But beyond that, Watsons offers so much more.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Watsons, a part of the A.S. Watsons Group, is the world's largest health and beauty retailer. Watsons launched in the Philippines in 2002, a time when the concept of having a wide selection of health, wellness, and personal care products under one roof was still new in the country.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>For pharmacists that care, Sa Watsons Ako</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbj5iuiK5He_jOSm8KIh1159A5G2WEtC-cppXAYmNBKkzGsOZkXfPnYWhlOh69J0wqwm-KDdzZfuiWJq4ytfs_avCNKPwmZ5-dO2YBITRXfW5Wcj8ZywPF2VbmFSxWOINPe-gDINkDv9huSWIHGD9CP45ANZTzkCu5SGVTtn7OmWDBTa0am5ED4u4H/s570/For%20Pharmacists%20That%20Care,%20Sa%20Watsons%20Ako.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbj5iuiK5He_jOSm8KIh1159A5G2WEtC-cppXAYmNBKkzGsOZkXfPnYWhlOh69J0wqwm-KDdzZfuiWJq4ytfs_avCNKPwmZ5-dO2YBITRXfW5Wcj8ZywPF2VbmFSxWOINPe-gDINkDv9huSWIHGD9CP45ANZTzkCu5SGVTtn7OmWDBTa0am5ED4u4H/s16000/For%20Pharmacists%20That%20Care,%20Sa%20Watsons%20Ako.png" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Watsons offers convenience with OTC and prescription medications and health and wellness services, including COVID-19 vaccinations via Resbakuna and blood glucose ang pressure checks. Watsons is also known for caring customer service with competent pharmacists who go the extra mile to address customer's questions and concerns. Watsons pharmacists talk to patients and customers one by one without rushing through them, pointing out, for example, the difference between branded and generic medications, as each branch is adequately staffed.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><a name='more'></a></span><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>For Express Delivery, Sa Watsons Ako</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Watsons investing in delivery services has given customers more convenience in refilling their health, wellness, and beauty needs.

For now, this option is available in Metro Manila and select areas in Cavite, Rizal, Laguna and Bulacan. This gives those who require maintenance medication utmost convenience without having to leave their homes.

This used to be applicable only for renewal of 10 year multiple entry B1/B2 visas, but they have expanded the coverage late last year to first time applicant minors below 14 years old and those above 79 years of age. The process this year has actually gotten simpler compared to when I first did it late last year. Hope this blog post helps you to do the application process yourself seamlessly.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ9liDxqBCORGWPAA6VcTz3BpJP5nXknyMGLSrlyxQE0IFbWT1keW4tN32_eapNloND-WUSfg3a6KUXVPyzdDfyNTocG-dTvqUf9ktwTPkwR_VWa-oem2o4JDIlkVHu4kQIkNDOHPkO1SQcOxeurzq5RxiECORkT3uo_ySIog0BjBx1QYjhgXASFDU/s570/usvisa10.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="343" data-original-width="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ9liDxqBCORGWPAA6VcTz3BpJP5nXknyMGLSrlyxQE0IFbWT1keW4tN32_eapNloND-WUSfg3a6KUXVPyzdDfyNTocG-dTvqUf9ktwTPkwR_VWa-oem2o4JDIlkVHu4kQIkNDOHPkO1SQcOxeurzq5RxiECORkT3uo_ySIog0BjBx1QYjhgXASFDU/s16000/usvisa10.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Please note that this process only applies to <b>first time applications and visa renewals of minors under 14 years of age whose either or both parents have a valid US B1/B2 (Business/Tourist) Visa</b>. As for my case, I am an unmarried solo parent and my kid (10 y/o) is under my sole custody (we have different surnames) and I was able to process my kid's application by submitting only my visa.</div><span></span><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">To summarize, here are the <b>qualifications</b> for availing of the interview waiver program for minors below 14 years of age:</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1. Minor must be below 14 years old at the time of the application</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. Minor must be present in the Philippines at the time of application</div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. Either or both parents must have a valid US B1/B2 visa</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Step by Step Guide:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">1. <b>Pay the necessary visa fees</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This step can actually go before or after accomplishing the DS-160 form. But I find it easier to pay for the visa fees first because it takes at least 24 hours for the payment to reflect. I opted to pay via RCBC over the counter which was more convenient for me. There's also an option to pay online via Pesonet.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For over the counter payment, generate and print a US visa fee deposit slip (best fits 8.5x13 sized paper) which you can obtain from the <a href="https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/ph-niv-paymentinfo.asp" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">payment information page</a>. As of writing, the visa payment costs <b>$160 or Php 8640</b>. Aside from the deposit slip and payment, they also ask for the birthday and contact number of the applicant so make sure to have those ready.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPkQ5Vj9xGLuiCkd0QPaVLhB-Vylu_E16jvYX5YUxAHMXFFl-FYLYOCNUgYxx2OL-V_qG7FkD43t_DP7_YYSa9QfM9_T-bglZtHbz-2nmFy65dUYciHU9shixTNf5SJN2FoS05wc1umHqqQJNaibJuBCOMtQHojdKhA8WTyfr4uam-npk5_ZugJvmq/s829/usvisa2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="829" data-original-width="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPkQ5Vj9xGLuiCkd0QPaVLhB-Vylu_E16jvYX5YUxAHMXFFl-FYLYOCNUgYxx2OL-V_qG7FkD43t_DP7_YYSa9QfM9_T-bglZtHbz-2nmFy65dUYciHU9shixTNf5SJN2FoS05wc1umHqqQJNaibJuBCOMtQHojdKhA8WTyfr4uam-npk5_ZugJvmq/s16000/usvisa2.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Be sure to secure the customer copy of the deposit slip or at least take note of your receipt number as they only validate the same and no longer issue a separate deposit slip.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. <b>Accomplish the DS-160 Form (Non-immigrant Visa Electronic Application Form)</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is probably the most tedious part of the process. To start an application, go to the <a href="https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">DS 160 application page</a> and choose Manila, Philippines as the location. Be sure to take note of your application number because I got timed out multiple times even if I was actively answering the online form. This will enable you to retrieve your application so you won't have to start a new one every time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDi2HYB5PmiDAr-bTi0EPRWQT-LYjqNDEWtINzFp3G8IJ3hRJYOBz116THfeY5f6XK-djQvxydSALkyLYbINj_hLeaGiZMtVgGQYa5V3Piq3IEhqPJlyDo8aZJnA7MnoYPbc7aEt_Z0Z9BqgJsVsj_vmBaOkk2admJMEhNKli-YNoGC0rwLfHXqfb1/s570/usvisa1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="537" data-original-width="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDi2HYB5PmiDAr-bTi0EPRWQT-LYjqNDEWtINzFp3G8IJ3hRJYOBz116THfeY5f6XK-djQvxydSALkyLYbINj_hLeaGiZMtVgGQYa5V3Piq3IEhqPJlyDo8aZJnA7MnoYPbc7aEt_Z0Z9BqgJsVsj_vmBaOkk2admJMEhNKli-YNoGC0rwLfHXqfb1/s16000/usvisa1.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Also, it helps if you prepare your answers beforehand so that you'll be able to accomplish it faster without the session timing out. Questions include Personal Details, Travel Document (Passport) Information, Travel Information (esp. if you already have an intended travel date), US Contact Information, Family Information, and Security and Background Information. For my kid's application, I used my own mobile number and email address since my kid doesn't have one yet. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You'll need a digital copy of your 2x2 photo for this part. For the photo, I suggest having it done at a studio for ease. They'll be able to send you a digital copy as well which you can use for the DS 160 application. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj67WWqdhvFnkA5j2oJry_CDKkFg2oSPlryPMUnErI8udEmF3MuL5S2o76PXyleRVksghrX1lfEPwY0HeIKF-DTv8HOHDCTyNY3VWs_FTaliiKzDeAC5_-7UCmhUO7vNIwqR7bAm7ieNPvfFUvDK9nfqpbbpvVlZnhVEP8bBu31JBVj9bIsksed_pqE/s570/usvisa8.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj67WWqdhvFnkA5j2oJry_CDKkFg2oSPlryPMUnErI8udEmF3MuL5S2o76PXyleRVksghrX1lfEPwY0HeIKF-DTv8HOHDCTyNY3VWs_FTaliiKzDeAC5_-7UCmhUO7vNIwqR7bAm7ieNPvfFUvDK9nfqpbbpvVlZnhVEP8bBu31JBVj9bIsksed_pqE/s16000/usvisa8.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">After signing the form, you'll be referred to the DS-160 confirmation page. Be sure to print a copy as it is one of the requirements for submission to the embassy. Lastly, I encourage you to save a PDF copy or a printed copy of your application. It will help you a lot in renewing your kids' visas in the future. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. <b>Make an account at the Apply for a US Visa Website</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">To generate an interview waiver confirmation letter, you need to create an account at the <a href="https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/SiteRegister?country=Philippines&language=en_US" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Apply for a US Visa Website</a>.

