May 21, 2007: New Fad in Town

Hi everyone,

I was reading local newspaper while on train to work this morning and came acrros this article that somehow brought smile on my face (not sure why ).

This is what it all about (news from AFP):

It seems now spas across United States - from New York, to Miami, Los Angeles and Minneapolis - are currently promoting butt facials (some called it 'butt lift'), which promise to tighten, lift and tone the posteriors of clients eager to don their bathing suits and make an impression on the beach.

The treatment is part of a wave of non-invasive procedures spas have created to capitalise on clients who have money to spare and who are keen on taking care of every inch of their body.

Some treatments for the rearend focus on cleansing and detoxifying the skin, much like a regular facial. Others use micro-dermabrasion or microcurrent therapy to rid of the buttocks of cellulite deposites, acne and other skin problems.

March 09, 2007: A Strong Woman vs A Woman of Strength

Hi everyone,

I found this on OrangJammies's blog and would like to share it with my friends.... Sorry guys, another blog for ladies ...hehehe.

Love - Larra

A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape
but a woman of strength looks deep inside to keep her soul in shape

A strong woman isn't afraid of anything
but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear

A strong woman won't let anyone get the best of her
but a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future
but a woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be blessings and capitalizes on them

A strong woman walks sure footedly
but a woman of strength knows when to ask for help

A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face
but a woman of strength wears grace

A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey
but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong

January 17, 2007: For Women Only

THE PURPLE HAT
(Beautiful Women)

Age 3: She looks at herself and sees a Queen.
Age 8: She looks at herself and sees Cinderella.
Age 15: She looks at herself and sees an Ugly Sister (Mom, I can't go to school looking like this!)
Age 20: She looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly"- but decides she's going out anyway.
Age 30: She looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly"-but decides she doesn't have time to fix it so she's going out anyway.
Age 40: She looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly"-but says, "At least, I am 'clean"and goes out anyway.
Age 50: She looks at herself and sees "I am" and goes wherever she wants to go.
Age 60: She looks at herself and reminds herself of all the people who can't even see themselves in the mirror anymore. Goes out and conquers the world.
Age 70: She looks at herself & sees wisdom, laughter and ability, goes out and enjoys life.
Age 80: Doesn't bother to look. Just puts on a purple hat and goes out to have fun with the world.

Maybe we should all grab that Purple Hat a little earlier.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen within her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole.
But true beauty of a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows
