Have you heard or used any Fashion21 products before? I honestly don't have any idea about them not until someone mentioned it to me. I never thought that this brand has been on the market since 1985. Wow! As a self-proclaimed lipstick fanatic, (LOL) I have been searching for a local brand who sells lipstick at an affordable price and with excellent quality since it's the only make-up product I treasure. Haha! Yes, I can't live without lipstick because I was born with not so healthy lips. Even though I don't smoke, I have dark lips. I am not fond of a foundation, eye shadows, eyeliner and other makeup products, but now that I am aware of YouTube tutorials, I am starting to explore other cosmetic products.
Regardless, I would like to introduce to you guys some of the lipstick shades of fashion 21's ALL DAY MATTE LIPSTICK (product Made in Taiwan). I could have done the review much earlier but my daughter and got sick that's why I had to wait for few days so that I could fully recover and finally did my review.
Making a child's bedroom is a totally different ball game to making an adult's bedroom. While you may appreciate a calming decor and sleek furnishings, they’ll appreciate something different. A kid’s bedroom should be warm, welcoming and of course, fun. They won’t be kids for long, and it's your job to make sure they make the most of these years.
So, where to begin? Here is a guide to making a gorgeous bedroom for your kids.
A Unique Centerpiece
What is the centerpiece in a bedroom? The bed, of course!That plain white or brown thing you’ve been considering just won’t do. Why not go for a uniquely designed bed instead? For kids who love buses, or trucks, or planes, how about a bed designed to look like one? Or make a little girl who loves playing princesses really feel like one with a princess bed? Bunk beds are another great option. They add an element of excitement for the kids. However, they also benefit you, because they save on space! For a unique bed, browse online at places like cuckooland.com.
Because Oriental and Persian rugs are typically made of natural materials that require specialized care, we always encourage anyone who owns a handmade carpet to have it professionally cleaned annually at a minimum. Yet, many owners and collectors still want to maintain their rug while it is being displayed at home or in an office environment, so we addressed this issue in our Rug Guide earlier this year by offering a number of ways you can maintain your carpet between cleanings.

Your home should showcase your personality and style. It’s often helpful to look at magazines for inspiration. But you should never choose trends, which don’t suit your individual tastes. If you’re planning a spring/summer makeover, here are some tips to help you put your stamp on your interior designs.
Jot down your ideas
Lightning bolts of inspiration can come to us at any time, and it’s a good idea to keep track of ideas and nuggets of creativity. Write down some ideas in a notebook and then create a mood board of all the accessories, colors and themes you like. Look through magazines and blogs to get suggestions, and make a list of stockists and designers.
Get personal
Personalization is a fantastic way to make your house a home and create unique design touches. Use framed posters and prints or create a statement wall with family photographs. Inject some personality to plain walls with customized wall stickers. Decorate sofas with initialed cushions and cozy blankets and throws.

Why is it things go wrong in the home when we’re just too busy to deal with it? One of the reasons for this is that we tend to put off those maintenance tasks we don’t like very much. We’ve always got something else we have to do! Of course, things eventually break down and we’re left with a huge repair bill. As much as we hate to give up quality time with our families, it is essential we devote some energy and attention to issues around the home.
Plumbing is one of those areas that we hate having to deal with. It’s stinky, dirty, and wet! But blocked drains and guttering can cause so many problems with the house. Damp and mold spores can begin to form. And that revolting aroma that emanates from the sink can’t be ignored forever. Often, all that is required is a cleaning solution flushed through the waste pipes. However, a blocked toilet can cause very serious problems.
If your toilet isn’t flushing through, you will have to stop using it until the system is cleared. You may need to call in the professionals. Having no toilet in the house can be more than a little inconvenient! Drain and Plumbing professionals can often get the blockage cleared, but it may cost you an excess on your insurance policy.

