NEED: Canon Inspic S and Canon EOS M50 Mark II Mirrorless Camera

     After five years, the much-needed blogging/vlogging gears upgrade happened last month. The decision did not happen overnight but thinking of what brand to get is a no-brainer because it's like the song "Always Been You" by Imajin, hahaha! There are a couple of brands to consider but Canon has always been in my mind and in my heart. It's what my vlogger friends use and recommend especially if you are looking for a super nice camera to take photos and shoot videos for online content creation. No wonder why the infamous Canon Powershot G7 X Mark is dubbed as the "most recommended vlogging camera" by beauty and lifestyle vloggers when the rise of video content hit the Philippine shores some years ago.

     Fast forward today, I finally get a hold of these babies that I'll be using to create high-quality content in this blog and in our vlogs (my husband is a content creator too a.ka. Pinoy Drunken Chef). Since we are going to use these gears mostly for vlogging, instead of getting the latest Canon G7 X Mark III (that's also really nice if you're a newbie vlogger and prefers a small and compact camera) we opted for another model of Canon camera that's selling like hotcakes since it was launched last February this year- Canon EOS M50 Mark II Mirrorless Camera. Get to know more about Canon EOS M50 Mark II and my other baby Canon Inspic S (that I'll also be using to shoot random photos but in a more fun way) after the jump!

Essential Embrocation and Liniment Oil Brands in the Philippines

     I'm not sure when was the exact day that I heard the words Tito and Tita essentials but when these became word of the mouth a couple of years ago, there are a few things that we associate with them. One of the most popular essentials that have been linked to a Tito and a Tita is embrocation or liniment oil, yes?! These essentials are a must-have in every Tito's bag or Tita's purse and prolly you will agree that we (yes, I'm a certified Tita) can never have too many embrocation and essential oils at home. 

     If my memory serves me right, I've been using embrocation and liniment oils since I was in high school because of vascular headaches and migraine attacks. I'm not new to these essentials and I have tried many brands in the past already. I have a love-hate relationship with some brands because of minor side effects like an intolerable burning sensation when applied to the temples of my head or skin irritation. Other than that, I love the cooling, relaxing, and comforting feeling whenever I use or apply them for aches and pains. Sharing a short feature of the brands that became a mainstay in my Tita essentials stash below.

Virginia Festive Hams #TuloyPaRinAngPasko

     2020 is not yet cancelledt as what many of us would call or describe a year that has a series of unfortunate events. We experienced fear, anxiety, pain, heartbreaks, or loss but there are so many things to be thankful for. I will never forget this year because so many things happened in the past twelve months in our family and in our country as well.

     This may not be the best year for all of us but one thing is for sure- we are thankful. We are thankful that we are healthy, we are grateful that we still have jobs, and we are lucky because our family is complete. Days from now, we are going to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ, and there's a reason to celebrate despite these trying times- to give joy, love, and hope to others. We may not celebrate it the way it used to be but with Virginia Festive Hams and Virginia Noche Buena Treats, the celebration still continues. This year, let's be reminded that "Tuloy Pa Rin Ang Pasko, kasama si Virginia." Sharing simple tips on how to celebrate the holiday season with Virginia Festive Hams and Noche Buena Treats after the jump!

I think it's time to give them a break and give the much-needed care they deserve with the new Love Beauty and Planet Liquid Handwashes.
