PRODUCT REVIEW: Omron CompAir Nebulizer System NE–C801

$

A few months ago, I have shared to you how grateful I am for Omron Healthcare, the global brand and leader in automation, sensing and control technology, and home healthcare. 
On September 20, 2017, at Stacy’s Bonifacio Global City, Omron Healthcare introduced CompAir Nebulizer System NE–C801 for treatment for asthma, chronic bronchitis, allergies and other respiratory disorders. (click here to see my previous post)



The asthma problem in our family is no secret. Although I wasn’t really excited to try and #BreatheEasywithOmron (because I hate whenever my kids experience attacks), I won’t deny that it helped me not to worry that much having Omron CompAir as my partner in dealing with respiratory problems when they occur. Indeed, several medical equipment have become a household necessity, such as blood pressure monitors, thermometers, and nebulizer.

The Omron unit comes with the following:
• Nebulizer kit
• Inhalation attachments including a Child Mask, an Adult Mask, and a Mouthpiece
• Compressor
• Air Tube
• AC adapter
• 5-piece Spare Air Filters
• Instruction Manual
• Carrying Bag
What I love the most with Omron CompAir Nebulizer System NE–C801 is its being handy and lightweight. This is by far the smallest and most compact nebulizer I’ve ever seen. It got me amazed since the first time I held it during the launch! I was thinking, “small but terrible”. I can carry it around when I’m with my kids at my functions and events, travelling or even when we’re at the mall. Hassle-free! Also, storage is not going to be a problem.


It’s also convenient and very easy to assemble, and effortless to clean after use. Simply wash the nebulizer kit, mask and mouthpiece with mild soap and warm water. Then, rinse with hot water and air dry. You can just wipe the rest of the parts with soft cloth.

You can use it anywhere and not worry about it being noisy. I was surprised that it’s super quite unlike other nebs. It gets the job done without annoying you or your little one. 

Not only that, it’s very efficient, too. CompAir uses V.V.T. (Virtual Valve Technology) that reduces medication wastage as the neb converts the medication into an aerosol of microscopic droplets that can be inhales, helping patients to breathe easy faster. This means more effective and quicker treatment.

Omron, being the best in the field and undoubtedly the #1 trusted brand, offers this Compressor Nebulizer at a very affordable price of Php3280. Get it now from all leading drugstore chains and appliance stores.

I’m very happy with Omron CompAir Nebulizer System NE–C801 and I highly recommend it.

Indeed Christmas becomes more meaningful when we celebrate it with the ones we love. In spirit is kindled with sharing and our togetherness. 
I and my blogger friends/sisters have been planning a special event for all our supporters who have been inspiring us the past years. We wanted to get up close and personal, and express our gratitude. I never thought this day would even be possible with all our busy schedules and other challenges. 
Well, last Sunday December 3, 2017, the #BloggerBabesXmasMeet finally happened at the Magnolia residences function room.

It was like a breath of fresh air for all our us- a weekend to remember!

We had loads of fun and a simple program, which we kicked off with a thanksgiving prayer led by Roxane Cabile-Montierro.

Although we didn't have much time to prepare for this, we were just all floating in happiness and appreciation to everyone who were there. 
And because you all have been so wonderful, some of the brands that we truly believe in have given their own share of tokens and gifts for you. 
We hope you like them and that you continue to support them, too. The #BloggerBabesXmasMeet would not be as memorable without the bigheartedness of our sponsors.


We had fun-filled games and other engaging activities such as the makeup workshop given by one of the #BloggerBabesGen-zel.
Arleen Oboguin was chosen for having the least makeup. It was an instant makeover for her. She's even more beautiful. 
Thank you, Panasonic Philippines, for our mirror and chair in this makeup session.

I've been attended Filipino Bloggers Network (FBN) Christmas Party last 2014 and 2016
Filipino Bloggers Network Christmas Party 2014
I was out of the country in 2015 so I was not able to attend. 

Filipino Bloggers Network Christmas Party 2016


Now on its fifth year, the annual Get-Together & Christmas party of the Filipino Bloggers Network (FBN) has become bigger and brighter with more sponsors and partners giving their support to one of the most active blogger group in the country today.



Salu, a Filipino restaurant in Quezon City, will be hosting this year’s gathering of bloggers and online influencers on December 12. 

FBN members anticipate the yearly gathering as an opportunity to make new friends and catch up with old pals they have not seen for a while. 

