Designer Boyet Fajardo: Divine Inspiration

adminJune 13, 20170

Many might perceive “fashion” to be something reserved for a chosen few, or only for those deemed fit to grace a magazine: celebrities, models, or those living the so-called “high life.” However, to designer Boyet Fajardo – now a successful household name in Filipino fashion design – his work in fashion is a way to make lives better for more people. As a recipient of miracles himself, he desires nothing less than to be one to others.

A Big Hit

He pioneered Plus Size fashion in the Philippines. He says that before, women who were on the bigger side were not thought of as deserving to wear something as beautiful as their smaller counterparts. Or, they were given awful euphemisms.

“Before, when you ask, ‘where is the big size?’ you are pointed to the dark corner where there are nothing but dasters (house dress). And we called those who asked “matron, donya, lola.” There are so many words for them, which were really bad. It’s as if they have no right to wear something nice! And no designer would dare to touch plus sized clothing. Big women were relegated to nothing but dark colors, ¾ sleeves and closed necks. “God – they were like suman! So my line was really a big hit!” A big hit indeed, also for Robinson’s who had enough foresight to sign him up immediately. (more…)

5 Reasons Why You Should Regularly Take Vitamin C

adminJune 6, 20170

There are a handful reasons why we should regularly take our Vitamin C, here are a few of them.

If there’s one vitamin I remember taking as a child, it is Vitamin C. Its sour taste is readily identifiable, and easily gives a sense of recall. Growing up, it is also the one vitamin we never ran out of.

Because I tend to be hyperacidic when I take Ascorbic Acid, I can only take the non-acidic type like #BeWellC I love that it has the higher rate of absorption. This means less #VitaminC is flushed out. #health #wellness

A post shared by jenaspacio (@jenaspacio) on Jun 5, 2017 at 10:19pm PDT

Along the way, I acquired hyperacidity, which prevents me from taking Vitamin C in its most common form – Ascorbic Acid. These days, I cannot be more happy that Vitamin C now comes in the form of Sodium Ascorbate. Because the truth of the matter is, vitamins like this play a crucial role for our body to function as it should.

Here are Five Reasons Why You should take Vitamin C

1. Beauty

Helps in collagen-production which keeps skin looking youthful. Vitamin C is an imperative building block of our skin, hair, and nails. You will also get maximum results if you happen to take anti-aging supplements. (more…)

Press Release: Meditate Towards Lasting Happiness

adminJune 5, 20170

Think of the human mind as a hard drive where all your life experiences are stored like pictures. We’re all familiar with the phrase, “I just can’t shake that picture out of my mind”, and this is also true in the metaphorical sense. We just can’t let go of certain experiences, and this affects how we go about the world. Often, this holds us back from achieving our true potential self because we are bogged down by the emotions and memories that our minds have held on to for so long.

We tend to look outside ourselves for the answers to life’s pressing problems, but to practitioners of meditation the answer always lies within ourselves. Makati Meditation and Ortigas Meditation are two groups in the Philippines that encourage the practice of subtraction meditation as a method towards lasting happiness. (more…)

Gloww Collagen Capsule and Collagen Powdered Drink Review

adminMay 26, 20170

My first encounter with Gloww was in 2012. I was pretty impressed how my skin stayed fair despite the summer trotting I did with my family back then – including a week long tour along the streets (and river – Mekong) of Vietnam and Cambodia. I was almost sure that I was going to be a notch darker since the heat of Manila was considerably more forgiving than that of Cambodia’s! Truth be told, I would’ve stayed in the hotel if it were up to me. I loved that I stayed just as fair! 🙂

Gloww Capsules

Five years since, and I am getting reacquainted with Gloww Collagen Capsules.

Gloww helps feed skin’s CLBT. CLBT being Color, Luminosity, Brightness and Transparency. Its one of a kind SKHN (Skin, Health and Nutrient) Complex reinforces collagen, detoxifies your skin, upgrades blood dissemination, shields it from unsafe UV beams and free radicals.

Gloww Capsules include these following natural ingredients: Marine Protein, Horsetail Extract ,Lycopene, Green Tea Extract, Lemon Bioflavonoids, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Vitamin C , Grape Seed Extract, Natural Betacarotene, Pine Bark Extract,Vitamin E.

Recommended dosage is 2 capsules per day for two months, and 1 capsule per day after two months.

Gloww Collagen Capsules retails for P960 per box, with 30 capsules.

Gloww Collagen Powdered Drink

When a product is already good, and am pretty satisfied in its overall benefits, I don’t exactly expect for it to go another extra mile by coming up with yet another awesome product. But this is exactly what Gloww has done and I cannot be more thrilled! 🙂

I initially wondered what the difference is from my old favorite Gloww capsules. Apparently, Gloww Collagen is powered by Verisol. Verisol is a product of advanced German technology that makes the collagen more bioavailable as it is absorbed by the gut, and allows for the repair of damaged skin to be more efficient. The efficient absorption helps the skin to get the most out of your collagen.

