The Promise of Youthful Skin On My 30th Birthday

written February 1, 10 PM

My day has been so good so far.. woke up at the right side of the bed. I actually only had 3 or 4 hours of sleep. Yes, I spent the first few hours of my birthday working. And I don’t complain, I always welcome opportunities that knock on my door, er, my email. I cooked spaghetti and chicken burger for lunch.

I just discovered that Timeline on FB is soon to be implemented, and knowing I have no choice but to change my profile, I just clicked publish and there. It was fun putting my chicken burger as my cover photo!

So aside from the changes in FB profile, my birthday today is a milestone.. oh gawd I just turned 30! I am sad and excited but I am not just over 20s! 29 is a howl lot different to saying, hey! I am 30! argh!

Setting aside my rants, I just realized this is the best time to invest on anti aging products or any products that will help me look I’m still on my twenties, even ten years from now. And then I remember this billboard I saw in C5:

I consider Gretchen Barreto as one of the most beautiful face in local showbiz and I admit that her billboards always get a second look from me.. but this one is different. I almost asked my husband to stopped when we pass by this billboard. Are those cleaners for real? then I realized it mus be part of the billboard and seeing it closely, yeah it is! (I have a zoom lens OK)

ERASE AGE MARKS..

just like how the cleaners do it on the billboard..

That’s a very interesting ad.. kudos to the brains behind it, now you got my attention.

So what any curious cat would do? of course as soon as I got home, I Googled the product and here’s what I have learned so far:

IVI is a Premium Collagen Drink, which contains high grade premium collagen made to transform skin back to its youthful grow. IVI premium collagen drink has Marine Collagen Peptide that moisturizes and plumps human skin cells. It has Salmon Ovary Peptide that detoxifies the skin. It also has Hyaluronic Acid which helps with tissue healing and repair. The Coenzyme on it increases oxygen utilization in our body.

I am itching to try out this product but I learned that if you are breastfeeding you have to consult your doctor first before taking it (so yes, I am scheduled to visit my OB anytime soon!)

Baby Monitors Reviewed

The article/ review below is a guest post:

Before any family can officially welcome their little bundle of joy into this world they have to make a number of preparations to ensure that they provide a safe and comfortable environment for their baby. Most parents will go ahead and purchase the fancy furniture and equipment for their precious little bundle of joy. Although there are a number of essential items that parents need for their child, a baby monitor is one of the most important items.

Baby monitors are a device that allow you to monitor the activities of your baby while you are working on other tasks in the home. There are a number of styles of baby monitors on the market; below is my review of the different styles available, with pros and cons listed.

Audio Monitors – An audio monitor will allow you to hear your baby the instant they start to cry or whenever they are waking up. They typically come with a receiver and a transmitter.
Advantages:
o They are inexpensive
o They allow you to listen to your child’s activities
Drawbacks: They do not allow you to see what is happening in your baby’s room.

Video Monitors – This type of monitor allows you to not only hear the activities in your baby’s room, it also allows you to see what is happening in there as well. The camera on this type of monitor works like a web cam, capturing the images and sending it to the receiver.
Advantages:
o Lets you see and hear what is happening in your baby’s room
o Some video monitors can be connected to a computer so that images may be viewed at a later date
Drawbacks: The audio/video monitors are the priciest of the three styles.

Motion Sensor Monitors – This type of monitors detects the movement of your child; if your child stops moving you will receive an alert, indicating that you need to check on your baby.
Advantages:
o Alerts you to when your infant stops moving
o The least expensive of the three styles
Drawbacks: Not as versatile as a video or even the audio monitor

Conclusion
In my opinion, the best style of baby monitor is the audio/video style. This style offers the best of both worlds, the ability to see and hear the activities of your child. With the advances in technology you can monitor your child with video monitors from any location, for example while you are at the office. If price is an issue for you, start saving for this style of monitor as soon as you know that you are going to be blessed with a child.

Trip Down Memory Lane

In the middle of the night, I suddenly had the urge to listen to my favorite songs.. and since it is in the middle of the night, I cannot turn the volume high enough for me to hear it. I got the nearest headphones (I wish I had a dre headphones with me) and put it on my ears and started listening to my play list. This was the first song that played.. and I so love this song.. it makes me feel I’m home..

Natatandaan mo pa ba

Nang tayong dal’wa ang unang nagkita?

Panahon ng kamusmusan

Sa piling ng mga bulaklak at halaman

Doon tayong nagsimulang

Mangarap at tumula

Natatandaan mo pa ba

Inukit kong puso sa punong mangga

At ang inalay kong gumamela

Magkahawak-kamay sa dalampasigan

Malayang tulad ng mga ibon

Ang gunita ng ating kahapon
