Normally, a one-way valve at the bottom of the esophagus makes sure that whatever goes down doesn&#39;t come back up. Acid reflux occurs when this valve opens spontaneously and the contents of your stomach make a break for your throat, leaving your tongue coated in digestive acids and you with a serious case of Godzilla breath. Most reflux can be treated with OTC antacids or simply by avoiding acidic and spicy foods; if those measures don&#39;t work, see your doctor. You may need prescription meds to reduce your body&#39;s production of stomach acid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Nails:&lt;br /&gt;If you see dark lines on the nail beds&lt;br /&gt;Texas-sized moles aren&#39;t the only red flags for skin cancer—the disease can also develop under your nails. Yellowish, brown, or black stripes are a sign of cell damage, possibly from melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, says Ariel Ostad, M.D., a dermatologist in New York City. With early detection and treatment, though, about 95 percent of cases are curable, so have your dermatologist take a second look.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you see bright white stripes&lt;br /&gt;Everyone gets white spots on their nails from time to time (usually it&#39;s a sign that you banged your finger in a drawer), but if you see long horizontal bands of discoloration on the nail&#39;s surface and you&#39;ve been feeling fatigued lately, it could be bad news for your kidneys. &quot;These bands can be a signal that the kidneys aren&#39;t able to filter out protein from your urine,&quot; Ostad says. That means your body is losing protein faster than you can shovel in filet mignon—and that can lead to kidney failure. Visit your doctor ASAP for a urine test.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Armpits:&lt;br /&gt;If you see a patch of rough, dark skin&lt;br /&gt;Unless you&#39;ve been going overboard with the self-tanner, you could have diabetes, says Michael Smith, M.D., WebMD&#39;s chief medical editor. Excess insulin in your bloodstream can cause skin cells to multiply abnormally fast, leading to a buildup of tissue and melanin. This makes the skin look darker and feel thicker. &quot;It most commonly occurs in the armpits, neck, or groin,&quot; Smith says. A simple blood test can determine whether you have the disease, which affects about 24 million Americans—nearly a quarter of whom are undiagnosed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Eyelids, Knees, And Elbows:&lt;br /&gt;If you see small, soft lumps that look white or waxy&lt;br /&gt;The good news: It&#39;s not a zit. The bad news: These are small deposits of cholesterol, Smith says. Unfortunately, &quot;by the time they appear, your cholesterol levels are probably sky high; this is a serious risk factor for heart disease.&quot; Yet reducing your numbers by just 10 percent slashes that risk by as much as a third. See your doctor for a cholesterol check, and ask her about lifestyle changes or prescription drugs that can get your levels down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Scalp:&lt;br /&gt;If you see thinning hair&lt;br /&gt;Could you fashion one of Britney&#39;s weaves out of the hair clogging your drain? Excessive hair loss is a common indicator of a thyroid disorder, which affects about 10 percent of American women. When your thyroid (a gland in the middle of your neck) is out of whack, it can disrupt the balance of male and female sex hormones. The result: More strands in your brush and hair that feels coarse and brittle, says Sandra Fryhofer, M.D., a physician in private practice in Atlanta. Your doc can measure the amount of thyroid-stimulating hormone in your blood—if you have too much or too little, you&#39;ll need medication to regulate it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you see your scalp shedding like a snake&lt;br /&gt;If skin flakes have suddenly made your shoulders look like the Alps in February, it could be due to your to-do list. &quot;An intense load of stress causes your body to produce excess amounts of the hormone cortisol,&quot; Ostad says. &quot;In addition to wreaking havoc on your immune system (making you more vulnerable to colds) and your metabolism (making you pack on pounds), cortisol can also dry out your scalp.&quot; A drugstore dandruff shampoo will deflake your locks, but unless you want a permanent case of shoulder snow, try to get more sleep, breathe more deeply, and loosen up your overpacked schedule. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Belly:&lt;br /&gt;If you see thick, dark hair (or stubble) in a diamond shape&lt;br /&gt;Is that forest sprouting on your abs thick enough to hide a family of hobbits? Dense, coarse hair that extends up toward your belly button (rather than growing downward from the top of the pubic bone) could be a sign of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), says Pamela Berens, M.D., an ob-gyn at the University of Texas Medical School. Caused by overproduction of androgens, the condition can lead to irregular or heavy periods, weight gain, acne, and thick, dark hair on the belly, face, chest, and back. As many as one in 10 women have PCOS, which can be a risk factor for serious problems like infertility and heart disease. If you have symptoms, see your ob-gyn; she might prescribe birth control pills to get your hormones back in check.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Eyes:&lt;br /&gt;If you see undereye circles that won&#39;t go away&lt;br /&gt;Unless you&#39;ve taken a second job at the midnight trucking radio network, a sudden onset of dark rings could be chalked up to allergies. The chain reaction, according to Ostad, goes like this: An allergen hits your body, which in response releases histamine; this chemical makes blood vessels swell with blood and other fluids, and voila: Dark patches show up where the skin is thinnest. A skin test can determine which allergen is causing your symptoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you see a yellowish bump on your eyeball&lt;br /&gt;No, you haven&#39;t developed a rare case of optic acne. Instead, a slightly raised nodule on the white of your eye is a symptom of a harmless condition called pinguecula. &quot;It&#39;s nothing more than an overgrowth of collagen triggered by damage from sun, wind, or dust,&quot; says Traci Goldstein, an optometrist at Metropolitan Vision Correction Associates in New York City. Keep your eyes moist with lubricating drops and don shades anytime you&#39;re outdoors (make sure your specs offer 100 percent protection against UVA and UVB rays) to prevent the bump from growing larger.</description><link>http://cz-a-rr-mae.blogspot.com/2011/05/self-checks-to-do-before-breakfast.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (czarrmae)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122227724827225709.post-8603768723364808617</guid><pubDate>Tue, 17 Aug 2010 19:48:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-08-17T12:51:01.869-07:00</atom:updated><title>6 Best Foods for Healthy Skin</title><description>. SALMON&lt;br /&gt;Salmon is an ideal food for many reasons, but as far as your skin’s concerned, there’s only one that matters: It’s among the world’s greatest sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Those are the essential fats that, along with bolstering the cognitive powers of your brain, concentrate in the walls of your epidermal cells to help lock in moisture. Plus, in one study, researchers supplemented two groups of mice with either omega-3 or omega-6 fats. After two weeks, the skin of the omega-3-fed group exhibited a 20 percent faster recovery rate from exposure to ultraviolet light. That gives salmon two crucial skin boons: keeping your skin from looking dry and helping it battle the dangers of excessive sunlight. