http://shine.yahoo.com/moments-of-motherhood/parenting-guru-messy-kids-are-happy-kids-2611748.html

     i want 5 kids in the future. everybody are surprised when they heard it, but seriously, i really want a big family with white american guy. this is my dream in my life. no. this is my future.
     in this article, one mother talked about her children. when one of her child was a young, and other child was just 6 months, they surprised her. when the mother went to ladies room, children were playing with toys. after she came back, she discover two kids with Vaseline from head to toe - in the hair, all over the clothes, and yes, in between the toes. The two year old decided putting Vaseline all over them both was a fun game. This was a major mess for me to clean up. But both girls were giggling and having a blast. Case in point: "messy kids are happy kids." Another of my kids once used a mess to inspire me
    i knew it is hard bring up own children, but it is also very happy time with our kids. our kids make us happy and smile i think.

http://shine.yahoo.com/fashion/12-stunning-party-dresses-under-30-173200962.html

      in this article, 12 stunning party dresses were introduced. all of dresses are under $30. according to the article, this is a holiday season , and its time to start shopping for dresses that will get we through all the parties. But, there's no need to spend big bucks on something we're likely to wear only once or twice. So, whether you're shopping for something to wear to a friend's cocktail party, an office event, dinner with the family, or out on the tow on New Year's Eve!

      these 3 type of dresses  are introduced.

 Retro and Demure
 For family dinners or office events. opt for a sweet retro-inspired dress that offers a bit of coverage. These four dresses, all from Forever 21
 Slinky and Sassy
 If you're shopping for New Year's Eve festivities, a holiday party at a friend's house, or a night on the town with your sweetie, you can afford to show a little skin. But, who wants to spend a lot of money on a dress you'll probably wear only once. Charlotte Russe and Forever 21 are great places to pick up a bargain-priced going-out dress.
 Fun and Flirty
 For a look somewhere in-between the demure and sassy dresses above, we love these four frocks from Forever 21. The bright colors and sparking details make them perfect for festive seasonal affairs and the prices make them perfect for our pocketbooks! Not one of these dresses is more than $30!

      before i red this article, i wanted to get dress for party, and i thought all of dresses are expensive, so i thought i cant get it, but after i red it, i decided to get a dress. coz if i can get stunning dress such a cheaper price, i definitely would get one! also luckily these dresses are from my favorite store forever 21! i should go shopping soon! in japan, we have not so often the party, so i think we (study abroad students) should get dresses and try to learn the american culture now! let us try together!!

10 ways to wake up beautiful

      In this article, there are 10 ways to wake up beautiful.these are very interesting for me:)
1, get an early start :)
make habit of washing your face a few hours before bed. If you wait until you're tired, you're more likely to below it off.
2, sleep on your back :)
lying on your stomach is bad for "beauty sleep." a lot of pressure to be putting on your face every night.
3, get a lift :)
sleep with  your head elevated on two pillows, or put the headrest area of your bed on 2-to 4-inch pieces of wood.gravity helps lymph and blood flow so fluid won't accumulate.
4, save money, not wrinkles :)
At night you don't need to worry about eye treatments smearing your makeup, so slather on the richest formula you can. "It conditions lashes and hydrates the delicate eye skin really well."
5, sneak a glow :)
6, avoid carb face :)
7, wrap it up :)
8, find your inner ballerina :)
9, turn on the hair conditioning :)
10, pop a rooster pill :)

i didn't know about these information. Of cause every women want to be beautiful. I know you are already beautiful. haha  if you want to get more beauty, please try them! and please tell me which is most effective one! lol i want to be more beautiful---!

How to deal with nuisance neighbors

http://shine.yahoo.com/at-home/deal-nuisance-neighbors-151900996.html  

  There are many kind of annoying joneses. In this article, eight kind of No-fail strategies for handling were introduced.
     For example, Inconsiderate Behavior The Careless Dog Owner. The consult neighbor has a dog. the dog prowl freely and dig up in your lawn, howl at the moon, and sift through your trash. And answer is skip the blame game. " your neighbor will probably feel embarrassed and defensive, so be honest, let her know this is uncomfortable for you to bring up, too." "focus on the animal's behavior- not the owner's.
    I think its a good answer. because if we think like them, we wouldn't think its annoying. Actually I had a experience, at that time, my family and I were almost became crazy. the neighbor's dog were always barking. From early morning, to late night. It was so annoying for us, and we thought we should tell to neighbor about that. however we told them, they didn't change anything, and we hated them. when i read this article, i thought we should have think like this answer. Next time, i will try it!

5 ways to help your pet live longer

 http://shine.yahoo.com/pets/5-ways-to-help-your-pet-live-longer.html

its talks about giving and wanting our pets a long and healthy life. ways to keep our pets healthy include, keepng them in doors, watching their weight, not skipping appointments and neutering our pets.

i disagree about neutering. because they should live with freedom. i have a dog in japan. he is like a my brother. when i cried, he was always there. i dont wanna hurt him. he will get babies soon. we are so happy.  in my neighborhood, there is a dog which was neutered. he looks like a female. its so sad. so i think its not good idea. if you love your pets, you should enjoy your life with them as long as you can.

This articl is about difference between spanking and abuse.
In this news, there are three mother who admit to spanking their children. One of mom tells that here is big difference between how she disciplines her daughters and the YouTube video of the Texas judge beating his 15-year-old daughter.
All three moms spank to discipline. They says "it was okay for us to hit our doughtier, but it's not okay for our husband to hit them. Or do you expect them to grow up and think, sometimes I deserve it...sometimes I should be hit, sometimes I behaved wrong?
Do you agree with them?
I agree.
When you were child, did your parents spank you? My parents did it all the time when I did bad things or rude things. Before they spanked too much, so when they raised hands, I always Guarded. After that, they noticed how feel I am, and they stoped it. Now I gratitude them. Because I listen them every time which Was rode. And I could know the common sence.
