Winter weather is not fun for skin. Cold weather and low humidity levels result in dry air, which then steals moisture away from the skin every second of every day. Even the things that make winter wonderful, such as sitting by the fire place, can dry your skin. Applying a pure hyaluronic acid serum can help protect the skin from the harsh winter weather.  And though taking a hot shower might seem like a good way to warm up, hot water dries out your skin by stripping it of its natural oils.

Without immediate care, dry skin can lead to cracking and bleeding, and harsh winter wind makes the problem worse. Indoor heat further robs the air of moisture, as do hot showers or baths and harsh cleansers.

Additional moisture helps, but you need to do more to actually counteract these effects and keep skin looking youthful and smooth, like using 100 squalane oil to protect your skin.

There are many simple ways to combat the causes of dry winter skin and help keep your skin feeling moist and supple all season long, including some easy changes to your everyday routine. For example, after taking a not-quite-so-hot shower, blot skin dry and apply a thick moisturizer within a few minutes after bathing to seal the water into the skin.

Before your skin has a chance to feel the effects of the cold, dryness and wind, bolster your skin care routine with these 5 tips that will keep it feeling invigorated, fresh and soft.

1. Stay hydrated

By keeping your body hydrated, your skin will naturally follow suit. Water of course will help you stay hydrated, and drinking more will especially help if you don’t usually drink enough. Drinking tea will also help you stay hydrated. But water alone isn’t enough. It needs to be consumed in combination with plenty of vitamins and minerals and salts and healthy fats, from vegetable, fruits, nuts, etc., so that your body retains the water.

2. Choose your skincare products wisely

Use a rich, oil-based moisturizer during the winter months. This will help seal water in your skin and will keep it more moisturized than water-based face lotions. As always, choose organic and know your ingredients!

What kept your skin happy during summers can make it sad during winters. And that’s why you need to change your skin care products accordingly. The key to healthy and glowing winter skin is using mild skin care products. Do get the best vitamin C serum to protect your skin.  Choose cleansers that contain moisturizers to avoid stripping your skin of its natural moisture barrier. If you have acne or breakouts, use products containing ceramides, hyaluronic acid, hydration serums, and glycerin to help in repairing the moisture barrier of your skin.

Dab on some extra virgin coconut oil as it is a highly effective product for skin care.

3.  Invest in a Humidifier to Maximize Moisture

Using a humidifier in your home or office will add moisture to dry winter air and help keep your skin hydrated. Run a humidifier in the rooms you spend the most time in, including your bedroom.

4. Apply Sunscreen — Even on Gray Winter Days

On bright winter days, snow reflects the sun’s rays, up to 80 percent, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, increasing your risk of exposure.  That means whether you’re out on the slopes, playing in the snow, or just walking through a parking lot on an errand run, it’s just as important to be applying sunscreen in the harsh winter weather as it is in the summer.

5. Gently exfoliate

As the body ages, its natural ability to regenerate new layers of skin slows down. Gentle exfoliation will slough off old skin cells and reveal fresh, glowing skin.

The first thing which bikers do when they wish to improve the performance of their motorcycle is check on possible upgrades. The very first thing that a rider does after losing the race by just 2 seconds is to improve his Honda motorcycle.

1.       The very first step is to upgrade you

The very first upgrade before you dump a good amount of cash on your expensive motorcycle is to upgrade you. Sometimes it is good to get some nice perks and tweaks for you. right from getting a good helmet to wearing the right bike rider jacket and enhancing your bike riding skills is very important. Get new lessons about different riding styles and do not hesitate in asking for feedback.

2.       Air filter

3.       Braking system

When you wish to improve your bike, an important thing to do is replace your stock lines with stainless steel lines. It gives you enhanced control and better feel and looks tidier. The brake pads complement the improvement look of your bike too. You can choose from semi and full metallic pads. You should also check brake disc and match them with the pads. Improving your braking system will vitally affect the performance of your bike.

One thing that is confusing about the law is that it is always changing. The things that you are familiar with may become more complicated in the future. It is best that you keep yourself updated with the changing laws. This way, you can prevent yourself from making mistakes. Why not contract a traffic ticket lawyer? The lawyer will be able to give the information that you would like to get.

