I have a pink notebook as a gift so I am not keen on getting another planner. I only 5 more stickers to go until I get my Starbucks 2010 planner too. We need mounts for the 2 TVs we have though, we might just buy that this weekend.

Featuring at least twelve indigenous communities in the Philippines, the paintings of an Obo Manobo, Retchor “Ettok” Umpan, and passages written by young indigenous peoples themselves, the GOT HEART 2010 PLANNER is both interactive and youthful with its numerous activities and amazing information. The Planner also has different activities that will allow you to discover more about our IPs in fun and light ways. Aside from promoting love of culture, the GOT HEART PLANNER proceeds will help fund the foundation’s projects for the indigenous peoples, specially a T’boli School in Cotabato.

Quest for Self-Improvement

I have always wanted to study. After finishing two degrees, it seems I am on a quest for self-punishment whenever I get the thirst to study again. Of course, it’s easier these days because you can now get your  bachelors degree online – most universities now offer online classes for people who would not be able to be in a classroom setting, working parents, disabled persons, etc.

Western Governors University is an example of an online university. Their mission is to expand access to higher education through online, competency-based degree programs – and currently, they have 14,000 students across the 50 states of America.

Continuous Growth for Women

Sure God created man before woman.  But then you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece.  ~Author Unknown

Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good.  Luckily, this is not difficult.  ~Charlotte Whitton

I have always believed that there is always room for growth and self-improvement in a person. When you stop thinking you need to change, that’s when you stop to grow as a person. I always find ways to make sure I change myself for the better. Women in particular are very adaptable to change – they embrace it with open arms and thrive on changes. That is the reason why we have achieved where we are now – people with equal rights as men, and given freedom and equality in the workplace and at home.

How many mothers out there juggle motherhood and career work wonderfully? It is no easy task and I am glad that the National Association of Professional Women or NAPW was formed. They are a members only organization that has ties with Fortune 500 companies offering exclusive savings to over 60 recognizable businesses. It gives women the change to build networks and in turn network themselves for more job, business and network opportunities.

The National Association of Professional Women offers seminars, podcasts, webinars, educational tools, and help foster career development skills that enable members to achieve personal and career success

Follow them on NAPW Twitter!

Spanx Me.

I’ve been hearing and reading about Spanx from my friends for quite a while now and not until Oprah Winfrey mentioned it in her show did I become interested in it (You gotta know I love Oprah!)

Hide & Sleek Slip-Suit Spanx

Hide & Sleek Slip-Suit
$84 to $88

5% slip, 95% personal trainer! The Hide & Sleek Slip-Suit takes the best features of two slimming silhouettes to create an all-in-one style with unmatched coverage.

  • Cool fabric offers smoothing double-layer compression
  • Light compression from below the bra line to the tummy, rear and thighs
  • No center seam! Remains invisible under light fabrics
  • Surged edges and flat seams eliminate pinching, binding and bulging
  • Cotton double gusset for convenience when nature calls
  • Wear with clingy, form-fitting dresses for extra thigh coverage

I might need one of these before we have a photoshoot for our holiday photo cards this year (late, I know).

Here is an interesting view from the Fashionator though:

She clearly isn’t for Spanx:

My Reasons

  1. Wearing a minimizer is painful. Yeah, yeah, some might say those high heels are just as painful. My feet might ache in them, but I draw the line at suffocation. A girl’s gotta breathe.

  2. Shapewear gets rid of curves. And sorry, stick figures, I’m a huge fan of curves. Why minimize them when they should really be embraced? I say, shake what your momma gave yah and let it all hang out in its rounded goodness.
  3. You’ll be presenting a facade. On the one hand, onlookers will think you’re super-tight and tone everywhere–because yes, shapewear can work wonders–but in reality, it’s all a lie. You may be duping your date! It’s false advertising if you think about it.
  4. When your clothes come off, it’s not a pretty sight. Remember that scene from St. Elmo’s Fire when Rob Lowe’s character reached into the skirt of that one nerdy-esque girl–sorry, kind of graphic here–and discovered shapewear? He tugged at its end and the unsightly undie recoiled and smacked the poor girl’s leg? Can you say humiliating?!

I can’t take off the vision on how I would look like when I do number 4! It’s good that I am already married so there will be no surprises like that one!
