Motivation and inspiration board

I always look up to this board in my daughter’s room every morning.

Reading those little prints brings a smile on my face. The young lady is goal-oriented and devoted to what she is doing. Given the motivation and support that she needs, I believe that she’ll go places. Who knows her dream to live in Italy as an artist would be realized one day.

Don’t have time to pamper you nails? Or don’t have enough budget to go to the nail salon? Either way, this helpful tips I stumble from ivillage.com will surely bring the life into your shabby-looking nails.

Mix brown sugar with lemon (or calamansi), honey, and olive oil (will try other edible oil as replacement) and scrub into hands and nails for a minute. The mixture would make the cuticles soft and easy to remove. If you have a wooden coffee stirrer, you can use it to push back cuticles. Your hands will look clean, soft and manicured after this.
