To Encourage Others

What is life if you cannot encourage and englighten the lives of the people around you. To smile or greet or say a kind word would make someone happy when they start their day. I am so very grateful to God for all the encouragement in my life with family and friends because they do help me get along my sad days too. My son is a great encourager because he tells me he loves me everyday with a hug and kiss.
Have you ever thought of how God have impact on our lives? Because he is there beside us every minute of the day. In thoughts and prayers , keep trusting in him always and Be Happy. The Joy of the Lord is my Strength! My motto in Life is To Be Kind Today!

My Prayer for Today and Always!

Through every minute of this day, Be With Me Lord!
Through every day of this week, Be With Me Lord!
Through every week of this year, Be With Me Lord!
So shall the days and weeks and years be threaded on a golden cord,
And all draw on with sweet accord into thy fullness, Lord that so,
When time is past, By Grace I may Last, Be with thee Lord.

Thank You Jesus for holding our lives and hands. In Jesus Name We Pray Amen.

Happy Mother's Day to all Mum's

It has been a while since i have written on my blog, have been busy, but i discovered the importance of a Facial be it for a lady or man. Looking after our face is importance and a nice way to pamper ourselves. There are abundance of different kinds of products in the market and we have to test them to see the suitability for our face.

Facial Tips and Tricks:

* Choosing a facial mask requires one to pay keen attention to the skin type and purchase a facial mask in accordance with the skin’s needs. These few minutes dedicated to finding the right kind of facial mask is what will spell the difference for the freshened and revitalized look to your face.

* The other great benefit of commercially available facial masks is that they require minimum effort on your part as all the beautification, detoxification and exfoliation work is done by the active ingredients of the facial masks.

* A facial mask is a unique and instantaneous way to complement the daily skin care routine and adds to the breathing power granted to the pores of the skin when combined with the beauty regime of cleansing, toning and moisturizing.

* Whether your facial is the mask variety or cream-and-wash kind, take care that it must not be done too frequently as this can endanger the ph balance of your skin. Applying a facial mask should be restricted to a weekly procedure and correspond to your skin type to ensure the most positive beautifying effect to your face.

* If you have a dry skin, look for facials that will replenish the moisture needed by your facial skin and go in for products that offer coco or shea butter, lanolin, Vaseline, natural or scented fruit or nut-extract oils for extra nourishment. Fruit extracts like strawberry, peach, apricot and banana with milk components are believed to rejuvenate and hydrate dry skin.

* Choose a facial that will soften the upper derma layers and improve its color, clean and contract, intensify circulation of blood so you get that healthy, youthful glow on your face.

* Always thoroughly cleanse your skin to receive the maximum benefit of a home facial and include the neck area for massaging and treating during a facial too!

Since Mum's Day is coming on May 10th, why dont we treat ourselves and our mother's to a nice facial. Wishing all Mum's a Blessed Mother's Day! Go ahead and Pamper Yourselves, it is your day! We love our children and they love us too , to give us a day of Relaxation ourselves!

Happy Mother's Day! Thank you Mum for everything!

Blessed New Year!

A New Year, New Wishes, New Hopes, New Dreams. Wishes to all of you. May Happiness and love always surround you.
I will not pen down my new year resolutions as i am afraid i will not stick to them but will keep it in my mind. The New Year went well for us because we relaxed and chilled out at home and i had to mentally prepare Matthew for school the following day. The orientation in school went well for him. We have both been busy these Christmas season so i decided to stay put.
Even though 2009 looks bleak but we know God is on our side and with Jesus holding our hands and hearts we can definitely look forward, walk and take on the challenge of 2009.
In Life we have to strive, pray and thank God for all his blessings.
His mercies are new to us each morning.

Christmas Wishes

Its Christmas time again, Here's to wishing all my family members and friends A Very Blessed Christmas and Happy New Year. Hoping all of you have success in the year 2009 and wishing good things in life for all. Besides all the merriment and gathering that will be happening, do remember the less fortunate and pray for them. Christmas can be a everyday affair when we remember to be kind to someone, anyone and to smile always. Christmas is in our hearts, a time to give and receive but giving is better than receiving. We have God to thank for all the blessings that he have given to us. Its time to cherish and share the love of Christ to others.
Wishing you all lots of happiness, with love from Rose and Matthew.

How to Energise Yourself!

If you're feeling a bit flat and out of the juice you need to get up and go, take a look at how you can kick start your energy levels pretty easily.
Breathe with me

Taking a few deep breaths can work wonders when it comes to getting re-energised. When you get up, before bounding straight to the bathroom, take a moment to take a few deep breaths and be calm before the busy day ahead gets going.

You can feel tired if you feel like you're constantly rushing around; taking a little time out can help.

Liquid aid

Drink lots of water. If you're dehydrated, you're going to feel less energetic. You should drink a glass of water when you get up and whenever you feel like you need an energy boost during the day. Drink around eight glasses a day. If water bores you, put some dilute juice in it to make a little more interesting.

Check your diet

Feeling sluggish might have something to do with what you're eating. Are you getting the nutrients you need? It goes without saying that plenty of fresh fruit and veg will keep your energy levels ticking over, but for a quick fix try a power boosting snack like wholemeal toast or a banana.

Shower power

To pep yourself, leap into the shower. For that extra zing try switching between hot and cold water for a little while.

Walk this way

A little bit of exercise can go a long way. Think about walking to school work or college or into town or taking up a sport which will keep you active.

Sleep tight, sleep right

It's important to get your rest. You should try and get up at the same time each day, whether you need to get up or not. If you feel like a nap during the day, take one as long as you don't sleep all day.

Get outside

You'd be surprised how getting out into the fresh air can lift your energy levels. Walking around outside for a couple of hours can help you sleep better too, which of course will leave you full of beans the next day.

Be Happy, Be Positive and Smile Always!
