Master Cleanse

I mentioned in my personal blog that I am giving in and trying out this Master Cleanse Diet. The minimum days that this detoxification/cleansing process will work out is 10 days, maximum is 40 days. I will try it for 10 days. WISH ME LUCK. It will give the same benefit as taking this herbal colon cleanse.

The mixture: All you need are the following. The Grade B Maple Syrup is pretty hard to find and a bit expensive. (we use Grade A maple syrup on our pancakes so do not use that). Contrary to what I originally wrote about this in my food blog, apparently, you cannot take any solid food nor drink except for this, the sea salt water and some laxative teas.

You can read more on this HERE.
* 2 Tablespoons of organic lemon juice
* 2 Tablespoons of organic grade B maple syrup
* 1/10 Teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
* 10 oz of filtered water

high risk

DH used to work for a company where he handles High Risk accounts. He would tell me stories of what could happen to a certain company if there were fraud or even risk in their credit card processor. I always think of credit card processing in stores and businesses as an asset but it can also risk the name and safety of a company.

This site called HighRiskAccount.com offers internet merchant account processing services. This company provides assistance to high risk accounts and make it possible for them to accept credit cards with much safety and caution.

Credit cards may come with danger and some liabilities but we cannot ignore the fact that with a credit card processor in a store, this would also mean higher revenues because most people these days do not carry cash anymore. By giving them a choice whether to use cash or card also means that you value your customer's convenience while making sure that these credit card purchases and processing are guarded with much safety.

6 down the drain, 10 more to go.

Oh man, my weighing scale must be seriously kidding me when I weigh in this morning. Finally after 3 months of hardwork, 6 lbs lost. REALLY?! Maybe, we should start checking new weighing scales and see if ours is consistent. Thanks if it is, but I still don't look thin on photos :(. When we did some Easter-egg hunting yesterday, our friends took a photo of me and DH and phew, I still look bloated. Sigh.

Anyways, I'd be signing off the whole Holy Week, not sure if I can, though :P.
Here's wishing you all a Blessed Holy Week!

someday...

I'd love to have this.

or this.

I swear I am such a sucker for toiletries and I could stay for hours in the bathroom harharhar :)

under the stairs

Before I sign off and check on these strivectin reviews. Let me share with you another home organizing finds.

Our Indian neighbors are making some minor improvements and enhancements on our 2-storey town home. This is because their relatives are coming to visit them during the summer up until fall. I mentioned to them that I always visit DesiretoInspire.com for some inspirations and look what we've seen just a few minutes ago :). Love love this, it would be perfect for their stairs as well.

To read more on these nice organizers under the stairs, check the rest of the entry HERE.

Come to think of it, I wish my metabolism rate was like that of my DS. Goodness, he poops so many times a day, excuse me for this entry hee hee. But yes he does, as if he takes colon cleansing herb every after meal because he brings out everything he takes in. Must be his energy or must be because of his activities in school or maybe because he loves fresh milk so much making him lactose intolerant. Whatever it is, I should just be grateful that I may not have the body I want to have, I am healthy. Healthy enough to take care of my growing boy and my grown-up boy :P.

time is running out.

Yes, that's true, my time is indeed running out. Yikes!
I need quick weight loss tips to shed off the very STUBBORN 20 lbs. They just won't leave me, ever. I watch what I eat, I workout everyday and I pray that these flabs may leave me but to no avail boohoo. I guess I just have to accept the fact that I have a very slow (maybe none, even) metabolism rate.

Any tips? I seriously need to meet half of my weight goal in 2 months and the rest in 6 months.

baby dolls.

Since a number of my blogging buddies and friends are on the way with their 2nd bundle of joys and majority of them are carrying baby girls, I thought of posting these cutie dresses. Whenever I shop for DS, I end up clicking the girls page too. Oh how I really hope and pray that my 2nd baby will be a girl. We are not yet ready to have another child, not this year or the next, maybe in 2011, may be not. Whenever that will be, I hope that my girl won't have public speaking anxiety like his big brother who loves to chatter on big groups.

Dresses from Anne Geddes

and these pretty dresses I saw from Macy's or JC Penney (i think) hahah! my bad!

tough job.