Representatives of different PR groups and brands will also grace the event to personally thank members of the online community who have supported them in the past years.

Another co-main sponsor is SvelT'i, a skin clinic that provides advanced health and beauty services using state of the art technology. 

FBN currently has almost 2,000 members and continue to expand as it provides a venue for Pinoy bloggers from around the Philippines to interact with other members from different part of the country.

Moderating the discussions and posting opportunities from different brands for the group are co-admins Divine RC and Richard Mamuyac. With the support of MetroBuzz led by its admin Lariza Garcia, expect the annual event to be even more fun-filled and exciting in the years to come. 



This year’s celebration was supported by the following generous sponsors:

#UnmaskTheNewYou with Dermairis Mask

$

Hello Kitty Changi Airport Mystical Garden

I've been doing a lot of short weekend getaways lately. Recently, I headed to Singapore for an overnight trip. 

My skin gets dehydrated easily and during flights are one of the best times for me to relax and give my skin an extra TLC while I read a book, watch a movie or just sleep. 

For this reason, I have two things that I always bring with me when I travel, no matter how near or how far, facial masks and a facial mist

The night before my flight to Singapore, I attended the #DermairisPH launch. It was the perfect timing as we were given their products to try. 

Here's what happened to the Dermairis Launch:

Glenda Arceno, JWHP’s General Manager, welcomed us with a brief introduction of JWHP and JW Group.
JWHP General Manager Ms. Glenda Arceno (3rd from left) Dr. Crystal Roxas (middle) and Dermairis face Mica Tuballa with special guests at the launch event. 

According to Arceno, JW has presence in more than 45 countries. Its headquarters is located in the Gangnam area of Seoul, South Korea. The holding company controls several business groups, manufacturing facilities, and research centers, one of which is JW CreaGene, the developer of Dermairis.

Offering direct sales and marketing of JW products, JWHP has been in the country since August 2013. Dermairis, which follows a line of successful medical products such as pharmaceuticals, IV infusions, and antibiotics, marks JWHP’s expansion into the cosmeceutical space--and more innovative products are set to come.

“JW Group’s founding spirit is anchored in our respect for life. This is what motivates us in dealing with our patients and in dealing with our customers,” Arceno said.

Arceno’s declaration echoes the earlier statement of Jinam Oh, Finance Head of JWHP: “JW Group, with its founding principle of Respect of Life, strives to supply high-quality healthcare and cosmeceutical products to patients and consumers globally.”

This commitment to beauty backed by science was evident at the launch party, where JWHP invited the glamorous dermatologist Dr. Crystal Roxas to talk about the importance of skincare.

“The skin is the largest organ of the body and it is the organ that is exposed to the external world,” Dr. Roxas said. “The skin reflects the general mental and physical well-being. It’s a sacrificial organ because when you’re stressed, the first sign is seen on your skin.”

She recommended the basic routine of regular cleansing, exfoliation, toning, moisturizing, and protection, and taught us how to perform each step properly.

Check out this promotional video from #DermairisPH Facebook Page. 


There are currently two variants of the Dermairis mask
Blue- (SRP:Php70) consists of air pockets that contains nutrients
Pink- (SRP:Php150) uses soft microfiber that is finer than a hair strand. 

I tried the blue variant on my way to Singapore, and the pink one on my way back to Manila. 


I like how the after the effect of the mask is moisturizing but not sticky. At the end of my mask routine on my flight, I just sprayed my face with some facial mist to seal the moisture in, let all the surface moisture completely get absorbed then put on sunblock. 


What I love about Dermairis face masks is that it offers four skin benefits
1. Moisturizing
2. Anti-wrinkle
3. Elasticity
4. Whitening

It uses 10 main ingredients, including JW's two proprietary technologies. 

1. The patented JW-EGF (CTP-EGF) that penetrates the skin 5x faster than the other EGF, making the Dermairis Mask more efficient than other masks. 
2. Meanwhile, AMF is not destroyed by time and blocks moisture evaporation for 120 hours. It therefore works more effectively than NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor) found in other face masks, which reduces skin moisture retention. 
3. Hyaluronic acid- to attract and retain a large amount of water. 
4. Ceramide- which helps hold cells together, leaving you with plump and dewy skin.
5. Adenosine- more restoring and nourishing ingredients.  
6. Acetyl Tetrapeptide- boost cell growth and fight visible signs of aging. 
7. Astaxanthin- an anti-aging antioxidant. 
8. Snail secretion filtrate- another collagen and elastin-building ingredient. 
9. Botanical extracts- to improve skin texture
10. Niacinamide- to bring clearer and brighter complexion, evens out skin tone, and fights pigmentation. 

