How We Kill Boredom at Home During Winter and Pandemic

January 27, 2021 No Comments

SHOP THE POST:

This Winter time is different than any other Winter because we are still in the middle of a Pandemic. I know most of you are feeling the same way as we do, bored! So I am sharing how we kill boredom at home during this Winter and Pandemic and hopefully it might give you some ideas too. And if you are doing something different, let me know as I would want to try out something new as well.

Trying to learn a new musical instrument, we started learning Ukelele. As a family we already are in to music so we just added something new to learn and we play like a band. This keeps us entertained and also we do Friday night live sometimes and also entertain our family and friends on facebook. We also started posting it on our youtube channel. I suggest you create a youtube channel and start sharing what you are passionate about.
New hobby like Roller Skates. The kids started roller blading again here inside the house. We got them those gifts Christmas 2019 and I have been wanting to re live my high school days and join them. I have been following a fellow blogger and she has a roller skating account @frankvinyl_skates. She inspired me to get me a pair and I even asked here what brand is good so I went ahead and now I am skating with the kids inside and outside sometimes depending on the weather. I got hubby to get roller blades too and it felt so good. I suggest you find a new hobby too.
Binging on Netflix shows like Bridgerton, The Queens Gambit, The Crown and more. I suggest you watch a show you have been wanting to watch.
Making Hot Chocolate Bombs. Since it is called I have asked my co worker how she makes them and she gave me some of her molds and here we are doing it and the kids are loving it too. Perfect for the cold weather and making it fun at the same time. Try these out and elevate your hot choco experience.
Game nights like hot potato and Uno cards.
Virtual Game nights, that is what are friends did for New Years Eve, we played bingo since we did not have our annual New Years Eve party.
Family workouts. We do happen to have a home gym so we hang out there everyday and kids enjoy because they said they are so bored just staying the whole day on their virtual learning class. This keeps them moving and active! You don’t need a gym, you can do it at the comfort of your living room or bedroom. There are a lot of free workouts to do, check out Youtube, we usually follow Zumba class there.

I hope I was able to give some ideas for you or your family to do. Share yours too I would love to hear them.

My Hair Loss Journey

January 22, 2021 No Comments

Today I am sharing a wonderful news to all and it is regarding my hair loss journey. I found a product that is really working for me and I wanna share to you all in vase you are looking for one. This post is not sponsored at all!

As you can see from the picture above which was taken around October of 2019. How I am slowly losing all the hair on top the Left side? Well look at this one now, this is taken a different angle but closer so you can all see it. It all started after having babies, I am not saying that all women having babies are losing hair but that was the effect on me. Since I already have 3 babies I have lost a lot and have tried so many different ways like taking other supplement, celery juice and all. But they all didn’t work for me. The photo above is when I posted about date night outfit here.

As you can see on this picture they are slowly growing back, those baby hairs? I started using this Collagen my friend recommended on me and ever since then I have been using it. Click the picture below for the link.

I have been using it since late last year and I noticed after a month and a half that every time I brush my hair or take shower. I do not shed that much anymore like it used to be a handful. Then a lot of people specially at work have been noticing that my hair is having volume. So now I subscribe and save from amazon since I get this like once a month well almost every 3 weeks now because my mom started using it too. And she is also seeing good results herself.

Also another benefits of collagen are strengthen hairs and nails and also improve skin elasticity. I hope you were able to find something here that is gonna useful to you or someone you know.

Thank you so much for stopping by and Have a wonderful weekend.

Different Ways to Glam My Nails

January 13, 2021 No Comments

I am into nails and stuff but honestly I rarely go to the salon and get it done, I always DIY my nails. I am obsessed doing it myself and also really not spending a lot of money every 2 weeks to get it done. So I have been finding different ways to glam my nails and found nail wraps and false nails.

Here I will be showing you guys all the other unconventional ways I have tried to glam up my nails and I am loving it. They are so easy to use, cheap and lovely.

Few months back my college friend introduced me to her business of nail wraps. You can check her Facebook group here to order. They are pretty much like nail stickers but very durable for long uses, mine usually last 2 weeks. Given I wash hands very much in a day because I work in healthcare.

SHOP THE POST:

I also have tried the dashing Diva from target they are $6.99 and looks like real gel manicure and is really worth the money. They really stick, there are a few that doesn’t but you have more nail wraps that you can always replace it with in case it comes off.

Second one I found was this Impress nails. They are ready made and really looks professional and easy to use. I just used it and most of the nails are still intact just by their own adhesive that came with it but there were a few that are already coming off so I will be using my glue to put them back. Still worth the purchase because it is easy to use and is under $10 bucks.

SHOP THE POST:

So if you are like me who doesn’t wanna spend much for their nails and wanna do it at the comfort of your own home that mostly last 2 weeks like the salon manicures then you need to try this.

I hope you find this post helpful and hit the share button. Thank you for stopping!

Mommy and Me Workout Buddy System

January 11, 2021 No Comments

SHOP THE POST:

What makes working out fun is to have a workout buddy. So today I am sharing our mommy and me workout buddy system. I am so glad I have a daughter who loves to workout with me, she is even stronger because she used to do gymnastics.

We just started with just following some of the Zumba strong workouts on Youtube which are like 20-30 minutes each. Then we did HIIT workouts together. And this 2021 we are taking it another level and we are going to follow the Bodyboss Method for 12 straight weeks. We do cardio in between like Zumba dance and as a whole family workout in our home gym which I have shared here.

This is another good way to start if you can have a buddy that is willing to be sweaty with you. Not necessarily a daughter but somebody who is already with you at home specially now during this Pandemic/quarantine period. This is a good way and safest way to do it and to stay home and stay fit this 2021. Let us make our immune system strong.

If you do not have a home gym, Your living room is the best bet or just a small space in your room. There are a lot of workouts to choose from. Or just owning a spin cycle doesn’t take up much space either. This is a good one to invest with in your home if you are ready to be serious at it and not let get it dusty after few usage. Let’s start 2021 Fit and strong all year long! Sounds like a good slogan isn’t it?

Thank you so much for stopping by and hoping I was able to give another insight for all of you to get inspired.