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other omega-3 foods: sardines, walnuts, flaxseed &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. CARROTS&lt;br /&gt;Carrots are teeming with tiny orange pigments called beta-carotene, and when you ingest those pigments, you’re inviting them to nestle into your skin, fill in blotches, and give you a healthy glow. And what’s more, research shows that this can actually help prevent premature aging from sun damage. But is the accumulation of orange in your skin going to make you look like an extra from Jersey Shore? Well, hopefully not. But eating excessive loads of carotene-rich foods can lead to a condition called carotenosis, wherein your skin stops looking healthy and starts looking, well, orange. But the conditions is rare, so unless you notice yourself turning into a prison jumpsuit, feel free to chow down. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other beta-carotene foods: sweet potatoes, red bell peppers, red grapefruit&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. AVOCADO&lt;br /&gt;One study published by The Journal of the American College of Nutrition found that people with higher intakes of olive oil had fewer wrinkles than people with higher intakes of butter. The reason: Butter is loaded with saturated fat, while olive oil is rich in monounsaturates, the same essential fats that make up more than 50% of the calories in an avocado. So why eat avocado over olive oil? Both are good, but avocados have the added bonus of B vitamins, which also help to keep your skin looking vibrant and smooth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other monounsaturated-fat foods: olive oil, almonds, peanut butter &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. BEANS&lt;br /&gt;Legumes, to be more precise. This is the class of plants that includes black beans, chickpeas, lentils, soybeans, and peanuts. And how do these puny pods protect your face? By smoothing out wrinkles. Australian researchers analyzed the diets of more than 400 elderly men and women and found that high intakes of legumes—alongside vegetables and healthy fats—resulted in 20% fewer wrinkles over time. The effect is likely a result of isoflavones—potent antioxidants—concentrated in the beans. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other isoflavone-rich foods: alfalfa, tempeh, tofu&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. GRAPES&lt;br /&gt;Besides providing protection from heart attack and stroke, antioxidants called polyphenols found in grapes can also help keep middle-aged skin from sagging. That’s because polyphenols improve skin’s elasticity by strengthening collagen, the primary protein in skin’s innermost layer. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Other polyphenol-rich foods: grape juice, blueberries&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. WATER&lt;br /&gt;Okay, it’s not as fun to drink as wine, but water is the strongest weapon you have against lifeless skin. That’s why they call it “moisturizing”—because you’re trying to lock moisture, aka water, into your skin. To put it broadly, all the body’s processes rely on hydration, so if you’re not sipping throughout the day, you’re likely to have a slower metabolism, groggier head, and, yes, drier skin. One study suggested that it takes a mere half-liter of water to create a measurable increase in the capillary blood flow to your body’s outer layer. That’s just over 16 ounces. Try doing that a few times a day and you’ll have a face like a baby’s bottom in no time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other water-rich foods: watermelon, peaches, celery</description><link>http://cz-a-rr-mae.blogspot.com/2010/08/6-best-foods-for-healthy-skin.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (czarrmae)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122227724827225709.post-5939317904383036072</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Apr 2010 17:56:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-04-01T11:37:18.981-07:00</atom:updated><title>Favorite Quotes Part II</title><description>Watch your thoughts, they become your words Watch your words, they become your actions Watch your actions, they become your habits Watch your habits, they become your character Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.&lt;br /&gt;Anonymous &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday is history.

We don&#39;t really have plans for her birthday so we consulted it to the celebrant on what she wants. And what she said is she wants to go to the mountain and to play on the snow. My husbands Aunt&#39;s and Uncle were here at the time so at least we have company not just us. We had so much fun and for a change and i could say it is a great idea. We just bought cake for her and some foods, i didn&#39;t prepare anything which is great :). Well one thing is my visitor watched what they were eating and they don&#39;t eat much and my husband and i don&#39;t want to end up eating what is left. Well we had so much fun sledding and having a party picnic at Prescott for a whole day and have a nice outdoor visit cause we stopped at Yarnell on the way home, there is a nice park that we liked over there. The next day the celebration is not over yet, we went to the Red Lobster for Richelle&#39;s birthday dinner. She is very friendly to the waitress, i think they get along pretty good. I a m so proud of her.. Her Aunt bought her a 2 brain quest booklet and she is doing great on it. Her Aunt says that she passed with flaying colors and that is for 4-5 toddlers.She said that Richelle is ready for 1st grade(her Aunt is a retired Elementary Teacher). I know i didn&#39;t teach her some of it. She learned it from the PBS kids on her computer and on TV.I could say that i recommend it to all the kids and it&#39;s a pretty good baby sitter hehe. She&#39;s gonna start pre-school next year well see, i know she&#39;s going to love it.</description><link>http://cz-a-rr-mae.blogspot.com/2010/03/richelle-turns-4.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (czarrmae)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIEqxQRI3XCFqBkIVkufBdKBVB8z93UFPzmK0NfUgN4w2esIkrTkx2gexf72AU3gbwXFv4YoMPaJi8VmHmwKNPkebRYlnA2RbqRXkkB5qU0aR9ZPKBA8n_BVL8I9l8RpCdVhQYprOXLSfY/s72-c/pic030310bday07.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122227724827225709.post-7193265872876229463</guid><pubDate>Sun, 07 Mar 2010 00:07:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-03-06T16:27:05.991-08:00</atom:updated><title>Mark Your Calendars: What&#39;s on Sale When</title><description>This is for all the shopaholic out there including me. For us to get a better price and discount this is helpful on when to buy a certain item in a lesser price. Have you notice whenever there is a season coming most stores packed with items fit for that season and when it is over their almost giving away on what is left for a cheaper price? And have you notice a lot of people are waiting for that time to buy for it even the season is already over? They&#39;ll buy it for the next year. So check this out and be sure to take a note ;).

