Essential oils

People,

How's it going?

On my part, bit tired from following online training at work and from drinking magnesium but shall be ok :)

And today, it's our one-year civil wedding anniversary. Souvenirs souvenirs :)

We lost cheek and love handles over the year but our love is definitely growing stronger. 

Well, let's talk about essential oils.

Learnt from naturopath that lavender oils make us feel relaxed and citrus oils, when spraying some droplets on your pillow, will help you a good night's sleep.

Tried lavender oil during the day and it smelled nice and sprayed some citrus droplets on our pillows. So, we'll see if the theory proves itself.

And cherry on the cake, the sewage system of whole flat building got lousy today and you can imagine the scent right now in our flat. But thanks to the citrus droplets, our bedroom smells nice.

Tip: Do get some essential oils (you can also use a burner or a travel format) for benefits.

I'm off to an air-freshened flat.

Laughing

Dearies,

How was your Monday?

Mine was ok..with some training drama at work but eventually could attend..

Why laughing as title today?

It's because had a nice laugh with colleagues.

I just changed team but it was so relaxing to be with my ex-teammates.

We talked, laughed, gossiped and all this made me feel good.

Even though I'm sometimes the serious type, I'm trying these days to loosen up, to take things lightly with a humorous touch.

I remember reading one story where the author was very tired, even depressed about things in life and she started reading jokes, watching comedies and taking things lightly.

Another story was about a man who got into a serious accident and the doctors told him that he would never recover. He proved them wrong by following a laughter therapy and patients even complained about his laugh noises that the doctors got him transferred to another. And he recovered fully!!!

Morale of the stories: Laugh till your belly hurts, it will do your health good and you can recover from whatever illness you may have.

Blogging :)

Peeps, howdy?

How was Sunday and weekend?

Mine was ok, trying out new supplements, cooking with hubby, movie, mass..

Too bad weekend is over huh..but looking forward to the next one :)

Today wanted to write about blogging and its benefits.

Are you a blogger? or just a reader?

I am more of a reader than a writer but since I got to writing, it seems easy, like the words flow out of mind and directly "on paper". I like that feeling of just outpouring emotions, feelings, opinions, etc.

It's not for the sake of reader that I write but because blogging makes me take time for myself (even if it's just 5 minutes)) but there's self-satisfaction.

I wanted to thank my no 1 fan (who'll read my blog in a few and he will recognize himself), I thank him for reading whatever I may want to write and I love him (I'll surely talk about him in another blog).

Tip of the day: start a blog as a hobby and you'll smile more as its therapeutic.

Have a great week ahead.

With love, Charlotte P.

Chinatown :)

Lovvies

All good?

Me, yes..today went house hunting with hubby.. Nice options seen on which we will ponder and pray on.

But let me speak of Chinatown.

One flat we went to visit was in Chinatown. Very animated, with Chinese shops and CHINESE DELICACIES :)

We heard some music and went to inquire. It was a group of youth singing and playing instruments. And they were playing next to a Chinese shop. Ofc, we went in and aha, lots of Chinese delicacies on sale.

We bought some for tea time and was super yummy. And made us long for more but that would be for another trip.

Cheers to Chinese delicacies :)

Happy Saturday

Brainstorming :)

Dearies,

Howdy?

It's Friday!!!! Welcoming the weekend and some fun activities to come.

Why the title?

Just because me and hubby don't have television at home. So, our dinners extend and cover any possible topic. And we like that :)

We keep on talking and talking until it's time to go do the dishes, prepare food for the next day, etc.

Tip of the day: switch off tv when you eat (eliminate distractions and food digestion is better). This will help you have deeper conversations with significant other or family. Or if you're single, to have a serious conversation with your food and do mindful eating.

Happy weekend to all

Attitude at work :)

Dearies

Howdy?

Last time, I did a tribute to my colleagues and today, I want to share something about attitude at work.

I asked the type of colleagues that you were and I would like to come back to this point.

How are your work relationships? Are colleagues eager to work with you? Or do they dread you coming in your team? 

That's definitely a point to ponder.

I would suggest to be courteous with everyone, from the cleaning lady to the director. Each person is there to do his/her job and it's of no use feeling superior at the office. Won't bring you nothing but disdain from others.

Always ask about others' health, interests and throw genuine compliments. Chit chat with colleagues at the water fountain and if you remember birthdays, wish the colleagues. Speak calmly and respect colleagues for who they are, even if they do make mistakes (who doesn't). Don't joke on anything sensitive and don't make fun of colleagues.

On that note, I'm off for today.

Take care,

Charlotte P.

House hunting :)

Dearies

Howdy?

Ready for the next half year?

I am and definitely sure the next 6 months will bring on some good news.

Looking forward to some couple plans with hubby, family plans, cousin's wedding,etc :)

Coming to the title, well me and hubby are currently house-hunting.

We are living in cozy flat since 1 year already but we want something that's ours and we have decided to go have a look at what's being sold on the market.

It's interesting to go see houses on construction or flat that has been here since 45 years already.

We are listing down criteria which we find important, giving ratings to houses and thinking of financial loan repayment options. Looks a nice assignment to finish off the year.

And ofc, praying to get the house of our dreams.

I prayed to have the perfect hubby and I got him. So, now think the Lord shall grant us the perfect house for us, as He wish,

I'll keep you posted on this house-hunting.

Cheers
