4 Back to School Tips from Jeunesse Anion

     It’s that time of the year when most students get the fired up excitement for the new school season, but it also proves to be one of the most challenging chapters. Whether a high school student gearing up for a well-balanced academics and club activities, a college student aiming for a dean’s list, or an MA student going for the gold, storms of stress particularly during monthly period can wreak havoc on a woman’s mood and comfort. !

     And for those times of the month when unavoidable dysmenorrhea or mood swings become a crazy overdrive, there’s always Jeunesse. The first Filipino sanitary napkin and liners with a unique anion material, Jeunesse features seven innovative benefits crafted for women with busy, active lifestyle: 

4 Back to School Tips from Jeunesse Anion

• top cover from non-woven material instead of chemical fiber surface
• anion strip that emits negatively-charged molecules for lasting protection and freshness
• side leak guard for double strikethrough protection 
• a super-absorbent polymer for maximum liquid protection
• strictly sterilized layer 
• a breathable bottom layer for superior air flow 
• a topnotch back adhesive to keep pad securely in place

     Aside from Jeunesse’s carefully chosen design and materials, the pads are machine packed and sealed in an aluminum foil packaging, which say a lot about its safety and sanitation standard.

     For a better appreciation of anion, this is not anything foreign when it comes to its host of health benefits particularly in enhancing natural release of happy, frenzied vibe. 

• not only improves the mood, it does a lot of helpful wonders during the red days: balances PH and hormone levels
• protects you from airborne germs
• reduces inflammation
• eliminates odor
• fights against vaginal irritations  

     Jeunesse offers five varieties with different sizes to support all types of menstrual flow from day pad, night pad, all night, ultra day nonwing, to panty liners.

     School days might mean end of summer but it’s also an opportunity to rise above and become more positively better! While it’s so easy to lose sight of these goals, here are some practical tips which can make students give priorities a second thought: 

4 Back to School Tips from Jeunesse Anion

• Set study goals. Discipline is one true mark of a person who wants to be more and do more. Be reminded about short term and long term visions which make studies a big step toward those many dreams in life. 
• Make a study timetable and stick with it. A timetable serves as a practical guide of activities that demand urgent attention or things that should take a back seat. There’s really no hard and fast rule and flexibility is most welcome. This could include bed time, breaks, and —most importantly— quality time that should be spent on studies. 
• Learn to say no. This is not about giving up social activities, in fact, it’s important to live a well-balanced life. The point is, never take on things that shouldn’t be part of the schedule just because it’s uncomfortable to say no. Keeping priorities in mind while practicing loving words to speak will take away the unnecessary awkwardness of saying no. 
• Stay focused. One easy step is to have a journal. It’s a great tool for recording thoughts, ideas, and tracking progress. Written goals and visions make one easily detect distractions or interruptions, plus it’s a very personal thing which has a life of its own. 

     So whether it’s braving the exam week or beating a school deadline during a monthly period, no need to dread anything—Jeunesse Anion Sanitary Napkin and Liners will surely boost your confidence for a more enjoyable and fruitful student life. 

     Jeunesse Anion Sanitary Napkin and Liners is distributed by Wellgold International Inc. and currently available at Watsons Personal Care stores, SM Department store health and beauty section, PCX, Landmark Department Store, Shopwise, Rustan’s Supermarket, Waltermart, and selected Mercury Drug outlets and selected stores in Visayas and Mindanao.

Product Review: Sangobion Iron Capsule

     Hello dearies! Finally, I'm here to share my experience on Sangobion Iron Capsule. For my new readers, I've been taking iron supplements on and off and the need to take iron resulted from my Salpingectomy operation 3 years ago. I was advised to take an iron supplement for 3 months because I lost a huge amount of blood during my operation. I also had a blood transfusion that time so iron supplement became an important part of my everyday supplements.

     Long before I joined the Sangobion Go Love Life campaign, I'm already a Sangobion user. I did not join the 15-day challenge because I already know the difference Sangobion versus other brands of iron in the market today. Maybe you'll ask me why only today that I'll be sharing my review if I'm already a long time user of the brand. It is because I've stopped popping iron supplement for more than a year and wasn't able to document the effect of the product. I also took Sangobion because I'm obliged to take it due to anemia and not because I need to review it. Anyhoo, more information about Sangobion after the jump. Click CONTINUE READING and see why I highly recommend this brand of iron supplement to boost iron production in your body.

