40 is the new 30, 40 is the new 20, tips to stay young, young at heart, laugh lines, motivational

You may or may not know that I am 40, pushing 41 in a few months. I have mentioned my age few times on the blog but I try not to capitalize on it. After all, it's just a number. Look young, feel young. See I am not going to wear the archetypal preacher's hat i.e makeup when you're 40+, how to dress your age, etc. Either you do or don't. That's one great thing when you hit the big 4-0, you have mustered all the confidence (and hopefully smarts) to get you through the next chapters in your life.

Time Management, How to Manage Time, Time Management Tips, How To Beat Deadlines

If you multi-task every time, regardless of your status in life or society, whether you work full or part-time, you know that there isn't really enough time to accomplish most things because of the following factors: (1) unforeseen circumstances (2) workload just keep on piling (3) lack of help (4) procrastination (5) fatigue 

So I just went back to work after two weeks of holiday staycation, all refreshed and pumped up for the New Year...only to be greeted with two weeks worth of work and whatnot, backlog (admin-wise and patient care), insurmountable paperwork, deadlines, etc. Given all these blood-pressure raising challenges, how do I start and finish my first day at work unrattled?

Tell me you can relate. You log in to Facebook, only to read the same rants from the same people over and over and over and over again. That and the countless twerking, boob-popping, self-glorification of sorts that make me shake my head in disbelief, que horror! Oh well, to each his own but if you're looking for ways to welcome 2015 with a positive vibe, beautiful mind, and fabulous face, look no further because I have some tips for you. Let the countdown begin!

As a beauty blogger on the side, it's an open secret that I probably own more makeups compared to my next-door neighbors and friends. So much so that I needed a dedicated room for this passion to store my collections and write in seclusion. While there are things I still need to refurbish, build and update to convert it to my ultimate woman cave, I took the initiative to purge, throw, and declutter to welcome 2015 with a fresher perspective.

Do you tend to over-analyze things and situations? Spend hours or days thinking about what could have been the ultimate result had you done things differently? It's not a frequent occurrence but yeah, I do. Sometimes Le Hub will ask me "are you okay, you seem lost" or he'd tell me "snap out of your over-analysis, you can't control situations".

I hate to call myself Ms. Perfectionist because to err is human, as the adage goes. But one common trait among us striving for idealism is over-analysis. The tendency to think many times over. We don't stop until we have searched for the best solutions. And even if there are answers already, I still challenge myself. Mental torture it is.

He's not into you. Open your eyes. Follow your gut. Ignore your blind heart for love is fatal to the fools. Here's moi releasing my inner beast to share with you a piece of my relationship opinion. Let's just say that I've been there and done that stupid thing called love. Wisdom comes with experience. But don't get me wrong! Wild as it may sound but beneath this feisty facade is a mild heart to my Le Hub. No rhyme intended. 

Seriously, don't waste your time or attempt to be a life-saver for this hot -mess- of- a- guy, hoping against hope that he will be your knight in shining armor. If Mr. Perfection Right is not embedded in his nitty gritty bone, it's not going to happen. Sad but true. Spare yourself from drama and abuse. Your worth is way more than a dozen of roses or cheap box of chocolates he gives you each time he makes up for his mistakes. Get what I mean?  My Love 101 Radar says not to deliberately ignore these signs or your'e doomed girl...

1. Gut feel from family and close friends is often right. Nope, your man doesn't have to impress everyone in your circle. But there is no smoke without fire. What we see is what you don't because the love bug's venom is more potent than your rational thinking. Then the next turn of events. You will avoid friends and family to prevent conflict with your man. Then your man gains control of you. Then you think your man is the savior of your lonely life sans friends and family. The strong you becomes Ms. Dependent and weak. Pathetic. And who started this drama? Not us my friend. We are telling you from the beginning but you pushed us aside.
