Do you have that urge to look through the bag of a friend and see what’s inside? Just to satisfy your curiosity among others. Perhaps you might want to discover the beauty secret why your friend’s skin is flawless only to find out that she is just using proactiv. 
I remember doing a “what’s inside your bag photo meme” before and I admit, it was fun looking at what other have inside their bags.
Some of the things I featured in that bag meme are still there while there have been some changes. What remained constant is the bag’s weight.
I know heavy bags should be a no-no because there are a lot of not-so-good results when these are constantly carried. Back pains and pains on the shoulders (which sometimes cause blisters and other skin conditions) are just two of the ill-effects of carrying a heavy bag.
What can you do to prevent these conditions?
- Minimize what you have in your bag to avoid experiencing painful condition.
- Plan your day so that you do not need to bring everything at once.
- Distribute the weight although this would mean having more than one bag.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:
- eggs
- honey
- lemon
- oatmeal
- fruits like avocado, cucumber, banana
These should be on my list of things to get when I go back to the supermarket later.
