As a birthday present for his daughter, my brother bought my niece a motorbike she can use as she travels from home to school. At first, I was like 'what?' What were you thinking? Don't you think it is dangerous for her to ride a motorbike on such a busy road? Then, my niece told me that she is only going to ride it around the campus. Then, finally I was able to breath normally, lol. I think she needs a cortech sport saddlebags for her motorbike. Her can use one, too for his motorcycle.Alright, since this thing s not cheap, I need to start saving so that I can but both of them these accessories for their motorbike and motorcycle. Sounds like a good plan, don't you think? Hopefully, I will have enough before Christmas is here.

The Need to Learn Things on My Own
It's tax filing time again; and if you need some help regarding tax preparation, you need to contact an accounting firm just like the accounting raleigh nc. They can help you with you tax problems and stuffs like that. I need to tell my friend about it since she lives near NC. I really want to help her, but being miles away from her, I can only refer her to this firm. I am glad I don't have to do our tax since my husband does this instead of me. Sometimes unexpected things happen and I need to learn to do this myself and not be totally dependent on my husband. You'll never know what will happen next, right?

Ways to Stay Looking Young
As 30 has come and gone and 40 creeps up on me, I’ve been thinking a lot about the best ways to keep my look fresh. Our culture is certainly youth-obsessed and everyone likes to look their best. However, it’s also important to explore your style and look in a way that reflects your true self, rather than the latest runway trend. Here are some tips for looking as good as you feel:
Personally, I’ve struggled with adult acne and, until about a year ago was using an acne-fighting cleanser on my whole face. I hadn’t realized the drying effects this had until I stopped using it for a week; my fine lines and wrinkles were much less apparent as the drying effects of the cleanser subsided.
Your own skin’s issues might be different, but a little scrutiny can help you identify problems that the products you’re using might actually be exacerbating. Personally, I prefer gentle cleansers, such as Neutrogena’s natural line or even Johnson & Johnson’s baby wash, paired with a sensitive skin moisturizer with sun protection, like something from Oil of Olay. Facials with extractions from a cosmetology professional every few months can help clear up chronically clogged pores. A spot treatment for acne, such as Persa-Gel 10 can be a better bet than an acne-specific face wash.

Protect and Love Your Skin
It’s easy to think that a new eye shadow or better blush will make your skin look better, and it might. But it’s also important to focus on the bare bones of skin health and protection. Often, as we get older, we fall into a skin care routine that we developed at a younger age. It’s time to stop and think about the products you’re using and if they’re really doing as much for your skin as you’d like.Personally, I’ve struggled with adult acne and, until about a year ago was using an acne-fighting cleanser on my whole face.

Play on Popular Styles
While we all have our own individual styles, it’s fun to keep up with trends as they come and go. As I get older, I’m realizing that true style consciousness doesn’t necessarily mean adopting every single look I see on the runway. It means selecting pieces and accents that fit my current style and my professional life. For example, this spring, chunky, ankle-strap white heels are all the rage, and these are something I can easily adopt into my wardrobe; long, see-through embroidered gowns – not so much.Invest in a Quality Foundation
Drugstore foundation has its place, but the skin of the adult woman isn’t it. I know that high-quality foundation is expensive – costing $40 and up for a little bottle, but trust me, it’s worth it (and it will last a while). The professionals in Sephora and high-end department stores can also help you find the perfect match for your tone and color, which you definitely can’t do at the neighborhood pharmacy or grocery store. I personally like the brand Makeup Forever HD, but there are many good options out there.Love Your Muscles
Incorporating light yoga and stretching into my life on a regular basis has completely changed the way I see my body. While the physical effects are definitely restorative and make my body feel more alive, it’s also been great for my body image to really spend time with my body appreciating all it can do. Also great for muscles: getting a massage every few months from a trained massage therapist. What a difference a massage from someone who knows what they’re doing can make. I highly recommend it!Sources