There are some laws that may not be applicable directly to driving but can help identify the rider better. For example, the drivers of California right now are entitled to choose the type of gender that they identify with. There are three gender types that are available right now namely:

• Male
• Female
• Nonbinary

If you do not understand what a nonbinary means, this is the type of gender that is used for those who are considered to be “queer.” This means that the gender that the person identifies with is neither straight male or female. You can ask traffic ticket lawyers near me for more details.

These are some of the traffic laws for the drivers in California:

• Those who have gotten a DUI more than once or the DUI has resulted into a more serious situation, the ignition of the car has to be interlocked. This is a very useful traffic law so that other DUI drivers will become more careful because they will surely be monitored.
• There is a fast lane that is available in some of the highways of California. The fast-lane is only applicable to people who have no history of harmful emissions that may come from the vehicle.
• There are going to be smog checks for cars that are beyond 8 years old. This can be very useful for people who would like to see if their cars are still in their perfect working condition.

Another strict rule that is being followed is the fact that people have to pay when their muffler is a bit noisy. Those who have noisy mufflers should change their mufflers soon or they may need to contact their speeding ticket lawyer los angeles very soon.

Being a mother is the most special task that I can ever have. During pregnancy, we moms know that our lifestyle and dietary choices will have a great impact on the health of our baby. But when cravings kick in, we often seem to neglect proper food intake.

Eating right, especially during the first trimester of pregnancy, is a must. I can’t blame you, eating fruits and veggies can get boring. It seems to always be the same routine. But let me share with you a simple, yummy and nutritious recipe that I’m sure you will enjoy.

It’s called Stuffed Potato Bowl that I  found on the Potato Goodness website. It is a vegetarian recipe that is high in fiber, perfect for pregnant moms! This recipe is recommended for pre or post workout, but the potato and a bunch of other ingredients like fresh kale, strawberries, chickpeas, and egg contain a host of vitamins and minerals that can benefit pregnant mommies.

INGREDIENTS:

1 medium russet potato, baked
1 cup Kale and Spinach blend, chopped
1/3 cup chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 Tablespoons avocado, chopped
1 cup strawberries, chopped
1 egg cooked however you like

PREPARATION: 

Reheat baked potato for 30 seconds in the microwave.
Remove and slice vertically in half, then horizontally in half again.
Press the back of fork directly down into potato to “smash” it!
Season potato with salt and pepper if desired. Top with Kale and spinach blend.
Top with remaining ingredients and enjoy.

Did you know that a US study of women in the childbearing age (19-50 years old) indicated that most fell short of the recommended levels of vegetable consumption? Depending on a woman ’s calorie needs,  about  2  ½  to  3 cups of vegetables should be consumed daily.

With today’s diets, lifestyle choices and distractions, most women go with just a little over a cup of veggies a day.   It’s hardly ideal if you have a little one on the way. This means that you’re missing out on important nutrients like potassium, which can help you avoid horrible leg cramps in the middle of the night.

Bananas are good, but the best source of potassium is the potato. Potatoes rank highest in potassium content among the top 20 most frequently consumed vegetables. A medium-sized US potato at about 5.2 ounces packs 620 mg of potassium, way more than a  banana.  At that size and prepared with the skin on,  you’ll get only  110 calories.

Potatoes also have no fat, sodium or cholesterol. They’ve got loads of vitamin C and B-6, plus iron and fiber which help digestion and lower blood cholesterol. Potatoes are also high in folate, which is important in pregnancy for normal fetal brain and spinal cord development. Folate is needed for the development of DNA and other genetic material.

As your baby grows, he or she will gain energy in your womb through glucose. This may explain why your blood sugar levels may drop and cravings for starchy food begin. Potatoes are a convenient and delicious way to answer those cravings and will make you feel fuller faster. A serving of mashed potatoes can help reduce gastric acidity, too.

Remember though,  that pregnancy nutrition is a careful practice.  Eating right, especially during pregnancy,  entails not just consuming the right foods,  but the right amounts prepared the right way.  Avoid deeply fried preparations,  for example,  and choose less processed dishes like boiled potatoes seasoned with spices, olive oil, and vinaigrette.

