Today I would like to talk about coconut oil .   It's getting to be very popular worldwide. And recently I found it's also very popular in Japan and many people who love natural health care are getting into it. Coconut oil has been one of my favorite natural health foods since a few years ago, however for cooking I mainly use extra virgin olive oil or sesame oil , and we haven't used it much until recently.  But after reading many benefits of extra virgin coconut oil , we started taking it again. Extra virgin ( virgin ) coconut oil has so many great benefits to keep good health and also beauty and anti-aging , so it is used by many people worldwide. I didn't know there are two types of coconut oils which are extra virgin coconut oil ( unrefined ) and refined coconut oil , until recently. I only knew extra virgin coconut oil and had never tried the refined coconut oil. According to the information I've read , extra virgin ( or virgin ) cocon...

2015 Ladies figure skating world championships was on NBC on March 28! As usual, it was fun to see my favorite team of commentators Terry Gannon, Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski! I liked all three's fashion, Johnny's white jacket and hair style, Tara's white dress and make-up, and Terry's black suit. Johnny and Tara's commentary is getting more and more professional and we really enjoyed it. In this season 2014- 2015,  our favorite skater who inspired us alot was Elizaveta TUKTAMYSHEVA ! We always liked her from when we first saw her, and until last season, she was no one. And even after she won a B level competition in early this season, people were not valuing her, and many were saying that she can only win a B level competition and she will never be able to be the top Russian lady. However, they were wrong. As a result, she challenged a total of 13 competitions and won 10 events ( including Grand Prix Finale, European Championship, a...

Throw back Thursday ! Today, I would like to talk about a mysterious artist who I  met when I was around 22 years old. Artists , I was not paying attention about artists around me until around 22 years old. Only thing I remember was about one of my middle school classmate friends whose name was Terue , in the art class, her creations in the art class were something different from many other students including me.   The theme was to draw 3D art and all the classmates had to draw the same scenery that the teacher prepared.   I noticed that Terue's drawing was something different, it was really really well done and she got a big compliment from the teacher. I felt this must be a natural artistic talent which not every person has. But that's all.  I just thought everyone has something they are good at. Then I forgot about it. Time past, then there was a time when I was working  for a restaurant bar in the night time when I was around 22. In that work...

  http://gallery.xemanhdep.com/2008/10/amazing-landscape-photos/ The following is according to the information of an alien called Bashar who is from the Essassani planet , he talks about the future of planet Earth through channeler Daryl Anka .  He says that from 2012 , each person's frequency level is getting more and more separated and in 2015, the difference of the frequency level gets even bigger and bigger.  and from 2033 to 2050 , we may not know or hear about people or things which are on a different frequency level than us,  and in 2100 we will not be able to experience a world which is on a different level of frequency.  We still have a choice to see and experience different frequency levels easily, now.  Whether one chooses positive or negative, one can only experience what one chooses.   One can only experience that which is based on one's vibrational energy level.  It means you will only see and meet p...

My Japanese relatives, aunt Takako and uncle Eimei sent me a gift recently ! There were two items with aunt Takako's hand written message letter in the box, when I opened it.   Hand written letters always make me feel warm.  Since last year, I stopped doing hand writing letters and started using digital writing by computer when I sent messages to my relatives who live in Japan. It looked cold, but it's convenient when I made an error, I can easy to edit it and fix it. But from now on, I want to hand write it by myself again. One of their gifts to me is Miso soup . Very creative and unique.  I've never seen this kind of miso soup. Another one is a special stamp book which is the image of beautiful Mr.Fuji, which is limited quantities. I love both of their gift items but what made me delighted even more may be their sweet consideration to me. Taking an action for choosing the item, imagining what I may like. It's from love, action...

In the valentines day we discovered that a combination of Bordeaux wine & Godiva Chocolate pecan caramel Sundae Dessert truffles make our feeling extremely happy! It's sooooo delicious ! and the wonderful feeling stays long time. Bordeaux white wine ( French ) has been my top favorite wine so far. It's very unique and rich and very well balanced taste, so I've been enjoying drinking it often. My husband also loves this wine but his favorite wine right now is an Italian wine called Bianco. I didn't have habit to drink wine until last year, and I didn't know but now I really understand why French people and Italian people have a habit to drink wine with meals every day. In their descriptions of each wine , it always shows which wine fits with what kind of meal. They know which wine matches with what food.  When we eat a meal with a wine which matches with it, the taste expands, and we can get even more happy delicious feeling. I know...

We are really into classic movies recently ! We haven't seen much new movies since several years ago because of other interests. Also, we noticed that in the more recent movies  there were too many digital types of effects and movements, which I felt were very unnatural. While I appreciate nowadays high technology, I felt there has been a decreasing warmth and decreasing heart felt feeling whenever I watched recent films or listening to digital music songs. After re-watching the famous classic movie " Gone with the wind " , we also watched Vivien Leigh 's other movie  " Waterloo Bridge " last weekend. My review - Waterloo Bridge   I really love this movie ! This was my second time to watch this movie and it was first time for my husband. I first saw this movie a long time ago, before seeing " Gone with the wind " . I don't remember when, but it was more than 30 years ago, my mother and my step-father were watchin...
