Sink or Swim

Reading fat burner reviews used to be my past time when I noticed that I was gaining weight no matter how much I diet. It turned out I was pregnant and to my utmost happiness, learned that I don’t have to diet at all! On my first trimester, I are all kinds of food that I woudln’t normally eat because I’m afraid to gain weight. But since it was the only way I could cure my morning / whole day sickness, I indulged myself. And boy was it heaven whenever I eat something so good (or should I say bad) and so rich, regardless if it’s a crispy bacon or moist chocolate cake. Now that I’m on my 2nd trimester, I watch what I eat again but not as paranoid as I used to be. I know my baby deserves to have all the nutrients she needs so even though I eat a lot, I make sure they are healthy for the both of us.

One of the things I’d like to have when I retire is a Florida vacation home. And I don’t want to rent it, I want to have my own property by the beach. It could have two rooms for all I care as long as it’s near enough the ocean that I can hear the sound of the waves crashing before I sleep and when I wake up each morning. And now that I’ve thought about it, it doesn’t have to be in Florida. To make this dream realistic, I’d probably settle anywhere safe (low crime rate), with white sandy beaches and affordable properties.

And speaking of keeping your bodies in shape, let’s talk about fat burner. Some fat burners not only serve as weight loss supplement but an overall health supplement. Although slower than other popular brands, this type of fat burner is much safer because of the stimulant it contains. For faster results such as Fenphedra, you may lose a lot in a short amount of time but your body might not be able to handle the stimulants that comes with the drug. I’ve seen a few people lose weight for two or three weeks and have all the pounds back after a week or so. Choosing a fat burner depends on your goal – do you want to wear that bridesmaid’s dress in a month or want to keep the pounds away by losing them slowly and exercising regularly. At the end of the day, if you want to stay strong and healthy, nothing really beats the old, good exercise and healthy diet.

Do you know that one out of five adults suffer from high cholesterol. What’s even more disturbing is the number of young people being diagnosed of hypertensive, diabetes and heart diseas because of high cholesterol levels in their bodies. This is why I’m reading about cholesterol supplements for me and my husband. We’ve always been living on a high fat diet and no time to exercise regularly. Now that we’re trying to live a healthy lifestyle, why not go all and get a supplement as well. I know I need to research more thoroughly about this. I’m very serious in keeping our cholesterols in check and our bodies in top shape.

I never knew I’d search online for arthritis relief but here I am in front of the computer with five browsers open researching exactly that. Still, I’m glad it’s not for me but for my aunt who couldn’t sleep at night anymore due to joint pains. I told her to go see a doctor but she said she wants me to find some information for her first so she’d know what to ask. She has a point because I’ll do the same thing before seeing a physician. It doesn’t hurt to be informed and understand exactly what your diagnosis is all about.

I always say that December is our most expensive month of the year. Aside from buying gifts and holiday trips, there’s the annual credit card renewals and yearly payment of all our insurances. We are already paying up to 5 insurance packages as of this year and might add another one now that baby #2 is on its way. I’m checking out the free insurance quotes online just to have an idea of how expensive it is to get a new policy now compared to five years ago. Luckily, we’re just about done paying my first child’s educational plan so we can now afford to get a new one for our next baby.

My do-it-yourself brother-in-law would definitely love this really cool home improvement product from Creative Corners. He’d like it so much that I’m thinking of getting him a whole package as a Christmas gift. It’s a Do It Yourself arched doorway that you can install on any part of the house. With pre-formed corner inserts at $54.95 per opening, you can transform your square interior doorways into stylish arched corners without all the stress that comes with building drywall arches. You can even choose from four architectural styles – partial, full, eyebrow and step to assure that it will complement the interior design of your home.

I envy people who can afford to have a sauna in their homes. My friend in Australia for example is planning to have one installed in their mini-gym. Granted she’s filthy rich but that doesn’t mean I have to go to the local gym and share with four more people before I can relax and have my pores cleaned.

Anyway, I checked the Crystal Sauna website and just like what I thought, it’s pretty pricey but not as expensive as I expected it to be. They sell all kinds of saunas from portables to luxuries, family, outdoors to infrared saunas. The 2-person infrared sauna will cost about $2,995.00 from Crystal Sauna only. It has a wall-to-wall heating system, 10 carbon fiber heaters with a total of 4,170 square inches heating surface area, ergonomic backrests (I’ve always hated those sauna rooms without proper seats), thick tempered glass door and windows and 24″ deep bench.

Now that we’re having our 2nd child, you should expect more posts about baby products here. I am after all, a shopaholic addict when it comes to baby items. For one, who would berate you for shopping too much if you’re doing it for your child, right? Well, that’s my reason, at least.

On our first baby, we realized how important it is to have an infant travel bed. We go out of town and visit relatives all the time so this is a must for us. My current pick is the Eddie Bauer infant travel bed because its just so lightweight and perfect for napping wherever you are. I found this from Baby Safe Travel web site and been very impressed so far.

There are about 40 beautifully done interiors from this post here but let me share with you my top 5 favorite. Click on the photos to access the owner of the photos.

Great natural lighting effect

Shiny floors and that hanging seating area is just spectacular.

Another play with natural lighting. Looks so real except for the bed sheets.

The details are simply amazing.

Looks like a CGI cartoon but great nonetheless.