Hydrated and young-looking skin is now just a face mask away!

Filipinos enjoy cherishing the times we share with family, friends, and loved ones especially during the holiday season. For the majority, the best memories are created inside the bedroom where family members bond or catch up with each other before they call it a day. 

Giving salute to the importance of family traditions, Uratex, who is celebrating 50 years this 2018 unveiled a Christmas-themed video to celebrate family memories made inside the bedroom, their common area of solitude, and the bed, a central and key witness to that celebration. 

The video starts by showing a young man longing for the love and company of their mother, supposedly an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW). He has not seen her as she has not come home for the past three years working overseas. Not a day passes that the young man misses his mother, where he shared many fun and memorable moments with her while at his bedroom during his childhood. And now that Christmas is near, the longing is felt more than ever. 

Meanwhile, the young man’s elder brother also does his best to overcome his yearning for their mother’s presence by focusing all his strength on his job. He silently cares for his brother’s needs and sees to it that his younger brother continues to strive to be the best individual that he can be. But like his younger brother, he misses his mother as well. 

Alas, their wish was granted on Christmas Day when, as they try to celebrate Christmas just like in the previous years without their mother, they were pleasantly surprised with her arrival. The joy in the younger brother’s eyes was evident with their mother’s presence in a special time such as Christmas, finally, as one family. 

For the elder brother, the arrival of their mother was the perfect time to tell her that he is now ready to take on the responsibility of caring for the family’s needs. With their mother’s long-awaited homecoming, it will be the perfect opportunity to create new memories again together—as one family.

Uratex Philippines, the undisputed leader in the foam manufacturing industry believes that family love and comfort are always at the forefront in the tradition of selfless care and service to the Filipinos. Uratex believes that family love, caring and looking out for the welfare and greater comfort of each other is vital. Each Uratex bed provides ultimate comfort to promote a healthful and relaxed sleep night after night. This helps invigorate the body so it will remain fit and fully charged to make each family member ready to face life’s daily challenges. 

For Uratex founders Robert and Natividad Y. Cheng, the products that they’ve developed over the past five decades have been uncompromising when it comes to celebrating the beauty of love and life. Each mattress that rolls out of the company’s manufacturing facilities is the result of the Chengs’ vision to share comfort with every Filipino. With constant innovation, Uratex products remain synonymous to rest and relaxation, love and comfort. 

After their mother’s arrival, what special Yuletide celebration awaits the two sons?

HOPE Hand and Foot Wellness Services Menu:

Boss Lady Package- Even the busiest boss lady needs to be pampered especially when she's on her feet a lot. Our Boss Lady Package starts with a warm Himalayan Salt foot soak to soothe you, followed by a reinvigorating mix of coffee exfoliating foot scrub and softening coconut. To tighten and remove impurities, a bentonite and white tea oil mask is liberally smoothed on before a 30-minute massage. This dreamy package is capped with an expertly applied manicure + pedicure worthy of any boss lady.


Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice- The perfect mixture of sassy, sweet, and pampering. A brightening and softening milk and lemon warm foot soak begins the indulgent process. Sugar, olive oil, honey, and baking soda scrub create a natural moisturizing, antibacterial exfoliant to reveal dreamy feet. A relaxing sandalwood mask is applied, before a calming 30-minute massage readies your tips for premium manicure + pedicure.


Age is Just a Number- Release your inner youthful nymph! Stay young and fresh with an anti-aging warm foot soak using sambong leaves. Coconut cream, Himalayan Salt, and Peppermint softens, hydrates, and invigorates your feet to make them baby soft. A white tea oil calms your tips in preparation for a reviving 30-minute massage tailored to promote blood circulation and anti-aging. Lastly, a manicure + pedicure that will add a touch of youth will be artfully applied.


HOPE Signature Wellness Package- HOPE’s very own de-stressing treatment. Healing Epsom salt and relaxing lavender oil is infused in a warm water foot soak. Chamomile tea bags, Himalayan salt, and olive oil make a trio of a calming and softening foot scrub. More premium lavender oil is used to indulge stressed feet before the ultimate therapeutic 70-minute reflexology massage begins. A manicure and pedicure seals in the deal and gets you ready to face the day with newfound wellness and hope.