Medicard's Tips to Starting a Healthy Year

     The year is still young and perfect for a fresh start. Have you made a resolution yet? If not, it might be a good idea to work on improving your health and well-being. “The beginning of the year is a time for resolutions for many Pinoys. Usually at the top of our resolution list is the pledge to become healthier and fit. That is why many are keen on dropping bad habits and starting a new diet or fitness regimen,” says Dr. Nicky Montoya, president of MediCard Philippines.

     I believe that dedication and commitment are the keys to have a healthy living. Make it a habit and do it for the rest of your life. You can start anytime but once you started on dropping the fats, sweets, nicotine, etc stay focus and be fit to inspire your family and friends.

How to Take Care of Your Liver from MediCard Philippines

     Hello dearies! How's your health? Here's an interesting article from MediCard Philippines. When I received a copy from my email, I said to myself that I must share this. My sister-in-law's niece passed away last week because of liver cancer. She's just 10 years old and it's so heart-breaking that a child was diagnosed with a very horrible illness. I've heard stories of how the family bravely fought the battle. We need to open our minds and must be aware that lifestyle plays an important role in prolonging our lives. 

     The liver is the biggest and one of the vital internal organs in the body. It performs numerous important functions, including the filtration of blood from the digestive tract, detoxification of chemicals that enter the body, metabolization of fats, and regulation of hormones and blood sugar levels. 

     But despite its important role, the liver is also one of the most abused body organs. “Throughout a person’s lifetime, the liver is constantly engaged in a cycle of damage, inflammation and cell death. Under normal conditions, it can repair and renew itself. But if it is injured faster than it is repairing, the damage can be irreversible and may lead to organ failure,” explains Dr. Nicky Montoya, president of MediCard Philippines.

Top Health and Fitness Trends in 2015

     So it's the first month of the year, I'm sure your new year's resolutions include losing weight, staying fit and healthy and staying away from vices. There are different trends  in health and fitness that are sprouting like mushrooms every year. Since Filipinos are getting more and more conscious about healthy lifestyle and how to maintain a clean living, Medicard Philippines listed 4 trends that will continue to attract more Pinoys this year.  

     Are Filipinos going to be healthier in 2015? If last year’s health and fitness trends—detox juices, packaged healthy meals, among others—are any indication, then the answer is a resounding “YES!” 

     “Health and fitness trends will continue to be big this year. As we are bombarded by public awareness campaigns on healthy living, we also work out harder, eat cleaner and get screened for various illnesses. Many programs will also emerge to support our health and fitness goals,” says Dr. Nicky Montoya, president of MediCard Philippines, a leading HMO provider in the country.

Spread ALS Awareness by Watching You're Not You in Theaters

     There are things in life that makes us breathless, simple things that make us move. Despite the obstacles, the aches and pains that we experience, there is someone who will give light to the burden and make us realize that life is worth fighting for.

     I was invited to watch the VIP special screening of You're Not You at SM Megamall Cinema 6 last November 18. At first I thought I'll be watching a chick flick because the title of the movie screams romance in my ears but it's actually a heart moving film about friendships and unconditional love plus awareness of the life threatening disease- ALS. I'll just give a brief information about ALS and a little synopsis of the movie because I want you to watch it in theaters. It's a great movie, it will really make your tears fall but will educate you about the disease. So without further ado, click CONTINUE READING and save the date please!

Toccare Spa #ThisIsMySpa

     Hello dearies! Three weeks ago, I was invited to have a “pamper me” day experience by one of the best spas in the metro based from the positive feed backs I've heard from some of the blog readers and it's - Toccare Spa. This is my first time featuring a spa here in my blog and because I had a great experience during my visit, I want all of you to see what Toccare Spa has to offer. 

     I know that some of you have already experienced to go in a spa before or have the service done at home but the experience may differ, right? So now I asked, what are the things that you consider with your "me time" at the spa? What are the qualities that you look for a spa service and will say "This is my spa" after the treatment that you have availed?

