People would take vitamin supplements, exercise, do for colon and body cleanse treatments, all for the sake of keeping themselves healthy. But many of us ignore or simply do not believe that laughter too can be therapeutic. All you have to do is think of something funny and laugh away the anger, sadness and stress. Some call it laughter therapy, some call it laughter yoga.

Here’s a video I came upon on youtube. A bbc broadcast about laughter yoga in London.

I suppose if you are a youtube and also Japan fan, you may have come acrossed ‘magibon’. The girl who doesn’t say a word and only stares at you on her youtube videos and got popular for that. I really don’t know why people love  her for that,  cause it is pretty irritating to watch someone just trying to look cute on video without saying anything.

It wasn’t until I saw a video of her  in Japan being interviewed that I understood why she didn’t say anything. She is a cute girl… if she keeps he mouth shut. But if she opens it….

err… she really does need to get braces for those teeth!

10-20 years ago, teeth braces are considered something that would make one look ugly. (Just like glasses). Somehow, these days, it seems to be rather in fashion with all those colourful braces.

I even saw on an NJ Cosmetic dentist website regarding invisible braces called the invisalign braces. Unlike the traditional type of braces, invisalign is made of clear plastic “aligners” that nearly unnoticeable. It also claimed to align the teeth within a much shorter time than the traditional braces. Not only that you can easily take it off and on when you want to eat and brush your teeth.

So now, thanks to technology, getting your teeth straight doesn’t mean you have to wear ugly, uncomfortable braces.

The weather is getting colder and colder as Autumn creeps in. I don’t mind Autumn but I cringe at the fact that Winter is coming soon. I am hoping that we would be able to go for a break to some warmer place when the cold weather kicks in.

However, although we are not the sort of people who actually love winter, but we wouldn’t mind trying out something different. Like spending some time in Ice hotels. Places where you can find an Ice hotel is Sweden, Norway, Finland, Canada and Romania.

It was only a couple of days ago I’ve watched a programme on how an Ice hotel is actually made. All seems so interesting, from the building of the rooms, to the making of all the artistic ice decoration by famous artists from all over the world.

However one thing I’m curious about is how do people actually sleep there? Check out the beds there. Other than some fleece or animal skin on top of them, you don’t see any mattresses do you? Just looking at the beds made me shiver… brrr….

My mom used to tease me about how big I was when I was born. The doctor who delivered me even dubbed me “giant baby”. But I bet the baby that is the same size as I was would be dwarfed by this huge newborn baby that weighed up to 8.7kg at birth.

He was born in Indonesia and recorded as the country’s biggest baby. However, he still didn’t break the world record. The record holder is still the baby that was born to Anna Bates of Canada in 1879, weighed 10.8 kg.

It amazes me how the mothers could carry babies that heavy in the womb.

Miracle of babies is that, regardless of how big or fat they are, they are still cute. When babies eat a lot we feel that it is fine that they get chubbier and chubbier. Totally the opposite to adults. Being obese isn’t cute, neither it is healthy. If not,products like glucomannan filled dietary supplement for appetite suppressant or other diet products wouldn’t exist now, would it?

I am glad that I am one of the many people who love to shop online. Not only because it is time saving and convenient, you help the environment a little too.

Using data supplied by Buy.com, Internet Superstore, and also according to their previous studies, the Carnegie Mellon University’s Green Design Institute had come up with an interesting finding about  how buying through buy.com can reduce carbon dioxide emission. To summarize the Green Study finding, when people buy things at the conventional retail store, many would drive to the store. Thus resulting in more carbon dioxide emission.

Whereas, buying things through buy.com takes 35 percent less energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. This is due to the rather systematic and streamlined route to buyers’ homes using a energy efficient delivery truck.