The Pro-Active Package- Say goodbye to weary hands and feet any working woman has to deal with, and say hello to smoother and younger-looking hands and feet with this special treatment. An Epsom salt warm water soak starts the healing process, followed by a foot scrub of exfoliating refined sugar, re-energizing peppermint leaves, and soothing bamboo oil. A foot paraffin wax will help keep feet softer, before being followed by deeply calming 70-minute reflexology massage. The same youthful invigorating process is repeated on your hands before a manicure + pedicure is applied.


The Chill Chic- For the woman of substance who is cool, calm, and collected. The treatment begins with a warm steamed towel to cleanse and open pores. A soothing bamboo oil and Himalayan scrub will calm the senses in preparation for a milk, calamansi, and green tea hand mask for brightening, detoxifying, and softening rejuvenation. A deeply calming massage then precedes a high-quality manicure + pedicure.


The Little Prince/Princess Package- You can never be too young to pamper and care for yourself! Young patrons have a choice of either:


A. Warm foot soak with healing sambong leaves, a gentle hydrating exfoliation using sugar and olive oil, a mask with bentonite clay and lavender oil to cleanse and soothe, before lastly enjoying a specially-tailored kiddie massage.


B. A warm steamed towel cleans and removes impurities in preparation for a natural and gentle sugar and olive oil scrub for softness and moisture. A lavender oil mask soothes before a calming kiddie-friendly massage.

My #PampangasBest Sweet Taste Of Success Story

$

0

I have always been business-minded. You’ve seen me in bazaars, I’ve had my own garage sale a few times, and I have been part of the #PampangasBest #SweetTasteOfSuccesschallenge. Getting exposed to different products and brands just made me a fussier blogger and, more importantly, a more meticulous mom.

Before, I just used to think of the extra income I would earn in selling different items, particularly when I do my own garage sale. Surprisingly, it has already become a passion for me, being an ambassador of the brands I personally use. Yes, that’s one of the most important factor I always take into consideration – I will not sell something that I don’t use or haven’t tried yet. It adds up to the convincing power when we talk about sales.

Here are some other tips I’d like to share to you should you decide to venture in #PampangasBest #HomeNegosyo like what I did.
Budget is not an issue. For as low as Php5000 initial purchase of assorted products, you can already be a dealer of Pampanga’s Best products. Honestly, I found it easy starting up this business. Aside from setting it up effortlessly at home, I was able to dispose my first set of products in just a couple of days! So, a cash out of P5000 wouldn’t really hurt. You don’t need to look and pay for another location to put it up, you only need the capital for the actual goods you’re going to sell.

Have the courage to ask. Food, especially when it’s the best tocino in town, is pretty easy to sell. But, you have to take some risks with your marketing strategy. I have sent numerous messages and offered it to so many relatives and friends. You will never know if they’re interested if you don’t start asking. Customers usually base their decision, whether to buy or not, on how they feel about the commodity. Get them excited and connected to you. I have used social media as platform to jumpstart my Pampanga’s Best business. It’s free anyway. ;-)

Know your product to know your target market. I always recommend from my own experience, so there’s always sincerity and truth when I start offering my product to the potential buyer. Knowing your product details is not simply memorizing the label and all the ingredients. With your own experience of the product, you will be able to identify your market and actually relate to them. Well, I’m not the only one who loves Pampanga’s Best. My kids also love a variety of Pampanga’s Best.
Shoutout to Chick’N Pops as perfect baon. When you get the chance to share something about what you sell, you will end up telling your story instead of reading from the flyer.

I can say that my overall experience in this sweet taste of success challenge was very exciting. Just being able to take care of my business while doing what I’ve already been doing was a great help for me. Even when I’m busy, I can still make some sales using my phone, while on my way to work or going back home. Yes, sometimes it’s difficult. However, with hardwork and a little squeezing in with how much available time we have left as moms, we can be successful. I’m glad to be part of the growing Pampanga’s Best dealers!

Reyal Litson Manok

If you are looking for quick yet tasty dish ideas for Noche Buena, potluck party, or what to serve for lunch or dinner, this Reyal Litson Manok is definitely what you need to order. 


