From spa treament to afternoon tea, find great ideas for Mother's Day.

Mom's Choice of Makeovers Make-Up or Spa: We love mom just the way she is, but every woman likes to "freshen up."

I wished my Mom is here so I can give her a special treat like maybe one on the 5 lists I posted here. Oh, well I can still send her something and still make her happy.

Anyway, here some great ideas to make your your mother feels great on this "special day".

Happy Mother's Day to Every Mother's Out There!!!

• Make-Up or Spa: Does mom need new make-up or a beauty product rejuvenation? You could make an appointment at the local spa (like last year) or, better yet, pamper her with cool personal care gifts that she can use at home for more than just a day.
• Wardrobe Update: Or, you can kick-off the wardrobe makeover that mom has been hinting about by hiring a personal shopper. Many department stores offer this service, where a shopper can make suggestions as to what works with your mother's style and how to step it up.
• Room Redo: If it's a room in your mother's home that could use a facelift, rally the family and perk up a room with new throw pillows, accessories, even a paint job.
• Treat Mom to Tea

The largest butterfly in the world is the Queen Alexandra’s Birdwing. It lives in the rain forests of New Guinea and has a wingspan of 11 inches. This particular butterfly is an endangered species.

The smallest butterfly in the world is the Western Pygmy Blue, which has a half-inch wingspan.

Butterflies can live in their adult form from a week to a year, depending on their species.

Butterfly wings are colored by scales on the wing; the pigments in these scales create black or brown colors, while blues, greens, reds, and iridescent hues are created by the way light hits differently structured scales.

Butterflies taste with their feet.

There is a butterfly named the Common Mormon butterfly; it is found in India.

Herbs that Halt Headaches

When your head hurts, a pain pill is an easy way to silence the throbbing. But did you know there are herbs that may help, too?

James A. Duke, PhD, author of The Green Pharmacy, offers five options for you to consider.

• Feverfew and ginger: Research suggests that regularly taking feverfew reduces migraine frequency, while ginger may soothe symptoms.
• Willow: The herb contains salicin, an aspirin-like substance. White willow (S. alba) is rather low in this pain-relieving stuff, so if you want more headache relief per cup of tea, look for species that are more potent, like S. daphnoides or S. fragilis. (Find out why aspirin is also a "brain pill.")
• Red pepper: Studies show that its heat-giving ingredient, capsaicin, may help prevent cluster headaches. (Here’s why you should add the food to an egg-white omelet.)
• Thyme: Thyme can be used in a compress to ease achy muscles in the neck, shoulders, and back that contribute to tension headaches. You can also drink thyme tea. (Check out how this herb can healthy-up a salad, too.)

Ask Your Doc
Remember, just like pharmaceutical drugs, herbs can cause side effects or interact with medications. So before running out to the health-food store, clear your plans with your doctor, and ask about the appropriate dose. Take this quick mini assessment to learn about other uses for herbs.

In Need of Compression Connector?

Yup, you read it right! They are all easy to install , plus they have stocks of all connectors that are not easy to find like right angle connections. Check their website now for more products they offer.

Lessons in Life

Attending my grandmother's funeral taught me a lot of lessons in life.

First: I learned that we need to save for our future including money for our funeral and related stuffs. If we failed to do it, our loved one will not only grieve for their lost, but also will suffer stress because of the financial responsibilities we left them such as payment for burial, unpaid debt and so forth.

Second: we need to hold a reunion while our folks are still alive. We do not want to have the reunion done only after they die.

Third: what is done, can never be undone. So, before you say something, think it ten times or you might regret what you've said.

Four: if you want to say something to certain person, say it directly to her/him.

Fifth: gossip, don't pass it on!

These are lessons in life that we sometimes forget or neglect to do. Let us not forget these things, for by so doing...our life's challenges would be very much easier to handle. Don't you agree?

How To Store Baby Clothes and Keepsakes

Keeping your baby’s precious little clothes and blankets in good condition for future generations can be done easily. Imagine the joy or embarrassment your child will feel when you share those first clothes with a future spouse! This step-by-step guide will ensure that the items will be stored safely away.

Here's How:

1. Make sure the garments or blankets are clean by laundering or dry-cleaning each piece.
2. Purchase a storage box that is made of cast polypropylene which is an inert material used for archival storage. Rubbermaid and Sterlite offer boxes of every size in this material. Look for the #5 within the recycling triangle or the letters “PP” to ensure that you have the correct type of box.
3. Purchase archival tissue paper that is both acid and lignin – a chemical compound derived from wood - free.
4. Wash and dry your hands before handling items – no lotion or creams that can stain clothing. If there are any metal buttons, remove them and store separately. The metal can corrode and cause staining.
5. Cover a flat area like a bed or table with a layer of archival tissue. Lay the items out face down on the tissue. Lightly stuff any sleeves, hats or dimensional areas with tissue.
6. Beginning on one side and working around the garment, fold to the center interweaving each fold with a sheet or two of tissue. The tissue will cushion the folds to help prevent creasing. Continue around the garment until it is completely covered with tissue.
7. Place the item in the storage box. Repeat steps with each individual item.
8. Choose a cool, dry space for storage. The ideal spot is an interior space away from exterior walls and plumbing pipes that might burst. Avoid extreme temperatures areas like attics, basements and garages.
9. Inspect the garments at least once per year. Look for any stains that may appear and treat them promptly. Refold garments slightly differently to minimize creases and stress to fabric.

What you need:

• Baby keepsakes
• Polypropylene storage box
• Archival quality tissue paper
