Support Filipino Fighters at One Fighting Championship Rise of Heroes

     During my childhood days, I've been a fan of wrestling and martial arts that's why when Ms. Charmaine of One Fighting Championship invited me to the open media workout of ONE FC fighters Eduard Folayang, Jujeath Nagaowa and Eugene Toquero last April 2, at Ultimate Fitness Metrowalk, I was ecstatic and very excited. Since this blog also tackles some fitness and health issues, I didn't hesitate to accept the invitation and immediately shared the good news to the hubby who's also an avid fan of boxing, wrestling and mixed martial arts. To be honest, I really don't know the fighters that's why we had a  little research on them before we made an interview. If you're a One Fighting Championship fanatic, prolly you already know these fighters and their backgrounds. I'm sure you know how they've started training for One FC and how many fights they have won. As much as I wanted to give details on these players, I'll focus this post on what happened during the open media workout. The hubby made a short video on Eduard Folayang's power-house kicks and Eugene Toquero's moves. Will also show some photos of Jujeath Nagaowa- the first One Fighting Championship female fighter in the Philippines. It's her debut fight so I guess our 100% support means a lot! So without further ado, here's what happened during the open media workout, I'm impressed with these fighters who are very determined and confident to win against their opponents.

5 Countries Which Spend More on Weight Loss

5 Countries which spend more on weight loss

     With the increased number of problems that are resulting out of the obesity or weight gain, there is increased awareness in different nations and the people staying in them. Obviously, the countries that rank top in obesity percent of people are also likely to spend more on the strategies that help in weight loss. But, some assumptions might go wrong due to which the return of investment that is spent in weight loss strategies might not be so impressive. This low ROI could be due to several reasons like choosing wrong strategy, not implementing the strategy in a right way, not educating the people about the important of controlling the weight and several other unnoticed issues that would cause the failure of the strategies employed for weight loss.

Let us look at those top 5 countries ranked in terms of spending expenditure on obese.

Coca-Cola Spotify- Music For Your Breaktime

     Filipinos love music! If I'll make a survey about the latest music hits in our country today I'm sure the participants can name more than ten songs may it be foreign or local. Music also plays an important role in our life. It can heal a broken heart or make us feel relax after a long tiring day. I'm also a music lover but the genre that I like is not on the mainstream or the common pop-rock-rnb trio. It's bossa nova, jazz, house and electric music to name a few.

Product Review: Natura Organics Fruit Bio-Active Complex C- Miracle Body Polish

     Ah body scrubs! First thing that comes to my mind when someone says exfoliate. There are different types of body scrubs in the market today and I'm sure you're having a hard time looking for the one. I've tried more than 5 brands of body scrubs before and I can say that based on the scrubber used as the main ingredient, you can see really tell which one will agree to your skin. There are salt type body scrubs, paste type with very fine beads, cream type with fruit seeds or fiber as exfoliant and etc, etc. I presume that you all know I'm an avid fan of organic products and I'm still on search for the best or at least better alternative to chemically-harsh skin care products in the market today. As for the body scrubs, I think I haven't found the best in terms of the quality and price but I've discovered one of the cost-effective especially if you're into luxurious body scrubs. I'm a cheapskate that's why even if the product is worth the price, I'm still having thoughts if I'll push through with it or just look for another alternative.

     I think this body polish comes with a hefty price tag compared to the brands that I've tried before but if you'll look closely to the ingredients, the natural ingredients used are of high quality and yes they are expensive too. Take for example the grapeseed fiber used as scrubber, I love eating grapes but whatever season we have the price of this fruit is high compared to other fruits in the market. But if you have the money to splurge a little on a skin care product that contains effective ingredients then I recommend you try this body polish. So without further ado, here's the review of Natura Organics Fruit Bio-Active Complex C-Miracle Body Polish. Click CONTINUE READING to know more about the product.

Product Review: Natura Organics Cellular Radiance Intensive Hand Repair Cream SPF50

     My hands are the most overworked/abused part of my body because I have hands-on job everyday. From the time I wake up, my hands are ready to do different tasks like cleaning the house, washing the dishes that includes cleaning feeding bottles and if time permits do a light laundry. Aside from mommy duties, I also spent more than five hours on the computer typing articles to be published on this blog. I admit that at an early age I have vein-y hands. My grand mother said I got it from the stress. I'm also allergic to laundry detergents and dish-washing liquids that's why my hands are dry and itchy after washing the dishes and doing the laundry. If you'll ask me if I have a separate skin care product to lessen the itchiness and dryness on my hands, my answer would be none not until Natura Organics sent me a tub of their hand cream. Thanks to Ms. Ophelia of Ophelia_NaturaOrganics for this heaven-sent product. 

      I'm an OC mommy but I'm not that vain in taking good care of my hands. All I have in mind  is that the lotions that I'm using in my body will also do the job in the moisturizing department of my hands. I'm truly wrong because hand creams are very essential and important part of ones skin care. I'm lucky that I've got the first dibs on this product from Natura Organics and I'm very much confident to say that this hand cream made a big difference on the texture and tone of my hands. Now I agree to the phrase "yung kamay mo parang hindi sanay sa trabahong bahay" (Your hand looks like not used to household chores). Even the hubby felt the difference on the texture of my hands one time and asked what did I do to the flaky and dry part on the sides of my fingers. I told him my secret-now-not-secret weapon to combat dry and irritated hands. Excited to see the full details of my review? Click CONTINUE READING and smile!
