Three Things to Remember on My Next Car Purchase

August 23, 20170

This is a sponsored post. All opinions are mine.

I bought my first car in 2010. Truth be told, there are a few things I would have done differently. Call it buyer’s remorse. But fact is, it is a major purchase, and every step towards making that decision is crucial.

Here are three things that I am taking a mental note of,  the next time I buy another car.

Research

Yes, I believe I did some research. But at the back of my mind I was set on this particular car. Research should be fueled by the purpose of getting the best bang for my buck. Buying on a whim is a total waste. (more…)

Avon Fashions Declares “Confidence is the New Sexy” as it champions body positivity and denounces body shaming.

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

Avon Fashions presented its latest line of Intimate Apparel, highlighted by the new Jamila Bra & Panty Set, which gives the right fit for curvy, plus size, petite, or athletically built women.

During the event, four women took turns delivering monologues to share how they feel about body stereotypes, and how they have come to discover that confidence is what “sexiness” is all about.

“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 First Zumba Experience and Robinsons Supermarket Wellness Festival

July 27, 20160

Robinsons Place Antipolo Wellness Festival

What better way to jump into wellness weekend than to have my first ever zumba experience! Zumba has been around for years now but I never really got myself to do it. I’ve been okay with my 1 minute, twice a day planking and squats, thank you. At least, with my crazy busy schedule, 3 minutes is all I can spare throughout the day. If I get lucky, I get to do Jeff’s 4 minute interval training. But that’s just once a week and that doesn’t really count for a legit workout when I’m not persistent at it.

Along with fellow mom bloggers, we trooped to Tipulo Modern Filipino Cuisine in Antipolo last weekend.

Woohoo! #FirstTime to #Zumba today. Thank you, @robsupermarket #WellnessCaravan

So Zumba, I went, with 4 other cool mommy bloggers who already knew a thing or two about this zumba craze.  I was surprised that there were some moves similar to Hip Hop Abs, which I used to do some years back. The stretches and crazy lounges were enough to remind me, thank you.

That’s me wearing a black dri-fit shirt giving out a ‘gasp’ I was pretty unsure of what I was doing as the music went off. Yikes! (more…)

Three Simple Health Strategies That Can Help You Look And Feel Better

July 2, 20160

Individuals who are serious about leading incredible lives should know that getting healthy is one of the most effective ways to realize the goal. When you attain a high level of wellness, you have more energy and are less susceptible to illnesses that can preclude you from working with expedience and excellence. If you’re ready to embrace a healthy lifestyle, you can make it happen by implementing the following strategies:

1. Stop Tolerating Disease.

Unfortunately, many people adopt an attitude of tolerance when they acquire a disease. This attitude manifests through the forms of things like taking medications that temporarily alleviate painful symptoms rather than eliminating the condition entirely. Don’t adopt this modality or you could get on the road to lifelong disease that compromises your mood, agility, and mental well-being. If you think you may have a condition and want to attain a clear, accurate diagnosis, you can attain help from companies such as Diagnostic Automation. (more…)

Take iRegalo, for instance. This brand new eCommerce platform targets the overseas Filipino workers who are looking into giving unique gift packages to their loved ones.
