    peachpurple wrote a new post, Dilemma of Stay At Home Mom 8 years, 3 months ago

    I often used to think about it.

    Did I made the right or wrong decision to resign from my full-time job with a decent monthly salary to a Stay at Home Mom for good?

    In our modern techno society, most women ( […]

    • “A wise woman builds her home.” Whatever is included in that process, i.e. building your home … be is deciding to stay at home, working a job outside the home, etc. … if you goal is to build your home and have a wonderful family life, your heart is in the right place. For most women, if their heart is in the right place, their family knows that and will help them make a happy home. Do what works for you and your family. Don’t let other people tell you what you’re supposed to do IN YOUR HOUSE. Because if you follow their advice and your home life gets damaged, they’re not going to offer any help fixing it back! They’ll walk off and leave you with the mess that they helped create!

    • A stay at home mum has too many things to think about and also take care of. Many women opt to work because the work of a work at home mum is quite hard it’s not as easy as it may sound of seem. Taking care of children is the hardest job ever that women have to face whether they are working other jobs or not. It entails so much the waking up early, doing laundry cooking an the like. Many women would like to take the time to stay home and take care of their children for free that their children may not fall into temptation of misbehave. I may agree to the idea of staying home but at times a woman just needs her freedom sometimes and not depend her husband for everything. That’s why some of them just want to have a job of their own.

    • As I have said in my many articles that woman means construction and man means destruction. All women must build their homes for their children as you see that a male sparrow builds home first before choosing the female sparrow I saw in The National Geographic Channel. Looking at the scene I wondered really how the male sparrow trapped a female sparrow and after mating the male flew in search of fod.

      And that child needs his own house. He has his own needs that are not personal. Or professional. And these needs become priority because he/she is too small to build his/her own house. We pull more blocks from our various houses. Relationships change. Career goals change. Our personal house falls to the side.

      I have had a hard time finding my own little house… The one I started with. The one I have always told others to maintain. The one that belonged SOLELY to me. The one that had nothing to do with my marriage, career, children…

      I thought of all the women — all the mothers, who some days find themselves resenting the other houses… and all of the bricks they had to pull from their own roofs to build new, structurally sound homes for spouses, and jobs and children

    • Garlic and onions are the heart of most tasty cuisines and dishes around the world.

      Off the top of my head, the only dishes I can think to make that don’t involve garlic or onions are suitable mostly for kids: scrambled eggs, French fries, and grilled cheese sandwiches, or a nice pan-fried salted steak. And while all of those items are delicious, you can’t eat them night after night.

      Never fear: the rich flavors of garlic and onions can be duplicated or mimicked with the careful and clever use of other vegetables, herbs, and cooking ingredients, once you know where to look.

      Me myself, with the bread maker machine at home, would try to make no sugar, sometimes, no egg, no butter plain toast for the breakfast with coffee.
      My raisin on the top of the bread always get burn, darkie, son does not like it at all. If not mistaken, the raisin need to be soaked first, right?

    Our body is alike a machine.

    You will need to maintain your body well in order to live well and age well.

    A human body that is nurtured, protected and used properly, it will function efficiently alike a […]

    • To keep body healthy is not easy in this modern age where every one is running after money. Happy are those who pay attention to their health. Our life is a simple biological cycle which depends on what we eat to survive.

      A strong mind and healthy body makes a complete person. Our health can be easily maintained by our food habits and daily. It might sound silly to take care of health while we have lot of wealth to treat our sickness or diseases.

      A wise man would definitely realize that health is more important to survive; not wealth. We should never forget the saying “Prevention is better Than Cure”. If we, ourselves, maintain our health there would be no necessity of treatments in future. So, we should learn that “Health is Wealth”

      Remembering these thoughts would definitely give you ideas on how to keep yourself healthy. Keep yourself engaged with healthy thoughts; regular exercises and walk would help for sure. Fruits and vegetables are the best sources of health. One who follows these and gains a healthy life is a wealthy person. Just before running after money compromising your health, time and happiness, remind yourself

    • Want to become a very healthy person? It’s all about making gradual changes.

      In order to be a very healthy person, you need to consistently get enough sleep. That means 7-9 hours per night for adults, 8-10 hours for teenagers, and 9-11 hours for children. This keeps you awake and alert, so you don’t have to drink caffeine and sugar-loaded energy drinks. Sleep is also when most of the body and mind’s healing and detoxifying takes place. If you are a kid and have early school times, go to sleep earlier on school nights.

