Is This An Art?

2012-02-03T19:53:00.001+01:00

What do you think? Is it an art or just a terrible neighbor?
This is extremely cool. The one who made this maybe has a trouble with his neighbor ;) How can you think of making an art like this if you have a good relationship with your neighbors. Can they come round and put one in my garden, asked one of the friends. LOL!
Absolutely a good art!

Bodily Changes

2012-02-02T07:59:00.000+01:00

Eating fresh vegetables and fruits is not enough to stay healthy especially when you are above forty when most men and women enter the menopausal period. This stage is crucial because you will be experiencing changes in your body and sometimes may lead to some health problems. You need to take some extra vitamins and minerals or food supplements.
These are some body changes you can feel especially when you are above forty or when you are in the menopausal stage. I started to have grey hair on my forehead and near my ears. Hair dying I hate it. What a work! But I have no choice because I do not want to see those grey hair. My friends recommended me to use a hair dye which has no ammonia. One of my friends is now on her menopausal stage. She is taking pills which are prescribed by her doctor.
I have just read an article about progesterone cream for menopausal symptom relief. You can buy progesterone cream online which is very good. No more hassle in going to the drugstore. You can even save some pounds by buying in volume.
This progesterone cream has proven to increase libido, protect against breast cyst, a natural anti-depressant which is very good for women who are alone, etc.
In UK it is difficult to buy progesterone cream but it is available online.
The TV host and producer Oprah Winfrey endorses it. To get more info about natural menopausal relief and where to buy progesterone cream, please visit VITASUNN and watch what Oprah says.

MONEY AND TIME

2012-01-27T18:34:00.004+01:00

Teens: You have all the time and energy but no money.

Workers: You have the money and energy but no time.

Oldies: You have all the time and money but no more energy.

So, enjoy every moment of your life because you cannot have everything (MONEY AND TIME) at one time.

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEEND AHEAD!

Discounts and Bonuses from Walgreens

2012-01-21T10:10:00.000+01:00

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

To attract customers and to keep them is very difficult especially this time because of the economic situations. All prices go up. To accommodate the high prices business owners give discounts and bonuses. The more you buy the more discounts, bonuses and gifts in different forms you receive.

Walgreens offers discounts and bonuses to his members. Be a member of Walgreens Prescription Savings Club and enjoy the discounts and bonuses every time you purchase their products. Individual membership is available for $5 but why not enroll the whole family for $10 a year? The whole family can enjoy the benefits that Walgreens gives to his members. Children above 18 years old can enroll separately.

They have more than 8,000 brand-name and generic medications. You can download the value priced medication list.

We all know that health insurance will not cover all medications. So, discounts on prescriptions are very interesting. Walgreens gives discounts on prescription and aside from that you can get bonus. Thus a discount and a bonus every time you buy Walgreens and Nice brand products.

I have just visited Walgreens on Twitter and this was the recent tweet: Do you wear contacts? Well, did you know that Walgreens carries contacts, and at 20% off thru February 28th?

Isn't it great to receive tweets from Walgreens about their new discounted products?

Link them to your Facebook Walgreens on Facebook or follow them on Twitter.

A New Year, A New Challenge

2012-01-05T18:56:00.003+01:00

"A FRUITFUL AND BLESSED NEW YEAR! to everyone
What are your new year's resolutions?
Do you have any plans this year which you give primary importance to your life?
I just wanted to do something different this year, a new challenge but I do not know yet.
A new direction, a new challenge, something that I have never done before. Life becomes boring if there are no challenges and new encounters. Life will be more meaningful if you do something good to your fellow like extending your helping hand or sharing what you have.
I do not have any fixed plans this year. Just waiting what this year brings to my life as a blogger, wife and a mother.

Merry Christmas

A woman accompanied her husband to the doctor's office. After the checkup, the doctor took the wife aside and told her, "If you don't do the following, your husband will lose his will to live and surely die."

Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast and send him off to work in a good mood.
At lunch time, make him a warm, nutritious meal and put him in a good frame of mind before he goes back to work.
For dinner, fix especially nice meals selected from his favorite foods and don't burden him with household chores or problems.

On the way home, the husband asked his wife what the doctor had told her.
She replied, "You're going to die."

Best Quality Cars

2011-11-25T10:47:00.002+01:00

One of my friends invited me to her birthday party. My neighbor was also invited so I went with her. She has a nice car. It is six months old. Everything is automatic with built-in navigation. I was curious about the price of the car so I searched on the net since I do not want to ask her about that.
While surfing on the net I found many websites selling cars like General Motors. I was intrigued by the GM cars. So, I hopped from one page to another. They have lots of car brands to choice from. They build the best quality cars. The general motors culture is creating best quality cars using the newest technologies and GM ideas, beliefs and knowledge. That is why GM is still one of the biggest companies which build the fastest vehicles on earth.
After hours of sitting behind my computer I found various prices of the car which my friend has. But at least I have a little idea about the average price of her car. I want to have one someday ;) and will buy it from GM.

