Skirt for me

Author: JOY  //  Category: shopping, women  //  Comments (0)  //  Add Comment

I just realized that I don’t have long skirts when I checked my wardrobe. I was in need of long white skirt because of the retreat I attended last week. It was a Marian Retreat. A study about the life of the Immaculate Conception and her roots. It was a very uplifting retreat. A good food for the soul. I will now put in my shopping list to buy white long skirt or maybe dress for I will be needing it in the next retreat I will be attending. It will be sooner or later.

I miss shopping @ VS

It’s been a while since I haven’t shopping online most especially VS. I used to shop lingerie, dresses, and shoes there. After my credit card expired, can’t shop there anymore because they don’t accept paypal payments. I was spending too much for shipping before especially if I wanted an item badly because I chose to pay the rush shipping options. How I wish VS will expand their stores here in Melbourne Australia.
Well it’s not only them selling cute and good qualities of lingerie anyway. I still can live without VS. A business-minded friend of mine even used to buy in a wholesaler shop of lingerie and then offered it to some of her other friends. She gets good profit out of it.

Wishes do Come True

I’ve always wished that I could have everything I wanted, but I realized that it isn’t possible. No body can really have everything that they want. Some could say that they could buy everything, but none of them are truly happy.   Yes they could click here or there, and get what they can afford.   They can even get away with possibly reversing their age.   But money doesn’t really make wishes come true.

Too many creams

What’s your favorite beauty cream? Do you prefer whitening creams, moisturizing creams, wrinkle creams or exfoliating creams? I haven’t mention the other creams yet but do you wonder how our system handle all these kinds of creams? I love moisturizing creams with sunscreen ever since I arrived here in Australia. It’s very important with the kind of weather we have in here. In Philippine, women loves whitening creams. They’re dying to get fair skin.

I have small time business and it is doing well. I’m on my way to the next level but suddenly a bigger business opportunity comes my way. It’s interesting, convincing and fashionable business that can relate to every woman’s needs. With my small time business I got enough time to look after my kids since it’s a home-base business. With the bigger business opportunity requires investment. Enough time and effort. Night-outs but for business purposes. Travel to other country tendency. I am a mother of three kids and wife of a grumpy and possessive husband. This a big challenge for me. if I pursue, I might leave them once in a while and take note; my husband is an IT career man.  Many things need to be consider. Isn’t it hard to focus on something when you know you also need to sacrifice? Will I sacrifice for the sake of the business opportunity or forget the opportunity for the sake of the family? You can sense the doubts in me. This will help and support my family soon anyway. I need more confident in order also to pursue it. I want to say I can do it! Aiming the target before letting out the money investment that I can say it’s not small amount. It’s easy to get back the investment as long as I’m determined. But I’m not desperate but I want to be desperate! Oh God please I’m begging..give me a sign…! Should I just continue with my small time business or go on with bigger business opportunity?
This business is not about earning. This is about me as a woman. My self-worth, financial freedom yeah also because I have just limited since I don’t earn much.  Most importantly,I need to grow more. So help me God. I need guidance.

Body Beautiful

What makes you take a second look at someone? Most people would always say that a perfect face would make them take a second look at someone. Others will say that a beautiful body gets them to turn their heads. But come to think of it, how do you judge a beautiful person. I know that it doesn’t have to have to include increasing muscle mass for a perfect body shape. It doesn’t have to include applying tons of make up to look pretty. A beautiful personality should be the best gauge for a person. Now that will surely make me a take more than one look at them.

Exercise for your shape

Are you an apple, a pear, a spoon, a ruler, an hourglass, a cone…? Learn to exercise for your shape
Picture this. You and a girlfriend are both tall. You eat pretty much the same types of food and the same amount. And yet, she’s got the perfect body while you’re wincing every time you cross a mirror. You can’t help but wonder just what the hell is wrong with you.
It’s not you, honey, it’s your genes. Every woman is defined by the tape measure. A woman’s body shape depends on the type of fats she carries most. And all fat is not created equal. An apple can never become a pear. But overweight apple can become a healthy apple.
You can’t really change your basic shape but can work to tone it and shape it better. To lose weight and inches, you need to exercise based on your shape. Although some people rely on using weight loss pills, they still exercise to shape up. It’s not nice to be so slim and just straight like a post. A curve gives impact to a woman’s body. That’s why I love my hula-hoop because it shapes me up.

Went out!

Author: JOY  //  Category: home, women  //  Comments (0)  //  Add Comment

I went out with my two girl friends today after we went to church. We went out not for fun but for some serious matter. Not really serious lol. They went with me to buy new bed for my kids. I mentioned with my other site that I’m working on making my kids room tidy. It’s really hard to maintain tidy room for all boys’ kids. I bought bunk bed for them for me to get more space in their room. Unfortunately, I have to wait a couple of weeks for the bed to arrive. After we went to furniture shop, we head to refurbished laptop store. My new friend bought one for her brother. After all some little shopping, we just head home because hubbies and kids are whining. What a life!

How come?

My Filipino friend and her sister visited me last Saturday. Her sister name is the same as my sister’s name. She ask me how come I’m so slim despite of having three kids. People will not think I’m married if I’ll go out alone. She’s wondering if I have a secret to share with her on how to lose belly fat because it’s her long time problem. I just told her that I don’t have secret because this is my build since birth ha-ha. I do exercise like biking, hoolahoop and walking but not often. Some people consider I’m lucky because of this. Actually I’m not happy being petite but this is who I am and I accept it. Nobody’s perfect!
