Biking for Fun and Exercise

I miss biking whenever I see friends on Facebook who enjoy cycling for recreation. It’s been decades since I learned to ride a bike, and it’s not even my own. When I was younger, I would go to the park with friends to rent bikes and spend hours enjoying the cool breeze.

As posted on the seller’s FB page.

Last week, my daughter and I purchased our first bikes. The bikes are surplus items from Japan.

The sturdy-looking bikes are foldable and can be taken comfortably to parks.

My daughter and I are determined to learn to use it (sadly, with 30 years of not riding a bike, I have to relearn to balance).

We are looking forward to more time for practice and eventually enjoy biking in the neighborhood.

Farm Fresh Milk Products

Late post: I’ve been looking for kesong puti and locally-produced mozzarella for a while now until I discovered UPLB’s Fresh Milk Distributor – Commonwealth QC on Facebook.

They’ve been selling a lot of milk products such as whole milk, choco milk, coffee milk, low-fat plain yogurt, flavored yogurt (peach mango, strawberry, blueberry), and pastillas candy.

I ordered one each of kesong puti, mozzarella, peach mango yogurt, and pastillas candy. I bought them in February and have yet to make a second order soon.

The seller is so accommodating and thoroughly explains how to store the milk products properly. Since the milk and other dairy products are fresh, have no preservatives, and with shorter shelflife. Proper storage is a must to maximize its shelf life.

I’m glad I discovered these locally-sourced products. The products taste so much better than I expected. Kudos to the sellers and distributors for helping our local farmers and the industry thrive.

Fashion Styling Tips for Plus-size Women

It is every mom’s frustration to wear stylish slim clothes if they are on the plus-size part. If you have similar concerns, don’t worry. You can still look chic by knowing what to wear and avoid. 

These are some ways to look stylish while you are on the heavy side. 

  • Avoid wearing baggy clothes that will make you look bigger. Go for clothes that compliment your shape and body. As you try on dresses, be sure that it fits correctly because too tight clothing will reveal your lumps. 
  • On the other hand, you can easily hide love handles by wearing the best shapewear for women. Shapewear comes in different designs and styles depending on the occasion and clothing style. Note that figure-flattering clothing would not be complete without the aid of shapewear.
  • Pick clothes that are simple and elegant without loud designs because they will also make you look big.
  • Highlight your assets by wearing proper clothes. For example, if you want to hide your hips, then choose pants that will hug them. If you have a slim waist and want to flaunt it wear a belt to accentuate it on a dress but do not wear a wrestling singlet.
  • For moms who are too conscious to wear jeans, they can wear waist and thigh trainers to slim down their thighs. Based on 3 in 1 waist and thigh trainer reviews, it can assist you with fitting easily into body-hugging dresses, jeans, and skirts. It gives you an hourglass bend in an instant. 
  • Choose darker shades of clothing (black, blue, purple, brown) to hide the flaws and create a slim figure. Remember, lighter colors such as white and khaki can add pounds and make your appearance bigger. 
  • If you love skirts, an A-line skirt with below the knee length works well with moms on the heavy side. This design creates the illusion of a balanced, hourglass proportion. 
  • As mentioned, shapewear minimizes lumps and bumps. Moms should own a piece or two in their closet. It’s practical to buy quality body-slimmers.
