Time Is Precious

Somehow I’ve found it a bit difficult to put this on paper, probably more for the fact that there are so much going on in my head. But this fact about time being so precious has been on my mind of late so much.

I am sure we all have heard this phrase and quote and given it some though over time. When we suddenly loose a loved one or someone we are acquainted with suddenly loses his/her life without any warning. These thoughts consumes our minds for a while.. We then come to the realization that tomorrow is not promised and how precious time really is.

I guess  my “A ha moment” came when I realized that I need to starting fulfilling my goals and dreams and that I need to start now and stop procrastinating and finding some or other excuse to delay it every time. I pondered and realized how much time I  have wasted and how I could have consumed the precious time that’s now lost forever.

I quickly realized okay, so I wasted it, it's gone, but I'm not going to waste any more time going back into past and crying over spilled milk. I am using my time wisely now, spending it on things that makes me happy and I am chasing my dreams, pursuing my goals. Living life and enjoying every moment.

So whether its relationships, goals, dreams or whatever is that we are wasting our precious time on, and not doing what we want, what we dream of -  Do it now, it's not too late. Life is short, fragile and does not wait for anyone. There will NEVER be a perfect time to pursue your dreams and goals.

I came across this Quote :

Quote:

"Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to used during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course? Each of us has such a bank, its name is time. Every morning, it credits you 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off at a lost, whatever of this you failed to invest to a good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no over draft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no drawing against 'tomorrow.' You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and health. The clock is running. Make the most of today."

Avon Purifying Peel off Mask

Hello Beautiful People

I’ve been using Avon products for a many moons now, as I am sure all of us has used one of their products sometime or the other. When I come across a good product, I tend to go “cray cray” and overstock….

As with this, Avon tea tree and cucumber Mask.. I bought quite a few.

So, I haven't used a face  mask in quite a while – due to time limitations, and also due to the fact that my kids are super scared when I walk around with a mask… seriously, my 10 month old would literally cry until I remove it or wash it off.. So I had a few hours to myself last weekend and decided to give my face a little pamper treatment… and I am glad I did.

This is a transparent peel off mask, so you apply the mask and wait until it’s completely dry and then start peeling it off.

Using the mask after such a long time again, it reminded me why I love this product so much. My skin looks fresh, alive and radiant. This week I have received loads of compliments about how beautiful my skin looks. This is a great mask to add to your collection.

Grateful

Last week I became conscious and observant with my surroundings, So while I was running an errand on Saturday Morning, I saw a gentleman a the traffic light, he was standing there, with a bag, looking for a job, hoping that someone would stop, and offer him something. He seemed desperate.

 It made me so grateful for the job I have.

I became immensely grateful for more than just that..

I became grateful for my Husband when I see single parents  fulfilling the role of both parents.

I became grateful for my house when I see the homeless guy sleeping on the pavement of UWC every morning when I pass. Sleeping on a single layer of card board and covered with a blanket or two.

I became grateful for my beautiful children when I see couples struggling to have children.

I became grateful for my health and that of my family and loved ones when I hear stories my sister shares of sick people are at the hospital she works .

 I became grateful for my car when I see people walking in rainy cold weather, making use  and depending on  public transport to take them from point A to B.

I became grateful  that I am still alive and have dreams that's coming  true..

I am grateful for more than just above.., most of all..

I became grateful for the fact know that I can depend on God for EVERYTHING, knowing I can run to Him with whatever lives throws at me .

Hare Care

Today I’m reviewing Dove Fall Rescue Shampoo and Conditioner.

Starting off with the Shampoo, I love using this shampoo as it really washes clean, and it leaves my hair feeling really soft and smelling great. (Choose a shampoo that suits your hair type)

The conditioner feels really creamy and on application I find it really easy in relieving knots and detangles my hair great. I apply it evenly throughout my hair until the ends then uses a wide tooth comb to gently comb through and keeping it on for two minutes before rinsing. After drying my hear it really looks healthy, smells great has a fantastic shine. I definitely recommend these products.

Tip:

Sometimes it’s a good idea to give your hair a break.. From using flat irons, hair dryers and other styling mechanisms. Just so that you hair can have a little breather. By doing this at least once or twice a month you will notice a difference in your hair.  You can decide what will work best for you.

Vaseline

Vaseline or Baseline as my daughter would say:)  I am  addicted and needs to purchase a big tub every month. I used it for EVERYTHING..

Because I have a dry skin, I mix Vaseline with my body lotions to give me that extra moisture.

Your hands plays an important  function as a  bridge to the world if you are one that “talk” 

with your hands, they spend more time in the spotlight. It's important to wash your hands regular as it is exposed to all sorts of germs and dirt, but the frequent washing of them can also keep your hands dry, cracked and wrinkled if not taking care of them properly. And there’s nothing worse that hands looking much older than what you are.

Taking good care of your hands  can be fairly easy. There are things you can do every day to help your hands look and feel good. Develop a good routine and give your hands a helping hand.

Good moisturizers can help prevent or treat dry skin on your hands. They also help your outer skin act as a temporary protective shield. Many people like to use some sort of water-based lotion, but that may not be the best choice. Lotions may make your hands feel great at first, but the water will evaporate quickly, drying your skin anew.

 Make wearing gloves part of your daily routine.  You might find wearing them uncomfortable at first, but it's worth the time. Wear gloves anytime you plan to use harsh cleaning products. 

Keep disposable gloves like those used by medical professionals and food-service workers around the house also. If preparing onions, tomatoes or other strong or acid foods irritates your hands, the gloves can help. In cold weather, wear gloves when you go outside. It's not just to keep your hands from feeling cold. The gloves will also keep them from drying or chapping in the wintry air.
