SMART AND EASY WAYS TO MANAGE YOUR FINANCES THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

As the holiday season nears, the excitement of the upcoming festivities is building up as well. After all, who doesn’t feel the holiday cheer when buying, giving and receiving gifts; seeing and spending time with family and friends; hearing Christmas carols being played or simply seeing the streets all lit up with bright lights at night?

But along with this comes the inevitable stress as traffic gets worse, malls get more crowded with shoppers, managing your schedule to accommodate invitations for a Holiday get-together from family and friends  gets tiring, and keeping in line with your budget and spending gets trickier—all of which dampens the holiday cheer.

ALL I DON'T NEED FOR CHRISTMAS IS FLU

Tis’ the season to be jolly because it’s that time of the year again. Jingle bells, mistletoes, Santa Claus, and now, here comes the flu season too! Every year, we learn different news about new strains of flu viruses, government campaigns to control it, and new medicines to fight it. You may still think that flu is as simple as colds, but no, it is far more serious than that. 

Influenza or “flu” is a contagious illness caused by the Influenza virus that lives in the nose and throat. It can be transmitted when a person with flu sneezes and coughs the viruses off to the air. In some cases, it can also be spread just by standing close with an infected person or by speaking closely to them.

FILL YOUR HOME WITH LOVE, RAISE YOUR CHILD A HERO #WEAREHOMEMADE

The values formation of a child begins at home. Home is where he learns what it means to be kind, to do good and to feel loved even when others show otherwise.

This is the story of Efren Peñaflorida, and how his mom filled their home with loving guidance. As a result, Efren overcame childhood challenges and grew up with a heart for others.
