On Taking More Pictures

My digital camera is my partner. I always have it with me everywhere I go thus I am always ready to capture special moments. I also like to take pictures of places we explore and the food that we ate. My favorite model is of course my daughter. I tried so hard to capture her milestones and her daily moods and activities. Because I love to take pictures of different subjects I always need an SD card with big memory. Believe me, when you are an addict blogger, you want to capture anything and everything that you can see and share it to your readers. Also, if you are a mother, you always like to take pictures of your kids.

Keeping Feet Healthy

Okay, I know that at some point, girls like me, who likes to wear high heels will suffer the consequences. Thankfully there is a shoes that is invented to promote a healthy step. Have you heard about mbt shoes? These shoes can help keep your feet healthy. Unlike most regular shoes which can harm your feet and body, MBT shoes can counteract those ills.

MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology. In short, these are shoes that were designed to simulate walking around barefoot in the sand. These shoes are meant to be worn on a daily basis in order to allow the body to move in a more natural way. These shows promotes better circulation, more energy, more muscle tone, reduce pain and better posture.

So, keep your feet healthy with MBT shoes.

Outdoor Lighting

A reliable outdoor lighting is essential in every household. I think that at night when your outdoor lighting is lit, people (whether neighbors or passer by) will know that the house is not empty or that there is people inside the house. I think that a lighted outdoor lighting will make any burglars think twice of breaking and entering. Other reason why outdoor lighting is essential is it is useful in guiding you the path and thus it avoids you from bumping into something.

During daytime, outdoor lighting can be a great decoration especially if you choose to use a very stylish outdoor lighting.

Online Schooling

Now that I already became a US Citizen, we are trying to do one thing at a time. We hope that after we are all done with all my papers we can now check for Online Nursing Schools. Part of our plans is for me to go back to school and take up Nursing. Given the economic situation that we are facing today, we believe that getting a degree in Nursing will make it easier for me to find a stable job.

We consider online schooling because of my daughter. I believe that if I pursue a degree I can make it possible through online school. It will be easier to go to online school rather than the traditional one because it means I still have time to see my daughter and doing school things at the same time.

Hopefully, we can materialize our plans and I can start schooling next year.

I went to Victoria secret and bought me some lotion and one body mist. It will take time for me to use these all but I bought this many because the price for all of these is just $30! If I will buy only 3 pcs it will cost me $24.99 so I might as well buy 6 pcs!

My main reason of going to VS is to buy some undies but they don't have what I am looking for so I ended up buying the products below.

Tattoo

Every once in a while, it makes me want to get myself a tattoo. Tattoos have become an important form of personal expression through art. It has become a very common style and fashion for both men and women. In recent years, tattoo designs have come to be more and more diversified being able to suit a variety of tastes and needs.

I admit that I really appreciate tattoo designs but not to its extent. I don't like when a person is over-tattooed.

I think that if I ever decide to get a tattoo, it will be a butterfly. Butterfly tattoo are a classic choice for many women due to their wide array of meanings or simply because of their irresistible cuteness.

I like to have one of this...

White Heads

Whiteheads look like white dirt in your face. It is amongst the most common skin problems with people of all ages and sexes. Getting rid of these nasty and unaesthetic blemishes is not an easy job, since they are deep underneath the skin.

Prevent whiteheads and maintain a beautiful, flawless complexion by doing the following:

• Purchase a good facial cleanser that is especially formulated to treat black heads and white heads.
• Use the facial cleanser regularly
• Use a facial scrub and rinse your face with lukewarm water
• Wash your face twice a day and keep it lightly moisturized
• Deep clean your face by steaming
• Keep your hair and pillow clean to avoid the dirt getting to your face
• Drink a lot of water to flush away the toxins

New Haircut

I had a haircut yesterday. I seldom go to a parlor because for me it is not a necessity. Besides, I always think that it is kinda expensive to have your hair cut here.

Beautiful Nails

I used to have beautiful nails. Most of my friends would describe my nails as the nails of the rich. Well, before I got married, I was not domesticated. I was not used to doing household chores. I have been an office girl since I was 18. I handled computer, pen and paper and telephones all day. Basically, I can grow my nails as long as I want because of not scared of breaking them doing household chores and other hard labor. I have somebody to do all those for me... including laundry, cleaning and cooking thus I was able to maintain my beautiful nails.

Here are some tips for a beautiful nail:

• No picking and biting of nails
• Trim and file your nails regularly
• Use rubber gloves in doing laundry or when your hands will be exposed to cleaning agents
• Moisturize your hands and nails every after hand washing
• Consider moisturizing your nails before sleeping
• Eat a balanced diet and eat foods high in vitamins A, B, D, biotin and calcium.
  

Sunscreen Lotion

The heat can really give you a sunburn. In today's weather where it averages close to 100F it is important to wear sunscreen protection.

I use this sunscreen lotion for my daughter because it has 70SPF. The higher the SPF the better. At the time we went to look for a sunscreen lotion, this has the highest SPF that we can find.

What brand of sunscreen do you use? Is it effective?

Swimsuit and Cover Up

I bought a swimsuit and cover up for my little girl. A cover up works really good for her especially after long hours of swimming. Although it is hot these days, she still shivers after long hours of swimming. The cover up keeps her warm after she gets out of the water and before we can change her to a warm clothes.
