The Versatile Sheepskin Rug

Sheepskin Rugs

Add a touch of tradition or a stylish centerpiece with sheepskin rugs. An ideal choice for many styles, these rugs are warm, elegant, and versatile. Whether draped across a living room sofa, lain at the foot of a bed, or used as a backing on a rocker, the iconic look and feel of sheepskin provide a distinctive and instantly-recognizable focal point in any room.

With a softer-than-a-cloud feel and a thick, gorgeous texture, this material provides a natural alternative to synthetic fibers, whilst adding the unmistakable touch of luxury. These rugs can serve as affordable, long-lasting centerpieces, but can also take a backseat role in adding coziness and comfort and accentuating your existing furnishings.

A stunning array of color options allows for variety and flexibility in placement. Natural hues such as whites, browns, and blacks complement a room’s neutral palette or enhance rustic vibes, whilst trendier colors such as rose, lilac, and champagne imbue a space with a unique and modern twist. Numerous size options increase the versatility of these rugs, allowing them to be used for a variety of purposes. Due to their versatility, they also pair well with a variety of other furnishings, making them a good option for redecoration projects. Use them to add a new pop of color or a unique counterpoint to one of your rooms today.

In place of area rugs, sheepskin rugs help prevent the loss of heat through floors, aiding your budget and providing you with an eco-friendly option! This hypoallergenic material has a myriad of scientifically proven health benefits. It aids in regulating body temperature, maintaining healthy skin, and provides a natural bacterial repellent. It also contains natural lanolin. Lanolin gives sheepskin water-resistant properties, protecting it against spills and increasing its natural durability for greater cost-effectiveness compared to synthetic alternatives.

Care is a snap, much simpler and easier than the treatments synthetic rugs require. When accidents happen, sheepskin rugs can be hand-washed, dry-cleaned, or washed on the wool cycle in a regular washer. With regular simple and easy care, their natural thickness and durability help them to outlast synthetic alternatives, further increasing their cost-efficacy.

Find joy in using these rugs as blankets and curling up under one on a cold winter evening in front of the fire. Natural materials such as sheepskin have been scientifically proven to enhance sleep. They can also be used as classy wall hangings to add flair and a sense of drama, whilst complementing your personal taste and style. Their warmth, softness, and stunning texture are unparalleled among both natural and synthetic alternatives. Invest today in a well-made, authentic rug that will lend you an iconic look, stand the test of time, and serve you for years to come. Visit City Cows website for more information.

Our Manila Ocean Park adventure

entrance

We were finally able to use the complimentary tickets from Ocean Park courtesy of PJI. The tickets are limited to Oceanarium visit. But we’re fine with it because they’re free. 🙂

Just before we entered the building, I’ve got a little reminder from my daughter to limit taking pictures inside the Oceanarium as I might not enjoy the view. But I couldn’t help it. It’s not everyday that we get to see those beautiful marine creatures.

We went further to see the aquarium tunnel where we had a full view of various species of fishes in all shapes and sizes. We were awed by the sight of stingrays that swim above our heads and at the sides. We even had photos of them at the background. They are truly a wonderful God’s creation.

We stayed for a while in the area (I guess it’s the back side of the Ocean Park) where we had our first family selfie with the Manila Bay as backdrop.

We also checked out a few items at the shopping area. I bought an eco bag as souvenir. We ate dinner at North Park Noodle House (no available picture to show because we were too hungry to take one) before we head home. It was indeed another enjoyable and memorable day for the family.

Our next adventure, hopefully, will be at the Star City. Remember that we still have the ride-all-you-can tickets, still courtesy of PJI. Yay!

What to do with uprooted trees

People affected by typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) may find something good from uprooted tree trunks. Besides using the broken tree trunks to build new houses, they may also use them to create toys for the little ones. If you have time to do these things in your spare time, you can create and carve whatever inspiration you have in mind. Or if you already have access to the internet (for areas where power has been restored) you can find wood cutouts designs on the internet. Kids love toys whatever size and shapes. You can sell the finished products for additional source of income.