Lechon Manok is one of my family's favorite dish and when it comes to saucy and flavorful litson manok, there’s nothing like having Reyal on the dining table. Though unassuming in appearance, Reyal is something Filipino families love and look forward to for sauce-sulit, sauce-sarap litson manok. In two years’ time, it successfully captured the market’s appetite for roasted chicken that comes with a unique sauce.


Reyal: New Look, Same Sauce-Sarap, Sauce-Sulit Taste


In time for its second anniversary, Reyal is unveiling a new look for its brand, switching its bright yellow colors to a warm orange and changing its text logo to a much more striking cursive. The rebranding is definitely much saucy-er than ever, drawing attention to what they’re really known for — their signature litson manok sauce.
There’s no question how their sauce is well-loved by customers seeking affordable yet flavorful ulam for the family. It’s different from what Filipinos are used to when it comes to barbecued chicken. Instead of getting lechon sauce or toyomansi, customers get a sweet and spicy sauce that’s made with honey, chili oil and toasted garlic bits — ingredients that appeal to the Pinoy taste.


Despite this major re-branding, however, Reyal continues to guarantee its patrons that it doesn’t change anything with regard to its sauce-sarap taste. They will still be met with the same butterfly-cut chicken and sweet and spicy flavors that they can bring home for everyone to enjoy.

Franzia’s California Red has ripe and juicy blackberry and cherry flavors that pair well with rich and savory meat dishes with pungent flavor and aroma. Its crisp, clean finish efficiently blends well with beef, pork, and pasta with sweet and spicy sauces. Seafood like salmon and stuffed squid, even without seasoning, could be sharp tasting. Franzia’s California Red effortlessly harmonizes with the intense flavors.

Franzia’s Chillable Red is softer than traditional red wine and is absolutely easy to drink as it complements a wide range of party dishes like salad and dessert. A well-balanced Chillable Red, which has a slightly glossy and rounded composition, is also refreshing to taste after a plate of poultry dishes. Best served chilled, it refreshes and warms up dark December evenings at the same time.

Make this year’s celebrations shine out by starting a Christmas tradition. Bring out the sommelier and food connoisseur in you by preparing a magnificent holiday banquet filled with delicious dishes, bottles, and boxes of Franzia’s California Red and Chillable Red wines. As the world’s best-selling wine, it’s also a great present to tickle the taste buds of all the wine lovers in your life. So grab a box or bottle this holiday season-- a generous pouring of Franzia wine is all it takes to make your gathering a stellar feast!

Christmas is just around the corner. Indeed, the Yuletide Season is my favorite simply because we get to spend time with our family, deepen the spirit of giving in sharing our blessing with others, and celebrate Jesus Christ even more. Our parties and reunions are spent in a more meaningful and joyful way. As the song goes, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year!”

While some of us hold various activities at home, with friends, schoolmates from way back, and relatives from different places; others would plan their much-awaited vacation months before to go someplace else. Either way, we must keep in mind that this season is no different to regular days when it comes to ensuring our safety and security. As we know, we have the longest Christmas season compared to the rest of the world. So, I’d like to discuss some risks and tips to remind us of some important things we might forget when having so much fun.

For years, it’s been observed that fire incidents increase towards the end of the year. I know March is the Fire Prevention Month. However, Fire Prevention is something that we need to practice all throughout the year. I mean, we should practice this constantly. Always think about how mean fire can be when it happens. It’s just devastating. I’m sure you have seen how people suffer from this tragic event on TV or maybe someone that you know experienced it, if you haven’t first hand. *knock on wood*

None of us wouldn’t want to be caught in that dreaded situation, would we? I guess I don’t have to elaborate more on the “why” part. Let’s focus on what we can do to prevent it from happening.


•       Christmas lights are obviously one of the top contributors in the increase of fire incidents during Christmas season. Just like when were done using our appliance at home, make sure to unplug the Christmas lights (and other decorations that use electricity) before the entire household goes to sleep. It’s practical and safe that way, right? I know we’re all for the display and the perfect Christmas feel, but I don’t think there’s a need to keep them on overnight. Even though we are guaranteed that they are of the highest quality, still the risk is there.

•       When you’re planning to spend a few days or the entire week from Christmas to New Year away from home, check if everything is in order. It won’t hurt your time to double check or even triple check, if it means your home is still in good condition (and in one piece) when you get back.



