Stay Glued To Desktops Watching NCIS, CSI & Criminal Minds Comments Off

I have been staying glued to both of my and hubby’s desktops watching one episode of NCIS or CSI after another episode online for the past few weeks.

Hubby thinks that I am nuts. I am so obsessed with watching NCIS, CSI: Miami and Criminal Minds online that I am online for more than 20 hours a day.

My favorite is still the NCIS series. Hubby says he will get me the NCIS DVD collection once our DVD player is working again.

But when?

Name Your Daughter ‘Ziva’? Comments Off

ZivaI love watching NCIS series while writing fast weight loss articles for my niche blogs or submitting best weight loss supplement articles to articles directories.

I love Gibbs, Abby and Ziva the most. Indeed I am going to name my daughter “Ziva” if I am pregnant with a baby girl in future. :-)

Ziva carries the meaning of “splendour” or “radiance”.

The variations for Ziva include Zeeva, Ziv, Zivanka, and Zi. Oh, I love them all.

I am looking forward to watching NCIS’s seventh season in September of 2009. Everyone including Ziva returns.

When Is Hubby’s Turn To Receive His Annuity? Comments Off

Spending MoneyWow, some of hubby’s friends have started receiving their annuities! I wonder when it is hubby’s turn. :-)

Well, actually it’s only a few years away. By then, hubby can live the life he wants, do the stuff he likes and spend as much as he likes without being nagged by me.

For the time being, he must be nagged at when it comes to spending money. He doesn’t seem to be able to control his spending habits.

If he had been thriftier all these years, we would have had so much money in our savings accounts.

Having Dark Circles After Staying Up Late Watching CSI? Comments Off

Love staying up late watching CSI? Then, it’s inevitable that you’ll get dark circles. :-)

When you are tired, your whole body, including your circulatory system, goes into slow motion. You have less blood flowing through your skin, which gives you a pasty look and while lack of shut-eye doesn’t cause dark circles, not getting the recommended eight hours of sleep a night makes dark circles appear darker simply because your skin is paler.

This is what you can do as immediate fix. Slather on a cleanser or mask that contains skin-stimulating botanicals like ginseng or spearmint.

Then, camouflage under-eye shadows by dotting a concealer at the outer corners of the lower lids. Tap gently toward the inner corner of the eye, slowly blending in the concealer.

Brighten The Porch With Wall Lantern For Feng Shui Purposes Comments Off

Wall LanternI am thinking of adding another Murray Feiss wall lantern to brighten the porch.

According to a Feng Shui tip I read just now, it’s good to have a brighter light than a dimmer one this year to ward off bad evils from entering the house.

Do you believe in Feng Shui? I do. I mean sometimes. But I don’t buy all sorts of Feng Shui enhancers or remedies just because the masters say so.
