<p style="text-align: justify;">Beauty products abound in my closet.  I just gave away a huge chunk of it lately and now it&#8217;s filling up drawers again. I love that my work allows for me to test and review products without me having to pay for all the items myself. They can be pricey, you know. And it&#8217;s never me to spend for such luxuries.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-1058"></span>While my skin tolerates my experimentation on different products, the same does not hold true for my hair.  For some reason my hair tends to fall when I use organic and plant based products.  The foreign brands, that is.  I have used local brands made from honey and propolis and from the gugo bark and coconut and my hair is okay. Now I&#8217;m searching for <a href="http://www.hairgrowthshampoos.net/">shampoo for hair growth</a>. I would love to have thicker locks.  <img src='http://www.jenaspacio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

I stopped using harmful home detergents and used my own concoction of tea tree oil that effectively cleans basically everything in the house, minus the toxic ingredients most household cleaning products have.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-956"></span>Since then, I also started using all organic toiletries.  But one thing that I have noticed about organic shampoos, most of them cause hair fall to an alarming degree.  A few reviews I have posted live via KikayCorner.net.  Now I am looking into <a href="http://www.hairlosspreventions.org/">how to prevent hair loss</a>.  I&#8217;m not sure what&#8217;s there about plant derived shampoos that cause this.  But I am hoping to research on this the soonest and find the best brand that will save my crowning glory from its demise.  <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--></p>

At 103lbs., I feel really heavy already.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-948"></span>I figured <a href="http://www.fatburner.org/">thermogenic fat burner</a> is not exactly what I need. I should instead focus on the particular part of my body that is giving me a problem &#8211; my heavy mid section. I have stopped doing sit ups when I was in college, when my crunches took its toll on my poor back. It took me several visits to my chiropractor before the problem was corrected.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now I&#8217;m trying out this figure trimmer and I hope that it does its job.  From the few times I tried it, I did feel some pressure in my tummy and the most I could do is 5 minutes and I&#8217;m sweating already. I&#8217;m loving it so far. <img src='http://www.jenaspacio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--mfunc tagparser_cache::show_tag() --><!--/mfunc--><p style="text-align: justify;"><!--INFOLINKS_OFF-->With all the sleepless nights that the hubby and I have been doing over some online jobs, we really ought to be happy.  This means we slowly going back on track.  But we&#8217;re definitely needing some catching up to do when it comes to quality time.  I have been missing him pretty much.  Although I sleep in his arms every single night, there is nothing like a fun time with him where we just talk and have fun and maybe some few karaoke numbers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-899"></span>The bags around my eyes are beginning to get heavier by the day. The eye roll on that I&#8217;ve been using does not look it doing anything anymore.  But I&#8217;m glad that my face don&#8217;t break out like others&#8217; do when they lack sleep.  Others need to use <a href="http://www.bestacnetreatment.net/">best acne treatment</a>, but I think it&#8217;s in my genes that I don&#8217;t have to go through and for which I am so glad.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I am so hoping that we will soon be able to adjust and still squeeze in some couch time for the hubby and me.  Drifting apart has never been an option to this 8 year some marriage. We&#8217;re going to work on it. Soon. <img src='http://www.jenaspacio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />

<p style="text-align: justify;">As I have mentioned in a <a href="http://www.jenaspacio.com/health/health-benefits-of-kefir/" target="_blank">previous post</a>, our family has been drinking kefir smoothie on a daily basis.  I am quite thrilled that I did not have a hard time incorporating this to our diet, especially to my son.  Up to now, the hubby would still sometimes cringe when I attempt to thicken the kefir concentrate in the smoothie.  Anyhow, here are a few snapshots of what I do when I make the kefir smoothie. (I still yet to get a good shot of the grains&#8211; too lazy to experiment on shots using my macro filter)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-645" title="kefir smoothie" src="http://www.jenaspacio.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/kefir-smoothie.jpg" alt="kefir smoothie" width="368" height="230" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-646"></span>As someone who maintains a couple of health web pages, it is inevitable that I get influenced by the articles that I research and work on.  Even as I look into <a href="http://www.coloncleanseresearch.com/">colon cleanse reviews</a>, I am convinced that we should be more responsible of our health and our well being by choosing a better diet that of the more popular fast food regimen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;m currently growing my kefir grains and have recently tried fermenting them with the use of carabao&#8217;s milk instead of cow&#8217;s milk. <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Thanks to the sponsored flu shot we got early this year and the oil pulling that I have been doing for quite sometime now, I can now consider myself healthier than I was from years back.  Although I have acquired some unsightly ripples around the legs during the first quarter of this year, I am still setting my goal on going back to working out.  Hoping to delay my having to use any of those <a href="http://www.slimmingpillsreview.com/">best diet pills</a> available.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After regularly working out from January this year until my last workout last March 5, it was around that time that I first saw those unsightly ripples of cellulite. Ugly word I know, but so far so good, my seaweed slimming oil is making a lot of difference from how it used to be back in March.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The goal is for me to go back to working out real soon.  How, I still don&#8217;t know.  With all the busyness of being a homeschooler and an internet marketer, I am not sure where to place that in my schedule anymore.  Allow me to figure that out in the coming weeks. <img src='http://www.jenaspacio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--mfunc tagparser_cache::show_tag() --><!--/mfunc--><div style="text-align:justify;">I woke up today with a splitting headache.  I remember having this time and again ever since I was in grade school.  We even thought I had some kind of brain tumor.  This is paralyzing me big time.  It is two in the afternoon and it was only now that I got up and practically made my way to doing my tasks on the computer. </div>
<p>
<div style="text-align:justify;">Yes.  I have stayed home.  I have practically ceased attending my review classes.  I would have to pay mother more than a hundred dollars for that.  I really have no choice.  My body has again failed me.  Aside from this migraine, I also have an ulcer around my throat.  I remember having it when I feasted on my favorite Reese&#8217;s chocolate.  Now I&#8217;m back to gargling with Bactidol every single hour to get rid of it.  Arggh!  I am just not in my tip top shape now. But I will be back with a vengeance.  I want to stay healthier and fitter for my son.  I honestly can&#8217;t keep up with his two year old energy.  Although I pretty much don&#8217;t plan on joining my two boys as they do their rough matches, but at least I would keep my youthful energy.  This is a priority for me now that I pray the Lord would grant me.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%;">This is not so in the international scene.<span>  </span>In fact, it’s in the news, one woman from New Zealand announces that getting a cosmetic surgery should not be a secret, but rather to celebrate over. Interesting eh?<span>  </span>But come to think of it, what really is the use of hiding everything when people will notice anyway and besides you have splurged on it then might as well make the announcement. </span></p>

<div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%;">I personally do not find myself frowning over these kinds of cosmetic surgeries.<span>  </span>I just wouldn’t go as far as what Michael Jackson or our local Regine Velasquez did to their faces.<span>  </span>There has to be a line where one should know when to stop and not look as horrible as the two.<span>  </span>Even vanity should set its balance somewhere.</span></div>