But it turns out it&#39;s something you have to choose to do.  ~From the television show Scrubs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just be ordinary and nothing special.  Eat your food, move your bowels, pass water, and when you&#39;re tired, go and lie down.  The ignorant will laugh at me, but the wise will understand.  ~Bruce Lee&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never make your home in a place.  Make a home for yourself inside your own head.  You&#39;ll find what you need to furnish it - memory, friends you can trust, love of learning, and other such things.  That way it will go with you wherever you journey.  ~Tad Williams&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Live life fully while you&#39;re here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You&#39;re going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don&#39;t try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human. - Anthony Robbins&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day at a time--this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering. - Author Unknown&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”Charles R. Swindoll&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let the person know how you feel.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”Howard Thurman&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Stand still... and refuse to retreat. Look at it as God looks at it and draw upon His power to hold up under the blast.”Charles R. Swindoll&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;Melody Beattie&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain&#39;t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But, it ain&#39;t how hard you hit; it&#39;s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That&#39;s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you&#39;re worth, then go out and get what you&#39;re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain&#39;t where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain&#39;t you. You&#39;re better than that!&quot;&quot;Rocky Balboa&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;What is a friend? I will tell you. It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself. Your soul can be naked with him. He seems to ask of you to put on nothing, only to be what you are. He does not want you to be better or worse. When you are with him, you feel as a prisoner feels who has been declared innocent. You do not have to be on your guard. You can say what you think, so long as it is genuinely you. He understands those contradictions in your nature that lead others to misjudge you. With him you breathe freely. You can avow your little vanities and envies and hates and vicious sparks, your meannesses and absurdities and, in opening them up to him, they are lost, dissolved on the white ocean of his loyalty. He understands. You do not have to be careful. You can abuse him, neglect him, tolerate him. Best of all, you can keep still with him. It makes no matter. He likes you. He is like fire that purges to the bone. He understands. You can weep with him, sin with him, laugh with him, pray with him. Through it all - and underneath - he sees, knows and loves you.&lt;br /&gt;A friend? What is a friend?&lt;br /&gt;Just one, I repeat, with whom you dare to be yourself.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;-C. Raymond Beran &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong. &lt;br /&gt;Abraham Lincoln &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, &quot;I used everything you gave me.&quot;  ~Erma Bombeck&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don&#39;t think of retiring from the world until the world will be sorry that you retire.  I hate a fellow whom pride or cowardice or laziness drive into a corner, and who does nothing when he is there but sit and growl.  Let him come out as I do, and bark.  ~Samuel Johnson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps we are looking at this from a wrong perspective; this search for the truth, the meaning of life, the reason of God.  We all have this mindset that the answers are so complex and so vast that it is almost impossible to comprehend.  I think, on the contrary, that the answers are so simple; so simple that it is staring us straight in the face, screaming its lungs out, and yet we fail to notice it.  We&#39;re looking through a telescope, searching the stars for the answer, when the answer is actually a speck of dirt on the telescope lens.  ~Jason Q., from generationterrorists.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t say you love me unless you really mean it, because I might do something crazy like believe it.&lt;br /&gt;~Crush&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.Booker T.

I am more interested on the avocado as a moisturizer. I&#39;m going to try this sometime. It is really important moisturizing the skin cause dryness can cause aging and you know how it is when you&#39;re getting old. So keep away from those stress it can cause wrinkles and not too much sunshine it can cause dryness and become wrinkles eventually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Powder Your Roots&lt;br /&gt;If your hairline starts to look greasy, dig up a big, fluffy makeup brush, and dip it into a pot of loose powder. Tap it once on the back of your hand to remove the excess, then dust it over your roots. It mops up oil and blends into your strands, so no one will know you didn&#39;t shower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Scent Strands with Perfume&lt;br /&gt;Spray a light shot of fragrance into your brush&#39;s bristles. Run it through strands from roots to ends and your hair will smell amazing throughout the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Cure Calluses with Vaseline&lt;br /&gt;Slather on the petroleum jelly, and put on socks before bed to dissolve tough calluses overnight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Spot-Treat Smudges&lt;br /&gt;Dip a cotton swab in eye-makeup remover, and trace it along your lids to erase any slipups or goofs when there&#39;s no time to redo your whole look.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Fix a Flushed Face&lt;br /&gt;If you turn red and stay that way after exercising (like seriously red for hours, even though you&#39;re healthy and hydrated), take an antihistamine like Benadryl when you leave the gym to reduce redness. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) Soften Your Bod with Avocado&lt;br /&gt;Take a ripe avocado, remove the pit and skin, and mash it up in a bowl. Slather it all over your body, let it sit for 20 minutes, then rinse off. Your skin will be sooo soft — avocado is a natural moisturizer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) Super-Glue a Nail&lt;br /&gt;Instead of tearing off your nail when it breaks, put a tiny dab of Super Glue over the split, and paint a generous layer of your favorite nail polish shade over it. Go for an opaque option (like red, purple, or coral) to camouflage and seal the crack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8) Use Makeup Remover on Stubborn Lipstick&lt;br /&gt;Don&#39;t try to rub off red lipstick (which makes it smear across your mouth — not so sexy). Instead, take a cotton ball or tissue, dip it in makeup remover, and just dab to erase the dark stain fast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9) Tame Brows with Eye Cream&lt;br /&gt;Pat any kind of rich eye cream over brows to help keep them hydrated and banish those icky white specks that look like dandruff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10) Buff with Baking Soda&lt;br /&gt;If you find yourself streaking (not glowing) after applying self-tanner, put some baking soda on a loofah, and scrub away the stripes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11) Brush on Hair Spray&lt;br /&gt;For the final step of your blow-dry, spray hair spray onto your brush, and run it through strands from roots to tips. This way, your &#39;do isn&#39;t plastered and stiff but still holds volume and shine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12) Boost Body Lotion with Baby Oil&lt;br /&gt;If you&#39;re craving shiny legs that aren&#39;t greasy, blend a drop of baby oil into your normal body lotion for extra luster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13) Dab Essential Oil on a Hangnail&lt;br /&gt;Put on apricot oil, the kind found in health-food stores, to protect cuticles from turning rough and raggedy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14) Quell a Cold Sore with Cream&lt;br /&gt;When a cold sore is coming on, dab a bit of thick moisturizer, like Aquaphor, over it to prevent it from getting worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15) Freeze Your Eyeliner&lt;br /&gt;If the tip of your eyeliner pencil crumbles and smears on your lids, store the liner in the freezer for 15 minutes before use so the tip is firm and goes across your skin smoothly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16) Use Toothpaste on a Zit&lt;br /&gt;Use just a pea-size amount. Let sit for 15 minutes to absorb the oil so the pimple won&#39;t get more clogged, then wash off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17) Heat Up Your Curler&lt;br /&gt;If you have stick-straight lashes, try blasting your metal eyelash curler with a hair dryer for a couple of seconds to heat it up so your lashes bend more easily. And use a waterproof mascara. The formula dries faster than other mascaras, so it sets the curl more effectively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18) Use Soap Without Water&lt;br /&gt;You know those fancy bars that are actually too pretty to use? Toss them in your underwear or tee-shirt drawers to make your skin smell delicious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19) Groom Brows with a Toothbrush&lt;br /&gt;Mist an (unused!) toothbrush or eyebrow comb with hair spray to help flatten and tame unruly brows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20) Put Diaper-Rash Cream on Dry Spots&lt;br /&gt;Slather on a thick layer of diaper-rash cream to heal cracked elbows and feet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21) Lubricate Your Lashes&lt;br /&gt;An easy way to draw attention to your eyes without putting on a pile of makeup is to comb petroleum jelly lightly through the tips of eyelashes to get a sexy, subtle sparkle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;22) Steamroll Flyaways&lt;br /&gt;Spray on hair spray, then roll the can over your strands. The round bottle fits the curved shape of your head, locks in the spray, and flattens out frizz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;23) Spike Lotion with Bronzer&lt;br /&gt;If you don&#39;t have time to book a self-tanning session, mix a few pumps of body bronzer with regular hand lotion and pat it on your legs for a gradual dose of sexy, beachy color.