<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="yiv7699706494MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.95px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There was a time when taking selfies was as basic as capturing one’s close-up image, often to highlight an appearance or a spectacular scenery in the background. While selfie shooters yearned to capture more elements in their frames, they were limited mostly by the technology of the front-facing cameras at that time.</span></div>
<div class="yiv7699706494MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.95px; text-align: justify;">

<div class="yiv7699706494MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.95px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In recent years, advancements in optics technology and software development have given birth to front-facing cameras that offer better resolution and image quality, as well as AI-enhanced photography apps. These, in turn, have transformed selfie shooting, from a mere trend, to a skill, even an artform.</span></div>
<div class="yiv7699706494MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.95px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Today, companies like Vivo, are taking the lead in pioneering technology that enhances the smartphone experience. This includes taking selfie shooting to new and higher levels.</span></div>
<div class="yiv7699706494MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.95px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Just a few months after unveiling its V15 Pro with the world’s first 32MP elevating selfie camera and <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">a</span>n AI triple rear camera, the leading global technology company has already launched V17 Pro, the second flagship smartphone in its V series of midrange smartphones.</span></div>
<div class="yiv7699706494MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.95px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Now, improving from its predecessor, the V17 Pro boasts of another world’s first, an exclusive pair of front cameras—a 32MP main camera with <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: black;">f/2.0 aperture</span> and 8MP 105-degree super-wide-angle camera—which ensures clearer and fuller selfies, in whatever environment.</span></div>
<div class="yiv7699706494MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.95px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Much like the V15’s selfie optics, the V17 Pro’s dual front cameras are tucked behind the smartphone’s notch-less Super AMOLED Ultra FullView™ Display, nestled in a wide pop-up mechanism that elevates as quickly as it retracts.</span></div>
<div class="yiv7699706494MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.95px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">With the premium smartphone’s dual elevating selfie camera, users will never need selfie sticks to capture “groufies” or the splendid panoramic view behind them. All they have to do is access the super-wide-angle camera and “shoot beyond limits”.</span></div>
<div class="yiv7699706494MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.95px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For nighttime selfies, the </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">front camera gets ample support from Selfie Softlight that lights up dark images and an exclusive Super Night Selfie mode which captures and combines multiple frames into one image to make one’s face stand out, especially in low-light conditions.</span></div>
<div class="yiv7699706494MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.95px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Aside from its elevating dual selfie camera and AI powered and enhanced selfie apps, the V17 Pro also boasts of AI quad rear cameras—</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">48MP main camera, 8MP super wide-angle, 2MP bokeh, and 2MP super macro camera—which </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">can capture super macro images from a distance of just 4 cm., and super wide clear images, even in dark surroundings.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">I'm tired of my earphones getting tangled every time I use them. It sometimes distracts me from what I'm watching or listening to. So I decided to buy wireless earphones. The cute ones you see all the time in Instagram. Since there're so many online stores offering the same model of earphones, I didn't buy right away. Instead, I looked around for the most budget-friendly price. There were stores that sold them for Php900 to Php1,500 which, if you're like me whose quite thrifty, would find rather expensive. I also checked Lazada and Shopee because I know that they sell items at affordable prices. I finally found "the one" at Shopee for only Php399. It's such a steal! </span><br />

I have been really busy with work and other stuff that is why I do not seem to have the time to post anything here in my blog. I have to keep this really simple since I have tons of deadlines today. I cannot resist sharing the way my nails look for this week though. You know how much of a sucker I am for nail polishes, nail art and stickers etc. </div>