Aside from your electric appliances, make sure that your LPG is safe and secured. This advice also goes to those who are staying at home. I take no chance when it comes to my family’s wellbeing so I have been using Solane LPG. 

I love that they have this 7-point Safety Check exclusive service for every home delivery. To know more about this, click this link.


•       I love watching fireworks but have you seen how lethal they can be? I always tell my kids to get away from them, and we always choose to make noise using other means like dancing and singing in karaoke. Avoiding all sorts of fire crackers can absolutely decrease the chance you’ll catch fire and lose your fingers, home and life. Our merriment is not defined by how expensive and bright our fireworks are. Ultimately, it’s our togetherness and how we welcome Christ in our hearts that determine how merry our Christmas would be.
I hope these simple safety tips will help you have a harmless and meaningful Yuletide Season. Feel free to share yours in the comments section.

From my family to yours, Advance Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Holiday Care Tips for Kids

Christmas is in the air. The weather’s getting colder and the atmosphere’s merrier. Kids cannot wait to open all the gifts under the tree, eat delicious holiday food, and receive goodies from all the Christmas parties. 

However, the season also leaves children vulnerable to cough, colds, and fever. During this time, people tend to remain indoors, staying in close proximity with each other. This makes it easy for viruses to spread. And we all know that getting sick in the merriest time of the year isn’t fun for any kid.
Make sure that your child celebrates Christmas in great health with these tips:
  1. Dress them in warm and comfortable clothing. As you go out for Simbang Gabi or a party, protect your kids from the cold with a jacket or sweater.
  2. Make them get enough sleep. With all the activities happening, your children will spend a lot of energy. Encourage them to sleep early so that their bodies can recover well for the next day.
  3. Pay attention to their diet. Desserts and fatty food are popular during Christmas, but don’t go overboard. Keep your children’s meals healthy, and make sure that they are well hydrated.
  4. Have the right medicine readily available at home. Be ready to fight off possible pain and fever common during this season with proper medication. The World Health Organization recommends paracetamol—the active ingredient in Calpol— as the first line of treatment. It is effective and gentle on young tummies, so it can be administered to children from 2 months old onward.
  5. If your child is sick, give proper dosage of medicine. Make sure that you are giving them the right amount at the right time. 

When caring for a sick child, trust only doctor-recommended medication such as Calpol. For more useful child care resources and for more information about Calpol, visit calpol.com.ph.
Use as directed. Always read the label. If you have any doubts or concerns, please contact your local healthcare professional.

Christmas Gift Ideas + #Safeguard Giveaway!

“The true spirit of Christmas is giving without the thought of receiving.” Our most awaited part of Christmas in the family is gift giving. It’s a joy to watch the excitement and happiness of our loved ones when they open our gifts. I believe in the popular saying, “It’s the thought that counts.” If you haven’t completed your list for Christmas gifts yet, you may want to go over it and make sure they are well thought of.

Here are some of my gift ideas that will surely be useful and meaningful.

1. Personalized things

I love having things personalize because it gives additional value and character to my gift. You can check out some very nice Sheaffer pens at National Bookstore and have the person's name engraved on it. They come neatly in a box, making it look more presentable and special. 
You can also get jewelries like necklaces or bracelets custom-made depending on the character of the person that you will give it to. I'm sure that'll be a hit! 

2. Cookies, pastries and cakes 



For those who love to cook or bake, prepare your sweet treats for your friends and families this Christmas. Instead of shopping for them, put your very own personal touch by giving them gifts by offering your time and effort in doing what you love to do. They will absolutely delight in your gifts and certainly appreciate it. 

3. Olay Gift Pack 
The special Olay Christmas Gift Pack is a perfect gift idea for our momshies out there. I and my mom know that Olay Total Effects delivers to its promise. It helps us achieve youthful and naturally beautiful skin, and we want to share this with others. Now, with the new formulation, modern Filipinas like me can now have more confidence in having ageless skin. 


4. Travel Organizer
At this time of the year, a lot of our friends and relatives travel and spend their Yuletide break someplace else. I thought of giving away these travel organizers to help them when it comes to packing for their trips. I travel a lot, so I know how it feels like having an unorganized luggage. This will be very useful not just this Christmas season, but also for every time they go for a trip. 

