I was almost devastated when I dropped my new iPhone last night. I was in a hurry to go out of the office and accidentally slammed on the glass door. The door is usually open all the time but for some reason it was closed that time. Fortunately, I was able to buy protective iphone accessories last week. The protective casing cracked. I could just imagine what could have happened in case my phone was not wearing a case. I would totally freak out if that was the case.

Oh, I also would like to share a bug I discovered in the iPhone. When I unplugged my headset, I notice that I could not use the internal speaker anymore. It seems like the iPhone forgets if it is still using a headset or not. I tried restarting, rebooting, unplugging and replugging the headset but nothing worked. A friend of mine suggested that I clean the headset jack with a cotton swab with alcohol. voila! it worked. Seems like dirt was just blocking the internal sensor of the iphone to determine if a jack is plugged in.



Best Acne Treatments

There are many acne treatments out there, but what are the best acne treatments?

To answer, products with salicylic acid, tea tree oil or benzoyl peroxide have been deemed effective. Dermatologists also prescribe products containing any of these. Among the three, benzoyl peroxide has been said to be the best acne remedy, though it can irritate the skin.

Your safest bet among the best acne treatments is actually tea tree oil, which is natural. This oil can be quite potent, though, so if you are using it on its own and not a product just containing it, remember to use just a tiny drop (you can even dilute it) and put it over your acne.

For a do-it-yourself acne treatment, you can actually make a salicylic acid peel, which can be actually more effective than products containing salicylic acid. Use this peel once or twice a week and you will see results soon.

Yes, you can shed off those pounds quick! Here are some quick weight loss tips:

-Cut down on bad fats and complex carbohydrates. How do you know if they are bad? Firstly, if it’s fats or carbohydrates from processed food. Carbohydrates from white flour – white bread, white cakes, etc. are also not good for you. White rice is not as good as well. So white is not always nice.

-Eat more fiber-rich foods, especially fruits and vegetables. Yes, to replace the bad calories, replace them with good! Instead of white bread, opt for the fiber-rich whole-grain bread. And, take note that not all fats are bad. The fat from an avocado, for example, can actually help in your body’s absorption of the vitamins and minerals from your fruits and vegetables.

-Drink plenty of water. Yes – detox, detox, detox!

-Exercise. If you are aiming for quick weight loss, this should be part of your routine. A 20-30 minute-cardio is good enough.



My Best Friend

“Before leaving for a trip, it’s always safe to have health plans!”

My best friend used to tell me this all the time for some reason. Don’t ask why, I could only guess. She keeps mentioning Blue Cross Blue Shield North Carolina to me and I really find it funny, she seems like she’s an announcer for that company’s TV ad sometimes.

I guess she’s always concerned about health for the fact that she was quite a sickly kid. Her dad used to be too protective that he wouldn’t even let her out of the house if it wasn’t school that she went to, or if she didn’t have a chaperon.

Because of this, she resorted to channeling her affection to dogs. She has the cutest dogs, ever, I swear! I just want to hug them and never give them back sometimes.

I don’t get to see her much now, I’ve been busy with work and my own personal issues. I’ll kidnap her one of these days and go to Boracay with her. I’m sure she misses me too!



Men are vain, too!

With the various men’s products that are out in the market these days, men are having trouble determining what’s hot and what’s not.

Most people just trust what a company has to say and buy the product just because the advertisement says many good things about it.

If you hear about a product, for example, extenze, the practical thing to do would be to google information regarding the products and to check out what other people have to say about it. Learning from the experiences of other people is key.

Why go through the same awkward situation that a mistake that someone else has already made caused?

Women nowadays are quite conscious about their face more than anything else. Some even disregard personal hygiene as long as they think that their face looks perfect.

Wrinkles are one of the many concerns of women regarding their face, and wrinkle eye creams are usually applied to prevent or lessen the amount of wrinkles. Some other products involve moisturizing and concealing pimples or freckles.

What is there to beauty anyway? My parents raised me while attempting to engrave into my brain that beauty is only skin deep and what matters the most is what’s inside. What I want to tell them now is that you can’t change the fact that people get attracted to one another at first because of physical features.

In starting a company, marketing is one of the things you should consider most.

Without this department, how would people be able to know that your company even exists?

It’s these people who are the milestones to your company’s success. They sure have a way with words, and a lot of connections. If you don’t know what marketing program is best for you, it would be a smart decision to look for successful companies in the same area and check if they have affiliate marketing programs.

Not only will this help you know what marketing program is good, but it’ll also help you improve your researching skills! It’s like hitting two birds with one stone.

Remember to take good care of your marketing department, they can make or break your company.



Beware and drive safe!

We’re all aware of the fact that driving can lead to many hazardous situations. The good part about this is that it helps make life easier by allowing you to transport into various places around you without even bothering with the amount of stress public transportation can give.

With all that aside, for our own benefit, insurance has come to life. Many companies nowadays provide cheap auto insurance, but what gives? What can we do to determine which one to get?

The only advice I can give to all of you who read my blog would be to read everything you can about the company and to ask anyone you know regarding their experiences with it.

Experience can be the best teacher, but why do you have to go through the same mistakes that someone already has told you about? Learning from the mistake of others is always the wise thing to do.

Even if insurance can be expensive, it is something that needs to be considered. Many insurance agencies can guide you to which one you really want or need, just be wary of scams and all that jazz.

Happy driving!

Tough times on your family call for tough measures.

Most of the time people just turn their back on awful situations and just try to think they never happened. This is sad, but it happens. I guess this is just one way of coping up from a bad situation.

The fact is, accidents can never be fully avoided, you can only opt to take contingency measures. Most of the accidents around us occur in vehicles, and that is why cheap car insurance exists.

These types of insurance help you out when you’re in need of car related financial issues, and the good part about this is there are a lot of insurances of this type offered all over the world, all you have to do is to choose.