I hate blackheads because they look unsightly. I don't have any acne but I do have blackheads. I'm not the type who goes to a salon every week or month for that matter. Only when I feel like it which definitely should not be the way to go. What can I say?! I'm quite lazy when it comes to beauty matters. :) If you guys want blackheads-free skin, have a facial every 3 months. But if you're on a budget or don't have much time, there are home remedies you can try to remove blackheads.</div>
<br style="background-color: white; color: #4e004d; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #4e004d; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4e004d; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">1.) Use one tsp. of lemon juice and one tsp. of ground cinnamon as a scrub. Use this daily and see the results after a month.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #4e004d; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4e004d; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">2.) Apply a mixture of lemon juice and two tablespoons of honey.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #4e004d; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4e004d; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">3.) Apply warm honey for about 15 minutes. You can also combine it with sugar to be used as a scrub. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #4e004d; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4e004d; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">4.) Apply fresh mashed tomato on the affected areas daily. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #4e004d; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4e004d; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">5.) Use oil-free moisturizers. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #4e004d; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4e004d; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">6.) Mix some lemon juice, yoghurt, oatmeal, and olive oil. Apply this paste on your blackheads.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #4e004d; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4e004d; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">7.) Combine vinegar and cornstarch and apply on your nose and other affected areas.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #4e004d; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4e004d; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">8.) Take the pulp of grapes and apply it on the nose. Let it dry thoroughly and then rinse your face with warm water.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #4e004d; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4e004d; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">9.) Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. </span>Lourdes Espanolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09176323996116675317noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638605932042861847.post-77464942204246262722019-01-21T19:55:00.002-08:002019-01-21T19:55:41.812-08:00Dazzling Nails via The Fab Nails Online Store<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've been so busy with work and other stuff that I haven't been going to the salon as much as I want to. I've always been kinda obsessed with having nice nails so I put on nail polish and at times go to a salon for nail art. But since my schedule is quite hectic, I instead bought a cute set of artificial nails from <a href="https://thefabnails.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Fab Nails</a> online store. I miss having fancy nails so the nails at the store really caught my attention right away. There're many different designs, styles, and shapes for everyone. Whatever personality you have, there's definitely a design that'll suit you. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's easy to put on the artificial nails, and they're reusable in case it comes off. The fake nails can also be trimmed and painted with nail polish like real nails. There's a detailed instruction at the back of the box so you'll have fab looking nails in minutes. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm a Kdrama fan and have been watching dramas since 2005 (my first one being Lovers in Paris). It doesn't matter if it's a romantic comedy or a drama as long as the story, directing, and acting are good. I've watched so many that I know a lot of Korean actors and actresses and remember the titles of the dramas they've starred in. Although I can mention many titles that I can recommend to those who are asking which shows to watch, there're but a few dramas that have really pulled at my heart strings and lingered in my thoughts for a long time (Misaeng, Dear My Friends, and Secret Love Affair). However, there's this one drama that I've watched three times already and plan to watch again since I can't seem to get enough of it and have a hard time leaving it behind, and that's the recently concluded My Ahjusshi (My Mister). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To give you an idea of what it's all about is this plot synopsis by AsianWiki:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A man (Lee Sun-Kyun) in his 40's withstands the weight of life. A woman (IU) in her 20's goes through difficult experiences, but also withstands the weight of her life. The man and woman get together to help each other.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dong Hoon (Lee Sun Kyun) is married to Yoon-Hee (Lee Ji-Ah). His wife is secretly having an affair with a senior executive at the construction company where he works. Yoon-Hee wants to divorce Dong-Hoon and marry the executive, Joon-Young (Kim Young-Min). Dong Hoon also has two brothers who live with his mother. The oldest brother, Sang-Hoon (Park Ho-San), doesn't have a job and he is separated from his wife. Gi-Hoon (Song Sae-Byeok) is the youngest brother and he wants to become a movie director.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, Ji An (IU) lives in a difficult situation. She supports her grandmother who is unable to move by herself. Ji-An is also in heavy debt and is harassed by loan shark Gwang-Il (Chang Ki-Yong). She works as a temp employee at the same construction company as Dong Hoon. One day, she sees Dong Hoon receive 50 million won ($50,000 USD) of gift certificates. She goes back to the office late at night and takes the gift certificates from Dong-Hoon's desk. She tries to pay off her debts with the gift certificates, but her plan doesn't work out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ji An learns that Joon-Young, the company Vice President, is having an affair with Dong-Hoon's wife. She goes to Joon-Young and offers to make Dong Hoon leave the company if he will pay her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I won't go into details so as not to spoil the viewing pleasure of those who haven't watched it. I just want to say that watching My Ahjusshi was an experience in itself. You'll learn a lot about life such as moving on from a bad past and realizing that such a past does not define who you are. It also tells you to learn to love yourself more and not be too selfless especially when your selflessness becomes a hindrance to your happiness. It also reminds us that eventhough we live in an imperfect world that's inhabited by some not so good people, we should not stop ourselves from loving and trusting those who truly care for us. There're still good people around. Kind people. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My Ahjusshi is a masterpiece. It's just good on all levels - writing, directing, acting, OST etc. It's meant to be watched a couple of times because some dialogue needs to be deciphered to be understood. It's also a drama that you need to watch attentively from the first until the last episode, otherwise you might not fully understand some of the scenes. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have to say that the acting has really blown me away. I know that Lee Sun Kyun is a good actor and I've loved him eversince I saw him in Coffee Prince but his acting here deserves an award. It's so heartfelt and real. His facial expressions and the way he acts with his eyes is amazing. The role of Park Dong Hoon is tailor-made for him. Of course who would forget his beautiful, deep, distinct voice. A lot of Korean actors have beautiful voices but his is the best. I can listen to his voice the whole day. I also like the way he walks and moves. Damn, I love everything about Lee Sun Kyun! Lee Jieun (IU) is a revelation here. She's so good! I didn't see IU but only saw Ji An. She totally became the character. The rest of the cast is also good and if there's an award for the best cast in a drama series, My Ahjusshi should win. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The producers of My Ahjusshi sold this as a healing drama and said that it's not a romantic drama but honestly I think it's the most romantic Kdrama I've ever watched. The relationship of the main leads is quite ambiguous. It's up to the viewer to figure out if the relationship between Dong Hoon and Ji An is on a romantic level or just between senior and junior. The way I see it, they're in love. The director presented everything in a subtle way but the love between a man and a woman, I think, is all there. Some people think otherwise. I have to say that the chemistry between Lee Sun Kyun and Lee Jieun is off the charts. They don't have any kissing scenes or any kind of skinship but still you get all tingly watching them. They just stare and glance at each other and I get excited already. It's really amazing. Plus, their age gap seems to not matter because of that sizzling chemistry. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Find out for yourself what all my raving is about and watch My Ahjusshi (My Mister).</div>

