mother arrested for taking 5 year old to tanning booth?

3 May

the perils of tanning booths has been greatly highlighted recently, the biggest problem is addictions that arise from these sort of things..

all harm that we may do to our bodies may be tolerated in moderation.. however.. arresting this woman may be useless… this is a woman that needs a lot of help – looking at the colour should show that she has severe body dis morphia of some sort.. i feel sad for these sort of people…

so this is how the story goes:

A New Jersey woman arrested after police said she brought her 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth said  Wednesday that she was innocent of the charges but admits to excessive tanning herself.

Patricia Krentcil, 44, pleaded not guilty to second-degree child endangerment and said outside court that she is a “wonderful mother.”
Asked whether she admits to excessive tanning, Krentcil said “yes,” but insisted she would never subject her red-haired, fair-skinned daughter to the heat of a tanning bed.

The girl, who authorities said suffered a sunburn from the tanning booth, was allowed to stay in the home but is now being monitored by state child welfare workers.

Krentcil insists her daughter was never exposed to the tanning booth’s UV rays and instead got slightly sunburned while playing outside on a warm day.

The girl’s father told NBC 4 New York that his daughter told classmates at school that she “went tanning with Mommy.” He thinks a teacher overheard, inaccurately connected the girl’s sunburn to the tanning salon trip and contacted police.

best parking spot ever

30 Apr

i’m the sort of person that believes that little things like parking spots and little good things happening are signs that the day’s gonna be a good one…

today.. i got to work a bit early… and found a parking spot that is the best parking spot i have ever have near work – even when i am super duper early!!!! so it excited me greatly and i am convinced its gonna be a good day.. (inshallah)

Moody is already making fun of me! for being so silly! and keeps commenting that anyone I get married to should buy me a parking spot – parking spots are just important to me okay!!!!!

but i don’t want to be bought a parking spot – it doesn’t show me if i will have a good day or not! ;p or it won’t make me super duper excited everytime i get one!!! ;p

so there ya go! ;p

today will be a good day!!! – inshallah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

let’s get hypnotised?

18 Apr

it is not common practice to get hypnotised for a great many things..

and contrary to popular belief – as portrayed in cartoon or so ;p – humans do not become zombie like when hypnotised!! ;p

it has recently become a way to tap into the inner being and deal with issues and concerns that you may need help with..

for example.. many people see hypnotists to stop smoking.. lose weight.. etc…

have u ever been to a hypnotist? and if so.. why?

and if not – would you ever consider it?

 

Ads: Push to Add Drama by TNT

12 Apr

A very creative and interesting ad was done by TNT network in Belgium. What they have done is that they set up a button saying “Push to add Drama” in the middle of a quiet square in Belgium. After a long wait for someone to actually push it, a whole dramatic scene starts happening in front of the crowd! it actually made me smile and cracked up over the girl on the bike, that’s just so random LOL. I very much enjoy this kind of creative advertising :)

One of those Days: Distracted

2 Apr

I have been feeling like this for a while now, distracted, unfocused, bored, sick of routine and it’s getting too into me. It feels like its been awhile since a change happened in my life, but this time not any change would do, it must be a change that I want, or more like I NEED. Everyday I wake up with the same feeling, that I don’t feel like going to work, and when I do, it starts getting more boring from there, same routine, don’t feel like working even if I had stuff to do, and lately I don’t feel like playing round, I don’t wanna blog, I stopped tweeting and instagraming, and everything is going down from there.

Do I know what my problem is? yes you can say that, can I do anything about it? No.

But today I pushed myself a bit harder, I started working, am catching up with my blog and my friends, am facebooking again, and hopefully I can manage this and not fall for it again.

So what have I been missing lately?

 

why are kids so flexible?

27 Mar

it has been a few days that I have wanted to post..

but days just keep getting hectic!!!

i was thinking about my niece the other day…

she’s become so naughty and she doesn’t listen to me anymore – about 18 months but she already seems to have hit the terrible twos…

She calls herself Ofie cause she can’t say her name.. so me and her play a game where we start looking for Offfieee…

and she looks under tables and chairs for herself..

she’s just adorable mashallah.. i just hope she gets a little less naughty and a little more easy to manage!!

i love kids.. but what I am most impressed by is how flexible my niece is!!!! its just not fair!!!!

like do we all have that flexibility and lose it as we grow older??

and why do kids have to be so flexible – shouldn’t it be the other way around?

Any thoughts?

tiger stripes – life’s perspectives

21 Mar

so.. i came across this photo.. and I have to say… its so inspiring!!!

not only to lose weight (what girl doesn’t want that flat belly?) ;p

but inspiring in terms of changing the way you see things..

as somebody who’s been concerned about body image since i was about 16 (10 long years ago) ;p

i have acquired some stretch marks – and i do obsess about how they are ugly..

but.. now.. after seeing this.. they somehow don’t bother me so much..

but it kinda also helps you realise that your perception is sometimes more important than reality..

and the way you carry yourself and the confidence you have in your supposed flaws.. helps shape who you are..

so here’s to changing our perspectives.. a little bit more positively…

 

my lookalike? britney spears? really?

20 Mar

so it was a lovely weekend in kuwait!

but the flight to kuwait started so strangely and got stranger and stranger!

i’m sure most of u don’t know what i look like.. but i have darkish skin.. blackish-brown hair.. and brown eyes..

so keep that in mind when you hear the first part of this story..

so i check in at dubai airport.. go through immigration.. and go straight to costa.. desperately in need of a coffee!!!

so i ask for my coffee… and the lady asks me where am i from.. i ask her where do you think i’m from????

she looks at me and says “i don’t know mam – but you look like britney spears”

i stare at her with a blank face ;p then recover and say while i hold me hair “i think so too”

and she laughs and goes your eyes mam ;p

well.. then 3 other people start trying to convince me i’m not from where i say i am and i have half spanish / half brazilian / half something / half anything!

very entertaining ;p
