I have been into natural skin care products for a while now. People are finally realizing that what has worked for the ladies for centuries can still work wonders today. I don’t know how it got to the point when they thought synthetic chemicals is better for the skin. Well, synthetic stuff are cheaper to reproduce than [Read more...]
Spanking New Recycle Bin
August 19, 2007 By Leave a Comment
We have been using a plastic tub for our recyclables(glass bottles, jars and plastic containers) for the past 6+ years and it’s holey appearance was getting to me. We have been planning to get our free bin but never made the time to. When we returned our cable box to Millenium Cable last week, we made it a point to stop by the transfer station to get one of the big bins they are giving away for free.
It really doesn’t take much effort to recycle. It’s just getting into the habit of putting the biodegrables, the non-biodegrables and recyclables in the proper containers. It feels good to be able to contribute in lessening the bulk of the garbage in the landfills. Every little thing helps, don’t you think?
Exotic Delicious Mango Smoothie

I have been making smoothies in the past months for my 5 year daughter. It’s a short cut to get her to eat her fruit(vitamin C and fiber), yogurt(calcium and friendly bacteria) and drink her milk(calcium, Vitamin A & D) with one slurp. She doesn’t like the yogurt which comes with the fruit at the bottom because she says it’s eeeky. I have to agree with her because I’m grossed out with the sticky syrup and I find them too sweet. She also found out that the sweetener is corn syrup and gave her another excuse not to like the yogurt.
So I started making smoothies with fruits that are in season. Coming from a tropical country, I enjoy mangoes. A certain variety of mangoes are imported from Mexico but they originated from the Philippines so they are also being called Manila mangoes. I do prefer this variety because they are not stringy. They also have the right balance of tartness and sweetness that I love for the flavor of the smoothies. They usually show up in Asian stores(we go to H-Mart) around March to end of July. They come in boxes with 16 pieces for $12.99, some stores may sell them per piece but at a higher price. For a delicious and nutritious drink: [Read more...]
