celebrating my birthday

Yesterday, hubby and I celebrated my 28 birthday. We hop from one mall to the other, dine out and watch movies. Then, we shop for my birthday present where I only choose a shirt. I can’t think of anything as of that moment. So, the first thing I saw that suits me is considered my present.

Before going home, I asked hubby to accompany me to the supermarket. I have lots of things I need to buy for our home. Fortunately, he agreed even if he is too tired. Well, I thought the items in our cart are all the things we need. But, once again we forget to buy hand-held stone abrasives.

We planned to buy that item for a long time. Yet, since it is not part of our basic need, we always forget it. Our knives are becoming dull day by day from all the cutting it does. And, it is becoming increasingly difficult to have a clean and smooth cut. The only way to solve the problem is to sharpen those knives.

I just hope that I won’t forget to include this item on my list.

How to do deep breathing exercise?

Deep breathing exercises are an important part of meditation, without proper breathing you cannot achieve a full trance. This method is the most important because it teaches us to breathe with our diaphragm along with our chest.

When you begin to first work with this exercise it will feel uncomfortable for most. I suggest finding a quiet time to do it without interruptions. Once you become more used to it you will be able to do it anywhere.

  • Find a quiet relaxing place and get comfortable.
  • Keep your spine straight.
  • Now relax and close your eyes.
  • Breathe in through your nose slowly feeling the upper half of your stomach expand as the air goes in.
  • Hold it in for a count of three to start, once you get used to it you can hold it in longer until you reach the count of 10.
  • Make sure that you still feel comfortable if a count of three is too much lower it to 2 until you can do it comfortably. [Read more...]

looks better with a cleaner and zit free face

Fortunately most of hubby’s pimple dried out after three weeks of using his latest acne product. He has been whining about the looks of his zits weeks before he decided to change brand. Plus, he can’t stop himself from popping pimples especially those that are too puss filled and the huge blackheads. Of course, his action makes the situation worse. He ends up having bigger acne as compared to not popping it at all.

Now, I’m no longer seeing signs of his blemishes. Also, his face is a lot fresher and brighter now. His oily skin has become a thing of the past. I just hope there is no sudden or rebound to happen in the next few days. He definitely looks a lot better with a cleaner and zit free face.

Oops I did it again!

Oops I did it again! I broke a promise to myself again and that is to maintain my weight. It always happens to me once in a while. It’s too easy to forget things especially when I am not in the mood or had a big fight with hubby. That is why I regain the weights I lost in just two weeks. Bigger buttocks, legs and tummy are becoming a lot obvious.

Now that we are okay once again, I feel a lot guilty towards my bigger areas. It’s time to get some things working. I wonder if I could find a product that has the right amount of conjugated linoleic acid or commonly known as CLA. It is a natural and healthy fatty acid that is actually essential to the basic functioning of your body. They say 300mg shows to burn fat while 4500mg shows to build lean muscle mass over time. It can also contribute to greater heart health in combination with a healthy diet and exercise program and higher good cholesterol levels coupled with lower bad cholesterol levels.

I guess this is a very interesting item to look for. I just wonder where to start looking for it.

What are the causes of Acne?

There are different types of acne. The most common acne is the type that develops during the teen years. Puberty causes hormone levels to rise, especially testosterone. High hormones cause signal skin glands to start making more oil. Oil releases from the pores to protect the skin and keep it moist. Acne begins when oil mixes with dead cells and clogs the skin’s pores. Bacteria can grow in this mixture. And if this mixture leaks into nearby tissues, it causes swelling, redness, and pus. A common name for these raised bumps is pimples.

Certain medicines can cause acne to develop. This type of acne usually clears up when you stop taking the medicine.

It isn’t just teens who are affected by acne. Sometimes newborns have acne because their mothers pass hormones to them just before delivery. Acne can also appear when the stress of birth causes the baby’s body to release hormones on its own. Young children and older adults also may get acne.

A few conditions of the endocrine system, such as polycystic ovary syndrome and Cushing’s syndrome, can lead to outbreaks of acne.

great acne problem

When I was a teenager, I had experience acne. It was a great problem for me since I am at the stage of self-awareness. I have lost self-confidence and always feel envious towards my peers who have clear smooth skin. But, there is much I can do especially that I am very irresponsible that time. Cleansing and taking care of my face only comes when I get to college.

Good thing I was able to grow out of it. But, my siblings are starting to experience such. They are now the age of puberty where hormonal changes occur. Acne starts to pop out of their face. That’s why I wanted to help them before the problem gets worse. I thought of giving them acne pills. Most acne treatments don’t work, in part because they don’t really address acne where it starts, inside the body.

Acne pills are considered one of the best acne fighting approach to acne and actually eliminating it. It is perfect solution especially for those with sensitive skin. But, I guess it is better to ask for dermatologists’ advice on this one. So, we need to consult them first before letting them use the product.

perfect time to shop for my laptop

I think I mentioned before that I’m planning to change my laptop this year. Well, I’m still waiting for the right deals. But, it’s Black Friday today so I guess it’s the perfect time to shop for this gadget. This is the time of the year, where it is easy to find great discounted products as hundreds of merchants follow the tradition to drive their sales up.

Fortunately, while checking the web for affordable laptop, I came across the toshiba laptop coupons from CouponUS.com. They have the best deals on the web where sales and specials are offered. It is the right place to save money. There is no need to go elsewhere as they are the ones who will look and monitor for the most elusive discounts that online retailers release to special customers. So, customers looking for special deals to save money can take advantage of the best online savings on the web.

I wonder if I am disposed to purchase the said laptop today. I want to take advantage of the great deal, but my money is only limited to smaller and cheaper items like clothes and accessories. But, I can make a bargain if ever I find one that suits my budget. I guess I have to ask for hubby’s help on this one.
