I Love Salsa

I used to dance a lot when I was studying, and I took lessons on ballroom dance as well. However, I stopped ballroom dancing after I graduated, and even if I would like to continue the dances here, I can’t find a partner. Hubby was not keen to sacrifice his precious time to be my partner!

So, I guess I will have to get the dance videos and continue learning the dance steps at home. I prefer salsa, among all those Latin dance, and I may also try to learn more about its history and information like costumes and dance etiquette to understand the dance further. Dance steps are important, but some times, you need to understand the culture of the dance to really master it.

But then again, where can I find a partner?

My Yoga Blog

I was supposed to update my yoga blog but I was too tired and I fell asleep before completing a post! That blog of my is just for my interest. Besides, I was really EFND and with some money in my paypal, I decided to get another domain. :P

I am not saying that I’m good at yoga, I always skip class ok? But I will try my best to learn as much as I do as it’s not only a good exercise for flexibility, it’s great for the whole well being too. You can ditch that hydroxycut and start losing weight the healthier way but it will be slowly.

But don’t expect to fly or kiss your toes starting up as I can’t do that too. There is no forcing in yoga and everyone has her own progress. Just take your time but before that, go sign up with a yoga instructor ok? Don’t simply practice by yourself if you are inexperienced. You might get hurt.

A Romantic Getaway

I was chatting with my hairdresser this afternoon when I went there for my hair treatment, and she told me that she least expect I would bring my kids to Bali since it’s such as nice place just for couples. She has known me for more than 8 years, I think. But she told me that she didn’t expect me to be so homely and attached to my kids since I look trendy all the while. I guess you can never judge a book from its cover huh?

Anyway, if I would to go for a romantic getaway with hubby, we will have to wait until the kids are older. It’s not easy leaving them behind just like that, even if it will only be a few days. But one day, hubby and I will have our time to visit some exotic spots like Puerto Rico and stay in those Vacation Rentals By Owner. These rental homes or condos are strictly private, so you can really enjoy the privacy, unlike hotels or resorts. However, it’s written here that it’s children friendly, so I am thinking of dragging my kids along too. :P

I guess I will never have a romantic getaway like we used to be before we are parents huh? I am so attached to the kids!

Do You Take Care Of Your Neck?

I think it’s about time I start protecting my neck. I only use the excess moisturizer when I’m applying it on my face to put it on my neck in upward motion. But as I age, I think it’s not enough to protect my neck from wrinkles and fine lines. I have seen women with nice faces, but their necks show their age because there are lines and the skin is not firm at all.

I’m not sure if it’s too early to start using Shiseido Benefiance Concentrated Neck Contour Treatment, as it’s meant for more mature skin.

So, how do you take care of your neck?

Hiding Away From The Sun

I love sunbathing, but I won’t do it without my sunblock of SPF50 +++ and above. The reason why I’m using sunblock is that I just want to look tan, but not burnt or getting more brown spots on my face. I want to enjoy outdoor activities, but being protected from the harmful rays.

Come to think about it, I don’t have as many outdoor activities as I used to be when I was in high school. I was very active in Teens Cadet, and I would have lots of activities like marching, camping, hiking, competitions and others. I was being exposed in the sun for long hours, especially during weekends and school holidays. Being a teenager, the last thing on my mind was taking care of my skin. I had not used any facial wash until I was in university. I guess I’m one of those lucky ones who is born with great skin, all thanks to my parents’ genes. If it’s not because of them, my complexion will be worse.

So, before you get yourself occupied this weekend with your Baseball Equipment, golfing for 18 holes, or swimming in the pool, just don’t forget about taking good care of your skin. The same goes for men. There are more and more men who are willing to take care of their complexions now. However, I’m regret to say that my hubby is not being influenced by me. He still puts away all the skincare or sunblock I bought for him. That’s why I look so much younger than him.

Oregon Mortgage Refinance For Big Spender

I know, I look like a big spender. No, I should say that I am a big spender. :P

Just look at the number of skincare products I bought and I’m willing to try out. I think I have spend thousands on my face alone! Luckily I don’t have to pay for a car or a house, if not I will be very broke. Just think about it ladies, will you have an ugly face but driving a fancy car? Or will you have a pretty face without a car? Most probably, you don’t even need one because there are guys waiting to give you a ride! LOL! Just kidding ok? I’m not so sure about that.

