Die.t


09 Jul

It truly is hard to be on diet. That is why many people are turning into plastic surgeries and weight loss pills such as fat burners. Many of us thought that dieting means giving up the food that you love. But the truth is not! Not necessarily.

Diet along with proper exercise is good for our health. You can eat what you  love like decadent Chocolate, creamy cheesecakes and even delectable ribs. The goal is not to loose calories, the key is eating in portions. You can eat 5 times a day breakfast, light-snack, lunch, light-snack and dinner. Breakfast is what they say the most important meal of the day. It is true for me because what you eat on breakfast is what gives you the energy to start your day. You have to start good breakfast not sugar and calorie packed like doughnut! Doughnuts doesn’t make you full, it want you to keep grabbing one after another. Eggs for breakfast is perfect for it gives you the protein you need.

Try bringing fruits at work and eat one for your snack along with a brisk walking during breaks. You can eat a moderate portion for lunch and another snack in the afternoon. Don’t forget to eat a moderate dinner and make sure to eat hours before going  to bed. That way, you have plenty of time to let it settle in your stomach. Talk to your doctor before starting any health routines such as eating healthy and exercise routines, that way your doctor can give you advise that is truly tailored especially for you to follow.  Start by going to the gym at least 3x a week and in no time, you will soon forget what diet is all about!

Burned Marks


09 Jul

A New York Mom filed a lawsuit against a famous cosmetic company after she claimed that she was burned after using their stretch-mark cream. She said that instead of helping her with her stretch-mark, she felt immediate pain after applying the said cream to her stomach. There’s no word from the cosmetic company yet.

I feel for the woman but there are many products in the market today that claims to heal better, look better and repair the old you to be a new you. There’s nothing wrong with beautifying oneself don’t get me wrong, but we consumers are so trying hard to get rid of what we think is ugly that we would spend and try products whose promises are empty!  Stretch-mark are unavoidable, many women who happens to have it when they get pregnant. But I don’t think there’s other way to remove it unless you go to a major surgery! I am not even sure if the cosmetic surgeon can do it unless you have  to have a tummy tuck and some of the skin with scars removed! The companies whose making the products should make an effort to sell products that would actually work. I know that there are products that can help but none of them can completely erased all of the scars! They should make the stuff really works that way it will sell more with no complaints~

Curb Appeal


09 Jul

One of the most significant factor of home value is your curb appeal,yes many of us believed that outside beauty is not what’s important. That might applied in human beauty but in keeping up your investment such as your house, outside beauty is as important as inside beauty for home investment.

You need to plan how it looks and appeals from the outside to appreciate more what’s on the inside. When planning your landscape, it is important to plan it according to the size of your landscape. You don’t want it to be stuffed with perennials and other plants. Subtle yet classy is what you should aim for. You can add flower bearing plants, perennials, wild flowers or even fruit bearing trees. The key is not to over-stuff your space with whatever you want, you may choose to add some of the mentioned options above . Like I said, depending on your landscape size you can put less or more.

Also don’t forget to beautify your landscape with some ornamental materials like a small fountain & classy figurines. Don’t forget to illuminate your landscape with beautiful lighting. You can choose from different styles and from different brands, make sure to look for outdoor lighting sale going on, you can save money while shopping to beautify your home. If you want to add  lights on the entry door, get a light that is not too bright. You don’t want to blind your guest  plus, it is not good to look at.  Like I said, make it simple, illuminate the landscape gently not too bright and once it’s there, maintain it with cleanliness .