What number would you give when people ask you the somewhat socially-intrusive question, "How old are you?" Conduct a social experiment and act as young or as old as you want to be and see how your family and friends treat you or act around you.<br />
<br />
You might be surprised to hear comments, "you should act your age," "you're already x-number of years old so you should feel a certain way," or "why are you so immature?" This social experiment is actually the opposite of immaturity because you're shattering stereotypes about age and embracing the wise but fun side of you!<br />
<br />
Who says you can't love or be kilig like a love-struck teenager? Who says you can't make adult decisions because you're only a fresh college graduate? Who says you can't lift weights or run a marathon after a certain age? Who says working professionals can't love anime or cosplay? You can do and be anything you want to be when you're young or when you're old. As long as you're not physically or emotionally hurting anyone, even yourself, stick to what makes you happy at any age.<br />
<br />

I ordered an Althea Box as a gift to myself last Christmas. I saw several posts on Instagram and immediately became curious. I've subscribed to other beauty boxes like the BDJ Box and Glamour Box so this was not an entirely new thing for me although it's my first time to try out Korean beauty products. It took a while for the box to arrive (approximately 3 weeks) but I let it pass since I knew that they'll be shipped directly from Korea. I'm used to receiving my online purchases within 2 - 3 days so this was a bit of a torture. All the waiting was worth it though since the box contained lots of items for only Php1,370 (actual price is Php3,250). It's really a steal since there were 3 full size items. This definitely won't be the last time I order from Althea.</div>
<br />
What's in the box?<br />
<br />
Missha The First Treatment Essence Intensive Moist (Full Size)<br />
Rire Pore Tightening Fresh Toner (Full Size)<br />
Missha Super Aqua Refreshing Cleansing Foam (Full Size)<br />
It's Skin Power 10 Formula (13 Options Sample)<br />
Innisfree My Real Squeeze Mask Green Tea (2 pcs.)<br />
Max Clinic Max Change Oil Foam Sample (2 pcs.)<br />
Chica Y Chico Matt Cushion Semi Matt #23<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Living in the
city has always had its perks. From the bustling economy, a wide range of
shopping malls to choose from to the sleepless rendezvous. But once in a while,
you’d be telling yourself that you’d need a breather! With the countless room
for opportunities, the metro has its dark, looming side, air pollution that
is! So how can you escape this
impending health hazard? With plants of course! Plants have this powerful
ability to cleanse our air off the harmful substances, particularly carbon
dioxide. The more plants the better of course!
Apart from cleaning the air that we breathe in , plants also lend a very calming and refreshing ambience. Studies show that indulging your
peepers in anything green is a form of relaxation. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Since we are in
the metro spawned by massive buildings and edifices how can we go about
introducing more greeneries into our homes and environment? </span>The Philippine Horticultural Society Inc or
PHSI is a non-profit organization of
plant lovers whose advocacy is to spread
, once again, the enthusiasm for plants . Some of the organization’s
mission is to promote the preservation and conservation of native plant
species, to promote awareness and appreciation of plant life and to promote
affiliation with international plant communities. With the efforts of the PHSI, the metro will hopefully
breathe fresher air again. It can always begin in our own homes
and communities! In line with this
advocacy, the PHSI will be holding a “grand greenery event ” on February 2018!</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
On
Feb 2-11, a massive greenery festival will showcase our own endemic, and hybrid
plants. Celebrated annually, the Horikultura Filipina 2018 will also showcase several gardening and
horticultural practices in manila. If you are aching to grow out your own
garden in your homes but don’t know how, this is the perfect event for you! As
per the organization, you need not be a plant expert or one with the so called
“green thumb “to cultivate your own garden. You just need to know the basic knows and how’s. This is one of the goals of the
organization, to make gardening and cultivation of plants accessible to
everyone! To keep up the excitement, we’ve heard that they are also going to
showcase some plant species that may cost up to 2 M pesos ( eyes popping!) So set your calendars for one of the
country’s widest greenery festival, the
HORTIKULTURA 2018. </div>

