A Great Find!

Today we live in an economy where everyone is looking to save money. Like you, I often search the internet looking for steals and deals. I would like to share my latest find with you. I recently learned that you can save a bundle of money shopping for wedding rings on the internet, rather than in jewelry stores. The savings are significant! White gold rings are one of the most popular styles offered in the jewelry industry right now. Gold is a great option because it is the most affordable option offered of all the Precious Metals and it has been used for many years. It is the most commonly used alloy used in jewelry and is sure to remain a classic, timeless choice. Another great option for someone looking for something more modern and contemporary is Titanium rings. Titanium is extremely lightweight, allowing for a really comfortable wear. Titanium is easy for jewelers to work with, resulting in an incredible selection of models and styles to choose from. Before you pay top dollar at a jewelry store, consider checking out your options online, and you can save hundreds of dollars.

Aging? No Problem

Aging could either be a friend or foe. While many good things come as we advance in years like wisdom and authority, the wrinkles and dark spots are also perfect reminders that we are not getting any younger.

Of course we could not stop ourselves from aging. But we can always age beautifully, can’t we? In fact, one of the greatest compliments we would ever get is when someone tells us that we look younger than our age—and I am sure everybody would agree to this!

As we age our skin is more prone to develop dark spots, especially in sensitive areas around the eyes. There are natural remedies to taking very good care of our skin but with harsh heat, dust and lack of sleep as our work could be demanding, we could not stop these dark spots from developing. And yes, dark spots do make us more tired-looking and older. Those dark spots are not only found in the eye area. As we age, we could also find that our skin tone would be uneven, and it’s almost impossible to even out our skin tones. No matter how hard we try those whitening creams advertised on TV, we always end up looking at ourselves at the end of the day frustrated. Thank goodness there’s dark spot removal guaranteeing 100% positive results in 7 days.

Don’t you think it’s worth the try? After all, beauty, wellness and aging beautifully are all worth our investment—because really, aging should not be a problem at all!

Filipino Barong

I wanted hubby to wear a Filipino Barong during my parents' renewal of vows. I know barong can be expensive when you buy them in the department store. I decided to go to Baclaran and buy barong and other wedding attire. I got this barong for less than $10.

Reliable Coffeemaker

Coffee has been a part of our morning routine. It always feels good to wake up with the aroma of the coffee. Coffee comes in different brands and flavors. Hubby likes his coffee black. I prefer mine to have a little bit of sugar and enough creamer.

When we were in the Philippines, I had no choice but to serve my husband with an instant coffee. Our coffee maker was not as efficient as it should be. I wished I brought with me a bunn coffee maker as I know they are very reliable. As for myself, it doesn't matter if the coffee is brewed or instant. A coffee for me is a coffee.

Post Valentine Shopping

Mom Lori brought us to the store for a post-valentine shopping. There were plenty of items like valetine's gifts for wife, candies and other goodies that were on sale for 50% off. I grabbed a couple of chocolates and candies. I also bought some stuff toys. Those items will be great to send to my family in the Philippines.

I always like shopping after a special occasion because items specifically for that occasion will be on sale for 50% off or more. I can always find great buys.

Electric Guitar

Did you know that prs se singlecut electric guitars are one of the best? This type of guitar is made of mahogany back and neck. It also has tone controls with 3-way pickup selector toggle in its volume. It is also enhanced by a wraparound stop tailpiece for direct transfer of string vibration.

I know that having the best electric guitar is a dream come true for guitar lovers. So, if you want a a guitar that produces great resonance, buy the the tried-and-true wood combination of a PRS SE Singlecut Electric Guitar.

This is a very cute 2 pc swimwear which my niece wore when we had our family outing. We went to Bolod Beach Resort and had an overnight outing. With this attire, who can believe that this girl is just 10 years old?

The University of Alabama Difference

The University of Alabama is one of the most prestigious universities here in the state. It has been named as one of the top 50 universities in the US. Just recently the Crimson Tide football team defeated the LSU Tigers 21-0 in the BCS National Championship Game in New Orleans, capturing UA’s 14th national championship. During that event, many wore Alabama apparel in support to the football team. By doing so, it showed solidarity and cooperation among its students and the whole UA community.

I am glad that the university has an online store where I can purchase University of Alabama shirts. Even though I don’t go to school there, I am proud of what the university has achieved and what it has given back to the community. Aside from the shirts, there are also textbooks, other official apparel and gifts. These can be perfect souvenirs for friends who will come over and visit us here. I should have bought some shirts and gifts for my family back in the Philippines, it would have been so nice to see them wearing Alabama apparel.

If given the chance to study again, I would surely choose the University of Alabama for I know it will take me to greater heights.

Yellow Dress


This is what Andrea wore during my parents' Golden wedding anniversary. She looks so adorable in this dress. And she has decided that her favorite color is yellow.

She likes this dress so much that even after the ceremony she wanted to wear this. We were suppose to change into a shirt but Andrea doesn't want to take off this dress.

Brazilian Hair Straightening Treatment

They say our hair is our crowning glory. Whether we are wearing different hairstyles, big hair, straight hair, curly, wavy, skinhead, or any other hairstyle for that matter, it is our crowning glory that makes the difference.

For women, many prefer to have straight hair and most advertisements and commercials, take on straight hair. Some of my friends would really love to have straight hair. I am just lucky that I was born with straight hair and I don’t’ have to spend that much for my crowning glory. Though my friends envy my hair, I would also love to see them sport straight hair just like those they see in magazines and on TV. They are willing to spend just to achieve a nicer and attractive look and be frizz-free. Who would not want to?

It is really easy to get a hair makeover nowadays. There are so many ways to get the hair done like straightening, perming, color, and the like. But perhaps one of the most popular ways is straightening. There is also a new trend in hair treatment, the Brazilian hair straightening treatment . It has been gaining popularity nowadays since the treatment delivers great results. This is the treatment some of my friends need. I’ve seen this online and would recommend it to them. They can visit the KeraStraight salons and book for an appointment; they also have a complete Brazilian hair straightening range. Or they can even purchase the products that will surely leave their hair soft and shiny. I would also try their products soon.

Campaign Signs

Campaigns are always expensive. While watching the news, I was really amazed of the campaign budget. It is amazing how these candidates be able to raise funds that will cover their campaign budget.

I happen to think why would they not look for cheap campaign signs? Perhaps it will be better for them not to spend millions of dollars on their campaign. How will they cover up their expenses if they won't win the race?

Politics to me is such a headache that is why I am not into politics.

Baptismal Dress

We decided to have Andrea's Christening in the Philippines. It was just a small event. We didn't even have a big celebration. It was just a family affair.

She wore this beautiful pink dress which her Aunt Terri gave her. The dress was beautiful and perfect for the occasion.

Original Tan Skin

Well, I would say that I got lucky to have a brown complexion as I do not need a tanning spray for my skin. Being a morena is part of the Filipina women unique features. Some foreign people define it as exotic skin. Morena means is having brown skin complexion.

It's funny though because some American women I know wanted to have a tan skin while Filipina women have been using whitening lotion to have a lighter skin. In fact others are willing to undergone some skin whitening treatment or do bleaching to have white skin. As for me, I am happy with my beautiful skin complexion and so is my husband.
