Making Difference

Had you ever tried to help others specially to the needy? When you begin helping others in any means and you feel that you are enjoying it and satisfied by it, it means that you also have a kind and soft heart to others. When you start doing it, it keeps you going and going because of the happiness and lightness of everyone's face that you reached. You have no idea how satisfying the feeling inside every time you helped and provide even a little needs of others.
Helping others means "loving others". If you choose to give, never expect it to be given back to you. Give and help with open heart and in willingness. Remember if you share your blessings, you'll be more blessed, that's proven and tested. Giving help to others means giving hope to them too because you are helping them to stand firm and boosting them to start their steps again to attain their goal " a better life and a better living".
Every one has a chance, only if we give them also. Sometimes we need to stand and shout for them. Though anyone who is not helping himself will have nothing to gain, even just a moral support is a great help. Convincing power is needed for him to move and do something so that in return he will get a better change.
Why not try doing something different? like the things that you are not doing in common. Try helping even just a little, for them it's the best help that they have got. Forever it is engraved in their minds that once, someone reach a hand for them and gave them air to breath on.....

Facial treatments

Simply known as facials, these classic treatments for women are another one of modern living's wonderful luxuries. You can never go wrong with the feeling of someone massaging your face with the best botanical products while your eyes are closed and you're in a dreamland.
Some of the most popular facials found in leading spas today are Aromatherapy facials and Purifying facials. Aromatherapy oils improve skin tone and reduce tension, thus erasing worry lines that in the long run can cause wrinkles. Facial massages also stimulate blood circulation and bring about cell renewal, which turn enhances skin glow and appearance. Purifying facials target skin and requires deep cleansing and removal of impurities. These are for women who also want to achieve a lighter, fairer complexion.
So why not dedicate one day out of a busy month to undergo one spa treatment and get pampered. It will benefit your mind and body.

Foot Spas

Our feet. Probably the most neglected part of our bodies. We might get pedicures once in a while but do we take time to take regular care of our feet? Used to exercise, walk and practically do anything under the sun, our feet are screaming for us to give them some attention and essential, tender loving care. The truth is when your feet feel good,you feel great. So this is where the magic of the Foot Spa comes in, arguably my favorite of all spa treatments. Foot Spas are designed to pamper and treat, leaving feet cleaned with a relaxing soak, well-scrubbed, with some foot exfoliation and properly moisturized. These result in feet that are soft and unbelievably smooth. What's more, they don't take much time and are relatively inexpensive compared to other treatments, but they are just as relaxing and rejuvenating.

Detoxifying Body Wraps

A body wrap is a treatment where the body is thickly spread with a body mask usually made of algae, seaweed, mud, clay, lotion or cream,(depending on the desired result) then wrapped for 20 minutes to keep warm before being rinsed off.
The most popular body wraps use algae, seaweed, mud and clay, also known as detoxifying treatments or "detox wraps" which help rid the body of toxins through metabolic stimulation. Mud wraps are ingenious detoxifying and slimming treatments which reduce fluid retention and flush out toxins. Since mud is derived from the most natural ingredients, its organics and minerals which are high in potency stimulate blood circulation for optimum balance.
Slimming effects improve skin tone appearance and reduce cellulite. Seaweed and marine algae wraps are known for their deep cleansing properties.
By stimulating the skin's metabolism and absorbing elements, toxins are eliminated and the results are complete detoxification.

Body Scrub

Since exfoliation is the key to achieving bright, smooth, baby-like skin, it is no surprise that body scrubs are some of the most sought-after spa treatments available today. Two of the most popular scrubs are the Salt Body Scrub and Honey Body Scrub.
A Salt Scrub experience consists of a full-body special treatment with natural refined sea salts and essential or aromatherapy oils. These ingredients are often blended for the ultimate body exfoliation, getting rid of rough spots, livening up skin tone and resulting in that skin glow most women long for.
Scrubbing is usually conducted in a circular motion-relieving tension, increasing energy flow and improving circulation.
The Honey Body Scrub begins with a similar exfoliation to slough off dead skin cells and is often followed up with a unique hydration process using different mixtures of all-natural ingredients such as pure honey, milk, sesame seeds and pure essential oil. Honey is known for its antiseptic, antioxidant and anti-aging benefits.

