The feeling of satisfaction after a good physical exercise gives you happiness, confidence and fresh strength. That is if you really do your workout. Unfortunately, there will really be days when you feel like sitting it all out the whole day and to other things other than your regular exercise. The feeling of laziness is the ultimate blockage of the more beautiful and healthier version of you. You just feel the heaviness of your body weighing you down and it is just so tempting to sleep. It is very particular with us Moms what with all the never-ending responsibilities and chores. Good news is it just takes a few clicks from your phone or your laptop to get you motivated to move and you don’t need to go to a gym, really. You can do your exercise at your house at the time you set which is strictly for that purpose only.  So here are the only 10, yes, 10 songs to get you your adrenalin rush. Few songs are new. Few songs are old. Few songs you might never heard of before but ...

      80 Jumping Jacks Jumping Jack is performed by   jumping   to a position with the   legs   spread wide and the   hands   touching overhead, sometimes in a clap, and then returning to a position with the   feet   together and the   arms   at the sides. This is a full body workout which elevates your heart rate. This makes you breathe more deeply which gets oxygen to your bloodstream and to your muscles. This exercise burns fat at rapid rate, energizes and sharpens your mind. 100 Crunches You can either do basic crunch or double crunch. Basic crunch is done by lying on the floor, knees bend, feet on the floor, hands behind your head,  and rising or bending your body up in a curling position then slowly lying down again to repeat the method. Double crunch is done the same way but the feet are raised up with your knees at a 90 degrees angle. Crunches are a great exercise for toning your tum...

Imagine an unlimited supply of the food, herbs and spices you usually use in your everyday cooking. This means you could save a lot of money in your groceries. I did my research and found out some foods are just very easy to regrow. They won’t even make us sweat. I started planting some these and now they are growing. Here are 12 foods that are so common and are so needed in our sautés, tinolas and adobos , so I believe it is not a bad idea at all to decide to plant these at our backyards or pots or recycled containers. We can even sell the produce if we have spare. 1. Ginger Ginger is one of the main ingredients of Filipino dishes like tinola and adobo .  It is very easy to grow. You just need to keep a spare of your ginger, particularly the part with a bud on it. Plant the ginger root in a potting soil or in your garden. Wait until you see new shoots and new roots to harvest and use them again. 2. Onions Onions are very easy to re-grow. Keep a ...

Wake Up early.  Early means from 5 am to 5:30 am. Say a prayer of abundance.   This one is my favorite prayer to say every morning. It is the Novena to God’s Love by my mentor, Bro. Bo Sanchez, a Catholic Preacher.  Eat fruits. Eat at least two kinds of fruits in the morning. Eat your fruits before eating anything else. Eat them on an empty stomach. This is your breakfast. You break the fast with fruits. Fruits work like natural brooms.  Eat them up until your lunch.  Personally, since I easily get starved in the morning, I eat fruits first then I do some stretching to let my cup of hot milk cool down for little bit. I drink the milk at least an hour or two after I ate fruits. Mostly, I ate bananas and then I pair them with oranges or mangoes or pears or any fruit I can find in the fridge. I mentioned that fruits should be eaten on empty stomach since fruits are easily and quickly digested if taken alone which means nutrients are e...
