My plans of renovating our room is still on hold (see here). However, my husband and I made progress in cleaning up our hallway. I haven’t taken any photos yet but everything looks much better now. The books in the bookshelves inside our room can now breathe because I moved half of the contents to the new racks and placed them in the hallway. At first I wanted to categorized the books from favorites to not-so-used to dust gatherers but it was taking me too long. I ended up getting them in tens and just stacked them in any order.
But really, what I want to achieve is this.

My husband promised that we will do this as soon as we move to a bigger place next year. I’m excited! If we’re lucky, I might have a chance to get my own work area too.

home,
money matters,
women issues I just finished creating a list of things to buy next month. Aside from the usual grocery list, we need to buy floor mats for our car, new shower curtains, flashlight, a fan and a laptop cooler. They may not be expensive on their own but if you add them all up, it will cause havoc to my monthly budget. There are just too many purchases this month. I wish I can say that next month will be different but it’s my daughter’s birthday so I’m not counting on it. We don’t have anything planned yet but perhaps a small party with the kids from the neighborhood will do.

women issues Women everywhere are after the holy grail of diet pills. But how do we find it exactly? Most stuff online are either scam or if they can make you lose weight, you’d find yourself in the hospital in a couple of months.
When it comes to buying merchandise online, it never hurts to do your research before the purchase. There’s a reason why product reviews exists, so you can read through them and filter what you think is BS. And as for losing weight, the latest top rated diet pill that I saw is Apidexin. If you look at the description, you can see visible results in the first 72 hours or else they’ll give you your money back. But just because someone thinks it’s the best out there doesn’t mean you should go ahead and purchase one. Read, research and investigate. What works with your friend might not work with you. And if in doubt, always consult with your doctor.

me, myself and i,
women issues Someone needs to start comparing the best diet pills available in the market. I’ve been teased several times since this month on my weight gain and been asked a few times if I’m pregnant. My thighs are wider and my waist is definitely bulging but that’s because I’ve been eating too many dairy and pastries. So yes, it’s a food baby. Seriously, I would like to get back into shape before my birthday next month. Not only will I be meeting several friends I haven’t seen for a long time but it should serve as a gift to myself. It’s easy to let ourselves go, you know. One minute our jeans still fit us just fine but the next thing you know, it just won’t move past your thighs.

health,
women issues If you’re like my friend who believed that the below photo is possible, you’re probably one of those who frequent sites that offers diet pill reviews. Not that there’s anything wrong with shopping for diet pills. But if you’re getting obsessed about your weight and losing focus on everything no matter how many diet pills you take, then I suggest you hit the gym or run around the block so you can tell yourself that you’re doing something about your weight problem.
This reminds me of a movie that I saw last night. It was about two teenage girls suffering from bulimia. No matter what they do – exercise, diet, they still see themselves as fat. There was this one scene where the other girl was asked to describe what she sees in front of the mirror and all she can point out were her big thighs, huge arms and protruding belly. But the truth is, she was just a normal looking kid, only she doesn’t see it. Every part of her body gets magnified so she feels like all her efforts just go to waste. To cut the story short, her friend died from heart attack which led her to face her problems and see a professional.

women issues My friend, who is a single mom confided in me how it’s hard to join the dating scene. She said once people find out that she has a kid, they either stop caling or worse, avoid her like a plague. I told her they are probably jerks and that she can’t do without them. However, reality is I don’t know a lot of guys who’d be willing to date a single mom. So I was thrilled when I came across LocalSingleMoms.com, a single mother dating site that helps single parents find someone to hang out with whether for fun or for something more serious. It’s free too so you won’t lose any money if you don’t like the system. You may not find the love of your life, but you’d definitely gain friends that you’ll have in common with.

women issues Women worldwide have one thing in common – weight problem. Whenever my girlfriends and I talk, we always say how hard it is to be a woman. Not only you have to look at your best everyday, but you can’t even enjoy a good meal because you’re trying so hard to lose weight. I blame it on very thin models on magazines and the number of clothing made for sexy women only. Personally, I try what I can to keep in shape. By exercising regularly, I can eat what I want without feeling guilty. If you want to return to your pre-pregnancy weight or just stay fit, I highly suggest investing on workout equipments.
A good treadmill is a start. Check out the Smooth Fitness website on which model you can afford. They have this online tool that lets you select the perfect fitness equipment that’s not only right within your budget but one that you can really use. I like how you can specify the weight of the heaviest user and your experience level (jogger or walker?). The lowest price is Smooth 5.45 Treadmill at $988 which you can pay at $29 monthly which is pretty reasonable especially if you use it everyday.

home,
just for fun,
women issues I’ve always been an arts and crafts type of kid. My mom introduced me to arts when I was five years old. She said I loved working with paints so much that my art teacher decided to enroll me to advanced painting classes. My childhood was so much fun because of those classes. I’ve even tried working with polymer clay to create simple jewelries when I was 12. This is why I want to do the same for my little girl. As early as three, I want to expose her to all kinds of crafts including ceramic making, figure painting and pottery. She used to hate the feel of clay but now, it’s the first thing that she asks the moment she wakes up from her nap.
Finding arts and crafts product is so much easier now, thanks to the power of online shopping. There’s this company, AMACO/Brent that offers various art materials including modeling clays, art emboss, lead-free glazes, paper shapes, scrap booking tools, fabric dye/paints, art project books, and even a clay potter wheel for personal or educational use. Just seeing all the art materials from the site makes me want to do a quick project with my daughter ASAP. I guess it’s really no surprise why my mother and I love arts and crafts.

shopping,
women issues Whenever I feel that I’m underdressed or that my outfit is too simple, I make it up by wearing fabulous accessories. My favorites are jewelries but from time to time, I put on a nice silk scarf to brighten up a very plain shirt. If you’re not sure which looks good, you can check ShopWiki’s buying guide for accessories. I rely on their recommendations when I’m in doubt. Plus they offer a huge listing of products and where exactly you can buy it online.
Aside from jewelries, shoes can make a big difference to one’s outfit. You may have the attire of the century but if your shoes are wrong, then it will ruin the entire look. Check out SHopWiki’s buying guide to learn how to find that perfect fit. Their guide talks about how you should bring extra socks and stockings, checking for areas that pinch, how your toes should feel, etc. As for me, I’m just waiting for the weather to get a bit colder so I can buy one of these.
While you’re in there, read on the fashion trends too. From winter to spring to summer, you’ll learn how to maximize your wardrobe by buying a few pieces that you can mix and match.
