Design For Our Living Room

By | Homes and Interiors | 6 Comments

When we moved into our house last December, we moved all our old furniture and spread it around the house.  We kept everything and used them.  This was our living room when we moved in

Then After Christmas we removed the Christmas Tree and the leather couch and moved it to the basement

We made the living room like a gallery in the meantime that we are searching for the pieces that will fit the living room.  Aside from the expense to put up the whole living room, we are hoping to find the pieces slowly and find the ones we like

This is the photo of the old living room which is Oriental and a Ramon Antonio look in the 70’s

My friend Rachelle insists that the look should be Ralph lauren.  She brought this magazine and told me to go for this theme.  I would also like to get more ideas on what look we should have for our living room…if you have any ideas, please share them with me and email your pegs to ricadejesus@mac.com.  After a few weeks, i will post them here 🙂  I would love to hear from you!!!

Pond’s Unveils The Future of Anti-Aging and Flawless White Skin

By | Beauty | No Comments

Unlocking the mystery of youth has always been the pursuit of many women. Achieving younger-looking skin seems like an unachievable feat. As time passes, our skin cells lose their “youth” and skin cell renewal slows down, producing visible fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, and uneven skin tone.

Pond’s Institute presents the next revolution in the science of anti-aging with the new Pond’s Age Miracle. Pond’s believes that achieving beautiful and youthful skin is not limited to merely repairing surface signs of skin aging and damage. Instead, youth should be restored deep within to revive tired and dull-looking skin.

Pond’s Turns Back Time

 

Offering their most revolutionary formulation in anti-aging to date—New Intelligent Pro Cell Complex™—Pond’s institute gives your skin the chance to boost its skin renewal power. A sophisticated and unmatched skin solution, it combines the power of up to six bio-actives and the natural processes of your skin to comprehensively ensure that age simply cannot catch up.

These six bio-actives include:

·         CLA, the miraculous ingredient that stimulates skin cells thus promoting faster cellular turnover;

·         Retinol, the best-proven ingredient that works to produce and repair collagen;

·         Two Retinol Boosters that accelerate epidermal rejuvenation;

·         Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) which exfoliates skin by removing skin-dulling dead cells;

·         Glycerine which moisturizes the skin;

·         and 12HSA which works deep within skin to renew skin cells and adapts to the unique genetic framework of skin.

 

Pond’s, the pioneer in skincare, proudly unlocks the secret of lasting youth to give every lady the beauty and romance she deserves. With Pond’s Age Miracle, you can look up to 10 years younger! See significant results in just 7 days!
