I Need to Hydrate

Posted on April 20, 2012 by greenbucks| 2 Comments

The heat is oppressive and is making the skin so dry. It’s like everywhere you are being baked alive.

I had to change my facial care and look for oil free lotion hydrating treatment. I am looking for something like this below:

Now, my feet need a lot of hydrating too especially since I walk barefoot at home. My aunt said that I need to lather on lots and lots of lotion while I am watching TV or before I go to bed. Well, I used to do that but I don’t watch TV these days and I sleep as soon as my head hits the pillow because I felt faint the whole day from the heat.

Eye Photo

I love taking eye photos. Yep, up close, kinda difficult to do of course. That the eye is a fascinating subject, there is no doubt about it.

Permit me to show another eye photo:

One of my eyes, which, right at this very moment, are both red and itchy due to allergies. Read more »

Skin Care and TV Ads

Posted on January 17, 2010 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

There is this television commercial (tvc) of three popular TV personalities who used to be together in a now-defunct show about fashion, lifestyle and almost everything that screams “buy me!”

This tvc was about looking the same or maybe even younger than they were six years ago. If I were different, maybe I would believe these ladies but knowing how much photoshop can be done to make things look better different, I may not be one of those who bought that product which I guess based its presentation on hydrolyze reviews.

Either the product really works or I am just a skeptic, I wouldn’t know unless I try it myself. Which I would probably not because I would rather do this.

Be Positive

Posted on December 10, 2009 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

Writing about wishes puts a sweet smile on my face for I know despite the negative things happening in this country, not everything is lost.

Sure, I worry and why not? I have children whose future I have to think about. I know worrying would not just make me feel and look dour. I know worrying would make my hairs sprout unsightly white strands. I know worrying will make me have more lines and my face. (Yes, I even worry how I will make myself get the best anti-wrinkle cream without a flinch)

But I know all these worrying would not make a positive person and I know I should focus on doing thing that are positive and uplifting especially during trying times.

“Worry is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do but it doesn’t get you anywhere.”

Allergy Season

Posted on October 30, 2009 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

It is allergy season where we are. During this time of the year when the winds are colder and the temperature dips  a bit, I expect several changes to happen to me: dry and chapped lips, sniffles and runny nose, sneezing fits and headache.

If I am lucky, I don’t get sick with body aches and pains. With my second child, I spent the first two months of my pregnancy with him sick with allergies. He is the only one with asthma among my children.

This allergy season is different since I never expected my eyes to be affected but this time, it did: I got itchy and irritated red eyes that will be puffy from the huge amount of rubbing that I do.

I know, I know, I am NOT supposed to rub my eyes but I can’t help it. My.eyes.are.so.itchy!

I don’t want to take in any allergy medication. If only I can use the best eye cream available which will not only get rid of the itchiness but will also help remove wrinkles I will surely give it a go.

For now, I rest my eyes.

Really hope it helps reduce the itchiness. Argh!
