Legend of the Blue Sea was aired in the Philippines early 2017. As expected, it was a HIT! The lead star, Jun Ji Hyun is known for her midas touch. Everything she touches gets sold out all over the world. The good news is 2 of the beauty products worn by Jun Ji Hyun is now available on Lazada and it's even on sale!
Jun Ji Hyun just gave birth to her 2nd child last January 26, 2018. Prior to this, she was expected to team up with her former co-star Kim Soo-Hyun of My Love from the Star. Can't wait to see them again. Hopefully, it's gonna be My Love from the Star II.
Some say that in helping others you are also help yourself. Years ago, I've met Aling Nelia, a mother of 11 kids. She collects scraps in our neighborhood. There was never a single day that I didn't see her smile. She has been very positive despite of her situation. After learning that she and her family is getting their livelihood from scraps. I've started saving her the scraps which she can still sell rather than throwing them into the trash. This way I am able to help out without spending a penny.
I've also started asking myself what else I can give. When I look at my house, I've realized that I have too much clutter, stuff that I bought but I never used. So now, I am learning to keep it simple. Stop buying things that I don't need, and to give as much as I can for this is the very reason why we've been blessed.
Now, if you think that you can't help just because you don't have enough money. You're wrong. Complimenting other people, giving out encouragements, sharing your knowledge, giving out the things you don't need can go a long way.

It will take a week before you can adjust to diet like this. But over time, it will be easier for you and then you can add an exercise routine which will also help you to burn more calories and therefore lose more weight. This diet plan is inspired by Herbalife Nutrition. If you have the time and want to get more support as you lose weight. I would suggest talking to a Herbalife Coach near you.
As I was browsing online for a Hair Rebond Home Service, I read a post about making your own Hair Rebond Cream.
Here's what you'll need:
1 cup of Coconut Milk
2 tbsp Olive Oil / Corn Oil
2 tbsp Corn Flour
1 Lemon or 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
Optional - 1 tbsp aloe vera extract
Add a little hot water on your corn flour to make sure there is no lumps on your mixture then add the rest. With mine I used a food processor to make sure that it's all well mixed.
Place it on a pot then boil, mix it continuesly until you get the consistency needed.
This should give you at 1/2 cup of cream.
Now, that you have the cream. First, wet your hair with lukewarm water then apply it to your hair including your scalp. Leave it on your have for 45 mins. to an hour. Wash your have with shampoo to remove the residue and smell.
The Results
The first time I've tried this. I noted that I will still my hair rebonded since it was not as straight. Now, after doing this just after a week I'll say better keep at using this 3-4 times a week and you'll see better results. I'll say this is very good if you have dundraff. It's better than any scalp treatment I got from any parlor out there. As for my hair it it's softer and the part with hair color seem to lighten a little. After doing this treatment the second time, my hair feels softer. Again, it's not as straight but not I think it's better to have a healthy, natural looking hair than rebonded hair. Just keep at it and you'll see better results.
I've always love spicy foods and added 1 or 2 chili peppers on my dishes. It's just amazing that besides adding flavors to the dishes, it is also considered as one of the healthiest food. In my quest of living a healthy life I've stumble upon a study on the health benefits of Hot Peppers.
Health benefits of chili peppers
Chili pepper contains an impressive list of plant derived chemical compounds that are known to have disease preventing and health promoting properties.
Chilies contain health benefiting an alkaloid compound in them, capsaicin, which gives them strong spicy pungent character. Early laboratory studies on experimental mammals suggest that capsaicin has anti-bacterial, anti-carcinogenic, analgesic and anti-diabetic properties. It also found to reduce LDL cholesterol levels in obese individuals.
Fresh chili peppers, red and green, are rich source of vitamin-C. 100 g fresh chilies provide about 143.7 µg or about 240% of RDA. Vitamin C is a potent water-soluble antioxidant. It is required for the collagen synthesis inside the human body. Collagen is one of the main structural protein required for maintaining the integrity of blood vessels, skin, organs, and bones. Regular consumption of foods rich in vitamin C helps protect from scurvy, develop resistance against infectious agents (boosts immunity), and scavenge harmful, pro-inflammatory free radicals from the body.
They are also good in other antioxidants such as vitamin-A, and flavonoids like ß-carotene, a-carotene, lutein, zea-xanthin, and cryptoxanthin. These antioxidant substances in capsicum help protect the body from injurious effects of free radicals generated during stress, diseases conditions.
Chilies carry a good amount of minerals like potassium, manganese, iron, and magnesium. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure. Manganese is used by the body as a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase.
Chilies are also good in B-complex group of vitamins such as niacin, pyridoxine (vitamin B-6), riboflavin and thiamin (vitamin B-1). These vitamins are essential in the sense that human body requires them from external sources to replenish.
Just 100 g provides (in % of recommended daily allowance):
240% of vitamin-C (Ascorbic acid), 39% of vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxine), 32% of vitamin A, 13% of iron, 14% of copper, 7% of potassium, but no cholesterol.
Special credit to 'Nutrition and You'
Normally, you can harvest from a chili pepper after 75 to 90 days after planting. You can harvest from it for over a year. In a period of 3-4 months, you'll be able to get at least 10-20 pcs. a day ripe chili's enough to provide for 3-4 families. Overtime, you will have too much leaving you no choice but find a way to store them. The most practical way of storing them are putting them into a big jar of vinegar.
And sun drying them, turning it to chili flakes or powder with the use of food processor or grinder. If there is still moist, you can place it in an oven toaster to make sure that no moist is left.
You may roast them in olive oils with lots of garlic. This way you can either use them for your condiments or for cooking purposes.
Due to its nutrition contents, I also put some chili on my smoothies. Planting your own chili pepper is not only economical but it will also save you time. Imagine getting your herbs and spices right from your own backyard, not only do you get them fresh but it's free.

'ME' on Max GXL The first time I've
encountered Max GXL was when it was recommended to me by a doctor
when I had a stomach problem about a year agothis is because I went on an extreme
diet that affected my digestion. But the problem was only the
drugstore near the hospital I went to catered the said supplement. I
was only able to take it for a month. My doctor recommended for me to take 1 tablet every after meal. Several months ago, I met a pregnant woman with a high risk pregnancy that was also taking the
supplement. With that, I've decided to continue with the supplement.
OTHER FEATURES: *Get more energy,
recover faster and sleep better. *Neutralizes free radical damages
and slows the aging process. *Removes harmful toxins and
eliminates cellular inflammation. *Strengthens the immune systems
and liver functions.
Based on my
observation: It is recommended to take 6 tablets but I only take 3 a day. 1 bottle will last for 1-2 weeks.
*The first 1-3 days I slept
earlier than usual. On the forth day, I don't feel that sleepy even
after I only slept for 4 hours. *I don't drink that much coffee
than I usually do. *I don't feel that hungry. I tend to eat a
little less than usual. *I have more focus at work. *I don't get sick even when
I'm overloaded with work.
