Have You Got Blackhead Acne

I had a great time bathing with my three year old just now. He was splashing water all over the bathroom, lol. He wouldnt even let me stand under the shower as he pwnd that space with his bathtub. There’s nothing i can do inside except to check on my nose to see if i still have blackheads or not. After using the Himalaya Neem facial cleanser, they seem to have disappeared. It’s not easy to get rid of blackhead acne. But if you cannot get your hands on Himalaya products, you can always try some of these blackhead acne products to see if they work or not.

Neem Is Very Good For Acne treatment

I love the range of Himalaya Neem facial cleansers that hubby bought for me recently. I have a few acne on my face which refuse to go away no matter what i use. I almost wanted to give these acne treatment a try but hubby told me to try the ones he bought first. I was so glad i listened to him. They’re all cleared after only a week. Neem is very good for acne treatment. It also doesnt dry my face like other acne treatment. As for the old acne scars, i’ll jut rub them with some Bio-oil and they’ll disappear in no time.

How To Make Fruit Enzymes Book

I bought a book on “How To Make Fruit Enzymes” recently. It’s a good book with lots of illustrations. A friend dropped by the other day and asked me to take some videos of the making process with a camcorder. I dont have a camcorder, but i guess the video function on my N82 or T100 will do just fine. It’s not a long process anyway. Well, lemme go buy my ingredients first, ok. I’ll post some videos up on Youtube later on :)

Blue Advantage Maternity Option Eligibility

My friend went to have her baby delivered at the General Hospital last week. She gave birth to a baby boy. Now, with two girls and two boys to care for, i guess she will be so busy that she wont be abe to blog much anymore, lol. I have two boys and i’m already up to my neck with chores. Ekkkk…. no more babies for me. I heard that it’s very economical to have your baby delivered at the General Hospital. I had both of mine at Private hospitals and they really do charge a bomb. In all, i think i’ve spent around 8k for two separate deliveries. Not cheap, eh.

I have a friend who told me her insurance covers maternity too. How lucky. My cousin just bought this Blue Advantage and told me the maternity option is available for an extra charge when she first purchase a policy. The thing is, she cannot be pregnant at the time of applying. So, if you are interested in the maternity option, make sure you are not pregnant at time of applying, ok.

Info On Hair Loss Treatment Products

Hubby bought quite a lot of stuffs from Himalaya Concept Store on his last trip to KL. He even bought me some skincare made from Ayurvedic ingredients. I love the Cream Cleanser best. It’s just right for my dry skin. And then, there’s my favorite Apricot Scrub too. I love scrubbing my face as i believe we need to exfoliate our skin so that all the serums and moisturisers can perform their best.

Hubby bought himself a tube of Hair Loss Cream. He’s hair is thinning and he hopes this will help prevent hair loss. He’d used many hair loss treatment creams and ointments before but none worked for him. So, i hope this will help him regain his crowning glory again.

Who’s Going To Take Care Of You When You Are Old

What i enjoy doing most is playing with my kids each evening after they come back from school. I bought them some toys over the weekend and they are having so much fun. Sometimes, i just wish they wont grow up so fast as i really love them being small and want these wonderful moments to last forever. I have friends who prefer to stay single as they do not want to have children. What a waste. But i guess not everyone is cut out to be a parent.

The other day, a friend bought term life insurance and told me it’s a good way to make sure she’ll have money when she’s old. She says as she doesnt have kids, there wont be anyone to take care of her when she’s old. I bought mine long ago. It’s good to know that i will have money for my old age come twenty to thirty years from now. I also do not want to depend on my kids to support me when i’m old. If you havent bought term life insurance yet, then hop over to the link i left here in this post and get one from the site. Check it out, ya.

How To Profit From Gold

Do you know that you will lose a lot of money if you were to sell your old gold back to the goldsmith’s? They will take a 25% cut from the current price of gold. I went and check with one today and was told i cannot even get cash for my gold. I can only exchange it for their gold jewelry. Now, why would i want their gold jewelry when i want to sell mine off in the first place, right. Those were actually some of my wedding gifts. Since i dont wear gold, i thought i’d sell them off and invest the money in something else instead. Oh well, if you want to buy gold as an investment, dont buy gold jewelry. Oh, you can check out the link i left here in this post on how you can profit from gold. I’m off now.

What Are Your Kids Reading?

Are you aware of what your kids may be reading? You’d better take note of the authors your kids like and see what kind of books they write. You can do so easily online these days. Some authors are just not suitable for kids and i do regret reading their books. I still remember my secondary schooldays very well. Back then, authors like Jackie Collins and Harold Robbins were all the rage. They are able to makes it sound as though it’s okay to ge involved in Sex, Drugs and Rock N Roll.

