Long hair, the gold standard of beautiful hair in the Philippines

Long hair, the gold standard of beautiful hair in the Philippines

If you randomly survey Filipinas on their gold standard of beautiful hair, chances are, you will get the answer of long, straight, and shiny hair. In the Philippines, long hair is put on a pedestal (hence the compliment “haba ng hair”), not solely for its beauty, but also because of how challenging it is to maintain.

The truth about long hair is that it’s more susceptible to damage and breakage. Women who grow their hair long would have more frequent trips to the salon to get a trim or a treatment just to keep hair damage at bay.

But the lifelong question is — is this really the fate of women who love to keep their locks long?

New Pantene Long Hair Solutions just unlocked the secret to damage-free hair

Pantene has just unlocked this age-old secret ingredient that keeps long hair beautiful and strong, and it lies in the power of the rice oil essence. From a 2000-year old Japanese tradition of using rice water to wash hair to keep long hair beautiful, Pantene distilled and extracted the rice oil essence in Wakayama, home to the Aragi-jima Rice Terraces, and blended this ingredient with its Pro-Vitamin formula.

Pantene Long Hair SolutionsThe New Pantene Long Hair Solutions with Pro-Vitamin Formula & Japanese Rice Oil Essence contains Pro-Vitamin B5 to help fortify the lipids inside each hair strand while the Japanese Rice Oil Essence strengthens its outer coating. It ultimately repairs damaged hair and keeps it protected from external factors, allowing the hair to grow longer, stronger, and beautifully smoother.

Head & Shoulders Gives Exclusive Sneak Peek to Bea And Alden’s Movie

Head & Shoulders Gives Exclusive Sneak Peek to Bea And Alden’s Movie

Staying at home for months has had us bawl and cry our hearts out over a number of love teams in the numerous romcoms and dramas we’ve binged over the quarantine. But with the current situation, there has been a lack of local films as our favorite OTPs are on hiatus on the big screen. Like their dramas, the lack of local romcoms has been heartbreaking, gut-wrenching, and has left us craving the “kilig”.

But that didn’t stop Head & Shoulders from serving us with the electrifying on-screen chemistry of Alden Richards and Bea Alonzo. With their new endorsement and the release of their advertisement, Bea and Alden gave us all the kilig we’ve been wanting to feel and that made them undeniably one of the biggest love teams to date!

The comments sections of their Compliment Wars and First Impressions videos blew up with fans raving and requesting for a movie team-up. While we’re not able to enjoy a big-screen release with Bea and Alden as a love team yet, we actually get to see them test their chemistry with a short “itch not you” skit. We don’t want to spill all the beans for you, but Alden had a valid reason why ‘itch not Bea.’

Salamat sa alaga, Lola Remedios

Salamat sa alaga, Lola Remedios

Have you heard of Lola Remedios?  No, she isn’t the kindly grandmother who lives down the street who dotes over her apos and all the kids who come visit her in the neighborhood.  But she may as well be, as that is how much she cares.

Ingredients of Lola Remedios

Lola Remedios is a soothing tonic with all-natural (traditional) ingredients – ginger, honey, fennel, mint, and clove.

  • Ginger treats muscular aches and pains, sore throats, and cramps.
  • Honey is a potential treatment for cough and cold symptoms and gives symptomatic relief to sleep difficulty due to upper respiratory tract infections. It also increases our immunity and has antioxidant and antimicrobial effects.
  • Fennel provides relief from stomach pains caused by indigestion and gas.
  • Mint has menthol which has a known cooling effect that relieves sore throat, nasal congestion, and muscle aches. It is often also prescribed to address nausea, diarrhea, indigestion, headache, and a cold.
  • Clove is known for its antifungal, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and anesthetic properties.

How to take Lola Remedios

Its taste is reminiscent of Halls Menthol candy (original flavor).  It is a thick syrup with a strong menthol flavor and is very easy to take.  There are three steps:

Each box contains 12 sachets with 15 ml. of tonic each and is safe to take 3 times a day at most.  Take one sachet, give it a good shake, tear off a corner, and just pour the contents into your mouth and drink it.

Give the sachet a good share, tear a corner, and then pour its contents in your mouth and get ready for that cool, mentholated syrup to slide down your throat.

Does it address any illness?

When I started taking Lola Remedios it was because I was looking for something to ease a sore throat.  As a teacher and as a member of a church choir, preserving my voice is very important.  But easing a sore throat is just one thing that Lola Remedios is supposed to be able to address.

It is actually touted as a cure-all for general malaise, also known colloquially as lamig.  You know how sometimes you have a general feeling of unwellness but you know you aren’t really sick?  THAT is lamig.  It usually manifests as aches and pains all over your body, a heavy feeling, and hard knots on the shoulders and back.

Speaking of which, my sister just passed behind me right now saying she is turning in early because she isn’t feeling too good so I gave her a box of Lola Remedios and told her to “take one sachet tonight and let me know how you feel in the morning”.

You can purchase Lola Remedios at Mercury Drug, Watsons, and 7-11.  For more information about Lola Remedios, you can visit the website at http://www.lolaremedios.com. You can also follow Lola Remedios on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter with the account @lolaremediosph.  Because #LolaCares

Why should you invest in jewelry?

Why should you invest in jewelry?

Throughout the course of history, jewelry has been offered as a trophy, an amulet, and sometimes, even art.  These beautiful adornments continue to hold real meaning and value.  They perfectly symbolize love, a celebration of milestones, and of course, the ultimate representation of wealth.

The value of money and jewelry have always been intertwined.  Just like money, jewelry is also used today as currency, inheritance, and investment.  Investing in jewelry, however, means equipping yourself with the right knowledge and responsibility

To this day, both money and jewelry continue to be used as currency, inheritance, and investment. But investing in jewelry requires the right knowledge and responsibility.  Where the value of money fluctuates on a daily basis as evidenced by the foreign exchange market, the value of jewelry continues to grow every year.

Despite the many global economic downturns, including the current pandemic that has severely affected the world’s economies, the value of jewelry has held strong. Though the price of gold, gold jewelry, diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, and other gemstones and precious stones also fluctuates, its value however has never truly depreciated significantly. Their value continues to steadily appreciate over time.  This is perhaps the reason why many investors prefer investing in jewelry more because it is less risky than other markets.

“What’s beautiful about investing in jewelry is that it is timeless and its value does not diminish. Real jewelry becomes more valuable over time and it is a great investment asset to have as it pays dividends in the future,” said Tyzianna Teves of Just Jewels.
