Celebrating the birth of Christ... Merry Christmas all :)
Christmas is back again and this time tooo soon. What i mean its just like last year we had great fun during Christmas and since then never ending fun and happiness, and like its been one whole joyous year i will never forget. The year had passed to fast which is why i say Christmas has come too soon as it will go soon, too ;)
But what we get from Christmas we can never get throughout the year and that’s what special about Christmas. And am glad it comes every year. The birth of Jesus is celebrated by Christians worldwide and not only do the Christians take part in merry making but non-Christians too. Back home here, i can see people shopping, decorating their homes, baking cakes, and preparing special meals for Christmas even if they do not know the actual meaning, but the spirit in which they celebrate makes a heart smile knowing how special Christmas is.
Though i will not be attending church like i did throughout my childhood (being a Christian/catholic), it doesn't make the spirit any less in my heart. My kids love decorating and feasting and specially waiting for santas gift! I won’t mention how santa brings the gift to my home (even if i know ;)) b’coz i got a kid who reads this blog! Hehe...
Tomorrow i will be going out to spend with family and i’ve lots of work left pending to complete, you maybe knowing what, so see you all... till then... may you all stay blessed and enjoy a happy Christmas. Merry Christmas all of you! :)

A whole new seasonal collection from pier1
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pier 1 Imports. All opinions are 100% mine.
This holiday season calls for a change in home decor because its also an excuse for everyone to redecorate ones home to feel the spirit of the coming occasions like a wedding or blessed Christmas! But for this we might need to spend a little more out of our savings which shouldn't matter much, and i would to mention my must haves would be new beautiful window panels, furniture, home decor accessories, and dinnerware to create the holiday festive season look for my home.
I plan to throw a dinner party this year too like most years, but the same old dinnerware would be boring, so i think a perfect no 1 must have for my table top would be a new snowball dinnerware contrasting with poinsettia glassware.
Christmas stocking filled with scented candles and potpourri would be perfect holiday gifts for family and friends. I will also be happy to save up to 25% on dinnerware, glassware, candles etc... if i purchase from Pier 1, and that's a great bargain. Because i love floral and scents, i think the fragrance collection on pier 1 represents my style best along with the latest season collection, but i wish someone would gift me this beautiful floral decorated morikami jewelry armoire from pier 1! :)
My readers, How about spreading the holiday cheer by supporting toys for tots during Nov and Dec by dropping an unwrapped gift or denoting cash to toys for tots at their register. You can also like pier 1 on facebook, for every new fan they get; Facebook will donate $1 to toys for tots!

SPARTACUS BODYWEIGHT WORKOUTS
Try these 2 bodyweight workouts done SPARTACUS STYLE...There are currently over 7500 men and women doing the my 4 Week Spartacus Workout Program so join the workout revolution and get results...
SPARTACUS BODYWEIGHT WORKOUT #1
SPARTACUS BODYWEIGHT WORKOUT #2
I use my Spartacus Workouts to help with my strength and conditioning for my professional Muay Thai Fight in Thailand. Depending on the intervals the longest these Spartacus workouts take, is just over 30 minutes and they are intense.
The workouts are way better and more effective than heading into the gym for an hour, especially if you want to burn fat, add strength and muscularity.
Because I don’t want to gain more bulk or muscle, I have switched to using bodyweight exercises and circuits for my strength with pull-ups, push ups, squats, lunges and core work as my staples.
You will perform the Spartacus Workout as a circuit, doing one set of each exercise in succession. Each exercise is timed for 45 seconds. You will do as many reps as you can, in that duration (with perfect form), then move on to the next station in the circuit. You’ll get 15 seconds to transition between stations, and then move onto the next exercise.
After you complete all 10 exercises or one circuit in succession you will rest for 1 minute. Then repeat 1 to 2 more times. That is what is called a 45-15 Interval workout (45 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of rest).
