Feature: Tuttle Publishing Company

     Hello dearies! Who here loves reading? A book worm maybe, but that doesn't matter as long as you thirst for new information I'm pretty sure you want to own a hardbound book. In this age of digital technology, most books are in form of e-books. I'm not against those gadgets and book reader apps but I confess that I still prefer the traditional way of reading. I love flipping the pages of magazines, the smell of old books in the library, colorful visuals of cookbooks, and loads of information from reference books like dictionaries, language learning booklets, and many more!

     Months ago, Tuttle Publishing asked me if I want to feature their books and give one of them to my readers. Without a doubt, I said yes because I want to rekindle my love in studying Foreign languages and I find their language learning books interesting because some include audio discs, charts, and flashcards! When I visited Tuttle's website, I found a wide selection of books- name it, they have it because they are publishing 150 new titles every year! Whew!

Product Review: Cosmo Cee Vitamin C

     I rarely get coughs, colds, and flu. I guess it's because I take vitamin c every day. I take around 500- 1,000 mg of vitamin c alongside with the fruits and vegetables that I eat. There are so many kinds of vitamin c today and sodium ascorbate is gaining popularity because they dubbed it as the "non-acidic" vitamin c. 

     According to vitaminfoundation.org- Sodium ascorbate is a form of vitamin C that has been bound to the mineral salt sodium. Like vitamin C, the basic properties and health benefits of sodium ascorbate are virtually identical with ascorbic acid, but the mineral salt buffers thus lower the acidity of ascorbic acid. The buffered sodium ascorbate may enter the bloodstream more slowly than ascorbic acid when taken orally. So those who are veering away from ascorbic acid because it causes stomach pain, sodium ascorbate is what you need if you think you need an added boost in your vitamin c intake. I've known COSMO Cee for more than a year now and 3 months ago I decided to take this brand because I'm acidic.

     I've experienced how to become Jessica Minh Anh for a day  through one of a kind hairstyling photo shoot. I became a model of HD Makeup Studio and Academy in one of their hair styling course graduation. I have mixed emotions being a hairstyle model because as you all know having a color-treated, my hair had  been abused many times with chemicals and during the graduation photoshoot, lots and lots of hair sprays and other hair styling products was used to style my tresses. Pulling, tugging, tucking, twisting, and other methods was used to make my hair stand up tall but I'm proud because I did it.

Faux leather shearling and denim jackets

     Nothing gets hotter than a cozy, plush coat, figuratively and literally. Shearling coats are warm and can be worn as soon as the spring season comes to an end. Shearling jackets featuring faux leather are trending these days. 

     Another classic wardrobe staple is the denim jacket that continues to be made available in a variety of designs and style. Denims are one of the top figure-enhancing outerwear for the spring/summer season. These jackets can be dressed up when going out of town or worn casually; you can even consider styles with roll-up or three-quarter sleeves. 

Summer blazers 

     With lightweight and versatile blazers, you can dress down or up for any occasion. For the upcoming season, blazers are available in a variety of styles, including cuff sleeves and relaxed fit to give a slimming appearance. 

     Another trend is the single button blazer featuring ruched sleeves and notched lapels. Other styles include summer blazers with lightweight fabrics available in several styles including three-quarter length sleeves and linen or cotton. The wide range of color and style make them suitable for any occasion. 

Bomber jackets 

     Bomber jackets made with cotton and luxurious silk are expected to be the rage next season. In colors such as Navy blue and styles such as granddad collar, the bomber jacket is going to enable a huge fashion statement with timeless designs. 

     Bomber jackets have been preferred as outerwear for several decades and exciting variations of the trend are made every year. Fabric choices, styles and colors of these jackets vary for different brands, and sometimes even for the same brand. For instance, Burberry makes bomber jackets with cotton and silk blend for the summer season. 

Fleece vest jackets 

     Preppy clothes like button-downs and microfleece jackets is a fair game for most seasons, including the summers, making it grounds for any good outerwear investment. Also, these jackets, apart from promoting style and comfort, enables the wearer to accommodate multiple items courtesy of zip pockets featured on most of them. 

     For medium levels of activity during the winter season or for a season such as fall or spring, a mid-weight fleece jacket will suffice. A lighter jacket will provide flexibility for active sports play, while heavy sized jackets should be reserved for the busy winter days. 

Biker jackets 

     Biker jackets are adorned all over, and 2015 is no different. Look for a style featuring flashy accents and contrast sleeves. Another style that made the biker silhouette again is the jacket featuring embroidery in shiny paillettes and muted colors. 

     Seek biker jackets in tailored silhouettes and dark colors, featuring unique embroidery work. You can wear it with a fit and flare dress and narrow panel silhouettes. Choose plain fabrics for the rest of the attire to enable the embellishment to stand out.
