Stacking cups, only these are not stacked on top of one another, my entry for Photo Hunt spiral.
I was cleaning the closets and preparing the baby toys my children played with when they were younger when I decided to take photos of the toys, including this set of stacking cups.
These were given to my brother’s young daughter.
Sigh, they don’t need these toys anymore, how time flies.
Being on the lookout for natural skin care, one of the best things to use would be virgin coconut oil.
As I have mentioned in this post about the soaps we have used which have virgin coconut oil as a main ingredient, pure coconut oil has so many benefits to the skin and in my opinion, should be included in most beauty products being sold in the market.
Why the country, with so many coconut tree plantations is not cashing on virgin coconut oil in the skin care products being manufactured here is a puzzle to me. Virgin coconut oil, not chemicals, should be patronized and used because of its healthy benefits.
These are just some of the skin conditions that are best dealt with pure coconut oil: dry, wrinkled skin, psoriasis, eczema treatment, dermatitis, among others.
This is just about skin care benefits. There are also healthy benefits for hair care, stress relief, weight loss, digestion, dealing with a variety of infections are just some of the few that benefit from the use of virgin coconut oil.
I really hope this product will be used so consumers will benefit from its good results.
I have featured the dish (below) here as it was done in a cooking class I was invited to go to.
Last Wednesday night, we had it for dinner with a few minor changes according to what I have at home.
I plan to cook more using olive oil even if it is a bit of a strain in the pocket but if the benefits are good for the family’s health, why not?
I usually use soybean oil for cooking and I still do especially in frying (fish) which requires more oil.

Tilapia Fillets
For Tilapia Fillets:
Season tilapia fillet with salt, pepper and paprika. Coat with almonds and bake at 180C for 4 minutes.

Serve using medium pan. Place pasta on one side and the fillets on the other side. Drizzle the fillets with garlic sauce and balsamic sauce.
Enjoy.
UPDATE: I made this last night (Feb3, 2010) though I still have to write a post.
Been reading about skin care because I am still getting pimples even if it is not that time of the month when I usually get these. I have read information from several sites including dermitage reviews.
I am thinking that maybe this is the right time for me to visit a dermatologist to have my skin checked.
If not, I may have to get natural products that will help me with skin care:
These should be on my list of things to get when I go back to the supermarket later.
The Christmas shopping rush is over and I hope a lot are happy with the presents they got. Or maybe not.
I remember reading one time that in other countries, they give gift receipts so that the bearer can return the gift and get another item. Say what? That feels unfair to the giver who spent time and resources to get a gift.
Speaking of gift-giving, many credit card holders are probably reaching for their anti wrinkle face creams as they anticipate or hold in their hands their bills. I’m glad I don’t go through that since I do not have a credit card.
My motto, if you can’t pay in cash, then don’t get it. Period.