But anyway, if you are a big spender and you still don’t want to control your spending, then you may end up in financial crisis one day. Then, maybe you will need to get Oregon mortgage refinance, if you can’t even pay for your house or you need some cash urgently. An Oregon mortgage refinance may provide you some temporary relief as you will still have to pay for the loan later.

However, if you are lucky enough, you may not even have to pay for the loan! Let’s see if you pretty face will get you someone rich ok? :P

Have Anyone Tried Celmonze Paris?

The brand name caught my attention as I saw a lot of salons using their products. I haven’t tried any products from Celmonze Paris, so I’m curious about it. But when I was looking through their website, most of the products are really mean for salon used. You can purchase them and use them at home if you want to, but most of the intensive care products or masks are really meant for salons.

But some of the products caught my attention. Firstly, it’s the range from Caviar DNA Treatment. There are more and more products with caviar extracts now and it’s effective in preventing premature again.

An exquisite gourmet delight from sea enriched with Caviar DNA, Roe extract activates cell reconstruction and boost skin’s natural suppleness, Macademia oil and Aloe strengthen skin’s immune system, promote circulation meantime retain skin moisture, ideally for weary and weak skin.

Benefits:-

    • Richly energize skin for youthful and growing complexion
    • Speed up skin repair and renewal system improving skin elasticity
    • Indulge skin in mineral rich hydration to firm and smooth, ageless skin is restored

Now, that is something I would like to try. I have always prefer a richer serum because it penetrates better into our skin, but as for the face cream, I will go for lighter formulation.

On top of that, the Placenta Shock Treatment caught my attention as well.

A fast acting synergistic skin formula enriched with freeze-dried Placenta to promote cellular growth, Milk Protein reduce roughness and micro-lines, Amniotic Fluid nourish and maintain healthy skin.

Benefits:-

    • It gives a measurable and perceptive tightening and smoothing effect
    • It boosts skin’s self defense power and prevent skin damage and moisture loss
    • Problem skin disappears as skin quickly regenerates and heals

So, who has tried these products? Let me know!!!

My Dream Car At The Moment

I change my mind very fast. Today, I may like something like crazy, but days later, I will forget about it. But in the mean time, I am in love with Nissan Murano. I asked hubby to get my one and he just chuckled, so I am not sure if it’s a yes or a no!

Anyway, I’m not good at direction. No matter how nice a car is, I might get lost in the middle of no where. Luckily my phone is equiped with GPRS and I can easily find my way now. But if your phone doesn’t have that service, you can easily get the map of Atlanta or anywhere in US or UK from Public Routes. It has the travel directions of any mode of transports of most of the cities in those two countries. So, if you have the map, you won’t be lost easily. It’s a great tool for travelers too, especially those who doesn’t like to join the tour groups.

Maybe I will get some maps from the site too, if I have plans to visit US or UK next time. But as for now, GPRS is good enough to me.

Unisex Spa at Summerset Resort

I have been asking hubby to join out the spa session with me since I have so many packages paid!!! I can’t possibly finish them all by the end of the year unless I am going every fortnight, without skipping. However, he has been giving me excuses that he is busy with his work, so a 3 hours spa is impossible. But bear in mind, he has 4 hours for golf!

So, I wonder when I can have a nice spa session with him? :P Anyway, if you are willing to try out, I found that the Veqish Spa at Summerset Resort looks really nice. I hope that we will have to try it out one day. Gee…I canceled my spa today, and I’m a bit regretted. :P

Entertaining the Guests

Have you seen the transvestite shows? I don’t have any comment on them, but I think they are great performers. My brother hired some transvestites to perform in his wedding and everyone enjoyed it a lot!

However, not every function is suitable for transvestite show. If you are uncomfortable about it, just hire the California event planners to help you out in organizing your special events including fund-raisers, fairs, wedding, annual dinners and others. Innovative Entertainment has lots of connections with the show biz industry and you might even get some superstars performing for your, if you can afford it.

So, what do you think about having Beyonce singing for you?
