Having acne problems?
Perhaps you have pimples and acne problems, we know it's something serious. With my experience, my brother and my cousin who used to have severe pimples before, they did everything to get rid off it, even spent hundreds of bucks. As for me, I didn't had such kinda issues, am so thankful for that. But every time a pimple shows off, I remember just doing one of those home acne remedies. Oatmeal or milk on my part do its wonders. Even avocados will work too. How about you? Which home remedy works for you? Those simple ways are often more effective than medications, isn't it?
Yummy Sunday 65: Eggpie with Tapioca pudding
Surely egg pie (custard cake)- is made of eggs and condense milk is one of my favorite dessert of all time. I remembered growing up, when my aunts or whoever in the family goes to town i beg them to buy me a slice of egg pie...haha! Anyway, i was craving for it the other day and timely i have the complete ingredients for it from ready made pie crust to eggs and milk perfect so i hastily fix one but this time i put a lil twist on it! Instead just a plain egg pie mix... i saw 4 tapioca pudding that it sits inside the fridge for quite awhile already so was thinking for a creamier and texture filling why not use it! Oh i tell you it is so good and yummylicious than ordinary egg pie recipe! Try it so you know what am saying about! Wink!Stressed
I think am stress again lately. Stressed with people and their pointless drama, lol! I know that I shouldn't be affected because we can't dwell on the negative side and they're not worth it but sometimes I just can't help it. Anyway, might as well find the best multivitamin for myself. Haha! They say that certain vitamins can eliminate stress and let's you feel refresh, I need that now. Oh well, I shouldn't be thinking about them anymore. Time to move on and hoping everything's gonna be great, at the end of the day. By the way hows your weekend guys? let's live a stress-free weeks ahead!

Prepping for Thanksgiving
Guest post written by Gina Finch
This Thanksgiving is going to be a big time commitment in the kitchen. Every year, our extended family picks a house to have Thanksgiving dinner at, and this year, itÕs my familyÕs turn to host. Our family is very large and it can be a very daunting task. However, everyone brings dishes we come together to help each other out during crunch time. This year, my two sisters and my very talented son, who is a professional chef, are all going to help me. The cooking itself wonÕt be too bad, but I still need to get the supplies and groceries.
Tomorrow, after I go into town to check out Hearing Aids Prices, I am going to stop at the local grocery store and start stocking up on a of the items that we need to make the main dishes happen. After that, I think IÕll head over to a superstore to pick up any extra accessories that we may need to make the place look festive. While itÕs going to be a lot of work, itÕs so rewarding to have the family together. I have a feeling itÕs going to be a very special occasion.

Sweet Thanksgiving treat
Guest post written by Betty Lee
I don't just have a sweet tooth. I always tell people that I have sweet teeth instead because I have to have some kind of sweet treat almost every day. I just love them so much! But people always assume that sweet things are desserts. I like incorporating a lot of sweet things into my meals every day. But I think that one of the really great times to do this is during Thanksgiving.
I was looking up sweet recipes for stuff to include in Thanksgiving this year when I ran across this website http://www.clearwirewimax4g.com/ adn read through it. I decided right after that that I was ready to switch over from my old internet company because I was so sick of it.
One thing that I know that I absolutely need to make is candied yams with marshmallows on top. They're my Thanksgiving favorite, for sure. I also found this really great honey glaze sauce to serve with ham, so I think that IÕm going to make some of that too. Plus, thereÕs always dessert too!

Winner & Loser
I can't help but nod to every word written in this email. In life, we're surrounded with winners and losers that's a fact. Now it's our choice which side to take sides.
The Winner is always part of the answer; The Loser is always part of the problem.
The Winner always has a program; The Loser always has an excuse.
The Winner says, “Let me do it for you”; The Loser says, “That is not my job.”
The Winner sees an answer for every problem; The Loser sees a problem for every answer.
The Winner says, “It may be difficult but it is possible”; The Loser says, “It may be possible but it is too difficult.”
When a Winner makes a mistake, he says, “I was wrong”; When a Loser makes a mistake, he says, “It wasn’t my fault.”
A Winner makes commitments; A Loser makes promises.
Winners have dreams; Losers have schemes.
Winners say, “I must do something”; Losers say, “Something must be done.”
Winners are a part of the team; Losers are apart from the team.
Winners see the gain; Losers see the pain.
Winners see possibilities; Losers see problems.
Winners believe in win-win; Losers believe for them to win someone has to lose.
Winners see the potential; Losers see the past.
Winners choose what they say; Losers say what they choose.
Winners use hard arguments but soft words; Losers use soft arguments but hard words.
Winners stand firm on values but compromise on petty things; Losers stand firm on petty things but compromise on values.
Winners follow the philosophy of empathy: “Don’t do to others what you would not want them to do to you”; Losers follow the philosophy, “Do it to others before they do it to you.”
Winners make it happen; Losers let it happen.
Winners plan and prepare to win.
The key word is preparation.

Log furniture are pretty
I've always thought so. Every time I see a house decorated with log furniture, I can't help but admire and just feel so relax and calm. Maybe because am a nature lover that's why I like such themes. So when I came across Jhe's, the real log furniture place, I went drooling, lol! Their cabin beds, bathroom vanities, desk and office furniture, fabrics and decor are so pretty. Just drop by their place and browse their selection and collections. One thing more, this kinda stuff makes me think of spa too. Now I wanna go to one,lol! Enjoy your week ahead everyone!
Blue Monday
It's my first time joining the Blue Monday meme, and it was my pleasure to join and be BM's follower! Here's my entry for this week. It is a weekend getaway spot for family or friends. Cabins by the lake, lots of boats and the Bluegill Grill, this though only opens from April to September when the temperature starts to get warm and hot. I tell yah this place is totally pack when summer time.
