How to Determine Expired Foundation

There are makeup users who are not aware on the expiration of makeup foundations they use. Once a foundation has expired, do yourself a favor. Toss it away regardless the brand and price before it cost your whole face. Continuously using it will only cause harm than beauty to your skin. Also, the efficiency of active ingredients become compromised over time. Your skin may react and cause you skin lesions, rashes, blisters, acne or even redness and swelling.

#PlannerSeries #everymomspageplannerseries Remember I have posted my DIY Planner on a Budget and showed how I set it up? Well, sad to say the lay out of my weekly did not quite work for me. Notes are all over the place and appears kind of messy. I tried my best but the layout did not suits my needs. I am still trying to figure out how to keep it neat looking while keeping it functional. Or else, I need a switch to other layout until I find planner peace. I also decided to change some parts of my DIY planner which I will show in this post.

5 Confidence Boosting Products for Women That Are Worth Their Price Tag

Image
You may have heard about the confidence gap this summer. The New York Times, along with other publications, reported on new research that once again showed women often undervalue their strengths and had lower levels of confidence compared to their male counterparts. This new study was focused on female leadership in the workplace, but confidence concerns bleed into all areas of our life. And how comfortable a woman feels in her skin has a dramatic effect on confidence. Blame it on evolution, but researchers have found that when we feel less attractive it can lower our perception of where we sit on the social ladder in all life situations.

#PlannerSeries #Planner2016 #PlannerPh I love to jot down notes and stuff ever since elementary days and had been using spiral notebooks. But when I started working ten years ago, I switched to planners, those generic ones available in National Books Store until last year.  I need a planner to keep my life organized, track things down, combine all my note taking and planning into one system.  Its quite hard not having a planner because I blog, work full time as Virtual Assistant and I'm a full-time mom so a planner is really handy to schedule all my tasks and effectively perform them all.  Sometimes I tend to forget deadlines, important payments, etc because my brain clog at times for I perform endless tasks a day. If that happens, I just look at my planner to get back to track. This year, I never plan to buy new planner, instead I thought to just create one. I am saving up for a lot of things so I crossed out buying a new planner to my list. My hubby offered to buy me o

Organization 101: How to Keep Small Items Organized

Image
How do you keep small items in your home? Specially if it is something you don't get to use on everyday basis and its too small to keep on your drawers. I always avoid small items like pins and clips clutter anywhere in the house so it wont end up missing the next time I need it. Also, having these small items lying around  is never good when you have kids or pets are around.

Happy January to all! How was the start of your year? I hope you all had a blast! The holidays got my wallet almost half empty, lol.
