Want To Be Fair?

Using whitening products can give you enviably fairer skin, but it also requires that you step up in your sun-protecting habits. Melanin is composed of molecules that work together to absorb all the wavelengths from the UV rays that are damaging to the skin. And, since most whitening loot aim for the reduction of melanin, the body's natural sunscreen is reduced as well. As such, Snow White fans must maintain a stricter regimen of SPF-slathering. Plus, looking for loot that contains UV block is necessary for keeping fair and sun-safe. (Source: CosmoMag)

Don't Forget Mom On Her Day!

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and what more could make that day special than by giving our dear mothers the gift that they truly deserve? There are several beautiful mothers day gifts to choose from, but if unsure of exactly what to get her, isn’t it much nicer to get her a gift certificate?

Yes, you can actually get that at Photofiddle.com. They are giving away a $10 gift certificate especially for Mother’s Day. And they have this unique idea as a gift for the mothers – an art photo which you can create yourself and wherein you can put it on canvas as an art print. Great, isn’t it? They offer discounts and contests from time to time, and if you want to be updated, follow them on twitter.

My Cutie Handbag

This is not really something new since i bought it December last year. One of the few Christmas gifts that i bought for myself. But this is the handbag that i use every time i go out. I just love it! Very cute and because of the color which is white, i could use it with whatever the color of my dress is.

I bought this pretty cheap. Well, i don't really mind for as long as i like the design and the texture of the bag. I always look for less actually. Bags need not be expensive to be nice. Am i right? (",)

Searching For A Search Engine?

Almost every single thing, if not everything, is already on the internet. Everything that you ever wanted to know is right in there, be it about homework, real life questions; about businesses, etc. To find wanted data, we use search engines to get what we want, but there are so many search engines to choose from and it is a fact that not all offer the service that we want – fast, very useful facilities and unique features such that of AAfter.com.

I came across the site recently and indeed they’re one amazing site. I can search for a person’s background, check for IP Geo Location Tools for Webmasters or Bloggers, and I can even make good use of it for Twitter. Interesting, huh? Check it out yourself and be amazed just as I was.

Music Monday: I Think God Can Explain by Splender

One of the songs that i love to listen to especially when i'm down. Definitely, only He knows the reasons behind everything. This song became a hit in the 90's and that was the time when my late hubby was still connected with Killerbee FM - a popular pop station here in our city. He loves to play it during his slot and he was actually the one who introduced the song to me. Reminiscin' time now, huh! (",)

Music Monday : Get Here

I've been seeing videos all throughout the blogosphere and being the music lover that i am, i've been raring to participate in Music Monday. I was just hesitating before because i thought they have qualifications for the participants. But since there's none, so here i am with my first ever Music Monday entry.

I love this song a lot, not just because of my present status with my dear friend but this song simply touched me in so many ways. I was listening to yahoo music earlier while talking to my dear friend when this song was played which made me think of joining Music Monday finally and chose this song as my first ever entry. But unfortunately, the video with Oleta Adams is no longer available that's why i opted for this one - the version of American Idol participant, Jacob. He doesn't only have an excellent voice but he's cute too. Don't you think so? Hehe.

My eBay Shopping Continues

In just a short span of two weeks, i've already bought sixteen blouses from eBay. Whoa! I've posted about my second purchase before, if you remember. That's how addicted i am to it during those times but now, i'm trying to control it. I seldom visit eBay anymore so i won't be tempted to purchase another one. Hehe. Fortunately though, there wasn't anything that i like the last time that i browsed the site. Good! LOL.

These blouses here were the third and fourth batches of my so-called eBay shopping. I like them all and they fit me well. Nice choice, Lynndee! Hehe. What i've got were as follows: blue Victoria's Secret top, green Bayo top, light pink Hollister tee and four plain locally made blouses.

I know there will be more batches of blouses coming soon but i would be frugal this time. Like what my friend Leo always tells me. (*wink*) Maybe i'll purchase one item every month. Well, that is, if i won't see anything that i like. LOL.

Sunscreen Checklist

Summer is already here and as the heat goes on, we definitely need sunscreen to protect our skin. Here are some information that you need to know about sunscreen.

1) Look for an SPF of at least 15. The SPF number tells you how long the sunscreen protects you, compared to the length of time it would take you to get burned without sunscreen. (For example, if your skin turns red after 20 minutes, SPF 15 keeps you from getting crab-like 15 times longer or five hours.)

2) Make sure it has UVA protection as well as UVB. Check the ingredient list for zinc oxide or titanium dioxide -- both physically block UVA and UVB rays. UVB rays have short wavelength that reaches only the outer layer of the skin, while UVA rays can penetrate the dermis or the skin's middle layer.

3) Squeeze out a shot glass-sized amount. Coat your skin in a thin, even layer. If you can, put it on when you're naked so you don't miss a spot.

4) Reapply every two hours if you're outside, even if you're using a so-called waterproof sunscreen. These typically wear off just as fast as the regular type.

Crash and Burn


Lyrics | Savage Garden lyrics - Crash And Burn lyrics

I like this one -- the rhythm, the lyrics, the artist...everything. I haven't listened to this song for quite sometime and kind of forgot about it not until my dear friend mentioned the words "crash and burn" when he was about to hit the rack. And that's when i thought of it again. I told him about it and he recorded it for me. Well, not only this song actually, there's a lot more and i will share them all here...one by one. But with his permission, of course . Hee hee.

dNeero: SpitzTunes --- I am a Boy!

There were times that i didn't mind the lyrics of the song that i'm listening to and just listened to it's melody, but eventually figured what it is about. But there were also times that every word of the song that i was listening to goes to every nerve in my brain (if that's how you call it. LOL). Maybe it depends on the kind of mood that i'm into or the surrounding that i'm in. Whichever, i am a music lover and i can't last a day without humming a tune or listening to any song. (",)
