Don’t Forget Your Sun Protection

With summer currently happening, it is no wonder that a lot of people are planing on Florida vacations.

Water fun is at its best with swimming, snorkeling, surfing and other water sports.

However, it is important to be able to protect the skin from over-exposure. Bringing and using lots of sun protection is a must and so is hydration to prevent dehydration. Yes, drink lots of water and juices during summer.

Above all, have safe fun 🙂

Ukay-Ukay Clothes

Shopping for clothes is a retail therapy that women, or men, will not say “no” to. To think that the garments factory is one of the lucrative businesses around is proof that people like to buy clothes.

Do you know that there are clothes that can be bought in bulk? I have not heard about wholesale clothes and this idea seem fresh to me. This reminds me of clothes being sold in “ukay-ukay” shops where bundles of clothes can be sold: from tops to shoes.

I have several tops and shorts that I got from an ukay-ukay store nearby 🙂

*ukay-ukay means to dig, literally means to dig through piles of used clothes

7. Sun/Lens Flare

8.  A Bridge

Would you dare cross that hanging bridge? No, there are no crocodiles lying in wait just in case you fall down but then, that would double the fun, wouldn’t it? (Photo taken by my 13yo daughter)

9.  A Shadow

Wouldn’t you know, it is almost high noon but because of the shadows cast by the trees, this road is quite shady and still cool for a walk.

10.  A Garden

My MIL‘s home garden (Photo taken by my 13yo daughter)

Succulent lechon ribs can be had over here at the home of Lasang Pinoy Sundays 🙂

Why settle for something that came from a can loaded wth sugars when you can have it natural and fresh?
