Carpet Deep-Cleaning Plan

Since our rented apartment home is not that big and only our temporary home, my husband said that it is not wise enough to buy a deep-cleaner for our carpet. So I have to take care of it like a baby. But since I have a terrible-two years old toddler, it is expected that it will dirty compared before. And I don't like the idea of being it stained for long, yep, especially that I have a heart baby.

And off I go thinking of having this cleaned as soon as possible. I just have to find a good deal to have this taken cared of. It will also be Christmas soon, so it is best to have it done.

Good luck to me of when it will be and finding a deal. :-) After all, it is what the best to do. Have a great day! ~hugs~

Goodbye October 2013

Don't you love to think that December is around the corner? Okay, let's have November first before that. And so,  hello November 1st! Hep, hep, hooray! Ha ha!

Alright, we just said goodbye to October. So, how's your first day of this month? I know it is still going to get night here in Pacific Time but in Eastern, it already is. And so is on the other part of the world like Philippines (my birth country), it is already second day of this month there.

Ooh well, speaking of November 1st and 2nd, I can imagine how fun it is in my birth country as my family circles gather along to visit our family members in the cemetery, whose already been in heaven. Such day, as Roman Catholic, are All Saints Day and All Souls Day. We gather flowers and candles as well as attend mass to commemorate. Also, the best part is the bonding with good foods. It is some kind of an occasion, in fact, it is a holiday in the Philippines on the 1st.

Somehow, I can still feel the spirit of it  here in United States of A when it's already the end month of October as it is a Halloween Trick or Treat time. I think it's because I am not that active in the church affair and basically since my husband is not of the same religion as mine. Also, I don't have family circles here. Ooh well, I cannot complain that much. Ha!

And so, I'll just then great everyone a Happy 1st Day of November! ~hugs~

Weight Loss Practices for a Healthier You

In doing our chores or working, we need to have a healthy body and mind. We need to be healthy in every sense.

Obesity and other similar weight-control problems are just some of the major health issues that both adults and children deal with. When obesity is not addressed properly, it also results to other health complications such as hypertension, heart disease and diabetes. The good news is that reaching your ideal weight and being able to maintain it is possible even for someone who has been struggling with it for years.

One of the first steps that you need to take is to recognize the different factors that have contributed to your weight gain. Two of the most common causes of obesity are unhealthy eating habits and lack of regular physical activity. You can choose to work with a health professional such as a dietician or a nutritionist if you want to have a better understanding of your eating habits. This will allow you to create a healthier diet plan that will gradually help you to not only lose your excess weight but more importantly, have a healthier and stronger body. Aside from eating healthy foods, you can also look into some dietary supplements and pills  which can help you lose weight and acquire the additional nutrients that your body needs. You can research about them first so that you will have all the information you need that will help you determine why you need to include them in your weight loss program.

Regular exercise is also important. You can begin with a simple and less strenuous activity such walking so that you will not be overwhelmed. It is best if you consult with your doctor first so that you will be advised properly as to the type of physical activities that are suitable for you. Once you feel that your body is getting used to regular exercise, you can begin doing more demanding forms of exercise such as running, biking or swimming.

Through your new and healthier eating habit, regular exercise regimen and the help of dietary supplements, you will be able to gradually lose your excess body fats and reach your ideal weight. They will also help you maintain that ideal weight and have that strong and healthy body that you have always wanted.

Keeping Your Kitchen Rodents Free

Among all the places in the house, the kitchen should be one of the cleanest. This where we are going to
prepare our food which we are going to ingest every day. This place should be free from rodents, insects
and a lot more disgusting animals that might carry germs and other toxic substances. Even ants can
spread diseases because you’ll never know where they set their feet on.

In order to keep these creatures away from your precious kitchen, you should know how to store your
food. If you have a fridge, keep them inside. It is the place wherein you can be assured it is sealed.
Also, after using your utensils, see to it that you were able to clean it thoroughly. These creatures have strong
sense of smell and if they could sense that there are still food particles in your utensils, they would
immediately inform their clan to attack and grab it.

Fix Your Skin

Most of us begin life with normal skin. Through the years, the environment, what we eat and drink, hormones, and other factors contribute to changes and challenges. There are three types of skin: dry, oily, and combination.

Dry
 Dry skin has a fine texture with small pores. It often feels “tight’ and is prone to broken capillaries. Dry skin should be kept away from weather extremes, especially harsh winds.

Oily
 With oily skin, the pores of the skin are large and visible. The oil is especially prominent on the nose, forehead, and chin. It is prone to blemishes and blackheads. Although it seems logical to get at these eruptions with aggressive products, this makes oily skin even worse.

Combination
 This is actually two skin types on one face. Skin is usually oily in the T zone of the face (nose, forehead, and chin) while dry elsewhere. Don’t be overly aggressive with the oily area and neglect the dry spots. Use powdered milk to wash and exfoliate, use lemon toner only in the T zone, then concentrate moisturizing to the dry zones.