Last year, we were able to submit our visa renewals via 2GO SM Fairview branch since it was the nearest one to us. However, when I submitted an application this year, I learned that only select branches accept US visa applications. If you are from northern QC (i.e. Fairview), you may opt to go to their Don A. Roces Ave branch (located at 68 Don A. Roces Ave., QC) because they open before mall hours. Otherwise, you may also visit SM Cubao and Robinsons Magnolia in Quezon City. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjczSr6W5tBKyIc4GPtyviFMzyo0AYRDvYdcPRHGty8rVBUtQpLFwfv2IDB9ymUXE_ct61dSgEqScHmxkIWz6DLG6DIusTXHpfi9L9PfVxGNav2PHyzabLYFU-jo5FD3W2dRTANjy3-rT0_PDfQTd2i8Khiqo1LHEUrJ27sWR4oMrac9_6JSdczElem/s760/usvisa9.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="760" data-original-width="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjczSr6W5tBKyIc4GPtyviFMzyo0AYRDvYdcPRHGty8rVBUtQpLFwfv2IDB9ymUXE_ct61dSgEqScHmxkIWz6DLG6DIusTXHpfi9L9PfVxGNav2PHyzabLYFU-jo5FD3W2dRTANjy3-rT0_PDfQTd2i8Khiqo1LHEUrJ27sWR4oMrac9_6JSdczElem/s16000/usvisa9.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Drop offs last year via 2GO used to be free of charge.

Our renewal only took less than a week from the time we submitted our visas via 2GO until we received them via mail. For my kid's application, it took more than a month before it was issued so I got worried when my kid's passport wasn't mailed in a week.

The damage the sun does to skin, which is known as photoaging, can result in wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots and melasma and overall early aging. It’s not just the skin that can be affected by sun damage. Excessive sun exposure can dry your hair and even burn your scalp.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">To avoid the harmful effects of the sun, always wear sunscreen when going out and protective clothing if you know you’re going to be exposed for long periods of time. Avoid sun exposure during the middle of the day, from about 10am to 3pm because this is when sunburn-causing ultraviolet rays are at their strongest. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLM3YQPoO1H9GRcDInx2r272QVaVBEhet9yyyJOO6nQcECO_66e6RPLenwkOupk0A4HIZLv-Wdz2PnBV-_QU1pDZgYJ3cX53spEeXylYLKzGL5MV2sajNK7oMGqY6N7e-ZlNkKdDcqapvSIJkazdhDw07LmBKNoPG0q87iFA-lzp7Ztr0UNJXiyzeI/s1511/Rosy%20Peel%20Plus%20(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="850" data-original-width="1511" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLM3YQPoO1H9GRcDInx2r272QVaVBEhet9yyyJOO6nQcECO_66e6RPLenwkOupk0A4HIZLv-Wdz2PnBV-_QU1pDZgYJ3cX53spEeXylYLKzGL5MV2sajNK7oMGqY6N7e-ZlNkKdDcqapvSIJkazdhDw07LmBKNoPG0q87iFA-lzp7Ztr0UNJXiyzeI/w640-h360/Rosy%20Peel%20Plus%20(2).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Boost your summer protection with Rosy Peel Plus so your skin and hair stay healthy in any weather. Rosy Peel Plus is an FDA-approved herbal beauty supplement that combines the power of collagen, which is the most abundant protein in the human body. Collagen makes up 75 percent of skin’s support structure. It helps keep skin soft, supple and young-looking. However, collagen production declines with age and exposure to factors such as smoking and UV light. Taking Rosy Peel Plus will help give your skin strength and elasticity.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Rosy Peel Plus has natural ingredients such as strawberry extract to give your skin the love it deserves. Strawberry extract has anti-aging properties and is rich in vitamin C, collagen and folic acid. Rosy Peel Plus also contains guava extract, which helps reduce wrinkles and dark spots and also has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Meanwhile, kamias provides relief from swelling and also brightens skin while the berry-like bignay is rich in antioxidants so it helps fight aggressors such as pollution that can further damage skin.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Rosy Peel Plus provides skin clarity and UV protection. It also keeps hair hydrated and even helps it grow faster.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The benefits of taking Rosy Peel Plus go beyond aesthetics. It also protects your body and helps it heal from illnesses and even cuts and wounds, thanks to its vitamin C content.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Rosy Peel Plus is available at leading drugstores such as Mercury Drug and online channels such as Lazada, Shopee, Zalora and Zilingo. You can also get Rosy Peel Plus from Grab Mart and MetroMart for same-day delivery.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For more information on how you can be sun smart and #RosyForYourself with Rosy Peel Plus, follow @rosypeelplus on Instagram, and follow and like /RosyPeelPlus on Facebook.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">XO, Mish</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>

