Eau Thermale Avene, the leading French dermo-cosmetic brand officially launches its latest offering. The Skin Recovery Cream DEFI (Device for Exclusive Formula Integrity) joins the brand’s roster of products that are ideal for hypersensitive, intolerant and allergic skin.
The Eau Thermale Avene Skin Recovery Cream DEFI debuts this latest innovation at the ground floor of SM Department Store’s beauty section in Makati City.
Customers can look forward to a week-long event marked by various exciting activities. Shoppers can participate in a photo contest where they can get the chance to win Eau Thermale Avene products, free derma consultations from certified dematologists, personalized notebook as freebies for every purchase of the Skin Recovery Cream and many more.
Sterile Cosmetics
The Skin Recovery Cream was developed as part of Eau Thermale Avene’s product roster under the STERILE COSMETICS line. These products comply with a stringent charter based on 3 key points:
1 Sterilization throughout production 2 Rigorous selection of only essential ingredients
3 A perfectly patented hermetic sealing system called “DEFI”. This cap ensures that the product inside does not come into contact with the air so there is no need to preserve it since the product remains sterile until use.
Sterile Cosmetics guarantee formulas with absolutely no preservatives or substances with incidental preservative function (unlisted preservatives). Since preservatives do not affect the formula’s efficacy, Sterile Cosmetics also means that your skin is getting only what’s essential and that it offers unique safety even for the most sensitive skin.
For Hypersensitive, Intollerand, and Allergic Skin
The Philippines’ tropical weather poses challenges to your skin. The high humidity and unforgiving sun can cause irritation. But with the Skin Recovery Cream your skin can be protected from the harsh effects of the environment as well as the cosmetics you tend to pile on.
This product helps protect skin and soothes irritation and restores the hydrolipidic film thanks to Parcerine®. This patented formula contained in Eau Thermale Skin Recovery Cream effectively alleviates and protects skin, restores the skin barrier, and reduces the skin reactivity.
To know more about Eau Thermale Avene Skin Recovery Cream, you may visit Greenbelt 5, Mercury Drug in Glorietta 3 and SM Makati Department store. And for all the latest about Eau Thermale Avene, like our official FB page via www.facebook.com/EauThermaleAvenePH.

I live in a household of chocoholics and my mom, the least chocoholic of the bunch LOVES Cadbury Dairy Milk. Whenever I bring home a bar or 3 she always gets first dibs – and this from a self-professed non-chocoholic. 😀
I recently found out that the limited edition Christmas flavors are back. Yey! Oh what a joy it would be to give these special chocolates to my special people.
Cadbury Dairy Milk Christmas Flavors – who deserves these special treats?
My mom deserves a treat
For my beautiful mom, the person who is always there for me no matter what, I would give her the Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Mousse. With its light and airy chocolate-flavored cream enveloped in classic milk chocolate shell, she is sure to love it and ask for more.
Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Mousse
Mom likes to eat her chocolate before sleeping, as a light snack. I hope she will be able to control herself and stop at just one. Just to be sure I will eat with her. 😀
My daughter deserves a treat
My fashionista daughter, Erika, is sure to love the Cadbury Dairy Milk French Vanilla. She likes her chocolate light and not too chocolatey … which makes this the perfect variant for her.
Cadbury Dairy Milk French Vanilla
A bite into this exquisite flavor will plunge her into the smooth, soft, silky center filled with light and delectable French vanilla cream.
This sophisticated flavor is definitely a match for my classy kid. 🙂 And, for sure, her baby, Star, will love it, too! But I’ll taste it first just to make sure. 😀
My sisters deserves a treat
my younger sisters
The Cadbury Dairy Milk Black Forest deserves a person who likes to live a little and experiment with flavors. Consider this … you combine your Cadbury Dairy Milk with chocolate cookies and red jellies and you get the perfect combination of crunchy and chewy wrapped in delicious chocolatey goodness!
It’s a two in one deal! Therefore, I cannot, in all conscience give it to just one person. I’ll live a little, too, and give it to both my sisters, Tina, and Gigi … then we three can share it, hehehe.
Cadbury Dairy Milk Black Forest
How much are these these luscious treats?
Cadbury Dairy Milk Black Forest, Cadbury Dairy Milk French Vanilla, and Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Mousse are available in 180g packs for a suggested retail price of P180.00. Hurry and get all flavors – available until supplies last! #FreeTheJoy this Christmas with Cadbury Dairy Milk!
Cadbury Dairy Milk’s limited edition Christmas flavors are available in all leading supermarkets.
Mrs. Philippines Globe 2016 will be crowned tonight! For the last couple of weeks I’ve posted a couple of things about Mrs. Globe. The first for Mrs. Bacolod Globe and then later the article that introduces the finalists for tonight’s event.
I had the pleasure of attending the media event where these 17 lovely women were introduced. Along with the former winners they are a beautiful sight to behold.
Meeting the candidates for Mrs. Philippines Globe 2016
During the event (where candidate number 1, Darlene Conde was not present) we were able to see them walk, pose, dance a little bit, and get to know the candidates a little better. It was clear from the start that the media had favorites. These were the candidates that were asked the most questions. To be fair they mostly answered very well. There may have been a fumble or two, but mostly they were forgivable.
Describe yourself in ONE WORD
At some point in the evening this lovely lady (Mrs. Globe 2013, Sheryl Lynn Baas, according to the Philippine Star) asked a question and addressed it to all the other candidates who were not addressed by the media. This was her question … “if there was ONE WORD that would describe you, what word would that be and why?”
This took some thought. Even I, though not a contestant, had to stop and think … what if I had been asked that question? Many of the candidates answered well enough but the one that almost made me choke on my spit was the one that said she could not come up with one word but rather a phrase and the phrase she gave was (drum roll, please) … BREAST FEEDER.
Jaw hit table. Breast feeder? Seriously?!? And, her reason … because she was literally just breast feeding just before stepping into the venue for the event. So, of course, my next action was to look down at her chest and I noticed she was small breasted which made me wonder if she had enough milk for her baby.
Ok, ok … That might have been mean. And maybe she just couldn’t think of anything else by the time it was her turn to speak. But, it also displayed to me that this lady was not good at following instructions … neither was she graceful under pressure … because if I were a judge (which I’m not) that was a big misstep.
Nova Christine dela Cruz
Dr. Nova Christine dela Cruz, Dermatologist
The candidate I am rooting for is number 15, Dr. Nova Christine dela Cruz. I have known Chris for about 17 years. She was my gym buddy, was and is my dermatologist, but more importantly, she is my friend. I am very picky about my friends so for me to call her that means that she has a wonderful heart … and is truly beautiful inside and out.
She told me months ago that she was joining the competition but it completely slipped my mind until I saw her step out in that lovely blue dress.
Genevieve Uy
Genevieve Uy
Another candidate who I thought was beautiful and was able to answer the questions properly was number 12, Genevieve Uy. If my memory serves me correctly she is a “plain” housewife with a doting husband.
I wanted to interject at that point that there is nothing “plain” about being a housewife because it is the most difficult job of all. 🙂
Pageant Night
Tonight the audience will be witness to our lovely ladies in swimsuits, dancing, beautiful gowns, dancing, intelligent answers to thought-provoking questions, dancing … and did I say dancing already? 😀
Who will take home the crown of Mrs. Philippines Globe 2016 and will go on to represent the country in Hainan, China for the Mrs. Globe 2016 competition? Your guess is as good as mine and in just a few hours we will know.
Special Awards
Aside from the coveted Mrs. Philippines Globe title, candidates will also vie for the coveted Woman of Substance title alongside other special awards such as:
Achievement of the Year
Best Talent of the Year
Career Woman of the Year
Charity or Advocacy of the Year
Darling of the Press
Entrepreneur of the Year
Husband of the Year – which, I suppose, will be awarded to the most loving husband of one of the candidates 🙂
Most Beautiful Face

