Long before, researchers have found out that light can hold back melatonin, a hormone that helps generate sleep. Nowadays, even after sunset, people are still flooded with lights, whether through texting, internet browsing or watching television. According to Dr. Steven Lockley, of Harvard University and a co-author of “Sleep: A Very Short Introduction, when people expose themselves to light at night it become unnatural for them to do making themselves believe that it’s a daytime. Light makes it harder for a person to catch some sleep and shift the body’s internal clock, or circadian rhythm. However, there is actually one kind of light that is more disturbing than others. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) claims that blue wavelengths, the kind of light emitted by energy-efficient light bulbs and electronic gadgets such as cellphones, computers and TVs should be avoided.   [caption id="attachment_5894" align="aligncenter" width="300"] http://kn...

I have found something unique the last time we went to SM North EDSA. Well, all of us were very familiar with 'body scrubs' but this one is different. Like in any other commercial body scrubs we buy from beauty stores, this is highly recommended by some beauty bloggers. I've stumbled upon reading their reviews about Kustie , reading the texts from the samples that was given us to by the store attendant, it said it smoothly removes dead skin. I tried this afternoon and this special Strawberry Body scrub jam moisturizes and gives strawberry aroma leaving my skin so soft and nourished. I'm going to include to buy this on my next week shopping list.

Despite of my super duper busy schedule at work, I finally have time to attend Orange Magazine TV's second anniversary special , and got a chance to meet the July 2012 cover issue featuring - Bryan Termulo . Held at Moomba in Quezon City, it was a very upclose and rare opportunity to discover Bryan's success in his journey as a music artist. I cannot remember where did I stumbled upon his music, I believe it was when he sang Dadalhin and I didn't know him! Sigh!).  Until I finally saw the music video of Dadalhin aired in ABS-CBN and waited for the video credits, later on, I heard some of his songs being played in radio and watched teleserye MVs online. His debut album was a big hit under the label of BWB Records and Music Productions Inc . Some songs that being used in some teleseryes were Pagdating ng Panahon, Hanggang Ngayon, Bihag and Paano Nangyari . It was in 2010 when he competed for World Championships of Performing Arts (WCOPA ) and won silver medals in rock and or...

[gallery link="file" order="DESC" orderby="title"] Thinking of how you can be a true fashion forward trend setter? First, you must glam up your outfit and choose the right kinds of accessories and clothes not just impulsively wearing it because you saw it on television or in a magazine. I must admit, most of us were also look after of what our celebrities wore in an event but its okay if this is a just a base information, I would rather believe that the final look should be all your own :) Avoid wearing too many pieces of jewerly at the same time. Yes, you can see divas simply putting everything to make a statement but as a general rule of thumb, it should make a memorable piece :) Like wearing a loud outfit making a good sense of style is putting very simple accents as not to fight with the color of the fabric. Also it is important to dress appropriately for each occasion, never wear something awkward unless you're attending an informal event like goi...

So this is where we started. Two cardboards, a pair of scissors, glue, decors and a lot of patience! I am not an 'art-a-holic' person but I enjoyed creating this simple artwork.  At  Scrap 'n Tell Bloggers Workshop , I've learned that you can use these simple materials into a very unique, colorful and useful pen mug. I'm not really good in following instructions. My first attempt was a failure, and I decided to create a new one. While listening on the next project (Scrapbooking Themed-Circus!!!), I kept myself focused on working on my own pen mug. My fingers almost got burned while using glue gun (how clumsy right?)...the handle of the mug wasn't glued properly...thinking of what is happening to me? and why I couldn't make this thing right? *cries..... Trying hard to finish it. The handle continues to fall down :) My blogger friends' mugs...Cute isn't it?
