The first week of January’s sprained ankle made me promise to myself that I would hit the pavement once I get better. But this is not how it is supposed to be since I got sick last Friday and as of today, I am supposed to be bedridden. I just will myself to be up and about since we don’t have house help.
There goes my plan to go back to whatever fitness routine I had and I must admit I am tempted to turn to quick weight loss diets to lose these unwanted pounds I gained during the Christmas season and when I was immobile.
I know I am not alone in this journey and that it is all up to me to take the first step back to my fitness routine. For now, I will rest my aching bones and itchy throat by taking a short nap.

Jiggly ice cubes in this entry. Water droplets can be jiggly but of course I didn’t try jiggling with this one since I have to take a photo 😉
Is there is one thing that I find jiggly but would not dare take a photo of? Yes there is and I’m not going to disclose what it is. Continue Reading »

One time, during a discussion about the skin in our Science lessons, my son asked me why is it that people who are bigger (read: fat) tend to have “lines on the skin”. I asked if he meant lines on the face and he said “no” and that he meant that skin texture of people who are on the heavy side.
We went online to look for photos of people with “lines on the skin” after our lessons. He thought these were skin diseases since at that time we were learning about the skin in his Science subject.
Cellulite. This is a new word he learned that day. He further asked if there is a cellulite cure. I told him that there are but first and foremost, weight control should be a priority to avoid having these.

So many Haitians are suffering right now that one can not help but feel pity and shed tears whenever clips about them are being watched.
Here are two sites: that tell Michelle Malkin’s and The Lede on how to help.
If one can’t give them financial or material support, prayers are needed for them even if a supposedly evangelist says they are cursed. Bah! Who is he to say that?
I know a lot of people are skeptical about prayers and all I can say is that prayers are not just limited to Christians and Catholics, even other religions pray.

A friend asked me to help her look for natural skin care products to help her with her wrinkle problems. Uh-oh! I think I may have to read these for myself too, I tell her 😀
We searched the internet and read a lot of sites. One site, http://www.wrinkletreatment.org has a list of products one can avail of.
We looked at each other and say that we will get there but for now, we probably need to do some alteration in our diets to include food rich in vitamins A, B, C and E like meat, whole wheat, fruits and vegetables. Food rich in zinc like seafood, eggs and milk are also helpful as well as food rich in calcium.
So there, I have added these to my grocery list. I just hope lines will not be long when we go to the supermarket later as this is a payday for most of the breadwinners.
