Yes! how to get life insurance if you are like me – and have diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and recently started taking anxiety pills? You see – we have been doing quite well at the store lately – and have been keeping up with all our bills – so we figured it was time to get some life insurance for both the spouse and I. Why? to insure my kid’s future – in case something happens to us – you never know eh. Afterall, yesterday i just read on Facebook how a young blogger died of lung cancer and left 2 young kids to her hubby. At least if something like this happens to me – i know that they would not be strapped for cash – and they would be able to go on and make life a wee bit easier – but of course – i never hope for something like that to happen – but life is so unpredictable – you never know what tomorrow may bring. So for a peace of mind – we had to – so we are currently shopping around for the best rates. Wish us luck eh.
People asked me all the time what to give to the wife on an anniversary and I would tell them to check out anniversary gifts by year because you not only get an idea what to give – you can buy your gift from the same site. The other most common question I get asked is what is your favorite anniversary gift? Mine? I gotta say the above toilet paper – first thing in the morning – when you use the bathroom and the toilet paper is all over the toilet – now tell me that doesn’t make you feel giddy, silly and funny all at once. And this would go well with all the other 2nd anniversary gifts for those celebrating their second anniversary.
Gifts need not be expensive but they must be thoughtful – and you can’t just buy a random gift right? Some men say that women are difficult to please – but to me – it’s understanding your woman and what she needs. If you are both saving for a holiday or to buy a house – you definitely shouldn’t splurge on a diamond ring right? A meaningful gift – a price of a stalk of rose – would suffice (for me anyways). And for a spouse who needs nothing – a funny t-shirt or even a teddy bear would be nice – plus if it is shipped to the office where she works – that would be so sweet – what do you think? I hope my suggestion/s helped – but you can always let me know – if you have a better gift to give to the special someone.
Branded goods are not cheap and a good friend had shown me what she did for her old branded handbags and shoes back home. It’s amazing that they have a shop that professionally clean your branded goods – from shoes to handbags and even clothes and if a color of your shoes and handbags are getting too old to clean – you can opt to dye it. I used to just throw my old stuff out – now I don’t have to anymore – i’ll just bring them home with me to Asia – the next time I’m home. Pretty awesome right?
Have you shopped with your spouse lately? if you have – I’ve sure unless your man is extra special – they are all the same when it comes to shopping. So after years of being together – I’ve finally come to this conclusion – that there is an easier way to shop with the man. One thing you have to know is that the men – are not interested in giving you an opinion on your dress nor shoes or your handbags. When it comes to grocery shopping – they don’t really care what you buy as long as there is food on the table or the fridge when they are hungry. Now, now! don’t tell me you don’t agree with me – if you are protesting right now – then you must be crazy ! hahhaha!
The difference between us women and men – they love their tools, their games or even cad drawing – big screen tvs and computers – other than that – you can forget about it. And i have a simple solution for all the women out there – when you go shopping with your spouse – you let him go get his stuff and you go get yours – then you get your things done and be happy and he won’t be bored to death. And you all can meet back in front of the mall or the car – and make sure you don’t leave the kids with the spouse – because if you do – when you meet up – he would be so grouchy – you don’t know if you should be mad with him – or feel bad for him.
I’m a firm believer of DIY beauty care – after all – once a month facial – doesn’t do it right? I don’t normally get the expensive stuff – but if I find them on sale – I would definitely buy some. I’m not crazy about stocking up mask – because they probably are old and going to expire. So some friends asked why I have these DIY Mask. Well, as we all know – the weather – the air and all the dirt that is accumulated and the moisture lost – when we are doing our daily stuff – it’s nice to sit back at night after a shower and put on your DIY mask and replenish the moisture and take out any impurities on our skin. And if you don’t take care of your own skin – who is right? So what kind of regimen do you have at home – that helps you looking young and beautiful?
This was my dream car for a long, long time – but i guess as you grow older – you kinda stay away from anything pink – else people might think you wanna hang on to your youth too much – hahah!! But yes ! i’m looking for a used car to ferry my kids to school. I’m not looking for an expensive car - but the car definitely has to be in good working condition and small – because gas here is very expensive. I figured it shouldn’t cost too much to insure a used car – unlike a new car – I think you need to insure for collision too. So if i buy a used car at a reasonable price and insure it for a few hundred dollars a year that would be ideal – and i don’t have to worry about waiting for the spouse to ferry us around. Looking online on carinsurancelist.com to get a quote was what was recommended by another friend – that way I can kinda get a price range – and then speak with someone about it. So yes! wish me luck – as soon as I get my car insurance – i’m getting a car – albeit a used one.
