Organic tea to eliminate armpit and body odor

2013-03-30T12:29:00.000-06:00

I was born with armpit odor. It is such a sensitive topic, and really annoyed especially in summer. Every year I spend lots on personal products and deodorants until I try this organic tea my friend sent me from China. I started to drink it in January this year, and till now, the effect is obvious, so I wanted to share.

The theory behind this is that your armpits are to excrete toxins from your body, while this organic tea helps this detox process through urination, belching and farting, so that you can sweat without worrying about unpleasant odor.

I have 2 cans of green tea available only for $20/each. Shipping fee is not included. I know it is a little pricy, but they are the top one from that organic tea garden.

BTW, sweating is an important part of maintaining optimum physical health.You need to keep them open and unclogged by deodorant products.

A little note: your diet will make you stink, and red meat is the number one cause of body odor. manufactured foods too. Some of the best foods to cleanse your body inside out include parsley, cilantro, celery and all mint species. The aromatic herbs are also excellent: sage, rosemary, thyme, oregano, and so on.

2012, is it really the end of the world?

2011-12-29T22:07:00.000-07:00

2012

What will happen on Dec 21, 2012?

When the new year 2012 is approaching, a stream of fear arises from the bottom of my heart. Maya civilization predicted on this day our world will come to its end. What if it is true? What if we will all die? Where will be the safe spot? China? Are they really building arks?

Why Mandarin is more difficult to learn than Cantonese for 2nd generation oversea?

2011-12-29T11:23:00.000-07:00

I have seen more children raised in Cantonese speaking families retain their language skills than Mandarin speaking ones. Why? Environment.

Language environment is critical in mastering a new language. Both Mandarin and Cantonese speaking parents talk to their children in their mother tongue, but I don't think that is enough, especially for teenagers. In this stage, teenagers seek for peer recognition. I remember when I was in junior and senior high. Besides schooling, my friends and I started to pay attention to entertainment industry, and we have board topics of games, TV soap episodes and songs, etc.. This is where differences lay between the two mentioned above language environments. In Cantonese community, people manage to provide children with radio programs, popular TV series, songs, celebrities and magazines. The impression left for children is COOL to know about all these. In Mandarin community, I don't think parents even care about entertainment industry to children. Children shame about speaking mother tongue, which is the failure of traditional education.

Boxing Day Symptoms

2011-12-29T10:59:00.000-07:00

Boxing day was exciting. My husband, my cousin and I got up at around 6 am, and headed to Future shop and BestBuy. On the way, we were kind of surprised to find people were driving back already. They must camp outside stores we guessed.

I do love camping, even though it costs a good and warm sleep sometimes. However, camping in a civilized mall is something out of my dictionary so far.

When we arrived, we were convinced to act fast upon we saw other customers' tense faces. Divided into two teams, we jumped into the crowd and aimed at our targets. My cousin and I grabbed a Xbox Kinect and an iTune card, while my husband was checking TVs in future shop. Fortunately, there was a BestBuy located in the same mall. Well, maybe I should not say it like that. It was not fortunately, but because we had done our homework. So, we went to BestBuy to hunt for other items on our shopping list. There was nothing more delightful than finding out our 43" Samsung TV was still available in stock when the shelf was empty. In some degree, if you like people watching, boxing day could be a perfect day to celebrate. Lineups were in every directions. It didn't take us long to locate our stuff, but I think we stood in line longer. When we finally happily escaped from the mall, a TV, a Xbox Kinect, a computer, a Xbox control, Halo 3 and an iTune card were all on board.

To me, the most exciting part is the shopping process. This is pretty popular statement among my circle. Gathering must be one of the social function for our female ancestors thousands of years ago, so that the mark is carved so deep to affect even offspring in modern 2012.

A book I want to read

2011-12-23T20:31:00.000-07:00

A Truth Universally Acknowledged: 33 Great Writers on Why We Read Jane Austen

I have found Alain De Botton's name in the these 33 great writers. Back to my college days, I could have never kept my hands away from his books.

"For so many of us a Jane Austen novel is much more than the epitome of a great read. It is a delight and a solace, a challenge and a reward, and perhaps even an obsession. For two centuries Austen has enthralled readers. Few other authors can claim as many fans or as much devotion. So why are we so fascinated with her novels? What is it about her prose that has made Jane Austen so universally beloved?

In essays culled from the last one hundred years of criticism juxtaposed with new pieces by some of today’s most popular novelists and essayists, Jane Austen’s writing is examined and discussed, from her witty dialogue to the arc and sweep of her story lines. Great authors and literary critics of the past offer insights into the timelessness of her moral truths while highlighting the unique confines of the society in which she composed her novels. Virginia Woolf examines Austen’s maturation as an artist and speculates on how her writing would have changed if she’d lived twenty more years, while C. S. Lewis celebrates Austen’s mirthful, ironic take on traditional values.

We read, and then reread, our favorite Austen novels to connect with both her world and our own. Because, as A Truth Universally Acknowledged so eloquently demonstrates, the only thing better than reading a Jane Austen novel is finding in our own lives her humor, emotion, and love.”

7. Eating all your chocolates in your Advent calendar at once
8. The smell of a fresh Christmas tree
9. Pulling out that old box of Christmas ornaments from when you were a kid
10. Finally finding the start of the roll of tape
11. Eating the first freshly baked cookie from the oven even though it’s way too hot
12. Forgetting you ordered a gift online and having it randomly show up
13. Just barely wrapping a gift with that tiny scrap of leftover paper
14. Nailing the perfect move in a Board game on Christmas Eve
15. When the Christmas tree gives the only light in the room
16. Waking up and realizing it is Christmas!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones

Salute to Vienna

2011-12-20T14:27:00.000-07:00

My desire to go to the concert of Salute to Vienna starts from the moment I found its brochure in Toronto on our vacation at the end of October. We decided to make it as the entertainment of the start of a new year at that time. However, as my husband's busy work schedule, we postponed the plan again and again. On the website, it is said that it will be presented by the finest local musicians, dancers and singers, which makes me so eager to check it out!

Hope I still have the chance to go!!

I don't want to miss it.
