So why not start today? Simply walking at the park or tending to your garden may help drop your risk.

Blink more!



A lot of us spend eight hours a day staring at electronic screens -- computer monitors, tv, iPods, cellphones -- and doing so reduces blinking by 80 percent. This leaves our peepers prone to irritation, drying and blurry vision. To avoid this, it may help to look away from screens every 20 minutes and flutter your eyes for at least ten times.

According to experts, blinking more helps lower your risk of eye infections. Just like windshield wipers, our eye lids work the same way. They remove debris, dust and bacteria from the eye's surface. So blink more often to supercharge your vision.

Poipu Beach


I was roaming the net when I chanced upon this beautiful photo. It's the Poipu Beach in Hawaii. I've never been to Hawaii but don't you think this stunning view is enough reason to visit someday? It would be lovely to stay on one of those Poipu vacation rentals and enjoy the sunny south shore of Kauai. I've seen how beautiful Hawaii is in travel shows, but I would love to travel there someday and see it for myself. How about you, have you been to Hawaii?

My Favorite Bookstore

One site I never fail to visit everyday is my favorite online bookstore. I check it daily to see f there are new Amazon books releases and to hunt for bargains. My daughter and I read a lot and I cannot afford to buy expensive books often. This online bookstore offers a wide variety of titles at the lowest prices. Right now they're having a book sale and you can discounts up to 55% off. If you're a book lover like me, hurry now and take advantage of this great sale.

Save Time and Energy

If you are looking to buy a receipt printer, you may want to check the latest epson receipt printer. This printer is reliable and optimized for high-speed performance. It is compact and is one of the smallest on the market today. If you have limited space, this one is perfect. The price is highly affordable and the great thing is, these printers have been designed to be compatible with existing systems that currently use a TM-U200 series printer. The latest printers from Epson are energy savers, with this and its speed, you save time and money. It's no wonder more and more companies are switching to Epson.

Arugula for Ulcers



Got ulcers? Fight it with arugula. Turns out that this salad add on helps reduce stomach-acid serotonin that can irritate gastric ulcers, the type of peptic ulcers that form in the abdominal wall and can cause severe pain. Arugula does more than stimulate liver health, it helps prevent cancer and it affects ulcer activity by limiting acid serotonin or by regulating hormones that ptotect the gastric-wall lining. Plus, it has high levels of antioxidants, which experts believe may contribute to its anti-ulcer properties.

Beat The Chills with Chocolate


Having a bite of dark chocolate each day can ward off winter chills. So you see, there is more to it than just improving your mood. Researchers discovered that the epitechin in cocoa help boost the body's production of nitric oxide. This warming chemical enhances blood flow throughout the body. So whenever you are feeling cold, go ahead and grab a bite of this yummy treat. :)

Practicing Their Swings

During weekends, hubs and my brother-in-law would drop by the driving range and practice their swings. It's their favorite bonding time. A friend from bowling owns a driving range just outside the village of my MIL's, that's where they usually go. They recently purchased some used golf balls, they don't like using new balls when they practice. Sometimes the kids would go with them but unfortunately, none of them are interested to try. They just love to watch. I'm still hopeful though, that my son would be interested in golf someday. Well, not just golf in particular but any other sports would do. I want him to get involved in sports. But of course, I'm not pressing the issue, I want him to like it on his own.