The frames are not that entirely smooth but it didn't affect the quality of the product. The corner plates and screws are very easy to assemble provided that the frame sections are placed correctly. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTn7IR5VZf8yPGBFxKzOo9rynB0u88wK3hzHeMLvPSH9Ntfq_3-z365_VsT0Z14F3gnbOWnvQEz3RscTnr2k1u30qfJB4-zPXFMjSinWfdBNyeHvmTT9dP6h5AHoqSEnhci3oiRM2Wyv4/s570/IMG_9222+%25281%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTn7IR5VZf8yPGBFxKzOo9rynB0u88wK3hzHeMLvPSH9Ntfq_3-z365_VsT0Z14F3gnbOWnvQEz3RscTnr2k1u30qfJB4-zPXFMjSinWfdBNyeHvmTT9dP6h5AHoqSEnhci3oiRM2Wyv4/s16000/IMG_9222+%25281%2529.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">What the package looks like</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzjZcyuDB94JfGmok9X9_PS_TveA24xx_e86cAxwP8Ou57r6DykCGDuJ6iG4yfwMIM-OTKBnQb99iVF7bvZH7foQlE1EAXKij4LjSVSXm8BG5u3PiEUyKaSCqhqUYBecIFsEwe1_frxEE/s570/IMG_9223.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzjZcyuDB94JfGmok9X9_PS_TveA24xx_e86cAxwP8Ou57r6DykCGDuJ6iG4yfwMIM-OTKBnQb99iVF7bvZH7foQlE1EAXKij4LjSVSXm8BG5u3PiEUyKaSCqhqUYBecIFsEwe1_frxEE/s16000/IMG_9223.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Contents of the package</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8eadlA4QeSWMfyAZ0qeVkP46sHWd3BC4P8F3waONCnM6u-yFXpQncJEVQr72542k6zp7H3mj7IQKGNcHvjL5UELRh4byL-6bmkfhVKoxA4geo4vPpZiB_dCfqITVYw9q8ZNGKINaPI2Q/s570/IMG_9225.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8eadlA4QeSWMfyAZ0qeVkP46sHWd3BC4P8F3waONCnM6u-yFXpQncJEVQr72542k6zp7H3mj7IQKGNcHvjL5UELRh4byL-6bmkfhVKoxA4geo4vPpZiB_dCfqITVYw9q8ZNGKINaPI2Q/s16000/IMG_9225.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Wood used was not entirely smooth but didn't have a problem when it comes to functionality</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhTQezhVkFLCTkEeKDqg2WDoaHzHmyq136IXkyTWk_EW7qnHxgbF4ZKGfpVAWtIkeCL46EwU5mesdnXx-X9zwGt1uX5rdeiTUSFda0xRE-NjYwoFd-Psok2hdkyqrnvBEpgxUdu3wGuHs/s570/IMG_9266.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhTQezhVkFLCTkEeKDqg2WDoaHzHmyq136IXkyTWk_EW7qnHxgbF4ZKGfpVAWtIkeCL46EwU5mesdnXx-X9zwGt1uX5rdeiTUSFda0xRE-NjYwoFd-Psok2hdkyqrnvBEpgxUdu3wGuHs/s16000/IMG_9266.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Back of the assembled canvas print</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I chose a 70 cm x 50 cm print (prices start at $64) since most of my furniture are 100 cm long.

On the other hand, when mounting an artwork on the wall it should also be placed no more than 6 inches to 8 inches above the furniture and no more than 57 inches to 60 inches from the floor. I haven't found a permanent place for my canvas print yet since I am planning on placing floating shelves on the wall to accommodate more prints.

No more hanging out with friends at coffee shops for a while, no watching movies in cinemas and certainly no traveling for a while. Our travels will be confined for a while to our phone gallery via old pictures. Things are slowly going back to normal as far as work and school are concerned but with restrictions and new practices. As you adjust to a new way of life, Watsons is here by your side. Read on for some tips and recommendations on how we can all stay strong, stay beautiful during these times.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipaDbH0glu2V-NKOH9lCIqFhCuslp_NqZp9SBLMtqAUVhNT5HgealnBxKDF_0aIuyiC17Gbwzjz8nPbKt36wZ8OrjOzd78Cs9dFrokWlybIMdGv0siojTt8F4psHYUZt1PQ7tU5v-Q5l0/s570/Watsons+SSSB+KV.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="570" data-original-width="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipaDbH0glu2V-NKOH9lCIqFhCuslp_NqZp9SBLMtqAUVhNT5HgealnBxKDF_0aIuyiC17Gbwzjz8nPbKt36wZ8OrjOzd78Cs9dFrokWlybIMdGv0siojTt8F4psHYUZt1PQ7tU5v-Q5l0/d/Watsons+SSSB+KV.jpg" /></a></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><u><b>Stay Protected</b></u> – A year ago, if someone had told us that we'd be wearing a mask every time we went out, we would have laughed. But it has happened. This is one of the precautions we are taking in our new normal. We supplement our diet with vitamins from Enervon, Stresstabs and Watsons Generics. We keep our skin clean and fresh with products Safeguard and Dove and take care of our oral health with products from Listerine, Oral-B and Himalaya. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><u><b>Stay Prepared</b></u> – Buying things online efficiently is important because it lessens the physical traffic in stores. I am glad that Watsons has a website that allows us to shop from our homes. We can also call the nearest Watsons branch and have what we need delivered to our homes. Always in our medicine cabinet are Strepsils, Sinecod Forte, Vicks, Solmux and Biogesic for common illnesses like colds, cough and fever.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieSyU0t4r-Sgx9JhQAfjJmTLXSKnKfTja5G6PcFi8KAbVqGbi2Zh6jy8ahdVeGaB-gRRHZHwcInuuvLmUSTbbLaC_8JGHCK1r0ZBU5kE1CVtZe3zutVEm2Gsn512ugsohjFqMKoXKTpHs/s570/Stay+Prepared+with+over-the-counter+medicines+from+Watsons.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="441" data-original-width="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieSyU0t4r-Sgx9JhQAfjJmTLXSKnKfTja5G6PcFi8KAbVqGbi2Zh6jy8ahdVeGaB-gRRHZHwcInuuvLmUSTbbLaC_8JGHCK1r0ZBU5kE1CVtZe3zutVEm2Gsn512ugsohjFqMKoXKTpHs/d/Stay+Prepared+with+over-the-counter+medicines+from+Watsons.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>Stay Glowing</u></b> – Self-care is very important in these times because it helps boost our mood and improve our emotional wellbeing. Self-care can come in the form of a new hobby such as crafting and baking or self improvement efforts such as doing yoga or exercising at home. Skincare is part of self-care. Products from Belo, Ponds, Celeteque, Neutrogena and Dermaction Plus by Watsons help keep skin looking healthy and glowing.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><u><b>Stay Gorgeous</b></u> – Salons and barber shops are two things we always took for granted in our old normal. Now that we can't go to salons and have a haircut and color with treatment, DIY is the way to go. A trim and hair color done at home will do wonders for your self-esteem. You can use boxed kits from L’Oreal Excellence, Beautylabo or Naturtint to color your hair. Maintain the health of your hair with products from brands like Pantene and Naturals by Watsons.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXd-KyC-TcrtrikyIY4TYG6W4gNlP_9V9BoTF4r6wlCEuVes70EIyyHKFa3V7QjSmzQqngVBp01EL7VAGSOmu36t-HV591knXhKx8_WD-B1fDXTu9F2sOMItFJWsMbVfqFsWeE6l48hEw/s570/Stay+Glowing+and+Gorgeous+even+while+Staying+at+Home+with+Watsons.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXd-KyC-TcrtrikyIY4TYG6W4gNlP_9V9BoTF4r6wlCEuVes70EIyyHKFa3V7QjSmzQqngVBp01EL7VAGSOmu36t-HV591knXhKx8_WD-B1fDXTu9F2sOMItFJWsMbVfqFsWeE6l48hEw/d/Stay+Glowing+and+Gorgeous+even+while+Staying+at+Home+with+Watsons.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>Stay Dapper</u></b> – Self-care is for everyone and that includes men.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Family and good health are the two most important things to us right now. Our lives have been shaken up by this pandemic and now, we are focusing on wellness by treating our bodies better. As we now turn our attention toward making good health a new way of life, you can count on Watsons to be with you every step of the way. Here are a few recommendations from Watsons on what you can do at home to help keep your immunity strong and your family healthy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Be active</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Physical activity of at least 30 minutes a day has immediate and long-term health benefits. Exercising helps us get fit, improves our mood and even helps boost the health of our internal organs. Being active also helps strengthen our immune system. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Eat right </u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A good diet is important in helping strengthen your family’s immunity. There are plenty of antioxidants-boosting foods that you can incorporate easily into your daily recipes, from healthy vegetables such as carrots and broccoli to flavorful aromatics like onions, garlic and ginger. You can also end your meals with a warm cup of comfort courtesy of <b><i>Nutrabliss by Watsons Tea</i></b>. Tea is also an antioxidant so it's good for you.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Get quality sleep</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Did you know that getting a good night's sleep helps increase our body's defense against sickness? Now that we have more time in our hands, we can sometimes easily sacrifice rest for activities such as binge-watching or staying up scrolling through our gadgets until way past midnight. To help avoid this, make sure to set a proper time for sleeping. Manage the household’s schedule and make room for most of your activities in the morning, so the family can sleep soundly come nighttime.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Take vitamins regularly</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A complete balanced diet is important for our body for it to get all the vitamins and minerals that it needs to function everyday and defend it against illnesses. Vitamins serve as a bridge so that your body gets the nutrients that it needs. Vitamin C, for instance, is believed to increase the production of white blood cells, which are important in fighting infections. Pro tip: Stock up on your supply with <b><i>Watsons Generics Ascorbic Acid</i></b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Vitamin C isn’t the only vitamin that can keep you healthy. <b><i>Enervon Activ Soft Gel</i></b> helps boost immunity and promotes healthy hair and skin. <b><i>Myra E 400IU</i></b>, on the other hand, is also rich with Vitamin E to help fight cell damage. For the kids, let’s help support their growth not just in height but in strength with <b><i>Growee Syrup</i></b> or <b><i>Cherifer PGM with Zinc</i></b> capsules. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