The Body Massage

A body massage is the treatment and practice of soft tissue manipulation with physical, functional, medical, therapeutic, and even psychological purposes and goals. It usually involves acting on and manipulating the patients body with pressure, tension, motion, or vibration manually or with mechanical aids. Target tissues include muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints, or other connective tissues. Massage can be applied with the hands, fingers, elbows, forearm, and feet. When done properly, body circulation improves and tension lessens, relieving stress and bodily aches or discomfort.
Some of the most popular types of body massages are the Swedish massage, the Thai massage, and the Hot Stone massage. The Swedish massage is a classic full body massage that simultaneously relaxes and stimulates. The Thai massage is an ancient art. It consist of a yoga-like body therapy for healing and health transformation using passive stretching and gentle pressure to help release blocked energy and tension. The Hot Stone massage is an exotic treatment involving the placement of heated, polished lava or volcanic rocks on pressure points and chakra points as well as the application of heated stones with oil onto the skin. Known to be incredibly relaxing and soothing, it is the massage most often advertised in billboards and brochures.

Enjoy your Life while you can

When is the last time you pamper yourself? Did you ever try to do somethings that you love to do but others don't? Did you ever treat yourself for your own pleasure? Well if you do, then i say, you are enjoying and living your life almost perfect.
But wait! How about the feelings? Are you happy with those achievements and experiences that you had? As for me, enjoying life is not always what we had, we went, we bought, and we did. Enjoying life simply is to be happy, to be loved and not hurting others. For me, I always prefer to be nice even those who are rude to me not because they are not nice but because I am nice. Why? because i chooses to have a light conscience and no burden. It doesn't matter if someone's rude to me as long as I'm not doing anything wrong against them.
If you knew that you are not harming others, You will feel the beauty of life indeed. You are free of any doubts and fears that someone might harm you in return. How to avail this? Do your best to love your fellowmen in any case. Don't condemn. Be open minded and learn to understand any situation.
No fights, no fears, no anger, only peace in your heart. That`s how you must enjoy your life. In return, you will never feel regrets about it.
We should always live our life to the fullest because we only have one. Don't make any decisions that later makes you miserable. Remember, a mistake that has only done with a minute or even a second, can make you suffer for a long time or even worst, lifetime...

12-18 POINTS
Gimme Gimme Gimme
Of course women go after what they want- but you do it at the expense of others. The expert reckon you`re trying to fill a hole in your soul.Grabbers operate through fear of not having enough money, enough love or enough attention. The solution? Start giving. Try volunteer work to break your grabby habit. It might be uncomfortable at first, but after a few stabs, it`ll start to feel pretty good.


8-11 POINTS
You Only Get What You Give
Lucky you. You understand the joy of giving, but you do it for the right reasons. You don`t feel obliged to give and you only do it when when you want to. You probably grew up in a home with an exchange of, and respect for one another`s ideas. Think of your flexibility as a gift that has earned you, true friend and healthy relationships.

7 OR FEWER POINTS
I`d Give Everything I Own
Generous to a fault, that`s you-probably because you didn`t receive enough attention as a child. Maybe your parents made you feel you had to be perfect to get their approval. Now, you feel you have to buy love. Escape mega-magnanimity by trying not to be a pushover. Once you stop short-changing yourself, you won`t lose your friends. In fact, you`ll gain their respect and see how valuable you are.

