Maybe it’s because most of my friends are moms in their late 20s and early 30s that most of them have been expressing concerns about their weight. I don’t know if it’s because they miss their pre-pregnancy figures or maybe it’s the time in our lives that we tend to really look at ourselves and wonder if we’re doing things right?

I must admit, I am far from being the healthiest person in the whole wide world. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever belonged to the “normal” weight category since I was 9 or 10 years old. Apparently, there’s a new fad in losing weight nowadays. I have yet to really learn from it but from the pictures I’ve seen, the results are truly amazing. I was just told by a friend that I would really need a balance scale for my food intake since everything is strictly measured.

Now this I have to think about. Should I change my being weight conscious to being food conscious? Is this the right time for me to start anew and challenge myself? I know I owe it to myself to be healthy but I need to make sure that I’m truly ready and will accept every bit of consequence from this.

I’ll keep you updated. I would love to know more about this new diet so hopefully I can do another post to let you know what it is all about.

Marriage is perceived in different meanings depending on culture and belief. Some people believe that marriage is a mere social union or a legal contract while some define marriage as a union of two souls. Some religion or culture believe that only two people can enter a marriage while some allow polygamous marriages.

Regardless of all these, one thing that may be common among all of them is having a ring during the “ceremony”. Rings, because of its circle shape, symbolize forever or eternity. Eternity bands is a popular choice for wedding rings because of the simplicity of its design and at the same time, the precious gems also signify the infinite value of the marriage to the husband and wife.

Growing up, I’ve never been one to wear perfume or cologne. Maybe it’s because I didn’t really see a need for it because we didn’t have to attend a lot of formal events.

But at this stage in my life, fragrances seem to be of a new interest to me. Attending meetings, presentations, various training and conferences make me realize how important it is to “freshen up” before diving into deep conversation with bosses and clients.

My current addiction is Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden. Green Tea is perfect for easy afternoon meetings or just spending the day lazily with friends and loved ones. It’s just great for everyday wear. I’ve had a chance to try out her other lines as well and am considering getting another for more “formal” events.

Any recommendations?