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;24) Air-Dry Your Curls&lt;br /&gt;Let your hair dry indoors before going out in the cold. The curls will be really bouncy and piecey-perfect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;25) Press a Tea Bag on Splotches&lt;br /&gt;If your skin is sensitive or just looking irritated and puffy for some reason, steep a bag of green tea for a minute or two, let it cool down, and dab it over your face. The antioxidants in the tea take down inflammation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;26) Shave with Conditioner&lt;br /&gt;Ran out of shaving cream? Do double duty by coating your stems with a thick hair conditioner. It softens the hair so it&#39;s easier to shave off and makes legs feel amazingly silky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;27) Amp Shine with Vinegar&lt;br /&gt;Mix one part vinegar with four parts carbonated water, and soak dry hair. Leave on for 15 minutes before you shampoo to lock in shine and combat dullness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;28) Exfoliate Your Pits&lt;br /&gt;If your underarms start to look dry and flaky, an easy trick is to exfoliate them with a gentle face scrub to keep that skin pretty when going sleeveless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;29) Customize Your Body Lotion&lt;br /&gt;Instead of shelling out for an expensive perfumed body product, you can make your own by pouring a few drops of fragrance into any scent-free lotion. Rub it on — the scent will last for hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;30) &quot;Brush&quot; with Mouthwash&lt;br /&gt;If you&#39;re too wiped out after a late night of partying to clean your teeth, rinse with water and mouthwash, then use a dry toothbrush on the area where your teeth hit your gums.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;31) Make an Egg-White Mask&lt;br /&gt;To revive tired, dull skin without hitting the spa table, try this: Crack open an egg in a bowl, separate the yolk, and use the egg whites to make a face mask. The proteins help to heal and restore skin&#39;s moisture. Leave it on for five minutes, then rinse off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;32) Dry Sensitive Skin with T.P.&lt;br /&gt;Instead of drying your face with a scratchy towel, pat with toilet paper — it&#39;s ultrasoft on delicate skin (and bums</description><link>http://cz-a-rr-mae.blogspot.com/2010/01/wacky-beauty-tips-that-work.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (czarrmae)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122227724827225709.post-7701649763793102065</guid><pubDate>Sun, 10 Jan 2010 15:20:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-10T07:34:10.429-08:00</atom:updated><title>Realization about our Dog‏</title><description>It&#39;s not that i have a dog and i am a dog lover too.

You know in this economy a little extra earnings is great. I know there alot of people who were unemployed right now this is helpful too for the meantime while looking for a job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. The Open Network&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An open network offers a ready-built home for freelance writers to post articles on an infinite variety of useful or interesting subjects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Associated Content, one of the largest and best known freelance networks, syndicates and custom-creates Editorial content, in text, video, image and audio forms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It claims to be adding 5,000 articles a week to a database of more than 1 million articles on a vast range of subjects -- from curious facts about Abraham Lincoln to tips on easing your dog&#39;s separation anxiety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That database was built by freelancers, who are paid a measly $3 to $15 per story but make an additional small sum based on user clicks, starting at $1.50 for every 1,000 page views. You can get a raise on that rate for page views as your output and audience grow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The key to racking up page views is to write about something that interests everybody, like love or money. Or, write about a subject that interests many people intensely -- like parenting or World War II.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Answers On Demand&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On-demand services connect people with an immediate need for information with experts who can supply that information. It&#39;s a one-on-one service, conducted over chat or via email for a fee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LivePerson.com boasts 30,000 experts who are &quot;ready to chat&quot; on subjects from personal growth to small business solutions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some experts are lurking online, ready to jump in to answer your question, and others can be scheduled ahead for a one-on-one. The fee is set by the expert, anywhere from 50 cents to $5 per minute, about 45 percent of which goes to LivePerson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Advice about &quot;personal relationships&quot; is clearly a money-maker here, although you can find a Web designer, a homework coach or a cosmetologist when you want one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The vetting process includes licenses for professions that require them, like doctors and lawyers. All experts&#39; resumes are available to prospective clients.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But once online, the experts live or die by client ratings which are, in the great tradition of the Internet, brutally honest. And in this world of pay-per-minute, the reviews cover typing speed as well as communication skills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JustAnswer.com has an even simpler system. Got a problem? Just describe it, and indicate how much you&#39;re willing to pay for an answer. One of the experts will get back to you fast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Experts run the gamut from veterinarians and attorneys to mechanics and computer repair people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A quick glance through current questions reveals that many people are baffled by their electronic equipment, their cars and their puppies. Also, many students want somebody to write their term papers for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A new site out of Nashville, called Moontoast, wants to carry the concept to the next step and arrange actual face-to-face video and audio confrontations between expert and client. (Scary!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Expected to launch soon, the site is bankrolled by country music stars and inspired by a musician&#39;s need to hear information, not just read it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Crowd-Sourcing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the ultimate piece-work for the digital age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Crowd-sourcing&quot; takes a big, ugly, often repetitive task and hacks it into small bits to be assigned to many people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Say you are publishing a restaurant reservation directory, and every phone number has to be checked. How do you get it done? Try &quot;crowd-sourcing&quot; it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MechanicalTurk.com, owned by Amazon, currently has almost 700 projects up for grabs, each divided into hundreds or thousands of &quot;human intelligence tasks.&quot; Each task pays literally pennies -- from 1 cent to maybe 20 cents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lab needs information on 98 Web sites, for 10 cents a pop. Somebody is collecting data on 50 baseball players, for 9 cents each. Zappos wants people to edit product reviews for a nickel each. You might even see positions for big-time names like Google or Yahoo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You grab a task, complete it and submit it for approval. As soon as it&#39;s approved, your payment gets transferred from the requester&#39;s Amazon Payments account to yours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you can stand it, you could sit at your computer all day banging these things out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An experienced professional could get very bitter writing abstracts of technology news for a nickel each. But an under-employed college grad might greatly prefer it to flipping burgers, and it looks better on a resume.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More rarefied versions of crowd-sourcing are available at specialized freelance sites. DesignBay.com offers designers the chance to submit their work in online &quot;contests&quot; for posted projects. The odd jobs, most paying a couple of hundred dollars, come in from around the world, from small businesses and individuals who need logos or fliers, banner ads and posters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Crowd-sourcing hits its low point in sites that pay people to &quot;play around on the Internet.&quot; Put bluntly, they&#39;re falsifying usage data by goosing the number of unique hits on Web sites or banner ads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CAUTION: The Age-Old Scam&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Old scams never die. They just move onto the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If an ad promises you can make $50,000 a week clicking on Web sites, they&#39;re lying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a company wants you to pay upfront for a kit, or a book, or anything else, don&#39;t do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are plenty of legitimate businesses in this game, and they make their money by helping you make money.</description><link>http://cz-a-rr-mae.blogspot.com/2009/09/ways-to-make-money-from-home-in-your.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (czarrmae)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122227724827225709.post-6793966045592845577</guid><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2009 22:03:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-20T11:15:31.669-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Jokes</category><title>Filipino Jokes</title><description>This is from my batch mate in high school she posted this on the friendster&#39;s bulletin.

