Lorenzo,

The above response was -- in Mari's perfume parlance -- the top stage only.

So, to complete the picture, this would be my reaction to a woman's fragrance:

Top stage : self-control

Middle stage : let it flow

Base note : Bahala na

Homemade skin care products
Loot your kitchen for great natural skin care products
Author: Charlotte Kuchinsky


Lots of women have problem skin. Sometimes it is too oily. Sometimes it is too dry. Some skin is blotchy and other skin is ruddy. Very few of us are lucky enough to have that perfect peaches-and-cream complexion that we all long for. To make up for all of our flaws, we buy every skin care product that we can find, hoping that something will work that perfect miracle. However, the truth is that expensive skin care products aren’t always the answer. Sometimes, the simple ones made right in our kitchen are just as good, if not better.

Avocado is a natural skin firmer. It works particularly well on the neck area. Mashed avocado, mixed with a little lemon juice, can be applied directly to the face and/or neck. While it firms, it also moisturizes with its enriched vitamins. Additionally, the oil in avocado dissolves the fat and dirt that so often clogs pores.

Baby wipes are perfect for removing makeup or just for cleansing the facial area. As a bonus, they are a lot cheaper than the expensive make-up removal pads found on the market today.

Baking soda naturally exfoliates the skin, while softening it as well. To exfoliate, mix a small amount of moisturizing cleanser into the baking soda to make a paste. Apply to the skin using the appropriate pressure for the area of the body where it is being used. Then rinse and apply your regular moisturizer. Baking soda, mixed with lemon juice, also makes natural toothpaste that will leave your teeth looking oh so white and bright.

Coffee grounds can help you rub away that unsightly cellulite. Instead of throwing away those used coffee grounds, rub them into your hips, thighs, or bottom. For extra benefit, wrap the area with plastic wrap and wait for at least 15 minutes. Take a shower and enjoy your soft, beautiful skin.

Cucumber slices, as everyone knows, can help to get rid of the dark circles in the under eye area. Pears also work in basically the same way.

Egg whites deliver an instant facelift. Just apply the whites directly to wrinkles and remain perfectly still until they dry. Once dry, apply your regular make-up and you’re all set to go. Another option is to mix eggs, honey, and lemon juice together for a facial mask. Leave on for 20 to 30 minutes and then rinse and apply your usual moisturizer.

Eye drops with anti-reddening properties can be applied to pimples during the day to help disguise them. They take away the red blotchiness, making pimples easy to cover. Once the eye drops dry, just apply your make-up on top and off you go.

Haemorrhoid cream has long been the secret of the stars for curing unsightly under-eye puffiness caused by lack of sleep. After it is dry, all that is left is to apply your makeup.

Honey is often used in skin care products because it contains vitamins and natural moisturizers. It also has a natural antibiotic that will kill bacteria as it cleans out your pores. Mix it with brown sugar and olive oil and you have the perfect skin exfoliant. It may be a bit abrasive for those with extremely sensitive skin so be very gentle in the application process. On the other hand, it is perfect for those rough, dry elbows, knees, and feet. Just apply wherever it is needed, leave for ten minutes or longer and rinse off with warm water.

Honey mixed with lemon juice, and heated for about 30 minutes and then cooled to room temperature makes a wonderful hair remover. Spread it on in a thin layer wherever you want to remove hair; apply a wax strip over it and then pull off quickly. Off will come the unwanted hair and you can get in some much needed scream therapy at the same time.

Lemon juice, mixed with a little bit of water, also makes a wonderful refreshing facial toner. Just dab it on with a cotton ball and let it dry before putting on moisturizer.

Milk has long been thought to make skin soft and smooth because it eliminates dead skin cells naturally. Cleopatra was famous for her luxurious milk baths, and she was considered one of the most striking women of her time.

Milk of Magnesia is great for removing excess oil from facial skin. Apply it just like a mask and let it dry. Then rinse with warm water before applying make-up.

Mint can be used as a skin pick-me-up. Put a few crushed sprigs of mint into crushed ice and smooth across the face. Pat dry and enjoy newly revitalized skin.

Miracle Whip is an excellent exfoliant. Apply a thin layer over the face and let it sit for at least ten minutes. Massage the skin gently to remove dead skin cells, rinse, and moisturize.

Oatmeal, mixed with sugar and avocado, makes a facial scrub that is perfect for sensitive skin. Apply it in a light massaging motion. Let it sit for 20 minutes and then remove it with warm water before applying your moisturizer. Because it is naturally abrasive, oatmeal in the bath water can also help to moisturize and soften the skin while removing dead skin cells.

