It’s my birthday and I am so excited. I woke especially early today and checked my emails and phone messages. A lot of people had also woken up early to wish me a happy birthday. I feel so loved.

After showering, I got ready for work. I chose to wear a bright red dress today since my mood calls for it. I fixed myself a quick breakfast of fresh orange juice and oatmeal. Not really birthday food but hey, it’s healthy.

After work, my friends and I went to have dinner at our favourite restaurant. We were having a lot of fun. The food was great and the drinks were free-flowing. I was really having a good time albeit a bit bothered.

I was waiting all day for Greg, my boyfriend, to call me. He is currently in Peru doing some research work. It’s almost ten at night and I haven’t gotten a word from him.
I arrived home at around midnight and noticed that my bedroom door was open. I noticed a candle was lit and went inside the room. It was Greg sprawled in my bed, fast asleep. There was a gift box in his hand, which I opened. Inside were two silver charm bracelets.

I have never been ashamed of my grandmother ever working as a seamstress. I would recall when I was young that she would always show me the right way to stitch clothes. I thought it was the most boring lessons that I had but I did absorb some of her skills. I can still stitch up pillow cases or even repair my clothes when they get ripped. Believe me or not, but I still use one of our antique Singer sewing machines and it still does a great job of doing these. My mother has already sold our other sewing machines but I could not let go of this one. I would always remember my grandma when I see this and just keep a maintenance check up on this. Good thing, that this is really a good brand that there are no damages to its appearance that it still looks new.

When the Zune Mp3 player was introduced into the market, it kicked off some dust. With as much as five colors to choose from depending on the model, new features not found on competitors, and a memory ranging from 4 to 120 G, it was not really surprising that mp3 enthusiasts sat up and took notice. Imagine having 30,000 songs, 25,000 pictures, and 375 hours of video right in the palm of your hands. That is what Zune 120 gives you. But of course, if you think you won’t have time to listen to 30,000 songs anyway, you can always opt for the smallest sibling that features a 4G memory. This is big enough for 1,000 songs.

The best way to get the best out of your Zune mp3 is to purchase a few accessories. One is the Kicker ZK500 digital stereo system. This is a docking system for your Zune that provides you with car stereo-like sound with its tweeters, woofers, and subwoofers. And you can take this anywhere you want to. If you’d rather listen to your music alone, you will need Zune Premium Headphones. These provide excellent sound and bass response. You may also want the Zune Home A/V Pack. This connects your player with your home stereo system.

With these Zune mp3 accessories for sale your listening experience will definitely reach greater heights.

Dying for a facial makeover? Start by improving your makeup techniques. A carefully and correctly applied makeup can change and improve one’s appearance instantly.

For a new you, try these valuable makeup tips:

1. No matter how much makeup you apply, nothing beats a healthy, rosy skin free from pimples or acne. Make it a habit to clean the face using a gentle cleanser and toner before and after putting on makeup. Improve skin’s complexion and reduce dark spots by applying sunblock before applying moisturizer. If you can find a suitable moisturizer with sunblock, it would be better for added protection.

2. For an added glow, don’t just apply blush on the apple of your cheeks. Brush some blush on the tip of your nose and the center of your chin as well. This will give you a bit of color without overdoing it.

3. Eye trick to remember: Always apply a light eyeshadow base on your eyelid first. Then take a darker shade of the same color and apply in on the crease of your lids and out. Blend it really well. Apply some mascara to complete your look. If you wish, you can even apply some fake eyelashes.

I maybe an adult but I still watch a lot of cartoons and animated movies. Growing up, I would pester my parents to rent videos of Mickey Mouse, Tom and Jerry and Bugs Bunny. I would sit in front of the TV until my parents would scold me or until my eyes are sore.

I love Disney’s Finding Nemo. It’s a story about a father and son clownfishes. Their bond is somewhat strained because of Marlin’s, the father, over protectiveness to his son, Nemo. Nemo was then captured by divers and his dad went into great lengths like swimming with sharks and riding a whale just to save him. This movie is so touching that it moves me to tears everytime I watch it.

My second love would have to be the classic Disney Princess story of Beauty and the Beast. Belle is a country girl who was held prisoner by a prince turned into a Beast. The castle in which the Beast lives in is full of enchanted objects like talking teacups, candleholders and clocks. It turns out that the Beast was cursed by a fairy and the spell could only be reversed when someone falls in love with him before the last petal of the enchanted rose falls off. Or else, he would be a beast forever.

How about you? What’s your favourite animated movie?

I’ve always prided myself as a versatile and spontaneous person but there are some things that just can’t be erased from my daily routine. These are my top 3:

1. I couldn’t start my day without turning on my laptop. Whether checking my emails, browsing websites and updating my blogs and social pages, this is what I often do as soon as I wake up.

