St. Peter Life Plan: Is it Worth the Investment?

Five years ago my mother decided to invest in a memorial plan for her and my father. She bought  two Life Plan with Money Back worth almost 100,000pesos each and payable for five years. Just last month, my mom announced that she's done paying for the plans and now she's investing with the memorial lot.

Why am I sharing this information to you?

You know, I am very proud and very thankful of the parents that God blessed me to have. Both my parents are hard-working and goal-oriented. They were very courageous in this memorial investment plan with St. Peter for they don't want us (me and my siblings) to worry about the future.

Finding the Right Wedding Dress for Your Body Type Now

Hello there! I know it took me almost two weeks to update this blog. I’ve been very  busy the whole June and I couldn’t find any time writing for my blogs. Both SavingsPinay and IzzaGlino had suffered due to the unexpected projects that came to me. So now I’m back (from outer space!!!) and ready to bring you new contents.

The question goes like this, “Ms. Izza, I’ve read your Wedding Series and I am on my preparation for my December wedding. Ask ko lang kung anu yung best way para makapili ka ng wedding dress?"
