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.

They already have everything from body wash to generic medicines, name it they got it! That is why I am no longer surprised when they announced their new campaign tagged as #GetActive.

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.

2017 has brought us a lot of innovation in style and cosmetics. It's like the revolution continue since the 90's club kids rise and dominate the fashion scene. I am definitely enjoying it! People are able to express their creative sides and bend the norms with less judgment. A place I long to live. And that is what I think of this new Watsons campaign. Encouraging people to go out of their comfort zone and explore their inner Picasso through their hair. Yes! Hair!

I used to be in the streets of Manila to help my mom with her little sari-sari store. On our daily travel, I always find my skin filthy with dust and smoke. I grew acne on my face and felt rashes started to spread all over my body. I become sensitive and loss confidence to myself. To me during that time, physical appearance matter especially that we are poor. I tried all types of face and body cleanser that I can afford only to experience stings during application that sometimes leave a mark.

99% of my friends love Pizza. The 1% I'm talking about has died from depriving himself of earth's majestic delicacy. LOL! Kidding aside, there's a buzz around my friends about today's Greenwich offering. As in this May 19, 2017, Greenwich Philippines has decided to put out the spotlight for their Hawaiian Overload Pizza and tagged the celebration as Pizza Party Day.

School time is about to start and it is another reason for us to stay healthy to take on the challenges in the academe. Good thing, Robinsons supermarket extended their "Route to Wellness" campaign and welcomed families to the "Magical World of Wellness" event held at Eastwood Central Plaza.

No matter what place you call home, the very word strikes a chord deep inside each of us. Home means sanctuary, the place we can rest, relax, enjoy time with friends, learn, & grow. Our homes say a lot about who we are and what we think is important in life.

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.

I love it when makeup brands make their products versatile for your specific needs. It's better than the usual buy-1-take-1 scheme and surely make our lives easier. That 's what I thought when I get my hands on this ILIA Tinted Lip Conditioner. Aside from it being organic (which I'm really into), this lip conditioner is efficient and is a "must inside your purse" product for everyone.

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.