One warm day in Phoenix every time every summer always warm. But today we went to Lake Pleasant for some splashing&#39;. Lake Pleasant is not really too bad and just pay $5 entrance, is just that some people bringing their dogs and just crapping around it&#39;s so frustrating. Good thing today water is not too high so we drove farther few more hills we&#39;ve passed till we found the nice spot.It&#39;s a wide lake so you can have your own spot. It&#39;s a nice place for outings and only abouts 20 mins drive from the house. Pick up some snacking like delis and bakery in bashas and you are good to go. We have so much fun today and Richelle was enjoying too. There are few people over there for Tuesday, boating, skiing, fishing. The water is just right and it&#39;s cloudy around so not so much sun. We thought that it&#39;s gonna be hot so the plan is not to stay for a long time but when we got there the weather is just right so we stayed for a while.</description><link>http://cz-a-rr-mae.blogspot.com/2009/08/fun-fun-fun-under-sun-sun-sun.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (czarrmae)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo-5N81UXXVyrrxvKSM5Up07Wex_g1lZfTPbsFtrgbO7zULxTA4JSd4n44SJZ7dIyYZgXQ1PlDHMjqiODa1u1LPNETK-1esCwPyLPacRyzJRwnGO_I95ahGHFrSVX4dzQ2DVuY0e6D9Z31/s72-c/lakepleasant02.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122227724827225709.post-4074080827647161078</guid><pubDate>Sun, 16 Aug 2009 23:37:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-16T16:55:40.342-07:00</atom:updated><title>Tiger Lost</title><description>I feel sad as a Tiger fan but then again not all the time is his time. He is been a great golf player, won alot of major, shows some great stroke, loved by many and hate by some. It&#39;s really disappointing when you lost when you are always on the top but don&#39;t be so upset Tiger you have to share some victory to others too. To Yang congrats on an unexpected and well deserved victory. I&#39;ve watched the game and you played great.</description><link>http://cz-a-rr-mae.blogspot.com/2009/08/tiger-lost.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (czarrmae)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122227724827225709.post-22713461268473517</guid><pubDate>Sun, 16 Aug 2009 00:59:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-15T18:09:44.573-07:00</atom:updated><title>Foods Every Woman Must Eat</title><description>Berries&lt;br /&gt;Why: Ounce for ounce, berries have more protective plant antioxidants than almost any other food. &quot;These compounds not only lower your disease risks, they help prevent memory loss,&quot; says Somer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How Much: Aim for a cup of berries—any berries, fresh or frozen—at least three times a week (berry researchers say eat a cup daily). Since berries are high in fill-you-up fiber, they may also help curb weight gain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toss them in salads.&lt;br /&gt;Snack on them one by one, like healthy potato chips.&lt;br /&gt;Add them to yogurt, cereal, and smoothies.&lt;br /&gt;Stir them into anything you bake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salmon&lt;br /&gt;Why: Sure, salmon is a prime source of omega-3s, the healthy fats that fend off heart disease and maybe more, but are you aware that a mere 3 ounces of the fish serves up 170 percent of your daily vitamin B12 and more than 80 percent of your D?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How Much: Aim for two servings a week (and if you substitute tuna for one serving, that&#39;s OK).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Broil, bake, or poach it with dill.&lt;br /&gt;Toss it into pasta dishes and salads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you&#39;re vegetarian or just not a fish eater, get the key omega-3 fat called DHA in:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Silk Plus Omega-3 DHA Soymilk&lt;br /&gt;Horizon Organic Milk Plus DHA&lt;br /&gt;Oh Mama! Nutrition Bars&lt;br /&gt;Gold Circle Farm Eggs&lt;br /&gt;Rachel&#39;s Wickedly Delicious Yogurts&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leafy Greens&lt;br /&gt;Why: It&#39;s almost impossible to meet your nutritional needs without eating dark leafy greens, from spinach and romaine to collard greens and chard. They&#39;re huge sources of fiber; vitamins C and K; folic acid (a B vitamin that guards the heart and memory and fights birth defects); lutein, a vision protector; and four essential minerals: calcium, magnesium, iron, and potassium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How Much: Two servings a day—and the darker, the better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Add arugula to your sandwich. &lt;br /&gt;Layer chard into lasagna. &lt;br /&gt;Fold spinach into omelets. &lt;br /&gt;Add any green to stir-fries, pasta dishes, and soup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whole Grains&lt;br /&gt;Why: They have up to 96 percent more fiber, magnesium, zinc, chromium, and vitamins E and B6 than refined grains. This nutritional powerhouse helps prevent the same health problems that refined grains help cause: heart disease, cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and even obesity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How Much: Ideally, all of the six daily grain servings you need should be whole, unrefined grains, but aim for at least three.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Start your day with oatmeal or whole-grain cold cereal.&lt;br /&gt;Use 100 percent whole-wheat bread for toast and sandwiches.&lt;br /&gt;Switch to whole-wheat couscous and pasta.&lt;br /&gt;Opt for brown rice (instant is fine), whole-grain pretzels, even whole-wheat tortillas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nuts&lt;br /&gt;Why: They&#39;re excellent sources of protein, magnesium, and B and E vitamins—trusty fighters in the war against heart disease and cancer. Yes, nuts are high in fat calories, but their fat is the heart-healthy kind. Replace junky snacks with them and you won&#39;t gain an ounce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How Much: Up to five small fistfuls a week (roughly a quarter cup or about 15–20 almonds, cashews, walnuts, or pecans).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sprinkle plain or toasted nuts instead of croutons on salads.&lt;br /&gt;Mix them into cooked couscous and brown rice.&lt;br /&gt;Stir them into cereal and yogurt.&lt;br /&gt;Use them to garnish a stir-fry just before serving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Golden Veggies&lt;br /&gt;Why: Just one serving of fiber-filled, deep-yellow-orange vegetables supplies five times the beta carotene you need daily to lower your cancer risk, defend against colds and other infections, and protect your skin from sun damage. The potassium in these veggies also keeps your heartbeat in sync and your blood pressure down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How Much: Aim for two half-cup servings a day, the equivalent of one sweet potato, 12 canned apricot halves, or a cup of butternut squash or carrots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How: Try this sweet potato quickie from Somer&#39;s The Food &amp; Mood Cookbook:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cajun Sweet Potatoes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.&lt;br /&gt;Cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch thick slices, and toss with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, and freshly ground pepper.