Olive oil is a rich moisturizer that doesn’t irritate the skin. It is perfect for the thicker, rough, and often dry skin of the elbows, knees, and heels. Women with excessively dry skin often use olive oil all over their body, either alone or mixed with other homemade beauty products to further improve their results. Warmed slightly, it makes a deep penetrating moisturizing mask. To really soften your hands or feet, apply olive oil to dry skin and then cover the area over night with socks. You will wake up in the morning with softer, smoother skin.

Papaya is rich in protein and contains an enzyme that promotes the discarding of dead skin, making it the perfect fruit for a facial mask. Smooth the pulp of a papaya over the face. Let it sit for five to ten minutes and then wipe off with a warm cloth. Pat cool water onto the face to close the pores. Once dry, follow up with your daily moisturizer.

Peaches are rich in vitamin A and B and contain a lot of water. Make a soothing skin conditioner by blending mashed peaches with heavy whipping cream. Rub into the skin as needed. Let sit for ten to twenty minutes and then rinse with warm water.

Pepto-Bismol isn’t only good for your stomach. It also makes an amazing face-tightening mask. Apply it liberally just like any other facial mask. Let it dry and then remove it with warm water.

Pumpkin is a wonderful skin conditioner. This Halloween, when you carve that Jack-O-Lantern, save the leftover pumpkin to make a paste for a very special body facial that will leave your skin soft, smooth, and looking years younger.

Strawberries, according to some of Hollywood’s brightest stars, have a natural polishing effect on teeth, while also leaving them brighter than ever before.

Toothpaste will work in a pinch when pimples pop out of nowhere and there’s not Clearasil in the house. Just dab it on at bedtime and wake up with picture-perfect skin in the morning.

Vegetable shortening works well for those suffering from eczema. Just put it on where the skin is infected and let it sit for at least 15 minutes. Then rinse or shower to remove it and follow up with your moisturizer.

Vinegar, mixed with water and witch hazel, makes a gentle facial toner.

Yeast improves blood flow and circulation and is very rich in B complex vitamins. To make the perfect facial mask, mix it with a few teaspoons of warm water. Smooth the mixture over the face, allowing it to dry. Then rinse with warm water. Be sure it is thoroughly dry before apply moisturizer or make-up.

Yoghurt softens the skin while also soothing the redness caused by rosacea. Additionally, it tightens pores while it cleans. Apply it just like a mask and leave it on the face for at least ten minutes. Rinse off with warm water and apply your moisturizer. Yogurt can also soothe painful sunburn, while it prevents blistering. Slather it on liberally and relax.

So when you can’t afford those highly touted skin care products that everyone else is using, try making your own. You just might find that they are better, while saving you tons of money!

Simple weight loss tips
Start on the road to weight loss with these simple tips
Author: Damien Gregory

The fact is we live in a world where we are bombarded by advertising for mega-burger deals and chocolate bars. We see world class sports stars promoting the virtues of high fat & sugar products, and at some level in our sub-conscious we associate their magnificent physiques with those products. Well you have to have the discipline to ignore this temptation. Easy to say, not so easy to do, perhaps. Well here are a couple of tips that may help:

Planning your eating
The first step to getting any behaviour under control is to understand the truth about it. Write down what you eat, and when. Plan your meals to ensure a good, healthy start to the day, and consider keeping a 'food diary' to keep on top of your real intake.

Drinking water
Drink water, lots of it - at least 1-2 litres per day. As well as being healthy in itself this will fill your stomach and reduce your appetite.

Engage in regular activity
This could be anything from regular walks to gardening. Two half-hour walks a day burn at least 300 â€" 500 calories a day. Find something fun; bike riding, roller-blading, whatever it is, just do it!

Keep an eye on sugar levels
The Glycemic Index is becoming more and more recognised as a crucial health measure in our food. A food rated above 85 is high, below 60 low, and in-between is moderate. Low glycemic diets are healthy and excellent for weight loss - give you a slow release of carbs, meaning you don’t feel hungry. In practice this could mean, for example, a breakfast of oats or muesli with a glass of orange juice, giving your all the energy you need before lunch time.

Try out these tips for just a few weeks, and you'll notice the effect. And if you just do one, do the easiest - drink water, lots of it, and often. There's no simpler way to make a difference to your weight.

How to get the best haircut for your face shape
Choose the hairstyle that matches your face
Author: Jenny Andrews


Have you ever gone to the salon, hairstyle magazine in hand, hoping to have your locks transformed into the latest trend featured on the front page only to have your stylist tell you that you do not have the right shaped face to wear the style, or, worse yet, your stylist puts that exact haircut on you, but you look nothing like the model wearing the cut in the magazine?

We’ve all had horrible experiences in the stylist chair. Most of the time they are not technical errors, but errors when it comes to choosing the right style to compliment our facial structure and build.

When choosing the perfect hairstyle for your unique look, stylists should take into account your build. For example, close cropped styles would not suit a person with a large frame, nor would a full-bodied style compliment a person with a small frame. Making sure that your style and frame balance is the key here.