So you all know that I had my hair colored a few days ago – and i had rushed off because it took like almost 2 hrs if i was not wrong – and the stylist was busy too – she had people coming in. Anyhow – i knew i had to get something for the color – since this time unlike the last one – i had it done a lot more visible and a lot more coloring. So after reading about the side effects of diet pills for my niece - a few days later – i had gone over to get this.
Supposedly, not so expensive – it comes with a conditioner and fruity in smell – this is a color treatment shampoo that replenishes strength, elasticity and shine by restoring protein and moisture depleted by coloring and chemical processing. I tried it yesterday and it was light with very low PH formula that is said to seal the cuticle to lock in the moisture and protien in colored and chemically treated hair. So far i feel ok - my hair feels ok – and even though it was $22 – I think it was money well – spent.
I won’t say my scalp is dry but it started like a few months ago – my scalp started getting itchy even after i’ve just showered and washed my hair. How irritating is that? i had asked my hair stylist and she said she didn’t think that there was a skin problem nor did she see any lice. Big relieve – coz’ i hate lice and i had them once when i was a kid.
So what could it be? I hate to be scratching my scalp and scarring them. My hair stylist suggested a different shampoo – she said that sometimes when you use a shampoo for too long – your head and skin on the head becomes sensitive to it. Doesn’t quite make sense but i was willing to try of course. And then i came across this book - Psoriasis of the scalp. But I can be sure it isn’t because Psoriasis is a long term skin disease and this is only happening now. Anyhow – i’m gonna change shampoo and see what happens.
Alot of people wonder where they can get the best massage and some men wonder why their wives needs a good massage every month. I’m guessing the woman’s body is different from the man – therefore after child birth – the body aches alot and the wind just runs all over your body – sometimes causing great pain.
I’m this way and i’ll have to tell you that more massage parlour in BangKok looks really sleazy but if you were at the Hyatt and used their spa facilities – you can be sure to get the best environment. Of course, some people swear by the back street parlours and i’ve been there too. Now if only they didn’t look so dirty – i wouldn’t mind going there and tipping the girls well. But for $30 extra, why risked it right..??
So my girlfriends asked me to join them for yoga or pilates and I really do – but i can only afford time for one – at 45 – one needs to keep nimble and healthy at the same time. So which one do I choose – when both i am sure has its own good points. So I started reading up on it to find out more like i did on pronexin when my kid needed it.
I also asked myself – what do i hope to achieve by doing either one ? is it to lose weight or to gain stamina and strength? Do I want to build muscles? or burn calories or for posture or stress relief? for i hear yoga is mostly about calming the spirit.
Let’s take yoga first. Yoga is based on the Eastern idea of moving energy through your body. The more freely the energy flows, the healthier and more energetic you feel. Physical tension hinders the flow; over time, areas of tension in your body can become tight and rigid, even painful. The goal of yoga is to keep the body supple through movement and stretching. But there’s another dimension. Yoga is a holistic spiritual discipline with its roots in Eastern forms of meditation. The physical postures, although they condition the body, are really aimed at the mind. They symbolize the goal of living your life in a state of balance and composure. When I spend an hour in a yoga class, I melt into a kind of meditative state and emerge wonderfully relaxed and refreshed.
Pilates on the other hand is physical conditioning first and foremost — and there’s nothing quite like it. Its creator, Joseph Pilates, was looking for a way to rehabilitate injured soldiers after World War I. He developed an assortment of curious machines with names like the “Reformer” and the “Cadillac.” Using cables and trolleys and unusual body positioning, Pilates exercises stretch and strengthen and are unique in their ability to encourage coordination between the muscles that stabilize the body.
So which one would i choose – I think I am taking Yoga – what about you? Yoga or Pilates is for all ages – but they have the beginners and then it goes from there. Healthy lifestyle is what i want – because I want to watch my kids grow up and have their own kids – so it’s important – that i do things to help my own body and keep healthy.