&lt;br /&gt;Bake for 25 minutes or until lightly brown and cooked through, but still slightly crunchy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yogurt&lt;br /&gt;Why: Low- or no-fat plain yogurt is a terrific source of B vitamins, protein, calcium and—if it has active cultures—the healthy bacteria known as probiotics, which crowd out disease-causing germs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How Much: Four or more cups a week, if this is your main dairy source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How: Cut back on sugar and calories by choosing plain yogurt and adding fruit, especially berries, and some granola. Or be more inventive:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mix a dash of vanilla and chopped mint into yogurt and dollop on fruit.&lt;br /&gt;Use yogurt instead of sour cream for dips, sauces, and salad dressings.&lt;br /&gt;Top baked potatoes with yogurt and chives.&lt;br /&gt;Thicken sauces and make soups &quot;creamy&quot; with yogurt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its medical school has found that women who routinely nibble nutritious foods slash their risk of dying from the usual culprits, including heart disease and cancer. There is no harm on believing this cause this were nutritious foods so this at the same time leads you to the right way. Most often there are more fat women that men so this is one way showing what the right food to eat... Just my thought.</description><link>http://cz-a-rr-mae.blogspot.com/2009/08/foods-every-woman-must-eat.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (czarrmae)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122227724827225709.post-6762620846059086117</guid><pubDate>Sat, 15 Aug 2009 20:35:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-15T13:55:03.366-07:00</atom:updated><title>Exploring Alpine Arizona</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPmx5H9Ot__ZPLw6vnY3mBwO84SJIdo6xHjuAbyhp5MWu5AoYZzFkwlH6XNz-nroFWneAWVacDW0BA-M-D4WbJk-XsEMAM6der0PPj5FYtXKrHZoALIDSutEjs3k17NiMMyKfEh7JSNDjR/s1600-h/roadtripaug456011.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 297px; height: 320px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPmx5H9Ot__ZPLw6vnY3mBwO84SJIdo6xHjuAbyhp5MWu5AoYZzFkwlH6XNz-nroFWneAWVacDW0BA-M-D4WbJk-XsEMAM6der0PPj5FYtXKrHZoALIDSutEjs3k17NiMMyKfEh7JSNDjR/s320/roadtripaug456011.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370295903165405490&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh45_OhOqcfj4JbYfNU1N0gQUJNMmPjxvmXmLExLvoI41Q3fS2ilkfZKe9fSruny0xnITaSHQ-2m1cJrgOQFBoBCiJZ4MLTT_Gdk-191VEISXE6IXYNrwq_xqRii0ehbNRaQv-cCElWGj6x/s1600-h/roadtripaug456012.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 210px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh45_OhOqcfj4JbYfNU1N0gQUJNMmPjxvmXmLExLvoI41Q3fS2ilkfZKe9fSruny0xnITaSHQ-2m1cJrgOQFBoBCiJZ4MLTT_Gdk-191VEISXE6IXYNrwq_xqRii0ehbNRaQv-cCElWGj6x/s320/roadtripaug456012.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370295894473691010&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrxt3EO6SwFzMDEMgLHVyjlhLUZsKAmwqCF6cldjSULxN7SZT9D4fwCoFkfIZyHWIcc-K8UoboshAxQdGkXG5DjDkzSI9DmhlkBU01pDpfr-LGcGRv_fCS3XnOfu7x9Cg3RK5gFFFwsy1r/s1600-h/roadtripalpine026.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrxt3EO6SwFzMDEMgLHVyjlhLUZsKAmwqCF6cldjSULxN7SZT9D4fwCoFkfIZyHWIcc-K8UoboshAxQdGkXG5DjDkzSI9DmhlkBU01pDpfr-LGcGRv_fCS3XnOfu7x9Cg3RK5gFFFwsy1r/s320/roadtripalpine026.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370295886034019138&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXLPkJLsYkcwr7bECxyNB1gkI-An2rp1tlRrM27Hyozb3TvqNBY-AGd0YB1gP1dWgSjOpiotUtkYnfKlzRYjZME13B4-Lx-YsISNd9aeUUERM6cTSqAec9nNnaCO4dHRDi0JBaw-IWVD3W/s1600-h/roadtripaug456013.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 208px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXLPkJLsYkcwr7bECxyNB1gkI-An2rp1tlRrM27Hyozb3TvqNBY-AGd0YB1gP1dWgSjOpiotUtkYnfKlzRYjZME13B4-Lx-YsISNd9aeUUERM6cTSqAec9nNnaCO4dHRDi0JBaw-IWVD3W/s320/roadtripaug456013.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370295874197874978&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSDMVh0Di8LkARgTSLX6RFblPu8xVC8vSNmThzF845Fkatb7WSFATVeCRj0ajrlpfqi1v9t0q8ZuT-jc1bi8aPt5HWLxegZdbyuPKpsfAdrmgMpjlLeStrgdBeGxmR-iIfTOywdQa8A3_o/s1600-h/roadtripaug456019.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSDMVh0Di8LkARgTSLX6RFblPu8xVC8vSNmThzF845Fkatb7WSFATVeCRj0ajrlpfqi1v9t0q8ZuT-jc1bi8aPt5HWLxegZdbyuPKpsfAdrmgMpjlLeStrgdBeGxmR-iIfTOywdQa8A3_o/s320/roadtripaug456019.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370295867491675666&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Phoenix to Alpine it took us approximately 5 hours drive with some few stops &lt;br /&gt;along the way. This is last August 4-6,2009... We took a dive going to the white mountains AZ and stays at Alpine AZ.&lt;br /&gt;Alpine, in a word was amazing, fresh air, cool temps, pine trees lots of pine trees and great views. We had made a reservations at the Sportsmans Lodge so the first thing we did upon arrival was to check in there. Very nice remodeled room , comfortable beds, nicely tiled bathroom and shower, clean room with cable and WiFi. The only minus, in the room we were in at least, we couldn&#39;t pick up the WiFi signal very well it would come and go mostly go. The next morning when we are about to leave the hotel we parked in front of the office to check my mail and etc. and it worked fine there. Aside from the WiFi everything is good at the Sportsmans Lodge. Also, in front of every room they hung humming bird feeders and sometimes several humming birds would be feeding at each time. That was very interesting for me cause it&#39;s the first i see humming birds in a group. Some were very colorful and were just plain gray and black cause you got to them closer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For supper we went to eat at the Bear Wallow restaurant. The food was ok, pie was good, nice rustic atmosphere. The finger steak or steak finger that i ordered weren&#39;t very good at all kinda salty and i couldn&#39;t taste meat mostly the breaded they put. My husband has a sandwich patty melt which is ok, good onion rings, and the cherry pie too. Service was good and friendly and the cost was reasonable. There restaurant is full and I&#39;m kinda aiming for the booth along the windows but couldn&#39;t find vacant so while waiting some people done eating so we transfer near the window. They also have humming feeders outside the window so we got to see those humming birds again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As usual, what we liked to do when we are on the other place is hunting for a thrift stores for some treasures. Unfortunately the only thrift store in that town is only open Saturday, too bad for us it was only Wednesday. We could sense some great treasures waiting for us in that closed building.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had a donut for breakfast at the Alpine Bakery, they were very good was home made from scratch including the filling and icing and a friendly proprietor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We drove out to Luna lake, very nice great views of course and it was almost reverently quiet. They have the rest picnic area, couple are having a picnic and there is one guy fishing. At the end of the lake they have a boat rental/ tackle bait facility. We are not sure if they were open or not or what the hours are. It was closed when we were there. They have those little peddle powered boats, row boats and the dock out back of the place. After we enjoyed the lake for a while we headed off to Morenci/ Clifton on the Coronado Trail. Be sure to bring some snacking from Alpine going to Morenci to Clifton. I thought it&#39;s only couple hours going over there based on the miles so i didn&#39;t grab something to eat cause i am not hungry yet. But with those winding road, coming up and down the hill it took forever and by the time we get to Clifton we are starving.