PERSONAL NARRATIVES, MOMMY TIPS, AND THRILLING DISCOVERIES TO MAKE DAILY LIFE THE HAPPIEST
I have been married for 17 years. My husband and I had our share of quarrels over the small stuff, finances, and parenting beliefs. We likewise had our moments of happiness over intimacy, laughter, and building our dreams.
I am no expert on love or relationships. I only know what I know through my experiences as we live husband and wife. Armed with these experiences, I would like to share what I consider as essentials in finding a lifetime partner.
Akemi Bedding Review
I am a homemaker and a few of the things I love to invest in our small abode are bedsheets.
I love to dress up our bed with duvets and pillowcases. The types of bedsheets I prefer are soft, slightly cool to the touch, and that hug to my body. I wouldn’t mind adding a few pesos for a wrinkle-resistant fabric; such type would save me time and money in the long run. Ironing a bedsheet can eat up a lot of time and energy resource.
From the sea of linens and sheets available in every department store, one favorite is the Akemi brand. It is a Malaysian brand with a Japanese name meaning “beautiful.”
The Proven Benefits Of A Zero-Gravity Bed
Are you familiar with the zero-gravity position?
The health benefits associated with sleeping in a zero-gravity position are proven by science, which makes purchasing a zero gravity bed that much more alluring. This ideal sleep position refers to a post where we are reclined with our legs positioned slightly higher than our head and our stomach. The concept stems from how astronauts are able to sit in space where there is zero-gravity.
Beds designed specifically to encourage this incredibly beneficial sleep position are able to provide us with a comfortably weightless feeling as we sleep. We listed down below the scientifically proven benefits of a zero-gravity bed. Continue Reading
Turks formally welcomed John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo as its newest endorsers, joining its first brand ambassador Piolo Pascual. The contract signing happened in a hotel in Quezon City with Zenarosa Food Corp. (ZFC) executives, the company behind the leading shawarma brand in the country, leading the contract signing.
Prior to the contract signing, Turks released a video of Cruz roaming around different places and ending up eating a delicious Turks small pita doner. The video became viral in social media, and is the first endorsement appearance of John Lloyd after a long a hiatus from show business.
We often hear this saying. Sadly, though, many are still overwhelmingly reactive rather than proactive when it comes to their health.
It is more comforting to know that various illnesses are easily prevented and managed if identified earlier on. But the fact still remains that many visit the doctor only when they feel something wrong to their body.
A regular check-up with the physician helps assess one’s overall health. It is also an opportune time to identify one’s risk factor for any disease. Likewise, with a regular doctor’s check-up, serious corrective measures may be planned to counter any possible health issues.
Come to think of it – one major reason a country continues to prosper is that its residents support its local brands. They patronize their home products, use it, and proudly share it with the world. Sadly, the situation is different in the Philippines. Majority of people prefer imported goods and even think local brands fall short when it comes to quality. If only we would change this mentality and realize how it would be beneficial to the country, it would definitely be more fun in the Philippines.
Negative Effect of Using the Wrong Pillow
Have you ever experienced waking up tired and restless? I did. So the husband bought me a quilted mattress which is best for my scoliosis. The quilted bed somehow was able to support my neck and back as it contours to my curves, eliminating the back pain. It does give me a more comfortable sleep. Only that I still woke up tired and restless. It must be the pillow.
Yes, the pillow. There are consequences of using the wrong pillow.

This mother admits that her favorite part of the house is her bedroom. It is my sanctuary and I could even spend most of my time there especially if I am not well and I just want peace and quiet.
Just this month, husband gifted me the sweetest present. He told me that he finally has the people and budget to refurbish the small house. We have been staying at our rented place for more than six years already and it needed repair and repainting. I am so excited about the thought of new flooring and cabinets because termites just ate up most of the woods. Then I imagine the bedroom as it should be – instantly cheers us up as well as gets us the right outlook.
Allow me to share with you some of the tricks the husband used to help alter the way we see and feel our bedroom.
Lighting is art. With appropriate lighting, we get to create the proper scene we want to project. For our bedroom, I requested the husband if we could use warm lighting instead. I believe warm lighting feels natural in the evening; thus promotes relaxation. As for the boys’ room, the husband installed cool lighting to help keep the children alert and energetic especially in the morning. The cool light, as he mentioned, will help the boys be energetic for performing tasks.
Walls play a major part in the presentation of the room. It can also be a major mood-shifter. This is because the wall is most likely the first thing one notices as he enters the room. New paint or wallpaper can spell the difference. As for our home renovation, husband prefers a new painting. He approves, though, that I decorate the wall with some decals.
When the husband told me the room color would just be bright white, I asked him if we could put some color accents. He reassured me that the cabinets and door will be of a different color. This is to stay away from monotonous hues and avoid gloomy feel in the room. He also encouraged me to hang up the paintings I did and will be doing as an accent. As for the boys’ room, I am planning to post the little ones’ drawings on the wall to remind the big boys that once, they were little kids, too – creative, imaginative, and playful.
For some who might find changing the wall color as too tedious or not fitting the budget, investing in the right bedding is the most appropriate solution to create mood or drama in the bedroom. The bedding as well is probably the most important aspect in anyone’s bedroom anyway.
The bedding can alter the mood. Complement with proper color hues of the pillow and duvet creates an aesthetical beauty which one can change every now and then. Thus, the husband approves that we do some bedding shopping this weekend to complete the look of our bedroom.
As for the beddings, I find AKEMI to have one of the most comfortable fabrics that are gentle on the skin. It also has a hypoallergenic feature for those with sensitive skin. And such luck because one can get up to 50% savings on home improvement needs by just visiting AKEMI booth at the SM Home Fair at SMX Convention Center, MOA complex. This Home Fair will happen from June 28 to 30, 2019. One can also get a sustainable and chic Eco bag with a minimum single receipt purchase of Php3000. So will I see you at the SMX Convention Center tom?

Be Free As A Butterfly and Make A Stand for Women
Remember the Free as a Butterfly earrings we got from AVON? Well, there is a latest addition to the Free as a Butterfly collection, a special butterfly watch. Still in line with the company for women’s #Stand4Her campaign, the watch raises funds to help female victims of abuse.
My children are Johnson’s babies. Though their pedia recommended a more expensive brand, we always go back to Johnson’s when we do not have the budget. And that’s what I love best about Johnson’s – a bottle doesn’t hurt the pocket that much but still gives the gentlest cleaning power.
