Hygiene Essential: PH Care Feminine Wipes



Whenever someone would raid my bag, a sight of a pack of feminine wipes will not be missed.  Just like my other essentials, it has become a regular thing inside my bag. I use it for almost everything, but most of all I use it to take care of my self ‘down there’ hygienically.   


It’s impossible not to carry one whenever I go out and have to use the public toilets.  As much as I don’t feel comfortable using a public toilet, I can’t avoid it that’s why I make sure that I’m armed with a clinically proven wet tissue to use in wiping the toilet seat first before peeing and another piece to cleanse ‘the part’ after.  


It’s also great that I got used with it – bringing/keeping wet wipes inside my bag – because most of the time when my kid and I are out, he often gets himself dirty while eating or playing.  The wipes always come handy to clean him immediately :).


My preferred brand of feminine wash is pH Care because it’s ph-balanced and mildly scented. It also has a cooling effect that really freshens during that 'time of month'. I also don’t experience any skin irritation using it since pH Care is hypo-allergenic. Plus the packaging is very conveniently sized to fit my bag even in a pouch.
 


pH Care Feminine Wipes Cool Wind and other variants is a product of Unilab available in drug stores and supermarkets nationwide.  To more about their products, visit their website at http://www.unilab.com.ph/.

Non-stop Events and Fun Parties at Resorts World Manila''s Thrillathon



Last Friday, August 2, the three-and-a-half month long of exciting events and shows in Resorts World Manila kicked-off via their press launch held at Passion, Maxims Hotel. It was a privilege to be invited as part of the media guests and I’m glad I came because I wouldn’t have witness an amazing preview of performances in store for Resorts World Manila’s Thrillathon.




Some of the highlights from the press launch were performances from Mitoy Yonting, finalist of the ‘The Voice Philippines’ and the impromptu concert-like performance of Mr. Arthur Manuntag, Mitoy and Nyoy Volante.  What I like about this Thrillathon, there will be more of these world-class performances from our local artists that will be entertaining the patrons and guests of RWM all for free! Now isn’t that amazing? Resorts World Manila is making the Filipino artists shine brighter and be recognized again especially the OPM icons.

Calling all visual artists as Resorts World Manila is also bringing back its Pinoy Ultimate Jeepney Design Challenge. Up for grab is a P100, 000.00 grand prize for the most creative entry.  This contest is part of RWM’s corporate social responsibility in cooperation with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and the Department of Tourism (DOT).  For more information on Pinoy Ultimate Jeepney Design Challenge, visit RWM’s website.

Achieving Milestones with Alaska NutriBuild 345


As a mom to a now 5-year old toddler, one of the biggest challenges is to ensure that he's getting the right amount of nutrients for his age and he'll enjoy the food I offer him without questions.  To my dismay, he's a very picky eater. If for any consolation, he is 'magana' when he eats but there are just specific foods that he wants to eat and some are not sufficient enough to provide him the nutrition he needs.


This dilemma has taken its toll on me once again when I had the chance to attend an advocacy project sponsored by Alaska NutriBuild 345 in a preschool in Tondo, Manila.  The GilDel Development Center preschool invited their students' parents to attend a quick activity that will help them guide their kids in achieving their milestones.  I can so relate so I made sure I’m taking a nice seat in a corner when a nutritionist gathered the parents for a quick orientation. Because the preschool years (ages 3,4,5) are critical years in a child's development, the nutritionist provided the parents the basic information that they can refer to, to make sure that their kids are growing up healthy and happy in all aspects.