Stylists also should look at your face shape when choosing the best look for you.
There are five basic face shapes: oval, heart, round, square and triangular.

All of these shapes can be beautiful, but one is ideal: oval. No matter what shaped face you have, achieving the perfect look involves picking the right cut or style that will make your face appear more oval.

Oval face shapes are identified by the perfect symmetry of certain facial features, such as the distance from the hairline to the bridge of the nose (between the eyes), from the bridge of the nose to the lips, and from the lips to the bottom of the chin. If your face is oval shaped, you can consider yourself to be very lucky. This shape is the only one that is complimented by almost every hairstyle imaginable.

Heart shaped faces are usually broader through the forehead and taper to a point at the chin. You can make this shaped face appear more oval by positioning the weight of the haircut at chin level, or by wearing bangs in shorter styles. Keep in mind that the goal is to minimize the forehead and to bring prominence to the chin.

Round faces are just that: round. They have wide cheekbones and are usually smaller through the forehead and chin. The goal here is to minimize the cheekbones. Styles with height in the bang and sides cut toward the face usually work best.

Square faces have a bold forehead and an angular jaw line. Styles with soft edges, and a great deal of texture directed toward the face really suit this shape. The length should be kept longer than jaw length to draw attention away from the jaw, but, at the same time, that length should be layered. A straight, sleek style would only serve to accent the angular lines of the face.

Triangular shaped faces are angular at the jaw line, but narrow through the forehead. They can be treated much the same way that square faces are treated, with one exception; more height and fullness is needed throughout the crown and bang areas to make this section of the face appear larger.

Now that you know what your stylist knows, take this knowledge with you on your next salon visit. This time, when you thumb through the style books and magazines, you will be able to zero in on your perfect new cut. Good Luck!

Finding the right pair of jeans for you
How to choose the jeans that look right for your body type
Author: Charlotte Kuchinsky


General tips for choosing the best jean fit

If you throw up your hands in desperation because you just can’t figure out which body type you are, then try sticking to some general tips that should offer any figure a longer, leaner look:

1.  Choose stretch denim. Not only is it more comfortable, it is also more forgiving.
2.  When in doubt, opt for a relaxed fit, medium rise jean.
3.  Never choose jeans that are too bulky or baggy.
4.  It’s hard to go wrong with the standard five-pocket classic jean.
5.  Most women can wear boot cut and flared leg jeans because they make any figure look long and lean.
6.  Few women can wear the skinny jean or tapered cut well because they basically require the perfect body. If it’s a choice between jeans that are snug or those a little big, go for the snug. Denim relaxes as it is worn.
7.  Don’t choose jeans that are either too short or too long. The hem should cover most of your shoe.
8.  Darker denims make any body appear slimmer while excessively light denims can actually add bulk.
9.   Avoid focusing on “size” and pay attention to “fit.”
10. Be certain that back pockets don’t add ugly bulk or make the bottom look too large because of embellishment.
11. Just because everyone else is wearing embellishment doesn’t mean you have to if it doesn’t flatter your figure.
12. Make sure that “fades” accent your figure rather than working against it.
13. Take your body measurements with you on your search so sales clerks can help you locate the right fit.
14. Don’t get hung up on a designer label. Look for jeans that fit, even if that means a cheap pair of Levis.

Once you understand which cut and fit of jean best suits your body type, narrow down your choices that also suit your personal style. To make a statement with your jeans, they have to suit who you are as a person. That is almost as important as the fit itself.

Choosing the right perfume to suit your style and needs is challenging, but rewarding and fun. Your perfume is a way of expressing your personality. Like quality fashion accessories, good perfume adds a finishing touch to what you’re wearing.

It is easy to be persuaded by the extravagant advertisements of the perfume industry, but it is a mistake to decide what you want without first trying a perfume out properly. Remember that the description of a perfume in a magazine, no matter how persuasive, is only a description. Perfumes that contain quality ingredients are expensive and it is very important that when you wear your perfume you feel great.

The first step is to think about what kinds of smells you find most attractive. Do some research. Do you love the smell of a cake baking? There are a lot of perfumes these days based around the scent of vanilla. Are you a beach person who loves the smell of the ocean? The new oceanic fragrances might be right for you.

You may not think you want to smell like tea or fresh laundry but if you like these smells they may be a clue to the sort of perfume your looking for.

The six main categories of perfume are:

1. Floral - with flowers as the dominant theme, very feminine and romantic.

2. Fruity- spicy and fresh with fruits used as part of the formula

3. Oceanic â€" modern perfumes that use synthetic elements to smell strongly of the sea and it’s environs.

4. Greens- fresh energetic perfumes that remind you of the outdoors.

5. Orientals- sexy exotic and intense perfumes that smell of musk, vanilla, spices and opulent heavy flowers.

6. Woody-Perfume that smell like bark, moss and other things you might find in the forest.


Different perfumes are suitable for different occasions, and age groups. A green perfume is especially suitable for a young girl while an oriental may be too sophisticated for a teenager. Orientals are intense and tend to be more suited to eveningwear and special occasions while greens are more appropriate for casual wear. Lighter perfumes are refreshing during hot weather and heavier perfumes are comforting in the cooler months.

