Where Is My Checking Account ?

Hubby is Ipoh now. He called and reminded me to take our checking account‘s checkbook along when I go down to Ipoh tomorrow. He forgot to put it in his bag. How forgetful !

Piles and piles of credit card and personal loan bills are pilling, so it’s time to issue checks to various banks for the credit card and loan payments. Phew…still loaded with $48,986 debts ! Though the progress is little and quite slow, at least we are working hard to pay the debts off.

Since our reduction, we have learned to read monthly checking account statements, managing and balancing our checkbooks, and bank checkbook reconciliation.

Proactiv® Solution For Different Types Of Acne Problems

I was reading my health magazine when I came across an article that explain different types of acne problems.

I am considered lucky if compared to my sister. I don’t have to worry much about pimples. My sister has been fighting breakouts since she was a teenager. Even though she has tried many types of skin care products, they don’t really bring effective results.

I heard that superstars like Vanessa Williams, Jessica Simpson, and Elle Macpherson have used Proactiv® Solution acne treatment successfully to help fight breakouts and get clear skin.

Maybe I should tell my sister about Acne.com that provides a wealth of information about acne, including the different types of acne, causes of acne, and common myths.

One of the myths that most people, including myself think is that acne is caused by dirt. Wrong ! Blemishes form when dead skin cells mix with our body’s natural oil, forming a plug in the tiny hair follicles commonly called pores. This has nothing to do with dirt ! So, it is no use overwashing our face or body (more than 2–3 times per day) will not make our acne better.

Dickson Spent Over USD$100,000 On Plastic Surgery !

Dickinson admits to having spent over USD$100,000 on plastic surgery over the years ! She claims that she’s no addict though.

“I need (plastic surgery). I couldn’t have that chicken neck thing going on, so I had a neck lift. And I had a brow lift and got my eyes done. Everything is fake about me — my boobs, teeth, hair, nails — and I’m just perfect.” A little scary and plastic maybe, but perfect ?

Tomatoes Are Good !

Tomatoes are not bad for you. In fact they are very good for you.

Tomatoes contain vitamins and minerals plus they are an excellent source of lycopene and beta carotene.

Lycopene is a phytochemical carotenoid found in the red pigment of tomatoes, which may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Tomatoes belong to the Nightshade family of vegetables, which also includes potatoes and egg plant. These vegetables contain solanine, a chemical thought to aggravate rheumatoid arthritis symptoms in some people.

Kids Need Vitamin C For Healthy Immune Systems

Many children eat nutritious diets and they get all the vitamins and minerals they need from those healthy foods.

Cook Healthy Food In My Own House (Again !)

I bet hubby and I will have healthier lifestyle after we move back to Ipoh. The reason is that I can cook more often.

In Cameron Highlands, I find that cooking is troublesome. When we first rent the apartment in Cameron Highlands, the owner has made it very clear that cooking is not allowed. So, I can only steam food ! I can’t fry any vegetables at all. You know how tasty it is to fry vegetables with onions, right ?

My kitchen in Ipoh is fully-equipped, so I can fry, stir or steam whenever I like…;P

Should I Get Term Life Insurance Quotes ?

Should I buy term life insurance ? Some experts recommend that if we’re under 40 years old and don’t have a family disposition for a life threatening illness, we should go for term insurance, which offers a death benefit but no cash value.

I am 36 years old now and is considering getting
term life insurance quotes before making any decision. I know that term life insurance comes cheaper if compared to whole life insurance.

Whole life offers both a death benefit and cash value, but is much more expensive. Half of all cash value policies are surrendered within the first seven years, making the coverage very expensive because huge commissions (thousands of dollars the first year) and fees limit the cash value in the early years.

Since these fees are built into the complex investment formulas, most people don’t realize just how much of their money is going into their insurance agent’s pockets.
