Christmas holiday is less than four months away, but I am already thinking and planning about my Christmas shopping. During the holidays it will be busy as everyone is out buying stuffs, it is not really advisable, easy and safe to be shopping that time, aside from the prices that will increase on the eve, so we should wisely shop for the gifts early. If you know, the best time to shop where we can save the most is during the Black Friday, November 28th, the day after the Thanksgiving Day. On Black Friday most items are sold the cheapest in that time of the year. In that way I cannot only save, but also I can actually buy more…

Timepieces are supposed to last for a long time, but if you don’t take proper care for the watch it won’t last. To maximize the lifespan of your watch, just follow the specific instructions provided in the accompanying owner’s manual. To clean your watch, wipe it with soft cloth. Unless your watch is specifically designed for diving, avoid exposing a leather or fabric watch band or any watch case to water. Hot or even warm water can cause air in the case to expand therefore allowing water to penetrate the case. Avoid exposing your quarts to magnets as this can affect its time-keeping abilities.

Crying is much better than keeping the emotional stressor to be bottled up inside. It is a form or release, to let everything out, that is why it feels good after a good cry, but not always. Sometimes the aftermath is a monster headache. Why do we feel intense headache after a hard cry? Don’t ask me why I cried to come up with this post, but the head felt like it would explode. There’s not much medical info about it but the most plausible reason is that: when crying,

The pulse and heart rate increase, your breathing quickens, you take breaths often in large grasps and hold it in between. Thus the oxygen level in our blood is reduced,…

They say that ‘diamond is forever’ for a diamond is one of the hardest substances on earth. But a hard blow can still be damaging, that is why we should treat our diamond jewelry gently. We don’t have to wear it always. We should remove the diamond jewelry when working with household chemicals like cleansers or hairspray, and activities like gardening or doing dishes. We must also check regularly to be sure that the prongs are securely holding the diamond in place.

To clean your diamond jewelry, soak in a solution of one part ammonia and six parts water. Using a soft brush we can loosen dirt, then rinse well to renew the brilliance.

If your diamond jewelry is accompanied by an…

My cat, Ashi, was up to something that made me curious and I saw it right away. In my panic, I ran around the rocking chair away from the bushes and got my digital camera nearby. Goodness, it was then after taking this picture that I called hubby telling him that there was a snake. I thought they did not believe me and the photo was not clear. There were also workers that time so they tried to kill the snake with a shovel.

It was a copperhead. A poisonous pit viper. What alarmed me more was that there could still be some of them around and might be camouflaging with the leaves on my way to the garden.

This is a good…

Did you watch the olympics Sunday? I had for a short time and most of it was on the women’s marathon, unfortunately, I was not able to watch Constantina Tomescu-Dita of Romania cross the finish line, I was just assuming she won because of the great lead she had over the pack. At 38, Tomescu-Dita is the oldest Olympic women’s marathon champion now, and because of her age I wanted her to win, yeah, but with her experience, she is the best already. One thing though I noticed she had something from her hips that she sniffed, (I missed where she got the first one). Commentators said about ‘carbohydrate’ thing at first, later a “smelling salt”. I was curious to…

Fat hen or henbane? These are both plants; fat hen is perfectly edible, “You can use the leaves in salads like spinach, make tea and eat the roots,” said Mr Worrall Thompson; while “henbane is a very toxic plant and should never be eaten”, an urgent warning issued by Healthy & Organic Living magazine’s website.

Henbane – Hyoscyamus niger – has sticky serrated leaves, yellow, funnel-shaped flowers and a stale scent.

The weed’s name has Anglo-Saxon origins – meaning killer of hens – and it can cause drowsiness, hallucinations and disorientation in humans. Larger quantities can cause a loss of consciousness, seizures, trembling of the limbs and, in extreme cases, death. “Henbane is associated with lots of mythical tales – it’s said…
