House Maker

The postman of our neighbour tends to send the mails wrongly. There are not a lot of houses along street, but he still makes mistake of sending the wrong mails to the wrong houses as frequent as twice a month! Most of the time, I asked my maid to return the mails to him and let him know that he did a mistake already.

I think the main reason due to this is they didn’t organize the mails correctly before sending them out. Besides, our house marker was not being placed by the mailbox but on the opposite fencing wall.

So, maybe we should hang up address plague like this at the mailbox huh?

To Avoid Cellulite

Portable Water Filters

I started having some cellulite after my first delivery. I was shocked when I saw that orange peel skin cellulite on my thighs! But after confinement, it slowly disappear and less noticeable.

Cellulite often forms in postnatal women and those who take birth control pills because the body’s waste system can’t get rid of the enormous flow of estrogen in the body. Cellulite can develop after a traumatic injury, where the circulatory system has been disturbed. A sedentary lifestyle leads to a hardening of the connective tissue, causing a dimpling of the skin.

There are many causes of cellulite; insufficient water intake is a main one. Water helps the waste system operate, flushing toxins from your body. Drink seven glasses of water a day. Poor eating habits (alcohol, caffeine, spicy foods) contribute to the formation of cellulite because the toxins they produce get trapped in the fatty tissue. All saturated fats help build cellulite. These fats block the arteries and get trapped in the tissue as well, preventing sufficient waste and toxin elimination. Smoking is not only bad for the skin and lungs, but it weakens the skin by causing constriction of capillaries. It further damages the connective tissue that causes the dimpling effect of cellulite, too.

So, to avoid or prevent it from getting worse, get Portable Water Filters and start drinking lots of water now! Other than that, get active and exercise. Besides that, if you have the money to spare, you can invest in some anti-cellulite cream.

Some of the ingredients used in these products include Algae extract (which can break down fat and increase your metabolism), Green tea extracts (will back up the algae extract and increase the rate at which your fat is broken down to form smooth tissue) and Retinol A (a compound that is a derivative of Vitamin A) and targets your skin and connective tissues directly to condition and strengthen. Retinol A has a rejuvenating effect on your skin, and will decrease your cellulite while preventing it from becoming worse over time.

After prolong usage, hopefully we will get rid of cellulite and start showing off our thighs! :)

Nice Houses

 I like pretty things, and houses are included as well. When I am free, I like to check out the show houses of the newly launched housing project and see how they decorate the houses interiorly.

Hubby and I just can’t find the house that we like here as we prefer to have spacious area for the kids to play outdoor, and hubby wants to practice his swing. I like those houses featured on Florida rental vacation. If I have a big house like those, with many bedrooms, spacious outdoor, and a swimming pool, that will be perfect!

Colours for My Home

 If I have a house, I would like to paint the living room with warm colours. I like it to be red or maroon, but I don’t think it will come easy when I am shopping for furnitures, so these colours will look nice too…

However, I will prefer to have cold colours for the bedroom to sooth me to dreamland better. Colours like blue, green and purple will look good, but I need to mix and match carefully, so the room turn out to be ugly!

However, I am not good at painting, if not, I would have changed the colour of my room now! So, I better hire some professional House Painters to do the job for me before I turn my room into a home improvement disaster!
