Home shouldn’t only be where you can feel most comfortable, but also where you can feel the safest. Of course, it’s great if you can afford a smart security system that manages your home for you. However, they can be rather costly and need specific know-how to manage it correctly. 

Luckily, there are a lot of security practices that don’t have to cost a lot of money. Here are the simplest and most affordable home security practices to follow this year.

Install an affordable CCTV system
Unlike what most people believe, a CCTV system isn’t expensive. There are a lot of affordable systems that can be controlled by a mobile app. This even gives you the freedom to monitor your home remotely. Most of all, this is often paired with an alarm system that will blast loud sounds from your mobile phone once an attack is detected.

Delete photos of your front door and gate from social media
Uploading photos of your home may seem like a harmless move, but they can be used to track you down. This is especially true when you’re on vacation! They can easily break into your home as there’s no one to monitor it. Deleting photos of your front door and gate from all your social media accounts can highly prevent this from happening.

Light up the surroundings of your home
Keep your home bright at night with ample lighting throughout the home. Burglars and vandals often work in the dark, so lighting up your home can really help. If you have more budget, buy motion-activated lights as it can easily alert you when someone intrudes in your vicinity. Otherwise, you can also buy solar-powered lights that automatically turn off once the sun rises.

Upgrade your doorknobs and locks
It may be unimaginable but burglars often use your doors to intrude in your home. To keep these doors secure, upgrade your doorknobs and locks with a smart lock. This gives you the option to authenticate your door with a PIN code and even your fingerprint. There’s a lot of affordable ones in the market, and it’s worth it to get them for the security they promise.

Fortify your windows
Windows are the other point of entry and exit for your home. So, keep them secure with a break-free glass! Aside from fortifying your windows, you can also make use of a window security film. This gives you a certain level of privacy from your neighbors. Latches and levers can also upgrade your window security even more.

If you want a home in a safe community with 24/7 security, choose BellaVita! Sakto Sa Family Safety, Sakto Gusto mo!

During this time of pandemic, we did not only experienced the bad side of it but we also experienced its good side because believe it or not, it also help us in some point. The current happenings in our surroundings help us to regain ourselves from the fast pacing world that we are in before this pandemic. It actually gave us a time for ourselves to reflect on so many things and it also allowed us to take a break from our usual routine.

Before this pandemic happened, one of the life stresses that I usually experienced is how to properly take care of my skin because it is one of the important asset a student nurse must have in order to look presentable in front of the patients always. Sometimes, I don’t have a time to personally look for a good soap that will help nourish my skin because of the busy schedules that I have. I just rely on what we have in our house that resulted to me having a dry skin. I really find it very disturbing everytime I see a scratched mark everytime I accidentally scratched myself in a particular surface because it just proves that my skin is not in a good shape and doesn’t have enough moisture that it needs. The reason why I was able to say that this pandemic have its good side is because it gave a time to help my skin to improve more. As I searched for a good product that will help me with my dry skin problem, I stumble upon by this brand called Duru.

Duru is a beauty, cosmetic, personal care soap that will help your beauty to bloom and achieve the healthiest glowing skin because their products are naturally made with organic ingredients.

Blooming White is a translucent soap that contains glycerin and Italian olive oils that helps to moisturize and rejuvenate the skin. It also has an olive leaves on it which are natural exfoliants that turned the dull skin into a blooming skin.

My pores is one of my problem because I have so many of it in my nose and its surrounding are, be it in black and white pores. That is why, I’m really looking for beauty products that can help me solve my problem because my pores are really big, noticeable, and sometimes itchy. Good thing I stumble a upon a Snoe’s More Awesome Poresome. Actually, this is my first time hearing a brand called Snoe. At first glance with the product, I can say that they really consider the packaging of their products because of its interactive and glamorous designs and that makes me curious about it since it is my first time seeing a product with that kind of packaging. 
More Awesome Poresome is a skin care products that helps to minimize the pores. This set of line includes four products – Beauty Bar, Power Cleanser, Clarifying Tonic, Pore Perfect Serum, and Microdermabrasion Retexturizing Polish.

