The end of the online revolution draws near but there is still time to get some great finds that could finish up your Christmas list. Here are a few that I spotted that I think you might enjoy, too. 🙂
Tuxun Mini Karaoke K068 Wireless Bluetooth Microphone with Mic Speaker (Gold)
Let’s admit it, Filipinos LOVE to sing … and Christmas parties (or any old party, for that matter) are just not complete without someone rocking the mic … preferably everyone. 😀
Now here is a common scenario … not enough mics to go around! Guess what? That is not a problem anymore if you have this baby … the Tuxun Mini Karaoke K068 Wireless Bluetooth Microphone. It comes in two (2) colors: gold and rose gold. I loved it so much that I bought one of each! 😀
This is what the description says:
Built-in high-quality chipset, it produces excellent sound quality with reverberation (echo).
No need to aim at the microphone, it can capture your voice with a pickup hole (translation: it is not unidirectional. It can pick up sound from the top and sides).
the effect is much like KTV, you will feel liking being on the scene of karaoke.
It supports almost all singing software no matter on the phone or on the computer (translation: it is compatible with most karaoke apps, whether for your tablet, phone, or computer).
With a 3.5mm audio jack, it can connect with Android, iOS phone, etc. (translation: you can connect it to your Android or iOS device via an audio jack).
Wireless Connection: You can connect with your phone with cable or Bluetooth (translation: you can connect either via wired (audio jack) or wireless (Bluetooth) connection).
You can practice singing, listen to music, and record songs without going to KTV (it is a wireless mic so, really, you can practice anywhere).
Package contents:
egg-like carrying case
3.5mm audio jack cable
micro USB charging cable
manual
The manual that comes with the package is in Chinese (I believe) and I could not understand a word of it so I searched for an English manual online. Click here to download the English manual.
My personal experience:
My nephew loves to invite friends over on the weekend to use my Major HD-10 Platinum Karaoke and we only have 1 (wired) mic. With the Tuxun Wireless Mic, I would sneak up on him and suddenly sing a duet. When he heard my voice magnified he was quite surprised because the sound came from behind him, not in front.
Take a look at the Tuxun Mini Karaoke K068 Wireless Bluetooth Microphone and you will notice something immediately … it has an unusual shape for a mic. As a matter of fact, the first time I saw it I thought it was a flashlight! Turns out the wide base is actually the speaker.
The top switch-slide is the volume control.
The middle switch-slide is the echo control.
The bottom button is not only the power button, it is also the button you press for pairing the mic with your device via Bluetooth
Does it really pair with Karaoke software?
I’ll be honest with you … I have no idea. I tried to use it with Smule but I couldn’t get it to work the way I wanted to. But that does not mean it won’t work with others, it just means I haven’t tried it with others yet. 😀
Sanosan Products
For baby and for you.
Sanosan Lotion, Bath and Shampoo, and Oil
Anyone with children will tell you that babies have very sensitive skin. This means that we cannot use just any old product on her.
We’ve tried several brands, from the brands available in the local groceries to products that arrive from relatives who send over balikbayan boxes.
Lately, though, we have tried some brands we have not heard of before until now, and one of those brands is Sanosan. I must confess, though, that we do not believe in using lotion and oil on a baby’s skin … mostly because in most cases they do not really have any dry skin at that young age.
I used the Sanosan Baby Oil to remove my makeup and it works like a dream! The Sanosan Baby lotion I set aside for use later when it turns cold and we start to experience dry skin … yes, Bubu included.
Sanosan Baby Shampoo
Sanosan Baby shampoo has a mild scent and is very gentle on our Bubu’s delicate skin. It is a clear, colorless liquid that froths easily so we do not need to use much to get scalp and hair clean.
Includes beneficial ingredients such as olive extract and lactoprotein
Conditions the scalp
Prevents dryness
Clinically approved
Colorant free
Sanosan baby shampoo does not contain surfactants that impair the natural protective function of the eye
It comes in an attractive powder blue container designed with slip-proof grips on the side making it easier to hang on to the bottle even with wet hands.
Sanosan gives the baby the best possible care. It uses olive oil and hydrolyzed milk protein which are natural ingredients that provide optimum care, cleansing, and protection that nourishes your baby’s skin better.
All Sanosan products are hypoallergenic and free from parabens and dyes. Pamper yourself and your little sweetheart with Sanosan on a regular basis and experience the daily delights of unique, natural, and gentle care.
65 years of premium skincare, for you and for baby.
Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi

Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi
For most of the day, our feet are trapped in shoes. For some of us, we spend most of our time on our feet. Our feet just go through so much punishment! Consequently, we find, later that our feet are covered in calluses and dry skin.
I am lucky enough that my feet are not in such bad shape but sometimes I would be surprised to find my heels snagging on my blanket and I realize that it is time for another foot spa.
Having a foot spa, when done often could turn out expensive so here is (what I think) is a better (more economical and more efficient) solution. And using it is easy, too! Watch this video below just to see how easy it is to use this product.
Veet Hair Removal Cream for Sensitive Skin
Veet Hair Removal Cream for Sensitive Skin
Most modern women (myself included) today worry about the unsightly hair growth in our armpits and other parts of the body (such as on the arms, legs, and face). Most either pluck or shave. One can be painful while the other causes the hair to grow back faster and thicker and tends to darken the skin.
The solutions we are often left with: laser treatment, threading, and waxing. These solutions are not cheap. So what solution is left? Depilatory creams or lotions like Veet.
I have used Veet in the past and it is so easy to use that it is often my go-to product when I don’t have time (or money) to go to the waxing salon.
Wash and clean the area you want to remove hair from.
Pat dry so that the area is no longer wet.
Squeeze some Veet on the spatula and smooth over the area you want to depilate.
Let it stay for 5 to 10 minutes.
Use the spatula to remove the product from your skin. You will see the hairs come off with the cream.
Use a soft sponge or washcloth to remove the cream if the spatula is too abrasive. I like to wet the sponge or cloth with warm water first.
If needed, you can leave the cream on longer before fully removing it. Do not exceed 6 minutes, as your skin will likely become irritated and produce a painful burning sensation.
The result? Soft, smooth, hairless skin. No-fuss, no mess, no worries! Try it for yourself! One tube goes a long way. Depending on how many areas you want to depilate, one tube of Veet can last for several months.
Works close to the root even on short hair
Preparation: 5-10 minutes
Enriched with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E
Duration: smoothness for up to a week
Softer hair regrowth
Body Area: Legs, Bikini Line, Underarms, Arms
FREE: Travel-size Veet Hair Removal Cream
Precious Products

With the traffic situation we deal with daily. we often go home more tired than we should be. Here are some products that I got that helped me in relaxing at the end of the day.
Precious VCO Goat’s Milk Soap (with oatmeal and tea tree oil)
Precious VCO Goat’s Milk Soap (with oatmeal and tea tree oil)
A lot of the (beauty) soaps sold today are made overseas. Precious VCO Goat’s Milk Soap is proudly Philippine-made.
I tried this soap immediately and I was surprised at how soft and smooth my skin was after one use. I don’t know if it was the VCO or the goat’s milk that did it but I loved the effect.
According to the product page, this is what this product offers:
Anti-aging
By protecting you from free radicals that can damage skin, Virgin Coconut Oil helps to slow the aging process. The oil forms a barrier of defense on your skin, allowing you to absorb necessary nutrients while blocking the chemicals that can cause wrinkles.

