Tips: Carmina Way to Hang Laundry with Less Space

Summer in the Philippines we tend to change our clothes several times in a day. Our laundry will come around double since we have clothes to wash daily due to the humid weather. Carmina needed extra space to hang her clothes, towel and beddings.  Carmina decided to look the same corner laundry rod that she had a very long time. It is useful because you can easily move it when someone else occupies the room. Carmina was able to find a different version from  Linlee Mall  Online Shopee Philippines for 411.00 pesos ($7.34) not including shipping and handling. I was watching the video from Linlee Mall to see how to assemble the adjustable sampayan clothes rack stand floor to ceiling tension drying rack hangers. It looks easy to the one I have right now.  There was a choice how many hangers you wanted. I decided to get the one with five hangers.  My item has arrived and was able to assemble without any tools needed.  Kindly watch the video to see how it looks so you have an idea just in cas

Carmina's Evaluation Bob Cut Hair vs. Long Hair

  Carmina's comparison based from having a bob hair cut and long hair is something I realize on my own. Bob Hairstyle Comparison : Having bob hairstyle half of your life you we’re so use to just keeping the same type of cut every time you have decided to have a trim. I would have my neck shaved every time I had a haircut. I was told my hairline is long on my neck. After taking a shower I would put argan oil before blow dries it after 15 minutes. The only difference the curls on the ends would stick out if I didn't blow dry right away. I would need to use a blow dryer and hair strengthener iron to maintain my hair. I would wear a barrette on my hair in order my hair not going to my face when I would eat my meals. Or I would put cream gel on my hair just to keep my hair off my face. Long Hair Comparison : There we’re times of my life I wanted to grow out my hair for a peak moment when I wanted to change my hairstyle but always return back into the same bob cut over

Job at 50 Years and Up

Job at 50 Years and Up To the factor age 50 years old is consider as a senior citizen in some countries example the Philippines. I know the fact in the United States when I was working there was no problem to get a job in the age of 50 and up. Most people at that age go toward working for a department store into sales associates, cashier and inside the fitting room. Or there are people who work inside doing clerical work in a office of some sort. Did you know when you're age 50 in the Philippines it is the opposite? It is harder to get a job especially if you're experience most companies would prefer to hire people age in the 30's that are capable to catch up and learn right away. I guess I never really had to think of that because there was always a job handed to me from family members and friends. I do remember when I was younger in the California when I was applying for a job the first time how it was during an interview process was always an introduction who you we'