Looking back, i believe it’s those novels that corrupted my oh-so-pure mind then. Kids can be easily influenced by their peers and without proper guidance from parents, they may get involved with drugs and even prostitution. So, do be careful of what they read, and whom they mix around with. Their minds cannot be corrected with the delete button.

A Nap Is Good For Health

I think i’d better take a break now. I’ve been up since 6am. I’m not a robot and if i dont take a nap, i cant function well later on tonight. The kids are at the living hall and i’m going to ask my in-laws to help me keep an eye on them for an hour or so. Without interruption, one hour of sleep is enough to get me going again. And dang, the backache is bugging me too. Better get off my ass and hit the sack.

Ways For Moms To Spend Time At Home

I have many friends who’ve given up their jobs to become a fulltime homemaker. Some took a long time to make the transition. Some, just jumped into it. Me, i happened to be the latter. I wont say it’s a fulfilling thing, but it gave me an opportunity to test my patience for once. I cannot say i love what i’m doing now, i just take it one day at a time. It’s really not easy, you know.

I started blogging due to boredom a year after my first kid was born. If not for blogging, i may have gone insane, lol. It provided me with an outlet where i can vent my frustration without hurting anyone.You can start a blog if you feel trapped and bored at home. It can be fun. But if you are not into blogging, you can fill your time by doing other things like take up a university online course. There are many courses available and i’m sure you’ll be able to find one that wont take up too much of your time, ok.

Of Old Age And Senility

I used to hear people saying that as one grows old, one becomes senile. So, how far true can that be? Let me tell you this, it can be quite true. You see, someone apparently used a plastic steaming rack with the wok and caused it to melt. And this someone is more than 60 years old. And this someone has been cooking forever. How can that someone not know that plastic will melt inside the wok? If not for senility, i dont have another word for it. And just in case you dont know, the plastic steamer rack is the kind that came with the rice cooker. And it’s to be used with the rice cooker and nothing but the rice cooker, period.

Long Weekend Break

My dear friend, Pat, sent me an MMS just now. It’s a scene from her hotel room. Where we live,  we’re getting a long weekend off and her hubby took her and their twins off for a holiday. Arrrggghhhh… how i wish i can join them for a weekend of fun too. I’m so dying to go on a holiday right now. Even if it’s not a luxury trip to some exotic country also nevermind. Just book me into a bed and breakfast for the weekend and i’ll be the happiest woman on earth now, lol. I’m really not that demanding after all, you know.

Hubby will be back later this evening. I’m going to show him the MMS that Pat sent and hopefully, he’ll get the hint. Though we may not make it this weekend, there are still many weekends that he can take off work. I’m lucky as we run our own business. Being our own boss provides us with lots of flexibility to plan events and such for the family. If we were to work for someone else. it’s not that easy. Well, hope the economy improves soon and hubby earns more. We can then go for holidays more often.

Ants Under My Bed

I saw ants under my bed the other day. It was at the far end corner and i need to crawl all the way in to get rid of it. The trail was so long and made my skin crawl. I had no choice but to spray a little insect spray onto the trail. It’s only a tiny pump, ok. This is to break up the trail and i dare say it worked.

Somehow, the skin on my right hand doesnt agree with the insect spray and broke out into a rash. I quickly went washed it with my cleanser and rubbed some ointment onto it. Lucky for me, it subsided the next day. See how hazardous these substances can be. It’s only a minute amount and yet, did so much damage. Ok, if i ever see ants under my bed again. I’m going to crawl inside and get rid of it. Blekkkkk…

Do You Like Yoghurt?

I bought some yoghurt drink on Sunday. My kids love it and they prefer this to the solid version. Guess i’ll keep buying till they get bored with it, lol. Yoghurt is really good for gut health. If you are suffering from a sluggish bowel system, i suggest you eat or drink some yoghurt fast. I’ve recommended this to many of my friends and it works 100% of the time. Last week, a friend too some Rimadyl and found that her body didnt quite agree with it. She remembered what i told her and took some yoghurt. She’s happy as it took care of her constipation. So, head over to the frozenfood department on your next trip to the grocery store and dont forget to buy some yoghurt back, ok.

My Hands Are Not Made For Housework

The rash on my right hand is back and it’s bugging me day and night. This usually happens after i do housework like washing dishes. Well, anything that requires the use of detergent will trigger the rash. Sometimes, i cant help it as i can hear people talking behind my back that i dont housework. But what do they know? They dont have to live with an occurring rash. I DO!!! If i explain thte situation to them, they will ask me to use gloves when i wash the dishes. But hey, even those rubber gloves gives me a rash. See how delicate my skin is? Hubby suggested i try using disposable gloves instead. I told him it’s best he hire a maid back to do all the housework instead. I can put my hands to better use that doing housework, PERIOD!!!
