What’s For Dessert, Ranchers?

We’ll be having our Christmas party this weekend..yay! The Ranchers was formed almost a year ago.. with the need to rant and lunch out.. hence the term RANCHERS. It’s great having friends you can see occasionally.. real people you can talk to (and not just PMs or chat), and people who will listen to your rants and what not. And I am so glad to have friends like them!

I’m planning to cook pancit canton, shrimp with garlic and maybe siomai (frozen and I’ll just steam it) and fried rice.. yu know I cook well..but when it comes to dessert.. oh please forgive, my knowledge is limited to leche flan, ube halaya and macaroni salad. I can’t prepare leche flan oreven ube halaya for our party (ayoko magka kulani sa kili kili no!).. and the macaroni salad, we’re preparing for our Noche Buena. So what’s for dessert for our Christmas Party?

I’m thinking Buco Salad, since mahilig naman sa buco ang mga bata and this will be the first time I’ll prepare this. Good thing, Nestle Cream launched it’s Holidays made delightful with NESTLÉ Cream on Nestle Cream Facebook Page. Recipe cards filled with the most mouth-watering creamy desserts and savory dishes are being posted on the page. And yes, Buco Salad was one of the recipes posted!

Sino ba ang hindi matatakam sa recipe card na ito? Na excite tuloy ako gumawa ng Creamy Buco PaSalad! The ingredients are not hard to find ha (buti every morning anjan si Manong Buco) and the procedure is so easy!

So my dear friends, we will have a buco salad on our party.. oh I mean CREAMY BUCO SALAD!

And to you my dear readers, kung feeling mo kulang pa ang listahan ng handa mo this Noche Buena, you may want to visit fr mouth watering recipes, take note ha, hindi lang dessert ang makikita nyo doon.

What Makes You Sad? PMS, Hormonal Imbalance and How To Be Happy

I don’t think it’s fair that women have an excuse, once a month, to act irrationally angry when the rest of us have to keep it together all the time.

– Nick Miller (New Girl Menzies Episode)

Yes Nick, it really is not fair. Experiencing PMS or pre menstrual syndrome, every month is not fair. It’s a roller coaster ride! Most girls who experience PMS will agree that is the hardest day of the month. Feeling overly happy without any reason then suddenly feeling sad without any reason too. It’s harder when depression kicks in or when irritability overpowers you.

In my case, 2 weeks prior to my menstruation, I’d be overly happy, it feels like I’m in a bliss. It’s a nice feeling though I cannot explain why I am that happy. This will be followed by depression and sadness, the irritability comes next. One day before my period, I’d be domesticated. I can’t stop doing household chores, I feel so productive during those times.

My cycle may sound crazy but I already got used to it, every month, it’s like that. But of course having get used to it, does not mean I always welcome PMS with open arms. Though it’s nice to be overly happy, I hope I can skip depression and irritability.

Pre- Menstrual Syndrome or PMS has been linked to Luteal phase, which is a latter phase of a menstrual cycle. This cycle begins with formation of corpus luteum and ends up with pregnancy or degradation of the corpus luteum (comes before the period). During this phase, there is a change in the hormones of a female body. Although no studies proved it, but this may be one of the reasons why there is a mood swing before the period.

If PMS can be linked to hormonal changes, imagine what happens when a woman experiences hormonal imbalance? Hormonal Imbalance happens when we age and the endocrine system looses productivity and hormonal production decreases. When hormonal imbalance kicks in, a series of health issues comes with it, this may include (but not limited to) fatigues, mood problems, skin problems and weight problems.

Aging, we cannot do something about, but Hormonal Imbalance, we can balance it.

The Endocrine System is our hormone system, you can see the illustration above where our hormones came from. As it plays a vital role in our body, we must keep our endocrine system nourished. Macafem, a 100% natural supplement made of a special selection of Lepidium Meyenii, which revitalizes the endocrine system.

Macafem contains high nutritional value consisting of amino acids, complex carbohydrates, and vitamins B1, B2, B12, C, and E. These components nourish the pituitary and other endocrine glands, promoting an optimal functioning of the hormonal system. Find more information about hormonal imbalance and learn how Macafem works . You can also find women’s reviews and testimonials of Macafem on its Facebook Page.

Let’s stay happy and PMS free ladies!

What to Look Out for When Purchasing Your Trailer

Livestock.co.uk is one of the leading brands in the trailer selling market. Their reputation is based on more than 20 years of experience and award winning innovations brought to the industry standards. They collaborate with dealers throughout the UK and provide clients with top quality equipment. The About Us section on their website offers customers more information on how to get into contact and obtain more details.

Budget is the main factor which influences the choice of a certain product. The client has to determine if he can afford to buy a new item, straight out of the factory. Prices for such machinery are increased but they offer you the guarantee that your animals will benefit from both the safety and comfort point of view. Livestock trailers for pig and sheep are produced using stainless steel and high resistance materials which prevent animals from getting hurt. The floors are made of welded aluminum to prevent seepage of any liquids. Anti kicking devices which help prevent the animal from hurting itself or other are also provided. Judging by the number of animals having to be transported, larger or smaller sized trailers can be bought. It is not indicated to ignore or exceed these specifications as this might mean producing damage and hurting the animals.

Another option is the second hand means of transport. Used livestock trailers are likely to be cheaper and more affordable. However, in depth research is required to be sure that the product has been kept in excellent conditions and has been well looked after before deciding to sell it. Always view the object before making up your mind about buying it and paying the amount of money requested by the seller. Sometimes, certain parts might have to be replaced because they have worn out and do not meet the safety regulations. These standards have been set to protect the animals therefore trailers which do not comply are not suitable for everyday usage. Take these factors into account when viewing a second hand trailer because they will help you determine if the deal is worth making or if it just a trick to sell a damaged item for an exaggerated amount of money.
