Scary Activities for Halloween

      A day ago, on my other blog, I posted my short article about costume attires used by my nieces and nephews in the States. Now I will be talking something related to a particular holiday which is perfect with costume attires. This event is no other than the Halloween.

               Halloween is celebrated or observed mostly in western countries every 31st of October. House owners decorated indoor halloween décor to make it more realistic. And there are a lot of scary yet fun activities to be done during this day. Some of them are the carving jack-o'-lanterns, visiting every available haunted attractions or horror houses, sharing with friends the scariest stories they know, watching horror movies, attending costume parties, and the must not be forgotten trick-or-treating activity.

                Whew! I'm scared of a lot of things but I can face them with my family and friends. How about you? What do you usually do during the 31st of October? What's your most unforgettable Halloween experience?

How to Save on Your Grocery Bills


If there are ways on how you can save, you would grab the opportunity right? Imagine the amount of money that you can save and how you can use these extra cash for something else. Perhaps you can give yourself a little reward? Here are some tips on how you can cut back your grocery expenses:

Cut and clip those coupons. Yes, coupons are still the best way to save on practically anything. Check your Sunday newspaper and cut those grocery coupons and start organizing them. Set a side a few minutes of your time trying to find coupons on various resources and even online. You’ll be surprised on how much you can save when you use them. Just a piece of advice: make sure to read the fine print before you present them in order to avoid any problems.

You can also sign up for a membership card on your favorite grocery store. If you frequent a specific store every week, it will be better to enroll on their membership club or loyalty rewards programs. Stores offer reward points to loyal customers and in time you could redeem them. Often they also offer discounts on items exclusive only for members.

Determine your needs from wants. Do you really have to buy the most expensive cooking oil on the shelf or you can opt for the other one? Compare prices and don’t immediately jump in the first item that you see. It pays to look around and scan through the wide selection before buying.

Remember that as a smart shopper, take your time and do not rush your grocery shopping. The ever reliable grocery list could also come in handy.

I just would like to add something: It doesn't take an online masters in accounting (although everyone would benefit by taking an online accounting class or two) to know to take every opportunity to save money.

Our Fish Foot Spa Experience



























          It's Wednesday again! And what's with Wednesdays? Hmmm. It's the time to post our entries for the wednesday memes, especially the Wednesday Whites meme by ate Raya. :) Okay, so here's my post for this week---photos from our Manila adventure. We went to the famous Star City amusement park. One of the things I enjoyed the most was when we had our first ever fish foot spa together. It was sooooo fun that we were laughing the whole time.
           As you can see, the fishes are big, unlike the usual fishes in other fish foot spas. It was more ticklish because its mouth were bigger. Haha. But it was so refreshing after the spa. Overall, we had so much fun.
Don't know if this practice would be part of lpn certification, but it was very therapeutic!

           How about you, friends? Have you tried the fish foot spa?

Achieving the Best of Health With Elite Whey Protein


            Everyone nowadays is beginning to be health-conscious. Of course with all the junk we are eating from fast and processed foods, it would be good to be thinking of how to live a healthy, long life. It is a fact that although we strive to eat healthy foods, we could not get all the necessary protein, vitamins and minerals that our body needs and requires from our diet alone.

           This is the reason why we would need elite whey protein. This is especially recommended for sports people who need to have a balanced, healthy diet that could cope with their active lifestyles. With this food supplement, one is guaranteed that he gets the protein, carbohydrates, fats and vitamins that the body needs and requires. It is not meant to replace the regular meals, but to supplement them.

           For those who are trying to work out in order to have those muscles you have always wanted, it is a fact that you cannot get those with just pure weight lifting. It would take years for you to achieve that, but with elite whey protein, you can have those muscles a lot sooner than you think! You can stretch your energy level to the fullest, enjoy the best health and be the sports person you have always wanted to be. This food supplement just might be what you need.

A GIFT FOR THE BRIDE


           Once in a while I get invited to a bridal shower party. It is always a challenge what to give the soon-to-bride! I always give gifts that she could use in her married life like a good marriage book or something like that. Sometimes I give a wedding night lingerie.

            My friends would always have a good time when we celebrate those shower parties. It is always a perfect time to have an all-girls get together… and of course it is always fun to spend time with a friend who will soon be entering marriage.

            I can’t help but wonder, though… when will a bridal shower party be hosted for me?
