Here’s a great reason to take off those hot tub or spa covers more often, aside from spa hot tub therapeutic benefits, studies have shown that soaking in a hot tub for just 30 minutes a day can help you lose weight. No need to do other exercise or outside routines just a 30 minute soak six days a week.

How do you lose weight in a hot tub? Soaking in a spa simulates exercise by dilating blood vessels and promoting better circulation, as it relaxes the skin and muscles. The spa’s moving water stimulates your muscles, this slow stimulation causes you to gradually lose weight. It can also increase the heart rate, while lowering blood pressure.

Interior designer

Our newly wed cousins invited us to see their new house yesterday. They bought a two bedroom house through Pag-IBIG home financing program. Since the subdivision is near our office we decided to drop by after office hours before we went home.

My cousin was at the living room when we arrived. When we entered the house I immediately noticed the interior paint color, the wall decorations, the basement floor tiles, the curtains and some of the furniture. They are all very modern and with class. I’m not a surprised since my cousin is a professional interior designer.

I remember it was also my dream to become a professional interior designer but because due to financial reason I ended in a different profession. Anyway, there are other means to learn more about interior designing, especially now that everything is available in the internet. I can still learn and enhance my skill even without the formal schooling.

Advantages of steel buildings

Are steel buildings earthquake proof? My 11 year old son asked last night. I really don’t know what is the exact answer to his question. I also wonder how durable are the steel buildings are when a high intensity earthquake strikes compared to buildings made of concrete. But one thing i know for sure, they do not collapsed as fast as concrete buildings, so i believe buildings made of steel is a safer place not just against earthquake but for other natural disasters like tornadoes, wind storms and sand storms.

Other advantages of steel buildings are their being resistant to termites. Also a steel building is very easy to assemble, with concrete, wooden, and brick buildings you will take a lot of time in the construction and will cost more due to labor.

Happy New Year!
