Natural Remedy for Wrinkles

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.

Jell-o No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake

I wrote about  my son helping out in the kitchen in this post.

Presenting the finished product: our Jell-o No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake dessert:

Yes, it was a finger-licking, lip-smacking and two thumbs up dessert. What bliss!

After putting away their textbooks for the homeschooling lessons, the two kids are pretty much free to do whatever they like and sometimes they either go out and play or help out in kitchen/home chores. Cooking and the smells associated with it always draw them in the kitchen to offer a hand or two.

I bask from the compliments they freely give 🙂

Reunions Can Be Fun Too

Family reunions are happy events as loved ones gather to enjoy each others’ company in once-in-a-while moments.

If there is one thing that makes love ones feel awkward with would be to think of topics that will sustain the conversation and keep the communication a two-way street.

It probably feels weird being face-to-face with a cousin you haven’t seen in years and where the only memories y0u got between the two of you is childhood spent together playing games during weekends.

Of course you can’t possibly bore your relatives about the nitty gritty details of your work unless they are interested nor should you explain in detailed version how you bought your new condo unit or how you got the best auto insurance quote or maybe even about your stock market portfolio.

What should you talk about then?

  • Update each other about how you are doing but be general with the details unless they ask you.
  • Introduce your children (if you have some) but do not spend too much time enumerating their best features.
  • Try to find a topic that will interest them.
  • Play fun games.
  • As much as possible, avoid gossiping about those who did not make it to the reunion.

Last of all, enjoy the moment of togetherness 🙂

Moderation During the Christmas Season

Halloween was just a few weeks ago and with the Christmas season in full swing, sweets abound. By sweets I mean cake, pastries, candy canes, candies and sweet memories. Ok, scrap the last part because I am really talking about those with sweet tooth and unlimited stomach space.

I am sure a lot of health-related issues after the Christmas season would center on two or three or even four concerns:

  • high blood pressure due to excessive consumption of food high in cholesterol and animal fats,
  • high blood-sugar level due to consumption of food that are not even supposed to be within two feet of the sufferer,
  • cavities especially with children who are in dire need of a visit to Plano dentist clinics
  • stomach-related problems like dyspepsia, indigestion and just plain eating a little bit too much.

The key to not getting sick in to do things in moderation and that includes eating, drinking, shopping, having fun, and partying.

Sure, one can always say it is the time to be happy and enjoy the company of  family and friends but then again, knowing one’s limits is the best way to go so spend your holidays wisely 🙂
