Alcohol drinking is often associated and is part of every social gatherings and parties. This is acceptable since moderate intake of such is not harmful for most people. What’s not is when a person encounters serious trouble with his drinking leading to abuse of it. Serious effects of alcohol abuse can be life threatening. The risk of certain cancers is increased and it can also cause immune system problems and brain damage. May also harm the fetus during pregnancy. Social effects of alcoholism include risks of death from car crashes, public disorders, and even marital conflicts and domestic violence.

A dipsomaniac, just like a drug dependent, must be helped to overcome this abuse by encouraging an alcoholism treatment. An improperly managed alcohol withdrawal can also be harmful that’s why a treatment program is the best and safe way to overcome alcoholism.

As my birthday is just a few days away, here I am browsing on the web for new Hairstyles that will look good on me. Yes, I am up for a makeover although not really a huge one because it just has to do with the hair. It’s been a while since I last went to the salon so this period will be the perfect time to initiate a change. Motherhood and immense work load made me somehow neglect to care for my looks so as I get a year older, I vow to make my face look younger.

I just found a great resource of the Latest Hairstyles on the web and I’m so ecstatic. I got tons of options now aside from the boring and usual straight cut which I’ve had for a long time. I’m thinking of saying bye-bye to my long hair and sport a short bob haircut this time. Not really the shortest ones that’s close to a barber’s cut but more of like Victoria Beckham’s hair here:

I wonder if this fits me good. Having a chin-length cut of straight Hair Styles or curls and waves is one tip I got for my face’s shape. Hmm it’s kind of confusing me still but I guess that’s what hairdressers are for. I’ll just ask for a recommendation from them.

While everyone’s still high with the Oscars results, I’m thinking about something else. Every year, exceptional celebrities are awarded the much coveted ‘golden man’ statue for their entertainment craft. While some may put it in a special spot to showcase it, it’s surprising that some winners put them in the oddest places like Russelle Crowe. He keeps it in his chicken coop because he says, “it inspires the chickens to lay more eggs”. Jodie Foster, on the other hand, used to keep it in the bathroom beside the faucet until the bottom corroded and placed it in a trophy case after. Weird but amusing.

Speaking of the Oscars trophy, I just learned that it is constructed of Britannia metal with gold plating. A number of these was reported stolen perhaps thinking that they can make money out of it. Sorry to burst their bubble but the sale of statuettes was forbidden since 1950’s. So if they think that they can mint the gold or of some sort, I suggest they just buy gold coins instead and learn the ropes of precious metal investment. That’s a sure way to riches especially now that gold value is doing better these past few months. Financial experts say that as the Euro dollar does great against the US dollar, it is expected that the gold industry will further surge.

I’m currently reviewing some term life insurance quotes but no matter how hard I concentrate on computing figures, I can’t help but think about our summer swimming getaway next month. Vacation mode, it is! It’s just very odd because I’m starting my week with a mountain load of work but all I think is about the beach, the cool sea breeze, the sound of the ocean waves, sexy swimwear, sunblock lotion, refreshing fruit shakes, sand castles, etc.

Arrghhh..this is tormenting.

Anyway, since I can’t teleport and bring myself to the beach now, let me just share the cutesie summer fashion pieces for little boys and girls I found at Gymboree. I already bought a rashguard set for the little one but I’m so itching to buy him another one. Hmmmm….excited much?

I bet you’re currently glued to your lcd monitor at this moment watching and eagerly await the Oscars results. And for those fashion critics out there, you have been all eyes, too, as to who among the celebrities who walked the red carpet are the best and worst dressed so far. I can’t wait to read the fashion blogs’ take on this year’s bodaciously beautiful iconic looks as well as the downright funky fashion of some.

Here are some of the fresh Oscars fashion picks of Fabsugar for their readers’ voting.

I didn’t have much photos taken during my pregnancy with my son. It’s not that I looked so humongous (in fact, I was one sexy expectant mom, modesty aside) nor did I have terribly swollen nose that’s not worth documenting on pictures. I totally blame it to laziness brought about by pregnancy hormones. You know, the feeling of always “not in the mood” to do anything even just to pose or smile for the cam. I really was one lazy pregnant mom all throughout. I even abhorred wearing make up or shopping for the trendiest and most fashionable Maternity Clothes. I cared less if I looked unlovely and unfashionable. That is why, if you’re going to browse my closet, you won’t find much maternity apparels. What I have in possession were just a pair of Maternity Jeans, 2 maternity leggings, a few Maternity Shirts and blouses. Suddenly, (in my normal hormones), I feel like wishing that I should have tried resisting the lazy hormones way back then. I’m looking at the fashionable pregnancy clothes pieces at Emommie.com (the number 1 site for used maternity clothing) and I feel like I missed a lot. I missed the chance of prettifying my preggy self and given with a tiny physique then, I’m certain that a lot of these pieces would have looked good in my pregnant body.

I’m not really a big fan of reality tv shows except for the local version of Big Brother (PBB) and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition over at Lifestyle Network. My fascination over the latter just became intense recently because I can so relate and I love getting home ideas and inspirations especially now that our Little Mansion is almost accomplished. The designers and the brains behind each design works in every episode are geniuses because they absolutely “make over” the house so skillfully. I’m so impressed how they manage to make an almost dilapidated house to a majestic and seemingly a brand new house even.

If you’re watching the show, I bet you’ve noticed their usage of mobile homes in some episodes. I just made further research about these manufactured homes and came to know that a lot in the US now opt for these cheaper mobile homes for sale that are manufactured in factories and are available in almost every state. They say that it’s way cheaper than the site-built ones because of various manufacturing factors entailed such as efficient management of factory workers (compared to contractual laborers on site), cheaper materials acquired at wholesale because of large orders and controlled assembly line techniques of the parts. Another remarkable thing about this type of home is that, it’s environment friendly processes used in manufacturing.

Aesthetics, durability and quality wise, I think, these new mobile homes are at par with the usual site-built ones, don’t you agree?

A relaxing picturesque such as this makes me yearn all the more for a pampering beach getaway this summer. Especially with the formidable heat that we are experiencing now in my neck of the woods, nothing is more soothing and calming other than basking under the sun in the white pristine sand and with a magnificent Atlantic Ocean view from any of the Key West Resorts. Located in one of the most popular streets in the US, Key West Duval Street Hotels provide not just an instant access to the Southernmost point in the Continental U.S. but an enjoyable and relaxing vacation through exemplary Key West lodging with a tropical modern and nautical feel. The Southernmost Hotel offers various amenities and complimentary services that are simply irresistible. Consider having a Key West Wedding if you are scouting for a romantic destination on your wedding day.
