Quick Beauty Touch-Up Fixes Before a Meeting

For women who are business professionals, quick fixes don't need a lot of effort and can even make your personality more likeable.

Here are the ways how: - (they may not be 100% perfect for everyone, but it would surely help).

• Skin - Use a nonpowdered blotting paper on your nose, forehead and chin to do away with shine. It can help degrease those areas without messing up your make up.
• To sweep away any make up smudges, use a cotton swab. Start one lightly under your eyes, around the nose, and along the edges of your lips.
• Squeeze a drop of serum, cream or hand lotion on your hair for frizzes or flyaways, and rub it with your palm.
• Touch up your lipstick but just go easy on your gloss as it can be distracting if you overdo it.

Translation, Please!

A few years ago, before I got married to my husband, I didn't find any language barrier between us. He is an American and I am a Filipino. I speak and can read English very well. Not until when he started visiting my country, the Philippines and he would hear people around him speaking Tagalog which is my country's national language. He gets uneasy when I am speaking my own language with my family and friends, and most of the time, he would ask me to translate the things we are talking about.

After we got married and finally joined him here in the US, I suggested buying a Rosetta Stone for Tagalog learning. I thought I could easily translate as I talk in my own language, but I was wrong! I discovered I am not a good translator! LOL!

I couldn't imagine if there won't be any translation service all around the world. There are a lot of different languages all around the world and without any translators nor help from translation agencies, it would simply be a world that everybody would not enjoy with no opportunities to live a better life, don't you think?

Considering that nowadays, almost every country is becoming diverse in its culture. This is where a translation company comes into the scene. As diversity becomes more common particularly in the metropolitan areas, we see more opportunities for jobs, businesses, as well as better services in the medical, financial and technological settings.

Raising Your Kids To Be Healthier

According to a CDC study, childhood obesity has been tripled in the past 30 years. So, it is just vital for parents to remember that obesity as a child can be carried out through into adulthood.

Here are some ideas that help:

• Instead of getting some potato chips and cookies, why not choose a better alternative such as low-fat yogurt, fruit, pretzels or string cheese.
• If you drink juice, let your kids have no more than 4-6 ounces of juice a day.
• Try incorporating eating at least 5 fruits and a vegetable a day. It is a fun way to think of the colors of the rainbow, and choose fruits and veggies accordingly.
• Encourage your kids to be more engaged in physical activity. Limit TV and computer/video games to no more than 1-2 hours a day; this way kids will be more encouraged to be more active.

Another Snowy Day!

So today starts another snowy day until tomorrow afternoon (Monday, 3/17). It's only 3 days before the official spring season kicks off, but Mr. Winter seems to be persistent staying for a while. [sigh!]

On the other end, it will be another no work day for the hubby, the only reason why I like snowy days sometimes, lol! In this case, I won't mind Mr. winter staying for a bit til tomorrow! The previous snow days were more than enough to handle, but more time to hang out with my husband. ;)

I hope this would be the last snow we are having before the winter finally ends. It doesn't seem right to be enjoying spring and snows are still a lot on sight!

Get Your Kids A Backyard Playground!

For kids, play is one of the most vital aspect of their childhood. They would surely love when you take them to the public parks or amusement parks as they sometimes need a BIG treat from mom and dad. On the other hand, public parks can sometimes pose danger for them, and amusement parks can be expensive for a tight budget. 

So, it is always good to set their exposure moderately for their interpersonal skills with other children when it comes to playing in a public park. It would be worth the money to invest for swing sets in williamsburg va and convert your backyard into a playground for your kids, don't you think? A family bonding with the little ones enjoying their own playground is worth the buy. And you don't have to worry about their safety too! Think about it. Consider it a special treat for your kids, and for your own peace of mind as well ;).

A Movie Date!

I and hubby usually watch movies when we see some good ones in the weekends at our nearby movie theater which is in Westminster. And of course, it would always be English movies.

But today, we thought of watching a Filipino movie at AMC Loews Rio Cinemas in Gaithersburg. This was actually our 2nd time to watch a Filipino movie; - ("Bride For Rent"). I always considered it as worth the time doing it because the hubby can understand it too! Thank God for subtitles! ;)

As usual, the movie was always better than what I expected it to be! There's always something good moral lesson that you can take from the movie which is a good thing. 

Although it's a bit quite of a long drive (an hour away from home), it's always worth looking forward to. This means if there will be one coming again worth watching, we will do it again. Just that this is the only movie theater that offers Filipino movies closest to us. We won't mind, an hour drive away.
