An 80 degree weather calls for shorts and some spaghetti strapped top. I added some spice to it by coordinating bright orange colors and golds.

It feels like it was just yesterday when I we had her in our arms for the first. I honestly couldn’t remember hearing her first cry. I was so exhausted for pushing for almost 2 hours before she finally came out.
It was so all worth it! A healthy baby girl came out. And know is turning out to be a lovely little lady.
She is very caring, smart and a girly girly like me. She always likes wearing my shoes and clothes and everything.
Our bonding moments are practicing her gymnastic moves, exercising, crafts making bracelet, reading books, singing… And a lot more.
I just want to share to all of you all they joys of having a daughter. She can be like your best friend.

You don’t get to wear pajamas at work. Since we were allowed to do it for a day. Might as well dress up for it.
When my supervisor reminded me about wearing pajamas at work. I happened to be at target. So I went to their sleepwear section and picked these pair of exhilaration PJ’s.
I looked for fashionable, comfortable and professional looking PJ’s. And I found it! I wore them. Even my co workers stated they need to get cute PJ’s like mine.

The size for the top is relaxed fit.
Here are some solutions for your problem.
Jergens sunless tanning mousse or tanning lotion – If you are just worried about how they look and you have a fair skin. Use this Jergens sunless tanning mousse. Even with just one application you will already have the sun kissed looking skin to hide those veins. The application depends on how tanned you want it. This is very temporary the color can last for a week and is very cheap.
sclerotherapy – it invasive, they will inject a medicine to your spider veins or smaller varicose veins to shrink them. This is also temporary. When I has this procedure. The doctor explained to me that the veins are like highways. It is traffic that is why it bulges and when to do sclerotherapy you are clearing the traffic but other veins will build another highway eventually.
This is kind of expensive too. Most of the vein clinic offer this but because it is more of cosmetics. Most insurance won’t pay for it. Check out groupon for some deals in your area or if you really want the experts in vein. Try checking out Vein restoration of America.
For bigger varicose veins, most of the insurance covers these specially if you are experiencing pain. Which happened to me during my second pregnancy. I scheduled an appointment with them. Went there and they did an ultrasound so they can see where the blockage is. How big the blockage is and where they are.
From then they will determine what type of treatment they will give you. They have experienced doctors that will prescribe the best treatment for you. I had catheterization where they heat up the veins to shrink them, the second treatment was ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy, lastly was just regular sclerotherapy.
I had to wear compression stockings right after all sclerotherapy sessions. That should also be prescribed by your doctor.
Check out which ones you want but go to the vein clinics if there is pain. These are all out patient and you can drive back home right after. It is nice if this be done in the winter time because you might have some bruise right after that will last for few weeks. There are also some exercises that you can’t do after for a week. The doctors will talk you through it.
I had a great Mother’s Day celebration. My mom was with us too to celebrate it. We went to church and ate out and did some shopping.

Today was very nice because we were blessed to have a good sunlight. Usually at this time of the year, we have a lot of thunderstorms.
We took the chance to take some shots at the backyard with our princess with her outfit for her picture day at school.
This outfit is very nice because you can wear them at the park or at the beach… simply an outdoor weather outfit. It looks refreshing to the eyes. The material for this is very comfortable for a warm weather.

I’ve done this during Lent because I was thinking on what to give up (like a sacrifice) for That time. I thought that this will be a good one since all these food is what makes my day. Can you imagine it is like changing your lifestyle.
I was able to do it even more than 21 days because Lenten season is 40 days.
Right after the challenge, I was so eager to eat those junk foods that I missed. But when I tasted them. I said to myself, I really can live without them. Now, I just eat them every once in a while unlike before that I really have to have them.
I did a lot of good things on me. I lost some weight (fat), I lost my cravings on these type of food.
So if you are that person who is trying to get rid of some fats from your body and is trying to live a healthy lifestyle. Now is the time to do this challenge. It is only 21 days. You will never know how strong and disciplined you are until you try this.
I challenge you! Let me hear from you once you start doing this challenge.