When food parks became a hit a few years back, Rooftop Food Park used to be the first multi-level food park which opened in Fairview, Quezon City. When the trend later on died down, the owners of this place decided to convert their food park into a resto bar which is now called the <b>Rooftop Bar</b>.</div>

True to its name, this place is located in a roof top of a building which used to be a market and parking area. Aside from their resto bar area which caters to 500 people on a normal basis (and around 1000 individuals during weekends and events), they also currently offer KTV rooms for private events and functions. </div>

The resto bar is as unpretentious as you can get. There are basic stools and tables where you could spend the night drinking (and eating) with your friends. They have bands playing every Fridays, Saturdays, and Sunday starting at 8 in the evening. Otherwise, there's music playing from their stereo (which can be a bit loud for others). </div>

Rooftop Bar implements a no cash policy when purchasing from the bar. You may transact using a RFID card which you can purchase for only P50 and can be refunded upon exit and surrender of the card (similar with Z Hostel Rooftop Bar's RFID bracelet). You may load any amount in this card and it's good as cash when purchasing drinks and food from Rooftop Bar. </div>

Food and drinks at Rooftop Bar are surprisingly affordable. I was told that they specifically adjusted their prices to cater to their returning customers which are usually college students and young professionals. </div>

This Pork Sisig is probably one of the most affordable sisigs I have encountered in the recent years. I was told that this one is their chef's own recipe. It has a good crunch to it and has a decent mixture of fat and meat. It's a tad oily but it's perfect to be paired with any of their beers and mixers.</div>

This probably is my favorite sizzler among those we tried at Rooftop Bar. It is a bit spicy but savory. The squid was cooked just right and not chewy. The veggies on the other hand are crunchy and flavorful. Definitely another dish that's perfect with drinks.</div>

I am not generally a fan of Bangus Sisig but this one has a really nice texture to it. It's not dry compared to other bangus sisigs that I have tried. I guess it's because it's because it has a generous amount of oil and it has mayo added to it. The mixture of the bangus, onions, and peppers gives off a sweet and spicy flavor to it. </div>

This loaded meal is ideally good for 5 to 6 persons, but I think it could feed more. It has grilled liempo, grilled chicken pecho or breasts, grilled pork barbecue sticks, fried binukadkad na tilapia, pansit, ensaladang talong, and tinapa rice. My faves are the grilled liempo and the ensaladang talong. The liempo, barbecue, and chicken pecho all have the same sweet flavor that I like but I like the liempo the most because it has a good amount of fat which prevents it from drying up when grilled. The ensaladang talong was such a refreshing dish to taste after all the meat we have tried. The tinapa rice was also good that I cannot stop eating it even when ash fall from Taal Volcano eruption have started to invade QC and our meal (good thing they have covered areas). By the way, they also offer boodle sets good for 3 to 4 pax and 7 to 8 pax.</div>

We didn't leave the Rooftop Bar without trying out their bestselling drinks. The first one was the Vodka Berries which is a sweet mixed berries drink with vodka. We also tried the Jamaican which has citrus-y orange and lemon flavors with rhum. I liked the former more. These drinks look harmless but they're quite packed. Be sure to drink responsibly. :)</div>

Fried chicken in itself is addictive. But if you add flavor to it, the added flavor makes it more addicting. These dishes would remind you of flavored fries but this is way yummier cause of the crispy chicken skin. I am not sure if this is suitable with rice as a meal, but it would definitely make a great snack by itself!</div>

When I saw this dish came out of the kitchen, I was surprised on how generous the servings were. Based on experience, chicken wings are usually served very few. Anyway, I love how they used fresh ingredients on this one. The garlic and parmesan combo was just right.</div>

The Bagnet Sisig was probably the best dish I had at Chickapig. It's the same old fatty bagnet but made into a yummy sisig dish. You can taste the crispy pork skin and the tender meat and fat all at once. It was a tad spicy but the spice definitely made it even more delicious.</div>

I frequent Poblacion when I was still in law school. I find it a nice place to take a breather in. When I visit from time to time, I get surprised at how this neighborhood has become home to new yet booming restaurants and bars. One place I got to visit recently was <b>Concepto</b> along Manalac St. As its name suggest, it houses three different concepts - dining, retail, and party. We focused mainly on what we do best and, that is, eating.</div>

Concepto opened its doors to the public only on September 2018. I love how the entire restaurant used to be a house. I find it relatively small but I think it's a nice and intimate hangout place for friends and family. They usually have themes (for songs to play or what to serve) every day, but they maintain Sunday as a day for families to indulge in their hearty menu. </div>

Concepto is primarily known for its steaks and sauces. Their 'From the Chiller' menu is something to look forward to. They have prime beef cuts such as US Rib Eye Prime and US T-Bone Choice, among others, that would make your mouth water. You can personally shop your preferred cut from their ref and have it cooked the way you want it. Of course, these are best paired with their selection of sides and sauces. </div>

The Steamed Fish dish was comprised of steamed lapu-lapu, mashed potatoes, a serving of garden vegetables, and calamansi caramel. Personally, I loved the vegetables the most in this dish. It was crunchy and fresh. I wasn't too crazy about the mashed potatoes. But the fish, vegetables, and the calamansi caramel together tasted great. It has various textures and flavor that went well together. </div>

This Lechon Belly Pritchon dish was to die for! The lechon belly was crispy, especially the skin, and the serving was definitely generous. I wish we were served with more tortilla so we could make more wraps. I like an all meat wrap but I think the vegetables would give the dish more crunch and a little bit of sweetness. There were three sauces available, but I loved the hoisin sauce the best.</div>

I love how flavorful Concepto's liempo is. I was quite intimidated though by how huge the cuts were. The fries were yummy too. They remained crispy even if we took a while to take photos before eating the dishes. By the way, prices of pork and beef cuts, just like this serving of liempo, varies depending on the weight. </div>

If there is any dish that surprised me that night, it was definitely the Steak Caldereta. I am not really a fan of caldereta but this one really had me going for a second (or third) serving. Sukiyaki cut US sirloin is served with homemade caldereta sauce, and topped with melted cheddar cheese. I love how it is deconstructed because the vegetables remained crunchy. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth soft and the sauce was creamy. Extra rice, please?</div>

Nothing reminds me of home better than this generous serving of Balbacua. Not that we cook this at home, but dish is so hearty and homey that it gives you that feels. Actually, this is the first dish that we cleared and I wasn't surprised. This dish comprised of beef cheeks, feet, ox tail, and brisket which were slow cooked for six hours making the meat extremely tender. I find it kind of spicy but definitely tolerable. It's best eaten upon serving.</div>