They suspended My Blog
Late last year, I have found out that the company who hosted one of my blogs had suspended my account with them without informing me. I just realized what they did when one day I couldn’t access my blog at all. I didn't know what the problem was and did the best I could to fix the problem but to no avail. Finally, I got a hold of them after trying to contact them through phone. They told me that they suspended my account because I wasn't paying for it. Duh, I have been renewing it for the last three years, and then all of a sudden they were telling me that I wasn't paying. I didn't want to argue with them, so I just asked them what will I do to pay to activate my account again, but told me that they don't do that anymore and that they can refer me to some web hosting company they know. I just said forget it since it's kid of expensive to do that. I just asked if they can send me the activation code so I can use it when I finally get a company to host my website. Thankfully, they agreed to send it to my email.
After that experienced, I decided not to use that company again ever! I am glad to have found a company to host my websites who is reliable and can be trusted. I tell you, I never thought that such company exists. Imagine suspending my account without telling me is not acceptable.
Anyway, I still have two blogs/sites that needs to be hosted and I am now looking for a web hosting company that is reliable, can be trusted and that offers a lot of things that can be beneficial for my websites. I have found some company, but is leaning towards one. What made me chose this certain is that my website can be up in no time (30 minutes) compare to others that will take a week or so for a website to be up. Well, I can wait that long. I have a job to do with my website that needs immediate attention otherwise I would lose some money. With this web hosting company, I just can relax while they do the transferring for me.

Trip to Florida
Spring break almost over for my friend's children, while my son's spring break is not going to start till first of April. I don't understand why my son's school decided do have their spring break a month later. I wished they didn't do that. Now, my son and his friends didn't get the chance to play together. Plus our plan to go to the Grand Canyon together this spring didn't go through, bummer! This summer my friend and her family are going to Florida. They'll be staying in one of her friend's house in Tampa. They'll be needing to rent a limo tampa to take them to Disneyworld. Now, she asked me if I can find a rent a car in Tampa that is affordable. I think I need to call my cousin in Florida to see if she could recommend me one. My cousin and her family travels a lot around Florida and I am pretty sure she can help me and my friend find a car rental that offers great deals on limo rental.

Discount on Scrubs
Lately, we have been receiving a lot of flyer on the mail. It's been overwhelming! I feel like we are collecting junks. At first we were happy about it because it is very useful when we light our fireplace. But now that winter is almost over, we don't know where to put them in. Then, I thought about recycling it.; and decided to finally drop it at recycle area close to our house. But first I need to go through it to see if there is a flyer I can give to my friend, something about discount scrubs. A discount coupon can save her a few bucks when she buys a new medical scrub. She said that scrubs can be expensive sometimes and a few bucks can save her a lot if she buys more than one pair of her uniform. It would be nice if I could be of help in anyway I can even if it just a few dollar or more.

File an Actos Lawsuit
Diabetes is a life threatening disease and million of American suffer from it including me. I remember when I first diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I was very scared! So, when the doctor told me to exercise, eat healthy diet, and limit sugar intake as well as carbs, I immediately followed his advised. Luckily, I was able to manage my diabetes. People said that "once a diabetic, always a diabetic." After few months, the doctor put me on oral medication; good thing it was the actos otherwise I could have suffered from actos bladder cancer. I heard that some people took this medication and have been diagnosed with bladder cancer . It is so sad :-(; now they need to file an actos lawsuit for the company, Takeda Phamaceuticals for not doing thorough or enough research before putting the drug on the market. Many of the Actos users who did contract bladder cancer have filed a suit against Takeda performed before putting the drug on the market. So, if you are one of them, you have the a legal right to file a lawsuit....do it now before it is too late!

Excited for the Spring
Springtime is one of my favorite season aside from fall because it keeps me busy outdoor. I can do some gardening, mow the lawn, walk, ride bike or simply just sit outside on my a outdoor chair reading my books. Talking about spring, I couldn't wait till it's spring break so we can go to Utah to attend the semi - annual General Conference of the church (LDS). It will be our first time to see the prophet speaks to us face to face. After that event, we will do some camping around that state before finally going home. Too bad we planned on driving to Las Vegas to see my sister in - law and her boyfriend, but due to the fact that renting a car would costs us $400 when we return the car in Vegas instead of Utah, what a bummer. We figured flying would be better...and that's what we are planning to do.

Safety First Before Anything Else
Safety of my family is one of my most priority in life. I'll do everything to protect them. Since I only have one child, I am very protective of him. I worry a lot especially when my son is outside home. But sad to say that I don't have control of everything around him when he is not home. My husband teases me when I share with him some of my worries about my son. Well, can you blame me? We already loss our first child, I couldn't afford to lose another one again. I don't know what were a church friend in - laws were thinking when they didn't put pool fences around their swimming pool. Because of that mistake, they loss one of their grandchildren who is only 2 year old when he died. If they couldn't afford to put fences for their swimming pool, they could have at least kept an eye of that child very closely. I felt bad for my friend. I am pretty sure that after that incident, the first thing they did was call a company that installs pool fences.
