Say Goodbye to Dry Lips with Mentholatum LipCare

     Our lips are always exposed to the elements and come in contact with food, substances in the air and so much more. They're also prone to dryness and chapping because they lack oil glands.

     The best way to treat dry lips is to hydrate and nourish them with a good lip balm. Kiss dry and chapped lips goodbye with Mentholatum LipCare products. Apply it before you put on your lipstick or after you've applied all your skincare products. Your lips deserve the same TLC as your skin. More information about these lip balms below.

Mentholatum Therapy Lip Balm and Mentholatum Therapy Lip Gel 

• Not only repair and protect chapped lips with camphor for effective healing against dryness and windburn. 
• They also provide comfort from the soreness and burning caused by exposure to the sun, wind, and harsh weather. 
• Both have SPF 15 UV Protection and menthol that provides a cooling and refreshing feel to lips.

Feature: Wonderhome Naturals

     I’m a self-confessed clean freak and my husband calls me ‘foreign contaminant’ (one of the robots in Wall-E) every time he sees me cleaning non-stop at home that's why I'm so happy when receiving cleaning products for home care, personal care, and lifestyle use. Ironically, some of the cleaning products we use at home though formulated to kill dangerous germs, contain ingredients that, even with short-term use, can irritate the eyes, skin, and throat, and cause headaches, dizziness, vomiting, and trigger asthma with their strong, chemical scents. 

     Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), gases emitted from cleaning supplies and pesticides, also pose a huge threat to our health. Long-term exposure and inhalation could lead to cancer, kidney and liver damage, as well as damage to the central nervous system. Having that said, this promising brand is leading a clean revolution and making waves of changes, not waste! Introducing Wonderhome Naturals, a proudly Filipino brand that brings home and personal care products powered by plant probiotics. More about the brand and the products they sent me below.

Herbalife Nutrition E-Wellness Tour on Inner and Outer Nutrition

     Have you ever wondered why you easily get tired as the years go by? I think it's common for both men and women in their late 30's to experience changes in the biological functions of the body. When I was in my 20's I feel so energized even if I only have less than six hours of sleep. I can think normally and don't feel exhausted doing hour chores from day til night. Fast forward today, I'll be turning 40 soon and even if I have a restful sleep at night, my body tells me to take a nap mid-afternoon or when it's dinner time. I also noticed that my appetite goes up and down depending on my hormonal cycle.

     As the body ages, it undergoes many changes and so does the nutrition it needs. While a balanced diet and an active lifestyle are important at any age, there are challenges specific for each age that need to be addressed. In the most recent Herbalife Nutrition E-Wellness Tour, Susan Bowerman, Senior Director, Worldwide Nutrition, Education and Training of Herbalife Nutrition, and Laura Chacon-Garbato, Chairwoman of the Outer Nutrition Advisory Board of Herbalife Nutrition, shared how eating habits and lifestyle choices can affect our body and skin. Sharing some highlights of the event that you need to know and understand after the jump!

Planning for the Perfect Lockdown Date with Your Significant Other

     Going on regular dates with your significant other is one of the many ways you can keep the romance alive and strengthen your bond and commitment to one another. As you explore different dining places and travel to popular destinations within and outside Metro Manila together, you and your partner can experience much-needed timeout from your day-to-day routine and better see each other in a new and exciting light.

     Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic drastically changed everything, including the options for outings among Filipino couples. Even today government restrictions on movement and gatherings are still widely implemented in many places around the Philippines. That means candlelit dinners in fancy restaurants, watching concerts and musicals, and other similar activities are no longer viable options for the time being.
