Product Review: Healthmax Care Mangosteen Plus 8 Berries

Saturday, August 17, 2019

     How do we define a healthy lifestyle? I presume your immediate answers are proper nutrition and exercise but did you know that health and wellness come in a total package? It’s a balanced combination of food, exercise, sleep, emotion, and food supplement. We need to nourish our body with the food that we eat but there are individuals who have a hard time getting those vitamins and supplements from food. 

     There are many food supplements available in the market today and there’s one where the superstar ingredients are mangosteen and berries. I'm sure that some of you know the amazing health benefits of Mangosteen and adding eight (8) kinds of berries to make the mixture supremely anti-oxidant rich to make Healthmax Care Mangosteen Plus 8 Berries more effective for best results. I took this supplement for 3 months to address my 7cm cyst and for immune system booster. More information about Healthmax Care Mangosteen Plus 8 Berries and my thoughts after the jump.

     I believe that traveling is important because it gives a once in a lifetime experience seeing the beauty of the country or the place that you'll visit. It's also the time where you'll get to spend time with your family and have that so-called 'me-time' while creating memories for a lifetime. This is one of the many reasons why I work hard and save a lot in order for me to treat my family for an annual out of the country vacation.

     In our second year, we decided to celebrate my son's 10th birthday in Legoland Malaysia. We had our 4-day vacation last June 11-14, 2019. It was a Singapore-Malaysia trip because based on my research, the fastest way to reach Legoland Malaysia is to travel by train or bus from Singapore. I will muse more about this awesome experience after the jump!

Beside U Bags featuring Tomey Crossbody Bag

Thursday, May 23, 2019

     Aside from coffee, milk tea, and eyebrow, there's one thing that I can call my life and that is my trusty bag. “Dala mo nanaman buong bahay nyo”- what friends keep on saying because I always bring large sized bags wherever I go. I can’t leave the house without my trusty bag that has everything I need to take on the daily challenges.

     Since I always bring a huge bag, the weight takes a toll on my shoulder and back causing pain. I know that it's not good because I'm causing more injury to my mild scoliosis. I also noticed that the bags I have now doesn't compliment my outfit these days. If I'm going to look for a new bag, I want something that is functional, stylish, and secure and that's what the brand Beside U have in mind when they started selling bags. A brand that designed their bags with the goal to earn a place by your side. Sharing more about Beside U and the bag that I'm sporting in the photo below :)

     Hello dearies! Did you notice that the beauty trends last year like the Korean glass skin, the Asian drunk blush, the return of glitter were hardly felt natural for Filipina skin? Yes, they were great creative outlets but is not flattering to most Filipina skin tones.

     It’s time to go full circle with a fab palette that shows who we truly are. Luckily, Avon makes it easier to embrace #EveryShadeOfYou. They just come up with a new line of nude lipsticks from Avon True Color, and it’s as gorgeous as it gets with our natural skin tone.

Cheese Platter Game On with Danes Cheese Ball

Monday, December 24, 2018

     What's one family Christmas tradition that you're excited every year? I bet it's preparing the food you will eat on Christmas Eve. Families all over the world gather to spend the holidays together because there’s nothing like the warmth of home. While no holiday celebration would be complete without family reunions, this is the best time to introduce new and fun traditions to make this holiday season even more memorable than last year’s.

     It’s a tradition that we serve spaghetti and salad on Noche Buena but this year, I’ve decided to make a little twist- instead of preparing pasta and salad, I told my mama to make a small cheese platter for the kids and adults to indulge during and after Noche Buena.

     Wearing makeup should enhance your feature, give self-esteem, and make you more beautiful. It should bring out the best in you not the stress in you! Do you have sensitive skin that prevents you from wearing makeup? I feel you because I saw how my sister’s sensitive skin reacts to makeup and it’s really bad! Red and itchy bumps appear after application that's why she's forced to wash her face immediately.

     She's been struggling for years in finding the right brand that will not irritate her skin. There are brands in the market that cater to individuals who have sensitive skin but it's not budget friendly and offers limited color selection. Fast forward today, a European brand has landed on Philippine shores- Bell HYPOAllergenic or Bell Cosmetics. It is a hypoallergenic line that uses very gentle formulas and high-quality ingredients for their products. Know more about Bell HYPOAllergenic after the jump and the sensitive skin's must-haves :)

Product Review: Eternity Rose 24 Karat Gold Dipped Rose

Monday, November 05, 2018

     The most wonderful time of the year is fast approaching and one of the things that make it more exciting is shopping for gifts. I presume that everyone has a list and written on it are the possible gift/s that he/she will receive. What if that person on the list already has everything? This is one of the dilemmas that I also encounter when buying a gift- what to give?

     When giving a gift, I always consider three things: something that is unique, useful, or one that will last a lifetime. There are so many useful items and a wide selection of unique gift items to give but there's one thing that I recently discovered, 24 Karat Gold Dipped Rose from Eternity Rose- a beautiful and one of a kind gift that will last a lifetime. YES! A natural rose that is dipped in 24 karat gold. More details about the product after the jump.

     "E di sa Dun-ai"!!! Prolly you've heard this or don't.

So when someone asks you "where to eat in Lucban the Korean Way? The no-brainer answer is Dun-ai! Yes, at Dun-ai Hotel and Restaurant.

     Dun-ai Hotel and Restaurant is a local lodging and restaurant located across Kamay ni Hesus.

Feature: Star Margarine App-My Star Kid Adventure

Thursday, September 27, 2018

     When I was a kid, my grandmother would always tell me to sleep early and eat nutritious food so that I will grow healthy and tall. The default height increasing vitamin in our house is Star Margarine. I always see her mixing a tablespoon of the yellow colored spread in our rice or in my pandesal.

     I miss my grandmother, looking back at the past, methinks they are really doing their best to give everything that we need in order to grow happy and healthy. Life is so simple back then compared to a complicated life we have now. Modern technology is already a part of our lives and kids these days are so into gadgets and gaming consoles that in some situations, it hinders important aspect of their childhood- healthy eating habits and brain development. BUT, I discovered an app that will show you the brighter side of technology- learning while having fun with Star Margarine App- My Star Kid Adventure!

Product Review: Danarra Aromatherapy Oil

Wednesday, September 12, 2018

     Stress is already a part of us. It is inevitable but we can manage it in different ways. Let's take for example the Filipino workers with 9-6 pm jobs. Their day begins with an average of two-hour commute to the office and another two-hour commute to get home. Can you see the picture? Days begin with stress and ends with stress!

     I'm a stay at home mom and I'm experiencing stress too! From daily routine house chores to parenting and daughter duties, I experience stress every day. To keep me sane, I look for ways on how to cope and manage it. Some people enjoy a nice dessert, go for a workout, watch a movie, or spend time with friends and family. These are effective but not accessible immediately, right? There's one thing that young professionals including me have in our bags or pockets- a soothing balm that comes in many forms. The trending now- aromatherapy oil!
