14 Years Blog Anniversary!

This is the time to celebrate! I can't believe it , this blog of mine is  already 14 years old and counting since January of 2017!!! And what makes it more special is that this is my VERY FIRST DOMAIN BLOG! 

 I first started blogging in 2005  using BRAVEJOURNAL.COM but sad to say that it was already deleted since its revamped. A premium account is needed to save it but it's not my priority to upgrade at that time. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to backup or saved some of my earlier blog entries so that makes me sad.

From Blogging to Vlogging

 Wow, life has been so busy for me these past few days and years that I wasn't able to post anything here. There are many things that happened in the last years and as we all know we are in a state of Pandemic since last year 2020. Covid-19 started in Dec 2019 in Wuhan China and rapidly spread all over the world. Right now, our country is still coping to eradicate this deadly virus. There are many health protocols that we need to comply like wearing mask, face shield all the time when we go out. Social distancing, frequent washing of hands and even sanitizing with alcohol is a must as well.

2020 is a very difficult year for most of us, we are all quarantined and stuck in our houses for many days so that virus will not spread rapidly. With nothing to do, I became a plant mom and also have tried baking but oh dear my heart is not for them.

Since youtube is very popular and with nothing much to do, I revived my sleeping Youtube channel and it was on June 13, 2020 that posted a video of me reviewing a hand mixer that I bought for my baking journey. My Youtube channel is TITA JEN . I vlog about shopping, product review, some travel videos and food.

However, depending on your vacation preferences, recovering for a few days by a pool might be a pastime you would do anyway, and having a bonus of feeling better about your body when you get back home might suddenly seem more appealing.

Thailand has really been making itself a name for leading experts in cosmetic enhancement over the last couple of decades.

Ferberization at a Glance

Sleepless nights. Nightly tantrums. Groggy mornings. Do any of these sound familiar? For a lot of new parents, this is the story of their lives for the first year of their baby’s birth. But these issues can be addressed and resolved by initiating the Ferber Method...well, according to some parents. Ferberization or the Ferber method is sleep resolution training technique for infants that are 5 months and above.

The Ferber method relies on a few key principles which include; 

Alone Time: This is the period of time when the infant is left alone in the room. Some or a lot of crying is expected when the baby is left alone. The length of time starts at 5 minutes for the first 3 days then increases by 5 minutes every night until the baby assimilates the training.

Check in time: This is the short length of time when the parent can check in on the baby and offer some comfort. The parent may choose to sing a lullaby to give the baby reassurance of not being abandoned.

It’s also best to make sure the infant is comfortable by feeding him and keeping the environment free from distress-causing factors. It is also suggested that the lights are put out and a night light used instead.

It’s easy to throw in the towel after a few nights but persistence, as Dr.Ferber thinks,is the key. Endeavour to seek the permission of a pediatrician before practicing the Ferber Method

Making The Living Room Fun

If you are on a budget but still want to change the look of the home, then consider starting with the living room. A general contractor can go over the details that you can change in the room so that it has a new look from the lighting to the flooring and walls. Start with the basic details, such as the painting or changing the flooring, before changing the furniture or adding new accessories. The windows should also be considered when looking at remodeling the living room as this is an area of the home where you want to have as much natural light as possible since you'll be spending the most time here.

If the living room is dingy and doesn't have a lot of color, a fresh coat of paint can do wonders. Add texture to the walls of the living room with ceiling medallions that are attached and painted over or by using a sponge to create a fun look to the walls. Once you have the color of the walls, you can start looking at the carpet or other types of flooring that you might want to have. Hardwood flooring is ideal if you want something that is easy to keep clean. There are laminate flooring options that give you the hardwood look without spending a lot of money. Go with a lighter color no matter what kind of floor you choose as this will create the illusion of a larger room.

Darker furniture sets the scene, such as black furniture or a dark brown, along with cushions that are light in color that will add depth to the room. Pillows with a graphic design can create a beautiful scene in the living room instead of using simple colors. Your living room might have a perfect plan where all of the furniture is in one place. Take a different approach by putting your furniture in a diagonal position in a corner or changing the angle of the coffee table or the end tables. Don't be afraid to make the living room a fun place to be during the day as this is where you'll share memories with friends and family.
