Carmina went to do her two weeks grocery on March 25, 2025, at Landers Balintawak branch. Upon entering the store near the pharmacy there was a sign posted saying to register for vaccines that will be held on April 12, 2025. Carmina called up Becky asking if she is interested remembered to look out for the flu shot. Becky said yes and asked her to give me full name, birthdate and phone number contact information. Carmina also called up Mom Violy said alright and still faraway to decide.  Carmina felt Mom Violy should get the flu shot since we'll be traveling to California upcoming vacation. Two years ago, when we went to California got sick and that time it was covid season. I just wanted to protect myself even though hardly get sick in the Philippines. Two days before our flu vaccine received a SMS on our mobile phone number to confirm if we are going to get our flu shot. I had responded said yes. One day before I had message Becky if she had received her confirmation on her flu s...

It is not something that we always do yet when there is a chance each person attending will fix themselves up. Mom Violy and other family member were informed we'll be having a photo shoot with a professional photographer.  Our venue will be celebrating Papa Ping's One Hundred Years Birthday.  Some family members attending will be coming from abroad it will be a memorable moment.  It will be a reunion for everyone. We know everyone would like to have their picture taking with a token to share with other in social media. How often do you see Carmina dressed up?

Long time ago when living in California, the only color lipstick I would wear is Fuchsia It has been a long time since I wore that color and now living in the Philippines. I had checked online to see who would have that particular color. My favorite brand is buying from  Avon Cosmetics, Inc .  The good thing I was able to find similar to the color. I used to put foundation as well since too hot in the Philippines. I don't wear it anymore. Due to some of my friends requesting me to wear it again had to look for the shade close to my skin complication. The color I had picked was Light Beige Avon Power Stay 18 Hour Cream to Powder Foundation. Something we often need is the Avon True Power Stay 18 Hour Concealer in Neutral Light Medium. Life being a girlie is putting makeup again. NOTE: NOT SPONSORED. Subscribe Carmina Lifestyle YouTube Channel  a place to look, discover and share. Thank you for your support!

After my lunch with Becky on March 6, 2024, she wanted to walk at Ali Mall. We are walking outside on the sidewalk there was lots of people walking for some reason Becky was in front of me. Becky was walking at the right-hand side near the street.  The sidewalk was a bit crowded at that time because everyone wanted to cross the street.  Carmina was walking behind Becky and the sun was hitting my eyes during our walk it was humid. For some reason that day I had tripped over landed my chin at the end of the sidewalk. Someone shouted there is an accident which led people in front of me who had stopped asking if I needed help.  Becky had turned around at shock seeing her friend at the ground landed on both knees hitting the street. All a sudden it is automatic in our head to just stand up when we're at the ground without any help. Becky asked me to seat down at Wendy's. I removed my face mask. There were blood stains inside my mask.  I used wipes to clean my mouth and sa...

We know in reality there is no way to be in two places at the same time.  Carmina has decided to concentrate on Carmina Lifestyle.  Carmina finds it difficult to have two digital creator accounts.  I am only on person who only want to share one account. I cannot find myself working double time in digital creator.  Carmina has a life outside social media.  Today, March 4, 2024, I started changing my settings in Carmina LS.  I've informed some of my family and friends ahead of time. Their reaction was it was a waste to stop. I said, no way for me to work double time and have both Facebook accounts active.  I informed one friend try juggle two Facebook accounts see if you can manage. One account already takes too much time and effort to keep it active. If, you've never entered inside the world of digital creator you don't know what assignments given to you to complete for five days. I have a lot of friends who are running out what to post daily. I've come...

Ever experience having hives or rashes on your skin well not a good way. It can be very itchy occur most of the time before you've taken a shower. I have a difficult time sleeping due the feeling you want to scratch it off. Although I notice the rash begins to spread. For me it is only temporary imagine the people who deal with it all most their whole life. In the beginning I didn't consult anyone about it started off using hydrocortisone cream thinking it would go away.  Mom Violy kept saying it is only a bug bite.  Mom Violy suggested to use a blow dry when it begins to get itchy something she does to herself.  I tried it didn't quite work for me and didn't feel like putting heat on my skin. I started taking allergy medicine it would go away but comes back the itchy feeling on your arm and legs. I started feeling uneasy. I had message my cousin Mariles who is a dermatologist and sent a picture how it looks. I explained that I had a bug bite and when I would scratch it...

