The world around us

The media seems to be overloading us with information on all kinds of diet remedies lately. One of the most popular ones seems to be hoodia, which has been featured on the Oprah show and on several other shows as well. There are lots of celebrities that have endorsed the product as well and that is probably one of the reasons that it is more popular than several other diet remedies and products. Everyone is celeb crazy these days and everyone wants to look like a celebrity, come what may!

I am curious to see what the long term effect of such madness will be, I do hope that people realize that celebrities have an entire team of people working to make them look good, besides the airbrushing team which ensures that no lines or wrinkes or buldges ever get published. The saddest part is that these images are ingrained in consumers minds and everyone wants to do just about anything to look like them. Dieting is not bad in itself, but must be done in a healthy manner, and not just because a celebrity is also doing the same thing. Hoodia is a natural product and is not known to have any side effects, so is one of the best ways to lose weight and look good.

This was a funny find on bLaugh! It’s amazing how used to one gets to working on the computer and starts to use or at least want to use the same processes for real life. The back button is one such tool that is so easy to get used to that one wants to sometimes use it in real life! Not quite possible, but jsut imagine if it were! It would surely cause complete chaos. Wonder if something like this might be possible after a while, for humans to actually use.

Enjoy!

Now that summer is on it’s way, it’s time to make some changes to the home to accomodate the harsh sun. One of the best ways to cut down on the heat is to install some roller shades that will block the heat and some of the bright light, especially in the mid afternoons when it is the hottest. I find that these shades are not only very easy to install, but much easier to keep clean than other blinds and shades. Even with our daily cleaning, there is a fair amount of dust that comes in to settle on everything and so constant and easy cleaning is a must.

It’s amazing just how easy it is to slip into old routines of being pampered and looked after when one comes home for a visit. I had not planned on coming again after just a few months, but once the plan was made, I was looking forward to exactly this. When at my own home, I take care of everything myself, here I can not lift a finger if I don’t want to and for a while it really does feel rather nice to be so relaxed and looked after. Before I got married, I never appreciated any of this and that is what I regret most of all, that I took it all for granted, only to realise its value once it was too late. Anyhow, each time I visit, I make sure that I really do enjoy myself and get all the pampering I want.