"Silence" doesn`t always means "Yes"

Sometimes, when someone`s arguing with you and asked or accused you with something and you just keep quiet, they automatically conclude that the thing they are accusing is true. But most of the time, it is misinterpret.
Being quiet has lots of reasons. We must remove in our minds that silence means yes. There are some people who just keep quiet for their own peace. Some only want to be quiet to stop the argument and to refrain it to a bigger problem. Some just don`t want to be involved and some, because of fear. Yes, because of fear. Although there are so many reasons why they remain silent, most of the time, the main reason is fear. Fear for them to be interrogated further, fear for their lives, fear for them to speak for the truth because of some circumstances like:for the safeness of their love ones, for involving powerful persons, for their own lives and for their freedom.
Though telling the truth is right, are you aware that telling the truth is much harder and tougher than lying? Well, most of the time, it is, specially when you are nice enough and thinking for the expenses of others, nice enough that you don`t want to hurt anyone despite of the truth that you must say. But truth must prevail specially when lots are involved and they need someone to speak up for their lives to get back.

Write your thoughts, express your mind

Have you ever encountered so many things in your mind but can`t bring it out? Why not try writing one of your own stories? Sometimes it helps a lot when you write what you feel. It releases the burden and helps you relax.

When you starts writing, all the ideas that stuck on your head will flow smoothly and you`ll be surprized because you will have a flying color outcome. It also helps you remove all the stress that is bothering you all the while.
Make yourself comfortable when writing. Stay in a cool, relaxing, and silent place for you to concentrate. Peaceful place helps you a lot in writing because you can easily think and can easily imply the feeling that you want to bring out. Write what you feel, what you want, your fantasies, goals and achievement. After that you will be grateful for what you have.

an elegant investment

Precious accessories are not only stylish but increase their value in the long run



What you buy can actually be a reflection on how you value yourself. Some indulge in clothes, some in shoes. Buying handbags can be addicting for others, for men, we`re talking about watches, shades, cars, you name it. For some women, it`s jewelry-beautiful, sparkling, sometimes mouthwatering jewelry.
It`s really a good investment,unlike with other things, branded bags for example, they depreciate. But jewelry, it has potential to appreciate in value. and one more thing, a lady should really invest in jewelries because jewels simply give more elegance.

CORY: an icon, a hero, and a mother

Till these days, Filipinos are still mourning for the death of the late President Corazon "Cory" Aquino. Knowing that she contributed a lot in our country, she did more than that. She brought back the freedom of our land. She fought for the rights of her people without using violence but instead, faith and belief for God. She served her country to her last breath.
I never knew someone who`s in the position but didn`t take advantage to any advantage that she might get. In other terms, "uncorrupt". Yes, she got all the powers but never indeed used in a wrong way. She was a very strong, brilliant and saluted woman who keeps her feet on the ground and always thinks of others. An unselfish creation of God who serves well and serves as a mother to anyone.
I have a four year old daughter who`s watching with my mother-in-law during the wake of the late President and i was so surprised when i saw her crying so I asked her why? "Why are you crying baby? something`s wrong?" she answered me back " I`m crying mom because I`m sad", I asked again why she`s sad and would you believe what she answered?"I`m sad because Cory is dead, she`s a good person", and she cried out loud. Even a four year old girl is aware of how good and important that person to everyone.
She was one of a kind. Despite of the pain and the suffering that she`d encountered, still, she`s much more interested and concerned to the other people than herself. She never complains, demands and ask for anything indulging her, instead, worried and cared for the others. Now, how can we recover from the lost of a hero, a mother, and a friend? How can we go on without our mother of freedom? When will we feel the ungreedy service of a leader again but instead the tenderness and sincereness of it? I just hope we will find a leader as simple and devoted as her. And I pray that It will be soon. That`s what we badly need now.

