Alison Krauss Live Concert

Surprisingly, all tickets were “sold-out” a week before Alison Krauss live performance on the Britt Stage, Jacksonville, Oregon. They were selling it like pancakes. In fact, we tried to call the box office to get a kid’s ticket but they were all gone! Luckily as we keep trying and by around 4:00PM we called them again- there were 2 returned kids tickets and we bought the one over the phone. And if it wasn’t because of the rain, then no one will return those tickets. And indeed I witnessed the huge crowd of people trying to catch the show. Although it was pouring and a bit chilly in the venue but nothing can stop us. And I finally saw Alison Krauss in person. She sang “When you say nothing at all” and sure it was a fabulous performance of the night.

Sunburn Remedies and Tips to Keeping your Skin Healthy

Summer is officially here and we certainly need some extra care for our skin before facing directly to the Sun. Sunblock or any Sun screen lotion for skin protection is highly recommended. However, if you forgot to put lotion on before jumping out the Sun then make sure to apply the Soothing Aloe after Sun Gel to revive your skin from getting damaged. As it is also important to carry water for drinking all the time and have as much as water as you can to stay hydrated. Water is the best mineral that plays the most important role on keeping our skin healthy as it can be.



Nevertheless, to keep in mind that too much exposure to this dry heat can give you the risk of having skin cancer besides the minor Sun burnt. Now would you spend money for later to get your skin fixed? I don’t think so too, besides it is costly! So please do these tips for yourself and especially for the little ones. And I hope you will enjoy the summer safe and healthy.

One of the Best Abdominal Workouts

If you are worried about a little belly rolls or should I call it baby fat, then it’s time to beat it! I have been doing sit-ups everyday but it doesn’t seem to be working on my target. So one day, I decided to research for a different abdominal workout then I stumbled on “All Fitness” an iPhone app that got everything you can imagine. But of course I have to stick on my goal which is to eliminate my rolls and get a firmer abs. This amazing app got so much choices and it just depends if you can managed to execute them. However, I picked Sprinter in which the primary target is the rectus abdominis with an intermediate difficulty level. And you can directly feel the result on your day one as you can definitely experience the tightness of your abs.




And here are the steps to execute the Sprinter. First step, you have to lie down on your back, keep your hands at your side, legs extended straight, and heels held about 5 inches off the floor. Second step, slowly, start sitting up while elevating your right arm with the elbow bent so it resembles a sprinter’s pumping motion. At the peak of the sit-up, bring your left knee to your chest. And the last step is return to the starting position, keeping your legs straight and repeat with the opposite arm and leg.

Money Transfer for Father’s Day Rush


Father’s day is Sunday, June 19 that will be here before you know it. And for those who are not really close to their dad, this is only day of the year wherein we (children) got the opportunity to express our feelings and say thanks to our dad. You maybe have the best dad on Earth or not; but just be thankful and reward HIM with your love. Honestly, I am not a daddy’s girl and not even close to him. But I am glad and lucky I have seen my dad. And being away from him currently, I am pretty sure a little amount of money transfer will make his Father’s Day more special. And to my dad, even though I did not feel your presence all the time but you are still important part of me. Thanks to you!

How to Prevent and Stop Pimples?

Pimples are just embarrassing pimples especially if they are huge and visible. It definitely makes us very self-conscious and reduces our confidence level. Pimples are very common but not just for teenagers; in fact I have seen people on their forty and they still suffer from it. And one good example is I myself but I am not that quite old. I’m 27 years old and once in a while I experience pimples, only if I stop working out or exercising. I have created a self-experiment and skip a week of not doing my daily sit up routine. And (of course I wash my face twice a day) heck yeah, I got a humongous ingrown pimple on my right chicks. I was not a very happy camper besides it hurt and left a dark spot on my face. I therefore conclude that when your body is not getting (dripping) the sweat out or flushing out the toxins in your body then it can give you pimples. So now I am very cautious as I keep doing a simple exercise that will help me avoid those horrible pimples!

Here are additional anti-pimples tips I found on Enzine Articles by Logan Yanany. If you are looking for tips on how to prevent pimples, you may find following tips quite helpful:

• Honey has lots of curing as well as cleansing properties. Open pores in face by applying warm water or mild steam and then apply honey. Wait for few minutes before washing it first using warm water. Cold water can then be splashed on face to close open pores.
• Wash your face at least twice a day (first time in morning and second before moving to bed). Wash more often in summers to prevent oils from getting accumulated and keep face clean. Remember to splash warm water before applying soap as that opens the pores in skin allowing deep penetration of skin by soap. People with oily skin must use water-based soap. Don't use body soaps on face as that may clog pores causing acne pimples. Soap must be rinsed off using cold water so that pores are closed.
• Tone - People generally do not give toning any importance and it is often left out. Do tone your skin after cleansing as it clears face of any leftover cleanser. If residue is left on face, that clogs the pores resulting in acne. Toner can be easily applied by soaking a cotton ball in it and running over face.
• Put little moisturizer on hands and apply on face till it gets absorbed. People with oily skin must use an oil-free and light moisturizer. People with dry skin must use extra moisturizing creams.
