What makes a woman happy?

by

Happy Thursday my loves….

My sister once received a book titled “how to understand women”. It was a thick book and it was I think given to her by her boss. Now when you open the book, there is really nothing on it. So what does this mean? Nobody can understand what goes into our minds ;p.

Is it really hard to understand women? To be able to make a woman happy, you need to understand her first. Without understanding, you can try and try yet you can’t just do it. From a woman’s point of view, I am attempting to reveal the things that make a woman, like me (yes, I’m not gay…I’m a real woman ;p)  happy.

So brace yourselves as we delve into the inner realms of womanhood and explore the mysteries that put a smile on our lovely faces.

Are you ready? 100 percent sure? There’s no turning back once you get past this line…

Enter the mystical mind and heart of a woman!

  • Romanticism is not a thing of the past for women. No matter what age and status we are in, we love a bit of romance. Simple “i love you’s” do the trick all the time. Perhaps random flowers and spontaneous kiss will make a woman’s day. This is what people don’t understand about women. While women stick to a routine, they love a bit of romantic surprises once in a while. It wouldn’t hurt to drop by a flower shop on your way home right?

  • Remembering special days will make a woman happy. How many times have you forgotten about anniversaries? birthdays? or even the time when she said yes? Dates are not just for women to remember. It is for men to keep in mind as well.

  • Spending quality time with her. Women are attention seekers. Come on now, let’s admit this. We love attention. If you really want to make a woman happy, you should spend time with her. Do something memorable with her. By time, I mean quality time. It is not enough that you are at home and doing what you do. There is a difference with being physically present and emotionally present.

  • Compliment her. Yes, we are compliment hungry creatures :) Even if we’ve gained weight over time, we still want to be complimented as sexy. After all, sexiness is not just the size of the waistline, isn’t it? It is how you compose yourself.

  • Be proud when you are with her. There is nothing else more demeaning than the feeling of someone whom other people can’t be proud of. If you are with friends, make her feel that you are happy she is with you and that you are proud of her.

So here you go my loves…let women feel the love :)

Proverbs 30:18-19
There are three things that amaze me—
no, four things that I don’t understand:
how an eagle glides through the sky,
how a snake slithers on a rock,
how a ship navigates the ocean,
how a man loves a woman.

health watch: Green Juice

by

Happy Wednesday my loves…

I have been quite negligent of my health for the past years and now that I am not getting any younger, I am already starting to be more conscious of what I put inside my body. I still eat lots of junk :p Anyway, I and my sister have been trying this green juice made from different green leafy veggies and one or two fruits. This is a very healthy drink and very yummy too. Trust me, it smells like grass but it tastes awesome.

So what you need are the following:

bunch of spinach

bunch of kale

lemon

2 apples

cucumber

2 stalks of celery

If you have a good juicer, just throw them in and make that beautiful green juice.

I hope you give this a try.  You can also do a smoothie version. Just add a bit of milk and blend them away :)

“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26

LOTD – Teal hue :)

by

Happy Tuesday my loves….

The teal shade never fails to catch my attention. I love how subtle yet captivating this hue is. The colour is in between blue and green.

When I get bored of typing, I make it a habit to change the colour of the fonts every now and then just to give a breath of fresh air to my screen. And most of the time, I change it to teal or olive. And it works all the time. It seems like everything’s fresh and my mind floods with ideas right there and then. I know this is an exaggeration :)

Don’t you just love the hills? Good thing there aren’t a lot of cars passing by; otherwise, it will be quite awkward to pose :p

These pictures were taken by my sister. What an excellent photographer, right?

wow…the sky is complementing my colour of the day :)

to show off the lovely shoes :) a mother’s day gift to me by my sister…

And of course, I like to pose on the brick wall.

Don’t you just love the sexy stilettos? It’s blue with a hint of teal on the sides.

Psalm 118:24 - “This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

Extra special mother’s day…

by

Happy Sunday my loves…and happy mother’s day to all the moms, moms to be, and moms of the moms :)

Today is pretty special. We woke up to a special breaky and had a wonderful lunch and yummy dinner too. I hope it’s mother’s day everyday…

Motherhood is the most undervalued job…it is least appreciated…and under recognised…but if you think about it, it is the hardest job in the world. Pregnancy is 9 months of discomfort and low self esteem. It is 9 months of “no sexy clothes”. Giving birth is worst. It is compared to breaking several bones at one time. You are still alive but one of your feet is already on the grave. The pain is unbearable but it will soon disappear once we get to hold our little angel.

It is time that mothers should be recognized. Who wakes up in the middle of the night to feed the baby? MOM. Who doesn’t sleep when the baby is sick? MOM. Who cooks your food? MOM. Who takes you to the doctor, kiss your wound so you’ll feel better, and panics when you trip over? MOM. Who packs your lunch for school? MOM. Who do you talk to if you have problems? MOM. Mothers do everything not just for their children but for their husbands as well.