you ever experienced a day wherein nothing seems to go well, that no matter how

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">So
you’ve got your festive outfit set and the fancy gift wrapped for your “monito”
or “monita”. All that’s left undone is a party season-perfect hairstyle. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The
fresh out of the shower look can be seductive yet temporary. Blame it to
tropical climate, it can spoil your appearance, besides making you feel sweaty
and stale. The heat and humidity brought about by extreme weather condition,
likewise, dries out the locks easily and make it more fragile. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Adding
damage to your delicate strands are the chemical contents of various products
on hand. From shampoo to conditioner and hair treatment, down to styling goods
to groom it to your liking, their harsh synthetic materials jeopardize the
natural oil and luster of your mane.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Because
you are what you eat, the fate of your crowning glory is in the plate. Your
diet must have the correct balance of vitamins and minerals to supply hair with
all that it needs to become shiny and strong. So don’t overindulge, especially
this time of the year when gastronomic feasts are spread almost everywhere you
go. Be careful on what you take in, thinking that it’s also what you feed your
‘do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Even
stress can wear off the beauty and health of the tress. And that’s exactly what
you should avoid this Yuletide season. Never put pressure on yourself just to
please everyone. Just take it easy, let your hair down and party all night
long. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

It's important to have short term and long term money goals if you want to save enough money to buy what you want and need and most importantly, have money for the future. You can totally avoid financial uncertainty by doing this. My Belle De Jour Power Planner is so useful in this area because it offers a lot of tips concerning financial matters. Here are but a few:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Evaluate the way you spend your cash (prioritize needs over wants), then come up with resourceful ways to turn spending to saving (go for DIY instead of buying). Set aside a fixed amount (at least 20% of your monthly income) and allocate these resources to important funds or investments that will provide you with financial security. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Think about your priority (is it to buy a house, start a family, invest in stocks, or prepare for your retirement?) and carefully weigh all your options before moving forward. Invest in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other growth investments or talk to a financial adviser to help you find the best match. Take charge and you'll reap the rewards!</div>

It's a fast-paced world we're living in and keeping up with everything that's happening around us can be daunting at times. We're so busy that there're times when we even forget to eat and would just remember that we've skipped a meal when we're already having hunger pangs. Things like this shouldn't happen because it's just wrong to compromise our health over matters that are less important. As they say "health is wealth". We can work and earn as much money as we want only if we're strong and healthy. Besides, we can always cook meals that're both healthy and easy to prepare. </div>

I used to eat pork but stopped because I'd get dizzy even if it's just a small portion. Hindi basta nakasanayan the best na yan, as the saying goes. Nowadays, I only eat veggies, chicken, and seafoods. My go-to food is usually Uni-Pak products. That's why I was so happy when Uni-Pak sent me cans of Uni-Pak Mackerel in Natural Oil (along with a T-shirt and mug). I tell my friends, basta mackerel dapat tatak Uni-Pak. Because of Uni-Pak, I can cook hearty meals in no time. Plus, mackerel is one of the best sources of iron, selenium, calcium, protein, minerals, Omega-3 fatty acids, and Vitamins B and D. It's said to help in fighting dementia, breast, prostate, renal, and colon cancers, and cardiovascular diseases. Mackerel strengthens the immune system and supports the functions of organs that have been weakened by sickness.</div>

