When choosing a condominium community, a savvy homebuyer will do quite a bit of homework—from developer reputation, to location, to facilities and amenities. However, it pays to look into one more detail that is equally important: the type of land the structure is built on. With several condominium projects currently being constructed and more yet to be built in Davao City, there are many options for homebuyers. But beyond the beautiful landscape, deluxe amenities, and strategic location, which one stands on stable ground? Vista Residences’ landmark condominium development, Northpoint, is built on solid bedrock. This British colonial themed condominium community gives its homeowners the assurance that their condo home is securely built on solid ground. Northpoint currently has three buildings and two more towers, Liverpool and the recently launched 10-storey Bradford will soon rise on this elevated land at the junction of Buhangin Road and JP Laurel Avenue, Bajada.

My Skin Origins’ Scar Remover

Written by louiseinthehouse on February 27, 2015

Remembering my childhood days, I used to have a lot of little round scars on my legs due to insect bites, and of course from the wounds one would usually get as a kid ( I was super clumsy then!) . And before, I only had the good old sebo de macho (skin emollient known to erase scars) to cling to, which I religiously applied on these scars. However, the downside is, scars only lightened a little and it takes a lot of time for scars to be totally invisible on the skin, if it will. Fast forward to today, I’ve been hearing a lot of good reviews on this award-winning product of My Skin Origins, the Scar Remover. This is specially formulated to reduce and diminish the appearance of scars. A lot of its users swear with this soothing cream which is enriched with the botanical ingredients such as Macadamia Ternofilia Seed […]
