Walking on Winter Times

It's challenging to keep up with fitness goals  during Winter times.  I mean I like it that I have  some  exercise machine at our  mini gym downstairs but nothing can compare the feeling of  walking/running   outdoors.  Whenever the  winter temperature is bearable, I  make sure to go out for a walk after  dropping my kids off to school.  It's painful  during the  first 15 minutes but  as you get warmed up, it gets better.  

This week though, I did not have the opportunity because  it's snowing so  hard and  also rained so it's icy outside, too dangerous to walk.  The key is to bundle up ,before you go out so that your fingers won't feel like you are having a frost bite lol.

To the Woman Who Inspired me the Most

Happy birthday to the  the most resilient, understanding, hardworking, and most of all, LOVING woman in the whole universe.  Love you Ma!

All I can do is to pray

with my  own kids.

I wish I could call or visit everyday

It is so hard being away from you.

I know that it is hard for you too.

You are my inspiration and my first rock

I ask God to bless you and take care of you.

I can't wait to see you!

To the best Mom, 

We LOVE you!

5 Enjoyable Toys for Grown-Ups

Summer holidays aren’t all about the kids, you know! It’s a great time for the grown-ups to have some fun as well. Perhaps there are some new toys you’ve been dying to try out? If so, take advantage of the great weather and treat yourself to a turn. Here are five enjoyable toys for grown-ups you might like to try out this summer.

1. Jet Skis

These fun water vehicles come in a wide range of styles and types. You can get jet skis for one rider, two or more, and there are models designed for recreational cruising as well as sportier ones that are better for racing through the water. Whatever you’re interested in, getting a little speed and power out on the water can be a great way to get your heart racing. To check out the different kinds of jet skis that are available, check out the websites of water sports specialists, such as JSW Powersports.

2. Off-Road Bikes

Whether it’s a trike, bike or quad bike, off-road driving can be a fun way to tear up a little dirt and de-stress. All-terrain vehicles for this type of activity come in a range of shapes and sizes, and you can head off road into the mud on your own or with a group. Some vehicles are built for one or two passengers only, while others are family-sized and can accommodate four or six.

3. Boats

Nothing says summer like getting out on the water. Whether it’s fishing off the side of your boat or cruising the inlets and bays of your local estuary, boats are one of the most enjoyable toys with which a grown-up can play. With a few lessons, you could soon be out on the water in either a sailboat or a cabin cruiser, enjoying the combination of wind and water, and putting a calm distance between yourself and the cares and stresses of everyday life.

4. Hot Laps

A true toy for grown-ups, racing round a racetrack at top speed is undoubtedly an enjoyable experience for those who have always wanted to drive as fast as they can without limits and all the usual rules in the way. Most people have fantasized about becoming a racing car driver at some point in their lives, so what are you waiting for? Give this a go and cross one more thing off that bucket list.

5. Toy Plane or Helicopter

If you like a little speed and action with your toys without putting yourself in any actual danger, motorized toy planes and helicopters could provide you with countless hours of enjoyment, particularly with some of the sophisticated and advanced models that are now available. Fun for all ages, this is the toy that kids play with at Christmas while the grown-up men watch on enviously, happily stepping in to “show them how it’s done” when necessary.

Taking some time to do something that makes you smile is important. What’s your favorite ‘grown-up’ toy? Have you passed down a toy to your kids that you secretly still love to play with? Comment below.

Red Bootie

These are my advanced Christmas presents from hubby.  A pair of  red Covington shoes, a red bag, and a Bongo faux leather jacket.

Red is my most favorite color so I was tickled with  his presents, thanks Hon!

I dressed for my husband so I am grateful whenever  he picks the clothes and accessories for me.  

 I think our dog  Bolt love the color red as well.

I love this shoes because it is so light and it is so comfortable to walk.  Unlike my other bootie, this one is very comfortable for my feet.

Feeling me on Christmas  day, a splash of red  can make me really happy!  This last photo was taken by my daughter at my  father-in-law's house when we visited him during Christmas day.

Thank you all for visiting and for leaving your thoughts!  I value every  comment you make and the time and effort as well.

Benefits of Sleep Aids

If you have difficulties falling asleep or staying asleep at night, then consider getting a sleep aid. Companies like Chemist Australia sell sleeping tablets for those who need a little help to get enough rest. Most sleeping tablets are safe to take, and there are many benefits of taking a tablet to help you sleep.

One of the benefits of taking sleeping pills is that you can get a restful night's sleep. If you work different shifts, then you might find it hard to go to sleep during the day after working at night. You will be able to get your body on a routine if you take the pills at the same time each night. When you see that you are able to go to sleep on your own and stay asleep, then you won't need to take the pills, or you can slowly wean yourself off of them.

Sleeping pills should only be taken on a short-term basis as some of them can be addicting. You can consult with your doctor about the best tablets to take, and the doctor might be able to write a prescription for tablets that you can get through companies online. There are also sleeping tablets that you can get without a prescription. You need to read all of the directions before taking them so that you don overdose and so that you know of the possible side effects. Many of the side effects related to sleeping pills are known by doctors and pharmacists, so as long as you ask about something before taking the pills, you will likely see a good night's sleep in no time. Most sleeping pills work quickly, so you should try to take them as close to the time you want to go to sleep as possible.

If you don't want to take something with a chemical in it, then consider some of the herbal aids that are available. These contain ingredients that are naturally found in the body. These are just as effective as some of the other pills that you can get, an they are often less addicting because they are made of natural ingredients. Sleeping pills are ideal if you need to get up early in the morning for a special event and need to be as rested as possible. You will often be able to get about seven to eight hours of sleep when you take sleeping aids.
