Timeless Beauty

Image by tacit requiem via Flickr Lately I have had difficulties in getting rid of my belly fat. It used to be easy for me to trim down a bit by dieting, but now, due to aging, I have a hard time keeping it off. I've been thinking of doing something drastic, like buy Nuphedra or Fernslim from the local distributor. Both are hunger suppressants, which means you don't have to worry about your bowel movement. I don't know which is better. As long as they work and there are no severe side effects, then it's all fine with me. I've been promoting Fernslim in this blog, but this is the first time I mentioned Nuphedra. What caught my attention was the list of ingredients, which includes caffeine from Green Tea Extract, capsaicin from Cayenne pepper extract, and Phenylethylamine (PEA) found in chocolates. I believe the product is safe and possibly effective because of the natural ingredients. Although the name is similar to the banned drug ingredient ephedra, Nup...

They stayed for a few weeks here in the Philippines for some rest and relaxation, which they badly needed. As expected, the whole family got together for a small reunion of sorts when we celebrated the house blessing for one of my cousin's house in Barotac Nuevo . During the party we enjoyed updating each other on what's happening with our lives. One of these conversations centered on my nephew's schooling and how he was doing.

The prize will be one of those new PS3 players favored by many kids today. That was one of the better news I had received that day in spite of the little tiff I had with my boyfriend, and the mistake I made when I took the jeepney to Barotac Nuevo. Instead of a BN jeepney I mistakenly took a Dueñas jeepney. I...

Image via Wikipedia Stretch marks are often seen during pregnancy because of the rapid stretching of the skin to accommodate the growing fetus inside. The skin can not produce enough collagen to cope with the rapid growth. This causes tearing in the skin where the collagen in the skin separates. Aside from pregnancy, other cases where stretch marks may appear include rapid weight gain and the enlargement of breasts before one's menstrual period or after breast enlargement surgery. Based on some articles on stretch marks, scientists and doctors generally believe it is a genetic predisposition. This means that women who often develop prominent stretch marks on their stomach, thighs, buttocks, and breasts have mothers who surely have them, too. Most of these marks fade over time, but they do not completely disappear. A lot of women and a few men swear by many cures and preventions. Some of these cures are homemade, while others can be easily bought over-the-counter from the pharm...
