Herbal Soaps
Feb 20th 2011greenbucksFamily Matters & Health Matters & Home & Me & Philippines & Photos
We opted to use soaps from the (DOH) Department of Health‘s Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care (PITAHC) that have natural ingredients in it.
With a teenage daughter, we have to be careful what we use for acne remedy because facial skin is sensitive.
At first, using the soaps on my face gave me a bit of discomfort because my skin felt itchy. I asked my SIL about it because she was the one who gave me the soaps. She said I have to read the ingredients and sure enough, ingredients just listed the fruit or vegetable extract and vegetable oil. None of those 20+ lettered hard-to-pronounce words. So, yey! Must be those extracts doing what they are supposed to do on the skin.
So far I’ve used papaya, cucumber and carrot soaps for skin moisturizing. I forgot to take photos of these.
My daughter is using calamansi soap for whitening (rolls eyes) while we still have bayabas [guava] (skin protection against bacteria), akapulko (skin defense against fungus) and labanos [radish] (skin whitening and astringent).
We are almost out of soap so we need to order more soon.

I thought our internet connection is pretty fast compared to others but I was wrong because last night it took me almost 4 hours to upload online a 4:02 minutes video.
Where we are, our ISP, SmartBro is the third to the last among 17 other ISPs when compared from the period of August 19, 2008 – February 18, 2011.
I sure hope that later on the speed improves. We need to look at urban clothing photos as reference for a school dance performance and mathematical operations with fractions videos as a refresher lesson.
Ye right.
Netbook Out, Tablet In
Feb 15th 2011greenbucksDigital World & Web Tools
Wasn’t it just last early last year when I wrote I wanted to have a netbook? And now, less than a year later, netbooks’ sales are down because tablets and android phones have overtaken them in terms of style and sales.
Hmmm… having a tablet is sure nice but this can’t be a good tool for a blogger like me. I saw a blogger’s tablet and took notice of little “marks’ on one side where the keyboard should be 🙁
Yeah, some people I know have tablets. Then they purchase the keyboard. Isn’t it much more difficult to hold than using a netbook?
As for me, I need to check on Atrix or the best android mobile phone for me so I can Andronify myself, haha!
