Can Cinnamon Powder Help Get Rid of Acne?

Living in busy Metropolitan Manila can be very stressful. With hectic schedules, endless traffic, and pervasive air pollution, it’s not uncommon for many of us to suffer from acne breakouts and bumpy skin. The combination of dust and dirt, as well as some hormonal issues, can make acne persistent, painful, and extremely uncomfortable. If you’re like me and have tried almost every anti-acne soap, cream, and treatment available on store shelves, what’s left is to explore other less conventional methods for treatment, one of them being cinnamon. The basics First let’s discuss what cinnamon is. Although not quite as common here in the Philippines, there’s still a good number of delicacies that uses the spice, most notably cinnamon rolls. Plus, considering the country is at the top spot in terms of social media usage, you’ve probably heard or seen some of those Cinnamon Challenge videos, which went viral in recent years. Often found in stick, powder, or dried flower form, cinnamo...

That scent that triggers your brain to recall a certain memory. That when these scent particles pass by your nose, it collects theae memories and retrieves the feelings you have at that moment as well. That scent that lingers in your nostrils even days after you meet. The brain works in amazing ways and how events, scent and feelings trigger all these. Beautiful 

Chuwi Vi8 Unboxing Video and Review

Subscribe to my YouTube channel for gadget reviews and travel vlogs! Living the good life within my budget. ;) This is a tablet that can morph from Windows OS to Android! It can fit in my purse and can act as my second work station. Something I can bring with my anytime, anywhere, just in case I have important work, or I am inspired to write a blog! Fascinating! Here's what I love about the Chuwi Vi8. 1. It can from Windows 8 to Android Kit Kat and vice versa. 2. Windows 8 is upgradeable to Windows 10. Although I don't recommend this because I did try to update but it did not work smoothly. The touch screen was not responsive when I updated and I had to use a mouse to maneuver the tablet to restore it to factory settings. 3. Light and compact, with the tablet weighing only 310 grams or 0.68 lbs. With packaging, it weighs 1.097 kb. 4. It's only about 8" x 4" and can fit in my usual bags. It's like an iPad mini but way lighter. 5. Expanda...

Fitbit Flex Unboxing Video and Review

I was deeply involved in a conversation with friends when I realized that I am lucky I was able to live the prime years of my life in this century. This is the time when technology and creativity meet to fit my wants and needs in my lifestyle. I am a licensed CPA and I do obsess with numbers and analytics. I am also a Pole Fitness instructor and just a general health and fitness buff.  Science and numbers fascinate me, and a few years back I struggled to measure my progress and my goals because I did not have the means to do so. All I could do before is count my steps manually (as in, in my head) because when I was younger I did not have even a pedometer with me. It's such a great time because now, there are lots of gadgets that I could use to track, analyze and be better to achieve my personal goals. I have received a Fitbit Flex for me to review and here are the things logged down after using it for 1 week! What's in the box? If you have seen my unboxing video, y...

Top 10 Black Friday Amazon Gadgets by FlairCandy

I love Black Friday! Right now, I am panicking and hoping I get the great deals! If you are in the Philippines, you can use Forward Shipping companies that will deliver items direct to your house. Here are the Forward Shipping companies I recommend. 1. POBox.ph - cheapest and can consolidate your items, except it takes a while to ship to you (a month or 2) 2. Johnny Air - The fastest among all! It took 14 days from order to delivery when I ordered but I heard it could be done in 1 week, do this when you're in a hurry to get something. 3. My-Shoppingbox.com - partnered with GCash and is also very convenient and their system works great, except they don't ship anything with lithium ion. 4. LBC Shipping Cart - I have not tried this service yet. Here's my list of top 10 Black Friday Gadgets in Amazon. 1.  ASUS X551MA 15.6 Inch Laptop (Intel Celeron, 4 GB, 500GB HDD, Black) - Free Upgrade to Windows 10  2.  Canon PowerShot N 12.1 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 8...
