Libresse makes women secure at every turn

Libresse

What do women do when it’s “that time of the month?” Naturally, we want a well-meaning pad that will give us the liberty to move without worrying about displacement or “leaks.”

Libresse feminine pads are specially designed to move along with our routine activities. They are equipped with the revolutionary Secure Fit ™ feature, which provides superior dryness and ultimate comfort fit. It allows for unconstrained freedom for movement without the insecure feeling of leakage and discomfort.

The Body Designed Front secures the pad in place to prevent leakage. Its Narrow Neck fits comfortably between the thighs preventing the pad from squishing and being dislodged when walking. To ensure that nothing seeps between the cracks, Libresse’ uniquely designed Split Rear at the backside of the pad is outlined for a close fit to the buttocks. Libresse has Deep Flow Channels ™ (DFC) that channel wetness quickly into the pad, preventing it from flowing back into the surface, saving you from the icky feeling of discomfort from wetness. These channels also act as strategic fold lines that follow your every move, therefore keeping the pad in place at all times.

Libresse pads has four quality variants; Maxi Wings and Ultra Thin Wings for regular red days, Maxi Overnight Wings that is specially-shaped for longer nights and Libresse Super Slim Pantyliner , a stretchable liner that is flexible as your undergarment to give you absolute comfort in movement, it has a breathable back sheet and soft cottony surface which keeps skin fresh, dry and comfortable.

SM Beauty Within launch

Having a day-to-day skin regimen and exercise routine are already a great way to enhance a woman’s holistic beauty. However, topical products can only go to a certain depth into the skin’s layer. But with beauty ingestives, the necessary nutrients are reaching the skin from within, making the transformation faster and more noticeable.

This is affirmed by Dr. Angel Tomacruz- Cumagun, dermatologist and beauty expert — “Ingestives are beauty supplements. By taking supplements orally, the necessary nutrients reach into the inner as well as outer skin layers from within. Thus, the expected outcomes like renewing cells, fighting free radicals as well as boosting the immune system can be felt and seen”.

Here’s a look at some of the top brands that are on spotlight at SM’s Beauty Within:

Mosbeau – With key Ingredients like Placental protein, Asparagus Extract , Vitamin C, Collagen and Glutathione, Mosbeau whitens skin while rejuvenating skin cells and removing harmful toxins from the body.

Belo Nutraceuticals- This latest offering from the powerhouse brand harnesses whitening and anti-ageing in one capsule. It’s infused with glutathione and collagen precursors and provides an added bonus: a healthy dose of Vitamin C.

Cosmo Skin – Contains Primeform Glutathione which effectively inhibits formation of eumelanin (dark melanin) and synthesizes Phaeomelanin (light melanin).

Met Tathione – A certified Japanese treasure, Met helps strengthen the immune system, removes toxins from the liver and protects the body from free radical damage.

Weekend chic: Kelly Misa

Kelly Misa

I couldn’t help but turn around when I saw Filipina model Kelly Misa pitching at a Samsung event. It was a Saturday, and Kelly was effortlessly cool and chic in a casual getup that enabled her to show off her long legs and natural-toned skin. Her style was something I would have worn on a hot summer day when I’d be fit again… LOL. On Kelly, everything looked natural.

here’s how the whole ensemble went:

A dress (cinched with a belt) from Topshop
Longchamp Le Pliage tote

I also took notice of her crystal-like statement necklace and she said it was from H & M:)

All about Generika Drugstore

Generika

Buying medicines can be an expensive proposition. I dread any member of the family getting sick, and I dread visiting drugstores even more. In emergency cases, it’s best to canvass prices because God only knows the leading chain (Mercury Drug!) can get very pricey. It was nice to know all about Generika in this info sheet provided by a publicist. I could consider buying here since am a great believer in generic drugs anyway.

Here are things to know about this growing brand. To quote:

All Generika Drugstore outlets offer free blood pressure monitoring, while blood sugar screening (FBS/RBS) as well as cholesterol screening can be availed for a very minimal fee. Generika Drugstore conducts Libreng Konsulta, Libreng Bunot days as part of its outreach program, while generic awareness presentations are held to educate senior citizens and other groups about generic drugs.

All stores are fully computerized and use a powerful and user-friendly point-of-sale (POS) application that was developed in-house and continues to be enhanced for the benefit of franchisees and their customers.

The doom of the broom with Electrolux Dynamica vacuum cleaner

Walis tambo

It’s a cultural thing. I’ve noticed that almost all households in the Philippines have a walis tambo. I don’t even know the English translation of the walis tambo but some people call it the “Baguio broom” due to the fact that it’s primarily produced in the mountain city. This is kinda weird since I’ve also lived in the faraway Visayas islands and they also have walis tambo and walis tingting there.

Do you imagine how old the walis tambo is? Am fairly sure it dates back to the Spanish era. That is why am wondering why it exists in this age of smart phones, Facebook and smart TV. Why haven’t we found an alternative to our walis and use vacuum cleaners like our counterparts in the Western world?