</description><link>http://cz-a-rr-mae.blogspot.com/2009/08/exploring-alpine-arizona.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (czarrmae)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPmx5H9Ot__ZPLw6vnY3mBwO84SJIdo6xHjuAbyhp5MWu5AoYZzFkwlH6XNz-nroFWneAWVacDW0BA-M-D4WbJk-XsEMAM6der0PPj5FYtXKrHZoALIDSutEjs3k17NiMMyKfEh7JSNDjR/s72-c/roadtripaug456011.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122227724827225709.post-5303451065768723765</guid><pubDate>Sat, 15 Aug 2009 18:06:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-15T12:24:20.286-07:00</atom:updated><title>Web Hosting Geeks</title><description>I am in a hunt for a reliable &lt;a href=&quot;http://webhostinggeeks.com/&quot;&gt;webhosting&lt;/a&gt; site right now,as you can see on my links we have few websites most of it are my husband&#39;s. I have one still paying for it but feels like it&#39;s a rip off and i felt discourage to continue posting on my site. Sometimes they are so slow i can&#39;t even go to my site and i just now realized that they were the most expensive one in the rank. Well, It&#39;s paid for a year and I&#39;m not planning to pay for another year for it and for sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, because of the webhostinggeeks.com i can choose the right &lt;a href=&quot;http://webhostinggeeks.com/&quot;&gt;webhosting&lt;/a&gt; site for me. They&#39;ll show you the top 10 web hosting provider, their features, their prices and the hosting reviews so basically gives you an idea. It&#39;s very useful and informative. There are tons of &lt;a href=&quot;http://webhostinggeeks.com/&quot;&gt;webhosting&lt;/a&gt; provider around, can you trust them? Before you purchase something you have to know it first, if it&#39;s the right one for you and of course the prices. So you got to researched about it read some reviews, read all the google and so on and so on and took forever. The webhostinggeeks.com they have it all in there Web Masters Reviews, Customers Reviews,RealMetrics Reviews,Last 10 Hosting Reviews and the Top Rated Web Hosting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My husband have this one experience one time, he loved to open a new website once he has an idea he make a website for it. He found this web hosting place a new one and you know it&#39;s cheap too. My husband site is all about videos so he download videos on the site. Every time he checked the site open the videos, it&#39; s no good at all it&#39;s like a broken CD stopping all the time. He checked on the web hosting of course cause we have the super fast Internet in town. They told him to try the next day still the same call the host again still the same and so on so on. Then my husband stopped it.It&#39;s annoying right? Well, they&#39;re new but then again it&#39;s a waste of time and the waste of money. It&#39;s better really to get to know the hosting site, read some reviews on how other people experienced the site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don&#39;t forget to checked their &lt;a href=&quot;http://webhostinggeeks.com/blog/category/domain-names/&quot;&gt;web hosting geek&#39;s blog&lt;/a&gt;. Haven&#39;t you know that there are some reverse domain name hijacking on the rise? You can learn about that on the webhostinggeeks.com too. This is what i need cause right now I&#39;m in the process of starting a new website so now i got to choose the web hosting provider that i liked.</description><link>http://cz-a-rr-mae.blogspot.com/2009/08/web-hosting-geeks.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (czarrmae)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122227724827225709.post-6201524997103684133</guid><pubDate>Fri, 14 Aug 2009 01:01:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-13T18:29:04.638-07:00</atom:updated><title>My Facebook</title><description>I&#39;m new in Facebook but i find it fun and interesting than the other social networking sites. Most of my friends are my cousins, neighbors, classmates and friends in the Philippines that is why i feel more at home on Facebook. They have alot of games, more quiz and more applications and not boring for me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tried this one it&#39;s very interesting... What do your eyes say about you? The result is Mysteries. &quot;When people look into your eyes, they see mysteries galore. You&#39;re a deep and intellectual person, and others can see that through your sparkling eyes. You&#39;re quiet ...and shy, but once you get to know someone, you become comfortable around them. Your eyes often spark curiosity in others, and it bothers people how they can never tell what you&#39;re really thinking. You&#39;re hard to read and often hide your true emotions.&quot; I bet this is true, even though i have alot of friends and even my childhood friends that i spend more years of my life I&#39;m still so secretive to them. It&#39;s not that i don&#39;t trust them it&#39;s just me. A mysterious me and so as my husband. It&#39;s not about the trust it&#39;s just our personality.</description><link>http://cz-a-rr-mae.blogspot.com/2009/08/my-facebook.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (czarrmae)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122227724827225709.post-2319839208183178299</guid><pubDate>Thu, 13 Aug 2009 03:13:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-12T20:16:30.682-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Jokes</category><title>Border Patrol Alert</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXiMDG05qyYVO3RXb5lvEgccmaocy-MwRrcvdJ1PqJ-yWCaVpJH5uJcCZHVAswUbXomYYyQNiUZj0itaIJNjF9vRQnfla-58hm144nd7cqLGhHW4qcjd2S8Fd1vNmnf68_Jy-KDtiTLqU4/s1600-h/image001.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block;

We are not done on this place yet, this place is huge check this website &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aztravel411.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.aztravel411.com/&lt;/a&gt;. We are planning on visiting each of this town here in Arizona. It takes time you know and it needs expenses but this is our plan. From Phoenix to Alpine it took us approximately 5 hours drive with some few stops along the way. We been to Payson few times, we just couldn&#39;t get bored on this place cause it&#39;s cooler than Phoenix in summer. They have pine trees around, picnic parks, creeks and we&#39;ve been to their fish hatchery one time. We stooped by at Showlow for lunch and took some few pictures. As we continue driving we just pass by at the Pinetop, Eagar and Springerville. We&#39;ve been at Springerville before also i think our daughter probably just 2 or almost 2 years old. We stayed a night on one of their hotel. That place is very quiet and chilly at night even at summer.What i loved about the places we&#39;ve passed is they have plenty of tress around. We stopped at &lt;br /&gt;Lyman Lake before and is just minutes north of Springerville. It is one of the largest lakes in the White Mountains area and permits speed boats and water-skiing as well as fishing. Here you will find campgrounds with hookups, ramadas, paved boat ramps, restrooms and showers. There is usually a small herd of buffalo that hang out in the park. Cabins are also available for rent. We stopped at the Big Lake before also. The Big Lake Recreation Area is home to one of the largest newly developed recreation facilities, featuring improved campgrounds, hookups, and shower facilities. During the winter months, the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest is also home to one of the largest winter recreation areas in the southwest, where cross-country skiing trails, snowmobile rentals, and sledding areas are open to the public. From the stopped for snack at Springerville we continue our driving going to Alpine and still another half hour drive.We have some few picture of our very nice get away road trip.