Thoroughly clean the potato for preparations with the skin on. Try the potato baked, with less cheese and toppings than you’d usually add, or steamed. Make potato dishes in combination with other vegetables and meat, or as a soup or stew. Mashed potatoes with some vegetables and spices will also make your day.

Potatoes are a rich source of vitamins and nutrients for an expectant mother and for a woman who hopes to be pregnant in the future. Plan your best pregnancy diet with your doctor or nutritionist.    So remember to increase your veggie intake in general, and take a good long look at how potatoes can help your nutritional needs. The humble spud could be the answer to the nutrient gaps so many women are experiencing.

Potatoes USA, an organization that has thankfully brought US frozen, US tablestock (fresh) and US dehydrated potatoes to our shores, offers a lot of options for potato meals.

High quality US potatoes can be purchased from major supermarkets and groceries nationwide.  For more information on  US  potatoes, you can get in touch with the local Potatoes USA-Philippines office at +632.534.8534 and info@synergyasia.biz.

THE MOA GRAND FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS

Every year mall goers especially those who are near Mall of Asia anticipate the Grand Festival of Lights. Where they are all waiting for the Christmas parade for almost on its 10th year. Holidays are more magical and memorable at the SM Mall of Asia as Santa’s magical friends, Leo the Lion, Hailey the Hippo, Gerry the Giraffe, Macky the Monkey, Cyril the Squirrel, Benny the Bunny, Elly the Elephant and Hanna the Panda are back and to join the parade for a Winter Wonderland Christmas adventure as they ride the six magical floats set to music and dance the night away. Together with Oppo, Lady’s Choice, Toy Kingdom, SM Store, PLDT, SMART and Coca-Cola, this year’s festivity is set to be the most memorable parade ever.

Harvey enjoyed the parade with over six floats that were all designed with the Holiday spirit. Parade-goers also waited for Santa Claus. Christmas floats come to life together with over a hundred characters dancing and spreading happiness to all capped with the spectacular fireworks display at Seaside Boulevard.

Every Saturday starting November 24, 2018, until Christmas Day, 5:30PM at North and South arcades, our customers will be in for a special treat and will experience more magical moments with family and friends.

I was just strolling around SM Department store shoes and bags section when I bump into this little kiosk with colorful notebooks. At first glance, I already noticed that it is a  planner. I asked the lady who is arranging the notebooks by then. "Ate how can I get those planners?" She then replies, " Ma'am puwede niyo po makuha yung planner in a discounted price of 199.75 pesos, kung bibili po kayo ng any Parisian shoes or bags. On my mind, it is perfect because I'm searching for a new clutch bag for my friend's wedding. Enough with the talking, now I'm going to share with you what's inside this notebook.

As I said, originally it cost 399.75 pesos, but when you're going to buy any shoes and bags from SM Parisian you can have it for only 199.75 pesos. A great deal right? It comes with 3 different colors that can fit your mood. Pink, Gray, and Blue. Scroll down the pictures below to check what's inside.

I think this is the first time that SM Parisian released their own Planner. The quality of the planner is good, it has a faux leather hard cover. A metallic gold engraved text of "twenty nineteen". The paper quality is also good. 

What I like about this planner is the design is simple but looks stunning. Each page of the start of the month is a calligraphy-like photo. 

This planner is a good catch, unlike other planners that you need to collect stickers and spend around 1,000+ pesos. For only 199.75 plus your own choice of bag or shoes. 

You can also have this set of coupons with 20% off

Promo available in Metro Manila and Luzon The SM Store Branches starting Dec 1 and Dec 7 for Visayas and Mindanao branches. Check out SM Parisian Shoes and Bags Facebook account for more details.

Bubble Milk Peel Cream Mask from @altheakorea is a bomb. This is my first time to try this type of mask where cream is transformed to bubble. It contains AHA & BHA that peels off dead skin cells but don’t worry the milk content provides your face a moisture. #itsRayrose #DMtriesIt #AltheaAngels #AltheaKorea #MilkPeelCreamMask

A post shared by Rayrose Samson (@itsrayrose) on Dec 5, 2018 at 5:35am PST

 Starting off, my face is oily and have some dark spots. Sorry for my pimple marks and pimple.