As for me, I have little affection left for the native walis, especially since it puts a drain on the family budget. Our trusted helper Dalisay, who works hard at cleaning the house, seems to be buying the broom every month. One of the reasons could be that it’s not of good quality. With time, the broom loses its fiber or its hair and when it goes “bald,” that’s the time to replace it. Not so efficient I must say!

As a busy working mom, I need household gadgets I can rely upon. I believe that with the right gadget or appliance, I can save precious time and money and still be able to focus on other things. The good thing with modernization (and the digital age) is that we can already delegate our important tasks on man-made machines. A good example is our electronic washer where I just set the timer on and it’s ready to wash the whole family’s clothes. No need to hire a labandera or laundrywoman!

So yes,am eyeing on a vacuum cleaner to clean our house without sweat. It would be a welcome treat for dear Dalisay who can then focus focus on taking care of baby Lucy (yes, she’s a great multi-tasker!) On weekends when am free, I can also be more inspired to clean the house. No more bending over and grappling with an almost bald walis tambo.

I’ve set my eyes on the Electrolux Dynamica to do the work for me. It’s a corded stick vacuum cleaner that can effectively clean hard floors, carpets and surfaces with ease. I also like the fact that it’s lightweight and of course easy to use. We’ve always depended on Electrolux as a trusted household appliance brand and I’m glad they’ve got a winner in Dynamica to help us say bye-bye to our old, antiquated broom days.

I need change! I want to start the doom of the broom. I need help!

Nike presents LeBron 8 PS signature shoe

Nike LeBron 8 PS

Nike presents LEBRON 8 PS, LeBron James’ first signature shoe featuring Hyperfuse construction. This kind of construction provides strong and lightweight lockdown support with a unique breathable quality difficult to attain in high-performance basketball footwear. It sheds 1.5 ounces from the regular season model (U.S. Men’s Size 9), making a statement as the 82-game season comes to a close and the playoffs begin. By creating a shoe that is lightweight, supportive, breathable and durable, the LEBRON 8 PS is the perfect weapon for the sprint at the end of the marathon, when the smallest detail can make all the difference.

″Heading into the final stretch of the season, the LEBRON 8 PS mirrors my evolving game as
strength and endurance are tested,″ said James. ″The lion symbol on the tongue of all three
versions of my eighth signature shoe keep me hungry and focused each time I lace up.″

Jason Petrie designed the LEBRON 8 series and collaborated closely with LeBron for the three-art series. ″One of the main things LeBron and I talked about early on was how do we develop a series of shoes that syncs with the change in his body and in his game over the course of the season, especially as he moves from the regular season into the intense and critical post-season,″ said Petrie. ″LeBron found success in the first two LEBRON 8 shoes and
we want to make sure we give him every advantage as he enters this intensified last run of the
season.″

Novuhair hair loss solution

Hair loss has always been a problem for me every time I give birth. It’s not nice leaving strands of hair everywhere I go, especially when I brush it. And somehow I get paranoid about being bald. Hubby tells me that a certain amount of hair fall is normal but it’s not enough for my worries.

According to scientific studies, the other factors contributing to hair loss are hereditary disorder, underlying medical illness, major surgery, hormonal problems, stress, air pollutants, exposure to sunlight, medications and infections.

NOVUHAIR Topical Scalp Lotion

I was glad to be acquainted with this product named Novuhair which has herbal shampoo and topical scalp lotion for problem hair. NOVUHAIR® claims it is the only brand in the market which uses a unique combination of hair growth stimulators such as virgin coconut oil, panax ginseng, centella asiatica, zingiber officinale, aloe barbadensis, biotin, peppermint, lemon grass, rosemary and lavender oils.

Shu Uemura Sakura Collection 2011 by Mika Ninagawa

Shu Uemura Sakura Collection by Mika Ninagawa

Shu Uemura is my fave make up brand. Among their products I have are a variety of eyeshadows, the UV Under Base, blush on and lipsticks. Quality is superb and they never let me down whenever I want to look good.

During my recent trip to Osaka, Japan with the hubby, I figured it was time to replenish my Mac Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation. My feet led me again to the Shu Uemura counter and there I saw the brand’s Sakura Collection 2011 featuring the colorful prints of Japanese photographer Mika Ninagawa. It’s a total eye candy all right and I didn’t hesitate to tell hubby to buy it for me (tee hee) I figured total price for powder foundation plus the attractve case with the flower prints is US$50. I just love the packaging. It makes me look forward to putting on my make up! :D

Fashion file: Ginger King Villavicencio of The Legend Villas

Ginger King-Villavicencio

I recently attended a luncheon hosted by The Legend Villas to introduce their new dishes. I couldn’t help but admire the classic style of the hotel’s young (daughter of) owner and executive Ginger King Villavicencio. It was a bright, sunny day in Manila and Ms. Villavicencio was all made up without being overdressed for our afternoon by the pool. The occasion certainly didn’t call for “underdressed” as facing us in a sexy halter top would have been unbecoming too.

Ginger channels my favorite style icons Princess Diana and Audrey Hepburn in the following ensemble: fitted jacket by local clothes retailer K & Company, blue undershirt, white slim pants, an authentic Cartier watch and a knotted Chanel pearl necklace.

Thumbs up! :D