Our Fondant Cakes

2011-11-17T09:08:00.002+01:00

One of my good friends had her birthday last October. To celebrate her special day, she asked one of our friends to teach us on how to decorate a cake using fondant.
Here are the results of that afternoon session.

It is easy to decorate a cake using fondant because there are so many patterns like birds, flowers etc. which you can just press to the rolled fondant compared to buttercream icing which is difficult. You need to have control of your hands so that the icing will be in good forms or shapes.

BTw, how do you like our hood? LOL!

Stress Can Cause Baldness

2011-11-15T10:52:00.001+01:00

One of my colleagues before had a problem with hair loss. His doctor told him to take a rest. One cause of hair loss is stress, the doctor explained. I believe in what the doctor told him because our boss gave him multi-tasks. He answered clients phone calls and visited them too. Going home late was the best solution to finish the work on time. Our boss was very strict.
He is wearing wig now. I told him why not try hair transplant surgery. There are so many artists having this kind of surgery. Yes, it is expensive but if you are satisfied with the result then it is a good investment and is lifetime too. He considered my idea of having hair transplant surgery but he will first save hundred bucks for the surgery because he cannot just do it now. I have four mouths to feed, he added.
Last September he quitted his job. Before he went on a short vacation to Prague he applied for a new job and position. When he was back, one of the companies accepted him. Luckily he has a job now which is less stressful than before.

Kevin was 7 months old in this pic. With his big smile. So cute! I love this pic!
When I have nothing to do or feel of doing nothing I look at my kids album and remember those memorable moments. Love to see their smile, laugh and cry.

An Awesome Christmas Gift

2011-11-15T09:20:00.003+01:00

Our new fiberglass internet connection was installed last week. Now we have HD senders which are awesome. The quality of the films are better than the ordinary senders. We plan to have a new tv and a good sound system for an ultimate viewing. Since last week we have been searching on the net and visiting different stores in the city for a new tv. This TVee Model 30 sound system attracts and interests us. It has Premium LCR HDTV Soundbar Speaker and Wireless Subwoofer with Virtual Surround Sound and Bluetooth which is a perfect tv in the living room. But we will wait until next month since there will be sales. Most of the stores are giving away 30-40 % discounts on Christmas time. This will be an awesome gift for the whole family this Christmas.
The old tv will be transferred to my son's bedroom. If ever we want to view our favorite films we can watch them anytime we want without having any arguments with my kids.
We are satisfied with the fiberglass internet connection so far. My hubby can download as many films he wants and watch them on our new LCR HDTV.

An Interesting Conversation With A Good Friend

2011-11-10T22:59:00.003+01:00

Last month I met one of my good friends at the KFC, my favorite fast food restaurant. We have not seen each other for a while. We send messages via FB and texts. We ordered 2 sets of hot wings, French fries and drinks. We talked a lot of things...our family back home. The days when we were young and the recent experiences we have here in our new country were the main subjects of our conversation. Sad to say they plan to move in Germany. Her husband likes it there. But before they will move, they should have their house repaired so that they can ask for a good selling price. A Durable Vinyl Flooring is what they are looking for. They plan to have it repaired next year after their vacation from our homeland. They also have to change the bathroom tiles since they have stained from water leaks. Ceramic floor tiles for the bathroom are the best. They are easy to clean. Hope that they can sell the house with the price they wanted because the house market now is very disappointing.

Blog PR decreases :(

2011-11-10T08:50:00.004+01:00

I checked my blog PR yesterday and very sad to know it went down :( from PR 3 to 2. I really do not understand why this happened. I update this blog regularly. Most of the posts are original and more than 70% of them posts are unpaid.

How about you? Have you checked your blog PR recently?

Pic of the Week---Pic Edited by my Friend

2011-11-02T08:40:00.000+01:00

My ever good friend made this one for me. How nice and sweet of her! We've been friends for more than 10 years. We sometimes meet in the parties. Fb is the best way for us to keep in touch and sms too. The kind of friendship we have is something to treasure. I really like this pic of mine. The background matches my red shirt. Red is my fave color.
I use Imikimi Sharing Creativity in editing my pictures. I like this program because they have a lot of photo backgrounds in different categories like Christmas, Face Cut-outs, Special Days, Cards and many more. When I have nothing to do, I can spend hours doing some photo editing and share to my friends on FB. Picjoke and Photobucket are also good. I sometimes use these programs, too.
Thanks a lot for making this one!