My son considers me to be the most beautiful person in the whole wide world. I am plain looking, in fact, I don’t look good :) (practising humility..I’m humble…yes, I’m proud to be humble.. :P ) Anyway, in the eyes of my son, my lips are pouter than Angelina Jolie, my hips are bigger than Kim Kardashian, my waistline is smaller than Miranda Kerr, and my hair is blonder than Paris Hilton. I am just an epitome of beauty in his eyes :) (oh how I love my son) But really, our children looks up to us. For our children, we are the most beautiful.

My mom is the most beautiful person in the whole world too. And in my eyes,  she’ll always be God’s perfect gift.

It’s time to show our appreciation to our mothers. Let’s not wait till it’s too late. What good is our kisses if they can’t feel it anymore? What good is our “I love you’s” if they can’t hear it anymore? If there is a perfect time to show our love and gratitude to our mothers, it is now!

Love you mom <3

Proverbs 31:25-30

Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.” …

Wordless Wednesday – Studded :)

I know this is a late post. I’ve been meaning to post this yesterday but I totally forgot about it. Anyway, this is my wordless wednesday (thursday).

Studs are in right? So here is my version of studded little black dress, shoes, and accessories :)

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Thoughts: Mother’s Day….

by

Happy Monday my loves…..

There’s no other way to understand and truly appreciate mothers than being one yourself. So in line with the upcoming Mother’s Day on the 12th, I’d like to pour out my thoughts on mothers.

Mothers are absorbers of everything. If you think motherhood is all fun, think again. It is a tough job especially when dealing with useless mess. It is unending work. Night and day you have to deal with a lot of things from a grumpy husband to a screaming child and from a limited budget to a messy house. There are just endless things to do and countless things to worry about.

I admire mothers not only because I am one but every mother is admirable. They compromise their own sleep and comfort for their husband and kids. They put their lives at risk for each pregnancy and birth. Who can work full time even in the wee hours of the morning like a mother?

I salute all mothers. I’ve been raised by a great mom and I am determined to be a great one too. My mom thought us to be strong, God fearing, and determined in life. If I could just be half of the mother she is, I know I am doing a good job.

And to celebrate this special day, I’d like to say to the whole world that I am proud of my mom and I love her so much :)

And for you my loves, here are some funny mother cartoons to put a smile on your face :)

Disclaimer: These cartoons are not mine. If you feel like they shouldn’t be here, drop me a mail kikssimplelife@gmail.com and I’ll gladly take them down :)

Finally brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of a good report – if there is any virtue and if there is any praise- think on these things. ~Philippians 4:8

LOTD: Go NUDE…

Happy Sunday my loves….

We were really blessed with the message today at church. It is uplifting and edifying…

After church, we did a little photoshoot…my sister behind the camera :) I think the nude colour is just really great. It can never go wrong. :)

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Psalm 139:23-24

Sunday just got pinkier….

by

Happy Sunday my loves….

It’s a beautiful Sunday here in the land of gold….OZ…

We attended a church service and I was really blessed with the sermon. It tells us how we should walk according to God’s will and not our own will. Our own will can lead to sin and destruction but God’s will always leads to what’s best for us. I am guilty of following my own will at times but I always pray that I don’t fall prey to the enemy’s temptation but actually trust God’s will more.

And here’s a few look of the day LOTD: PINK

Camping….

by

Happy Tuesday my loves….

Last Saturday, the family went camping at 40 mile beach Bush Camp Karratha, WA. It was a spur of the moment camping. We actually planned to go there for the day and head back home at night to rest our tired bodies in the comfort of our own beds but this did not happen. So we opted instead to stay for the night there. It was freezing cold during the night especially early in the morning. All I did was wait for the sun to come up and warm our bodies. Nevertheless, it was a fun filled day. Camping is all about sands, beach, and sun. We did bonfire songs but they were all Christian songs. We also prayed one by one before we called it a day.

The kids were so excited to see the sand. It was low tide so there was a vast space for sand castles and sand volcanoes :)

It was also a perfect spot to write my name on the sand :)

And of course, Scruffy won’t be left alone. He camped with us and was our night watch. Good boy :)

I am in awe of how awesome our GOD is…just look at what he has made – a beautiful sunset to make our day complete.

Looking back at life, I have no regrets. Everything happens for a reason. I walk by faith and not by sight.

Thank you to my dearest sister for my wonderful outfit. Don’t you just love the cut on the shirt?

Working it out with Scruffy.

My lovely sister with my princess niece :)

Yeheyy…wet sand!

Thank you little K for getting a shot of my back!

And the LandCruiser that brought us here…

The campfire that made us warm for a little while. Yeah, not too long because we were not able to collect that much wood. Lesson learned :p

Lazing off the wonderful afternoon..

The kids getting ready for sleep. This is after a round of scary stories.

The bonfire – our light and heater for the night :)

And I’ve added some wonderful words in these pictures :)

Thank YOU Lord for the gift of life, family, and wonderful place to be in :)

Psalms 119:25

I am laid low in the dust, preserve my life according to YOUR word.
