Subaru Impreza WRX STI

April is a few days away and this would mean car re-registration, auto insurance quotes and a badly needed fresh coat of paint and body works, among others.

Below is one of the cars that the children have a liking to, Subaru Impreza WRX STI. No, that almost new car with a fresh coat of paint is NOT our car. Wish it is though 😀

We have watched Russ Swift drive a Subaru Impreza WRX STI for Precision Driving demo. See the J turns and donuts that this car can do on the pavement.

Awesome power.

Fresh fruits, another entry, here.

Multicolored Plastic Pots

Inside these multicolored plastic pots are seeds planted in a mixture of non soil mix and used coffee grounds. These are being sprayed with water on a daily basis.

Multicolored Plastic Pots

It smells like a cafe in this area and why not, these used coffee grounds can be had FOR FREE from Starbucks.

You can ask for a bag or two from a branch near you when you have time to grab a cup.

How to Protect Yourself From Heat

We have been experiencing extreme hot weather condition on a daily basis. Yes, there is no stopping summer. Just the other day, we experienced 34.5 degrees Celsius.

I am  sure that even if there are people who are gearing for rv repairs for their road trips, more are worried about their crops or lack of it due to El Nino phenomenon.

I have read somewhere that the weather will reach up to 40 degrees. Ugh!

It is important then to know how to protect yourself from heat:

  • Drink plenty of fluids, if possible more than 8 glasses per day.
  • Replace lost salt by drinking sports drinks. Salts and minerals are lost because of sweating.
  • Use sunscreen whenever you will be under the heat of the sun.
  • Avoid being directly under the sun from 10am till 2pm.
  • Wear clothes made of light materials.
  • Monitor those who are at risk like babies and elderly.
  • Try to lighten up your physical activities to avoid exhaustion.

It is important to try to slow down especially when one feels exhausted.

There, I hope I was able to enumerate a few helpful tips on how to protect one’s self from heat this summer.

Skin Care with Virgin Coconut Oil

Being on the lookout for natural skin care, one of the best things to use would be virgin coconut oil.

As I have mentioned in this post about the soaps we have used which have virgin coconut oil as a main ingredient, pure coconut oil has so many benefits to the skin and in my opinion, should be included in most beauty products being sold in the market.

Why the country, with so many coconut tree plantations is not cashing on virgin coconut oil in the skin care products being manufactured here is a puzzle to me. Virgin coconut oil, not chemicals, should be patronized and used because of  its healthy benefits.

These are just some of the skin conditions that are best dealt with pure coconut oil: dry, wrinkled skin, psoriasis, eczema treatment, dermatitis, among others.

This is just about skin care benefits. There are also healthy benefits for hair care, stress relief, weight loss, digestion, dealing with a variety of infections are just some of the few that benefit from the use of virgin coconut oil.

I really hope this product will be used so consumers will benefit from its good results.
