Julia Roberts

Julia Roberts tops the Most Beautiful People of 2010 of People Magazine. It’s her fourth time and she proves once again that she is worthy of the fame and title, literally, of “Pretty Woman”.

At 42, the mother of three (twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 5, and Henry, 2) is celebrating her fourth turn as the cover girl for PEOPLE’s Most Beautiful. While the star of the upcoming film Eat, Pray, Love is as lovely as ever, old pal George Clooney says he knows her secret. "It has nothing to do with the way she looks," he says. "It has everything to do with who she is."

See the 20 reasons why she is The Most Beautiful.

Summer Skin Care

image The heat maybe unbearable but it should not be a reason for a woman NOT to moisturize. Just choose a very light moisturizer and make sure you apply it on clean skin so that your pores won’t get clogged.

I found these great moisturizer tips on ShopCrazy and thought of sharing it with you guys:

Know your skin type.

Do you have really dry skin that needs extra moisture? Are you allergic or sensitive to certain ingredients? Knowing your skin type will determine which products and ingredients are safe for your skin.

Read the product labels and ingredient lists.

Avoid products that are loaded with unnecessary chemicals, as these may do more harm than good. Look for lotions that have natural ingredients such as Vitamin E or Jojoba Oil for added moisturizing benefits. Johnson’s Body Care lotions even contain a dual moisture bond that adds and seals moisture in the skin for 24 hours.

Do a skin test.

Always test new lotions or moisturizers on a small patch of skin first, so you know if your skin is sensitive or not. You may not realize that you’re using products that are harsh on your skin.

Opt for sun protection.

Living in a tropical country means extra exposure to the sun, so pick moisturizers that have sunscreen. Vitamin C and milk proteins are an added bonus to help protect your natural skin tone. You can avoid an extra layer of sunblock by picking moisturizers that already have it built in.

Keep these things in mind and you’ll be able to keep your skin soft, smooth and radiant all day.

Jewelry isn’t All About Fashion

What do the two pictures have in common?

They are both financial assets, with one being more liquid than the other, and has a steady worth.And surprise, it’s not the dollar I am talking about.

The US dollar has been getting a lot of setbacks lately. Gold traditionally moves adversely to the dollar: when the dollar declines, gold goes up and vice versa. But the Greek debt crisis is deepening and investors are anxious about risk when it comes to the market. The concern is over Greece’s ability to pay their financial obligations which has caused a lift in the dollar and a decline in the euro. Gold is still holding up nicely to other commodities such as oil and also other metals such as palladium.

That is why you might want to buy silver bullion now that precious metals are more in demand than before. It is as good as cash, yet it wont depreciate. It makes for such a wise investment!

Wardrobe Organizers

Shopping and wardrobe space are inversely proportional to each other. Whenever we spend too much shopping, our closets suffer. And how do you remedy that? You need to have an organized wardrobe closet for you to enjoy the fruits of your shopping! Everything must have a place of its own, even with paper clutter such as birth announcements.

I saw this at the Decor8 site and would love to get my hands on those IKEA organizers – pretty much soon, as I need to prepare our closets for the busy month of June!

The wardrobe they used in this demonstration is called PAX from Ikea.
So nice!

I like the idea of adding a mirror to turn the wardrobe into a little vanity.

Go Lonny Mag, Archive, Issue 3 to see the project in the magazine.

Mother’s day is going to be celebrated this year on May 9 – that is only 10 days away! What would you be giving to the most important woman of your life? While mothers would appreciate whatever you give, be it flowers, a card, or even used golf balls for sentimental reasons, every now and then, mothers need to be pampered too.

Motherhood is the most overworked but underpaid job in the world – I should know, I’m a Mom! Maybe my husband would see this and give me something luxurious this Mother’s Day!

I have something in mind to ask the husband for but that would have to wait until I can see if it’s worth it!

Survival Kit

It sometimes is scary to note that administration offices and even schools no longer just have the usual first aid kits in their clinics. They now have switched over to survival kits which have medical supplies and other things that will help a person “survive” in case of an emergency or a disaster.

Survival Kit

As they say, we can not prevent natural calamities from happening but we can prepare for it. Having a kit like this nearby (and for each member of the family) will be very helpful. For kids, make sure they have identification tags in the bag and in their body just in case they get lost.

First aid kit:

    * In a waist pouch or day pack:
          o one flashlight (electric torch) with batteries
          o spare batteries
          o one pair trauma shears (EMT shears/pennycutters)
