Living Room Idea

Most of us spend most of our time in the living room. It's the place where we bond with our family and stay when we invite our relatives or friends over. Like all areas of the house, we make sure that this room is well-maintained and free from clutter. To make this room more inviting, natural and artificial lighting should be given importance as well.

The type of flooring you choose can give this room a sense of beauty and warmth. I prefer laminate flooring because of its durability and style. This type of flooring is always easy to clean and easy to maintain. It also goes well with any type of furniture and style of decorating. It gives the room a good ambiance, warmth and sophistication.

Lighten Dark Spots Effectively

Saying goodbye to dark spots!

Having skin discoloration is one of the skin challenges I've encountered. I found out that it was caused by my previous pregnancy, frequent sun exposure and intake of oral contraceptives.

These dark spots are called Melasma. In my case it's Choalasma or the "mask of pregnancy" . Those dark splotches developed during pregnancy. It lightened few months after I gave birth. But the dark spots returned and become visible since I'm taking oral contraceptives and I'm exposed to the sun.

Thankful I've learned about Pynocare, an anti-melasma oral supplement, this year. As instructed, I took two capsules regularly for 8 weeks. I initially didn't know what to expect, but I felt great with the results!

True, it helped lighten those dark spots! I even felt that my skin becomes lighter and smoother.

If you're also suffering from dark spots or skin discolorations, I highly recommend Pynocare. It's really effective. Now, I have boxes of Pynocare capsules to maintain my radiant skin and even skin tone. It's safe and natural.



If you're suffering from melasma, you can see visible results around 8 weeks. Still, the result depends on the type of skin pigmentation.

The combination of good external skincare and effective internal supplements works best. And of course, always use sunscreen.
About Pynocare

Pynocare 40 Actisome is a natural oral depigmentation solution. It effectively repairs and strengthens the skin from the inside out, visibly reducing the size and intensity of skin pigmentation.

It is a revolutionary treatment that helps lighten dark spots from within. Its MSCC Complex formula targets the hyperactive melanocytes, thus controlling the overproduction of melanin.
How can you get melasma?

While sun exposure is the biggest factor, using cosmetics with phototoxic ingredients and imbalanced hormones due to pregnancy, intake of oral contraceptives and anti-seizure drugs, and genetics can also contribute to skin discolorations.
Tip: Take Pynocare capsule after meals.

Caution: It is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Consult with your doctor.

I agree... with Pynocare, dark spots are lightened from within.

The World of Real Estate

I am partial to real estate even if my career is not built around it. Well, I guess my life is... maybe it's because I grew up in the world of real estate. My parents are into real estate, my grandparents have rental properties, and my relatives have real estate investments. I even remember those times when my siblings and I would accompany my parents during their open houses.

Real estate is part of everyone's lives. We all have to live somewhere, yet owning, buying and renting a home can really be challenging. There are hundreds of significant benefits of owning a home, and investment in real estate is another thing. Just like with other kinds of businesses, property investing is no easy task. If I have all the means, I would consider investing.

There would always be real estate agents around the malls, supermarkets and other places handling out flyers, discussing their projects and looking for prospective clients. Even online, there are lots of property advertisements and websites - from house and lots, townhouses, condominium units, to commercial properties and resorts. Electronic mediums and the Internet help simplify the daunting task of finding a home.

Great places are everywhere. People living in Arizona would always find the homes and scenery in Rio Verde to be impressive. Local community experts for rio verde real estate help people in selling, buying, renting or investing and other home-related things.

Skincare and Shaving Razors For Men

Skincare is not just for ladies, it's for men too!

As women, we also have to be sure that the men in our lives - our husbands, fathers, brothers, cousins, and friends - are taking care of their skin too. Most men are pretty low maintenance. The easiest, simplest yet the most important regimen most men follow is shaving. All they need is to use the perfect razors for men, shaving cream and aftershave lotion to avoid skin irritation and razor burns.

Just like the way we value our skin, skincare for men is also of great importance. We can make them realize the importance of having good and healthy skin; and help them choose the right products for them. It's good that nowadays, men are becoming concerned with their skin's health and look.

The market is loaded with variety of skincare products. It seems that almost every week or every day, a new range of products are being created and introduced by different manufacturers worldwide. Men might not need to buy and fill their cabinets with loads of skincare products, but they need to have the right tools and use the right products for their regimen. They need products specifically formulated for them that suit their skin type and condition.

I always find a clean-shaven face to be more attractive than bearded ones.

My husband's skin care routine is as easy as 1-2-3. Most of the time, he's contented with plain soap and water. He even makes use of a bar of soap as a shaving cream alternative. Creams and lotions are just secondary. But it's good that shaving is part of his routine. Following the basic shaving techniques to remove facial hair is needed to maintain a clean and groomed look. Still, there's more to using a bar of soap, shaving cream and aftershave lotion.

Personal skin care is important to any person - men and women alike. Men have to be the best that they can be no matter what their age is. Better if aside from their basic shaving routing, we can make them follow a daily regimen of cleaning, toning, moisturizing and exfoliating.

Nutrition Month Costume and Activities

As much as possible, I make sure that my kids won't miss any important school activities. After all, it's part of learning. I want them to enjoy their school activities to the fullest.

cabbage and malunggay

For Nutrition Month, my Grade 1 son asked me to prepare a vegetable headdress. Saying, "I want a big cabbage headdress!"

With limited time, my husband made a crown-shaped cardboard base. I drew and cut leaves and pasted it at the back. We bought a cabbage and sitaw (string beans) which we placed on the cardboard base. I just covered it with cling wrap plastic to maintain the fresh look of the cabbage.

I braided sitaw (string beans) to secure the cabbages and complete the look as well.

Glad that my son loved his cabbage headdress!

Wake Me Up When September Ends

"As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends."
- Green Day

Weird. But this song that reminded me that, "hey, it's already September!"

Reminding me that time really flies so fast. Of things coming to an end. Moving on.
Of realizations that hardships, pain and losses, detours that make me more stronger.
Making me remember the best moments... Looking forward to a better life ahead.

The last week of July and the month of August had been too fast. I've set aside this blog, logging into Facebook, and even missed a lot of opportunities to have more time with life.

+ What had been
School activities from Nutrition Month and House System to Buwan ng Wika.
Suspension of classes due to heavy rains and flooding.
Dealing with the loss of a beloved family member.
Getting behind the scenes!
Working out piles of work and issues.
Being here, there and everywhere. :)

I'll be posting few snippets from the past weeks after this post or maybe after this week.

"Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends."


Hope you are all doing great!