When was the last time you had a haircut? Carmina hasn’t been paying attention to herself. After looking at the mirror I see myself having a hard time fixing my hair. I had to look back to check when the last time was, I had a haircut. I remember it was in a salon Mom Violy wanted to try. It has been five months when I last groomed myself. I was trying to figure out why it took so long to get a haircut. I guess from moving back to the old house and holiday season. We never had the chance to see how we looked. Carmina is not going to a salon she went last year. Actually, this is a barber shop that attends to both men and women. I used to have my haircut and other treatments in the past. Every hair stylist come and go there is a challenge each time.  Carmina had entered inside Barbero's Grooming Center with face mask on asked the first person I saw who can cut my hair. Julie had pointed to me who was doing pedicure with another customer. Manny said, he will be t...

Last year Carmina went to divisoria with Mom Violy and during that time Sonny had informed me he had a hilot. The lady who massages him is really good and the price is affordable. Carmina decided to give it a try. Sonny brought me to the area located on the second floor of 999 shopping mall, Binondo, Manila Philippines. Sonny teased the lady that Carmina only speak English. The lady telling me in English. I kept telling her I understand Tagalog and I can speak it as well. The lady had informed me not to drink anything cold for the meantime. She said, I had cold air in my body due to the air-conditioned. Carmina was so excited when Mom Violy informed me, she wanted to go to 999 shopping malls. I had informed her I will get another hilot. The person who hilot last time wasn't there. It is alright all of the employees know how to massage you. The boss was there listening to our conservation. Too bad they don't do home service only in their facility. I was able to interview them as...

People who stay at home try to find a new hobby or venture through exploring. Carmina use to live in California she learned how to make gel candles at her home. I would purchase my gel candles supplies at the art store. I learned to purchase my glass containers from the thrift stores. They we're inexpensive way to save money on items that can be useful. Decorations to use was able to find in garage sales sold during the season of summer. Everything was assessable to find what we needed to be creative to build art with your own imagination. I'll be sharing you what I have made in the past through pictures. During that time, I was into aquarium having fish inside a glass container my imagination run with ideas. I had friends who also requested decorations for their home. Vegetables I would purchase waxed molds just to add with the gel by combining them together. Our days there wasn't any social media everything was sold elsewhere. I had a friend having a baby girl decided to...

Carmina has been wanting to get her laboratory done to make sure we don't have any illness. Due to our family history we want to make sure our health and how we eat is in good hands. I was informed by someone that adding 200.00 pesos we can find what is our blood type. Those who are a senior citizen and PWD card can get a discount from the laboratory they end up going too. I didn't know that there is a card given once the results come out. It will have your full name, address, birthdate and Blood Group and RH Factor. Carmina also asked Mom Violy to get her blood type it turned out well. We are the same Blood Group O and RH Factor Positive. Just in case there is an emergency we can donate our blood. Life and accident are unexpected might as well be prepared when the time comes. NOTE: Carmina is not selling or advertising for health services at Asiatic Medical Laboratories, Inc.

The last time Carmina had her haircut was four months ago.  I was looking at my old pictures and decided not to have long hair. For reason I see myself doesn't look good on me. I feel my hair is too thick kind of having a mop on your head. 🤣 My hair was able to stick being a bob cut where I've always had that style since I was in college. Carmina asked Becky if she needed a haircut. Becky said she wanted to change her style due to lose weight our face tends to look differently. New changes are great especially the way people see yourself makes a big difference once the weight you've lost the appearance has changed. Carmina was informed by an employee at  Headway Vera Salon to seat down to have my shampoo located is a sink. Joy was washing my hair and already knew what to do by looking at it. Joy said, she'll even out my hair. I know it has been four months and when it grows out evenly. Joy had parted my hair in the middle while cutting my hair and went to each side. I...
