Growing Up Successful with the Help of ATC Evening Primrose

When we were young we’ve been bombarded with the question “what do you want to be when you grow up?”  And though it practically changed every year as we grew older, one thing’s for sure, we all wanted to be successful. Times has changed, modern women now has control over different aspects of our daily lives. You see women government leaders, CEO’s, and creators. Women pave paths for themselves now, we see women making rules instead of just blindly following rules made for them. 

I still remember that way back in high school that I had a bad case of PMS while taking the college entrance exams. It was really hard to focus and concentrate. Though this is something that we cannot avoid, we can't just simply allow this "girl thing" to stop us from becoming successful and give us unnecessary stress during the important phases of our lives. I know I could have gotten a better mark if I was feeling well that time. 

Now, I have the peace of mind that it won't happen again because of ATC Evening Primrose.

ATC Evening Primrose relieves premenstrual syndrome and breast pain associated with menstrual cycle. It also helps alleviate hot flashes caused by menopause and reduces symptoms of eczema and dermatitis. Each softgel capsule includes 487.5mg Evening Primrose Oil and 12.5mg Vitamin E. Recommended dosage is one softgel per day with warm water after meal. 

There are also researches that says Evening Primrose is used for preventing high blood pressure during pregnancy, asthma nerve damage, endometriosis, obesity, weight loss and hormonal imbalance. (Some of which I am guilty right now!)  

Thus, I would be always be thankful to ATC Evening Primrose because we can all be strong modern day women. Now, nothing will get in the way of doing what we love and we can now do well in it without worrying about "the girl thing" 

This is available in leading supermarkets and drugstores nationwide. Suggested retail price is Php 6.00 per softgel capsule. For more updates and promotions, you may visit their facebook page. 

A Tech Store That Can Make Our Dream Come True

When we moved to Bacolod,Val and I decided to have a simplier life which actually made our plans and goals change. In the next 3-4 years, we are hoping to have the sustainable and organic farm that we have always dreamed about. We were inspired to have this after watching this video from you tube. 

It shows a perfect model for urban sustainable agriculture. It features organically grown food enough to feed their family and actually sell to local consumers, bio diesel technology, claypot irrigation system and solar panels. 

We are hoping to realize this dream and become a model to our communities that change is possible. However, it was a surprise to find out that a tech store can help us actualize this project by providing affordable solar panels and lights. 

I am happy to announce that CDR-King, a one-stop media provider introduces another green technology as it brings solar powered outdoor lights available in the market. With a 6-hour solar charging, it can give hours of light throughout the night.

Rainy Day: What to Wear?

Today is my dad's 67th birthday. We were supposed to go out to celebrate but it was raining really bad due to Typhoon Ineng. The roads are flooded and since we stay at our farm, it's actually very muddy. Despite all of that, I love the rain. I love wearing jackets, sweatshirts and boots to keep me warm. Working in a call center also made me consider jackets, coats and sweatshirts a staple in fashion.

There are actually different kinds of coats/jackets ranging from wool to waterproof depending on your preference but I highly suggest that we choose the ones that can be worn on rainy days and even mild weather. We should never forget to bundle up especially during the BER months since our immune system drops when it's too cold. Being sick is not cool.

Online shopping communities like eBay, Kaymu, and among others have a wide range of cozy items like coats, jackets, hoodies, boots, thermal leggings, and more. You can also trade in or sell your pre-loved items in these online stores either by their web or mobile platforms.

We should keep in mind that even if the weather might not be very good, it's not an excuse to look crappy. So, bring out the fashionista in you and let's start singing in the rain. 

Trendy, Affordable and High Quality Bluetooth Speakers?

Our 5th year anniversary will be in a few weeks and I am looking for a perfect gift for Val. My husband, a former drummer really loves music and I am thinking of getting him portable speakers among the other 5 small things that I will be giving him. One gift for every year of togetherness. 

Little did I know that shopping for one is a bit confusing since there are so much choices. One must consider their preferences in terms of portability, size, connectivity and budget. Not to mention, the different shapes, sizes and brands to choose from. 

Well known brands would be the best option but prices are really expensive. High End Portables such as Bose Soundlink Bluetooth Speaker III. Price is around $300 or Php 12,000. Definitely out of budget?! 

Thus, I am happy to find out that CDR-King, a well known one-stop media provider offers trendy, affordable and high quality bluetooth speakers. 

Bose Soundlink Bluetooth Speaker III.

CYRUS BLUETOOTH SPEAKER (WITH USB AND MICRO SD CARD SLOT) - Php 480.00

So, I still have 2 weeks to decide on what to get for Val. How about you are you planning to get your own bluetooth speakers too? If yes, then drop by at any CDR-King branches nationwide.

Endless Fun Under the Philippine Sun

I love the sun. Going out of the house enjoying the warmth of the sunshine during summer time was one of the things I look forward to when classes close in March. I grew up in a place where the beach was just 15 minutes away from home. So for me, summer meant the sand, the beach, the sun. It was pure bliss not until the ozone layer was destroyed. 

Now, you''ll get scared being soaked in the sun with the probability of getting skin cancer. Sun exposure leads to sun damage not to mention it speeds up the aging process.

One Important Thing You Must Keep Inside Your Bag

Have you ever experienced walking alone in the middle of the business street like in Ayala and then suddenly, the strap of your sandals broke? 

Honestly, I did. I had no extra slippers and no one was with me to buy me a new pair from the nearby convenience store. I had no choice but to walk barefoot and get myself a new one. Dragging my shoes was not a choice. People were staring and indeed it was a very long day for me. 

From that day on, I have learned there is one more important thing you must keep inside your bag -- MISHKA SHOES!

So, go ahead and get your own emergency shoes to save your aching legs and feet from wearing high heels too long. You may check their different styles online through their facebook page.