5. Safeguard Gift Pack 

Spread the love, not the germs. Since it's the season of giving, I and Elijah decided to give away #Safeguard soaps to his classmates and teachers. We even taught them the 5 Hugas Krismas song to encourage them to wash their hands regularly. Elijah has been has been singing just like Alden in the video. 

The Safeguard Christmas Pack includes the Safeguard liquid hand soap and body wash variants, plus a loofah, to protect the whole family from germs this holiday season. I suggest that you grab this special gift pack from your favorite supermarkets while it lasts. As we know, germs are everywhere, and it helps when we have the most trusted brand when it comes to antibacterial soaps. This is where Safeguard comes in, since it is #1 in germ protection for the entire family. 



Safeguard™ Pure White Body Wash
Protect your family from the germs that cause 75% of all childhood illnesses with Safeguard™ Pure White body wash—the doctor-recommended protection you trust, with the classic Safeguard fragrance you love. Antibacterial body washes are effective at killing germs, while cleaning dirt, excess oil, odor, sweat, and makeup from your skin. Some antibacterial body washes, such as Safeguard Pure White Body Wash, continue to protect your skin for hours after washing, to help the fight against illness and infection.

In addition, they can help inhibit body odor which is germs that multiply on your skin.

Safeguard Pure White Hand Soap


Safeguard Pure White Liquid Soap is a classic, with a lovely clean fragrance you will love. Its rich and soft white lather indulges you in a refreshing washing experience! Safeguard Pure White Antibacterial liquid hand soap that is 100% recommended by global health experts helps protect your family and removes up to 99% of germs!

The Safeguard limited Christmas edition pack is available at your leading supermarkets and drugstores for only PhP 199.

Make picture-perfect memories at Singapore’s stunning holiday attractions


The glistening lights, the Christmas trees and all the other festive holiday decorations truly make Christmas one of the most enchanting and picturesque times of the year. But the real beauty of the season is in the moments it brings about—gift-giving, get-togethers, and getaways.

Singapore offers exciting possibilities with its Christmas attractions straight from your Christmas fantasies that are sure to provide you and your loved ones with beautiful, picture-perfect experiences that you would definitely want to capture.

Holiday marvels in the heart of the city

If you’re looking for a winter fairytale come to life, Gardens by the Bay has its enchanting Christmas Wonderland. One of Singapore’s main annual events, this attraction is sure to excite families and friends looking for some holiday cheer as they feast on delicious treats at the European-inspired festive market, play carnival games at the fun fairground and skate under the beautiful night sky at the open skating rink. But the star of the event has to be the stunning seven-storey luminary light, the Spalliera. During the event’s nightly Blizzard Time, visitors can capture a photo as marvelous as their Christmas Wonderland experience set against magical snowfall and the Spalliera’s lights.


A nearby attraction one can also check out is Poinsettia Wishes, a massive floral installation of poinsettias, amaryllis and Christmas trees at the Gardens by the Bay Flower Dome. Visitors can experience a truly Nordic winter cozying up under a Lavvu, a kind of tent used in Northern Scandinavia, while enjoying the northern lights projected on the dome’s screens. Those with an eye for landscapes are sure to delight in taking shots of the splendid set-up.


Another amazing sight to behold is Christmas on a Great Street. Every year, Singapore’s famous Orchard Road is lit up with fantastic light installations. This year, the event celebrates with the theme “Endless Wonder,” featuring its very own Christmas Village that is complete with pop-up shops and food bazaars. Be inspired to encapsulate your Singapore holiday and take a dreamy photo at the Walk of Wonder, a 20-meter-long tunnel of blue fairy lights covered in a silver reflective fabric blanketing.



Those looking for an adventure-filled yuletide getaway can head over to the Prudential Marina Bay Carnival. Admission to the carnival grounds is free and open for all, especially thrill-seekers who will surely enjoy more than 40 rides and games with impressive standouts like the Star Flyer, Cyclone Coaster, Booster Maxx, Log Flume, Das Fun Schiff (Pirate Ship). A carnival wouldn’t be complete without yummy food to munch on. Luckily, there is also a food bazaar with Michelin-starred gourmet food, classic carnival treats like popcorn, and many more. There are also a wide variety of performances from DJs, local independent artists, and caroling chorales that should not to be missed.


