Better Safe Than Sorry

I'm enjoying driving now compared to when I got my licence for the first few months but still I am not confident to drive at night especially when it is raining. My car has been really my best friend and one of my favourite things in it is the cruise control.

Check Your Posture

We are not really aware sometimes that our posture is slouch-y until we are already there. Being busy at work, facing the computer more than 5 days a week, give us little time to check our body posture. So here are some of the tips I found in yahoo lifestyle while searching for life insurance.- Don't just work your chest (apparently often people do chest exercises while ignoring the back)- Include some good back exercises, such as lat pull down...