What started out as a weekend getaway for a group of surfers became a home for travelers who wanted a quick escape from the city. <b>Homebase Surf Camp</b> (formerly known as Homebreak Hostel) is the brainchild of seven surfers who are based and working in Manila and wanted a place to stay at during their surfing weekends. One year ago, they rented out a lot and made improvements on it - from pitching tents on an empty lot to filling the spaces with one nipa hut at a time.</div>

Surfing is the main language being spoken at Homebase Surf Camp. All of the owners are legit surfers and it is their passion for the sport that brought this humble home together. However, this place also welcomes anyone who wants a chill and relaxed vibe whether a surfer or not.</div>

Just three hours away from Manila, Liw-liwa is the perfect place to visit for quick weekend getaways. Hours in this peaceful surf town could go slow and it is best to spend those by catching waves or by just chilling by the beach with an ice cold beer. Be sure to get a glimpse of the sunset too cause those from this side of the country are the most beautiful.</div>

I love how accessible the beach is from Homebase Surf Camp. You get to enjoy it after a three minute walk from the hostel. If you want to learn the basics of surfing, you may avail of surfing lessons courtesy of Homebase's resident surfer, Ping. Otherwise, you may avail of their board rentals if you are confident in going out on your own.</div>

Accommodations at Homebase Hostel are simple and unpretentious. They offer the most affordable place to stay at in Liw-liwa, especially if you are traveling solo. They currently have a room with four bunk beds (for P350 each bed or P1500 for the entire room good for 5pax), ten hammocks (for P250 pesos per night), and an upper gazebo (for P2500 good for 8pax). They also have tents for rent (for P250 per head) or you may pitch your own (for P150 per head).</div>

Other amenities include a common area which turns into an open mic area every Saturday night. There are also two common bathrooms for guests to use. Don't expect too much when it comes to their restrooms. They're super basic. There's a shower, toilet, faucet, and the typical pail and "tabo" setup in each. You would have to bring your own towel and toiletries. They have continuous water supply but no hot showers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
As for drinking water, they have free purified water. Just bring your own container. Their kitchen is also open for use for only P50 per day. Be sure to clean after yourself because there's no one to do that for you at Homebase.</div>

Whenever I have to stay in a hostel, I usually have low expectations when it comes to comfort. More often than not, sleeping areas are coed, beds are tiny, and there's not much privacy. We stayed at the upper gazebo area and I found my stay to be pretty comfortable. I have no problems sleeping at an open area so I was able to sleep right away. I am not sure how I would survive the hammocks though. We were also provided with fresh sheets and pillow cases upon arriving. Most importantly, there was a mosquito net for each bed. I suggest you still use insect repellent just to be sure. Sockets are limited and quite far from the bed, but it wasn't much of a problem for me.</div>

What sets Homebase Surf Camp apart from other places in Sitio Liw-liwa is that they have an open mic session every Saturday night. Two of their partners, Castel and Obie, who happen to sing and play the guitar beautifully, usually begin the session. Open mic nights are best enjoyed by taking part in the fun and sharing your music with everyone, regardless of how musically inclined you are (or not). You may enjoy the music with some ice cold beer offered by the check in area. Otherwise, you may have some of the barbeque and isaw being sold at the entrance of the hostel. </div>

This experience will continue to amaze me on me how people's collective love for a passion, that is surfing, could turn out into something inclusive and open for everyone who wants to take part in it. To experience a chill weekend getaway on a budget, visit Homebase Surf Camp at Sitio Liw-liwa, San Felipe, Zambales.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The holiday season is fast approaching and everyone's up for tons of gatherings and parties in the coming days. But in the midst of merrymaking, discomfort, days of waiting and, sometimes, tears are only some of the things constipated people would have to go through on a daily basis.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You know that expression, “It looks like you’re constipated,” referring to your facial expression? That means you have a pained look; an expression that conveys you’ve been suffering.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The suffering is real. There is no pleasure derived from constipation. A person is supposed to poop every day or at least regularly, not twice a week. Moving your bowels should give you a feeling of relief, not pain and more suffering.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-hrZOYr6G6WiJ5saitwq-rG5Fg5vKGkYMhp8Ju5L70v2M5fL_PLplUQ4wxJHBIdU3yX9Vk3Wmpsn5Bsk-R4TEUirxKDI3A_0_QGVevskWXShk7IYXq6rI-waFCZGOuejRtzAMmE22lEk/s1600/Dulcolax+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="266" data-original-width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-hrZOYr6G6WiJ5saitwq-rG5Fg5vKGkYMhp8Ju5L70v2M5fL_PLplUQ4wxJHBIdU3yX9Vk3Wmpsn5Bsk-R4TEUirxKDI3A_0_QGVevskWXShk7IYXq6rI-waFCZGOuejRtzAMmE22lEk/s1600/Dulcolax+1.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So how do you know you’re constipated? Here are some common signs:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><i>You poop less than three times a week . </i>While it is not true that you should move your bowels every day in order to be in the non-constipated category , less than three times a week is too much. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><i>Your poop is painful, dry and dark. </i>According to the Bristol Stool Chart , if your stool is hard to pass, lumpy and shaped like nuts, you are constipated. You are doing okay if your stool looks like a sausage, has cracks on the surface and is soft and smooth. It is not true that your stools need to be very soft. In fact, having very soft stools that are bordering on being almost liquid is a sign that there is a problem.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><i>You’re always gassy. </i>Yes, it can be embarrassing to always be farting, especially when you’re in a public place or, heaven forbid, while out on a date! But being flatulent can be a sign of constipation. Yes, farting isn’t necessarily a sign that you’re on the verge of pooping. Having stored feces makes it difficult for a constipation to pass gas normally and this can result in flatulence . </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><i>Bleeding.</i> If you see blood in your stool, you may be constipated. Having bloody stools can be caused by anal fissures resulting from hard bowel movement . But it can also mean there is bleeding somewhere in your digestive tract. It is best to have it checked by a doctor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><i>You need a laxative to poop.</i> Laxatives stimulate the lining of the intestine to haste the stool's journey through the colon. They also help increase stool's hydration .</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s not true that taking laxatives is an unhealthy habit. There is no evidence that use of stimulant laxatives leads to serious health problems .</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

Ever since I had my hair colored ash brown, I've been on the look out for hair products that would help me maintain the color. While there are tons of products that are especially made for colored hair, I had a hard time looking for one that is affordable, yet effective. During my search for "the one", I was actually able to try out several hair products that worked well for me so I alternate them and one of them is <b>Koconae</b>.<br />

Hailing from Thailand, Koconae takes pride in their premium virgin coconut oil products that are proven safe and mild for everyday use. They currently offer tons of products that are made up of coconut oil such as facial care, hair care, skin care, and even products for children. For basic hair care, they offer the Coconut Oil Shampoo and Coconut Oil Conditioner.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am personally a fan of the Coconut Oil Shampoo. It has a sweet vanilla smell that I really love. The consistency is quite thin compared to commercial shampoos, but I guess it is because of the natural ingredients incorporated in it. I love how it does not dry up my hair and how it keeps it moisturized. I only did not maintain this as my regular shampoo because it contains sulfate and I am trying to avoid sulfate products so that the ash in my hair would not fade easily. Aside from that fact, there's nothing that holds me back from making this product a mainstay in my hair care routine.<br />

What it claims: <i>Ultra-rich coconut oil conditioner made from organic virgin coconut oil and protein from coconut cream which add moisture, eliminate frizz and soften the hair. Our coconut oil conditioner has that faint coconut scent that you will love!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Coconut Oil Conditioner worked quite well for me. I have super long hair so I had to use more than a dollop of the product to cover my entire hair. I noticed that it smells of coconuts. I do hope it has the same scent as the Coconut Oil Shampoo so that it has a consistent scent especially if you are using both of the products every time. I find that it doesn't moisturize my hair really well since my hair is dry and damaged already, so I use a different product as treatment for my hair every now and then. But if you have normal and healthy hair, this product would work perfectly for you.<br />

When <b>Kiehl's</b> invited me for a product launch, I wasn't sure what to expect. I knew it would be extravagant for sure, but I was still totally mind blown when I got there.

