Marc Anthony My Baby You

I so love this song... hubby dedicated this song to me and each time we listen to it, he will tell the boys... this song is for Mama (change the name Arianna though).

We thought that if we have a baby girl, we'll name her Arianna (not that hopeful actually) but we have another boy... had wanted to name him Aryan but decided with Aaron Ashfiq.

Anyway.... enjoy this video.

ooppss... there's another one too... from Blue - Best in Me. will upload

How to choose kiwis & store mangoes

The fuzzy kiwi hides a scintillating green interior. Kiwi's sweet, refreshing taste is a treat any time of year.

 

Steps

1

Step One

Choose kiwis that smell good and feel plump.

2

Step Two

Avoid kiwis with bruised skin or moist areas.

3

Step Three

Press gently to make sure kiwi yields under your finger like a ripe pear.

Tips & Warnings

• Kiwis contain an enzyme called actinidin that serves as a meat tenderizer. Use kiwi fruit as a marinade for meats or rub kiwi flesh over meat before cooking.
• To ripen a kiwi, put it in a paper bag at room temperature, preferably with a banana, apple, or pear. These fruits produce ethylene gas, which accelerates ripening.
• Store ripe kiwis in the refrigerator.
• To deactivate the actinidin enzyme, kiwis should be cooked for a brief period before being placed in gelatin or dairy products.

STORE MANGOES
Known as a brightly colored, tasty treat, these tropical fruits are also just moderately high in calories - and a great source of potassium and vitamins A and C.

Steps

1

Step One

Put two mangoes together in a plastic or paper bag to allow them to ripen. One mango by itself will ripen more slowly.

2

Step Two

Keep in a cool place, such as a cupboard.

3

Step Three

Move mangoes to refrigerator when ripe - that is, when mangoes yield slightly to pressure.

4

Step Four

Store no more than two to three days to prevent overripening.

How to Communicate With a Significant Other

Communication can resolve many relationship troubles. Being a good communicator requires a nice balance of listening and knowing how to express your feelings. Here are few things you can do.

Instructions

Steps

1

Step One

Be in the moment. If your significant other wants to talk, then talk. Stop whatever you are doing, or schedule a time when you can both focus on the conversation.

2

Step Two

Be sincere with your words and intent. Speak honestly. Be affirmative and supportive. Respond without being critical of what your significant other has said. Be patient, kind, considerate and speak well of each other. Nothing hinders intimate communication more than harsh words. But don't lie to cover inconvenient truths.

3

Step Three

Separate yourselves from the situation. Don't take things personally. Listen without interrupting. Let your significant other know that you understand what they have said.

4

Step Four

Avoid jumping to conclusions. Ask questions when you don't understand something. Don't immediately fall into a defensive posture.

5

Step Five

Do your best. Communication is an important part of a healthy relationship. Be honest and realize that slight miscommunications are acceptable. Remember that you are on the same team.

Tips & Warnings

• Stay calm. Anxiety and fear can affect our body language and tone while introducing tension into an already uncomfortable situation.
• Avoid a defensive posture. A feeling of defensiveness can lead to a preemptive strike of cutting remarks and wounding insults.

How to do little things to keep that spark alive

Sometimes it just takes a little something to spark your own creativity, here's a guide of simple things you can do to ignite that passion. You too can share your good love story with us...

Things You'll Need

• Passion
• A little bit of time
• A little bit of playfulness
• A little bit of money

Step One

post it note love!

A NOTE A DAY

Buy a pad of sticky notes.Write a couple and keep them on hand and as your better half leaves for the office, slip one in his/her briefcase, shirt pocket or purse.

What to write on the notes? how about:

I can't wait to see you tonight!
I will be thinking about you all day!
As you read this note, I will be preparing myself for you!

The simplest of notes will work wonders and start getting your significant other thinking and daydreaming about you.

Step Two

 

PETALS...LOTS OF PETALS!

Petals make any woman, (even a man for that matter) go nuts.
Rose petals have forever been a symbol of love and passion, and they ooze a scent that tantalizes your senses.
So if something so simple is so romantic, why not use it?

How?
Here are just a few ways you can use petals...
by the way, florists will sell you bags of them or art supplies stores have a silk version- just as sexy, and reusable! The scent? not a problem -just get a rose spray and spritz it on.

* On top of ceiling fans and turn the fan on as they walk in (on low)

* Bring some to a restaurant and put them on the table

* Inside an envelope with a card or letter

* Floating in a bowl of water - with or without floating candles

* Placed in the book your sweetheart is reading

* Surrounding your mate with petals while he or she is sleeping

* In a crock pot with a little water for a beautiful smell as they walk in, the perfect preamble for a romantic??? 

Step Three

candles add a romantic touch

CANDLES

When matched up with step 2 (rose petals) you are in for the romantic ride of your life!
There is just something about a candle lit room that sets the atmosphere for romance...so go ahead set a beautiful table, two placemats, matching napkins and all, and bring dinner. But watch the mood lighten, the smile comes, and the night evolves into something special, all it takes is a little something!

Now for those who really want to bring on the romance...try a buying gourmet food from his/her favorite restaurant, or even cooking it yourself, there is no better way to say I love you, that with food.

Tip: get them what they like, in the colors they like...tonight is all about pleasing them, not you!

Step Four

A MASSAGE: 

Start out with a full bosy massage, but not the 5 minute (then you are all over them kind) this is the kind that will make them want you, but you grab their arms and keep on massaging, it's all about hightening senses.
Do you dare? Get a simple Body oil (Neutrogena has one that is a light sesame formula, it smells great and warms the body and hands). best of all you can get it anywhere.

By the way, remember the sticky note?
write one in the morning, saying:

Present this tonight at dinner and recieve a full body massage and...!
You will have them drooling all day.