Sleep has been widely recognized as one of the most important aspects of health and well being. Good quality sleep has been shown to increase our alertness, improve our mood, and even keep our metabolism functioning. We are able to respond more quickly and creatively to problems and are less likely to be irritable. Good sleep can have a profound impact on the quality of our life, work, and relationships. Equally, poor quality sleep or a disturbed night’s sleep can affect us very negatively. While a few bad nights here and there are usually normal and easy to correct, we should be vigilant against chronic insomnia. Poor sleep can have a rapid effect on our ability to function. Our appetite can change and our moods can become unstable. We can find it impossible to concentrate and may even become tearful or anxious. Over time, we are far more vulnerable to conditions like depression.

How do you maintain a healthy lifestyle? Do you have any guidelines or proper knowledge on how to keep yourself healthy? Healthcare experts suggest the importance of a well-balanced lifestyle in curbing illnesses. However, a study found another important factor in easing diseases, including those that are triggered by high cholesterol.
Based on the most recent survey conducted by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (FNRI-DOST), one in every ten Filipino adults has high cholesterol, while 21 in every 100 are in borderline high. While it is important to keep proper nutrition and lifestyle in check, a study published in the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America suggested that successful treatment of diseases require consistent intake of medications as indicated by doctors.
“Proper medication adherence is found to be an effective way of managing, if not averting, known diseases,” said Tomas Marcelo Agana III, president of Pharex HealthCorp. “That’s why for people with high cholesterol, we want them to bear in mind that good compliance to medication will keep their cholesterol levels at ease and eventually, improve the quality of their lives.”

If you’ve been feeling sluggish and unmotivated for a while, it might be time to assess your lifestyle. Are there areas you could change? What improvements could you make right now to make a difference?
Assess
Take some time to address the problems. How are you feeling? What are the symptoms? If the symptoms have appeared suddenly or you have any concerns, visit your doctor. He or she will be able to rule out any physical or mental illness. Otherwise, take stock. Write down how you’re feeling and try to figure out the reasons for this. Are you tired? Could this be down to lack of sleep? Are you unmotivated in your whole life or is it just work?

Recently, I shared a post about how this summer is going to be hot and because of that, we need to take extra care of our skin. Continuing with the theme of skincare, today I am talking all about aging and how we can keep our skin looking youthful for longer. We know that aging is inevitable, but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t try to postpone it. After all, the longer our skin is smooth, firm and wrinkle-free, the better.
The good news is that thanks to advancements in skincare and cosmetics, keeping your skin looking young is easier than ever before. From creams and serums to cosmetic treatments, we can hold off the signs of aging for twice as long as we used to be able to. Pretty impressive, right?

We’ve all run into a point in your lives where a little extra cash would be useful. I’m not talking about an object need to get a tremendous amount of money. It’s not all that often that most people find themselves with the need for tens of thousands of dollars, after all! I’m not talking about the amounts that would probably be better satisfied by big loans.
The kind of prices I’m talking about here are the ones that creep up on all of us every now and again. When we’re looking for a treat, we want to buy, or we’re feeling a little surprised by the size of our bills. Sure, we all start to think to ourselves that it would be nice to have a million dollars. That would solve all our worries, right? But when we start to think realistically, we believe in smaller amounts. We start to think about the cash we could have saved here and there. We look around and wonder what we can do to earn just a few more dollars a month. So, again, not a lot. Just something to help us feel a little more comfortable.
Quitting smoking can be tough, but not if you know what to do to make it easier. There are so many methods and techniques that work for different people. What works for one person may not necessarily work for you. Here are some tips and tricks that should make the process much simpler for you:
Find Compelling Reasons To Stop
If you want to quit smoking and quit it for good, you need to find compelling reasons to stop. After all, why else would you stay away from one when you’re craving one? If your reasons aren’t convincing enough, you’re not going to stick to it. Maybe you want to live longer. See your grandchildren grow up. Improve your health. Set good examples for your kids. Save money. Have as many of these reasons as possible. Maybe even write a list that you can look at when you’re feeling like giving up.
Get A Quitting Aid
Quitting aids are very popular, but different aids work for different people. It all depends on what you get on with as an individual. E-cigarettes and flavoured e-liquid are a very popular choice for people these days. If you plan on trying something like that, you just need to make sure you’ve purchased from a reputable supplier. You can also use patches, gum, and other quitting aids to help you kick the habit. E-cigs seem to be the most popular as they simulate smoking, which can help the quitter to feel like they are smoking.
