GreenBucks

I came from an intimate bloggers event where the main speaker was a skin care expert. No, she didn’t talk specifically about how to get rid of pimples but about skin and aging of which I am very much so interested, thank you!

I admit, this is something we have to live with when we are older and wiser. The talk about moisturizers, skin care and use of sunscreen was interesting. I met some beauty bloggers too. And no, I don’t fancy myself as one, LOL.

Can’t wait to write my post about this and try the new product myself.

Bangusilog from GoodAh!!!

Hubby and I were looking for a place to have a super late dinner after we had our movie spa date. He suggested we check out the not-so-newly opened GoodAh!!! branch near us.

There was a wall there with old photos of their branches and this got the hubby and me reminiscing about the few times we went to have late dinners there while we were still dating.

When we got our orders, the food smelled and looked the same except of course, the sizes but now smaller. Hubby’s order of longsilog was a bit of a disappointment because what used to be big longganisas (there used to be three or even 4)  are now reduced to a third of the serving they used to serve. My bangus looked like a young one, only cut in half.

It became a place for reminiscing the old times, and that includes thinking about the food servings then.

Oh well…

UPDATE 10:30pm I asked hubby if he still wants to go back there, the answer was “yes”.

Networking does not just mean having a Twitter account or a Facebook page. Networking is a face to face interaction among people.

Being a special education teacher, networking is important with me, not to get new clients but to learn from other people. I don’t think have to print out business flyers to advertise the services I offer because I have an online presence.  Having business cards ready to give to people interested in getting to know me is a big factor.

Networking is not just about these social media sites. Whatever is written in social media sites can be edited. Real-life dealings, though delivered in guarded behavior and measured steps most of the time, can give tell-tale signs on what kind of a person one is.

Networking is about people who will talk positively (and negatively too) about the way others conduct themselves and how they are as people who can be trusted.

No matter how one sugarcoats his/her social media accounts if offline or real-life behavior doesn’t add up, then people would see the real and not the reel person for what he/she truly is.

The heat is on. And yes, aside from the usual rashes when it’s hot, I have a minor breakout on the face with two big zits. Ugh. Someone suggested I use acnepril. I have been drinking lots of water these days and steering clear away from soda. Yeah, I know, it IS hard.

Skin care during summer means doing the following:

• Use water-based moisturizer to help nourish the skin.
• Use sunscreen.
• Put on lip balm to avoid drying of the lips
• Use clothes that will minimize exposure to the sun
• Avoid being outdoors between 10am and 3pm
• Avoid clothes that irritate your skin. Instead wear something light.

Misting yourself with a spray bottle is also a good idea. Taking good care of your skin is not only for vanity’s sake but for your protection and health too.

Have a happy summer!