The greatest revelation for me that night happened during my skincare consultation with Kiehl's customer representative. All this time I thought I had oily skin because I've been breaking out lately. After the skin patch test, I found out that I have normal to dry and dehydrated skin. What I love most about the skincare consultation is that they would recommend which products you could use based on your skincare type and ultimate skincare goals.</div>

Whatever the genre, whatever the era, good music will contain the seeds of universal truths. While most songs are understandably about romantic love, it still is notable that there are few songs about the love that can be found in the family. Ben X Ben are especially qualified to be part of a song about family because they are literally related as well as a family that was formed by love for music. And song writer and guitarist Paolo Benjamin Guico shares, “Sam (Concepcion) became part of our band!” So bonded are Ben and Ben that for their interview, they refused to begin until all nine members were present and ready to begin. The band was started by twins Paolo Miguel Guico and Miguel Benjamin Guico, hence their band name; and has now grown to include Poch Barretto on lead guitar, Jam Villanueva on drums, Agnes Resona on bass, Patricia Lasaten on keyboards, Ton Muñoz on percussion, and backing vocals and Kiefer Cabugao on vocals. For all of them to bond so strongly and effortlessly with Sam Concepcion, not just on the songwriting but on the performing and recording as well, is proof positive that music can truly unite people. “We just connected as a family, sakto lang talaga” Sam insists.</div>

“Talking about the family can be so cheesy, too cheesy! And sometimes, the emotions can also be too close to home,” admits Paolo. “Maybe it’s just easier to talk about love in general, than to say that its about a family,” Sam supposes when asked about the rarity of songs that delve into the dynamics of a family. Very early on in the process, they all honed in on that aspect of going back to your roots. “Just go back, go back , that was very clear. To what family is and what a beautiful story that can be,” Sam reveals. It was a good parallel to their process. “Yes, it could have been difficult, we’re all very different people but what made us gel is that we all felt the same about the family.” The Ben and Ben family all admit that while their songs might be smooth and easy to listen to, there are some deep and potentially heartbreaking aspects to their lyrics as well. “We’re nine so that’s nine different experiences from nine different families, so we find what can cross the all that,” Agnes observes. But even with all that, Paolo says it was easy to find their groove. “It really just happened.” Miguel then adds, “Even if we had to build the song slowly, everyone just understood the feeling we wanted.” Paolo then says, “And once we started jamming , there was just that magic of playing together.” </div>

My favorite Liese Creamy Bubble Color shade would definitely be Rose Tea Brown - a choice from their Warm Brown series. I have probably consumed 6 to 8 boxes of it in the past two years. I actually discovered Liese in BeautyMNL. At first I was hesitant to buy it because I've never tried bubble hair color before and there weren't much review of the product online. But when I started using it, it instantly became my go-to DIY hair coloring product.<br />

I love how that this product is easy to use! I would usually need help when DIY-ing my hair color since it's hard to apply other hair color product evenly at the back of the hair. But with Liese, I can easily apply the bubble foam on my own hair, especially at the back of my hair, and it would still turn out even.</div>

<br />
<b>The Good:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I love this shade! It is a lovely warm brown shade with a hint of pink. Sometimes though, I feel like my hair looks more red than pink.</li>
<li>This product is actually better than most DIY hair color products I have tried. Most hair color products do not produce the color that's on the box, but this one is quite true to the color it promises.</li>
<li>My hair color looks quite even. I didn't have to make sure that each strand gets covered because the formula is easily absorbed by the hair.</li>
<li>The product was just enough for my long hair. If you have super long hair though, you might have to use two boxes.</li>
<li>Super easy to use. It's easier to use than most DIY hair color products.</li>
<li>Fun to use as well! You could design your hair while waiting for the product to develop.</li>
<li>No stains on the skin.</li>
<li>My hair felt soft even after rinsing the bubble color. It is the only hair product that I have used that didn't dry up my hair so much.</li>
<li>The rinse off treatment made my hair extremely soft.</li>
<li>It is relatively affordable. Each box costs only P419 at Beautymnl and P449 at Watsons.</li>
<li>Easily available at Watsons, other department stores, and online (online shops or Beautymnl).</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<b>The Not-so-good:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The color fades after a few weeks and turns really brassy. My hair turned really orange-y.</li>
<li>My hair became dry after quite some time, even with regular conditioning. So I guess it's best to use a separate treatment to minimize damage.</li>
<li>The scent while applying can be quite disturbing and sometimes I feel like the product goes into my eyes. Be sure to have your hair colored in a well ventilated area.</li>
<li>It's not made for gray hair coverage. Since it's specially made to lighten Asian hair, it won't darken and cover gray hair. I think they have a separate line just for that.</li>
</ul>

For a DIY hair color and for its price, Liese Creamy Bubble Color in Rose Tea Brown works quite decent. It has a shade that makes my hair stand out. If there's a need to urgently color my hair, I would without a doubt grab a box of my usual Rose Tea Brown. That's how much I love this product.</div>

Ever since I discovered Liese, it has been my go-to product when it comes to DIY hair coloring. I find it convenient and easy to use, plus it's available in BeautyMNL so I can just purchase online (especially since I barely have the time to go to the mall to buy). Liese used to be sold by online shops only, but I think they started to be available at Watsons since around two years ago.</div>

Liese offers numerous shades but this time I'll be doing a review of the Milk Tea Brown shade. As far as I know, it's the lightest shade in their Natural Brown series. It's not really my favorite shade, but I wanna share how my hair turned out after using the product.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Creamy bubble color for a rich and long lasting color. Easy to apply. No drip bubble formula.</div>

I suggest you read the instructions very carefully. Since this is not your typical DIY hair color treatment, preparing the product consists of a different method. With Liese, you just have to pour in the smaller solution bottle into the bigger solution bottle. Tilt it several times until both mix. Do not shake the bottle! After mixing it, replace the bottle cap with the foamer cap. Just squeeze the bottle to expel the bubble foam and then apply it to dry hair.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are retouching the roots, I suggest you start with the roots so that the product would stay longer there. Otherwise, start at least one inch away from the scalp to the ends and leave it for at least 20 minutes. After such, put product to the roots and leave it for another 20 minutes. The instructions suggest that you leave the product in your hair for 20 to 30 minutes only. I personally leave it on for at least 1 hour to make sure that the product is absorbed well and for the color to develop well.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Good:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>It lightened my resilient black roots effectively.</li>
<li>This product is actually better than most DIY hair color products I have tried. Most hair color products do not produce the color that's on the box, but this one is quite true to the color it promises.</li>
<li>My hair color looks relatively even. I had a different hair color prior to using this product and it still looks decent.</li>
<li>The product was just enough for my long hair. If you have super long hair though, you might have to use two boxes.</li>
<li>Easy to use. Just follow the instructions and you're good to go.</li>
<li>Fun to use as well! You could design your hair while waiting for the product to develop.</li>
<li>No stains on the skin.</li>
<li>My hair felt soft even after rinsing the bubble color. It is the only hair product that I have used that didn't dry up my hair so much.</li>
<li>The rinse off treatment made my hair extremely soft.</li>
<li>It is relatively affordable. Each box costs only P419 at Beautymnl and P449 at Watsons.</li>
<li>Easily available at Watsons, SM Department Store, and online (online shops or Beautymnl).</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Not-so-good:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>The color fades after a few weeks and turns really brassy. I have orange/blonde-orange hair after some time.</li>
<li>It's the first time I used a different shade (aside from Rose Tea Brown) and I was shocked as to how light my hair turned out. This can be a good or a bad thing depending on how light you want your hair color to be.</li>
<li>My hair becomes dry after quite some time, even with regular conditioning. So I guess it's best to use a separate treatment to minimize damage.</li>
<li>The scent while applying can be quite disturbing and sometimes I feel like the product goes into my eyes. Be sure to have your hair colored in a well ventilated area.</li>
<li>Not for gray hair coverage</li>
</ul>