Seriously, this would mean serious jobs for house-breakers to get in and decipher this lock? Do you think this double-chain lock would be enough security for you in case some attempted break-in would happen? I can get paranoid with locks at time that is why even after checking them before going up to bed, I still ask the husbo to check it again before he sleeps.

How paranoid can you get when you think about your home safety?

Hermione is all grown up!

I am starting my Spring cleaning session and I began with purging my computer files. I have this habit of saving too many photos and links for blogging purposes but I end up just saving them. One of the photos I saw is this. I love LOVE Emma Watson and look at how Hermione Granger has grown up! I also love her fashion style because she can be very trendy yet keeping her elegance intact, though I still have to see her in a hip hop clothing or any of those kind of outfits. But with being the newest image model of Burberry, I doubt if I would ever see her wearing hip hop outfit :P.

Remember Felicity?

I was looking for a reliable supplier of stainless steel drums for a friend who is starting his own business when I landed on this tumblr site with this photo. I miss watching TV series which plot revolves on the simplest but very meaningful love stories such as Felicity. Do you still remember her?

BEN: Do you wanna walk?
FELICITY: No.
BEN: Oh.
FELICITY: The truth is, I can’t be with you like this. I mean, I know I said that I could, but I can’t. I can’t just compromise myself like that. I mean, I’m an emotional person. I feel things, and I need to be able to get upset and talk about how I’m feeling. I mean, that’s just, that’s who I am, and I can’t change it. I don’t want to. And the thing is, you knew that. You knew it, and you still pursued me. Because you want something with me. You just aren’t strong enough to have it. Which… in a way, makes you a coward. And the saddest part is that one day, you’re gonna wake up and you’re gonna realize what you missed and it’ gonna be too late.
BEN: I don’t know what to say.
FELICITY: I know, it’s okay. [gives him a kiss on the cheek & walks away]

Anyway, Drums of Steel offers every kind of steels drums this friend of mine is looking for. I am positive that with the determination my friend is giving to his business launch, this business of him will be a huge success.

still no gift

DH turned 33 last month and it has already been 2 weeks. Till now, I haven't gotten him any gift, bad bad wifey :P. I do not know what he wants and he does not want me to spend haha! He would love to have a home theater seating but our town home is way too crowded to accommodate a complete home theatre system. He loves home designing and a unique furniture would delight him but I wonder how he would react if I give him that very peculiar book shelf.

cheap but reliable.

Are you on the look out for a cheap term life insurance package that is tried and tested, more so comprehensive? Visit WholeSaleInsurance.net to get all the necessary information on term life insurances before you meet your agent. I chanced upon this site as I was researching for a better insurance company as DH is unhappy with the current one that we have. We will make our decision next week and I hope it's final. DH can be very fickle-minded sometimes :P.

HBD miss little photographer :P.

My best friend and I are looking for supplier of a birthday cake similar to the one in the photo. One of our high school friends who is gaga over photography and all Nikon-related stuff is celebrating her 32nd birthday this month. I tried to contact many cake makers and I got an offer from one who can deliver it to their place but too bad the rate is too high. I guess we will just get her more Nikon accessories from Best Buy, her haven. Yeah, she's the only member in the Barkada who is so into gadgets.

the inevitable.

Yes peeps, just a little more guts and urgency, soon I will be taking the inevitable. I must admit I have some sort-of driving anxiety lol! You may call me weird but I share this feeling with a couple of my dear friends, one of whom had no choice and has been driving for over 2 years now. I could drive but I lack the confidence. And yes this time, there is no denying, I really need to be behind the wheels whether I like it or not! We got the admittance letter of DS for big school and it would be a full-day class. It would totally conflict with DH's schedule. I know, it had been more than a year of postponing this and this time there is no way I could postpone it further. Well, not at least before September. So for the past days I have been reviewing online to get ready for the written driving test. Also, DH told me to read reviews particularly on buick lucerne for our 2nd car alternative. We have been frequenting thecarconnection.com for quite some time now for reliable reviews on cars. It would be very impractical for me to take the driving test without getting another car for me to use, you see with DH's erratic schedule, it would be very impossible to share cars with him.