I used to be fussy when it comes to my hair because I know that it is our crowning glory. Gorgeous hair is an instant confidence boost. It is what people often notice first about you. So it is only natural that we go to great lengths to have beautiful hair. Some would go to salons weekly just to have their locks treated or pampered. On top of this, we are at times in a dilemma with how our hair would look because the length, cut, and color must complement our features. There is really no need to worry because we can just wear a wig to have different looks. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN">Nowadays, everyone
loves taking pictures of their food, whether it’s fiddling with filters to
enhance images, or using special lenses for professional results - before
actually digging in and enjoying a meal. But according to foodpanda, there are
several even simpler tips to ensure masterful food photos without having to buy
professional gadgets!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN">What is considered to be most important when taking food photos?<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN">It’s pretty
difficult to pinpoint ‘the most important’ aspect to consider when taking
photos of food, because a good photo depends on many factors, from lighting and
technique to having an aesthetic eye, and of course the food itself. However,
one of the most important things to consider is authenticity and to stay true
to your individual style. Once you have your own style, you should stick to it,
as it will serve as an expression of your personality. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ol start="2" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN">Do you need a professional camera to achieve the above or can you
take cool pictures with a smartphone?<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN">You can certainly
achieve all of this with your smartphone! Having a professional camera has
great benefits, but you are definitely not limited with a smartphone. If you
know what factors to consider when taking pictures, you are guaranteed
professional-looking images. You can also always edit pictures with the help of
white balance settings or playing with one of the countless photography apps.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ol start="3" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN">Do ingredients play a role in pictures?<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN">That’s a pretty
good question, because it doesn’t cross most people’s minds, but the contents
of the dish do play a role in photos. There are many dishes that don’t
photograph well, so you need to consider adding fresh ingredients that would
enhance the picture. The next time you order food that is not photogenic,
consider using fresh ingredients with great colours available in your kitchen.
Feel free to arrange them nicely and test the angle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ol start="4" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN">Should you use raw ingredients around the dish in photos. What is
the benefit?<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN">Raw ingredients
make for great extra props, especially with foods that don’t photograph well.
As mentioned, the addition of raw ingredients make the photo look fresh, while
bright colours would make your photos pop. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ol start="5" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN">If a dish looks crowded, will the picture be less appealing?<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN">Yes, simplicity is
key. The plate should be nicely arranged and not in an overwhelming way. To
help you envision what that means, think about how you can keep the outer white
space of the plate clear. I would suggest to just use a small portion of your
meal to take the photo, and then later on enjoy it in its entirety!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ol start="6" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN">What about including hands in the photo? Is that a no-go?<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN">Adding a human
element to your pictures actually makes for a good picture, as it shows viewers
that you are taking the picture from your own point of view and creates a sense
of presence. You could take a picture holding cutlery, or you could simply lay
your hand on the side. Holding ingredients in hand (rosemary, cranberry etc.)
is a great idea. Just test the angles and you’re sure to take a perfect shot!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ol start="7" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN">What are the best angles to use when taking food pictures?<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN">Angles are the
visual language connecting you and your audience, and my two favourite are the
top angle and the front angle. Of course, there a lot of different angles that
work, but these are my personal favorite when taking food pictures. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN">It might seem
obvious, but it needs to be said that you should always keep the plate clean,
especially when shooting close-ups. If there are smudges or imperfections, it
would make the food look unappealing. Another tip would be to set up your
perfect shot before your meal arrives -- food comes last in the composition
process. Lastly, arrangement is a golden rule, as it is the key to a successful
picture. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN">Food photography
ultimately amounts to your interaction with your meal. Specific arrangements,
differing camera angles, the use of natural lighting, and the human element are
just some of the things to consider. This process takes time and postpones the moment
of eventually taking that very first bite of a delicious meal. But the
anticipation makes this experience all the greater, so take out your camera and
enjoy snapping some cool shots using the above tips. Just don’t let that meal
get too cold!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whether it's new or old, every car needs to be cared for. If you're a first-time owner there're certain things that you need to take note of when it comes to maintaining your car. There're simple tasks that you can do yourself like cleaning the car, installing new windshield wipers, and checking tire pressure. But there're tasks that only a mechanic can do such as changing oil and new brakes. You also have to make sure that you've read the owner's manual for you to know the car's features and the schedule for the maintenance. Be attentive to any changes in performance, noises, leaks, and smell. It's better to have the vehicle repaired while the problems are still in its early stages. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having your car regularly washed and waxed will help protect the paint from elements. Another important task is to keep your tires properly inflated because if they're not, they'll wear faster and it's a waste of gas. Always have a tire pressure gauge on hand and check pressure at least once a month. Another must-do is to keep your car's registration certificate and other important documents handy. Better yet, keep them in the car so you won't misplace them. It's likewise practical to join a motor club so you can just call them if your car breaks down or you get a flat tire (but of course you need to learn how to change a flat tire). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's also essential that you have a reliable and highly qualified mechanic. Ask your family and friends for recommendations and once you find one, make sure to form a relationship of confidence and esteem. Furthermore, think hard where you'll have your car repaired, whether it's in a local repair shop or franchised dealership. Although local repair shops are cheaper, franchised dealerships have technicians that specialize in your brand and have parts and tools specifically for your car's model. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Don't be afraid to visit websites like <b><a href="https://www.cars.com/" target="_blank">Cars.com </a></b>for any information concerning a particular car brand and/or model. They have plenty of resources, even videos and reviews that will certainly help a first-time owner and/or those who are shopping for a car. </div>