I've always wanted to have legit ash hair, not exactly gray or silver hair but that light brown hair with an ash shade. I find it just so hard to achieve that, first, because black hair that's been bleached tends to have orange or yellow undertones that makes it look brassy and second, because you can only get ash hair when done professionally.</div>

When I was invited to Retro Salon in Fairview a few weeks back, I was only expecting to take a peek at the salon for a feature. Little did I know that I would get my dream hair color that exact day. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am no pro when it comes to deciding on what shade would perfectly suit me so I was thankful that their senior stylist, Ms. Rose, had something solid in mind. I would actually settle with ash brown hair but she thinks it would look better it I get highlights. My only request was that I hope the latter would be subtle.</div>

The first part of the entire process was <i>foil highlighting</i>. They manually (and tediously) separated small portions of hair and placed developer on it. They wrapped it in aluminum foil to make sure that it won't affect the rest of my hair because it would surely make the hair much lighter. It was set for 15 minutes before heading to the second step. </div>

While waiting for the highlights to become as light as the intended it to be, they applied ash hair dye to the rest of my hair. This makes the whole process a lot faster since it's like hitting two birds with one stone (highlights and hair color at the same time) . They didn't added hair color to my roots yet though because this part tends to lighten the fastest. They used <i>Loreal Majirel</i> for my hair color. I have super long hair so it was quite a work to apply the products on my hair. At this point, there were three of them that needs to work on my hair. They have quite a number of stylists and staff so when such situation happens, they have the ample number of people to work on their clients even on a busy day.</div>

After 20 minutes, they applied the rest of the hair color at my roots. I suggest you allot ample time if you want to have highlights and treatment made because it's gonna take a while. While waiting, you may make use of their magazines or just engage in a conversation with your stylist. They're super friendly! </div>

When the alarm went off, I was taken to the shampoo area to have everything rinsed. I have to be honest but I was quite shocked when I saw the bleached strands of hair that was supposed to be my highlights. I thought that was the end of it. But after they rinsed my hair, they applied gray hair color to my hair to give the highlights that ash tone. </div>

Although not really part of the hair coloring process, I had my hair treated. I know it's an additional expense but if you want to keep on coloring and dyeing your hair, this is a good investment. Coloring puts so much toll on the hair that it becomes brittle and dry. With treatments, you can repair your hair to keep it healthy and shiny.</div>

After another batch of rinsing, I had my hair dried and curled. When I saw my newly colored hair (even before I had my temporary waves), I was so in love! I wasn't sure how ash would look on me or how highlights would look on me, but both turned out awesome. Ms. Rose definitely know what she's doing here. I've been getting lots of compliments on my hair.</div>

When I got my curls thereafter, I wished they were permanent! The highlights stand out well with wavy hair. I like it also when I put my hair up and the highlights would peek on the sides. It's quite eye catching, but in a good way. By the way, my hair didn't dry up after the process. My hair remained straight and soft. I just use purple/non-sulfate shampoo and conditioner to maintain the ash shade.</div>

Price at Retro Salon varies depending on hair length. Prices start at P1550 and up for permanent Loreal hair color and P1050 and up for foil highlighting. If you have extremely long hair (like me) or thick hair, expect the price to be a tad different from the above mentioned figures. You can have your hair assessed before undergoing any procedure. And the figures that they will state during assessment is the final price so you won't get surprised after.</div>

Kapitolyo never fails to surprise everyone with unique food experiences that would surely make people satisfied. Every place I have visited there has given me nothing but a loaded belly and an awesome time. Anyway, the last place I've been to started out as a small barbecue place along East Capitol Drive. Now, it has turned into a legit barbecue place offering smoked meats, among others.</div>

The<b> Pitmaster's Smokehouse Bbq</b> has been open to public since 2016. They're quite far from the rest of the restaurants in Kapitolyo but they're definitely a must visit. When it comes to their interiors, they have quite a spacious dining area. The tables and chairs didn't feel cramped or crowded at all. They also have outdoor seating area if you prefer such. At night, they usually have an artist entertaining the crowd. I feel like it's the perfect hangout place after work.</div>

The first dish that came out of the kitchen was nothing short of spectacular. Crispy oysters are smothered in garlic, mayonnaise, and aromat for that explosive flavor and texture.

I had to order rice after this dish came out of the kitchen. There's no way you can have sisig without rice! The pulled pork had a good mix of pork meat and fat. It also has bacon so there's a sweet flavor you get to taste every now and then. It was sinfully good. I found it kind of drenched in oil but isn't that how we want our sisig?</div>

The Sizzling Burger Steak was a combination of sweet and savory flavors. The burger steak was of decent serving size. It was meaty good! The egg on top was cooked nicely although I'd love the yolk to be a little bit more runny. The sauce and bacon slices gave it a hint of sweet flavor. I also love how they added shiitake mushrooms to it cause it added a new taste to the dish.</div>

One of the underrated dishes that night was the Bacon and Mushroom Pizza (simply because everyone went gaga over the meats.) Anyway, this homemade pizza likewise has a sweet flavor to it and I think it's mainly because of their homemade bacon. I think this is something that kids will love. If you prefer something different from smoked meats, they likewise have tons of other dishes such as pizzas, sandwiches, soups, and salads.</div>

The highlight of the night was the Pit Platter. It is composed of the five smoked meats that Pitmaster's Smokehouse Bbq offers - the Pitmaster's Smoked Ribs, the Black Angus Brisket, the Smoked Bacon Strips, the Smoked Coriander Chicken, and the Pit Smoked Sausage. I personally love the beef brisket. This 15 hour smoked black angus beef brisket was extremely tender and tasty. It literally melts in your mouth. The seven hour smoked ribs were likewise fall-off-the-bone tender and very flavorful. The homemade seven day cured and smoked bacon strips were yummy but I think I was looking for that crisp. I wasn't a fan of the chicken also simply because it was kind of dry for my preference, but it has a really nice flavor. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The Pit Platter also includes four regular sides of your choice and a carafe of iced tea. I personally prefer the corn cob (which you can have grated) and the garlic buttered french beans. They also have premium sides such as four cheese mac and cheese, truffle pasta, elote Mexican corn, among others, that would surely go well with your Pit Platter. </div>

Pitmaster's Smokehouse Bbq takes pride in their sauces. They currently have three variants which differs in sweetness and heat level. Apple is supposed to be the spiciest among the three. It wasn't as spicy as I expected and it has a runny texture. It actually has a sweet flavor. Hazelnut has a thicker texture and a tad sweeter than Apple. I think I prefer the East Capitol the most because it has a nice balance of heat and sweetness. </div>

