Sometimes it is hard to tell someone to go get something done about their acne scars – which was exactly what happened yesterday at our store. We have a long time customer – who always had this acne problem – but after she gave birth to her daughter – it seems to have gotten better. But a year and a half later – we see her at the store – and she was back with new acne and more scar. It was so bad – that Chloe didn’t dare go near her – nor cross her path – to get her movies where that customer was standing. Poor kid and poor customer of ours. I wished I knew where I can get her the best acne scar treatment but even if I did – how do I go about telling her without offending her. I felt so bad that Chloe behaved the way she did – but you can’t really blamed her coz’ it was really bad – the acne I meant – and such a pity – because that customer is really a pretty young woman. Anyhow, I took the opportunity to tell Chloe that personal hygiene was important – if she didn’t want to get acne in the future.
Chinese New Year Goodies
Chinese New Year’s goodies started coming for me and Chloe from all over the world. Friends from United States, Montreal, Toronto and all the way from Australia – came for us – the last 2 weeks and I haven’t had the chance to post it up on my food blog – but I’ve started stuffing my face with them of course. Chloe doesn’t know how to enjoy it yet – and PB – he wanted me to have more of them – so that I can get my fill and don’t feel so home sick. I thought no one makes these pineapple tarts that my mom makes but I was wrong – someone did and it looks almost like the ones my mom bakes every year during Chinese New Year when I was a kid. These pineapple tarts are so good – they are very expensive – so I’m eating them slowly and enjoying every bit of it. I already got some weight loss pills because I know I’m going to put on so much weight – from all the goodies that I’ve received. But hell if anything is going to stop me from eating them! hahah!
That Fat Chick
I know of someone personally with a real weight loss story which I find very inspiring. Every week, I would read her blog to see how much weight she lost – and she went from 330 Ibs to 164 Ibs within a year. Of course, she had a gastric bypass – but she also did her exercises – and walk a lot and started eating different too. It is definitely inspiring – and if she can do it – so can I – fo I’m not even her present weight at the moment – but am trying to lose some weight – so that I can have more energy and because being a diabetic – i need to keep my weight under a certain number. I wanted to share this with those who are struggling with their weight – so if my friend can do it – so can you – there is hope. I do find stories like this one – very inspiring for someone like myself – who have been trying to lose weight the safest way.
My Weight & I
So February is round the corner – already one month into the new year – and i still haven’t started on my exercise again. First I was too busy – then I got sick – and of course the store was busy and during Christmas – I received lots of goodies from home – so I had to stuff my face with it. Well, you get the idea eh? With Chinese New Year around the corner and more dinners to go to – with Chinese friends from here – you know what I need right? yes ! a lot of help from the latest diet pills that would work quick and not expensive but most importantly safe. The reason why I say this is because – Chloe was lying on my tummy this evening watching tv – and she said and I quote ” oh mom! i’m glad you haven’t exercise yet – your tummy is so comfffffyyyy!!!” – so you get the picture eh? round tummy – like a fluffy pillow. So yes! diet & exercise – here I come! I better!
Every Woman’s New Year Resolution
And it’s true isn’t it – we want to lose some weight and look our best for the new year. And more so for me – since I saw my neighbor at the grocery store today – looking fabulous! boy ! do i envy! time to get the best weight loss pills and make sure I look as fabulous for the two weddings I have to attend this year. After all, I hate going for weddings and having my pictures taken and looking like a whale. No fun at all – when someone else sees your picture and asked who the whale is right? So yes, exercise, exercise, exercise and eat right and get some weight loss supplement. Was losing weight and looking great one of your new year’s resolution? the truth now!
Winter Skin
I’m in the middle of winter and my forehead feels funny – a bit painful but not that bad – so i touched my forehead and realized that I have bumps coming outta my head – I am having pimples!!! and also my forehead feels wrinkly! i panic and asked my spouse to look for the best forehead wrinkle cream for me and I have to stop eating chilli sauce and anything spicy – I guess my body is trying to tell me something. On the other head – I’m already 45 – so wrinkles are to be expected and I know i can’t get rid of them – but at least – I can try and lighten it. My mom used to say – one has gotta admit that one needs help – when you are this old – wise old mom.
No More Bi-focal For Me
Last year I went to a different eye doctor – because my old one refused to give me a prescription for bi-focal and I was so sure I needed it because when I need to read anything – I have to remove my normal glasses. So I got my bi-focal last year – which cost me a good $500 – for a pair and what happened? I still couldn’t use my bi-focal – because it doesn’t seem to work very well for me. And how do I read now? I still need to take off my glasses! *sigh* – so after paying so much – and not being able to use it leaves me very frustrated because I could have gotten 2 pairs for the same price if not because of my bi-focal. So now i’m sticking to cheap glasses since I don’t have to have bi-focal – that’s for sure. So I’m wrong – and my old eye doctor is right.
6 hrs Of Sleep
For a while there I was sleeping more than 6 hrs a night but lately – I have gone back to my old habits because I had to spend a lot more time with Chloe teaching her – her homework and going through reading books with her. Plus Chloe had been a lot more demanding of late – so even though I go home from the store at 5pm – I don’t get to do any of my work at all. So by the time she goes to bed – I start with my own housework and preparing for her food for the next day – I end up in bed late AGAIN! I was telling PB he needs to get me some under eye creams and not just any ordinary ones – because while people has eye bags – I have eye luggage – yes! it’s that bad! Yes! when you have kids – you really have to time yourself properly – but with a spouse – who needs time for gaming – instead of helping you out with “your” domestic stuff – that’s when he has to spend more money on eye creams for me.
Hormonal Acne
I do believe in hormonal acne when the niece spoke with me about it the other day – because before i had my hysterectomy – I usually get mine when I was going to have my menses – and it was like clockwork. The acne and pimples start popping out and then the flow starts. There are hormonal acne treatments for people like myself and I wished I had known about this earlier – because then I don’t have to waste my money buying things that doesn’t work. So I am recommending hormonal acne treatments to anyone who has the same problem as I and regain their confidence back immediately and no more wasting of your money.
I Miss My Esthetician!
I just went for a facial – the other day – and I tell you – I sure missed my Esthetician from back home in Singapore. Her name is Linda – and she does the best best adult acne treatment and she has the best technique for massage your face and your back. For the last 10 yrs, I have tried several spas and none compared with her. Don’t get me wrong – they are good but I still prefer Linda’s. I think it is because she really takes care of my needs – like taken care of the white heads around my eyes – and also doing my eyebrow shaping without any extra charge. Plus a quick 5 mins massage after – you are done your facial – pure bliss. Of course, she has special portion for all types of skins – if you have dark circles or if you are having a bad acne this morning. Yes! i dream of home – I dream of someone to take care of my acne problems without being critical – I dream of the familiar spa – the familiar hands. Oh when can I go home for a visit?
