Feature: Pure Marula Oil by John Paul Selects

     I've tried different beauty oils in the past. They're not the common 'oil' that we use during our childhood days. I call them beauty oils because of the beautifying benefits they give. I presume you've heard a type or two. Beauty oils come in many forms- it can be pure liquid, solid (inside a capsule), mixed with solid skin care products like soap and scrub or with another liquid products like shampoos, conditioners, and lotions.

     Beauty oils have different functions and the common denominator- they are widely use in the skin care department. Have you tried beauty oils before? I use beauty oil/s to moisturize dry skin, to treat and tame frizzy hair, or to make my skin glowing. Now, there's another use that I've recently discovered- it can also be used as sunscreen! Wanna know what beauty oil is this? Presenting... Pure Marula Oil! Know more about Marula Oil by John Paul Selects below and discover the benefits that you'll surely like :)

Feature: Pure Marula Oil by John Paul Selects

     Want to protect your skin from sun damage without worrying about the toxicity of commercial sunscreens? Now, you can with the new Pure Marula Oil! Unlike other sunscreen products that may contain toxic substances that are harmful for your skin, Pure Marula Oil is completely free of preservatives, synthetics and parabens. It is made from 99% marula oil that provides superior and longer lasting hydration for your skin and 1% blend of natural essential oils that give a light and natural scent. 

Feature: Pure Marula Oil by John Paul Selects

     Will I be saying good bye to my favorites- Argan and Macadamia Oils? After reading the benefits, I can say that I'm impressed not only in the sun protection department but also in minimizing fine lines. Oh, it's also an anti-aging oil, so I'll say hooray for now! 

Pure Marula Oil benefits:

• This oil is ideal for skin hydration and restoration.
• Pure Marula Oil has 60% more antioxidants than Argan Oil and is more powerful in fighting free radicals that cause pre-mature skin aging. 
• Its high content of fatty acids like Omega 6 & 9 also makes for a superior anti-aging treatment that plump up skin to help reduce the appearance of fine lines.
• Pure Marula Oil is also best for treating sunburn and soothing skin redness, swelling and irritation. Packed with healing and reparative ingredients, it penetrates quickly into your skin without leaving residue.
• Ideal for all skin types, works well even if you have very oily skin. 
• It is non-comedogenic and does not result in clogged and enlarged pores, minimizing the greasy look and after-feel especially in the sweltering heat.
• With its high antioxidant level, lightning-fast absorption, satin finish, and delicate essential oil scent, Pure Marula Oil is your ultimate, all-natural multi-benefit age-defyer and sun protection essential. 
• Did I say it's also an anti-aging oil? Yes, it is! It hydrates, firms, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. (I can't wait to add this to my skin care regimen)

Cebu Pacific GetGo Visa Debit and Credit Cards by UnionBank #FlyForFreeFaster Launch

     I always stay at home when I don't have events. It's my ultimate comfort zone where I feel secure, at ease and without stress. Even though there are bunch of things to do like household chores or taking good care of my son, I always feel relax at home. If you'll ask me how many times I travel or go on a vacation or staycation a year, prolly my answer will range from 0-1. I travel only when we need to go to our province to attend a special occasion. Most of what my so-called 'travels' are only by land. 

     For some this 'travel' of mine is a common thing, a day-to-day happening and the real T.R.A.V.E.L. requires more. I consider travelling abroad for a vacation luxury. Think of buying a plane ticket, booking for a hotel room, planning the itineraries, and of course the pocket money that you'll bring to enjoy your vacation. Two weeks ago, I was invited by Unionbank, GetGo, and Cebu Pacific for an overnight staycation at Ascott BGC. It's my first staycation and this event is for the books. Sharing with you some highlights of the event below and why having a Cebu Pacific GetGo Visa Debit and Credit Cards by UnionBank to #FlyFasterForFree is highly recommended for the frequent and first-time travellers :)

     Sharing with you what happened during our staycation at Ascott BGC courtesy of UnionBank last May 30-31, 2016. It was a day full of surprises- everyone was so excited to meet the new fleet of cards that will make everyone #FlyFasterForFree but bigger surprises came along that day. I was so happy, it's my first staycation with my family and they made it extra special.

     Upon our arrival at Ascott, the team from Cebu Pacific GetGo and UnionBank prepared a special game for us. They handed us our very own Cebu Pacific GetGo Visa Debit Card that day and told us to shop so we can experience how to use it.

     The mission that afternoon was to shop for travel essentials that we'll be bringing on our next travel destination. We headed over to R.O.X BGC to shop for things that we will bring on our trip, may it be within the country or abroad. There's a time limit so I need to think and shop fast. No need to worry about the money to spend because they've loaded our debit cards with 8,800 php to be exact.

Time-pressured for 10 minutes but I still managed to shop for travel essentials not only for myself but for my husband and my son.

     After the challenging game, it's time to chill out to fly. This time, we were in for a night of fun and games at Unit 27 Bar + Cafe. UnionBank and Cebu Pacific team through its lifestyle rewards program, GetGo, and in conjunction with Visa, launched the newest fleet of cards that night.

     I was amazed that one card can do it all. Before, I veered away from credit cards. Actually, this is only my second credit card to date. The first one is still sitting in my emergency fund box so that I will not be tempted to use it and only in case of emergency. 

     But after learning that Cebu Pacific GetGo Visa Credit and Platinum Credit Cards have different benefits in store for frequent travelers and shoppers, I was convinced that I need a credit card in my life. More than the emergency fund, having these cards will benefit me by earning points that I can actually use to #FlyForFreeFaster! Earning GetGo Points will take me to destinations that I've never been to before.
