Gray Hair at 26

Image
That white strand you see at the back of my phablet is not a cat hair that strayed in my clothes, but an actual gray hair that I got from my hair one day while I was fixing my hair.  And it hit me - I'm getting old.  I never thought that I would get it at 26. I was thinking in the course of early 30s maybe but not now!  I may sound that I am over reacting on this, but  I don't want to get gray hair on a young age.  I've researched the possible causes of it and maybe one of the possible causes is stress although there is no scientific explanation on this. Another probable cause is a vitamin B-12 deficiency or problems with the pituitary gland or the thyroid gland which can be reversible according to Web MD.  I am not against people that have premature gray hair because its not a medical problem. I just don't understand why I am getting this at my age. WHY?!? I remember talking to my Best Boy Friend about this and he jokes that I am slowly tur

When you felt like dying

Walking almost 10 blocks just to get a ride home is something I don't like to do - but I have to unless I want to sleep on a park bench in a place I barely knew existed in the map. Yes. I almost had that thought in mind but remembered I had 100 pesos in my pocket so I can still manage na makauwi. Ang weird lang talaga ng utak ko.

The Beauty of the Dead Sea with Jordan's Premier Beauty Secrets

Image
I can honestly say that this week was by far the most stressful week I've had. I had to be literally on the road as early as 7:30AM since last Tuesday and would get home at around 12 midnight. I wasn't wearing any make up at all but it was really great because I discovered something that refreshed my skin not just for the day but I can say for the entire week! Last Friday I was invited with a few beauty bloggers to discover Beauty Secrets which is the only brand in the world that has the widest range of facial mud products that come from the Dead Sea.  They are already available in 65 countries from the Middle East to the United States of America and it will now be available this December here in the Philippines! How awesome right?  One of the highlights of the program is they did a demo of the mud mask on  some bloggers which I actually was included. They mentioned that Beauty Secrets Facial Mud has 21 minerals like Magnesium, Potassium

Weigh Your Options with Reducin

Image
Aging is frequently the reason cited as to why people gain weight and have their body shape deteriorate. This is certainly true. Physically, when we age, our metabolism slows down. Behaviorally, our habits change as well. We become busier with various aspects in life - work, family and friends. How can we fit in time to work on ourselves? Is that a valid excuse? No. You can’t let your health go into disarray just because you can’t properly manage your schedule. Living, just like any activity, has to be managed. Prioritization must be embedded in making life choices. Reduce time spent on less important activities. After all, what could be more important than staying healthy to gain more time living? Start practicing addition by subtraction with Reducin. Reducin is a 120mg capsule of Orlistat, a gastric and pancreatic lipase inhibitor for obesity management. It works by preventing some of the fat in foods eaten from being absorbed in the intestines then excreting these fat throu

Beyond Politics: Congressman Roman Romulo and Shalani Soledad-Romulo

Ever thought of what a married life is like with Congressman Romulo and Ms. Shalani Soledad-Romulo? Both are known as politicians but how about as a married couple? I was really honored to be part of a selected number of bloggers that had a sit down and very casual talk over afternoon snacks courtesy of Ms. Shalani last October 29 at their humble home. Wearing a pink polo shirt, dark washed jeans, and a pair of formal shoes Congressman Romulo looked very casual but still fit for business meetings while Ms. Shalani wore a pink collared shirt, blue straight cut jeans and a pair of espadrilles you wouldn't notice they are one of the most known political couples in the Philippines.  Their love story actually is not a fairy tale type but more of a lot of connections and coincidences. I asked how their first date as a couple was and Congressman Romulo actually told us that even before that happened there were a lot of cancellations that occured because both were busy w

Filipino Food is slowly emerging in the world of culinary arts, but unfortunately some of the authentic and traditional Filipino food and cooking techniques are slowly dying and we need to find a way to preserve these authentic and traditional food.  The Philippine Culinary Heritage Movement, a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion and preservation of Philippine cuisine, celebrates locally made heirloom Filipino food products and Philippine agriculture produce through its various projects and advocacy. With its aim to preserve Philippine cuisine, they hold general member meetings to present new ideas, welcome new members and also update all the members with the status of the group.