Precious Mango Tango Massage Oil
Precious Mango Tango Massage Oil and Precious Blue Ginger Aroma Fragrance Mist
My left shoulder to hand has been hurting like the dickens for days now. when this happens I usually just ignore it but occasionally I call on Ashley, my favorite therapist from Asian Massage to massage me instead.
They often use mineral oil when they give a massage but they usually ask for their clients’ preference also. Sometimes I use lotion but other times I provide my own oil. On her next visit (probably later tonight!) I will try the Precious Mango Tango Massage Oil. The mango scent is strong but not overpowering, which is good. I won’t smell like a fruit salad. D

The Precious Blue Ginger Aroma Frangrance Mist will give the room that spa smell that will help me relax even more. That’s one of the missing elements when I have a home service massage … the spa smell. :). The only thing missing would be a waterfall or chime music playing in the background.
It not only makes the air smell good it also acts as a deodorizer, eliminating bad smells in the air.

Precious All Natural Pain-Away Pad
If you have ever injured yourself or suffered from intense shoulder pain then you (like I) have used hot and cold compress pads. I’ve used versions that had the metal “coin” you flip inside to activate the gel to make it hot. I’ve used the versions you either microwave (for hot) or stick in the freezer (for cold). The one thing common about all these is that they were just that … a hot pad or a cold pad.
Precious came up with a revolutionary product called the Precious all Natural Pain-Away Pad.
Precious All Natural Pain-Away Pad
Unlike other hot and cold compresses, this one comes filled with special herbs combined to give you much-needed pain relief. Even as I opened the package I could smell the eucalyptus that must be part of the mixed herbs.
Hot and cold compress using your microwave or steamer at home
Made of all-natural herbal seed and aromatic herbs
100% natural aromatherapy herbal heat pillow
Moist heat therapy and dry cold therapy with aromatherapy
Best for joint pains and spasms
Helps remove stress
Hot herbal pillow help relax stiff muscles
Good for back pain and arthritis
How to use:
To heat it up you could either put it (the green package that smells really nice) in the microwave or steam it. Directions could be found in the package.
To freeze it, just place it in the freezer for a few hours.
After you have either heated or frozen it to your needs place it in the cloth bag that comes with the package.
Apply to the affected area (like your shoulder or neck) and just relax.
Easy, right? And best of all, it is available at Lazada at a very affordable price!

In our haste to come up with the best Christmas gift this season, we tend to forget that every person’s well-being will always be on top of the list, thus, a gift of wellness is something that will be well-received.
Around the globe, holidays means parties everywhere which also equates to frequent sleep deprivation not to mention increased alcohol intake for some and the bad effects of second hand smoke for others. All these factors contribute to lower immune system and this might not be a good match for the holidays.
Bewell-C has got your back covered as it contains all the vitamin C your body needs minus the acidity. Bewell-C is a non-acidic vitamin C supplement that boosts the immune system to fight against various health conditions.

Sodium ascorbate is effective in alleviating coughs and colds in children and can be given 3x a day as opposed to the acidity of a regular vitamin C.
Bewell-C is excellent for adults
Sodium Ascorbate promotes healthy cell development which helps active individuals in terms of sports related injuries as it plays a major role in collagen synthesis and help form bonds between strands of collagen fibers. It is also helpful for those recovering from surgery.

Sodium Ascorbate helps fight cancer as it produces a cytotoxic effect in malignant cell lines including melanoma cells, hence its anti-cancer property. Vitamin C in Sodium Ascorbate also help in lowering the risk of heart diseases and early death.

Win a trip to Japan for two by entering the FLYTOJAPAN promo of Mamypoko at Lazada Philippines.
As soon as I saw that I got excited. My sisters and I have dreamed of vacationing in Japan for the longest time and maybe this is our chance to do so. In the last couple of weeks I have done a lot of shopping … A LOT OF CHRISTMAS SHOPPING at Lazada and used every voucher code available that I was eligible for and now there’s this.
Our Bubu and my daughter, Erika
Since we do have a baby in the house, my grandchild Bubu, including Mamy Poko in my shopping list is no hardship. She is still young enough to need a diaper when we go out and when she goes to bed at night.
We’ve tried other brands but I, personally like buying the Mamypoko Extra Soft Diaper Pants For Girls in XL. It is easy to wear and no trouble to remove, especially now that she is at that stage that she prefers to use the potty over peeing in her pants. No stickies to worry about, just pull them up like pants and voila!
Let me add, also, that it is no trouble for ADULTS to remove. For, Bubu, though, it’s still too tricky. She’s already figured out how to open the adhesive sides of other diapers so pull ups or pants was the only solution left. 🙂
How to join:
Joining the promo is easy!
Buy any Mamy Poko product from http://www.lazada.com.ph/mamypoko-official-store.

