been drowned by too much debt. In no time, my credit card balance reached its limits. Honestly I have been negligent in using my cards since I am confident that I will only pay small amount every month. Not knowing that I am moving backwards because the interest that I am paying soars higher than the principal amount. I thought of doing balance transfers since it lowers the interest rates. I can also pay aggressively with their fixed monthly dues. The bad news, I was declined when I applied it. Sorry me! All I can do now is to pay my debts aggressively.

A bit of car tips!

2008-08-08T10:54:00.000-07:00

You will surely save a bit of money by keeping your car in your good condition during trips. Also, if you keep your tires at an optimum pressure it will last longer and won't cause drag. Soft tires can mean your car to consume more fuel, so it is much better to check your car pressure checked with every fill-up. Since air at a gas station is free but extra gasoline isn't.

Also, empty your car trunk. A weighed down vehicle wastes gas: an extra 100 lbs in your car could reduce your miles per gallon by up to two percent. Don't forget to bring car covers during long trip; it will save you from expensive car wash.

Picture This Create an online photo album to share with family and friends.
Sew Simple Keep little sewing projects nearby when you’re watching your favorite shows. Knitting works well too.

LAZY WEEKENDS

Can you sleep when the wind blows?

2008-07-29T22:47:00.000-07:00

Have to share this beautiful story. Take time to read it!

Years ago, a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast. He constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people were reluctant to work on farms along the Atlantic . They dreaded the awful storms that raged across the Atlantic , wreaking havoc on the buildings and crops.

As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job, he received A steady stream of refusals. Finally, a short, thin man, well past middle age, approached the farmer. "Are you a good farm hand?" the farmer asked him. "Well, I can sleep when the wind blows," answered the little man.

Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer, desperate for help,Hired him. The little man worked well around the farm, busy from dawn to dusk, and the farmer felt satisfied with the man's work.

Then one night the wind howled loudly in from offshore. Jumping out of bed, the farmer grabbed a lantern and rushed next door to the hired hand's sleeping quarters. He shook the little man and yelled, "Get up! A storm is coming!Tie things down before they blow away!"

The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, "No sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows."

Enraged by the response, the farmer was tempted to fire him on the spot. Instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm. To his amazement, he discovered that all of the haystacks had been covered with tarpaulins. The cows were in the barn, the chickens were in the coops, and the doors were barred. The shutters were tightly secured. Everything was tied down. Nothing could blow away. The farmer then understood what his hired hand meant, so he returned to his bed to also sleep while the wind blew.

When you're prepared, spiritually, mentally, and physically,you have nothing to fear. Can you sleep when the wind blows through your life?

The hired hand in the story was able to sleep because he had secured the farm against the storm.We secure ourselves against the storms of life by grounding ourselves in the Word of God. We don't need to understand, we just need to hold His hand to have peace in the middle of storms.

A friend of mine sent this to me today,and I enjoyed it so much, that I want to send it to you.I hope you enjoy your day and you sleep well.

Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? --unless indeed you are disqualified. 2Cor. 13:5

Love going to Art Gallery

2008-07-29T22:38:00.000-07:00

I love watching trade shows and exhibits especially if they are presenting arts. It just amazed me on how these artists use their skills and imagination to create a wonderful work of art. I have been visiting different galleries and I always have a good time.

While doing some internet hopping, I came across this site that specializes in paintings. The thought of art just pop in my mind that time and my hands just voluntarily type the word art galleries. I really appreciate every minute; looking at the different works of art especially the works of canadian artists. Although, I don't understand French, I take time to search for translator so I would understand my favorite painting title "L'entrée du village" which means "The town entry". It's made of oil and it demonstrates an entry to an old village. Well, every time I look at the paint, it feels like it transports me back to that old village since it depicts the real scenario of a long time village. Well, I congratulate canadian painters for their very good work. I continue to splurge my eyes to the beautiful arts around the internet. If I have extra money, I will surely buy the painting I said earlier. That is, if it is still available by that time.

The Sunflower, glorious in autumn bouquets, has long thought to symbolize loyalty – perhaps for its habit of turning to follow the sun.

Nature’s production of pearls, even when prodded through cultivation, cannot be rushed: it takes more than a decade to harvest enough pearls to make a single necklace.

In the seventeenth-century France, it was customary for a bride to break an egg, a symbol of luck and fertility, at the threshold of her new home.

According to Spanish folklore, keeping an Olive Branch in the house will ensure that a husband remains loyal to his wife.

But it is everybody’s tradition to wear sexy bridal lingerie to keep hot nights, hotter!

The Perfect Brow

2008-07-28T05:21:00.000-07:00

Before you pluck or tweeze, begin by mapping where the brow line should be.

Looking straight into mirror, place a pencil vertically along the bone on the left side of your nose; with tweezers, pluck anything that lies to the right of the pencil. Repeat on the right side, removing hairs that lie to the left of the pencil. The space between the brows should be equal to, or a little smaller than, the width of your eye.
Next place the pencil directly along the outer corner of your pupil. Where the pencil meets the brows is where the arch should be – ideally three-quarters along the brow.
To determine length, place the pencil diagonally from bottom of nose toward temple. This is where brow should end. Trim long hairs with scissors; groom with brush.