Meningitis-the fact

There are two types of meningitis, viral and bacterial. And one of the rare form of bacterial meningitis is meningococcal septicaemia. It`s a life threatening condition which needs urgent treatment because the results can be devastating. One in seven survivors is left with a disability such as deafness, and for one in 10 cases the disease is fatal. Early detection could make all the difference and reduce the death rate by 50 percent.
Viral meningitis is much more common and can often go unreported, as the symptoms can be similar to flu. It is not usually life-threatening, but any suspected meningitis cases should be taken extremely seriously and it can take over six months to make a full recovery. If you develop three or more of the following symptoms, see your GP immediately.

* lack of energy or general flu-like symptoms
* high temperature
* severe headaches
* sensitivity to lights
* vomiting
* Irritability
* drowsiness
* joint pains
* neck stiffness

In cases if septicaemia, there may also be diarrhea, stomach pains and a sore throat. With meningococcal septicaemia, a rash can appear anywhere on the body, although this doesn`t always occur. This rash looks like tiny pinpricks of blood-like bruising under the skin. If the rush doesn`t turn whitish when you press a glass across it, seek medical advice immediately.

Drink-right plan

Yes you can party all night without losing your get up and go! All you need to do is follow these eight simple steps...



Take it slow
Does knowing what alcohol does to your body make that killer hangover any better? Probably not. But it`s worth knowing this: alcohol is a mild anaesthetic, once it arrives to your stomach, it`s picked up by the bloodstream, which carries it straight to the brain. The first sensation upon its arrival are a feeling of lightheadedness and euphoria-that delicious belief that you`re really witty. At this stage, you probably are. so stay there: the average person can metabolise around one drink per hour(this is the pace of the body can break down and cope with alcohol) and if this intake is not greatly exceeded, the euphoria continues. However, if you have more than one drink per hour, the brain is more severely affected: motor faculties are disrupted(that charming lurch), speech becomes slurred, muscle control is lessened, and you begin to look foolish.
The aim is to drink just enough to feel mildly euphoric, with slightly relaxed inhibitions and a cheery outlook. but that euphoria can dispel your good intentions, so exercise willpower.


















Say no to sweet drinks
This is the classic mistake of the novice drinker. All those trendy alcopops can mask the high alcohol content and make you drunk quicker. an overdose of sugar also enhances the negative effects of alcohol, so you`re more sick the next day.






















Drink quality brands only
The extra cash you spend on a premium cocktail is worth it. The additives in cheaper brands are full of toxins and can trigger asthma, migraines and nausea. So steer clear of the mystery punch.





















Say yes to champers
Good champagne is fine, unless you switch to something else after a few glasses. If you move onto another drink, have white wine and nothing else.


















Think light
The yeast, sugar, flavourings and colourings in alcohol are the main contributors to furry tongue syndrome. That`s why you should drink forms of alcohol closest to the purse version-those that are lighter in colour. Choose white wine instead of red, vodka instead of whisky, lager over cider.






















Say no to smoke

Don`t smoke-you`ll drink more...or is it the other way around? Either way, forget the fags: your breath will stink and, as your body will be busy eliminating alcohol, don`t overtax it with nicotine too.






















"Coming up for coffee"

If you invite him in for the proverbial cup of coffee, don`t waste time actually making it, start kissing instead-coffee is a stimulant and, like alcohol, will disrupt your sleep.





















H2-Oh!
Always keep a bottle of water by your bed no matter how hot the action is, you will stay cool and fresh.

Cooking For Diabetics

The number of people who are victims of diabetes is growing rapidly, and learning to eat well is an important part of managing the disease. Eating the right foods can help to keep your blood sugar at a proper level, which is the key to controlling diabetes and avoiding diabetes-related problems. African-Americans experience a higher incidence of the disease, doctors say, and many don`t know that they have the chronic condition in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin, the hormone that`s needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy.
Although it`s not known what causes diabetes, and there is no cure, it can be controlled, medical experts say, with diet, exercise and, when necessary, medication. When it comes to cooking for diabetics, there are a number of tasty, desirable dishes that contribute to a well-balanced diet. The recipes are a collection of easy-to-make, diabetic-friendly delicacies.

