Bohol is in the central part of the Philippines and is known for its many attractions. One of them is the Chocolate Hills which is one of the nature's wonder. They look like mole hills, or some say, a woman's breast. They are uniform in shape and mostly between 30 to 50 meters high. Each hill is covered with grass and best appreciated during summer season in the Philippines, wherein the grasses turns brown.

Another known attraction that Bohol can offer is its white beaches in Panglao island. Some would say that it is a paradise.It is known forits quite beach resorts and several great wide variety of dive sites. It is one of the old towns in Bohol and history says that it was where the Spaniards went after an unfortunate experience in the nearby island.

The new & natural way to have a beautiful skin

The new & natural way to have a beautiful skin

Not all of us is gifted with a beautiful skin. Most of us needs to consult the dermatologists in order to address skin problems, especially dry skin. Recently, I did try a lot of natural methods just to achieve a supple, soft and beautiful skin. At once, I tried lemon with honey and then applied it to my arms, legs and face. Yes, it did help a little but I think you need to maintain this regimen more often.

After trying all sorts and comparing results with the use of some commercial lotions, none of them has satisfied me. I did remember, once in a long long time ago, I had a friend who was so vain. She told me to try using olive oil, but I just let it pass. This time, I tried it and alas, it really is true.

Here's how:

1. On day time after taking a bath, aplly small amount of olive oil on your arms, legs and face. Let it stay for a few hours.

2. At night time before going to sleep, take a bath again but do not overdo with lathering so that a little amount of oil will stay on your skin for the night. (just like a moisturizer)

In the morning, you'll see the result immediately.


It's not only practical and cheap, it does wonders to your scars too.