MakeUp to Enhance Beauty

It's true that our appearance tends to dictate our mood levels and how we deal with the struggles of the day. That's why there's so many weight-loss advertisements and skin care creams. People care about how they look, and while it may seem shallow, it's amazing how even a simple change can elevate one's level of self confidence.

Make-up is an excellent way to both heighten and dial down the appearance of certain features. If you're not crazy about the appearance of bright colors and bold lines, you can use makeup to enhance your natural features without going overboard. Therefore, one shouldn't be hesitant about using makeup regularly, because you don't have to slop it on.

Conversely, it's also delightful to get fanciful with your color palette. You can attract intense attention to your eyes with a rainbow of contrasting shadows, and there are so many distinctive looks you can experiment with until you find the one that matches your own personality.

There is also an abundance of choices when it comes to actually purchasing your make-up. It's important to take note of what's really going into your products. For instance, some are tested on animals while others are not, and some products may contain ingredients that aren't compatible with your skin.

In addition to traditional foundations and powders, you can also buy airbrush makeup which you actually blow onto your face for even, silken coverage. It creates a very Hollywood look that will manage to stay in place through a full day of play.

A House is a Home

A home is a house where you are comfortable living. 

Nowadays we can see people sleeping in the streets because they don’t have home. How lucky those who have their own home. A home where we can sleep, can relax and can make our own move . We have different perspective on what home we really mean to say. For me there is more wide meaning on it, when you got married and you don’t have your own home yet, one tradition in other countries like in my birth country, in this situation is you will be with the parents of either in the side of the husband or wife, where in you will going to deal with your in laws, a new home where a lot of adjustment must take.

A new home where to start the new chapter of your life. This is a place where you can mold yourself into a responsible husband/wife or even if you are in your single days then this will be more challenging. Decorating and checking on every angle of your home surely feel so relaxing, isn't it?

Carpet Cleaning

Most houses have carpets. There are pros and cons on it but for me as a mom, I like having carpet better as if my child encounter accident like fall (which is usual having a baby or toddler) it doesn't hit directly to the head or some important parts of a child.

With a carpet, scheduling a carpet cleaning is a must, especially if you have a toddler. And yes, going green is great. Again, as a mom and some other neat-freaks out there, I can sense being on "green" is something that they're on. some other stuffs sticking in the carpet which it needs a professional to clean it. Well, one can actually learn if one has a plan of doing Do-It-Yourself and I would love to do it, unfortunately, time restricts and hubby is oppose on the idea as it takes a lot of time, besides, our rented-apartment home is not that big so it doesn't take up a lot of work to do for the pro-carpet cleaner --- that being said, you bet it doesn't really require big bucks unlike big houses. I have only a small family to which it means I only need a small home. :-) I can't imagine to those having a big family with just only have enough income. Ooh well. :)

Have a great day everyone! ~hugs~

From Single to Married

I’m now happily married and I enjoying it. I have the vision and perspective how to live being married. I observed in my environment those people having married life, they have more responsibilities, their lives turns into different ways.

During my single days, it was fun --- yes, that is true. Being single you only have to think your own. You are only responsible on your own, you don’t need to think of others. But time comes that I was burning out being single, so entering marriage was really a great challenge for me, though I was at the right age then.

It is not that an easy to be married, you need to double your work, more responsible in order to feed your family, there are times you have misunderstanding with your partner. It comes in your married life the ups and downs, but unlike boyfriend- girlfriend stage that you can decide to let go your relationship in an easy way. In your married life, you must sacrifice for the sake of your family and lower your pride to settle the problem as in each must listen to each other's explanation . But on the other side, married life is a happy life!

Toolboxes

As a member of the workforce, you probably have two things that are more important to you than anything else, at least in a professional sense: Your truck and your toolbox. You take both of them with you wherever you go. This is true if you work in construction, plumbing, or many other industries. When you get Waterloo toolboxes, you have to consider how to secure them to the truck when you want to throw them in the back bed and go to work. You will not always have enough room in the cab.

Some toolboxes are built for this purpose. You will see that they are constructed to fit right across the bed, up against the cab, and they can be fastened in place. These are huge toolboxes that can be removed, though you usually will not move them around very much. They just protect the tools that you have to bring that are large enough to be moved on their own, such as circular saws.

For smaller toolboxes, you just need to get a set of straps. There should be four hooks in the corners of the bed that are made out of metal. They look like boat cleats. You can either wrap the straps around them or hook the metal end through the middle. Put the toolbox up against one wall of the bed, hook the strap to the cleats on both sides, and then tighten it with the handle to hold the box in place.

 

Style

What exactly is style?

Although it means different things to different people, and it would take forever to debate what makes a person stylish, it comes down to what suits you. It is the look of confidence that shines through your clothing.

Everyone should have a style that’s all their own. Yes, it is important to stay up-to-date on what is trendy. Then take those trends and adapt them to your own style. Never do the reverse. If you already have a style that’s not sending out the right message, don’t be afraid to change it. Just go for it. Change the way you look and see what the response is. Once you find a look that really works well for you, keep it. Use it from morning through evening with slight modifications. I got my look “right” after years of trial and error, I guess. Ha ha. I am a casual person, and when I tempted to stray from that look, I always ended up looking overdone. It made me feel uncomfortable. My new look is less time-consuming and is a style that I can use even at the most formal occasion.

