The good thing is, coffee abounds antioxidants. And with a cup of coffee a day, I can be certain that free radicals present in my body are shattered. I just can’t imagine how great these antioxidants could do for my body and since there is no way being beautiful than starting it within, I make coffee my constant stream of antioxidants.
1. Try everything twice. On Madams tombstone (of Whelan's and Madam) she said she wanted this epitaph: Tried everything twice...loved it both times!
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. (Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches)
3. Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain gets idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name can be Alzheimer's!
4. Enjoy the simple things. The breeze on your cheek, a second cup of coffee outside, listening to the birds sing, every sunset you can see...
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER.
6. The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. LIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love: Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, or anything. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
11. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second time.
I am in the state of euphoria right now since holiday is fast approaching. But because this is a busy month for every one of us, expect yourself to be restless at all times. Different activities awaits me… the dawn masses, work deadlines, shopping to the last minute, rehearsals for company party (artistahin kasi hehehe), and the endless Christmas parties, how do you expect me to sleep well? These are fine actually. In fact, I love to keep myself busy. What I’m afraid about is skin break outs. Because I got a very sensitive skin, my face easily got dull and blotchy. Thank God I can still recall some of the beauty regimen I know. I can actually identify a lot. But let me tell you one of my favorites.
They say the secret to natural beauty is using natural products. You can find some in your kitchen cabinet. (hehehe) these are really helpful. These include the mixture of evap milk and lemon. Way back in college, I had a terrible skin break out. Finding the right product for my skin is difficult until I discover the secret of this mixture. And because this is a common problem for me, I often use this as a solution to my problem with zits. I really hate it when I got skin blemishes. I just hope I won’t get the serious attack this time.
