Now that I’m close to turning to the big 3-0, I’m becoming more and more conscious about the way I look. I certainly do not want to turn 30 looking like I’m ten or fifteen years older than I am. I do not have wrinkles yet, thank God, but at this point i have to make sure I take good care of my skin, if i don’t want fine lines to appear here and there anytime soon. I’m sharing with you a few tips that I found earlier.

• Drink 8-12 glasses of water daily to ensure that you are fully hydrated.
• Never forget to use sunscreen, especially nowadays when the heat is absolutely unbearable.
• Wear shades whenever you need to get out in the sun. Doing so also enables you to protect your eyes from UV rays.
• Stop smoking or better yet, don’t start. Smoking damages the collagen, as studies have proven that smokers are five times more likely to show excessive wrinkles and creases of facial skin.
• Use a moisturizer that is prescribed by your dermatologist. Normally for oily skinned folks like me, it is best to use gels instead of creams. At the same time, if you already have fine lines starting to appear, ask your dermatologist for a wrinkle cream that would suit you best.

Hope that helps.

My son is currently addicted to these girls ever since his father introduced him to their videos. Kindly watch the video and you’ll see that I need not explain why. I’m just kinda surprised my 2 year old is so fascinated with pretty and skimpy girls, he’s particularly attracted to the long haired one. hehe

My mom has been nagging me to cut back on my food intake and to become try out more activities other than reading my pile of books and facing my laptop. I know I need to and that she has a point. My new manager and friend and I had a pact that we will hit the gym and start eating healthy come June. The 25lbs weight loss goal of mine should be off before my birthday. If only I’ll have the patience to work out on my goal and to keep the bulge off. Meanwhile, I’m actually considering taking medication if that would help and speed things up. But I still need to ask my doctor on which one I should take. Right now, I’m reading reviews for Xenical and Lipozene and will still ask my doctor. I’m thinking it will also be good to go back to the nutrition and dietary department of UST. Oh well, just thinking out loud here folks.