      Don’t overdo it, though. Sleeping too much can be as bad as not sleeping enough. If you miss some sleep one night, you can sleep longer another night to make up for that. But in general, try to stay within the right range for your age.

    • Other thing is that we should eat an appropriate, healthy balanced diet containing all the nutrients your body requires. A proper diet contains the right balance of carbohydrates, protein, fruits and vegetables, and fat. For carbohydrates, try to eat whole grains. Lean meat, fish, eggs, and nuts are some of the best sources of protein. Try to get at least 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. A certain amount of fat is also needed to keep your body functioning smoothly; fish oil, olive oil, and coconut oil are some particularly beneficial fats.

      Drink water. It is key in making you run throughout the day. Try drinking 8 eight-ounce glasses of water each day. It helps you re-energize and keep going. Not drinking enough fresh water can lead to acne, headaches, and even dehydration. Do this, and you’ll become a very healthy person.

    • For someone who is busy, get some exercise every day, even just a little. This will not only make you feel better, and make you look better, but help you to get through the day. Research has proven that exercising regularly helps you feel better because endorphins released by the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus during exercise produce a feeling of happiness and well being. Walking is a great exercise. Walk to work or school if you can. If you can’t walk the whole way, try parking farther away from your destination so you can walk a least part of the way. You can get of the bus or train a stop earlier if you don’t drive.

    peachpurple wrote a new post, Does Oily Food Cause Acne? 8 years, 3 months ago

    There are many myths spreading around the world that oily /fatty foods and sweetened beverages caused acne.

    What is the truth behind this Acne Myth that you had heard […]

    • When I was in my teen years I had a problem with acne. I had two friends that had the smoothest skin in the world. To contrast and compare, there was definitely a difference in our diets, such as eating greasy potato chips versus not eating greasy potato chips. So in response to question does oily food cause acne? Cause acne? OK. I’ll compromise. It contributes. Oily food contributes to acne.

    • No oily food foods not cause acne because acne is the cause of lack of water proper amount in human body cells. I am a medical astrologer and and I receive many questions daily on this topic from my country and out of my country. Check my gig on Fiverr.com writing my name jhsayyaar gig

      Two main things work in human body heat and water. Its process is easy when water becomes less in human body cells they become heated and acne appears on human skin surface as you know water balance heat in human body and there is no other cause of this disease.

      I recommend medicines for those who have this problem.

      Use (Euginia jambos) 30x

      Ten drops daily in one fourth glass of water three times in a day in semi hot water.

      If the skin is weather beaten use this medicine

      Dulcamaria 30

      Use 10 drops of medicines in semi hot water in the one fourth glass of water. three times daily

      Note
      You will get these two medicine from any Homeopathy Store.

    • Acne is caused by oil-producing glands in the skin getting blocked, leading to blackheads, redness and spots with pus where bacteria infiltrate the area. Production of oil (sebum) is increased by sex hormones, hence the appearance of acne at adolescence. Acne is definitely not caused by dirty skin. However, diet may have a role, albeit a small one.

    So far, I had cooked Pattaya Fried Rice, Tuna Fried Rice, Pasta Sauce Fried Rice, Village Fried Rice […]

    • The fried rice looks nice! My son loves to have fried rice too. I love to fry the overnight rice in order to kill it. Hehe!
      My son looked at your picture in front of the laptop just now, he mentioned he doesn’t like the green peas, as usual.
      Thus, I not really buy those chopped veges, like carrots, corns and green peas from the supermarket.
      I chop the fresh one for instead, and just put anything I can find from the freeze. That’s all.
      And, off course, eggs are always the most convenient ingredient can be found at home.
      I remembered that my brother and me loves to fry rice by own after school if found the dishes not in our favour, and egg is the only ingredient. However, the fry rice still very delicious. What a sweet memory!
      I have fried rice and take some pictures as well, but still have no time to convert it into a blog in the order way like yours.Salute!

    • This is indeed a great recipe! I think many would like this recipe.