More Awesome Poresome Beauty Bar costs 299 PHP and weights 150 grams. This soap can be use daily and it doesn’t have a strong smell. Also, when everytime I rinse this of, my face become smooth since it contains a Pineapple, which is rich in AHA that helps in exfoliating our skin. However, when using this soap you might feel a slight tingling or prickly sensation.
More Awesome Poresome Pore Minimizing Power Cleanser costs 299 PHP and weights 50 mL. This cleanser can be use everyday too. It is clear in color and has a faint smell. Though when you apply it your skin you might feel kinda sticky, but nevertheless, I can feel that it cleanses and nourished my face as it wash away my excess oil, dirt, and impurities. I also like the fact that the bottle has a neck stopper that helps prevent leakage of the product when you unconsciously pump the bottle.

More Awesome Poresome Pore Minimizing and Clarifying Tonic costs 399 PHP and weighing 50 mL. Toners is known to remove the traces of oils and dirt that the cleanser wasn’t able to get and restores balance acne prone skin. So after using this, I really felt that my skin is cleaner since it now tightens my pores and refresh since it has a cooling sensation when applied to skin. However, it is not good to overuse this product because you might feel a stinging sensation afterwards.

More Awesome Poresome Pore Perfect Serum costs 449 PHP weighing 50 mL. This serum is actually silky and lightweight that helps me to achieve a translucent pore coverage and smoother than ever. Also, you can use this under your make – up or before applying sun screens.
Awesome Poresome MicroDermabrasion Retexturizing Polish costs 399 PHP and the weight is 50g. This product helps me smooth my fine lines, even out my uneven skin tone, fades any discoloration present in my face, and it produce a new cell that makes me look younger, radiant, and revitalized.
For my overall experience with these products I can say that is really minimizes my pores although there are still pores that are present. But I think, if I continually use this for sure my pores will be vanish. The smell of the products are not strong but there is a faint smell of citrus. The size is very handy and you can even bring it wherever you go. The bottles are secured properly since there is a neck stopper and a cover. Just a reminder, do not overuse the products by using a lot of amount in a single application because you will feel the stinging sensation and it might damage your skin.

Philippines have a crazy weather since it is hard to know whether it is going to be sunny, rainy, windy, or a mixture of them. And because of that, the supposedly planned scheduled are sometimes being delayed or destroyed. But even if that’s the case, you can still be fashionable while strutting the streets on a cool and calm way so that others will not think that you are bothered by the changing weather.
A sunglasses can help you enhance your style especially that it can be use in any type of weather. Like Ashley Benson, she was able to uncover her true sense of style and it is all big thanks to Privé Revaux. In collaboration with this brand, she curated 3 sunglasses that really speaks for herself and personality and these are the Planco, Victoria, and Olive.

The Planco was named after her dear friend and publisher. This sunglass is a straight brow bar with an integrated side shield which is available 3 colors – rose gold/brown, rose gold/orange, and gunmetal/ black. 
The Olive was named after her cute little dog. And with that, this sunglass has a fierce looking cat eye style which is available in the 2 colors – caviar black/black and candy red/red mirror. 
The Victoria was named after Ashley’s middle name. This sunglass is a classic rectangular shape with an angular upsweep which is available in 3 colors – caviar black/black, candy red/red, and splash white/grey gradient. 
Privé Revaux main agenda is not only to help Ashley Benson to find her sense of style but also to help fashionistas like you to boost your confidence and spice up your sense of style with the use of their specs. With the Benzo collection you can conquer the challenge of commuting and #ReframeYourself. Head on over to Privé Revaux website and stores and pick your eye shield that suits your fashion style.

Online shopping is very rampant nowadays because it is very convenient especially to those people who are busy enough to go on shopping in a physical store. As I have observed these online sellers also have a twist on their own and one of it is the Subscription Box where you will choose a plan and they will curate it for and delivery it right away to your doorsteps. I often see Subscription Box in clothing but not in Premenstrual Syndrome or widely known as PMS of women! That’s why I was thrilled when I found out about Happy Days Club! They are the very first PMS subscription box here in the Philippines with a mission to bring happiness in every women’s faces during the whole course of their period. And oh! The boxes you might receive is not only specifically designed for your menstruation problems but you can also receive skin care and hair beauty products as a bonus! Indeed, the box contains all in all products that every women desires!

