December is the busiest month of all and everyone knows that, especially us moms. We are the busiest during the Holiday season as we try to make everything perfect as the New Year approaches. We budget our money, our effort, lalong lalo na ang oras natin. There is just so many things we need to accomplish. It can be overwhelming to us, the ones that are expected to make this New Year Celebration happen. And that is why I want to share with you 5 ways to make your life easiest and less hassle (at less pagod) this holiday season.

5 Ways To Make Your Life Easiest This Holiday

Make a systematic gift list

I know you will agree that this is the task that requires the greatest effort this Holiday. With so many people on our wish to share our blessings with, medyo hassle na di ba. As for me, a systematic list works like magic. I create a list depending on the degree of relationship. With this kind of list, wala ka talaga makakalimutan. And then each list was divided based on age and gift category. As much as possible, I shop all I can in one go. You can check our Christmas Gift List here.

Make Online Shopping Your Holiday Partner

And when you are done with your systematic gift list, it is time to shop. With the traffic these days, sino pa ba ang kakampi? Online shopping syempre.

If you’re looking for the perfect gift for your tita or lola, check out Rustan’s Bath and Body collection. Get the best deals on beauty products and make up products at VMV Hypoallergenics. If you run out of meds, pwede ka din mamili online sa Rose Pharmacy (rosepharmacy.com). And all these online store mentioned, you can pay with your mobile number. Just click the Pay with PayMaya button sa check out page of the stores mentioned. Hindi mo na kailangan i memorize ang mga details sa debit/credit card mo because you only need to log in to your PayMaya account by entering your mobile number.

Personally, my favorite online shopping experience is shopping at Landers Superstore using PayMaya. Ang mga panghanda and Ham for Media Noche, I can easily order online through Landers and pay using PayMaya.

After adding to cart my grocery staples and Holiday needs, I just choose Credit/ Debit Card by PayMaya and click PLACE ORDER

I just tap the PAY WITH PAYMAYA button. HIndi ko na kailangan mag input ng mga card details ko na madalas nakakakaba para sa akin. Ako lang ba? Yung kapag nag iinput na ng numbers, medyo kabado dahil baka mamali ng pindot haha.

Nag log in lang ako sa PayMaya account ko using my number, verified the transaction with OTP (One Time Pine) sent to my phone and paid for my purchase. Secured na secured talaga ang online shopping ko with PayMaya. It assures me na ako lang ang pwede maka a access sa account ko.

Shopping online is not just made easier with PayMaya, mas masaya pa because may cashback! Pwede tayo makakuha ng 1%, 10%, or 100% cashback tuwing gagamitin natin ang Pay with PayMaya sa ating online transactions (max. P500 per transaction) sa participating online merchants from December 11, 2019 to January 15, 2020.

Order Food

Order food for unexpected visitors/ sudden party. Don’t take it upon them for not telling you that they are coming without notice. Let’s not dwell on that. Instead make it the most cheerful possible experience for both of you. Rather than stress yourself thinking what to cook for them, just order online. This happened to us not just once, but more than twice already. And thankfully, ordering online for a pizza is super easy! May libre pa if you have Shakey’s card.

Rent a Car

Holiday is also the time that most of us travel or visit our relatives. Transpo can be challenging di ba? Why not just a rent a car through your whole day of visiting relatives or delivering gifts to your loved ones. Drive Manila is a car rental company which also offers self drive cars.

Book a car and pay using PayMaya by downloading Drive Manila mobile app:

Pay your utility bills online

Sa sobrang busy natin, paying bills is a task we tend to forget. Magugulat ka na lang may disconnection notice ka na. Eh paano naman kase, paying your bills takes a lot of effort. Mag ba-bra ka, lalabas at pipila. And with so many things you need to accomplish, hindi mo afford ang pumila. You can’t pay online because it requires a credit card, which you don’t have. Pero alam nyo ba, paying for your bills online is now possible because of PayMaya. You can do it inside the app, no need to get out of the house.

As on-the-go moms, it’s really important to be efficient in all our tasks. I can say that going cashless has made my household tasks more convenient and rewarding, than paying with cash. Kaya, now is truly the best time to have your own PayMaya account.

Basta mommy duties, don’t pay cash. PayMaya!

Minimize Aging Skin Problems With These Simple Tricks

None of us can stop the natural aging process. Not to mention our current lifestyle and living environment that significantly affects our skin to age prematurely. According to skin experts, one may start to see signs of aging skin problems during their 30s. While most of us have an arsenal of anti-aging lotions, serums, and creams to make our skin glow, it is still best to use some natural ways to slow down the aging process and naturally fight fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. Below I have listed some useful tips to fight skin aging.

Include green tea on your diet

Green tea is famous for being a useful alternative for weight loss. However, green tea is also rich in EGCG, an antioxidant that boosts cell turnover and fights skin problems. For example, green tea’s EGCG reduces sebum excretions in the skin, thus slowing the development of skin acne. And some researchers even proves that some beauty products that include green tea extracts in their cosmetic formulations have better moisturizing effects.

Always eat bananas

Bananas are rich in fiber and potassium, and it’s good in fighting digestive problems. But aside from that, it is also rich in powerful phytochemicals that nourish, revitalize as well as smoothen rough and aging skin. Moreover, potassium can also moisturize dehydrated skin, and its vitamin B and C protect your skin against the harmful effects of free radicals, and it boosts the production of collagen. You can even create a facial mask by mixing one mashed banana, one tablespoon of orange juice a teaspoon of thick yogurt. It will gently nourish and exfoliate your skin.

Use olive oil to fight wrinkles

Olive oil is rich in polyunsaturated fats such as omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, which is good for the heart. But when olive oil is applied to the skin, its natural antioxidant properties can prevent premature aging of the skin. It also contains fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, which prevents new wrinkles from appearing and also healing the existing ones. To boosts, its effectiveness, mix one spoon of olive oil to one spoon of lemon juice before applying to your face. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes before rinsing it off you face. Do this at least twice a week to prevent the appearance of skin wrinkles.

Eat avocado to lubricate the skin

Avocado is a superfood that can fight cancer and improve digestion. The fruit includes nearly 20 vitamins and minerals. It is an excellent source of vitamins K, E, C, and B-6, as well as riboflavin, folate, niacin, pantothenic acid, potassium, and magnesium. Avocado also provides beta-carotene, lutein, and omega-3 fatty acids. Thanks to this nutrient-dense fruit, it helps the skin to retain its natural moisture and work as anti-agers.

Eat orange to remove skin impurities

We already know that orange fruit is packed with vitamin C, and our immune system needs it to function correctly. But the antioxidants it contains also help fight aging skin problems. It cleanses your skin from the inside, removes toxins, and helps removes skin impurities. Using a piece of cotton, soak it in a bowl of orange juice and wipe it to your face, and you’ll surely notice skin brightness over a period.
