Side effects

With so many diet pills out there in the market, sometimes we don't know what's safe and what's not. It's sad that some diet pills do not advertise or include what's bad from their products. But what's good at times is that some products are true to their customers. Like there's this product I saw on the Internet - example, hydroxycut side effects, they include after effects.

New home

My parents have finally settled in their new house. I know a couple days would be tiring because of the things that they need to put away. I know because I've been there. But accordingly to my sister, the new house is beginning to look like a house now. Rooms are super cozy. Very good for loundging and sleep overs. Then my mom put on some patio furniture cushions that matches the curtains. Wow, I can't wait to visit them this weekend.

Creams

My mom's been using wrinkle creams my sister gave her from Dubai. I think it's working for her because I noticed clear lines and spots on her face and she's already 61 years old. I wonder what age am I going to use those wrinkle creams, I hope not anytime soon haha. For now, I'll just stick to my whitening and body lotion.

Best treatment

My sister's been loyal to her dermatologist. She's been constantly attending her facial treatment weekly and we are seeing major improvements. I think she already found the best acne treatment for her. I wish I had the time and money like her. Maybe if we've settled in our new house, I might consider going back to my treatment.

Muscle pain

It's been awhile since I did my usual exercice and yesterday, I finally visited and enrolled in the local gym near our new house. I'm a bit disappointed on their treadmill but the ambiance in the gym is okay. I think I'll get a new program for my work-out and use the stationary bicycle for my cardo. Now I'm feeling the muscle pain and in a few days, joint pain relief should come. It's time to stay fit again.

Eyebugs

In my line of work, sleep sometimes is a luxury because I work on graveyard shifts and sometimes I sleep only 1 or 2 hours only especially if I needed to ran errands in the house. I've been doing this for so many years already that I got used to it. But I can't deny the dark circles that I have around my eyes. Eyebugs. So I keep in mind to sleep more. I read it somewhere that it's good for you.

Treatments

My sister's been loyal to her dermatologist because she stills undergo acne treatments until now. I wish I have the time and the money like her. But I have my medicines and I still use them for maintenance. Only the sudden break outs are a bit frustrating but other than that, I'm still happy with the acne treatment with my doctor.

Massage at home

I want massage tables at home. Evern since I saw that massage table at my sister's house, I can't get over it. I've tried it and it's really effective.

I was interrupted with noise from a group of individuals here in the office the other day. I looked what their up to and it seems they are trying the new e cigarette that was recently releaed in the market. Maybe they are trying to quit smoking and trying to look for an alternative. Good for them.

Rainy season wear

It's rainy season again. And even though I don't like the rain, there's only one advantage I'm looking forward to--I can wear my favorite sweater and boots again. Rainy season attire is like being in Hong Kong all over again, without the rain of course. I just love the climate there. Not too cold, not too rainy. Just perfect for skirts, coats and boots. Love it.

Business minded

Being an corporate slave isn't bad at all especially if the career ladder in your work place fast. But some would still prefer putting up their own business. I'm truely impressed to those who took the risk and followed their passion. I wish I knew where to start and just manage my own business. Food stall in the mall? or maybe start on business card printing...

new home

We are finally here in our apartment. This is our fourth day and everything looks okay as far as I can tell. We still need a little more tweaking here and there but the important thing is that the little kiddo likes it here. We also plan to put up a mini-office area in the far end of the living and for that we need office furniture. But I think that'll wait for a few more weeks becauase we need to purchase first a dining table.

Hydroxycut or Gym?

We already moved to our new apartment and everybody seemed to like the place. It's kinda hot during the day but I really love the privacy on the third floor and the interior is not that bad. How I wish I have my own treadmill because I'm gaining weight again. My friend told me that there's this gym near our place but I haven't seen it yet. I'm thinking of taking fat burner pills but I'm not sure about
side effects of hydroxycut. I think I need to research more on that.

WORD of the day

eustress/U-strĕss/; noun
: Positive stress

Did you know?

The term eustress was first used by endocrinologist Hans Selye in 1975, when he published a model dividing stress into two major categories. In his 1975 article, Selye propounded that if stress felt by an individual actually enhances that individual’s function, be it physical or mental, it may be considered eustress.

The name given to the opposite form of this stress is much more familiar to us all. It’s called, of course, distress.

Some things that may make us feel eustress are:
§ Getting a promotion
§ Buying a new car
§ Falling in love
§ Riding a roller-coaster

…in other words, whatever gives you an uplifting, feel-good thrill. It isn’t all bad, friends and neighbors, although sometimes it is expensive. At least two of the above bullets will bankrupt you in one way or another. Still, feeling good for a little while is better than feeling bad all of the time. Thank you, eustress, for giving us all a reason to get out of bed and face another day.