Happy Days Club are partnered with a lot of brands and some of them are The Good Pillow, Facial Plus PH, Black Beauty, and Organic Skin Japan. With all the products I’ve received, I must say that the money you will spent is really worth it because their partner brands are reliable and very effective to use. 

If you are wondering what The Good Pillow is, it is a 2 – n – 1 natural aromatic compress that you can use through hot (microwave) if you want to relief your stress, aches, or pains and cold (freezer) if you want to alleviate your swellings, cramps, and sprains. This pack contains natural grains, herbs, and essential oils that will give you a heaven – like feeling whenever you use it. My mom is the one who tried this because she had a cramps after a long day of going back and forth for preparing for the celebration of my sister’s graduation. After a while of using it, my mom told me that her cramps is starting to lessen and she can now peacefully rest without enduring the pain. She also told me that she likes it very much because it is not hassle and she doesn’t have to worry being soak in wet.
It is actually my first time hearing Facial Plus PH and I am so happy that they have a complete set of anti – aging skin care regimen. Girls! You don’t have to go to one brand to another just to complete your skin care products because in Facial Plus they have everything you need from start to bottom, plus it is made here in the Philippines! Although, you might see that it is not a lot compared to others but you know, using less is more! So this set includes a soap, a toner, and a cream. The soap serves as a cleanser to my face which is rich in placenta protein that is known to renew the skins cells in order to revitalize and reduce the wrinkles and fine lines present in our face. The toner is a balancer that is formulated with Vitamin A, C, and E for skin renewal and enhancement of skin elasticity and it also boosts the moisture and protects the skin from free radicals. Lastly, their cream acts as a moisturizer that will surely keep your skin smooth and hydrated and you can also make it as base to your make – up. Actually, I am already in my second year in college and the rotations that I am having in the hospital is really stressful that sometimes I am worrying what my face will look like in the next morning due to lack of sleeps. But now, with their anti – aging set that includes a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer that perfectly works to each other, I don’t have to worry because  it really saved me from having a zombie – like face in the next morning. Everytime I use it, I can feel my face is starting to become younger looking, smooth, soft, and well hydrated again! Thanks to them because I will now be able to face my patients with confidence again!
Black Beauty is not new to me because I started to hear them since when I was a little kid and it’s famous as they are termed as “Shampoo ng Kabayo.” Actually, I am very intrigued with this brand because of the positive feedbacks that I always hear from my relatives and my neighbors for its effectivity in making your hair fuller and thicker right away. I received two of their varieties and these are Black Beauty Gold Shampoo and Black Beauty Anti – Dandruff Shampoo. Between the two, I used the former because I have a thin and brittle hair. After using this shampoo, I was impressed because what I heard about this brand is really true. Everytime I comb my hair after taking a bath, there is a less hair fall than its usual that’s why I know and I can say that my hair is becoming stronger, thicker, and fuller than it was before. I don’t have to worry for being bald at a young age because of this! 
The last brand that I received is the Organic Skin which is made in Japan. Organic products is very timely nowadays because of its effectivity and it’s safe to use and this brand guaranteed that it is 100% all natural. They have three kinds of soap and these are the Noni Soap Aging Control Beauty, Lemon Soap Oil Controlling Whitening, and Oatmeal Soap Acne Control Flawless. Between the three, I used the latter because I am really prone for having an acne. Nowadays, flawless skin is very important because even if you like it or not, people will judge you on the way you look that’s why I am always make sure in maintaining my face to be acne free as possible. But of course, it is hard to achieve especially if you cannot still find the right product that is actually perfect for you. I must say, that I already saw the perfect product for me and it is the Oatmeal Soap Acne Control Flawless. I really love this soap because it is gentle and not too strong in my skin. It makes my face soft and it doesn’t dry my skin. And also, everytime a pimple shows up, it will be subside right away that I don’t need to use a pimple patch to hide it. I’m totally enjoying this one and it will surely be part on my everyday routine!
Overall, I would like to thank Happy Days Club for giving me beautiful products that I am enjoying too much and for introducing me to the brands that I haven’t known yet. Because of them, I was able to explore more and most importantly, I was able to properly take care of myself because of the right products that they have sent to me.
