A friend of mine who have been a SAHM for a few years now like me decided it’s time for her to go back to the corporate world. She son is old enough for childcare now and she feels that it’s the right time for her to be looking for a job once again. I don’t know anything about New York job search but I do hope she finds one that would be perfect for her. She hopes she gets calls for interview by next week, she even bought a few outfits for her interviews and I can tell she’s really excited. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for her….
The weather is so hot! Oh my I hate going out because I feel like I’m an ice cream sitting under the sun ready to melt in an instant. We’re bracing for a more humid weather in coming weeks. Our PUB bill will surely go up as we use the a/c more and the fans too. I’m thinking if it would be better if we have a ceiling fan in our bedroom instead of the normal stand fan. We use the a/c too but I really hate having it on the whole day, not good for the skin and it would burn holes in our pockets at the end of the month. We’ll see how it goes this month….
Sharing some of my new layouts….
These are some of my layouts for my March Portfolio challenges at Sweet Shoppe Designs. The kits and elements I used for the layouts above are from the store as well. I just mix and match items from various designers and voila I have some nice layouts of my little girl. I must say the challenges this month inspired to me to scrap, I’m having so much fun participating.
This pretty kit called Dainty is by Creashens at Catscrap, I think it’s ohhh so girly and sweet. I was reading up about relacore when I got the Catscrap newsletter on my mailbox and so I visited the site to see all their new releases up close.I love the cute little elements in this kit, it would dress up girly scrapbook layouts. I have a little girl so kits like this calls my name (lol). I’m hoping to scrap a few pages this weekend.
I can see how much not getting enough sleep is doing to my skin to for the past week I’ve been going to bed at decent hours and I can see the improvements already. I no longer have to worry about deark circles under eyes anymore, besides having my eye cream I think I will be fine. It’s really true that enough sleep can do wonders to our skin, I believe that now. If only it’s easy to get enough sleep every night, sometimes I get preoccupied with things and before I knew it hours have passed and it’s already midnight. Oh well I guess I need to try to make going to bed earlier than I’m used to a routine.
I have a headache….again and I hate it. It comes at the worst time, I am suppose to finish some tasks today and all I can do is crawl to bed. It’s hard to focus when you feel like your head is being pounded by nails. I usually just sleep off the headache and don’t need migraine relief because I feel after when I wake up. Sometimes when it’s more than I can handle I take panadol then sleep, it does the trick everytime.
A new month means a new set of challenges at Sweet Shoppe Designs are in place. You can check out March Scrapper’s Porfolio here. And I was so inspired this the challenges I scrapped five layouts for it (four of it I did in one day). I’m happy to say I’m in the zone again and I love the pages I created and I love scrapping again. I sort of had a burn out for the past months, not liking my pages that much but now my scrapping mojo is back. I’m going to post my layouts here next time.
I’ve been using the same skincare products for more than a year now and so far I’m satisfied. I still have oily skin and I haven’t found anything that actually helps combat it but at least I don’t need acne treatment. It’s a good thing I know how to edit pictures on photoshop otherwise I’ll have an oily face on most my pictures. I guess I could try switching to other products and see if there’s one that would actually work for my oily skin.
I plan to do a bit of grocery shopping today otherwise we would starve. Our fridge and pantry is pretty empty and I need to stock up on food items again. There’s other items I want to pick up at the store too, like cleaning and skincare products. No I’m not on searching for the best treatment for adult acne but rather the best cleaner that would remove stubborn stains of my counters. I’m glad I’m not dealing with acne but I really need to get that stain off my counter, it’s unsightly and it has to come off.
I met a couple of moms at school, our kids are all at nursery so we end up chatting after we drop them off to class. They’re all nice and we talk about all sorts of things like parenting, jobs, bags and many others. It’s nice to have other women to talk to, wow I am getting a social life again. All of us are SAHMs but they have kids who are in primary and secondary school unlike me who only have one preschooler. We’re already planning an outing when the school vacation comes and I’m looking forward to it. I’m sure my princess would love to go swimming with her friends.