Cheetos is a favorite snack for many people, my sister and her kids among others. Whenever I buy a bag of Cheetos I often get the Cheddar Jalapeño flavor ’cause I like that little bit of bite.
Taco Bell has been experimenting with mixing snacks into their menu for quite some time. Remember what they did with Doritos just a while back? For this “experiment” their think tank must’ve said … “what would happen if we combine a cheesy quesadilla with Cheetos?”
Cheetos + Quesadilla = Cheetos Quesadilla
For the first time in Taco Bell’s history, two of your much-loved favorites come together to make an irresistibly good and even cheesier pair!
Always with a flair for giving new and exciting treats to its customers, Taco Bell launched its latest offering Cheetos Quesadilla’ in an exclusive media event on November 23 at Taco Bell’s flagship branch in Gateway Mall at the Araneta Center in Quezon City. Bloggers and members of the press satisfied their hankering for cheese as they tried out this unique and exciting product exclusively available at #TacoBellPHL.
The Cheetos Quesadilla Combo
The new Cheetos Quesadilla, priced at P129 and P169 when ordered combo, is a combination of grilled soft tortilla filled with Taco Bell’s signature three-cheese blend and your favorite crunchy puffed cornmeal snack, Cheetos Crunchy Jalapeño. The launch of Cheetos Quesadilla is just the beginning of a slew of exciting promos that await Pinoy foodies this Christmas. Cheetos’ official mascot Chester Cheetah also made an appearance at the launch.
Speaking of promos, #CatchChesterCheetah as he visits Taco Bell stores this holiday season, snap a photo with him, and post it on lnstagram using the official hashtag #TacoBellPHL and #CatchChesterCheetah and you might just win an lnstax Mini. SMILE! 😀
Check out Taco Bell Philippines’ lnstagram @TacoBellPHL for more information.
Did you know that …
Cheetos are scientifically designed to be addictive.
Cheetos’ airy texture melts in such a way that it actually fools the synapses in the brain so that you don’t realize calories are being consumed!
Weight watchers beware! If you aren’t careful the pounds/kilos are going to start piling up and before you know it you will look like Cheetos. 😛 Everything in moderation, folks!
Taco Bell’s Cheetos Quesadilla is made with the addictive Cheetos Crunchy Jalapeño
Made with Taco Bell’s signature 3 cheese blend with a spicy kick of Cheetos Crunchy Jalapeño wrapped in a warm tortilla makes this an addictive treat. You can’t help but keep asking for more – trust us!
Cheetos Quesadilla is only available in Philippines!
Yes you heard it right. No other Taco Bell in the world has offered a Cheetos Quesadilla, only in the Philippines.
Taco Bell and Cheetos has always been good friends
Earlier this year, Taco Bell Canada released their own version of a Cheetos Crunchwrap.
The Cheetos Crunchwrap … available only in Canada
Satisfy your stubborn cheese craving and sink your teeth into Taco Bell’s all-new flavor with a crunchy kick, ‘Cheetos Quesadilla.’ For more updates, visit Taco Bell’s official website at www.tacobell.com.ph or follow on Facebook and lnstagram.
When I first heard about Helix-D I was skeptical. After all, there are so many products out there that promise the same. But as with the others, I am willing to give them a listen and find out what they have to say about their product.
I have never been overly concerned with skin care. In comparison with many of my peers I have been told that I look younger than my age. But as the years pass my skin is no longer as taught, pores start to expand, and fine lines start to appear on my forehead and around the eyes and I find myself actively looking for a solution that does not include surgery. Enter Helix-D.

