Take a look around any drug store and you’ll find tons of anti-aging products which leads me to think women don’t have to look old if they don’t want to. Am I making any sense here? Apparently there’s an anti wrinkle cream available to fix any part of your body and hair dyes to fix those grays.

You can apparently also help the process along by eating lots of fruits and vegetables to banish any signs of aging. And if all else fails and money permits, there’s always cosmetic surgery and the like. How far would you go to retain your youth?

Beating forgetfulness

Do you ever make a shopping list before you hit the stores? Sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t. Hence the problem when I forget and miss something and then find myself making another trip to the store *sigh*.

One way to beat forgetfulness and give yourself some lead time is to buy in bulk. I tend to stock up on items like multivitamin, toiletries and stationery. These items go fast so it’s good to have extra stock on hand. I find it really works great.

is a short sale better for you?

When I drive around the neighborhood, I notice there seems to be quite a number of houses for sale. Is the economy not improving yet? I was kinda hoping it is but I guess it takes time to recover and not everyone can hang on till it does.

It’s a shame to have to sell your house for the money. I’m no finance buff but I’m thinking if maybe people should try the short sale approach first. I was told it may be a better strategy than an outright foreclosure. I’m sure there are experts at the best short sale companies in California who can offer some sound advice.

take precautions from the sun

With the weather so hot or warming up (depending on where you are), I’m so afraid to go out in the sun. Of course, you can avoid the sun at all cost, slap on the sunblock, apply your anti wrinkle eye cream religiously every night, but it’s not always possible not to go out in the sun.

The thing is to take precautions as the sun rays can be harmful in many ways. A few things that I do – wear long-sleeved shirts (which I hate because it’s so warm!), sunglasses and slob on a medium to high SPF sunscreen.

checking your credit card statements

It’s wise to at least have a glance through your credit statement to ensure the items listed are the actual purchases you made. Most of the items should be familiar to you so if something unusual like say, an amount for incontinence products, should raise a red flag right away. Do you read through your credit card statements before making payment?

spring 2010 fashion trend – yellow

Ripe bananas are in this spring! That means you will do well to step out dressed in yellow too this spring. Walk into a room wearing yellow and you instantly light up the place. It’s such a beautiful color I often wonder why it’s not worn more often.

I love the prints on this one. If you wore this to do something as mundane as your online backup, you might even find yourself smiling. So there you go .

spring 2010 fashion trend – prints

If you have any print clothing tucked away in your closet, bring them out now and dust them off because prints are in this season. And you’re not limited to wearing just one set of prints. Feel free to pair similar prints of different colors to create your own unique look.

When the weather warms up, showing a little skin never hurt. It’s always wise to jump on that dusty treadmill first before stepping out after the long cold winter.
