I have been away from the computer for a while which explains why I have not posted anything in days. I was not out on a retreat nor was I away for a relaxing vacation. As a matter of fact, I was battling with so much stress the past few days that was brought about by my midterm examinations.

Studying law is no joke. One has to deal with the many provisions of the law, the terror teachers and the agonizing hours of reading and studying. If I did not want this as much as I do, I would have given up a long time ago. I could have given up the main cause of my stress. I could have given up the reason for my frequent sickness. I could have given up the source of fatigue.

But there is just something about studying law. It is addicting. There is just something about it that makes me cling to it a bit more.

Now that the week has wrapped up, I am so glad to say that the examinations is finally over. It is time to take my much needed sleep because honestly, I have not had a decent rest for the past week.

Oh well, no one would ever understand such sweet torture.

I have always been a fan of citrus fruits. Taking any kind of citrus fruit seem to perk up my day. Honest. Well, lucky me since these fruits does not only taste really good but they also pose great health benefits.

Citrus fruits include oranges, grapes, limes, lemons, pomelos and tangerine. They are not only good sources of vitamin C but they also contain other essential nutrients. Loading your diet with lots of them need not worry you as they have no fat, sodium nor cholesterol.

A study showed that intake of these fruits may provide protection against cardiovascular diseases. The high pectin content in some types of citrus contributes to soluble fiber consumption, which has been linked to increased cardiovascular health and reduced risk of certain types of cancer. Apart from that, it was also said that citrus fruits can be used as treatment of various illnesses such as to reduce vomiting or diarrhea and for regulating fertility.

And if you are stressed out causing risks to your body's immune function, opting for a healthy food choice such as citrus fruits can actually help build your immune system thus giving you your needed protection.

So enjoy these fruits whether as drinks or eating it as it is for a healthier you.

Every girl’s wardrobe is never complete without jeans. They are fashion staples because of the comfort they provide. Thus, the need to look for a really good pair is one great adventure. So, even amidst the trend, the trick in finding the pair that works for you is to consider your body type and your problem areas.

For easier jeans shopping, here are some tips that may help you score the best pair:

For those who have flat butt like me, we can minimize our flaw and make them look curvier. To achieve that, always look for jeans that have intricate details on its back. These distinct points may be flap pockets, embellishments such as beads and buttons or explicit embroidery. These designs create an illusion that your behind is fuller as the concentration shifts to them. Also, try avoiding stretch jeans since they tend to flatten the butt area.

If you are one of those well endowed with a full rear like Beyonce and you are worried about emphasizing that part body part, then take away the attention from your booty. Unlike those with flat behind, you should stay away from too much design on that area. Find a denim which dons a larger than average back pockets that are strategically sewn closer to the center stream. Finally, choose those that come in dark colors. As we already know, darker shades give a slimming effect to the figure.

Girls whose problem area is their mid-section should avoid low-rise jeans. These kinds tend to cause your bulging bellies to spill over making you look fleshier. Try to get into those mid-rise or high waist jeans as they tuck the tummy in thereby creating a slimmer frame. However, if you insist to ride with the low-rise jeans phenomena, buy those mid-rise or high waist jeans that has a wider waistband. This statement creates a vision similar to low-rise without the unsightly picture.

For those with petite frame, try those skinny jeans that fall behind your ankles. This fashion trick would make your short legs appear longer. Avoid flared pants as they seem to add heft to the bottom part of your legs consequently making you look shorter.

Finally, the best tip is for you to try on every pair before buying it. There is no substitute for testing in order for you to find out what looks great on you.
