Did you know you can give gifts to your friends on YouTube? They’re often called jewels , though in other countries they’re simply called gifts. I only discovered this while visiting California , watching my friend’s live stream, when I noticed something moving in the chat box—similar to what I used to see on Poppo Live a long time ago. Curious, I clicked the gift box and saw a variety of gifts to choose from, each with different prices. At the top, I noticed my wallet balance, even though I’d never purchased anything before and didn’t even know this feature existed. I started off with 1,000 jewels but gave some away to my friends. Nanay 19 asked how much they cost on my end since she said from her end, she only receives 50% since gets deducted from YouTube. When I had my recent premiere one of my members asked if I had enabled gifts on my end wasn't able to give me through her laptop so the next day saw my friend online was also on my laptop found out can only give out super cha...

Carmina was looking for the best way to hang treasured pictures and mementos from a keepsake. I felt it was time to bring them out and display them on my wall. I saw many options, from cork boards to felt boards , but I didn’t want an ordinary board hanging there. I wanted it to be part of my wall décor, placed above my desk where I sit daily—something I could look up at and be reminded of past travels and accomplishments. Some people keep them in photo albums or store them digitally, but I wanted mine on display. What caught my eye from an ordinary felt board something had a roof which remind me a house. The best part it is light weight and it has a mount tape in the back attached to the felt board included was thumb tacks and something else where can decorate. Carmina had purchased the three dimensions roof felt board wall self-adhesive retro premium wall decoration message measurement of 60x80 cm in color camel for 875.00 pesos ($14.34) not including shipping and handling.

Carmina noticed that no matter what lip balm she used, her lips stayed dry, and adding more moisture didn’t seem to help. She saw many people using serum but was hesitant to try it, worried it might cause allergies due to her sensitive skin. Carmina discovered that Belo products also carry Sun Expert Lip Shield that is 50 SPF which seems like something to try. The sun is on your face your lips are also exposed. We apply sunscreen on our face daily. Why not protect our lips? Carmina ordered a refundable sample from  Belo Essentials  the price is 300.00 pesos ($4.92) not including shipping and handling. The item had arrived the next day. I will explain in my next article why purchased a refundable sample. Going on to the product this is how the packaging looks with information on the back. I had opened the cap on the lip shield for you to see the scent is not strong when apply on your lips can see the difference. I’ll keep you updated with before and after results since I haven’...

After coming back from my vacation my bedroom was under construction and coming with a small closet space wanted to get a bigger one without spending so much money. The closet that I had before my room was fixed up was a wooden cabinet that was very spacious yet there was problem in my room since the house was old was affected from the termites . Only way to get rid of everything they had suggested to break and remove the wooden cabinets and replace it with metal cabinets that for me looked like a locker room when going to high school. It is not spacious even to put your personal belongings and clothing that you have. I was getting frustrated since the metal cabinets are very low feels like I am a kid again. I decided to purchase my own since wanted something can be able organize my walk-in closet . I saw so many selections and colors. I was able to find  Home Tidy Store  in Shopee Philippines .
