     Hi moms and dad! Have you heard the latest news from Promil Pre-School? Raise your hands if you do coz they're back and ready to search for lil kids who will shine brightly showcasing their talents and skills online. Promil Pre-School I-Shine Kapamilya host Dimples Romana is back together with the mentor for Visual Arts Xian Lim and new mentor for Performing Arts Karylle to search for kids who have the potential to shine with their talents through Promil Pre-School I-Shine’s latest online talent camp beginning October 5.

     For its fourth season, Promil Pre-School and ABS-CBN are bringing the talent search closer to more parents and their children by launching the first online talent camp (www.ishine.abs-cbn.com) to encourage and help mothers to nurture and develop their children’s gifts through comprehensive workshops.

Promil Pre-School and ABS-CBN Launched I-Shine Online Talent Camp

   
     This year, the talent camp expands as workshops will now include lessons in both Performing Arts (singing, dancing, acting, music), and Visual Arts (painting, drawing, crafting). 

     “A mom’s role is always important. My mom is my shining light and I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for her, that’s why launching Promil Pre-School I-Shine as an online talent camp is a great idea because this will be more accessible to more moms and they can be more involved in nurturing the talents of their kids,” Visual Arts mentor Xian Lim shared.

     To join the online talent camp, moms need to register and choose where to enroll their kids, whether performing arts or visual arts in the website (www.ishine.abs-cbn.com).

     Once enrolled in the online course, moms and kids will have the chance to watch and learn from video lessons each week taught by celebrity mentors Karylle, John Prats, and Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo for Performing Arts and Xian Lim, Agot Isidro, and Christina Dy for Visual Arts.

     Promil Pre-School I-Shine talent camp will have weekly video challenges for students in line with the workshop, which will serve as their audition videos. 

     Students who will emerge as the Promil Pre-School I-Shine online talent camp champions (one winner per category) will be chosen by the mentors and will win a cash prize, a roster of TV guest appearances, and a contract with ABS-CBN’s Chicken Pork Adobo, among others.

     The Promil Pre-School I-Shine Talent Camp aims to help exceptionally talented preschoolers develop their full potential. It is the product of Promil Pre-School’s advocacy in developing Filipino children’s talents with the help of their parents, proper care, and proper nutrition.

     This online talent camp is on-going already and I'm sure that everyone is excited to enroll their children. I'm encouraging parents to try this new kind of online contest because there will be task every week and this will help your child hone their talents and skills plus there will lots of fun and learning waiting. Good luck to all joining!

Good Times!~

Cotton USA New Brand Identity Re-launch

     Last June 26, Cotton Council International (CCI), the marketing and promotions arm of United States Cotton industry had a relaunch of its 26-year old flagship brand, COTTON USA. I presume you already know this brand as you've seen it in the tags and labels of your clothes. Wearing COTTON USA made clothes is perfect for our humid weather. It's relaxing and revitalizing to wear. Wearing cotton has benefits that the whole family would surely love. 

     Since 1898, over 50,000 product lines and 3 billion products have proudly carried the name COTTON USA. Here in our country, the COTTON USA Mark was introduced to garment manufacturers and consumers in 1994. I'm on my elementary years that time and if my memory serves me right, we bought undershirts and half slips with COTTON USA mark as part of my daily uniform. This Mark, that is displayed on garments and merchandising shelves, has been a symbol that assured Filipinos that the items being purchased were 100% cotton, 50% of which was cotton sourced from the United Stated of America. During the event, I've discovered that there are other countries that produces cotton but I've gown up knowing it solely from USA. To know more the launch and their new logo, scroll down dearies!

Cotton USA New Brand Identity Re-launch

The new COTTON USA logo 

• The seven twists and turns of the cotton boll symbol represent the seven segments of our industry: producers, ginners, warehousers, merchants, cottonseed handlers, cooperatives, and manufacturers. It’s a story of integration and partnership.
• Finally, the design embodies the idea that cotton is on a global journey. It’s the story of a single fiber, born in the USA, from seed, sun, and soil –not a refinery– that travels around the world, touched at each step by those who care, both in crafting and wearing. In the end, this fiber that was born in the earth, goes full-circle and returns to the earth.

Cotton USA New Brand Identity Re-launch

     New logo and a revitalized brand vision emphasizing three key attributes that set U.S. cotton apart from others:

• PURITY- U.S. cotton is shipped pure from the field. It's clean, non-irritating, and safe. It is the standard by which all other fibers are measured.
• QUALITY- U.S. Cotton producers take meticulous care to produce high quality U.S. cotton. 
• RESPONSIBILITY- From U.S. cotton producers to manufacturers, they are dedicated to creating a better world. Land use has been reduce by 30%, soil erosion by 68%, irrigation water applied by 75%, energy use by 31% and greenhouse gas emissions by 22%. U.S. cotton us biodegradable and can be safely returned to earth.

     COTTON USA also invited a dermatologist and discussed important things with regards to Fabric Dermatitis. She also shared advantages of using cotton fabrics. Cotton is non-irritating, soft and comfortable, absorbent- keeps sweat away from skin, breathable, durable- easy to wash and care compared to other fabrics, affordable, and biodegradable.

     Sharing also with you these Laundry Tips for Cotton Garments and Home Textiles so you'll know how to properly take good care of your cotton fabrics at your home:

1. Follow care-label instructions properly.
2. Sort. Keep whites, darks, brights and medium colors separate.
3. Denim, curdoroy and canvas go in a cool wash; lighter colors and materials go in warm water.
4. Pre-treat stains before you wash to prevent them from setting.
5. Don't overload! Leave space for your clothing and detergent to move freely in the washing machine.
6. Keep your brights vibrant by turning clothing inside out before washing.
7. Dry just long enough to remove wrinkles and moisture. If left in too long the heat can actually set wrinkles, increase static cling and cause shrinkage.

     When it comes to choosing a good pair of shoes for Kenzo, I always consider style and comfort. Kenzo has sensitive feet. Like mother like son, huh? I have sensitive feet that's why choosing the most comfortable foot wear for me is tedious. Good thing I discovered a shoe store that offers comfort and up to date style of foot wear for the little boys and girls. I'm glad that there's a unique shoe store for kids in the name of Meet My Feet. 

     We visited Meet My Feet Fairview Terraces branch last January to check out the latest foot wear for boys. Upon reaching the store, Kenzo run hurriedly inside and sat in one of the elephant stools. He also reached some toys that were on display. I worried because he might broke something but it's actually there for the kids to play with. The unique concept of Meet My Feet's interactive play had helped me chose the pair of shoes for Kenzo fuss-free. Kenzo was busy tinkering the toys while I'm checking out the stylish and comfy shoes on display. Excited to see what I picked for Kenzo?

Ray-Ban Wayfarer Love from Glasses Online Philippines

     Aside from applying sunblock in our face and body to protect our skin from the damaging UVA/UVB, we also need to protect our eyes from direct sunlight. A good pair of sunglasses is what we need not only during summer but throughout the year because of our hot humid weather. I've been lusting over a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarer for the longest time not until I stumble upon an online shop that sells affordable and authentic Ray-Ban sunglasses. 

     We all know that branded sunglasses and eyeglasses have hefty price tags. For a cheapskate like me, spending over 10,000 php ++ for a pair of sunglasses is a no-no especially if I can find an alternative brand that fits my budget. Having an authentic Ray-Ban sunglasses for me was just a dream but that dream came true because of Glasses Online Philippines. Wanna now why? Click CONTINUE READING and find out!
