MY EXPERIENCE: I like to test products for a while before I write my reviews on them and this is my experience- I have used the sleeping mask not daily but as often as I can and let it sit all night of course, I rinse my face in the morning and my skin feels so bright and soft, it has made a difference on how my skin feels. The serum I use it daily, and after that I apply my moisturizer my pores have diminished and my skin looks brighter. 

"WHAT I BEEN DOING WHILE ON QUARANTINE"

I just had the idea this morning to share with you what i been doing this quarantine to try and stay productive. I love being home so this is not too hard for me to stay home anyways but i know that for many of you guys it is. Hopefully with this ideas that what i'm gonna share you get inspire to do some of this things while on quarantine.

COFFEE TIME: Just like every morning when i wake up i make my daily coffee, i sit down and i truly enjoy every sip. In the afternoon i been doing this cold coffee that i discovered and its so good (let me know if you guys want the recipe) its so easy.

STRECH YOUR BODY & MEDITATE: I been doing this for a while since the year started, not every single day but whenever i have a chance before work. Now that i don't have to go nowhere or get ready rushing to put the kids to school and get ready to go to work i take the time to put my yoga mat stretch my body and have a quiet moment for myself before the kids wake up. Very important: try to keep waking up early as usual so you don't lose your routine.

WORKOUT- ABS + TREADMILL: I discovered this abs youtube video from Chloe Ting that I been doing for couple months and I been doing the challenge Im gonna leave the video here- Chloe Ting ABS video might as well use this time to work on our body right?!
Treadmill I try to do it every single day for 30 min all incline at 3.0 speed ( while i'm on the treadmill i watch a Netflix series, YT video or be on my phone catching on the latest post- news.

MEAL PREP: To save on food and also time because who wants to be in the kitchen all day cooking, I like to meal prep, a least breakfast and lunch. Also some quick healthy snacks for the kids.

CLEAN UP MY CAMERA ROLL ON MY PHONE: I have tons and tons of pictures, whenever I have some time I go thru my pictures and delete delete delete, also delete the apps you dowloaded but never used .

CLEAN THINGS AROUND YOUR HOUSE: Trust me we all have a drawer where we just put random things right?! why not take the time and clean it up. Clean your kids toys, clean their closet maybe put clothes that don't fit them anymore, clean your closet as well, go thru mail that you kept pilling up, organize your papers, wash your makeup brushes, clean your desk, clean you night stand drawer, wash curtains, Clean your stove, clean your pantry i'm sure you gonna find expired food in there, Clean your shoes, heels, sandals, clean up that sock drawer, paint that room you been wanting to paint for so long, rearrange your room maybe it needs a change, etc I can keep going, theres so many things that we don't take the time to clean because we just get busy with the daily routine, this is the time to take care of those things and places around the house.

CLEAN AND DISINFECT: Now more than ever we have to make sure we deep clean our door knobs, tables etc everything that we touch. use Clorox mixed with water and disinfect everything.

ACTIVITIES WITH KIDS: Kids have a long school break, I try to a least do one activity with them every day. Yesterday we painted the driveway with chalks, and counted the lose change we have laying around and watched a movie. Of course we have to make sure that they read and write as well.

These are some of the things I been doing on this quarantine, hopefully it inspire you to take a least one of this ideas and incorporate it in your day. I take this as a break from the daily routine. Stay safe everyone.

*Let me know in the comments what you been doing in this quarantine.

LOSE WEIGHT WITH CINNAMON

Hello! with all the holidays approaching and the new year coming up everybody's resolution is to lose weight including me.

This tip is to be included as a daily routine that will benefit your body. I have talked about cinnamon before heres some of the benefits:

• Cinnamon Is High in a Substance With Powerful Medicinal Properties
• Cinnamon Is Loaded With Antioxidants
• Cinnamon Has Anti-Inflammatory Properties
• Cinnamon May Cut the Risk of Heart Disease
• Cinnamon Can Improve Sensitivity to the Hormone Insulin
• Cinnamon Lowers Blood Sugar Levels and Has a Powerful Anti-Diabetic Effect

Cinnamon prevents the fat to be accumulating in your body.

DO THIS: DAILY in the morning before breakfast and on an empty stomach, and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water.

When taking regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. This drink does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.

HONEY & CINNAMON

-Anti-inflammatory

-Regulates sugars

-Boost immunity

-Promotes Digestion