2. My mobile phone is attached to my hip wherever I go. I could never leave home without it. It’s like walking around naked. With my cellular phone, I can constantly update my family about my whereabouts and can easily call them when I need help or just to chat. It also contains a lot of helpful reminders like my appointments and the likes.

3. There isn’t a single day that I couldn’t remember that I didn’t listen to music. I always make sure that I spend some time listening to some of my favourite tunes. I usually spend at least an hour listening to hip-hop, R n B, jazz, and techo/house tracks.

These are my top three and I just wouldn’t function even if I haven’t done just one of them. It’s a part of my life and of me.

Many people love to eat ice cream. Ice creams are cold, sweet and creamy. They are so delicious that adults and children alike love to eat them in various flavours like vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and so much more.

This yummy dessert is best enjoyed on a hot summer day with friends and family. Ice cream can be bought at grocery stores, delis, cafes and anywhere that there is a demand. But wouldn’t it be great to just open your refrigerator and enjoy the treat immediately? Well, you actually can if you stock your freezer with store bought ice cream. Is there a way to enjoy your favourite ice cream without constantly going to the store?

I suggest that you make homemade ice cream. This type of ice cream is much healthier and natural than store bought ones because you control the ingredients that you will put in. In making your own ice cream, you just use a conventional ice cream maker and add in your preferred flavourings and ingredients. If you want to make your treat fruitier, you can add an assortment of your favourite fruits. To reduce the calories of your homemade ice cream, you can lessen the cream or use a lighter one. For added fun and taste, you can add crushed peanuts, cookies, marshmallows for toppings.

Heavenly Homemade ice creams are not just for daily consumption but you can offer them to friends and relatives as well during special gatherings like a birthday party, picnic or barbeque.

Cooking has been done since fire was invented. Cooking can be done in numerous forms. There is baking, roasting, steaming, grilling, frying and so much more.

Cooking gives out the different delicious tastes of food. Let’s take for example the chicken. We all know raw chicken isn’t good to eat and it can give us diseases too. Raw chicken can be cooked by frying. Fried chicken is yummy. But when we try other cooking techniques with the meat, will it taste the same? Of course not. Roasting or grilling chicken tastes different from fried chicken but equally delicious as well. Tastes vary when different cooking techniques are used because each uses a different assortment of ingredients and cooking equipment.

I enjoy cooking a lot. I have numerous cookbooks that I follow when I want to cook something new. I also tend to experiment a lot and use new ingredients and cooking techniques. I love eating Chinese and Indian dishes. Dumplings and Curry! Yum! Who doesn’t love Italian food? Pastas are heavenly! I am currently learning to master Thai dishes and my Pad Thai are to die for.

If you enjoy eating, you would definitely enjoy cooking too. It is a wonderful feeling to make a delicious meal and eat it too.

Millions of people are suffering from cellulites. Young, old, skinny, fat, short, tall, model, celebrities, athletes or just regular people: Cellulites can affect anyone.

Cellulites are these dimply, orange peel like texture that appear on the skin. It can usually be found on the thighs, buttocks and abdomen. There are no exact cures for cellulites. However, there are numerous ways of reducing their appearance and build up. You can either undergo liposuction, endermologie and lipodissolve among others.

These surgery procedures can be painful and are really expensive. Also, they require numerous sessions. If you would like to save money and reduce cellulites, you can always use coffee as treatment.

Yes, coffee can reduce cellulite appearance as effectively as cosmetic surgery and it won’t cost you that much. Are you a coffee drinker? Then chances are you have coffee grounds in your kitchen, right? After you are done with the grounds, don’t throw it away just yet.

Combine the warm coffee grounds with a body lotion or an anti-cellulite lotion and massage it directly into the affected areas for about 5 minutes. The constant massaging and the caffeine in coffee enlarge the blood vessels and hastening blood circulation in the area therefore loosening the cellulites.

To get maximum results, make sure to repeat the treatment twice a week.

It’s that time of the year again that your family is busy planning for your family vacation. You can’t seem to comprehend why year after year your family would go through the chaos of a family vacation all over again.

Didn’t your parents remember what happened last year? While you were in Mexico, your kid brother stepped on a sea urchin and your dad had to pee on your brother’s foot? Your brother was hysterical that time… though thankfully not from the pain. Well, now that you think about it. It was pretty funny.

There was that time that you all got stranded in a small airport in Austria while in one of your family vacations.

In fact your family and that nice Austrian family still communicate until now. Your parents are even thinking about letting them stay at your house for a family vacation too.

How could your parents ever forget that with every family vacation that you all go to, there will always be some problems and inconveniences?

But, now that you think about it, the best times you spent with your parents and siblings are when you are on family vacations. Maybe your parents have been right after all. Well, they always are.
