NOVUHAIR turns favor with Holiday bash promo

So you’ve got your festive outfit set and the fancy gift wrapped for your “monito” or “monita”. All that’s left undone is a party season-perfect hairstyle. 

The fresh out of the shower look can be seductive yet temporary. Blame it to tropical climate, it can spoil your appearance, besides making you feel sweaty and stale. The heat and humidity brought about by extreme weather condition, likewise, dries out the locks easily and make it more fragile. 

Adding damage to your delicate strands are the chemical contents of various products on hand. From shampoo to conditioner and hair treatment, down to styling goods to groom it to your liking, their harsh synthetic materials jeopardize the natural oil and luster of your mane.

Because you are what you eat, the fate of your crowning glory is in the plate. Your diet must have the correct balance of vitamins and minerals to supply hair with all that it needs to become shiny and strong. So don’t overindulge, especially this time of the year when gastronomic feasts are spread almost everywhere you go. Be careful on what you take in, thinking that it’s also what you feed your ‘do.

Even stress can wear off the beauty and health of the tress. And that’s exactly what you should avoid this Yuletide season. Never put pressure on yourself just to please everyone. Just take it easy, let your hair down and party all night long. 

In this time of gratitude, NOVUHAIR makes everyday “a good hair day” for its valued patrons like you with its Christmas and Year-End Promo. Get an extra NOVUHAIR Herbal Shampoo 200 ml. worth P1,040 for FREE if you buy a NOVUHAIR 3-in-1 pack at participating WATSONS stores nationwide (DOH-FDA CCRR Permit No.: 967 s. 2017).

Red Ribbon brings a memorable birthday to Our Lady of Manaoag’s little patrons

A visit to the Our Lady of Manaoag brought an unexpected surprise to twenty youngsters as they arrived to a simple party where they received the most colorful treat: a chance to celebrate their birthday with their loved ones.

The eyes of the little ones gleamed at the sight of the blessings: a venue decorated with balloons, tables lined with the chocolate cakes, and their names carefully drawn in icing with a sweet “Happy Birthday!” greeting. For most of the youngsters, this will be their first birthday party and the first time they will be blowing out the candles of their own cake.

Recap of A Great Week with Under Armour PH - Assemble Your Armour Event

It was a Saturday and I thought it would be a great time to wander at a mall, window shop and dine to treat myself after a tiring week. Good thing because a dear friend called me and asked if I’m not busy and asked me to go with her to attend a fitness-related event. Out of plan, I said YES because first, I would love to catch up with her and secondly, a fitness event sounds interesting, hmmm.

So off I went to Chi Spa at Edsa Shangrila hotel and later found out that it was an exclusive event of a famous sports and fitness apparel brand, Under Armour. I got really excited seeing the yoga mats laid down on the floor plus seeing one of my celebrity girl crushes, Gretchen Ho having a chat with other people in the room is a real treat. I think it was quite bad that I wore dress for the event because I won’t be able to join the fitness activities prepared by Under Armour, tsk tsk. So when the activities started, I just stayed on the side and took photos and videos to put in this blog and partly cheering my friend Nikole as she do the exercises.

The first part is the Yoga and it was lead by Kali Huff, one of Under Armour Philippines ambassadress.

BORACAY TRIP 2017

Since March, the kids and I have been looking forward to the first week of September for our Boracay trip. Too say that the kids are super excited is an understatement - they've been counting the days and months prior to this much awaited #LaBoracayWithFambam.

I crammed the night before our flight because of a busy week doing things for an upcoming catering event. I slept late and woke up super early to cook breakfast and do more stuff, making sure we have enough stuff to bring for our four days’ vacation away from home. Personally, I'm excited to experience Boracay again for the third time but I'm more excited for my youngest son to experience a plane ride and 'Boracay' itself for the first time. This is also the first time we are travelling in quite a big group, our family of five plus eleven more from my in-laws. Mostly are first timers in Boracay so I'm stepping up to fix our schedules and itineraries when we get there.

At the Airport, we were three hours earlier, talking about too much excitement haha. The kids couldn't contain their excitement they've been running back and forth which causes them to feel hungry from time to time also, ugh!

Some photos in the airport of my super "kulit" 3-year old, Aidan:

KIDS’ DAY OUT: JUMP, FLY AND BOUNCE AT TRAMPOLINE PARK, GREENFIELD DISTRICT

I purchased these tickets to the trampoline park from Metrodeal a few months ago and when I was cleaning and sorting some files, I noticed that it will expire in three days so I immediately scheduled a day out for the kids even on a week day so the money won’t go to waste J.

Although I don’t like the idea of going at late in the afternoon because of tremendous traffic in Shaw Boulevard during these hours, we need to wait for the Kuya to get home from school. Trampoline Park is located at The Portal, Mayflower Street, Greenfield District, Mandaluyong. The place is very familiar because it was my workplace for almost six years and I can say that traffic then is not so much of a major issue as now.
