WOMEN

As I get older, I got very particular about my health. I used to not care about what I eat or if I am getting enough sleep for. I don't care if I am getting enough nutrients or if I am exercising. But after I hit the age of 27, I started freaking out. I have the false notion that I wouls stay young forever. When I hit that age, I thought, uh-oh, I will be 30 soon and before I know it, I would start to have wrinkles and saggy everything. I need to start doing something for myself.

Together with my hubby, I started to hit the gym regularly. I also started to eat right. I ate healthy and I learned a lot of things about taking care of my body. I also incorporated consuming organic whey in my diet. It is a good source of protein and it's also a good source of energy. It is proven and tested that organic whey protein is responsible for creating lean muscles in our body. I get mine from The Organic Whey because their product is USDA approved and it's affordable. Eating fruits and vegetables, as well as plenty of water intake is very important to keep the bosy at its best.

How about you? Have you thought of starting in the healthy road? It's never too late, and as soon as you start it, the sooner you will see results. You will find out that getting fit and healthy also brings out happiness.

In this hard economic times, it helps a lot to save in everything. I have learned all kinds of tricks to make my husband's paycheck go further. One of the ways that helped me alot is by using coupons in my purchases. Every little cent counts and it helps me buy extra stuff that I could not have afford if it wasn't for the coupons.

There's an ongoing GroupOn Offer right now that offers up to 60% discount in Healthy Direction's health, beauty and skin care products. It's the perfect time because I need new shampoos and conditioners. I'm sure I would pay way less than what I would have paid if I wont use the coupons they offer.

It's summer! Are you all ready for the beach? I am not but I am trying still to get the bikini body. Well, not really a bikini body because I most of the time just wear one-piece swimsuits, but you know what I meant. Me and hubby have been going to the gym since April. Although it's not regularly, it still helps us get into shape.

I remember the first time I went to the gym, I was shocked to see the seemingly big muscled body builders there. My husband explained that they were using muscle steroids to make their muscles big. They also eat a lot of protein everyday to help them build more muscles. I was a little scared that if I keep on weight training, I might look like them. But my husband assured me that I wont.

Well I hope I get to have a more toned body so I would look good in my bikini this summer.

Love is a four-letter word yet it encompasses all kinds of emotions. Love is hard to define as well because it all depends on the certain individuals experience that makes him define what love means. I'm sure that love has touched each and every one of us one way or another, and since it's Father's Day, I would like to share about how I came to meet my love of my life, the father of my kids, my husband...

My husband is a couple of years older than me. We met when we were both in an online dating site that makes it possible for people all over the world to get to know each other. I was the first one who sent him a message. After reading his profile and looking at his picture, I was more inclined to get to know him better. He sent me a message back and we started talking. We got to know each other better as we talk more and more everyday. And then we decided to meet.

He flew thousands of miles to see me and it only got better. We loved each others company. When he left, we made sure that we will keep on communicating and that he would come visit me as often as possible. Now after a years of being married, and two kids that brightens up our home, we are still madly in-love with each other. I love him more now than the first time I saw him and I know he feels the same way. Love is wonderful and it will keep on getting better!

There's a show on TV titled "Celebrity Rehab". I watched it in its first season and I came to realize and understand how hard it is to recover from a certain addiction. It needs intense therapy and support from family and friends.

That's why recovery house l.a is very important for people who are going through recovery for whatever addiction they have. It's a safe haven for them, making it easier on their part to survive the hard adjustment they have to go through.

There are plenty of sober living house in the country now. It's sad because that only means that there's a growing addiction problem. But on the bright side, it also means that people are trying hard to fix it and it's a good thing.

Being a mom of two does not make me an expert with how to take care of babies. But I have my own experiences that are helpful to other mothers out there who have been going through what I went through. One major infant problem that I experienced was infant colic. This is pretty common in babies, breastfed or formula fed. 

Natural remedies are available for colic relief. It is very much important to treat colic symptoms with natural ingredients because babies could not process strong chemicals in their developing liver. I for one made sure that my baby gets as much love as she could. I also gave her a formula to help lessen the colic symptoms.

As a mother, I know it's not easy to have a baby with colic. It's heart-wrenching to see them in pain and it's also extra tiring to take care of a baby with colic. Getting as much information about it would be helpful.

Are you Asian like me? I'll let you on a secret about ways to improve that beautiful long locks that you're blessed with. Asian hair are mostly thick and shiny but there are times when our hair just don't seem to cooperate with us. I have problems with my hair as well and through research online, I found ways to help me manage it especially during the bad hair days.

Keeping hair clean is of course the basic thing to do. But we have to make sure that the product we use would not cause any harm to our hair. I found a wonderful product developed by Chaz Dean, a well-known celebrity stylist. This product is called Wen Hair Care. It cleans up the hair and conditions it at the same time. After washing the hair, while it's damp, I also apply a hair serum that I got from walmart. I air-dry it if I am not going anywhere, and I only brush it when it's almost all the way dry.

Every week, I apply coconut milk that I also got from walmart and leave it on my hair for 1 hour. It helps keep my hair dark and shiny. Whenever I have dandruff, which I have every now and then, I just apply extra virgin olive oil in my scalp and it does the trick for me. It is always better to use products that contain natural ingredients than the ones that use harsh chemicals.

I have a friend who just filed for bankruptcy. They owned rental properties and when the economy crashed, they could not pay for the mortgage in their properties. Their credit card bills are piling-up so they decided to just file for bankruptcy to save themselves.

They hired a Bankruptcy Lawyer and they provided to him all the necessary paper works. Now their case is going smooth and they say around August everything will be done and finalized. They get to keep their house and their car and all the stuff they bought with their credit cards. That's awesome if you ask me.

I am happy for her but I am glad that we don't need to go through her predicament. But if I am in financial strife and I need to get out of it, I would definitely file for bankruptcy and hire a good lawyer to represent me.

I am very particular about the clothes I wear. Call it whatever you like, but I always like to be fashionable no matter what season it is. My sister told me once that I should not give any reason for my husband to look at somebody else, and one way of doing that is by dressing up nice and attractive for him at all times. Don't get me wrong, being fashionable don't mean that you have to spend every last penny in your paycheck. As long as you have a sense of style, you would always look like a million bucks at price that won't break your wallet.

When I got pregnant, I still managed to look kind of cute despite my bulging belly and swollen everything else. I still wear heeled shoes, and make-up. You might wonder how I could still look cute when most of the maternity outfits that are being sold in the stores are grandma-ish. But I shop at an online shop that sells cute maternity clothes at an affordable price.

I always get compliments even when I was about to pop. My doctor would even compliment me every time I go for a check-up. They made a nickname for me at the clinic and it's hot pregnant momma!

Looking for a job nowadays is harder than usual. There are more people losing their jobs and being laid-off than people being hired. It's a shame because the needs of those people are constant and not having a job means not being able to buy groceries and not being able to pay the bills.

Even if the situation is not that inviting right now, I am still gonna try to look for a job. I looked online for jobs and I found a lot of job hiring. It is a surprise because with the current economy, I really thought that jobs would be scarce. It just proves that if you just look hard enough, you would find all kinds of things, including jobs. I already drafted my resume from a site online and hopefully I get hired.

Job hunting is not easy that's why I will make sure that when I get hired someday, I would do everything to make sure that I keep it. The only way to do it is to love what you do and realize the benefits it's giving you.
