Finance Tip: Choosing Your Insurance Company

Pia Magalona, the widow of former Francis Magalona spoke of her personal experience about insurance. Here is her message that I hope will make an impact to readers of Handy Tips and Hints.



I could not agree with her more. It is always better to make sure our loved ones are taken cared of long after you have gone. But a word of caution. It is always wise to make sure that who you are getting insured with is a reputable company. You can get affordable life insurance rates just about anywhere, but it will be of your best interest that you get insured with the one company who has a good name.

Scrapbooking and Milestones

Milestones are treasures. A family looks forward to them and captures them through pictures and videos. Scrapbooking is one way to put them all together. Nowadays scrapbooking has gone digital and is ever more affordable.

A milestone that a family would love to have captured is a child’s graduation day. It will be the neatest to have photo graduation invitations given out to loved ones just in time for your child’s special day. Even the graduation invites and pictures will be nice additions to a family’s growing scrapbook.

Where to Shop Online

There are a handful of online sites that we can do our shopping. This is by far one of the most convenient things the internet has offered mankind. While a lot of merchant websites have come up, it is also wise to choose where you are buying from.

One thing you can actually take note of is the website’s security protection. If they can at all offer payment’s via PayPal, that would be best because there will be no need for you to divulge your credit card details to the web. One of the better sites to check out is Best Buy, you are sure to get your money’s worth when you buy from reputable entities as opposed to sites that have just come up.

Insurance Tip: Avail of Force Majeure Feature

We will be paying off our home insurance before the month ends. The cost of the premium is almost a hundred dollars. But truth be told, we rather that we will never have to make a claim. This time around we are paying two grand more on the home insurance premium because we availed of the feature "force majeure." After the Ondoy incident last September 2009, wherein our house submerged in flood, there is no way we're taking chances. Although our insurance agent was so sure that it's not going to happen in the next 30 years. I can only wish we availed of the "force majeure" feature right from the start.

When it comes to getting your home insured, it is really the homeowner's call and it is always wise to have yours insured.

Business Tip: Keep Brand Fresh

Brand launches usually mean free stuff for people to try out a company’s product. It is always important that as regular as your merchandise is, a company should be able to give it a fresh kind of branding that will stick to their heads. Whether you give away something as practical and usual as promotional mugs or as tech savvy as mini laptop speakers – the imprinted logo should be unmistakable.

Health Tip: Vitamin B12 to Prevent Hair Loss

All natural shampoos are not really good after all. This is my conclusion after having tried at least 4 all organic shampoos – each of which encouraged hair fall. If we come down to the bottom of it, hair loss is caused by Vitamin B12 deficiency. It is best to check with your dermatologist for the best care and vitamin for hair loss. Then up your diet on eggs, meat and poultry. The nutrition that we get from these food are what our hair needs.

It is always wise to consult with a doctor before taking any kind of supplement. If you hope to be more lean and fit, it is safer to get to it the natural way. Diet and exercise might not be the easiest thing to get committed on, but they are the safest, with least side effects.

Some though still resort to using muscle supplements, which cannot really be all that bad. However the consumption of some brands, can harm the general system of our body. It is only best to not just listen to personal recommendations of friends but also ask your doctor about it.


Health Tip: Zinc Supplement in Your Diet

Some people are just more prone to having skin problems, from acne to whiteheads to eczema. Keeping stress to a minimum may prove to be of help. Although this might be a not very easy task, a person prone to skin problems should take extra effort either by doing meditation or even listening to relaxing music throughout the day.

Before trying out eczema treatments available in the market, make sure you take enough zinc supplements.

Education Tip: Online Teaching Degree

I am a graduate of one of the more reputable universities in Manila. The business degree that I finished did not prove to be very me, which is why I went right back to school to earn education credits for me to be able to take the board for teachers.

If I had the choice before, I would have chosen an online teaching degree in a heartbeat. I did not know yet it existed before but after having browsed through the site of WGU, it occurred to me that this can come in really handy for people like me, who take care of a lot of things – home schooling, working from home and the ministry.

The convenience of an online degree is definitely one of the many valuable contributions advanced technology has brought to the people.