</description><link>http://cz-a-rr-mae.blogspot.com/2009/08/our-road-trip-to-white-mountains.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (czarrmae)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBuLNmmw_m5XLX29ZAm4PypOOSafIMQVrITaB88GG1sZ2gReLQImH5oE1EQZv6cXXDktnUDj4daZvXGuczFMa1N2He6vqLj1Pvi595GWghsEBzcFfvgZ5KWJ4gPTB6aHRCkgK6izM7yn7D/s72-c/roadtripalpine04.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122227724827225709.post-222445789801702062</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Aug 2009 06:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-11T23:33:12.848-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Philippines</category><title>Philippines Weather All Year Around</title><description>For anybody who is interested on checking The Republic of the Philippines. Better to know the climate or weather too. Gives you an idea of what kind of clothes you&#39;ll bring on your travel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Climate&lt;br /&gt;The Philippines has a tropical climate with three distinct seasons. From June to September, the country experiences a rainy season brought by the southwestern monsoon; typhoons are common during this time. From October to February, the northeastern monsoon brings cold winds from the north, creating cool and dry weather. From March to May, the Philippines experiences hot summers. Coastal areas next to the Pacific Ocean experience year-round rainfall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The country&#39;s average temperature can range from 78-90°F (25-32°C), with humidity around 77 percent. Highland areas are much cooler, with nighttime temperatures at night plunging to 68°F (20°C).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before, i thought Philippines is so hot but when i got here this place is worst. Only Philippines is so humid but if i have to choose i prefer dry than humid but not too hot.</description><link>http://cz-a-rr-mae.blogspot.com/2009/08/philippines-weather-all-year-around.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (czarrmae)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122227724827225709.post-3405601133295372535</guid><pubDate>Tue, 11 Aug 2009 05:26:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-10T22:32:51.612-07:00</atom:updated><title>Shakira - &quot;She Wolf&quot;</title><description>&lt;object id=&quot;uvp_fop&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;255&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://d.yimg.com/m/up/fop/embedflv/swf/fop.swf&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;flashVars&quot; value=&quot;id=v217265600&amp;amp;eID=1301797&amp;amp;lang=us&amp;amp;enableFullScreen=0&amp;amp;shareEnable=1&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;embed height=&quot;255&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; id=&quot;uvp_fop&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; src=&quot;http://d.yimg.com/m/up/fop/embedflv/swf/fop.swf&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; flashvars=&quot;id=v217265600&amp;amp;eID=1301797&amp;amp;lang=us&amp;amp;ympsc=4195329&amp;amp;enableFullScreen=1&amp;amp;shareEnable=1&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;</description><link>http://cz-a-rr-mae.blogspot.com/2009/08/shakira-she-wolf.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (czarrmae)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122227724827225709.post-1681423425031842448</guid><pubDate>Thu, 06 Aug 2009 04:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-05T22:01:59.734-07:00</atom:updated><title>Comfort Partner</title><description>I studied myself lately in the mirror and felt a little discourage of what i see.

Honestly, i can&#39;t help it, food is very comforting and I&#39;m craving to eat most of the time.

A very nice drive we went a detour on highway 337 to see what Mormon lake looks like and the village. On the way, such a pretty pine village very pretty houses made of pine trees. We drove on a dirt road but even so it&#39;s very nice drive on such a beautiful day in the middle of those pine trees and we saw a lovely wide meadow. As we reached into the Mormon village it started to rain. Just a small village but it&#39;s great for camping, we are so surprise that there are a lot of people over their camping and it&#39;s Wednesday. There are a lot of RVs and tents around and that&#39;s gives us an idea that maybe next time we could do camping over there. A very nice place but i am so disappointed by the lake cause it looks like muddy and dried out, so not swimming just for camping. &lt;br /&gt;We stayed at Flagstaff for the night and went thrift storing and exploring around town in the morning. I like Flagstaff it&#39;s every nice town, that was my 3rd time visiting that place. They have everything almost Phoenix as to offer and you got to love the nature and the pines and the weather of Flagstaff. On our way back to Phoenix we are planning on going to Sedona&#39;s way, i never been on that place but i heared nice things about that place. Again it&#39;s Wednesday and that place is full of people. Before that trip we are thinking about spending the night at Sedona and my husband is calling for a reservation but everything is full. Such a beautiful place no wonder it&#39;s very popular for rock climbing. They have a very nice red rock mountains. Just on our way alot of cars parking on the side of the road for some sightseeing, we saw students having some field trips. They have lakes too, so we saw ladies on their bikinis. If we could just left Flagstaff a little early we could stay a little longer around Sedona. It&#39;s like a tourist attraction place... As we reached into town again full of people, they have this booths of native jewelry&#39;s and stuffs like nost people selling in a tourist spots place. Just full of people and the set up is like in Care Free Arizona only fancier. Anyways, that was a lovely trip a very nice family bonding on our 4Th anniversary... I have this few pictures of Sedona...</description><link>http://cz-a-rr-mae.blogspot.com/2009/07/beauty-of-sedona-az.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (czarrmae)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDKF0hA0-bGTVkeq8q-LQga_HsgytRmPUrxkeTQwwlsVcHdHo2fTj-v4t-1xYQYIDRFK0PzJL0djv3IaN68OCKFP-l9GvS-9WQVt79oxA2R0AusEdb94XMbLnkqFN8LxxtTQ9cepE1jQTO/s72-c/july2209flagstaff4yrs05.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122227724827225709.post-7882778799761201230</guid><pubDate>Thu, 30 Jul 2009 07:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-30T00:49:39.720-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Richelle</category><title>My 3yrs Old Hoola Hoop</title><description>&lt;OBJECT id=BLOG_video-9a81317cf5a28600 class=BLOG_video_class width=320 height=266 contentId=&quot;9a81317cf5a28600&quot;&gt;&lt;/OBJECT&gt;</description><enclosure type='video/mp4' url='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=9a81317cf5a28600&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link>http://cz-a-rr-mae.blogspot.com/2009/07/my-3yrs-old-hoola-hoop.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (czarrmae)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
