Useful Stuff About Traveling

For the first time in my life I feel I have a “big belly”. Really, this makes me laugh because I was always a skinny, slim girl and woman, I now, with a few more pounds I feel that maybe I need to exercise to lose belly fat.

I always hear people complaining that they are fat and that I’m slim, people envy me because they have to take slimming tablets for women and I don’t. Doctors always told me I was fine, no need to increase the weight but if I could gain a few more pounds it would be great. So now, I’m on the “point”, right weight for my height. Oh, I just don’t need the fat belly.

Having a eleven years son makes me think about the new phase I will be going through: being the mother of an adolescence. There are already a few sign of body changes like hair and blackheads on his nose. I am already thinking about searching for blackhead treatments and he only is eleven years, what will I be doing when he is thirteen?

I am already trying to educate myself so I start looking for some book about adolescence. Here is one of those I found.

I am in the mood of changing the house decoration a little. I can’t afford new furniture so, I just want to move the location of the furniture I have.

Autumn is here and a change of season means a change in our life. Colds and flu’s are going to start attacking everybody, allergies, why not furniture too. I really would like to have some rustic furniture in the living room but for now I have to stay a few more years with my old couch’s. I’m thinking about restoring them myself. They are made of a sort of leather that is already a lot little damaged and I want o cover them with a new sort of cloth. My bedroom furniture also needs a coat of paint, it’s white and I want it brown or black.

Some people prefer to do these changes during spring but I prefer to do it now. Autumn is already a darker season, why not lighten it up with some changes around the house?

Cover of Younger Next Year

Younger Next Year: Live Strong, Fit, and Sexy – Until You’re 80 and Beyond is a book that most men will like.

Men are (almost) always obsessed with their body, their muscles, their image that’s why, sometimes when I go to a medical store I hear a man asking: “Can you recommend me the best vitamins for men? I want to get fit and lose some weight.”

So this book explains men what they can do to keep their body in shape.
Of all the anti-aging books I’ve seen, this is one of most laid back and entertaining. It’s written by two guys. Harry, the doctor, covers the science aspects of aging, while the other guy, Chris, talks about applying the info.

The book is centered around “Harry’s Rules.” These are seven rules for the reader to follow. They include such things as “Quit eating crap” or “Exercise six days a week for the rest of your life.” While they might seem to be basic pieces of information, they are sound advice and have some science behind them.

All-in-all, I found this to be a very informative and amusing book and I’d recommend it to anyone who is looking for a book on aging. The realistic key here is not to go into things thinking you’re going to STOP the aging process, rather think of SLOWING DOWN the aging process.
