I am a woman and I am not scared or embarassed to say that I am naturally vain. I love to look good and if possible, I wanna look young as long as I could. As I look at the hollywood stars, they seem to have the perfect body, the perfect skin, the perfect hair, and I tell myself, that’s because they can afford beauty treatments, botox, personal trainers and personal chefs. And it’s true, they look the way they look because they spend so much money to maintain their appearance but I found several ways to have better skin and hair using the different stuff we have in our kitchen.
- Olive oil – For better looking skin, rub olive oil all over your body and let it stay overnight. It would feel uncomfortable at first but believe me, your skin will absorb some of the oils and would look radiant the next day. Take a shower in the morning after and you will see the difference.
- Sugar - Sugar is good to exfoliate our face. Mix a teaspoon of sugar with a teaspoon of olive oil and rub it all over your face and neck. Wash you face with soap and water, and taaadaaannn!!! beautiful smooth face. I use it once a week but you could do it as many times as you want in a week.
- Egg whites – egg white narrows down the pores in our face, helps treat acne and gives an extra lift in the face. Mix egg white with oatmeal if you have oily skin and let it dry on your face. When it’s completely dry, wash face with soap and water and you will feel the difference right away.
- Coconut milk or Mayonnaise – Coconut oil restores your hair’s lost moisture and gives it enough conditioning to make it smooth. Mayonnaise has egg, oil and vinegar on it that are all proven to rejuvenate dry hair and give it volume. Just rub either of the two in your hair and let it stay for an hour to make sure it is absorbed all the way. Wash hair afterwards with soap and shampoo..
- Lemon Juice – The acidity of the lemon evens out skin tone. So if you have dark spots, you could rub lemon on it before taking a shower. I usually use it in my knees and elbows, as well as my armpits before taking a shower. Don’t do it everyday though since it has a tendency to dry out your skin. You can also mix a little bit of lemon juice with the egg whites and oatmeal to apply in your face and neck. Lemon’s acidity helps clear out acne.
These are a few of my home beauty regimen. It is cost-effective and it works.

This is not a paid post. I am just sharing to all the girls out there that I found the best hair iron ever. I have long straight hair but my hair has some frizz on it and most of the time at home, I have to wear my hair in a ponytail while doing chores. The result, I have wavy and frizzy hair. I solve that problem by ironing it but since I have thick hair, it would take me almost an hour to get it perfectly straight.
I was using the 30 dollar walmart brand iron before. It did the job but it would take me a long time to finish. I don’t have the liberty of having that much tie anymore with a new baby so I decided to get me a new iron. I did my research and was torn between the Chi iron and the Babyliss iron. After extensive reading of costumer reviews, I finally decided on getting the babyliss iron. And I have no regrets, it delivered pretty well. It straightens my hair so fast, it would take me 15 minutes now instead of an hour. It also adds up shine to my hair since it had tourmaline plates.
I am recommending it to all of you girls who wants to have a better iron than the ones you’re using right now. It is worth the price you pay and I’m sure you would love it the way I love mine.

I had so much fun dressing up my girls last halloween. It seems to me like they are my real-life dolls and I enjoyed putting costumes on them. Of course, it was my dream back when I was young to play dress up but I grew up in poverty and the only dress-up I could do is by pacing my dad’s shirt in my head and pretend to be a nun… It’s very simple but I felt so good about it… LOL
This time, my girls get to do the real thing although nothing’s wrong with my dress-up before, theirs look more realistic. I just love the fact that they atleast have a better life than I had and I know most moms out there wouldn’t object when I say that we only want the best for our kids.
Here are their pics…

A lot of people are downsizing these days. Since the economy is going down the tubes, people are finding ways to be able to cope with it by moving to smaller more affordable homes. But moving is not as easy as we all think it is. It requires a lot of hard work and planning. It would be a lot easier if we hire a house removal company to help us with our move.
Having people to help us move our stuff takes a lot of the load from our shoulders and makes moving not so scary. We might have to pay a little extra but we do our research, we could find the best people for the job.
