			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While I was watching the latest season of American Idol, I noticed one of the male contestants showing signs of stage fright.  He frequently switched hands holding the microphone and moved in awkward motion.  After his song number, the judges noted his awkward moves, too.  But he was told that despite the obvious nervousness he displayed, he still is on top of the lead because of his unique voice.</p>
<p>I believe many (if not all) performers or speakers  go through this challenging phase of getting over stage fright.  Even those who are confident with their skill or talent feel nervous when facing a huge crowd.  But public speaking (or performing) should not impede what we are set to accomplish.  There are many ways to deal with this anxiety and one of them is a supplement called <a title="Bravina" href="http://www.bravina.com/" target="_blank">Bravina</a>.</p>
<p><a title="Bravina" href="http://www.bravina.com/" target="_blank">Bravina</a> helps get rid of public speaking anxiety and has of course, proven its effectiveness with 96% (for public speaking) and 81% (for concentration) customer satisfaction rating.  Apart from taking <a title="Bravina" href="http://www.bravina.com/" target="_blank">Bravina</a>, there are speech advice and tips that can be easily downloaded and referenced from their website.</p>
<p>For people who are currently on medication, it is advisable to consult a physician prior taking <a title="Bravina" href="http://www.bravina.com/" target="_blank">Bravina</a> supplements.  Apart from that, safety of this supplement is guaranteed.  So, if taking these supplements seem too good to be true, check out their website to get more information.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I seldom watch the morning shows on the local channels.  The early morning ones, which start at 6am (I think) to 9am are really good but the ones that come after just cover tons of celebrity and fashion stuff that are not really my interest.  One time, I chance upon a morning show and nearly before each commercial break, the show featured a campaign for an exercise equipment.  I was shocked to see how many types of machines or <a title="elliptical" href="http://www.proform.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Category2_-1_10351_13402_21664_Y" target="_blank">elliptical</a>s they have these days and I wonder if people do buy or use them.  For me, apart from the good old treadmill, everything else is just a big marketing gimmick.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has gotten a bit chilly this week.  Thank God summer is finally over!  But one thing that I don&#8217;t exactly like about my favorite Autumn season and the forthcoming winter is going about a very basic beauty regimen.  That is rubbing heaps of moisturizer a few times a day!  Yea, I’m lazy like that.  And no matter how I try to ignore this simple routine, my skin finds its way to get my attention!  It gets extremely dry.  Ha!  In no time, I’ll be running to the nearest beauty shop to buy a range of  <a title="antiaging therapy" href="http://www.totalhormonegenetherapy.com" target="_blank">antiaging therapy</a> creams.</p>
<p>Well, who am I kidding?  At my age, I should very well be paying attention to my health and overall well -being.  I’m not too concerned right now but ten years down the road, I just might regret letting my skin get dark, deep wrinkles and overly dry and flaky.  Yikes!  And by then, I might as well be thinking about <a title="hormone replacement therapy" href="http://www.totalhormonegenetherapy.com/hormone_replacement.html" target="_blank">hormone replacement therapy</a>, too!  Ah, what’s a girl got to do?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When we’ve decided to eat ‘healthier’ foods earlier this year, we started to veer away from a lot of processed foods, junk foods and even soft drinks.  From time to time, we give in to the ‘temptations’ of an ice-cold Coke or a bag of chips, but we do control our intake of these unhealthy foods.</p>
<p>Also, we don’t encourage our daughter to eat chocolates (or other forms of sweets or junk foods).  First, there’s no health value in them.  Second, we want to take care of her teeth.  And third, we don’t want her to gain unnecessary weight.  No parent wishes for their children to someday worry about health and weight and search for <a title="diet pills" href="http://pricesexposed.net/home.php?rev=reviews/Diet_Pills.php" target="_blank">diet pill that works</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was just talking to the husband the other day, about how some of our friends are not exactly looking forward to the coming holidays.  Our friends, in fact they are two couples, have been trying to get pregnant for over a year with no luck.</p>
<p>What is the relation between the holidays and pregnancy, you might ask?  Well, it is during this season when families get together and usually, topics about who has yet to get married or have kids come about.  Unfortunately, well meaning family members can get pretty ‘insensitive’ when they bring up those subjects.</p>