     To answer the questions I asked above, let me feature Toccare Spa. I think I've found the spa where I want to relax and get pampered not only because of the great customer service and high-end facilities but because I can really say that "This is my spa".

Product Review: Glutafit [UPDATED]

     Stay beautiful and fit with Glutafit, sounds too good to be true right? But this can be achieved also with the right kind of skincare products, diet, exercise, and happy vibes! To make the mantra more effective, add a dietary supplement because not all the nutrients in the food that we eat can be properly absorbed in the gut. So taking this kind of supplement can actually amp up what I mentioned above. What is Glutafit? 

     Glutafit is the first daily supplement which helps whiten and slim down the body creating healthy glowing skin and slender body. It contains a combination of L-Glutathione, Chitosan, and Hydroxyproline which are all clinically proven ingredients effective for whitening and slimming. To know more about the product and my experience, click CONTINUE READING, please :)

Product Review: Glutafit

     Before you scroll down, let's take a closer look at the ingredients of Glutafit and what it can do to your body.

L-Glutathione

• It helps lighten skin pigmentation
• It helps maintain healthy glowing skin
• It is a powerful anti-oxidant
• It helps detoxify the liver

Chitosan

• It helps as a fat binder
• It helps eliminate the waste products of the body
• It helps bowel elimination
• It helps as a fast-acting weight loss partner

Hydroxyproline (Collagen)

• It is the purest form of collagen
• It helps rebuild skin collagen
• It helps lessen signs of aging
• It helps rejuvenate the skin
• It helps maintain moisture for firmer and smoother skin

     I've used the product for 15 days as recommended. One capsule 30 minutes before and after eating. Since the product lasted only for two weeks, I wasn't able to see the maximum effect that I'm sure will be achieved after two to three bottles of Glutafit.

Well-sealed

Product Review: Glutafit
Here's the product in a transparent capsule

What I like:

• Sealed upon purchase.
• Comes in a handy bottle complete with product information.
• This is a 2-in-1 product great for whitening the skin and losing weight.
• It contains a decent amount of one of the purest form of collagen- hydroxyproline.
• I didn't experience any discomforts like vomiting, headache, nausea, breakouts or whatsoever.
• It made my skin glowing even if there are times that I need to stay late at night.
• It lessened cystic pimples popping around my chin which I experience every month.
• The color of my freckles lightened a bit while I'm taking this capsule.
• Taking the product in the morning had curbed my appetite the whole day.
• It made me sweat even if I do simple movements.
• Batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the package.

What I don't like:

• Not easily accessible.
• Since the recommended dosage is twice a day, I find the price a bit steep. 
• It's expensive for budget-conscious individuals.
• Contains only 250mg of Glutathione compared to other brands in the market.

Will I purchase? Maybe 

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4/5 rating. To those who want to achieve fair skin, I do recommend this product because it's 2-in-1. This supplement not only maintained my skin tone but it served as an ant-oxidant in my body because I'm exposed to second-hand smoke from my husband and also from other stress factors in the environment. The chitosan in the product curbs my appetite and made me sweat with every simple task that I do. 

     The product did not whiten or lighten my skin because I only consumed it for 15 days but it helped me control my appetite. It's a promising product for those who want to see 2-in-1 benefits in a bottle. With continuous use, I can say maximum results will be achieved. 

     Have you tried taking whitening and slimming capsule as a daily supplement? Share!

Good Times!~

Sangobion Makeover Event: A fresh, new look for women who want to Go Love Life!

     Hi dearies! After two months hiatus from attending events, finally I was able to make it to Sangobion Makeover Event. The event was held at Crowne Plaza Hotel where brand ambassadors, bloggers, Sangobion team and their makeover winners gathered in an afternoon of beauty makeover and heart to heart talk about women's health. 

     Many modern women lead such hectic lives. We put so much energy into juggling a career, taking care of our homes, and making time for our loved ones. While we may be able to balance our different roles, we often have little time for ourselves–leaving our health and looks neglected. Everyone enjoyed the afternoon and to show you highlights of the event, click CONTINUE READING and #GoLoveLife!
