Filipino cuisine and culture shine through its rich meals, decadent desserts, and distinctive snacks. Apart from the ubiquitous bibingka, puto, and leche flan; polvoron is a favorite among locals and tourists alike. Indeed, the unassuming “powdered candy” has become an unofficial ambassador of Filipino culture abroad, thanks to its carry-on convenience, bite-sized servings, and inimitable taste and texture.

Instant gratification is defined as “the desire to experience pleasure or fulfillment without delay or deferment”. In other words, it's the mindset which dictates that if you want something, you must have it now. Undeniably, this approach is most often displayed among millennials. This manifests itself most palpable on social media, with people posting their entire lives online and immediately receiving “likes” and comments. Sadly, this also bleeds into the youth’s spending habits. It is not uncommon to see young people spending big bucks on material things and consumable items.

You don’t need to check a thermometer or even your phone app to know that summer is here. And yes, that means fun and frolicking, whether in the lakes, rivers, and beaches or in mountains, hills, and forests. The great outdoors beckon! But before you run out on your next adventure, make sure that you slather on sun protection.
From the makers of Cetaphil, Daylong sun care products help you get sun-kissed, not sunburnt this season. SPF or the Sun Protection Factor helps you determine what is perfect for your skin and your activity. But how does it work? SPF refers to how much protection is given by a sunscreen when applied to the skin at a thickness of 2mg/cm2. For example: When wearing a sunscreen with SPF30, skin exposure can last for 5 hours protected from sunburn (given if an individual develops redness after 10min of sun exposure).
Daylong products are oil-free, non-greasy, non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, and very water resistant. They provide highly effective UVA, UVB, and IR protection and nourish skin with aloe vera and vitamin E. Daylong SPF 50+ Light Gel gives maximum protection for the oily or sun-sensitive skin. Daylong SPF 30 Spray Lotion is a liposomal sunscreen that gives medium protection for the sun-sensitive skin. Daylong
Kids SPF 50+ Lotion is specially formulated for sensitive kids’ skin from 12 months. Because they are from the makers of Cetaphil, Daylong products are hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested.
Stock up on Daylong lotions and gels to protect you and your family as you swim, surf, trek, run this summer! Daylong is available at beauty stores, drugstores, and supermarkets nationwide.

The excruciating heat of summer kills every inch of me every time I go places for events. Commuting from one place to another is no joke even if I'm using grab or uber. It's like the hole in the ozone layer is on me and the giant ray of light from the sun gives me a spotlight. It's draining and the breeze of air conditioning machine is not enough to cool me down. I yearn for thirst quencher that would give me the boost to carry on the whole day. Fortunately, J.Co Donuts and Coffee now offers a new variant of cold threats that we can choose from. Introducing the all new premium Affogato Series!
I love being surrounded by makeup. It's something that I can't leave without applying to my face whenever I go to events. I have a very low self-esteem and applying makeup builds my confidence. As an avid fan, it's very overwhelming to get invites when cosmetic brands launch new products and make you try it for review, much more when I get to participate with known makeup artists. It feels like being invited to a hall of experts where they teach you the way to their thrones. That's what happened last April 2017, when SM Beauty launches PRO-Card thru a glam session.
