Random Reasons Why I Am Grinning Ear To Ear!

It’s officially summer!

And that is not the only reason I am grinning ear to ear.

Here are the other reasons:

I will be looking for the perfect summer getaway.

Way back (way, waaay back!) when I was a little kid, I used to spend my summer in this lovely beach at my father’s hometown at Santiago, Ilocos Sur. We used to have the beach to ourselves, but , of course, tourism got in the way and now, it is being developed into a Santorini-inspired resort.

I can’t get enough of Halo-halo, gelato and Ice cream.

I tried hard to stick to my diet (o.k, I lost.) and my workout, but seeing my favorite cold desserts, all over the place, always makes me happy!

I will be looking forward to a formal get-together with old friends.

I have not seen my old high school friends in a long while, and we are planning to meet up.  Here is the deal though.  We are planning on a formal gathering, to make us feel glamorous and sosyal for just a night.  No worries though.  I have been looking around and found a wide selection of gowns made available online only at ZALORA!  I am so excited!

Beautiful Gowns

I will be shoeless!

I live in Baguio City, which can be cold most days of the year.  It would be liberating to get rid of my shoes and go shoeless! Nah!  Sandals and flip-flops will do!

3. Set your alarm to play a get-up-and-go or you-can-do-it song for blah tasks that you have to do, like wake up early (I’m so not a cheery morning person.

4. Share a song!  When I hear a tune that reminds me of a pal or what she is going through, I send her the mp3 or text her and tell her I am thinking about her.  It makes my day better knowing I’ve made hers!

5. Sing in the shower – or any place you can be completely yourself.  It does your soul good to be silly, off-key and totally pressure-and judgment free! It is perfect if it can be rme enhanced, too…

3 Steps to Make Your Home More Energy Efficient

One of the easiest ways to cut the cost of living in your home is through a few efficient home renovations. There are a number of 'green' renovations designed to make a home more energy efficient, which does more than save the homeowner money; it also reduces their carbon footprint, reducing the effect they have on the environment.

The first step to determining what needs to be renovated is to perform an energy audit. Determine where the major leaks of energy in your home are and what can be done to improve them, and then make the proper renovations.
