5 Reasons To Visit The Philippines

The south-east Asian country of the Philippines is unfortunately one of the most over looked. Here are my top 3 reasons to visit this beautiful country.

1. Volcanoes
- The Philippines is an archipelago of more than 7000 islands, with the majority of these being of volcanic origin. There are 37 volcanoes, 18 of them are still active. The three most known are all located on the Northern island of Luzon, Mount Pinatubo, Mount Mayon and the Taal volcano. The mass number of volcanoes, results in large mineral deposits in the country, as well as rare rock formations from the pyroclastic flow.

2. Animals
- The Philippines is home to many tropical animals such as the orange clown fish, Philippine Eagle, whale sharks, varanus, other small lizards, green sea turtles, fruit bat, flying fox, flying lemur, water buffalo's, and the smallest monkey in the world, the Tarsier.

3. Coral & Beaches
- One of the most beautiful beaches in the Philippines is the pristine area of Palawan, also Boracay. Both of these beaches have miles of white sand, and clear blue green waters. Everyone from families to teenage party goers can find something for them at the Filipino beaches.

A Review On Spanx Shape Wear

Women across the globe, along with myself are rejoicing for one of this centuries most brilliant and innovative creations, Spanx. Spanx Body Shape wear is a brand of footless tights created by American Sara Blakely to lift, suck, tighten, and create a 'faux-flawless' figure. To anyone who has ever worked tirelessly to prefect their body, and still is taunted by less than smooth final results, breathe a sigh of relief. A quality undergarment needs to have the following qualities: the proper colours, comfort, the lack of panty anti-circulatory issues, and it must be fashionable, all of which the Spanx company has perfected. Although this product may sound perfect, the product does have a few flaws. One of them being the price, which for a pair of underwear is quite steep, with a pair of Power Panties going for the pocket punching price of $30.00 USD. Another drawback speaks specifically to Canadian consumers. Trying to find and purchase these fabulous underwear can put somewhat of a skidmark on your day.
