I got this from one of my e-groups a couple of days ago. Definitely some food for thought! :)
Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right.
Love the ones who don't just because you can.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Kiss slowly.
Forgive quickly.
God never said life would be easy.
He just promised it would be worth it.
Are you still wondering what to get your loved ones for Christmas? If they wear prescription glasses and you just happen to know the grades on their lenses, then why not check out the Holiday Glass Frames from Zenni Optical? They offer cheap yet good quality specs in different styles and colors to suit everyone's tastes. That is why they are known as the popular online eyeglasses shop as they have deals like the $ 8 Complete Rx Eyeglasses. So get online now, and see if you can pick up an item or two at their store.
... That is the question.
You Are Somewhat Approachable |
 You are a fairly friendly person, and you're definitely not scaring people away. You do tend to have your guard up strangers, and rightfully so. How approachable you are depends on who is trying to approach you. You're friendly to people who seem harmless and nice. But you also know how to give creepy people the cold shoulder! |
Well, I am off my medications now. It is actually day two since I stopped popping my pills. I have not been the person I was, and I honestly blame it on my meds as they were hormonal in nature. Among all the side effects that I had experienced, being able to go back to my pre-pregnancy weight was the only positive one. Maybe it was also an appetite suppresant for all I know. Now I will have to observe if there will be any significant changes. If I go fat, but am back to the happier person I was then I can certainly conclude that those pills were the culprit.
There are days when you cannot just find the inspiration to write. Sometimes you just feel so emotionally and physically drained that there seems to be no creative bone left in your body. Things happen. People change. I just can't handle that right now.
And if I did the get the chance to, I would definitely give Zenni Optical a go because of the Variable Dimension Frames From Zenni, and you really get Great Eyeglasses For Less. In fact, they sell quality eyeglasses at such a bargain that Zenni Optical was on FOX news! If that's not enough to convince you, maybe you should check out the video clip of Zenni on Fox.
If you are an amateur with makeup (like me), these tool tips from Beauty Heaven will definitely come in handy when you are trying get your gear together for a good makeup kit.
Top tool #1: Eyelash curlers
All of our resident experts said eyelash curlers, eyelash curlers, eyelash curlers! One even swore blind that they boosted the effect of mascara by at least 50 per cent. So only slightly important for creating that lush lash look.

Top tool #2: Foundation brush
For flawless foundation, always apply with a brush. It’s a make-up must-have for the experts.

Top tool #3: Eye brush
Wondering why your smoky eye is more Rocky Horror than smokin’ hot? It’s probably because you’re using the little applicators that come with the compact (perfect for a touch-up but not the real deal). Start blending with a good quality brush and you’ll be amazed at the difference. We promise.

Top tool #4: Brow brush
Brows frame the face. Fact. And if you can’t quite get to the brow bar (or face a pluck), a quick brush of your brows will leave you good as new in no time. Just don’t go getting obsessed. It’s not like we are. Not at all.

Top tool #5: Big bronzer brush
The bigger the better according to make-up guru Yolanda Lukowski. That way, you get a more natural coverage. Her top tip? “You want to sweep it over the face, not on concentrated areas, also dust quickly over your decolletage and shoulders too.”

Top tool #6: Nail file
Ladies don’t bite. They don’t tear either. So make sure you always have an emery board to hand – we love them; there’s a gorgeously old Hollywood glamour feel about filing your nails. Wouldn’t granny be proud!

Top tool #7: Toothbrush
You can tell a lot about a girl by her shoes and her smile. Snap up a battery operated one (plonked right between electric and manual pricewise) and dazzle everyone with your pearly whites.

Top tool #8: Tweezers
As make-up pro Elsa Morgan says, “polished brows give a lovely lift to a face at any age.” Slanty, pointy, the choice is yours. Of course, if you’re indecisive – like us – you’re best bet is to go for dual-ended.

Top tool #9: Rosewater
Hair and make-up artist Nicole Groch swears by rosewater. According to the pro, it’s great over and under make-up as it refreshes, restores, tones and hydrates the skin. All together now: good skin = good make-up.

Top tool #10: Clean hands
Your hands are your best tool – as Yolanda says, “you can do anything with 10 fingers to blend make-up with!” But always keep them clean: grubby grime and bountiful bacteria are never going to be the shades of the season.

Speaking of driving, J took me out for my first official driving lesson in two years. The last one I got from him was before I was even pregnant with our daughter, so you can imagine my anxiety before we took off. I was all tense and nervous, and my hands hurt while grabbing on to the steering wheel. But when we were driving towards Tharwa bridge, the "rural-ness" of the place seemed to calmed my nerves. I did not realise that we lived just near such rural areas, and the scenery was just awesome. There were no houses in site, just animals grazing on the vast land. I think we would have needed a mobile router had we used our phones in that area. I regret for not taking my camera along. It would have been awesome taking those beautiful landscape shots.
Oh, and I digress. After 40 minutes of driving around using a stick shift within our suburb and nearby rural area, J gave me a 6 out of 10. I hope next time I can score a bit higher. :)
What Your Driving Says About You |
 You are generally an easy going, laid back person. However, you can't help but feel a little jealous and competitive sometimes! You are always increasing your awareness of the world around you. You are a life long learner. You are a very fair person. You treat everyone equally, even when it's difficult to do. You are a calm, peaceful person. You realize that arguments are only temporary, and you try to give people the benefit of the doubt. You have mixed feelings about authority figures. You understand their place, but you believe their power needs to be in check. You are somewhat focused, but you are also a bit scatterbrained. Distractions can get you in trouble. You are a very responsible and conscientious person. You often consider the feelings and needs of others. Your ego is normally in check, but sometimes you get a bit egotistical. You tend to be a little self-important at times. |
I was raring to check out those Outer Banks rentals, because I would have wanted to go somewhere out of town during the long Christmas break. A change of scenery would have been nice but some family members from Melbourne will be coming up to see us during the holidays, so I guess that holiday escape is out of the question. I hope we get another chance to go on holidays before the year ends. I reckon we deserve a break from all the hustle and bustle from time to time.
