Arthritis

My mom has been suffering from joint pain more often than lately. It’s a mixture of her osteoporosis and arthritis acting up. She has been diagnosed with DVT (deep vein thrombosis) as well so she is using compression stockings all the time most especially when she needs to stand for long periods of time. I [...]

Stress and Glowing Skin Don’t Mix

 
I am back to my old ways, at least this week. I have been staying up late, as late as 4AM on most days, because I accepted an opportunity that needs to let me work during US time. I cannot say no since I am going to be compensated well. At least, it also helps [...]

Eat Peanuts?

My mom used to say that whenever the monthly visitor is coming, I should try and avoid oily foods to avoid pimple breakouts (I might need acne serum to treat them) and salty foods so I won’t bloat. Being the good daughter I was, of course I never really followed my mom’s advice. I got [...]

Making Outdoor Dining a Pleasant Experience

 
I noticed most restaurants these days have an outdoor dining area. I never knew that alfresco dining would be such a trend. Maybe because people these days want to be with nature when eating? Practically, it is because there has been a social awareness of the dangers of smoking so almost all restaurants have a [...]

Settling Credit Card Debt

I have heard and personally experienced credit card stories that have turned into a living nightmare. It all started innocently enough, receiving the first credit card and deciding to take it on a trial swipe at one’s favorite store. One would not think of it as incurring debt, as you basically will pay for it [...]

Fast and the Furious

Have you ever watched the movie the Fast and the Furious? It’s a movie that showcases good-looking cars, as I call it, cars for single guys. My husband doesn’t fail to notice these types of cars, one with lambo doors, everytime we go out. He would swoon and praise the car as if it’s a [...]