in 2014, La Lola Group has been consistently giving us several Spanish concepts
to go loco about, and their churros are definitely not an exemption to this.
They played and had fun with the traditional style of serving churros, and
introduced a whole new way of appreciating this epic snack-time rock star. We
all first fell in love with the classic style that they call <b><i>Churros
Clasicos,</i></b> which are perfect when dipped in their rich Signature
Chocolate sauce. But you can also be adventurous with other dip flavors like
Dark Chocolate, Ube, and Matcha. One bite and you’ll know that it’s made from
scratch using only the finest ingredients, and served hot and fresh! La
Lola’s churros are deep fried in 100% olive oil and are sure to satisfy your
sweet tooth!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I bought the 2017 Belle De Jour Power Planner not just because I needed an organizer and I wanted the discount coupons but also because of the numerous articles that come with it. There're lots of advice and tips about financial matters and life in general. I want to share one of the articles because I know it will be useful to many specially those who want to earn some extra money. It's actually about earning during Christmas but it's something that applies all year round, even if it's not the holiday season. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Quick Tips to Earning Easy Money:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The holidays are fast approaching and shopping deals are waiting to be explored. If you're a little strapped for cash for Christmas gifts for the cherished people in your life, why not try your hand in some quick and easy ways to earn more?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1.) Share your skills. Spread the word about your mad Photoshop skills and offer to design holiday greeting cards, letters, and party invitations for family and friends. But if writing is more your speed, then compile all your past works and send them to freelance writing sites, online and print publications, and popular bloggers who need content contributors. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2.) Cook up a storm. Baking and cooking during the holiday season are surefire ways to book paying clients who want to give out edible Christmas gifts. Be sure to check out Youtube hits and Pinterest for sweet and yummy inspiration.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3.) Party on. Event assistant and party host are also other possible souces of extra income you could explore. There's always an event organizer who needs on-the-day event assistants who don't mind waking up extra early for ingress and going to bed late after egress. You could even encourage your friends to join you! The event organizer might even ask you to co-host if you offer to do so. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487178388882_13398" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Life certainly works in mysterious ways! Sources close to Jay Z and Beyonce say that the power couple had given up trying to conceive before Beyonce found out that she was pregnant with twins. A source close to Bey reveals in US Weeky that the couple had been trying for months to conceive, and that Beyonce was growing frustrated over failed IVF attempts. The singer has been very open about her trouble getting pregnant in the past, and even shared with fans that </span><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487178388882_13467" style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="http://www.conceiveeasy.com/get-pregnant/how-to-get-pregnant-quickly-after-miscarriage/" rel="" target="_blank">she suffered a miscarriage</a></span><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487178388882_13548" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> before Blue Ivy was born. The source says that the couple were even looking into surrogates and adoption to help them grow their family.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br clear="none" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /></div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487178388882_13410" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487178388882_13409" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Just when they thought it wasn't going to happen, the source says that the pregnancy, out of the blue, “just stuck”. What a blessing for these two to be able to finally conceive when they were so close to giving up hope. The source also goes on to say that Blue Ivy is thrilled to be a big sister, and that she had been asking for a baby sibling for quite some time. Now she's going to have two! Everyone is so excited for Beyonce and Jay Z, with her Instagram announcement picture skyrocketing it's way to the most liked photo EVER on Instagram! How exciting for these two, and we are so happy that they are finally getting another chance to grow their family! </span></div>