The Prudential Marina Bay Carnival, however, is just part of an even bigger celebration—the much-anticipated Marina Bay Countdown. Here, attendees are in for an extravagant night full of possibilities, from an awesome laser show and a bustling holiday bazaar, to a grand fireworks spectacle. During the year-end festivities, Singapore’s cityscape turns into the perfect backdrop of fantastic projection mapping displays. As part of the 2D mapping display, the big countdown, along with crowd-sourced New Year wishes, will be projected across the Fullerton Hotel, followed by magnificent fireworks that are sure to get spectators excited for the possibilities of a new year.

Christmas made special at Sentosa
For a completely unique holiday experience, try out an underwater Christmas with the Merry Fishmas at the S.E.A. Aquarium at Sentosa. Capture an interesting and fun photo with Scuba Santa and Underwater Elves inside a massive aquarium swimming with diverse and colorful fishes. As the S.E.A. Aquarium advocates protecting marine wildlife by reducing the waste in the seas and oceans, the Merry Fishmas attraction is complete with a plastic bottle Christmas tree and includes a Scrooge’s Recycling Workshop where guests can make special Christmas gifts from recycled materials.

Both kids and kids-at-heart can discover what it’s like to be an elf at the North Pole at A Universal Christmas at Universal Studios Sentosa. Santa’s Workshop is a fully-immersive attraction filled with different, fun challenges. Visitors can also catch Santa with his reindeers and elves at Santa’s Snowy Sleigh Ride, a fun parade around Universal Studios Sentosa. Complete your Universal Christmas by catching an amusing Christmas show with Oscar Grouchmas Live. Take wonderful shots at any corner of Universal Studios as it transforms into a delightful Christmas village.

Add a little luxury to your trip by going on a Christmas cruise unlike any other on board the Royal Albatross, a massive 4-mast and 22-sail Tall Ship. Sail from the shores of Sentosa and enjoy a Christmas feast on the open deck decorated with sleigh bells, mistletoe, and baubles as you soak in the stunning view of the sunset. With this spectacular background, taking an Instagram-worthy shot is a piece of cake.


Spend this holiday season in Singapore to see these wonderful sights and make meaningful memories that are sure to have the most beautiful pictures to match!

Are you ready for Noche Buena? 

Christmas is almost upon us. We are looking forward to the festive dishes that will be served during family gatherings, especially on Noche Buena. The more people and food, the merrier!

Every family has their own recipes served on Noche Buena that they have mastered and improved over decades. After all Christmas is all about traditions, and it’s a wonderful thing to share traditions with the people closest to you. But it’s also the perfect time to start your own traditions. Where better to start than with the food you’re serving on Noche Buena! It might be time to revamp your Christmas cookbook with cheesy twists to those traditional dishes.

Liven up your Noche Buena table with Danes Cheese Ball. It’s creamy, delicious and cheesy on its own. But what’s even better is that it’s so versatile you can mix it into your own recipes or make new dishes with it!

Here are four dishes that can then make your Noche Buena handa extra special:

1. Spaghetti
Spaghetti is a Filipino party essential and Christmas is no exception! Something about this just screams, “Let’s celebrate!” This Christmas, why not make your sweet spaghetti even better with cheese mixed into the sauce. Then sprinkle a lot of cheese on top. This will surely be a hit with the kids!


2. Caldereta
Every mom has a specialty dish, and you can expect it served on the grandest occasion of the year. Caldereta is one of the mostpopular mommy specialties. It’s a common heirloom recipe passed on from generation to generation. Adding cheese to the sauce makes it even more savory.

3. Kakanin
When the Simbang Gabi starts, churches will be surrounded with stalls that sell colorful delicacies like bibingka and puto bumbong. As an appetizer or dessert, we can’t get enough of kakanin, especially with cheese sprinkled on top of them! Besides, nearly everything is better with cheese, right?

4. Fruit Salad

What’s Noche Buena without Lola or Tita’s fruit salad? Most of us probably even helped making this as a kid, right? Bonding over Noche Buena preparations is a special part of our family memories. It’s a really cheesy moment we share with our families.

These are just some of the dishes you can make with Danes Cheese Ball, you can mix it into your own recipes or make new dishes with it. It’s great eaten on its own and it’s great with your signature dishes as well.
                 
Danes Cheese Ball is available in all leading groceries and supermarkets. #HappyHoliDanes, indeed!



So what are you waiting for? Give your traditional Christmas dishes an awesome flavor boost with Danes Cheese Ball and create new family favorites.