After around two months of taking Gloww Collagen Capsules and Gloww Collagen Drink

My skin is noticeably more supple. I don’t need to slather on as much moisturizer as I used to. I’m 40 and I was wearing very light make up in this photo. Of course, I wouldn’t get caught without my brows, but on the face, no primer, just a regular BB cream (which explains the shine haha!) and lipstick. 🙂

Although I did mention that I remained fair with the constant taking of Gloww supplement, I have long corrected in my mind the misconception that it is a whitening agent. It actually is not, the skin remains fair essentially because of the detoxification action of the chemical breakdown of all the ingredients combined. It helps keep the skin sustain its youthful glow.

The recommended dosage for Gloww Collagen is 1 sachet per day. This food supplement is sold for P90 per sachet or P2,700 per box of 30 sachets.

Gloww Collagen Powdered Drink Ingredients include: Collagen hydrolysate (Verisol), mixed fruit dry flavour, citric acide anhydrous, sucralose and carmine (coloring agent)

My love affair with #GlowwCapsules goes back to 2012. Explains the multiple write-ups on the blog ➡ KikayCorner.net I was won over by its all-natural ingredients right on: Marine Protein, Horsetail Extract, Green Tea Extract, Lemon Bioflavanoids, Collagen, Ascorbic Acid, Tomato and Grape Seed Extract Some of the other benefits: Gloww cleanses & detoxifies the skin, improves micro circulation of the skin and nourishes it for a healthy & glowing look, protects the skin from free radical damage and prevents aging & provides strength and elasticity to the skin for a smoother and firmer skin.

Another undeniable and pleasant side effect of Gloww Collagen on me is the non-incidence of dry eyes. I’m not surprised, actually. Since I’ve learned that collagen helps lubricate joints and eye tissues, resulting to dry eyes prevention. “Dry eyes” has been an incessant problem that has bugged me for some years now. My years of freelancing and virtual assistant tasks have taken their toll on my poor eyes. I love that I no longer have to deal with it for as long as I’m taking my Gloww Collagen supplement.

Based on studies, after two months of continued use of Gloww Collagen, the following effects are observed:

Improved skin elasticity
Improved skin moisture
Wrinkle reduction
Even after a 4week washout phase, effects are still evident.

Gloww Collagen is also BFAD approved, which for me, is a non-negotiable when I’m looking into a long-term supplement. I’ve been won over by the product from 2012, and I am even more pleased with Gloww now that it comes in this delightfully-flavored powdered drink.

Top 3 Reasons to Wear a Wig

adminMay 25, 20170

This is a sponsored post. All opinions are mine.

Gone are the days when a wig have to look like one! A good quality wig can actually bring out the best in your overall look. Here are top 3 reasons to wear a wig:

1. Stylish

Whoever says that wigs are limited to old ladies? With the assistance of wigs, you may now set out to try different things with a short hairdo without having to trim your locks! Go and experiment, and have a different look every chance you get. No limits!

2. The luxury of not having to style

Whether we like it or not, bad hair days are as real as they can get. With wigs, the compelling reason of styling is thrown out the window altogether. You no longer have to spend innumerable hours styling and keeping up your hair! You can change from short to long, wavy to straight or dark to blonde, or vice versa in no time. (more…)

Avon Fashions makes a strong point of celebrating women’s real beauty and sexiness with its new campaign, “Confidence is the New Sexy”.

“A woman may be strong, curvy, petite, and fuller, but these are only shapes and sizes,” the four women proclaimed in unison. “Our skin is a record of our milestones, our bones are barks that withstood storms, our muscles are symbols of our endurance, and our shape is our fingerprint. The true measure of our beauty is in how much we embrace who we truly are. That’s real confidence and that’s what makes us truly sexy.” (more…)

My nightmare experiences with ISPs

The incessant issue has always been our country’s key internet providers’ inability to deliver, as they continue to shortchange their subscribers with speed that belongs to the dogs. I can be very patient but because of all the nightmares I’ve experienced, I have personally have had it with each of them. And this being a nationwide problem is something that resonates with me.

To give a brief backgrounder, we have shifted to 5 different ISPs since 2009! As fed up as we are, we are left but to put up with the lesser evil. And please don’t get me started with each company’s two year lock-in period, which feels a lot like being imprisoned by coldblooded capitalists, to be honest. I really don’t know what else to call them after being ever consistent with their bad service. I have in fact, blogged about some of our very unfortunate experiences. (more…)