    • This sounds very yummy – except for the mushrooms. I think I would leave those out! I’m just not a mushroom fan though. I love all types of fried rice. Shrimp fried rice happens to be my favorite because I am a seafood lover. There is a Chinese food place in a very bad part of town which has the most delicious fried rice in the entire city. It’s dangerous to go there but from time to time I can’t resist because the food is so good.
      I envy you being able to make your own fried rice! I’m horrible at cooking and always have to buy it out somewhere.

    • This looks so good! I love fried rice! I have only made a few time, now I have your help! Thanks!

    • This is a very long post worth to cherish for like me, I can add my knowledge about a kind of cooking like this. This is a great recipe .It is very nutritious.the ingredients alone can attest its nutrition value. I truly believe that if we only try , we can achieve our gal.The try to cook from we can become a perfect cook from our constant practice.Very yummy food, love it.

    • It is a delicious dish for the new comer sometime my mom prepares it at home but I do not like it most because I like sweet dish every time that is why salty dish I do not like it.

      My mom makes it add Chinese sausage and long beans; stir-fry well. Add bird’s eye chillies, the cooked rice, and seasoning. Toss and fry over high heat until thoroughly mixed. Turn off the heat and sprinkle in coarse ground black pepper to mix.

      3 tbsp oil
      1 tbsp dried shrimps, rinsed and finely chopped
      ½ tsp chopped garlic
      2 egg whites
      1 tbsp diced Chinese sausage (lap cheong) or other sausages
      2 long beans, finely sliced
      2 bird’s eye chillies, finely sliced
      3 bowls cooked rice, cooled
      1-2 dashes coarse ground black pepper

      Heat two tablespoons oil in a wok over medium heat and fry dried shrimps and garlic until fragrant. Push aside the fried ingredients.

      Add remaining oil and scramble the egg whites until just cooked.

    • Did you steam the corns with its leaves? My son loves to eat corn too!
      I normally cook it in the hot water for time saving,fast!
      I found the corn is more expensive nowadays if compared to those old days. It costs RM1.50 or even more per piece. I don’t really understand what is the reason behind.
      Thus, I not buy very often, just wait when there is some offer, like 5 for RM5. The cheapest I have ever gotten was RM0.50 per piece at the wholesale wet market.
      However, it could make me scared on if it contains too much chemical residuals or not. Thus, I did not purchase too many.
      The corns from Cameron Highland are very nice to eat, very sweet and have two colours, white and yellow, it could be DNA modified type.
      After steaming, apply some butter and salt on the top would make the corn taste even better and sweet, I think. However, I not do in this way very often as I am the lazy type mummy, again. Haha!

    peachpurple wrote a new post, 5 Ways How to Stop Procrastination 8 years, 3 months ago

    Everyone is busy with work.

    It seems that work is never done, always accumulating everyday.

    However, why do some people can finish their work earlier than due date while you can’t?

    Do you procrastinate […]

    • Procrastination is a bad habit because it loses the chances of success in life because chances ever come in human life. The brave avail of chances bravely and the coward wait for the chances until happens mishap in life.

      I think that Procrastination means to postpone doing something, especially as a regular practice. It is also to delay something that one should do and it is not done because one does not want to do it. There are habits that do not do any good to people but harm, procrastination is one among them.

      Everyone procrastinates sometimes, but 20 percent of people chronically avoid difficult tasks and deliberately look for distractions—which, unfortunately, are increasingly available. Procrastination in large part reflects our perennial struggle with self-control as well as our inability to accurately predict how we’ll feel tomorrow, or the next day.

      Procrastinators may say they perform better under pressure, but more often than not that’s their way of justifying putting things off. The bright side? It’s possible to overcome procrastination

      If you’re honest with yourself, you probably know when you’re procrastinating. But to be sure, take our Are You a Procrastinator? Add to My Personal Learning Plan self test.

      Here are some useful indicators that will help you know when you’re procrastinating:

      Filling your day with low priority tasks from your To Do List.
      Reading e-mails several times without starting work on them or deciding what you’re going to do with them.

      Sitting down to start a high-priority task, and almost immediately going off to make a cup of coffee.

      Leaving an item on your To Do list for a long time, even though you know it’s important.

      Regularly saying “Yes” to unimportant tasks that others ask you to do, and filling your time with these instead of getting on with the important tasks already on your list.

      Waiting for the “right mood” or the “right time” to tackle the important task at hand

      I think if ant procrastinator will act upon these steps he will overcome this bad habit.
