A few of my son’s friends in school have been hit hard with gastroenteritis the past week. We are hoping my son won’t catch the virus so we have told him to wash his hands and apply hand sanitizer before and after eating. At home, we have taken extra steps and bought a water filter for faucets even if we buy mineral water for our drinking needs. Sick kids are a mother’s nightmare!
No more shopping for me until December. I just (I think) bought the most tech gadget ever. Save for a really nice point and shoot camera, I really do not need anything else (maybe a new car!) There are a lot of great deals on clearance savings outlets lately but I’m closing my eyes on that one.
I will be back with what I got next month!
I had a spur of the moment purchase last week, totally uncharacteristic of me (or what I am to be this year). But it was such a good deal I could not find it in my heart to say no. I am trying hard not to think about the purchase because I might change my mind – but hey, I would be “needing” it somehow. It’s been years since I upgraded my unlocked phone – so that will be your first clue.
It’s the start of the year and it’s time to pay some serious bills – bills from credit cards because of holiday spending, renewals on insurance policies and if you have a business, renewals on permits and business insurance policies. No matter how small your business is, it is always safer and wiser to invest on business insurance. It will cover your liabilities and protect your assets!
Last year, our trusty old vehicle suffered a lot of breakdowns. It was literally breaking down every month. Each time a problem is solved, something new comes up, it was financially draining, really! How I wish there was a mechanical breakdown insurance policy we subscribed to. Oh well, lesson learned. When we get a new car, we will definitely insure it!
I wonder if getting a treadmill will be worth it, I really do not want to go to my Dad’s house everytime I want to work out – so I am thinking of getting my own. However, there are some feedback that a nordic trac elliptical will be better, price-wise and calorie-losing efficient-wise.
There are coupons which are expiring today. Let me see if I can decide right away.
For mothers who have babies and want to lose their postpartum weight fast, look into getting a baby jogger city.
That way, you can always take the baby everywhere you go even if you are taking your brisk walking or jogging. It accomplishes two things: It gives you energy to lose calories, and your baby gets his dose of fresh air and sunshine.
Me and the husband are very nocturnal people. We have been like this ever since I can remember, but I have the discipline to wake up early in the morning (motherhood and kids do that to you, especially if you do not have a maid) and have mastered the art of catnaps. The husband hasn’t though and he gets way too thin especially now because of his work. That is why I bought him a lot of multivitamins so he can take one everyday. Good thing I am big, I dont need any!
It’s sharing time once again. I learned that there are reasons why sometimes a not-so oily face becomes bombarded with so many pimples. There are acne solutions to every facial problem – blackheads, white heads or pimples – but you need to make sure you know what you are treating and that you are treating it correctly so as not to aggravate the situation.
There are four main causes of acne: Irregular skin exfoliation, inflammation, excess oil production, and bacteria (P. acnes). Excess oil makes the dead skin cells stick together, clogging the pores and often causing blackheads or whiteheads. Bacteria then settles into the pores and causes inflammation, which results in redness and infection.
FYI 
I have been doing some reading on slimquick extreme reviews because I need to make a presentation next week for my boss and here is what I found (I just thought of sharing some things with you):
