Spices of Life

Even when I was young, photography invariably fascinates me and made me inclined to take that hobby. From way back, I was so eager to learn picture taking that gave me an idea how to blend in with family and friends every instance there was a party or family gatherings.

Initially, I took off with a small compact cameras and eventually decided to go digital. I remember, it was confusing which camera should I buy for the reason that the market has a lot of different brands to choose from. What I did was, I started learning the basic understanding with digital camera. So I did some research and exchanged thoughts to my friends who owned digital cameras and consulted them how they prefer their own. I also asked what features they frequently used and what brands are good for recommendation. Furthermore, I scoured online and visited websites that give evaluations and reviews for different type of digital cameras.

After much careful consideration, I decided to buy the Canon Camera because it is widely known for its high quality optics, dependability and easy to use. It's no doubt that Canon Cameras often prevail as the most popular cameras around the world.

So I take my camera anywhere I go and started to discover the world in different perspective as I directed myself to be aware of possibilities to capture good photographs. And since I was always on the go, I was motivated to take more shots and pride myself with the great results. I am just enjoying the marvels of photography and indeed, was happy with my decision to purchase the Canon camera.

However, my hubby recently rekindled his love for photography and his quest for a new camera is on. Actually, he is leaning to purchase the Nikon camera as the Nikon Cameras are regarded with great favor by professional photographers and users. I guess, this camera is a great gift for Father's day and Im pretty sure he'll be surprise to receive the present next week.

Certainly, if you are a New Yorker or living in California you are surely familiar and did try Pinkberry's yogurt. Yep! it's the famous frozen yogurt that was been the craze in Hollywood and putting a new direction for frozen yogurt.

Since learning that everybody got crazy about the Pinkberry's, in my mind I was aware I have to try this out to gratify my peculiarity despite the fact that this hype appeared to be overrated. Lucky thing, we don't need to drive through Hollywood just to get this yogurt as we can get it nearby our place. Yet , we were compelled and decided to drive off to L.A. hoping we were able to catch a glimpse of some celebrities getting their own Pinkberry's.

We were filled with enthusiasm but felt downhearted because of the long queue that went down all the way through the sidewalk. Jeez , but notwithstanding, we were trusting that these pesky long lines would be worthy all the wait.

Anyway, Pinkberry comes with merely 2 flavors which are the green tea and the original. I got frantic for the reason that green tea is one of my fave flavor ( remember the Haagen-Dazs ice cream?). Luckily, the movement of the lines turned out quickly while I was captured by the striking colors of toppings as they seemed so hearty. So I ordered the green tea flavor with three toppings of mochi, raspberry and strawberry. My response from the very beginning when I tasted it was: hhhmmm.. it's a tangy yogurt treat but I like it plus the yummy toppings that complement the flavor.

How about you, did you try the Pinkberry's too?

Our 16 month old toddler who is very mobile right now is so driven to explore anything in his way. But mostly, we as parents are trying to give him more encouragement to explore further yet in a certain way that shields him from possible injury. So we made our home child safety by installing high quality baby proofing items.

It's really good to know that we were able to take off any potential dangerous spots that may not draw attention from our standpoint. And since our home has numerous furnishings, we put corner protectors to avoid our toddler getting injured from running around into sharp borders or edges.

Placing Baby Gates at the top and bottom of the stairs gave us a big sigh of relief knowing that he will not get harm if he wants to cruise the steps. We did install Cabinet Locks to each drawers, shelves and cupboard to ensure that his curious little finger cannot open it. However, making a point that all the safety basics are being covered as well as the emergency phone numbers posted nearby our phones, gave us a great deal peace of mind.

We may have our home entirely baby proofed, yet concentrating more on what our baby is doing plays important role. Regardless how much effort we put on it, we cannot guarantee to make our home 100% accident proof. To do that, it is essential that we always keep an eye with our baby and be attentive to his needs all the time.

Have you heard about the troubling study results regarding poisonous substance found in cosmetics? The outcome was been published by Environmental Working Group who generally searched the toxins were detected within the bodies of adolescent girls who often apply cosmetics.

The said chemicals have been related to life-threatening health concerns like hormone interruption and cancer.

However, they found 2 kinds of parabens in each girl being tested specifically the propylparaben and methylparaben. To those who are not familiar with the meaning of parabens, they are known as synthetic chemicals often used as preservatives that are being added in cosmetics.

The report discovered that more teenage girls apply personalized care products compared to grownup females. Many adolescents unwittingly exhibiting themselves to highest levels of toxins from using cosmetics simultaneously in a situation that their bodies are quickly varying and yielding readily to damage.

Equally as a mother, it's the reality that our kids are exposing themselves to a quantity of synthetic chemicals everyday, where numerous of them have never undergo a test for safety.
So what is the solution? Don't allow your teens to use make-up? I am certain that a lot of Mommies have a teeny girls that are at any rate ten years off from the period when they will shift their own faux make up kit to the actual stuff yet teens who adore their care products, permitting or forbidding them to use those would still spell misfortune.

So if she must apply her makeup, leastwise you'll be aware that the thing she is wearing on her face wont harm her deep down.