The Beer Paddle is a nice pair to Pitmaster's menu and good live music. We got a beer paddle which consists of four flavored beers - Brown Sugar Cinnamon, Salted Caramel, Hazelnut, and Banana. I was able to taste everything and I oddly found banana to be the best one. I thought I would like the Salted Caramel the best but it leaves a bitter aftertaste whereas the banana tastes smooth and sweet all throughout. </div>

If you've been living in the Fairview QC area, you would definitely be familiar with the latest salon that I'll be featuring. I get to pass by it everyday back when I was still commuting to school but I haven't had the chance to actually visit it until I had my makeup done there for my Oathtaking and Signing of the Roll this year. Anyway, I was invited a few days back to try out their services (which I'll be reviewing in another blog post).</div>

When it comes to their interiors, I found it spacious and well-lighted. The decors and seats were simple and practical but it has a homey feel to it - something you'd go back to over and over again. During my recent visit (which was on a Tuesday afternoon), the place only had several clients having their nails done and their hair cut done. But when I had my make up done (I think it was on a Friday morning), the place was packed and busy. From what I have noticed and based on how the stylists and staff would know them by their first names, people that visit there are mostly long time customers. </div>

If there is anything that Retro Salon has maintained, it is the staff that they previously had, such as their stylists and personnel, whom have already gained their clientele from all those years of service. I think this factor helps maintain the quality of the services that they offer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I think that most of the improvement about their services takes place in their equipment and tools. They only offer quality hair products such as Loreal and Schawarzkopf for treatment and color. Whereas they only offer premier makeup such as MAC for their hair and makeup services. Of course, prices have increased a bit but I think it is all worth it.</div>

Recently, they launched two new services - the Loreal Steam Bond and the Brazilian Keratin Blow-Dry. The <i>Brazilian Keratin Blow-Dry</i> aims to repair, moisturize, protect, and infuse dull hair with keratin and vitamins to achieve that smooth, healthy, and well-conditioned shiny hair. If you opt to achieve that straight and shiny hair of your dreams, the <i>Loreal Steam Bond</i> uses the world's first steam smoothing system, which delivers a continuous and high pressure steam that permanently straightens the hair without any hair breakage and damage to hair.</div>

One of the latest events I have been to was quite peculiar. I've been to tons of food events in the past already but it was my first time attending a food & beer pairing event. With much excitement, I braved the Friday night traffic to get to Mentore Coffee + Bar by UCC in SM Aura, BGC for a fun and appetizing night with them and Baird Beer.</div>

<b>Baird Beer</b> is a brand of craft beers manufactured in a brewery based in Japan. They take pride in pairing balance and complexity to come up with a character for each brew. Each bottle of beer is made in small batches and with the highest standards to achieve the best quality. They have 12 year round staple brews, but only 6 have been initially brought to the country. They are currently being imported and distributed exclusively by <b>Booze Online Inc. </b>here in the Philippines. </div>

In Japan, they have several taprooms where you can pair your craft beer with suitable and specialty cuisine. Since we don't have those here, it is just fitting to pair Baird's craft beers with staple dishes from UCC Mentore Coffee + Bar, one of the oldest Japanese coffee shops that have ventured not only in specialty coffee but also in great food. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Sausage Platter was the perfect appetizer. The sausages are seasoned well with salt and pepper and cut into bite size pieces. There are options of ketchup, mustard, and barbecue sauce as dips but I liked the barbecue sauce the most since it adds depth to the savory flavor. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <b>Nomazu Lager </b>was one of the brews that I really liked. It has a soft floral aroma and amber gold color. It has a roundly malty flavor and offers a snappy finish. It wasn't as bland as other lagers. It's mild flavor went well with the savory sausage platter. It definitely set the standards high.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My favorite pairing would definitely the Cheese and Spinach Dips with the Wheat King Wit. The Cheese and Spinach Dips by UCC Mentore was creamy. The baked spinach was surprisingly easy to eat. The bechamel sauce and cheese was heavenly! When the crostinis were gone, I decided to eat the dip on its own. It was that good!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Baird <b>Wheat King Wit </b>beer on the other hand was a perfect match because of its light, fruity, and quenching taste. This is actually my personal favorite. The fruity flavor is brought about by the warm fermentation of house Belgian Witbier yeast. I swear this beer reminds me of pineapples upon tasting. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The prettiest dish that hit our tables that night (aside from the dessert ;)) was the Seafood Scampi. It was the lightest pasta dish that I have ever had. It has a garlicky butter flavor with a tangy aftertaste. I love how fresh this dish is as it incorporates various seafood such as shrimp and scallops. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To pair this dish with, we were served with <b>Rising Sun Pale Ale</b>. Among the several brews that we had, this one has the most crisp and refreshing flavor. I think this was a hit that night. It has a balanced flavor and aroma that captured everyone.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am not a fan of sandwiches but this Grilled Reuben was surprisingly good. I don't mind having this for breakfast everyday. The corned beef slab inside was tender and delicious. The sandwich wasn't dry at all because of the sauerkraut and dressing and the mixed cheese gave it a boost of flavor. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The most unique craft beer that was served to us (and probably known to me) is the <b>Wabi Sabi Japanese Pale Ale</b>. Not only it is a hybrid of the Pale Ale and Indian Pale Ale, it also incorporates local Japanese flavors such as wasabi and green tea. Thus, it has a herbal yet bold taste.</div>

Just when I thought I couldn't stuff in more food in my mouth, this Ribeye Salpicao comes out of the kitchen. This dish has the most tender beef and the gravy is to die for. The serving is just appropriate for one meal. And on top of the other dishes that we had, I was pretty much in a food coma after this. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <b>Teikoku IPA</b> was probably the strongest among the ones we tasted that night both when it comes to flavor and alcohol content. It was just the perfect match for the equally flavorful Ribeye Salpicao dish. I am not a fan of beer that has a rich and bold taste but this one has a flavor that makes it appealing.</div>

A classic dessert was served us but it was nothing short of common. With UCC's specialty coffee brew, the Affogato was the perfect way to end the six course meal. This double vanilla scoop ice cream dish is paired with chocolate, pistachio nuts, and espresso shot. This dessert would have been awesome with Baird <b>Shimaguni Stout </b>beer but we weren't able to try some. The good thing though is that it is now currently available at Booze Online Inc. </div>

Vacations with Zack can be quite a hassle particularly when it comes to looking for safe and healthy food and drinks for him. We have to make sure that he has clean drinking water all the time and the food that we would get for him are clean and safe. Sometimes when his tummy gets upset (especially when he unintentionally gets to drink pool water, among other factors), I trust <b>Erceflora</b> vials to make his condition better.<br />

It's such a stress when Zack gets sick with painful tummy problems. He loses his appetite and he's very irritable. He also loses weight in a short span of time. A stomachache isn’t only uncomfortable; it alters the child’s mood and his or her attitude for the day. And since kids tend to have a higher risk of getting digestive health-related diseases such as diarrhea and constipation from harmful bacteria, we have to deal with this every now and then. </div>

To address that problem, probiotics offers a solution. These are live microorganisms that help maintain the balance of good and bad bacteria in the digestive tract. It works like this: A human digestive tract has about 100 trillion healthy bacteria. Bacteria aid in digestion and help the body defend itself against illness. Thus, probiotics can aid with immunity and help protect you from common colds and flu.<br />

Every person, child or adult, needs a balance of good bacteria in the body. However, this balance is easily upset by a number of factors such as a poor diet, stress or by taking antibiotics and other medication. Children can get probiotics from eating yogurt and beverages that contain probiotics. However, the amount and quality of probiotics in those food and beverages may not be enough.</div>
