Monday, August 17, 2015

     Raise your hands if you are stressed! I'm sure all of you will raise your hands and I'll raise mine too because I'm experiencing it right now. Stress is a part of our modern life. We all experience stress in some point of our lives. There are different levels of stress but whether we like it ore not, we are going to experience it. Since it's already a part of living, all we need to do is find ways to lessen the negative impact that it brings.

     It is important to find ways on how to relax and treat ourselves once in a while so that we can recharge, refresh, and renew our mind and body. A few weeks ago, I was invited by one of the prettiest and famous nail salons in the metro, Posh Nails to celebrate their 13th Anniversary in a relaxing and detoxifying way. During the event, they've also introduced their newest services that will draw out impurities by detoxifying the hands and feet. This service is called DETOX Mani+Pedi.

Say Thank You to Your Unsung Hero, the Unilab Way!

Saturday, August 15, 2015

     "Real courage is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. Doing the unpopular thing because it's what you believe, and the heck with everybody.” ― Justin Cronin, The Summer Guest. I believe that there's goodness in everyone. It doesn't matter if the act is big or small. I believe that there's a "hero" in each and every one of us. No need to suffer pain or death just to be recognized. In our family, I consider my parents as my unsung heroes. Both of them wasn't able to go to college. They've just finished their secondary level from  a public school. When they got married, my father's mom gave them a small investment so that they can sustain the needs of their growing family.

Say Thank You to Your Unsung Hero, the Unilab Way!

     It was a roller coaster ride for my parents. The ups and downs of having a small scale business. We have a small bake shop and a sari-sari store before that prospered and have several branches. These was the bread and butter of the family. Our bakery business gave us a good life indeed. We were blessed in terms of material things. But when my father acquired diabetes and kidney disease, our bakery and sari-sari store needs to be shut down as we cannot maintain it anymore because of hospital bills, medications, and dialysis treatment. But my parents are really the unsung heroes for us. Even though my father is sick with stage 5 renal disease, he is still thinking of our future instead of just staying at home and enjoying his life. 

     He always tell us that even though we don't have that kind of resources that we have before, he will still strive hard to bring back the things we lost because of his battle to chronic kidney disease. My mother on the other hand is doing her best to take good care of my father and my nieces and nephews. Instead of going out with friends and relax or unwind, she is dedicating her time in doing household chores and attending to the needs of my father. Their HUSAY at MALASAKIT have helped me succeed in the life that I wanted to be. My UNSUNG HEROES- my parents!

Say Thank You to Your Unsung Hero, the Unilab Way!

     Behind every Filipino is a loved one who has given them unconditional support with Husay at Malasakit through the years without asking for recognition. Unilab celebrates the Filipinos who make society a better place through the positive ways they impact the lives of those around them by giving their loved ones a unique chance to show their gratitude.

Good Times!~

Product Review: Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi

Thursday, August 13, 2015

     Hello dearies! I'm excited to share with you this new product innovation that will make your feet beautiful in less than 5 minutes. The result is instant and after first use, you will see and feel the difference. You can bare your beautiful feet after 1 use.

     Do you love going to nail salon and have your foot spa and pedicure done twice a month? If yes, what are the no-no's that you've experienced before in your foot spa sesh? I presume that the list of not so good experiences include long queues, heavy-handed spa attendants, an accidental cut from the manual callus file, a tad expensive service, and time. If you're so busy, I'm sure that you'll just opt to have home service foot spa but not all nail salons in the metro cater to this kind of service. Fret not, I have a good news- introducing Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi :) This product can give all the benefits that you get your regular foot spa session at the comforts of your home! At first I was hesitant that it will give me a soft and smooth skin in an instant but after my first try, I'm impressed! Scroll down to see why you should have this product at home :)

Photo above: Right foot with callus and a semi-cracked heel
Photo below: After using 
Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi, the calluses are literally removed and the cracks are barely seen. Photo taken using my O+ 8.92 smartphone. No filter. 
What I like:

  • The price is affordable if I'll do the math it saves at least 80% from foot spa sessions.
  • Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi's ergonomically shaped soft-touch handle makes it easy to use.
  • It is battery operated no need for manual scrubbing. Just push the button and voila, let the specially designed rolling surface do the job!
  • It is easy to use.
  • No blade, cutting, and other sharp materials so it's safe and ready to use.
  • The product can be used immediately, no other tasking procedure required. 
  • The head can be replaced with a new roller head. Talk about convenience of refills!
  • After using the file, there's an instant result.
  • My feet feel soft and smooth to touch.
  • The calluses that I got from wearing rubber slippers are not that visible after one use of Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi.
  • Removes hard skin without damaging my normal thin skin. I have thin skin and there's a time where one of my foot spa sessions gone wrong. The attendant over-scrubbed the callus on the lateral plantar section. 
  • I'm impressed that it also blurs out or can lessen the wrinkled areas on the sole of my feet.

What I don't like:

  • None so far!

Will I repurchase? Yes, it's in the realm of possibility. This is a perfect gift this Christmas to foot spa fanatic friends and relatives.

Recommendation:
     I give this a 4.5/5 rating. I highly recommend this product if you love having pedicure sesh twice a month and if you're the type of individual who is always on the go. This will perfectly fit your busy schedule. The convenience of having this product can save you time and hassles from going to nail spa and salon.


     No need to wait for long queues just to get a foot spa and pedicure in nail salons.. Just turn on the button and you're just a couple of minutes away to having a beautiful feet that you can bare anytime, anywhere!