<p>Especially so if the couple (if they’ve been trying for a baby for a long time), has subjected themselves to various tests (e.g. <a title="progesterone" href="http://www.ultrapms.com/" target="_blank">progesterone</a> tests, sperm count) and has failed in their work-up attempts.  That can aggravate the pain and frustration of being put in the ‘spotlight’.</p>
<p>That’s why our holiday wishes for them are, (1) that they survive their reunion parties unscathed, (2) eventually get over the (fertility) humps (3) and bear as many children as they want!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our friends came over to our apartment today at lunch.  During the course of our conversation, the topic shifted from food to health and age.  We are nearing the mid-30’s mark and we agreed that we can feel the ‘punch’ of being old.  And by old we mean not being that physically fit as we used to five years ago.</p>
<p>So many thoughts were running through my mind that time.  Soon enough, we will be talking about <a title="Body Logic MD" href="http://www.bodylogicmd.com" target="_blank">bio-identical hormones</a> or consulting <a title="Body Logic MD" href="http://www.bodylogicmd.com" target="_blank">hormone doctor</a>s.  It is scary, to say the least.  I’ve heard my mother complain about hot flashes, fatigue and weight gain.  Who wants to go through all that?</p>
<p>These days, many physicians offer <a title="Body Logic MD" href="http://www.bodylogicmd.com" target="_blank">bioidentical</a> hormone therapy that is supposed to help deal with hormonal imbalance, menopause or andropause (male menopause).  This hormone therapy replaces the critical hormones that we lose as we age.  Aside from this, they also offer tips for overall wellness and proper nutrition.</p>
<p>It is interesting to read about articles related to this.  And I know someday I will devote time to know more about hormone therapy.  But for now, I will enjoy my life to the fullest and think about hormone checks when the time comes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the health conscious, the upcoming holidays present a challenge.  It’s a time to reunite with friends and loved ones and that spells “PARTY”.  And what’s a party without food?  I have heard from friends that it is at this time that they forget about their diet, enjoy the celebrations and cut down on food again after the New Year’s.  It may not be a good health/diet plan, but it is understandable to say the least.</p>
<p>And for some who resort to diet pills, my advice is to be very careful in choosing which brand to buy.  There are websites out there which provide diet pills review such as <a href="http://pricesexposed.net/home.php?rev=reviews/Hoodia_Diet_Pills_Review.php">hoodia</a>.  The brand itself is rated and reviewed along with the other top diet pills.  The site includes health benefits and consumer rating for consumers to be made aware before buying. Hoodia has been featured in popular shows like 60 Minutes and The Today Show and that may have some bearing on the company’s reputation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have many things planned for our trip back home and one of my priorities is to see my dentist.  We had a pre-arranged appointment from December last year (yes, that long) and we discussed then that I just might wear braces again.  I’m not happy with it, just thinking of the last time I wore them make me cringe, but I’d do anything to save my teeth.</p>
<p>I also enquired with the dentist about <a href="http://www.lumineers.com/" target="_blank">veneers</a>.  It sounds vain, I know, but it helps to know more hence I asked.  But she advised that before I can go ahead with <a href="http://www.lumineers.com/" target="_blank">dental veneers</a>, I need the braces first.</p>
<p>So there, <a href="http://www.lumineers.com/" target="_blank">cosmetic dentistry</a> would have to wait for me.  I hope that I can get everything done before we go back here next year.  Imagine spending days of your precious vacation on a dentist’s chair?  Not my idea of a good break but I have no other choice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’m feeling lethargic today.  It must be because I’ve been staying up late, I’m taking more coffee and missing meals every now and then.  In fact, I’ve lost the few pounds that I gained since we came to Sydney.  I don’t intend to be thin, as in really thin.  It’s alarming when you know that your body can’t cope with day to day responsibilities.</p>
<p>While others are working towards losing weight and taking <a href="http://www.lipovox.org/">lipovox</a>, mine is the opposite.  I want to gain some weight and to keep fit.  I’m planning to start some sort of exercise regimen at home with the 3 yoga DVDs I recently got.  Well, I prefer cardio exercises like kick boxing or taebo, but yoga is a good start.</p>
<p>It would be nice to feel “fit” once again.  My age is surely catching up on me and I better do what I can to take care of my health.</p>
