The value of tea may be due, in part, to its antioxidants. Like fruit and vegetables, tea is rich in antioxidants. (In tea these are known as flavonoids). Antioxidants in the diet may help the body in its management of free radicals – highly reactive substances capable of causing damage to body cells.
If that’s not enough to convince you that tea is worth trying, take a look at some of these fast facts.
- Green, black, oolong and white teas offer the same health benefits.
- Drinking four to eight cups of tea is rehydrating – not dehydrating as is often said.
- Tea is your natural source of antioxidants.
- If your body and mind need to be feel revitalized, tea can do that.
- Tea contains fluoride, which has a well-established link to dental health. Studies have shown that tea can provide a significant amount of the fluoride you need.
- Tea without milk and sugar has virtually no calories – your tasty and perfect ally to your weight management program.
- In hot weather, it seems refreshing – and this may be because it can raise your body temperature and momentarily cause an increase in perspiration, which cools the skin.
Wooh… My laptop is making fun out of me. For quite some time now I have been experiencing an instant shut down with a blue screen stating so many things that I actually don’t understand. Is this virus attacking or my laptop is on the verge of losing its life? I really don’t know.
One thing I am sure, it is not functioning the same way as I bought it before. It is now producing too much heat after the battery die last year. Now I think everything is going to follow. This only mean one thing and that is to buy a new one. Sigh!
I don’t have any plans of replacing my beloved lappy. But, I guess I have no choice. If I won’t do anything now I might end up having nothing to use the next few days. Before that, hubby would try to reformat to see if he can save it. If not, then that is the cue for me to start scouring for good quality laptop.
Hahaha… It really shows that I can’t get enough posting about beauty products. That is what I noticed in this blog. As you can see the latest post I have is about controlling adult acne, followed by purchasing eye cream, then something about weight loss, then a tag, and then a wrinkle cream. Whew!
Well, I just find it normal because I am a woman. Other than taking care of the house, my husband and my career, I must take care of myself as well. This is the consolation I get from acting like a super woman at home, juggling things at one time. I guess many women out there would agree with me that it is tiring to be a woman sometimes especially when there are lots of things to do inside the house after a day of work. But, I am not complaining so long I have my products with me to keep me beautiful and fresh even if I am busy.
It was believed that acne is the result of out-of-control oil glands combined with a failure to keep the face clean. Acne medications were harsh and often relied on eradicating the oil in the skin by use of alcohol, hardly a solution to the problem. Now, we understand that acne is a result of hormonal fluctuations that act on bacteria in the skin. We also know that it’s possible to have acne and dry, irritated skin too. The best acne medicines are formulated to soothe the skin while providing acne-fighting medicine.
Lucky we are, there are new natural home remedy approaches to control acne. One of the new herbal antibiotics is tea tree oil. An extract from the Australian tea tree, it combines antifungal and antibiotic properties with a soothing and warming feel. The smell is something like eucalyptus (very strong). Tea tree oil can be applied directly to pimples, zits, insect bites, stings, burns, itches and other minor skin irritations. It is also effective in controlling dandruff and can be used to fight athlete’s foot. Tea tree oil is sort of a medicine cabinet in itself.
Other more mainstream, but innovative, acne products exist on the market for teens and adult, such as laser acne treatment and ProActive solution skin care line.
It’s time to pay some bills. I hate whenever I’m doing this alone because I can’t extend roaming around the mall. Sigh! But, before going out, I have to make a list of the things that I need to buy and the bills that I need to pay.
Now I remember to include an eye cream and facial wash to my list. I’m running out of those products. I guess I only have to application and its finish. So, even if it’s not time to visit the beauty store, I have no choice. I really have to get those products today or else I have nothing to use in a few days time.
Anyway, I have to go now. Hopefully, I can get a cab easily because waiting for so long outside isn’t really a good thing.
It is true that I am losing some weight these past few weeks. I really intend to go on diet even if there are lots of foods in the fridge. But, it is not easy because it is really tempting to cheat especially when I see cakes, ice cream, cola, and so much more. Whenever that happens, I just grab a bottle of water and drink it until I feel full. Now I am enjoying the benefits of my discipline.
Anyway, I am not also disregarding the fact that there are best weight loss programs available in the market these days. The only way to find them is to do research and read reviews about it. Using such products is considered the shortcut method to losing weight. That’s why I still consider using these if it is necessary. But, for now I am contented to my diet method.
Since I am not yet sleepy even if it’s already late at night, I still try to figure out the best thing to do. Well, I no longer want to watch television because it keeps me awake. So, I tried to read articles around the web because I can’t find good books to read.
Finally I’m bored, but not yet sleepy. I guess this is the result of sleeping at least in the middle of the day. Now I can’t sleep during my regular hours. Anyway, I will just try to answer the quiz in blog things and see what figure of speech I am. And, here is my result.
You Are an Adjective |
|
You can describe something perfectly. You can paint a picture with your story and make people feel like they were there.You are fanciful and dreamy. You tend toward being a little dramatic. Everything is a big deal for you. For you, a day is not simply nice. It’s “beautiful,” “idyllic,” “balmy,” or “superlative.” |
When I got a chance to take a look at some of my picture on my friend’s wedding last February 27, I can’t help to notice the wrinkles on my friend’s face. The wrinkles around her eyes are so obvious that it showed even in long distance pictures. This is not a good indicator as she is way younger than I am. That is the reason I immediately check my face. Luckily, I can’t find deep lines.
Well, since I have few fine lines, I think I need to use wrinkle creams. But, I am not sure about it because I am already using a moisturizing cream at night. Plus, it is an additional expense again. As I searched the internet for some advice, I get different answers. Some people say yes while other say moisturizing cream is enough.
Now, I am confused. But, one thing is sure I don’t want to look old these days because I am still young. I will do what is needed for me to stay young until I reach the age of 40. Hahaha
Monday is almost over. Anyway, the day isn’t so right despite the fact that it rained. I’m supposed to be happy that finally the farmers can enjoy little rain after about two months without it. But, I am not. Why? Well, it also rains inside the house. You heard it right. It also rained inside the house. The leaks are everywhere.
I’m sure I’m going to lose my sanity if we stay here longer. Good thing I am just waiting until the end of the contract, and then I will move back to my parent’s house without hesitations.
To a lighter note, I am trying to figure out what it phosphacore is or how it work. It says it is a good weight lose product, but it is the first time I heard about it. Well, I don’t really intend to use it for now because I am losing weight gradually. But, learning new information is something different. It might come in handy in the future. So, I will have to dig more information about it.
