Little Things We Ignore

Skin Care 0001



It's always the little things that we tend to ignore especially nowadays that we seldom find time to analyze things up.

Take a look at these things that you may be unaware of, things that may be your regular habits and can add up to lines and wrinkles.


• Doing the squint. We do squinting when we don’t see things clearly. If you wear glasses or contacts, make sure your prescription is up-to-date. It is also an important thing to wear sunglasses outside on all but the cloudiest days of the year. This will keep you from squinting, and with UV protective lenses, they'll also protect the delicate skin around the eyes from incurring sun damage.

• Chin in your hand. As the old guys would always say in our place, resting your chin in your hand is not a good omen. It is just a saying but the truth is, besides making you look bored and tired, this pose pulls and stretches the skin around your eyes, cheeks, and chin. Over time, you lose elasticity and firmness.

• Using cotton pillowcase. Sleeping on a cotton pillowcase sounds like the most absurd of beauty myths, but dermatologists say that the creases in cotton gradually contribute to creases in your skin. Get your beauty sleep on a satin pillowcase instead.

• Using the straw. Dentists say, sipping through a straw will help protect teeth from stains. But dermatologists warn that it will also create fine lines around your mouth.

• Pulling down the skin. During the busy times at work, we may not notice that we scratch our face so hard that we don’t notice we’re already pulling it down. Doing this regularly can make your face to sag. Women who put eyeliner tend to pull down the lower eyelid that tends the eye bag to sag. Be careful in doing this because we don’t have fats around the eyes, thus skin tends to sag easily. This is why we put moisturizers most on the skin around the eyes.

Love your skin. Try everything you know to avoid anything that damages your skin. We need to be more observant, not paranoid.

Q&As 0001

Sharing one of the issues responded by Arda Torres posted on Women's blogs.

Concern: My Husband cheated on me and now he has a baby on the way.....

Me and my husband have been together for 10 years but married for 7 years. We have 2 kids boy and a girl. Our relationship has been rocky ever since the birth of my daughter last year in April. He was ready to leave but then we said that we would work things out 4 months after my daughter was born. I found out that I was pregnant again to me that was wonderful because kids are blessings from GOD, but to him it was the most horrible thing that could have happened to him. He was so nasty and ignorant to me and forced me to get an abortion. It broke my mind body and soul to have done that and I have so much anger towards him because of that so our relationship kept having it up and down. That happened last year in Oct. but yesterday some old flusy called me to let me know that she was 6 months pregnant with his baby. I'm so lost my heart hurts so bad I feel like I lost myself I asked him about it and he didn’t deny it he said that he gave her the money for the abortion and she said that she had ir done but she really didn’t....he said that he does not want to lose his family and that when that baby is born he is going to sign his rights over cuz he wants nothing to do with them......sorry that this so long but some advice would really be appreciated because right now breathing hurts.

Arda:

So sad that this thing happens..not only to you but to most women out there. But you have to face reality and be strong for your children. Getting hurt is life's way of making you a stronger person but it doesn't mean that you need to take all the pains. Nobody in this world could ever decide for you, but yourself... no matter how long my responses here would be. You decide now before the pain get to your kids. It's all up to you. Ask yourself now, "Can I bear all the pains I’m going through now?" If yes, how long? Choose between loosing your husband and yourself... if you can live without him, I would say it's better you let go of him. If you cannot stand loosing him, then I would say accept the pain and be prepared for more pains, unless he really meant to change for you and the kids. With all the marriage problems I have been encountering, I would always say, couples who pray and go to church together surpass trials easier. Keep in mind that it is a sin to kill and abortion is a form of killing. So I hope you won’t consider abortion in the future. Pray harder, nothing is better than the divine intervention on your marriage now. God has always plans for you. God bless you!

Understanding the "Writer" in Me

Understanding the "Writer" in me... find it in you too!

I am dedicating this blog to the women of excellence in my life, my Grandma (+), who would always tell me to be better. And to my Nanay (shown with me in the inserted photo), who has grown old but stayed as calm and patient as she has always been, teaching me to be a better woman that I am now.

Admit it! All of us have this “I” inside us. So don’t get carried away if you find the ever famous “I” way too often here. It is not because I am being self-centered (well, maybe sometimes), but because this write-up is about myself being the “writer.” This article was also drawn to my mind to further assert why in the world I write a lot of stuffs. Let me also say that, there is always the “writer” in all of us.

I am a very passionate person. I always have this passion in me that I get to apply into anything I do. I too, am very patient that I tend to give attention to people having an annoying personality to most. So I get to understand almost any form of human individuals I encounter. I am very hard working that I usually want to get focused on anything I am into without stopping to excel.

Like any other individuals, being a Godly woman helped me overcome trials with the blessings God has bestowed me. My work is one of those blessings I would forever be thankful for. With my job now, I get to travel abroad once in awhile and meet people of different cultures.

I finished college out of my own earnings. Being a working student wasn't easy but a rewarding encounter where I have become more courageous to strive harder and soar higher. Luckily, or shall I say it more accurately, I am so blessed that I was given a post graduate scholarship by my present employer at a very prestigious university where I earned another diploma in Purchasing and Supply Chain Management course. I am planning to continue the review and eventually take the CPSM board examination.

The moment I arrive home from work each day, I would immediately turn my computer on and browse the internet while taking a view at my emails. I allot enough time using the net to see anything interesting before resting. It is not an addiction, or maybe to some other terms it is, but I find it something educational because I learn a lot of new things everyday. I have written comic stories with my own illustration from grade school to high school. It was just too unfortunate that my Mom trashed them during our transfer to another house. Being in the brood of artists, it was expected of me I guess to graduate from grade school getting the post of the champion in Art. I was once the school’s representative for an art contest. So I was a good package then, illustrating the ones I wrote.

During my early years at work, I have been a member of our company's editorial staff for our monthly newsletter. Now, being employed by an American company in Manila, I have been given the privilege to be the writer of our division's weekly newsletter, distributed to more or less 350 people here and abroad. This may not be enough to convince you that I really love writing. Over the past years, my experience in writing still needs something to get nurtured with. And this writing blog is the answer. To further enhance my ability to write and expand clearly what’s on my mind. Reaching out for people to understand God’s given precious gift, life.

Understanding women is the theme I chose because a lot of people have this thought that women are hard to explain. I agree it is, because the word “understand” is missing. I would like to express that women have so much to boast and thank God for. I have many to mention. I, myself have reached so much achievements, as much as trials along the way of maturity. Career wise, I have been a constant awardee even during my first employments. I have also received "Best in Leadership Awards" and "Quality Awards” from my past employers. I was also recognized as "Best Promising Agent” during my first few months in a well-known call center company. Up to now, I keep on getting different kinds of recognitions, which I am very thankful for because my Boss is always appreciative of what I do at work.

Well, this is all for now for an introduction. Thank you for taking time to read this starter write-up. I hope you will find all my upcoming articles here much more interesting. I will be tackling about women’s interests, as well as spiritual sides, emotional characters, and all possible issues about women that most men would like to read as well. This is to further help people have better understanding about, and better relationships with their spouses, partners, and children. There will be discussions about the topics posted. Decent questions and consultations will be gladly entertained too.

Take care everyone! Keep reading…and writing as well! God bless you all!