The Cellular Ecosystem: Guarantee Of The Skin`s Youth

Loreal Derma Genesis Day Cream




Every little part of you is important. Cells are the smallest living entries that make up our body tissues. Each cell is an independent system that multiplies, purifies, stores energy, renews and sometimes even destroy itself.
However, cells are dependent on the quality of its environment, also known as its biotope. Cellular activity, especially cellular renewal, is greatly enhanced when the cell is placed in the ideal environment.
Skin`s source of youth lies in the creation of new cells. With time, the skin produces fewer and fewer cells, leaving the skin looking dull and old. As early as 25, the first signs of ageing appear like brown spots, eye bags and fine lines. These signs persist and develop as you continue to grow old.
For the first time*, a skincare product combining a unique association of brand-new active ingredients, which target the cellular ecosystem** in order to favor the creation of new skin cells...

Lurve Lips

Bright red lips are bold and super-sexy, full stop. If you`re a virgin, start by using glossy, sheer reds and work your way up to sock-it-to-him reds.

Try-it-tonight tips...
* For the perfect lip line, use a neutral lip crayon, but don`t stop there-use it fill in as well. Then add your lipstick on top. This tactic means, are your lip colour wears off, you`re not left with a hard outline.
* When you`re using really bright red, don`t make the cupid`s bow too perfect-it can be a touch too Mini Mouse. Knock the peaks of your upper lip down a bit for a more rounded, luscious result.
* If you have thin lips, red lipstick can make them look thinner. The solution is to apply it, blot it and then add lots of gloss on top, making sure you add the most shine to the centre of the bottom lip.
* Don`t match nail colour to lipstick-it looks tacky. Instead, go for a darker shade(use a wine colour as a base with a bright red on top).

Eye Love Hues

When it comes to eyeshadow, nude is sexy."It looks clean and confident and lets the lipstick zing out,"says make-up guru Daniel Sandler. Fletcher agrees:"Emphasis could come from a streak of eyeliner and lashings of mascara."

* Take blusher over the brow bone as well applying it to the cheeks to give the overall look balance.

Brush it lightly over the top and extend it beyond your first flush- it has the effect of softening edges for a sexy blur.



* If you prefer a sheeny effect on your brow bones, use a cream-to-powder stick that you can blend easily, such as Nars The Multiple in Copacabana.

Sex Bomb Skin

Modern Hollywood glamour starts with getting the base right. The stunning translucence of a winter-pale complexion or fine-textured skin is killed if you overdo the base or use a heavy foundation.

What Happens When Bogeyman Is No Longer A Child`s Biggest Fear?

* Maintain family tradition like holidays and birthdays, even if you don`t feel like celebrating. Try not to become too preoccupied with your own concerns and anxieties.
* So that you can be there for your children, it is important to take care of yourself, both emotionally and physically. Be aware of your own stress level, and if you are feeling overwhelmed, seek support from family, friends, spiritual counselors and, if necessary, a health professional.
* Remember that children are very perceptive of adult`s behavior and emotional responses. Children see and understand more than you may think and are very sensitive to your fears and anxieties. Be mindful of what you say and do, and if possible, minimize children`s exposure to conversation truly meant for adults. While it`s okay to admit your concerns in front of the children, be sure to also emphasize your ability to cope.
* It`s not always possible to accurately gauge when children are feeling scared or worried. Be alert to clues such as your child`s expressions, play activities or angry outbursts which may signal a child`s unspoken need to talk. Watch the dramatic behavior changes. While it is normal for a child to express feelings of anger, fear o sadness after a crisis, if these feelings persist or get worse over time, there`s no shame in contacting a mental health professional.
* Monitor your child`s exposure to news and media coverage. If children see this information on television, watch it with them and talk to them afterwards to clarify any misunderstanding.
* Reassure your children. Remind them that they are precious to you and that you are taking every precaution to keep them safe.