Most Elegant Woman
Personality of the Year
Solane Mother of the Year

About the Mrs. Globe Pageant
Founded in 1996, Mrs. Globe is one of the biggest international beauty pageants for married women and single mothers. It celebrates beauty and culture goodwill, tourism awareness, and charitable acts through pageantry and competition.
Mrs. Philippines Globe is presented by: Samsung Hall, Lucky Rainbow Makati, SM Tickets, Solane, and Bio-Oil. This pageant is organized by EVI Marketing Communications.
Thomas Edison is credited as the inventor of the light bulb in 1879. Since then the light bulb has become a necessity in every home and business and has evolved not just in appearance but also in performance.
Homes and establishments rely on emergency lights as their main arsenal against power outages, being that they light up as soon as the power trips.
Our usual solution to power outages
Whenever the power is down most people end up doing one or all of the following:
bring out some candles
if they have gas lamps, they bring those out, too
or they bring out/turn on emergency lights, especially along stairwells.
Emergency lights that are available commercially usually come in 2 forms … industrial and portable. Industrial emergency lights are often wall-mounted while portable, as the term suggests, is something that you can carry around.
In both cases they are essentially battery packs with light bulbs attached. In both cases the entire unit is heavy and cumbersome.
Wall-mounted emergency lights are often left plugged the entire time and are equipped with a sensor so that as soon as it gets dark the light will turn on. Portable emergency lights are charged for a few hours then stored and only brought out when needed.
The Nxled Emergency Light Bulb is the solution
Tessa Prieto-Valdes endorses the Nxled Emergency Bulb
Nxled, Next Generation Lighting, offers an innovative solution to power failures with the new Nxled 6 Watts Emergency Bulb. This revolutionary bulb works like a normal bulb but better: it can be attached to a regular socket in any part of the house and charges while it’s being used. When a power failure occurs, it will automatically light up, thus switching into emergency lighting!
The Nxled Emergency Bulb, powered by a 3.7V 3000mAh lithium battery, can remain lit for up to 6 hours. It also has the option to be used as a carry-around bulb. It comes with a portable mother socket so you can simply carry it indoors or outdoors.
And because it’s LED, you can save energy and costs by up to 90% compared to a 50 Watt incandescent bulb with the same brightness. It also does not contain mercury and is environment friendly, with an average lamp life of 30,000 hours.
The Nxled emergency bulb comes with a two-year warranty and is now available in leading hardware stores nationwide at an introductory price of PHP 495.
That’s 495 pesos! This is less expensive than other emergency lights found in the market today.
