Quality time with my family is more important

I may not be able to take my kids to Outer Banks for a holiday, but i did make it up to them with lots of trips to the park. To me, quality time with them is more important. Apart from that, i also learned a few new recipes and cooked for them. Happiness is seeing them eat everything that i’ve prepared for them. Gives me the motivation to try more new recipes. Anyway, todays’ my kid’s 5th birthday. The school is organizing a birthday party for kids born in the month of August today. But the real celebration starts when i pick him up from school. He’s gonna be one ultra happy boy today :)

How To Prevent Razor Burn

Razor burn is caused by hair that is pushed back into the follicle. It can become inflamed and then develop into an ingrown hair.

Use these seven suggestions to minimize the risk of razor burn:

#1 Use a clean, sharp razor each time

#2 Always shave in the direction of the hair growth

#3 Shave after your shower

#4 For some using a shaving oil or gel rather than a cream helps avoid clogging the pores (For others a cream works better -experimentation may be needed)

#5 Avoid passing the razor over the same area numerous times

#6. If razor burn appears, apply an aloe-vera based cortisone cream twice a day to soothe the skin and reduce redness.

#7. Use Ingrown Hair Treatment to treat or prevent ingrown hairs when shaving and eliminate razor burn.

Additional shaving tips:

Avoid shaving when first getting up after sleep as body fluids make the skin puffy making it more difficult to shave the hair. After 20 or 30 minutes the skin becomes more taut so the hair shaft is more exposed making it easier.

Don’t stay in the bath too long before shaving. The skin will shrivel after eight minutes or so making it difficult to get a smooth, close shave.

The more repeat strokes over an area of skin the greater risk of irritation. To remove stray hairs which are not removed after one or two passes with the razor, use a pop-up trimmer.

How safe is laser eye surgery?

I was out at the mall this afternoon when my contact lens fell out. It must be due to the air-cond and the cold air which made my eyes dry. Hubby told me go remove the other and put my glasses on instead. What a great piece of advice. Since when do people take their glasses along with them when they go shopping. No choice but to go to the nearest optical shop and get a replacement contact lens. If not, how to walk around.

I’m seriously considering having laser eye surgery done to correct my eyesight. Been thinking about it for a long time, especially if it’s safe or not. A friend told me about this laser eye clinic Melbourne which has helped many people with their eyesight. Says i can get a lot of information there. I’m going to check it out. Hope it can somehow assure me that laser eye surgery is safe and help me make a good decision.

Are you one of the millions of people suffering from being overweight? Is your kitchen counter is filled with protein shakes and diet pills that did not work, and your basement crammed full of exercise equipment that eventually just sits there? Have you starved and exercised yourself into what felt like oblivion to see hardly even a dent of weight loss on your scale?

After at Starbucks

It’s the last day of my kid’s school break and he still hasnt finished his homework yet. Hubby wants to take them to the mall. I told him i’ll bring along his homework and we can all have fun and get things done at the same time. If not, i may have to spend some stressful time once back home trying to get him to sit down and do his writing and maths. You know kids, after having so much fun, homework isnt appealing at all, blekkkkk.

Everywhere is jam packed during the weekends and it’s hard to find a nice table to work at. But i was lucky to find one at Starbucks. I dont like sitting on the couches as those coffee tables are far too low and hurts my back. I’m only having a cup of Mint Tea now as i had lunch earlier elsewhere. I enjoy relaxing here in the hot afternoons. Think i should really do more of this instead of holed up in my bedroom all the time.

Teenagers and ance

Teenage years can be the happiest time of one’s life. It can also be tough on some as it’s the age when hormonal changes affects a lot of things. take acne for example. A lot of my friends with teenagers cite acne as one of the major problems affecting their kids. I never had acne during my teenage years. Could be due to today’s lifestyle and diet? Anyway, i believe acne should not mar a kid’s teen aged years. Why not try using a acne treatment cream and see if it helps lessen the problem. But for long term sake, do opt for a lifestyle and diet change. Eat more organic fruits and vegetables, less meat and exercise more is the key to healthy skin.

How often do you write?

Being one that works online, i hardly get the chance to hold a pen in my hand these days. In fact, my handwriting is horrible now that i cant even read what i’m writing. The other day, hubby brought back some promotional pens and told me to keep them on my work table. I told him he might well keep them for his own use. Half the time, they most likely end up in the trash bin. Or my kids may want to scribble everywhere with them. Or he can go give them to his dad if he like. Me, gimme a new backlit keyboard anytime, lol.

Played golf on Wii before?

It’s been more than a month since i last played with my Nintendo Wii. My FIL deems the noise created by my kids too much for him to bear that he banned them from the living hall. This is just one of the reasons why i’m working so hard to move out of this place. The time will come. I just hope i dont have long to wait. Life sucks when you are living under someone else’s rules. And it’s “family” too, cheh.

Anyway, one of hubby’s favorite game is Tiger Wolf PGA Golf. You should watch him swing the WiiMote. You will think that he’s holding a gold club and not the WiiMote in his hands. He has a few used golf clubs lying around the house. He says he wants to sell them off and buy a few Callaway irons. I told him to just give them away. The thing is, no one plays golf here.

Having difficulty losing weight?

I’ve been out shopping with a girlfriend these past few days. It’s been more than a year after the birth of her baby daughter, and yet, she cant seem to lose all the fat around her mid-section. She’s having difficulty fitting into her pants. She was very surprised that i got back into my pre-pregnancy clothes less than two weeks after i had my second baby. She kept asking me if i took any weight loss supplements or not. I told her no. I lost weight fast as i was breastfeeding my baby. And you know how breastfeeding burns calories fast, right.

Anyway, she’s been on various diet plans before to no avail. I even accompanied her to gym sessions before. I was chatting with a friend last night over her weight loss problem when she told me the problem may lie in her colon. There may be lots of toxic build-up in her intestines and also parasites living in her stomach too. All these toxic build-up will form a plaque that coats the interior walls and lining of the colon. From what i learned, the layer can become so thick that one’s body becomes fatter. This is just the body’s defense system working to prevent the poisons from infesting.

Anyway, she left with me the link to a website which may be of help to my girlfriend. I’ve been to the site and even watched the video there. If you’ve tried everything to lose weight without much success, this website may provide you with the answer to your Weight Loss problem. Take the time to check the link out.
