Caregiver Movie: Watch it online

Maybe I was expecting too much from the movie "Caregiver," that is why I cannot rate as five stars (only four out of five). It was a story that really happens to a lot of Filipinos who try to make a better future for their children by working abroad. So I know a lot of OFWs will love this movie. It was touching yet I am really expecting more since it was a long awaited movie of Sharon Cuneta. However, I can still say that it is worth watching. So you can try to watch it online if you want by going through these links:

Free Skin MD Natural for Bloggers!

There are times that natural skin care remedies are not enough in maintaining a glowing, supple and smooth skin. So we tend to look for other means of protecting our skin from sunlight and pollutants . One of which is with the use of a lotion. Now, you have the opportunity as a blogger to try Skin MD Natural for free. I got this interesting offer from Pete and I would like to share it with you and I quote :

“We are giving a free full sized bottle of Skin MD Natural ($18 value) to interested bloggers, in exchange for a review of the product on their blog (or website, magazine, etc.)! All we ask is that they have an active public blog and post regularly, and promise to promptly post their review of Skin MD Natural after trying it out. That's it!”

Here are some helpful information about the Product:
Name: Skin MD Natural
Description:Shielding lotion for face , body, and hands. Exceptionally enhances your skin's hydrating and protective abilities
Selling Price:$18 US for 4oz bottle
Manufacturer:21st Century Formulations
Website: www.SkinMDNatural.com

"A Shielding Lotion is far more effective as a dry skin care treatment than mere moisturizing lotions or protective creams. If you suffer from dry skin, you know that just using a moisturizing lotion doesn't solve the problem.

Skin MD Natural™ is promptly absorbed, without the slightest hint of any greasy or oily feeling or residue, transforming the outer layer of skin into a hydrating invisible shield.

Glycerin has been the standard against which all humectants are measured. Until now no other humectant drew in as much moisture from the air as glycerin. But the proprietary formulation in Skin MD Natural™ has a moisturizing factor of at least 6 times greater than glycerin. "

So would you like to be free from any skin problems? And are you up for a challenge? If you are, then send your intention to Pete at : petegrimaldi@earthlink.net and don't forget to include your mailing address. I just received my free sample two days ago so I'll be trying this out this week.

(If you have any problems contacting Pete or have further questions, please don't hesistate to send me a note =)

Easy and Delicious Melt-in-your-mouth Chocolate cake

It's my oldest sister's birthday today and I thought of baking a cake for her instead of cooking the baked macaroni. I wanna try something new and so I told her daughters about my plan and they said that they will help me out.

It'll be the very first cake that I will bake so I googled a recipe for an easy chocolate cake. And the most interesting of the search result is the Melt-In-Your-Mouth Chocolate Cake by Clotilde of Chocolate & Zucchini

As you can see, the ingredients are easy to find, food processor or a mixer is not needed and the procedures are easy to follow. So here is our very own version:



I doubled the recipe to have a bigger cake but then I forgot the parchment paper. I guess that is the reason why that the sides were quite burned so I should say that it was not that successful. But since hubby like anything that has to do with chocolates, I will bake this again and make necessary adjustments according to our taste buds. Hopefully, Ill have a better cake on my next endeavor.
