The wonders of concealers

skin care, health & beauty No Comments »

When I went home yesterday night, I was shocked to see our neighbor’s babysitter, Marienel. She looked like she’s been crying all day. Concerned, I hesitantly approached her and asked what happened. She blankly stared at me and said, “Huh?”

I shared my observation about her looking like she’s been crying all day and the creases in her forehead increased in confusion. I just raised my eyebrows in question and concern. Then surprisingly, she laughed, hard. I thought she was going crazy, then she said, “It’s the eye concealer!”

This time, I was the one who gave her a blank stare. Marienel continued while giggling, “I forgot to put on my eye concealer that’s why my eye bags are all dark and I look like I’ve been crying.” Ah-hah! So that’s the culprit.

Frankly though, proper application of a good eye wrinkle cream with whitening action would be more helpful than using concealers. What do you think?

Market value upgrade in process

I just found out that the highest position and salary level I can attain in my company is my current one. Consequently, I have decided that it’s high time for me to invest in another level-up for better career opportunity.

Unfortunately, for those with busy schedule or are currently employed, it’s really quite hard to find time to level-up and upgrade yourself; which is why I’m very happy there’s such a thing as online bachelor degree and short training courses which makes leveling up possible. The only problem is, I’m not quite sure which area or skills I should be enhancing.

Thanks to the two-day internet marketing event I attended last March 4-5, I met high-profile internet marketers which are willing to train fellow SEM enthusiasts for a discounted price! I unhesitatingly enrolled myself in three short online trainings to level up and increase my market value (and find a more appropriate company for my skills and talents).

Can’t wait to start upgrading with the trainings!

Hey guys! I found a great site online where you can buy computer stuff in an amazingly low price. Well I have not tried it yet, but based from their prices, it is like they are having a clearance sale every time!I found this site while looking for a cheap iPod portable speaker. I searched for clearance sale and it popped up in Google. In this site you’ll find some great deals on mostly gadgets and PC accessories. What I like about this site, aside from the low priced products, is the clean interface that will not confuse you in any way. I just love browsing to their discounted line of products. It’s just amazing.

How white is naturally white?

health & beauty No Comments »

I have always been interested on getting my teeth whitened ever since college. Whenever I see celebrities with shiny white teeth, I can’t help but be envious. Fortunately, a friend of mine who is a Plano cosmetic dentist offered me a huge discount on teeth whitening.However, come to think of it, how white exactly is “naturally white” anyway? My dentist friend explained that whitening solutions can whiten your teeth to virtually the lightest shade but of course with some considerations. Whitening agents contain hydrogen peroxide, a form of bleach, that strip away layers of discolored layers of teeth. Longer exposures to this bleaching agent means whiter teeth. The problem however is there is a tendency for the teeth to get brittle as it is bleached so the exposure time is just limited.Naturally, teeth are white but with a tint of yellow. If you look at children’s teeth you will see the natural color of teeth. This is the shade that I must aim for. Any shade lighter than that and the teeth will look like dentures already. hehe.

The secret recipe to staying young and pretty

On my way to my room, I was surprised to hear my sister Anne wail out my name. She sounded really in despair so I immediately ran to her room. When I opened the door, I saw her freaking out on a tiny, almost unnoticeable wrinkle in her eye.

I didn’t know whether to strangle her for making me worry, or laugh out of relief because apparently, it wasn’t THAT bad. Anyway, she was really worried about looking old, so I recommended the best eye cream I’ve tried and tested so far. Yes, she hasn’t been using moisturizer and eye cream.

Frankly, at her age, using moisturizer and eye cream is already a given. Add sun block to your daily face regimen as well. Those three are the secret recipe to staying young and pretty!

A present for Jehan

I was looking for a gift for my friend Jehan’s 26th birthday this February. I saw some interesting accessories with diamonds that fits her personality perfectly. Unfortunately, Jehan lives in Canada and that means I will be shipping my present to her.

Although I trust shipping companies, I don’t trust them enough to actually be able to deliver my gift with diamonds. Consequently, I think I’ll just buy her another present. I’m still hunting for one though. I did buy an accessory with diamonds for her. But I’ll be giving it to her when she comes to visit us – hopefully by April.

Driving and its Hazards

My cousin had always been a fan of motorcycles. He collected them when he had the money, and just cleaned them when he’s free from work.

But he encountered an accident yesterday. The truck just came flying out of nowhere, literally.

We looked for a motorcycle accident attorney as we ran while rushing him to the ER, and we had a hard time looking for one, they didn’t want to take the case.

As he was getting treated, it actually made me realize how much danger we’re putting ourselves in everytime we ride a vehicle. It’s like our lives are at stake.

So be careful with your driving, and be a defensive driver if you don’t want to end up like my cousin.

Don’t Take Your Health For Granted!

As I was resting after I went home from the hospital, I watched the TV. I drifted off to thinking while an auto insurance quotes ad was running, and I realized how I had been taking my health for granted.

I had to do something, I had to take care of myself better starting now, or worse things will happen. If I push myself too hard from work, I’m going to end up dead and giving everyone around me even more problems than what I am trying to solve right now.

If you’ve been taking your health for granted, start thinking about what you should do to take care of yourself now. You can’t take care of other people when you can’t take care of yourself.

Stomach Ache… again.

I went to the hospital a few days ago because I ended up puking everything I ate for two days. My dorm mates actually stared at me in pity and convinced me to go to the hospital.

So I went, and they gave me three injection shots. I was so convinced that it was food poisoning as it has already happened to me before, but it wasn’t.

I sat there waiting for the results while staring at one of the nurses use a pulse oximeter on patients.

Apparently it wasn’t.. it was just gastroentritis. Thank God I’m alright now.

Eco-Friendly!

I have seen many environment friendly tips and tricks by various companies in our country going on at the moment. It’s quite touching to the heart seeing people concerned about nature.

For example, in my old college, they set up a rule that plastic bags aren’t allowed, so everything that people buy are in paper bags instead of plastic bags. Ain’t it dandy? As long as many people cooperate and support this, THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR THE YOUNG’UNS!

There are also other companies that give out promotional bags so you could bring it to their store and put the items you wish to buy there instead of plastic bags. It’s just so awesome.

You can help in your own little ways, too. Conserve and throw garbage in the proper place are only a few of the many things you could do! Remember, little things end up being something big!