Colgate-Palmolive Philippines celebrates 90 years of operations in the country, providing generations of Filipinos with quality brands for oral care, personal care and home care such as Colgate, Palmolive, Tender Care, Gard, Axion and Ajax.
The Palmolive Company Philippines was established in 1926 with an office in the Binondo district of Manila with just five employees. Products sold during those days included Pompeia cosmetics, Octagon laundry powder and Crystal White laundry bar.
It merged with Peet Brothers the following year and with Colgate Company in 1928. Popular products such as Colgate Ribbon dental cream and Cashmere Bouquet toiletries were added to the product range along with Palmolive soaps, pushing accelerated growth for the next few years. Products at that time were delivered to stores by carabao or horse-drawn carts.

In 1941, during World War II, invading soldiers sealed the office and looted the warehouse. Loyal employees were instructed by their imprisoned manager to preserve company records. Two employees managed to enter the office but couldn’t escape with the ledgers.
They ended up manually copying all entries, word for word, for over a week. With records intact, the company was able to collect all receivables from insurance after the war and resume business.
Soon after, Ajax powder cleanser was introduced to the market and, in 1949, the company was incorporated as Colgate-Palmolive Philippines, Inc.
While the company may have begun by importing products from the US, growing demand for its brands prompted it to inaugurate a manufacturing plant in Makati in 1951 and to establish a provincial warehouse in Cebu in 1959.
Marketing Highlights
Colgate-Palmolive Philippines was the first company to advertise in color in 1966 when local TV advertising switched from black-and-white to color.
The Palmolive Naturals soap “I can feel it” tagline from the 1987 TV commercial, which featured Alice Dixson and her iconic shoulder shrug choreography, was adopted globally in 1991 and eventually won a Pilak Award in 2002, representing the best Philippine ads of the last 50 years.
In 2007, Colgate’s nationwide Super Mega Brushing campaign earned it a Guinness World Record for most number of children brushing their teeth at the same time. A total of 41,000 students participated in Manila, Cebu and Davao.
The Palmolive Naturals “Bounce” music video, which featured three of the country’s biggest stars: Julia Barretto, Janella Salvador and Liza Soberano, was hailed as one of the top 10 performing ads on YouTube in 2015.
Community Engagement
One of the core values of the company is caring for the communities where it is present. The Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures program has been supporting oral health education across the country through free dental screenings and tooth-brushing drills, distribution of oral care kits, and integrating oral health education materials with Kinder and 1st Grade school curricula.
This is made possible by the company’s partnership with the Department of Education for nearly 2 decades.
Through its collaboration with the Philippine Association of Dental Colleges since 2001, the company has sponsored various symposia on dental health as well as provided more than 200 scholarship grants to dentistry students nationwide.
Colgate has also been an exclusive partner of the Philippine Dental Association’s annual Kabarangay sa Dental Health Program, raising oral health awareness all over the country through free dental check-ups and product sampling.
As part of its 90th year activities, Colgate-Palmolive collaborated with Puregold to support Operation Smile Philippines, an NGO focused on providing free surgeries to indigent children afflicted with cleft lips/palates; as well as Robinsons Supermarket to help raise funds for World Vision Philippines, an NGO that provides assistance to impoverished children.
Colgate continues to be the Oral Care brand most recommended by Dentists* and Palmolive remains to be the #1 Personal Care brand, in the Philippines**.

Let’s admit it, Filipinos LOVE to sing … and Christmas parties (or any old party, for that matter) are just not complete without someone rocking the mic … preferably everyone. 😀
Take a look at the Tuxun Mini Karaoke K068 Wireless Bluetooth Microphone and you will notice something immediately … it has an unusual shape for a mic. As a matter of fact, the first time I saw it I thought it was a flashlight! Turns out the wide base is actually the speaker.
Anyone with children will tell you that babies have very sensitive skin. This means that we cannot use just any old product on her.

Cheetos is a favorite snack for many people, my sister and her kids among others. Whenever I buy a bag of Cheetos I often get the Cheddar Jalapeño flavor ’cause I like that little bit of bite.
