Victory Hair

Oh, how I envy those gorgeous models with shiny, straight hair in TV commercials! I remember during those days when my husband would visit me back home in the Philippines, I would anxiously prepare myself, making sure that he would fall more in love with me when he sees me with my Victory Hair :) Weeks before he'd arrive, I would go to the salon, have a hot oil, wax or cellophane treatment. Desperate to have a beautiful straight hair, I would have my hair rebonded, which, by the way, costs a lot! :) I went to the store with my friends to pick up a nice-looking dress for me to wear on his arrival. The day that I'd been waiting for finally came. My brother and I picked him up at the airport. Oh, I couldn't describe my feelings when I saw him. And I knew he felt the same way, too. Excitement filled the air. He touched my hair, my Victory Hair! I felt some sparks of electricity all over me. We had fun together. It was one of the best days of my life. Speaking of fun, there is an online game called Extreme Style by VO5 Ultimate Flirting Championship which you will enjoy! Try playing the game and you will have fun like I did!

New Disney Bingo Game

I loved watching Disney shows on TV when I was little. I remember waking up in the morning watching Disney even before eating breakfast. In the afternoon, after taking a nap, I would switch the channel to Disney while eating snacks. I enjoyed watching Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Donald Duck, Daisy, Pluto and Goofy. Among the Disney movies I liked were Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Finding Nemo and of course, The Lion King. The Lion King is my ultimate favorite among all of them. I sing the famous song in that movie called "Hakuna Matata" whenever I get too much worried on certain things. How about you? Which are your five favorites similar to my list? My little son, Noah loves it when I read to him the book on Finding Nemo. He likes looking at the colorful pictures. There is a new DVD game, ScreenLife Game Disney Bingo which I plan on getting for my kids. You can buy it at Amazon.com or Drugstore.com. I am sure my children, and even Mommy and Daddy will love it. It is a good way for your kids to learn numbers, colors and even hone their matching skills, with the Disney characters like Mickey, Minnie as examples. It works by matching the numbers on the board as they are called out. Whoever fills in the pattern first and shouts BINGO wins. Get the Disney Bingo now and enjoy!

Alzheimer's Memory Walk

When I was in college, we would usually hang out at our friend's house after school. We all belonged to the same class. I can say she had the nicest grandmother in the world. She was the sweetest she could be. Whenever we would come to just chill out, she would make it a point to cook us our favorite snacks, and entertain us with stories about her younger years, her love life, how she met her husband, how many boyfriends she had, etc. We always enjoyed her company and there was never a dull moment with her. Years passed by after graduating, I met my friend at a store surprisingly and asked about her grandmother. I was shocked about what she revealed. She said she had changed a lot and had been forgetting things like their names, and even forgetting to turn the stove off at times. Even her moods have changed. Sometimes, she's relaxed, then after a minute, she'd be crying, and then get mad at everybody for no apparent reason at all. I figured she had Alzheimer's Disease as confirmed also by my friend. I feel sad for her and her grandmother. That being said, I would like to invite everyone to join the
Alzheimer's Memory Walk. By joining this event, you would be able to raise awareness and funds to the care and research of Alzheimer's Disease which has been affecting a number of elderly people. Young and old, no matter what your age is, you can be a volunteer to Alzheimer's Memory Walk. There would be walks in more than 600 communities. The Memory Walk is a 2 to 3 mile walk held on a weekend morning in the fall. It is the nation's biggest event so far that aim to put a stop to this disease.



Please join. Help. Who knows? This might save your loved one's life, and even your life.

Sweet Smelling Home!

