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's Review of Balance Grow Peach & Oolong Tea made in Korea

Three months ago, Carmina use to drink hot tea after her dinner. It has been a long time and giving myself a go signal.  A family member requested me to find them their Taster's Choice House Blend Decaf coffee. I decided to check at else  S&R Official  Shopee Philippines. Carmina saw they have something I've never tried before it is Balance Grow Peach & Oolong Tea made in Korea for PHP 378.00 ($6.87) 1kg not including shipping and handling. I just followed the instructions by adding boiling water in a mug and adjusted the taste by using a teaspoon. Oolong tea is strong but this one is mild and can really taste the peach in small bites floating in your mug. It can be too sweet if you add to many teaspoons. Not bad for the price. I place it in the refrigerator. NOT SPONSORED. Subscribe @ Carmina Lifestyle YouTube Channel  a place to look, discover and share. Thank you for your support!

Carmina's One Move Made a Big Jump from 586 Followers to 1K Followers

Starting off having 586 Followers that only really count having a Facebook Page for Carmina Lifestyle. DAY 1 The story began when Carmina had informed Becky her goal is to achieve 1K followers. Becky began thinking and laying out suggestions for next year 2023. The next coming Carmina woke up turning on her phone checking her account in Carmina Lifestyle. She saw something interesting just like taking a class. Or something you see a sign or bulletin board you pass to sign yourself up. Carmina was curious and read other people's messages and was wondering what it meant if we said, "Count me in!". All a sudden message began popping up on my notification. I kept clicking follow off the list someone had posted. Next, I know I got restricted by Facebook where people call them Grandpa like they got grounded. In my term I feel I got suspended when you get grounded at school with excess activities you cannot handle in one day. One hour later Carmina was notified that she had reac...