Once you have a good idea of what type of perfume you are after, you are ready to approach the shop counter and find a skillful salesperson to help you. Always try a perfume out on your skin, not on those little bits of cardboard the sales people are so ready to offer you. Perfume mixes with your own personal scent and smell and is different on different people, so never assume that a perfume that smells great on a friend will smell good on you.

Spray the perfume on the vein of your wrist where the skin is warm, as this will diffuse the scent. You can try out two perfumes, one on each wrist during one trip to the mall, but not more than two as your nose will start to get confused and you will end up smelling like a perfume factory.

Get into a habit of trying a new perfume each time you pass by your local duty-free shop, pharmacy or department store. This will help you in your quest to find the perfect perfume and give you a chance to enjoy each scent on it’s own merits.

Don’t sniff the perfume immediately after you spray it. If it has alcohol in it this will assault your senses. Wait a bit. Remember that most perfumes will go through three stages called the top, middle and base notes. You cannot judge a perfume simply on it’s top notes although this is what will make the first impression. For example, the oriental perfume Dioressence by Dior has top notes of clove, cinnamon and geranium then middle notes of patchouli and jasmine and ends with base notes of vanilla and tuberose with the smell of carnation present in all three layers.

Never rub perfume on your skin, as you will damage the delicate ingredients. Take your time and enjoy your search.

Home Remedies For Shiny Hair
By: Sharon Hopkins

We all love our hair and would not mind taking that extra step to take care of it. For beautiful, lustrous and shiny hair use these simple home remedies.

• A tea and beer rinse is one of the oldest ways to bring shine to your hair. Boil used tea leaves in enough water, let it cool and then use this liquid as the last rinse.

• In the similar fashion you can use flat beer (i.e. after letting the fizz out). This is a great conditioner to be used for your hair.

• Lemon juice mixed with water can also be used as a last rinse to give your hair a shiny and bouncy look.

• A shiny look is also provided if you use vinegar for your final rinse.

• To bring that shine one can use honey to keep your scalp moisturized. You can make honey lotion for your hair by mixing 3 teaspoons of honey for pint of water.

• The use of henna as a natural conditioner proves to be very beneficial for your hair. It helps to bring back the bounce and flair of your hair which has been lacking for quite a while.




• You can add small amount of baking soda in the shampoo which, removes dirt and grease from your hair to give you the shiny look.

• To remove the dirt and other matter from your hair you can use one fourth cup of apple cider vinegar in one gallon of condensed water. This can be stored in the refrigerator and can be used every two weeks for clean, smooth, silky and shiny hair. The proper way to use this solution is to wet your hair with warm water, shampoo it later rinse it. Pour two cups of this mixture and leave it in your hair for sometime. The last stage is to rinse your hair with cold-water.

• To get that extra shine for your hair brew one cup of strong espresso, let it cool. Pour the espresso over your dry hair and leave it for 20 minutes. Rinse it to get the extra shine and glow.

• You can also make Egg shampoo at home which requires 1 egg, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon castile soap, 1/2 a cup water or herbal tea and last but not the least 5 drops of essential oils of your choice. Blend all these together to make an Egg shampoo which can bring shine to your hair.

• Many of us who want to clean their hair use shampoos. Try this for a change, massage baking soda into your hair and scalp. This absorbs oil and loosens the dead skin on the scalp. Rinse it thoroughly with water. In the initial stages the hair would be dry but after several weeks you would be dandruff free with smooth and shiny hair.

Aguy! If not for Ginger i wont notice im being acknowledged here. Thanks guys for all the messages. Im just returning all the inspirations you've given me. My creations here are just reflections of how warm TB people are, trully amazing! I would want to be a Hero in my own little way and being a Photoshop Jewel (thanks to Mike for that crown) doesnt change me at all. The real me cant be Photoshoped, im just simply me. Thanks guys for being my home away from home and MY FAMILY.

Wow. It's like reading a strategy map, Lorenzo.
If this is the desired outcome, this is the strategy to employ.
Calculated. Foreseen. Controlled.

I only have one weapon in my arsenal:

"Johnson's Baby Cologne.... bago ligo ang pakiramdam"

Works for me everytime, anytime.

hands up on Johnsons baby cologne esp the blue one on men... a turn on!

our heartfelt condolence to mike and the bereaved family. all our prayers and love to your family as you go through all the hardships. 

there is internet access in the town proper but ive heard it's dial up still but will do.
