Beauty sleep is very important to not only one’s health but your skin as well. I was so tired last night I went to bed at midnite and only got up at 8 am – to send the kid to school – and yet I didn’t get a good rest. Friends tell me that it’s my mattress and that a mattress store los angeles has the kind of mattress that would do good for my sleep. If I was in Los Angeles – it would have been perfect but since I’m not – I wonder too if there is anywhere that carries the same kind of mattress that this store in los angeles carries. I also hear that the mattress at the Los Angeles store is 30 – 50% cheaper than other mattresses – now that i an awesome deal eh. I really do need to change my mattress – our mattress is about 7 years old and it was supposed to last longer but I wake up with backache all the time for the last few months and that’s not good at all. Getting a good sleep is very important for keeping me beautiful and a woman needs her beauty rest – I don’t want any back pain nor eye luggages.
Yes! you won’t see me in town this Christmas – we are heading to the South to get some warm and the sun. The hotel we are staying in provides everything – it’s the all inclusive type of vacation but we are not bringing our kids because we are going to be spending a lot of time at the pool. When she is older we will bring her a long – but if only the hotel had a pool gate – i bet all my girlfriends would bring their kids with them. You know when you are on a vacation – you don’t want to be worrying about the kids falling into the pool right? so we rather be safe than be sorry – our homes have pool gates when our kids were young – so such a big hotel – I would say it would be really nice if they do it with the big people’s pool. But anyhow – we are heading to the south for the New Year but only 7 days – see you when we come back.
Beauty and Health goes hand in hand and for many people – they think that woman who goes to spa does it because they want to look beautiful – but truth be told it’s because we want to be healthy as well. Why massages, saunas and Reiki and hair do etc? well, it’s because massage are good for blood circulation and sauna is good for ridding toxins in your body and Reiki is supposed to balance your body as well. My massage therapists are so professional – they have this PC based ekg machine that they used on high blood pressure customers before they massage them or before they go into a sauna and steam room. Yes ! very high tech if you don’t know by now – they really invest in the health of their customers and not just a place to make you look beautiful. The PC based ekg is something that is affordable even for ordinary people like you and I – but for hotel’s clinic as well. I used to work in the hotel industry where 500 employees were the norm – so the clinic as this PC based ekg machine to help with looking after their empl0yees as well. Therefore, i’m familiar with the PC based ekg machine when I see one – I’m impressed with my massage therapist – and glad that she invested in one – because it sure made me feel a lot safer everytime I go for my massage.
We were invited for an open house recently by our friendly real estate agent – whom we had bought our home from – 7 years ago. The spouse knowing that I love looking at new real estate – went along with me – to see if there was a business opportunity here – an investment for an income home. This was only for the first phase – and we hear that the second phase home comes with steel storm shelters in all the new house and I was quite intrigue by it.
I asked the developer why he thought a storm shelter was necessary in the second phase homes – and he mentioned that we have been getting bad storms of late – and every year they seems to get even worst. So the second phase homes are a new try out with the storm shelters – for those very bad storm and hurricanes. He mentioned that in the city – about 4 hrs away from us – most of his properties has storm shelters now – after Hurricane Juan hit us some years ago. Interesting right? I never thought of a storm shelter for the hurricane and the bad storm we have had here – now we might consider building one for our current home.
Yes! i love to go to open house just for that reason – you never know what you will learn and pick up. Every year – the developers – come up with something new and useful – I also picked up lots of interior decoration designing tips when I go for these open houses.
Halloween is finally over and since we’ve been invited to several Halloween parties – you know what it means right? lots of eating and drinking. There were just too much goodies around – I can’t even stop myself – and then there is a new bakery in town and her cream puffs are to die for – i feel so sinful now. I told the spouse that we have to get me some best appetite suppressant else I won’t be able to fit into my Christmas party dress this December. Perhaps, it’s the old age that is catching up on me – because I can’t seems to get those stubborn fatty weight off whenever i put them on.
Looking at these kids in their Halloween costumes made me think of when I was younger and have no problem gorging down tons of chocolates and donuts – without any problems of losing the weight later.
But one can’t turned back the clock right? so the best way to help keep my weight down – and not eat too much – is to get the appetite suppressant. Gotta admit that I’m getting older.
A few of us girls got together and had high tea at a local restaurant in town – because they had invited a special guest who plays the guitar – classical guitar actually – and we thought it would be a nice Saturday afternoon where we can sit and chat and of course relax. You can also request for songs on the guitar from the musician – who happened to be someone that we were quite thrilled to have – because we’ve heard him play during the Seafest this year. Now after listening to him play – we all wished we could play like him as well. Classical guitar can be so calming – don’t you think but if one really wanted to pick up guitar lessons – you can do so on the web now – pretty awesome if you ask me. The musician did some classical rock as well and i love his finger style – so amazing! Actually we are all so inspired by the afternoon tea with classical music – I think some of us – might just pick up some songs.
I may be 46 but I sure don’t want to look frumpy and dowdy – I still want to look as fashionable as I can. So besides eating right and exercising – I also indulge in facials, a good hair cut and highlights every now and then. I don’t believe in letting yourself go – once you are married and with children - and never worn a pajamas to work like some people around here. And I’m not against top weight loss pills if anyone needs it because some people are really overweight – if you asked me and they don’t do nothing about it. Whenever I put on a pound or two I feel so clumsy and lethagic – so I don’t know how these people do it – how do one go about doing their household chores with so much weight. So even at 46 I’m still looking my best and plan to stay this way as long as I lived.
We went to visit a relative who was in one of those bipolar rehab treatment centers to give her the support she needed – so she didn’t feel like we left her there – and not care for her. But I didn’t want to be overly dressed nor under dressed – because one have to be careful – not to make her feel bad or anything at all – it’s not about us – it’s about her. So I opted to dress casually like the above picture – and it went pretty well. I’m just glad that she is getting the help she needs – and showing the support that she needed – after all she is family and what are families for right? Some people think that without proper treatment – they expect the other person to get well – out of sheer determination – but you and I know it’s not true – something like that needs professional help and there shouldn’t be any shame in getting one. It takes a braver person to admit that you need help.
I had gone for a facial a few days ago – and it was great – it was so relaxing – but when i got back – i realized that my nose had black heads still. So i called the esthetician up and asked for another half a session the following day – for I didn’t want to walk around with ugly black heads on my nose. The half a facial as i called it – lasted for 45mins – and it cost $45 + tax and tips of course – but I also found out that it wasn’t really black heads that I had – they were little fine hairs that appeared after I had my full hysterectomy – which the esthetician suspected. She was quite worried about how she should tell me – so as to not offend me i guess – but I already suspected – but thought they had to do with my black heads – so it was fine hair – now we all know. hhaha!
So I decided to go for another reflexology session hoping I can get some kind of good feeling from it and that my health can be improved – I would also like to try out that t-zone vibration machine as well and even though it is some money to be spent – it’s nothing compared to the gaming computers that the spouse was thinking of upgrading for himself this month. So i felt that my reflexology sessions and my t-zone vibration course was reasonably priced and since it was for health reasons – well – it should be done. But alas, the night I went home – I didn’t feel good at all – in fact, I felt a little antsy – which wasn’t the kind of feeling I was hoping for – darn! So the spouse joked that he could buy a better gaming computer? since I won’t be spending money on a course for the reflexology. Oh well – the process was good – in fact it was so comfy I fell asleep – and was totally relax – but the bloated feeling and the weird leg feeling – so heavy – just didn’t do it for me – so for now – I’ll not do the reflexology in Canada and wait to get home to Asia.