Happy 6th Years Wedding Anniversary!

A couple dear to my heart is celebrating their 6th wedding anniversary this day. I want to greet them a happy, harmonious togetherness, and as sweet as a wine that the longer it stays in a barrel, the greater the taste it has. They may not be the best and perfect couple of what others may think, but because of togetherness as a couple, is what counts. I believe that when " a couple/family stays together, that couple forever " --- I hope so! God bless them.

They may not be having a fancy celebration but I think the togetherness on their very wedding day commemoration is what counts. Whatever they have in mind, I wish them granted. All I can say is great job for them. For six years of just being themselves (with no family near to give advices or so), they manage to overcome the obstacles came their way and hopefully, faithfully in the coming trials that are still coming. God is good, HE won't leave anyone that believe in HIM. Just keep holding on, until then.

And so, Happy, Happy 6th Wedding Anniversary! God bless their marriage!

Mix and Match Basics To Look Glamorous All-Year Round

Looking good is always affected by the outfit that you’re wearing. Don’t confuse it with wearing expensive clothes because it is totally a different story. You don’t have to take fashion short-courses in order to pull off that glamorous outfit.

Everything can be learned, all you have to do is be observant. Make yourself aware of the colors that looks good when combined, as well as those that don't. Familiarize yourself with the color wheel and choose colors that belong on the same group. If you can master the mix and match basics, then it’s a guarantee that you would be wearing an outfit that isn’t going to be eye straining.

You don’t have to buy the entire outfit in one store. Learn to hop from one place or store to another and compare prices. Sometimes sidewalk boutiques got the widest selections in town. These are also the type of stores wherein you can bargain for prices if you’re going to buy a lot.

Unclog a Stubborn Sink by Cleaning the Sink Trap

Usually it is the housewife can notice first if the sink is clog because she’s the one who uses the sink most of the time. So, how what would you do if the water can’t drain fast because of the clog sink. Anyway, here’s a simple and yet effective solution to unclog a sink.
 
The problem usually lies in the trap, the curved pipe under the sink. If plunging doesn’t work, it is time to clean the trap. No one looks forward to this job, but it is not something to avoid like the plague. If you want to avoid germs and guck, however, pull on a pair of rubber gloves, and put a bucket under the trap before you start. Grip one of the slip nuts (the nuts that connect the pipe to the trap) with slip-joint fliers and turn counterclockwise until the nut is loose. Repeat with the slip nut at the other end of the trap. If your pipes are chrome or copper, slide the slip nuts down the pipe and remove washers. If the pipes are PVC, remove the slip nuts and the washers. Pull the trap loose and empty it into the bucket. You may have to use a stiff wire to pull out the clog. Wash the trap naturally, and reverse the process to replace it. Run some water to refill the trap. So, that’s the simple way to unclog a sink.

Look Beyond the Label

Do you have a favorite place to shop? When you shop, do you have time to read the label? I guess, we should not overlook this very important note on each product to avoid allergens. Natural and organic labels are everywhere on personal care products, from face cleaners to face masks and everything in between. But the labels may not tell the whole story. Products that are used in natural skin care usually include botanical extracts and essential oils, but that doesn’t mean all the ingredients are natural.

Products that are labeled as hypoallergenic may still cause allergic reactions. Labels such as hypoallergenic and allergy tested are up to the manufacturer’s discretion and don’t have to meet specific regulatory criteria. It’s up to consumers to determine what’s really hypoallergenic. Finding the perfect products may take trial and error. If you have a particular concern, such as reddish or very sensitive skin, go to the doctor or dermatologist though most of the time this information is available on the Websites, providing recommendations based on skin type. But you know, it is still best to consult your dermatologist if you have doubt on it.

And so, have a great day everyone! Thanks for dropping-by, come back often. :)

Bid, Win and Save

I think, you are lucky that you stumbled upon my blog today because I have shared a video which I only found a while ago. I've heard statements of a satisfied customers in different places. Some online auction site is clearly different from other auction sites. Usually, if someone outbids your initial offer, the system automatically raises your bid in predetermined increments up to your limit. If the clock runs out, then the last bid would be the price of the item. Therefore, there are losers and there is only one winner.

When Taking Care of Yourself

The move to look more beautiful of using more natural personal care products has grown in leaps and bounds recently, giving conscientious consumers more products to choose from. From natural to organic, there is a lot to consider when selecting products for a daily regimen. In addition, don’t forget trying to avoid excess or inefficient product packaging. It is possible to choose products that are not harmful to the environment, to any places or so and still bring out your natural beauty.

If you are interested in more environmentally friendly lotions, shampoos, makeup, and soap, you may want to look at the chemicals in the products you use every day. Read the fine print on the labels. When it comes to soap, go mild. Strong soaps can remove natural moisturizers. Don’t go for dark hair dyes. They may contain coal tar ingredients. And avoid baby powder for it is not healthy for babies to breath.
