Would you do it? If it was not an official or business trip, would you leave your kids behind with your other half and go off on a vacation with your friends?

I love traveling but do not have much chance to travel far in my younger days due to financial reason. Now that things are financially more stable for me, I am beginning to get the itchy feet but feel guilty for even considering going off on a vacation without the family. Don’t get me wrong, I love going for holidays with my family. It is the icing on the cake. However, to bring the whole family along, the expenses is high and we are not able to travel far. On the other hand, if I were to travel with friends, the expenses will be for one pax only.

Anyway, at this point of time, I believe I cannot find it in my heart to leave my family for a vacation with friends *sigh*. Have you guys done it before and what’s your take on this?

Anyway, I hope to be able to get back on track soon after this very wonderful break.

Like many other mothers, I share their concern as to what level of impact “beauty” messaging can have on our young children. It is a well known fact that beauty plays a huge role in our society these days to the extent that many young girls have developed low self esteem from hang ups about their looks. As a result, many of these girls fail to reach their full potential later in life. That is why I am a strong supporter of the Dove Self Esteem Fund.

Dove has recently established The Dove Self-Esteem Fund (DSEF) to raise the self-esteem of girls and young women to make them feel more beautiful and confident every day. It is part of the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty, a global effort designed to widen today’s stereotypical view of beauty.  In each country, the DSEF supports a specific charitable organization to help foster self-esteem. Take for example, in the U.S., the Fund supports uniquely ME!, a partnership with Girl Scouts of the USA that helps build self-confidence in girls ages 8 to17 with educational resources and hands-on activities. In the United Kingdom and other countries, the fund supports Body Talk, an educational program about body image and self-esteem in schools.

Check out The Reality Diaries Program, a 6 week program that revolves around the lives of four real girls who share their personal self-esteem stories online. They record their journey online through the use of blogs and videos, allowing girls across the country to go behind-the-scenes on their real lives and understand the factors that impact their self-esteem. Each girl deals with a different self-esteem issue and the Diaries will reflect how the media influences their self-esteem.

There’s a real need for all girls to hear and understand that they carry the power inside to grow up to be strong, beautiful women. You can help by being a part of the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty to help girls feel like champions in every part of their lives.

Many of you know that I am not a good cook. I admit, I am not a creative person and can only come up with a few standard dishes. That was before I discovered Mydish.

I was actually surfing for some simple recipes when I stumbled upon Mydish,  a website that lets you store and share homemade family recipes. I call it the ultimate online cookbook as it is simple to use and lets me search for recipes quite easily. For those who are good cooks, you can add your recipes, organise them in folders, add photographs and even dedicate a recipe to a special person in your life.

As for me, whenever I run out of ideas to cook, I just click on Mydish’s “Recipe Generator” and search for the menu that’s suitable for me. The Pasta Amatricana (pictured above) is one simple dish that I had whipped up by following the recipe on Mydish. Mydish is free to join and that’s one of the reason I’ve recommended the site. Check it out for yourself.
