How to Maintain that Youthful Glow in Your 30’s by taking in Collagen Supplements

I have been running around like a headless chicken and has been surviving on countless cups of coffee and the little stamina I have left. Since my work is done at the off hours which is around 2AM EST to align with the global teams, after my work finishes off at around 11-12nn, I then proceed with my other hustle which is my online business wherein I am a one man team with some help of our helper here at home especially in the packing of the parcels. This month alone we have already processed around 100+ parcels, and as much as it is good for the business, my physical and emotional health are getting drained as the days go by.

K-drama Review: Love Alarm Season 2 and CooCoo’s Easy to Cook Chicken Pops

I’ve been caught up in another slump as of late, I feel that being in quarantine, these feelings of inadequacy, insecurity and loneliness comes up to me even more and more. I feel that, in a way I am lagging behind everyone that I see on social and that at this point in my life I am somewhat stuck on what my next step would be for my personal growth.

There are a lot of things that I want to do and plan on doing, like taking up another course either in Digital Marketing or in law, enrolling myself in a formal cooking school, getting more active in my business. However, sometimes everything seems so overwhelming that I can’t seem to segregate which task comes in first.

K-drama Review: Love Alarm while creating Ready to Eat Snacks from Jolly Corn

Since weekends are best spent, cozying up on my couch and just binge-watching on various trending movies on Netflix. For this week, one series that popped up in my recommended items to watch is the Netflix Series called Love Alarm.

Since Netflix has been pushing for more authentic content as of late, this Hallyu drama seems to depict not just the usual sappy love triangle that high schoolers face but also the societal standards on beauty, social media and validating our self-worth from the engagements that we get online.

Ortigas Art Gallery 2021 formally Opens in Estancia Mall

Another week is starting once again! Where did all the time go? I just wish that sometimes there was a pause button between Saturday and Sunday so we can just take a break, read more books and enjoy more quality time with our close friends and family members.

That said, just last week I was invited to check out the Ortigas Art Festival which was held at the lower ground floor (East Wing) of the Estancia Mall in Capitol Commons. Since this was a few blocks away from our residence, I decided to swing by after my shift at work ended.

K-drama Review: Birth of a Beauty & A Healthy Milk Tea Discovery from PMS

The past few days just flew by so quickly and in just a few days we are turning again another leaf in our calendars and will be welcoming the 3rd month of the year which is March. The month, where a lot of our family members will be holding their birthdays.

That said, before I veer off from the topic again, let’s first discuss this K-drama that I have been binge-watching for a past few nights now. Since I cannot spend the whole day watching K-drama’s due to my other pressing priorities, I can only allot a couple of hours to binge watch which is around 3-4 hours daily which is more of less around 3-4 episodes since each episode lasts for an hour or more.

Top Tips on Social to help Small Businesses

I have been on the consuming end lately rather than creating more, binge watching on this Kdrama I found on Netflix called Birth of a Beauty, wherein it exposes the bias that we have to those on the plus size of the spectrum, aside from that the series also gives its take on self-love and on empowering yourself to achieve more and going out of your comfort zone to pursue what you really want doing. Like what they say, find your fire and your passion.

Aside from that, I have been playing more mobile games and reading up on this new book I found on Kindle, so I am trying to counter my lazy mindset for the past few days and get back up and start working and being productive once again.

To end this week since it’s a Friday, I have decided to whip up a list of things that small business owners can use and explore when promoting their businesses online since most of us are still stuck at home, the best way to reach your customers and generate more engagement is through the power of using online media platforms. So without further ado, here goes.

Well what do you know, it’s another year and another Valentine’s Day again. Even after the tumultuous year that was 2020, comes in a new year filled with hope and gratitude since we are still alive and breathing despite all the curveballs 2020 hurled towards us.

So far, aside from maintaining my day job, I have also dabbled into online selling, got more active with blogging wherein I have so far been consistent in publishing at least 1-2 articles per week and have also got other side gigs in the form of being a content/ ghost writer and a resource person in a focus group discussion for a glossy but has now fully transitioned to a digital resource for fashion and style tips.

I didn’t really think it would be that filling since the servings came in such small portions but to our surprise, it filled us to the brim even before dessert came.

Saving up on Space? Try these Dining Room Furniture from Our Home

Curating your dining room furniture, can be quite overwhelming especially for those noobs who don’t have any experience in managing a household just like me. Ever since I was born, I used to live with my Mom and Grandmother and they would do all the budgeting, maintenance of the household and changing of all the home decors depending on what season it is of the year.

Ways on How to Achieve Glowing Skin in your 30’s

I have been binge watching Kdrama’s on Netflix as of late, since what else is there to do at home after finishing off your errands and your work right? I’m not really a big fan of working out, blame the laggard in me, so I can’t really resonate with all those workout videos online which seems to work for others.

But hey, to each his own right? So to keep myself in check, I just opt for other healthy alternatives instead, like taking the stairs as much as I can when I have deliveries to pick up in our condo lobby.