Beauty Forecast

"Guys and Dolls"
Borrow a little something from the boys with a masculine or slicked-back hairdo, but combine it with vampy red lips. Keep the rest of your face soft and sweet, and you`ll be surprized at how sexy you can look. Think Agyness Deyn or Keira knightly when looking for hair inspiration, and pair it with Gwen stefani or Dita von Teese`s signature scarlet pout.




"Sound The Alarm"
The tousled waves, the sultry eyes: everything about this is soft, yet extremely appealing. This just-go-out-of-bed look is great for romantic dates with your main squeeze. Channel Kim Basinger in 9 1/2 weeks, or copy Kate Hudson`s relaxed curls and watch as all eyes focus on you.




"Almond Famous"
Take a bit of 60`s(without too much mod flavor) and throw a little rocker attitude. The result? A kohl-lined, pink-cheeked doll with a rebellious streak. This is how Amy Winehouse would look of she cut her beehive in half and tried this eyes instead of her signature thickly-lined peepers. The result would be pretty not parody.

Teach Kids How to Handle Money

Give Allowance To Your Child:
Giving some money as allowance to your child is the first important step in teaching him about money. For how could he possibly learn to spend wisely when he has nothing to spend in the first place? Thus, allowance is a tool for the kid. The amount may vary but the idea remains the same; give some money to the child so he could learn how to spend.
Bring The Kids Along When Buying Groceries:
Bring the kids when doing the grocery so they can have a hands-on experience on the prices of commodities. The experience can have a sobering effect on them, and can make them money smart, especially if they are involved in the making of family budget.
Pay Them For Completing a Task:
You hire a utility man to paint your fence. Why not let your kids do the job and pay them instead? Pay your teens for completing certain tasks. In a way, they will learn hard work and the value of money. But bear in mind that kids should never be paid for sharing household chores like cleaning the toilet, or washing the dishes.
Teach Them How To Use Their Money;
Now that the kids have money, the next step is to instill in their young mind how the money should be spent. No, don`t give them a long list of what to buy or what not to buy. That decision should come from them and you should leave it at that.
Teach Kids Not To Work For Money, But Instead, To Work With Money:
In other words, teach kids to become entrepreneurs. Encourage them to be creative and make things they can sell and make profit. Encourage them to invest their savings in little ventures that will make their money grow. Painting, cross-stitching, or baking cookies are just a few ventures that will challenge children`s creativity and bring out the entrepreneur in them. to further encourage children, talk uncles and aunties into buying the kids` products.
Involve Your Kids In Your own Budgeting And Spending:
The parents of four kids teach money skills to their children by involving them in the making of a family budget. they all sit around a table with the week`s money on it. The parents decide how much should be spent on food, clothing, gasoline, etc and then allocated the money for it. The children learn firsthand where the money goes and how much is left, if there is any, after all expenses had been taken care of.
Encourage Kids To Share Some Part Of Their Money:
The way to double your money is to give, following the biblical mandate, that whatever you give will come back to you a hundredfold. make sure that you instill in their young mind the willingness to share their money to the needy. Encourage them to donate some of their allowance to the poor or to charitable institutions. The best way to do this is, of course, by your own example. Let them see you donating goods, money or services to the impoverished neighbors and children will immediately catch on with the idea without much prodding on your part.

How To Love Your Body

Or are you a modern-day martyr, stretching yourself paper-thin for others while your very own soul seems to be slipping into oblivion?
Before you answer, consider this reality check: When your body talks, what does it say? Are your eyes puffy and tired? Do your feet hurt? Are you still complaining about lingering "baby fat"although your "baby" now holds a valid driver`s license? Do you avoid the doctor`s office by any means necessary? If you`ve answered yes to any of these questions, chances are you`ve been so inundated with responsibilities that you`ve neglected caring for yourself. But don`t fret: it`s never too late to start loving your body from the inside out.
