I have been tempted to buy myself an exercise equipment every time we pass by Aibi at the mall. I know I can burn more calories if I have an elliptical at home, it’s much easier than getting outside and jog around the neighborhood. I do like going out but I hate having to think of what I’m going to wear, unlike if I exercise at home then I don’t have to think about that at all. I don’t mind buying refurbished fitness equipment either, I know it is okay to purchase one here at they come from reputable distributors still. The only thing that is stopping me is that I don’t know where to put it in my house, I do not want it to be an eyesore on my living room.

A friend of mine and I were chatting the other day and we talked about shopping and of course beauty products. She asked if I could recommend a best acne treatment for her. I’m not using any of those products so I searched online for products she could try. I know how confusing it can get to choose a new product because there’s a lot available in the market today. Every single one says they have the best formulation and would work 100%. Of course different people have different skin types and what works for some might not work for others. It is just a matter of finding the right one that will work with your skin.

My husband wanted a new rug for the living room, he’s been telling me that we should get a new one for months. He really wanted one of those shaggy type rugs we often see at Courts when we go there. So last month I gave in and told him we could buy a new one. I felt bad for throwing away our old area rug (we bought it when we moved here last year so it’s not reall that old) but I just know that we won’t be using it again and that it’s too heavy and bulk to keep in our storage room. Anyway we’re happy with our recent purchase, it’s the right size for the living room and the colors won’t get dirty easily even if you have a toddler at home.

I got a few more auto insurance quotes in the mail today (along with a nice package I’ve been expecting this week). We don’t have any use for it since we don’t have a car here and we don’t plan to buy one anytime soon. My mom on the other hand is looking at several insurance quotes for their car, I might give her a call to share what I have here so she can have an idea as to how much is the price difference here than back home.

When you have an active toddler who goes to preschool five days a week you are pretty much wiped out by the end of the day. I don’t need sleeping pills to help me sleep at night in fact most days I can’t wait to crawl to bed by the end of a busy day. Taking care of my little girl keeps me on my toes and she’s all the sleeping pill I need to help me sleep at night.

I need to go to the salon badly for a new hair color. My roots are screaming for a much needed TLC. I think I will go with a darker hair color this time around, I must remember to schedule an appointment at the salon for next week. The place is always crowded on weekends and they don’t even offer hair loss cures but just the normal salon services. I guess a lot of women only have time for themselves on weekends especially moms like me. I don’t feel bad for spending hours at the salon, it’s my “me” time and I know I deserve a little bit of time for myself every now and then. It doesn’t come often so I’m thankful when I get a chance to pamper myself.

If space is not an issue here at home I would love to have a fitness equipment or two for me to use (and hopefully help me lose weight). I’ve seen treadmills and eliptical exercise equipment at Courts last weekend and I thought of how nice it would be to be able to do some exercise at home. I don’t really like going jogging around the neighborhood in the mornings but I can’t justify the space a treadmill would take up in our home. Sigh jogging is the only way to go for me….

I was reading my emails this morning and there was one from someone I don’t know. Anyway she was talking about free credit score and how I could find out what is mine. I normally just delete emails from people I don’t know, I’ve had my share of scam and virus emails that I’m cautious not to compromise the safety of my computer. Anyway that email got me curious though but not curious enough to reply, I have more important things to do today.

I wonder how companies do their employment screening these days. I’ve been a SAHM for a few years now, I think I would be scared to go back to the corporate world again. I’m not planning to do so anytime soon but I will eventually. I’d have to brush up on my skills before I start sending those resumes of course. I do not look forward to that day but I know one day it will happen. Hopefully it would be when my kids are old enough to be left in the care of others.

Sometimes I wish I can just take up one of those quick and easy weight lossquick and easy weight loss diet plans I see on TV. I’m someone who doesn’t really like exercising (and sweating like a pig) and I love to eat so really I don’t have anyone to blame but me for getting myself this overweight. Unfortunately there’s no easy way out of this mess, I have to work hard to get back into shape, or my old shape rather (lol). Sigh if only it is easy…..
