Chocolates..
A friend of mine had been busy last December 28, 2012 for the last day of putting ICC stickers on their helmets. It is after all, a safety precaution for all motorcycle riders, who must use helmets like Nolan N43 and all others that will surely protect the head and not just be an accessory for pageantry. So we only saw each other yesterday and he gave me a pack of chocolate. We got hungry and ate it, before snapping a pic.
On the other hand, my officemate's sister arrived from Norway and gave us chocolates.. I was able to snap a photo.. before eating my share, lol..
The Snickers are common to me, but the two chocolates below are new to my eyes and taste buds.. yum!

Aromatherapy Do’s and Don’ts
Aromatherapy
is, as with almost everything in life, quite a mysterious and confusing
practice to get involved in. This article sets out a quick run through of the do’s
and don’ts when tackling aromatherapy.
Do
make sure you read and research as much as you possibly can into the subject.
There are hundreds if not thousands of resources available out there, be that
online or (as I prefer) in books - my personal recommendation for someone
starting out would be Aromatherapy: A
Guide for Home Use which covers every aspect concerned with the
field. It is vital you understand the basics; equipment, blending, ingredients,
benefits, applications, and safety; so you then have a knowledgeable platform
to build upon into more advanced realms.
Do
ensure you store your oils in dark glass bottles and in a cool, dark place,
ideally some sort of wooden storage box. This will keep you’re oils protected
from the elements whilst acting as a hugely practical and organizational asset
to your work.
Don’t
skimp out on equipment or ingredients; if you do you’ll only end up with very
average results at best and only be disappointed with the outcome. Make sure
you purchase good quality equipment, especially for things like oil burners;
the Soto
oil diffuser is currently one of the best on the market for
home purposes. Along the same vein you want to avoid picking up oils from any
street fairs or something similar. Purchase your oils from respected, well
known names and brands so you know you are getting high quality ingredients. It
may sound fairly self explanatory but essentially it will make your whole
aromatherapy far more enjoyable and fulfilling.
Don’t
purchase any bottled oils that have rubber glass dropper tops. This is
particularly the case with essential oils as the high concentration of the oil
will end up turning the rubber top into a sort of gum which will then ruin the
oil itself.
Do
take into account all the safety aspects of aromatherapy, ensuring you avoid
any oils that could potentially aggravate any medical condition you may have.
For example bergamot oils
must be used with great care because of its phototoxic properties.
So make sure you understand the ingredients of the oils and how or in what
ratio they should be blended and applied.
Now
I suppose the most important thing you should do is to experiment and above all
have fun with aromatherapy. It is a wonderful and therapeutic practice that I
guarantee you will change your life.

Does the Dukan weight loss plan work in the long run?
There is a vast amount of
criticism out there towards rapid weight loss plans which promote quick weight
loss results within the first initial phases but neglect to provide a
sustainable approach towards weight loss as a long term plan.
People on such plans see a
hugely visible loss of weight within the first few weeks then start to see a
declined rate within the following. This is to be expected with most diets, so
with enough will power people keep at it and after a lot of hard work they
eventually reach their preferred weight.
This healthy diet plan promotes a sustainable
approach to weight loss via including a stabilisation phase which allows the
person to resume their usual diet which existed before undertaking the Dukan
diet, however once beyond phase three must commit one day a week to a dedicated
protein only day and must also undergo 20 minutes of light exercise a day.
Taking on a diet requires a
person to accept that there can’t be an expiry date, as in you can’t do the
time get out and hope that everything will remain honkey dory. The truth is if
someone wants to truly lose weight, and not just for a couple of months, you
have to be willing to make a permanent life style change.
Other diets require one to
take a drastic permanent life style change, whereas the Dukan diet probably
offers the least radical. One day out of seven in any given week reflects the
Dukan diet changes and each day you have to undergo twenty minutes light
exercise. Of which you probably already do without realising.
If I had to suggest an
effective long term weight loss plan the Dukan diet would be at the top of my
list, so long as a person is willing to make a few small permanent adjustments.

Let's Talk About Cars Baby..
>> Tuesday, January 8, 2013
Enough of cooking for Lizzy and hello new car. I just love this baker friend of mine as she is into a lot of so many things. Recently, she has indulged us with her information about cars and spare parts, and car repaint jobs, repairs and so many more. You talk to he and she will enumerate many brands such as woodfins and many others. Adding that to your vocabulary would mean, added knowledge should your car need accessorizing, repaint or repair. The good thing about it is that, she is able to explain everything just like explaining how to cook a no cook pastry recipe.