1. I splash some water on my face to dampen it
2. Pump enough product to your hands and lather it to your skin. In addition, I rather use a spatula to spread it all over my face. I think in this way the bubble will be not yet activated.

3. Wait a couple of seconds about 30-60 seconds. In those times, while the bubble is building up you can feel that weird sensation all over your face. It is the time where the nutrients penetrate on our skin.

4. Wash your face with a warm/lukewarm water. My personal tip, create a circular motion with your hands and massage your face.

Verdict 

I make my skin soft and smoother after washing and it brightens my dull skin. I will update you on my follow up blog for this one. Overall I'm in love with all of the products that I got from Althea. The Milk Peel Cream Mask is now available on Althea.kr at 10% off for USD8 (normal price USD9). For more information on the product, please visit the product page HERE.

From all corners, the Spaceport was packed with people – both young and young at heart were in attendance. As soon as the Popstar Princess took the stage, all eyes were on her; the brightest tala of all. She performed her top hits ‘Tala,’ ‘Kilometro,’ and ‘Ikot-Ikot’ to which the crowd ecstatically sang along to. She rocked the stage with James Reid, who recently dropped the ‘Careless Mixtape’ last October 12. The suave singer-actor captivated the crowd with his charismatic voice and powerful moves dancing alongside G-Force. After performing their own hits, the tandem shared the stage for a medley performance, singing throwback hits from the 90s.

The Juans, Janine Teñoso, J.Crisis, and EK’s very own Victoria’s Way, Kingsmen and EK Circle of Artists graced the stage with their presence and performed a string of nostalgic old school songs. The night finished off with none other than the Sky Wizardry fireworks display that perfectly captured the magic.

Enchanted Kingdom’s 23rd Anniversary celebration was indeed a success. Once again, the park made it a magical experience for all guests, proving that it will continue to be the best and only world class theme park in the country. 

DJ Mark Thompson emerged victorious at the Red Bull Music 3Style Philippine Finals on Sunday, November 18th, 2018, at Xylo at the Palace, in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, Metro Manila. The newly crowned champion will advance to the Global Finals in Taipei, Taiwan, where he will represent the Philippines from January 20th – 29th, 2019.

Red Bull Music 3Style is one of the premier music tournaments in the world today. Now on its fifth year in the Philippines as an annual event, Red Bull Music 3Style brought out the best young DJs the country has to offer in a showcase of skill, creativity, and ability. Each participant was tasked to upload a five-minute performance video showcasing three different genres of music.

This year’s finalists included:

• Arpee Ong
• D’Mad Tweaker (DJ Jan Musa)
• DJ Gavin Skewes
• DYHA (Ernesto Alfante Jr.)
• iNBiTuiN (Charles Angeles Jr.)
• Mark Thompson

Before a crowd of over a thousand, each finalist was given a 15-minute set to showcase their skills, dazzle the audience, and impress the judges. This year’s judges included respected and internationally renowned names in the scene such as DJ Puffy and DJ Shintaro; former Red Bull Music 3Style World Champions, and DJ Shortkut; a member of the legendary group, Invisibl Skratch Piklz.

After a night of back-to-back competition, Mark Thompson prevailed as this year’s champion, with DJ Jan Musa in second place, and DYHA and iNBiTuiN sharing a tie at third place.
“I am lost for words,” shares 2018 Red Bull Music 3Style Philippine Champion, DJ Mark Thompson. “Like, never in a million years did I think I would win. I didn’t care about placing: I just wanted to do my set right and have a good time. Being a fan and watching the years before was already a big deal, let alone place and win. I can’t believe it.”

Mark Thompson rocked audiences during his set, which saw a drum solo in its closing moments. “What I did, because this is my first battle, was look at the rule book. I couldn’t compete with the talent, but I have ideas and I wanted to make these ideas happen. I can be creative and I wanted to mix the unconventional.”

With a Philippine Champion crowned, Mark Thompson now advances to the 9th annual Red Bull Music 3Style Global Finals at Taipei, Taiwan, from January 20th – 29th, 2019.
“I’m going to practice, practice, practice. I’m going to do my best and have fun,” adds Thompson. “I’ve never played in another country, so this is going to be another first. If you love it, work hard at it. It’s supposed to be fun!”