I, myself am a fan of Renuzit. Of all the different brands I have tried, Renuzit has so far delivered the perfect kind of scents I wanted. Two of the scents that I have been using at home, and apparently my favorites, are Raspberry and Sunny Laundry. I also like the smell of Caribbean Cooler Home Fragrance Spray which I'm using right now in one of our bathrooms. When I learned about the Renuzit TriScents scented oil air freshener, I was so excited! As soon as I got the Renuzit TriScents Transform Your Home Kit, I plugged it in our living room and in just a few seconds, our whole house smelled lovely and like new! Oh, how I love the smell! What I actually got was the Morning Meadow Collection which consists of three fragrances namely Waterfall Mist, After The Rain and Pure Breeze. The scents change automatically ever 45 seconds and they last for as long as 60 days. Wow! What a splendid idea from the makers of Renuzit! If you want to know more about the product, just visit their website http://www.triscents.com and print a coupon for the Renuzit TriScents Starter Kit. I will certainly buy another one using the coupon they provided along with the kit, but this time, I'm going to try the Seaside Breeze Collection. mmmm love the smell!

To All Blogging Mothers!

To all blogging mothers like me, here is one guaranteed way to earn money from the comforts of your own home. It's through SocialSpark. All you need to do is sign up for their mailing list. So easy huh? I have been blogging for a few months now, yet I still call myself a newbie since I still have a lot to learn in this arena. I can say that I have been enjoying it so far! Aside from having a means to tell your stories to the whole world, you get to know and meet other people who share interesting stories as well. I love reading other people's blogs and from that aspect, I get to meet new friends especially mothers like me. I just gave birth to a baby boy named Kaiden, and I am grateful that I am part of SocialSpark. SocialSpark has given me an opportunity to earn some money while I take care of my two small, young children without leaving home. Daycare can be very expensive especially with two kids. I used to drive to work. I would leave my only son then to the daycare on my way to the hospital where my office was. Now, having two of them, it may not be a very practical move to drive to work and leave both of them to the daycare. I only earn a decent amount, and with the rising price of gas, it may not be a great idea. I am fortunate though that my good boss had my computer set-up for work at home. However, it may not be enough with the cost of diapers, milk, wipes, baby food, etc. Good thing I found SocialSpark. What I love about it is its unique features, its friendly, colorful layout, and the fact that there's a lot of opportunities to choose from. To add to that, you get paid soon. I can attest to that. So to all blogging mommies out there, join SocialSpark now!

A Promising Show to Watch!

Crime shows are thrilling to watch. They are most of the time mind-boggling and would challenge your intelligence at some point. This certainly holds true with USA Network's new original series In Plain Sight. It stars Mary McCormack as Mary Shannon, a US Marshall connected to the WITSEC- Federal Witness Protection Program. In this show, she is with a partner named Marshall Mann (Fred Weller) who shares contrasting views with her ending in disagreements and conflicts most of the time. Their role is to fully protect the witnesses and take care of them as much as they can. The lives of the witnesses are at risk, and partners, Mary and Marshall, can't afford to spare a minute of negligence as it would entail their lives. The safety of the witnesses is obviously at their hands. Understandably, since her job is critical, no one close to her like her family, can know the nature of her job. That certainly adds up to the spice of the show. Let's watch USA Network's new original series In Plain Sight which premiered June 1st. True enough, this show is promising! Can you find where Mary is?

My Favorite Pair of Pants

During my younger years, I had this favorite pants of mine that I basically wore every time I would go out to the mall with my friends, dine out or watch movies. It was a pair of tight blue jeans that shapely covered my legs, and gave my body a nice-looking curve. I would wear it with a simple white shirt, or a sleeveless top to match with it. Well, during those days, I had a svelte body to justify wearing those kind of pants. Sadly, not anymore! Those were the good old days! :) Oh, I just loved those pants! If that pair of pants could talk, it would have said "C'mon, give me a break! ". I never got tired of wearing it until that day that it got accidentally stained with a bleaching solution. Oh, that was a devastating experience for me! And you know, it is hard to find a pair of pants that would fit perfectly on your body. Hey, speaking of pants, I came across an awesome contest from Dockers that really caught my attention. It is called Dockers TV Commercial Contest.
