The Lighter Side of Things

Despite an almost-sleepless night (read previous entry), I'm still grateful for the little things that I consider as blessings.  Such as...

1.  The fact that I'm slimming down without food deprivation.  Three weeks ago,  I tried on an old blazer and was pleasantly surprised to find out that I was able to close all three buttons without holding my breath.  I paired that blazer with a sheath dress and wore it to a recent interview where I met what my gay friends refer to as potential papas.  Unfortunately,most of these supposedly potential papas wore shiny gold rings on their right hand, so I wasn't able to do any subtle flirting because I knew it would be futile.  I simply smiled at them and made small talk with the other ladies who were also awaiting their turn to be interviewed.  Hahaha. 

2.  Glowing skin and minimized fine lines despite being sleep-deprived.  I have Human Heart Nature to thank for this.  Their products are wonderful to my skin.  I also love that they use local ingredients like passion fruit, moringa and lemongrass in their products and that these products do not contain harmful chemicals like parabens, pthalates and lead. As a chemist and a biochemist, I am very particular about the chemical contents of everything I eat or put on my skin.  Discovering Human Heart Nature products is really something I'm grateful for because their products are safe (I read the labels several times before buying) and that in buying their products, I'm also supporting local farmers and the economy.  Human Heart Nature's website is at http://www.humanheartnature.com/.  I highly recommend their moisturizing night cream, day cream and their yummy lip balms. 

3.  Less stressful job.  I might be sitting in front of a computer for at least nine hours a day, but I don't feel stressed or harrassed.  I actually am more stressed by my travel routine than by my new job.  This doesn't mean, however, that my job is a breeze.  It's actually like an extension of Chem 31, Chem 35 and Biochem 131 - my most dreaded courses in college - and I really have to review some basic concepts. Still, I find this job less stresful and more fun than a lab job. 

4.  Being on cloud nine.  I don't want to elaborate on this.  Hehe. 

5.  Being alive.  Again, no explanations needed.
