Maymay Entrata
PBB Big Winner Season 7, ABS-CBN

Rejoice launches a campaign dubbed as #RejoiceGirlGwapaKaDai, which centers on celebrating the beauty of Visayan girls. The campaign is led by Maymay Entrata, a proud Bisaya herself and Pinoy Big Brother season 7 winner and now an ASAP mainstay of ABS-CBN. Maymay is joined by other local beauties as shampoo girls representing different regions in Visayas.
 
A big dreamer herself, Maymay recalled her journey as she once dreamt to become a Rejoice shampoo girl. “We look up talaga yung mga girls in the commercial for shampoo. Sila yung parang naging inspiration namin. So when you become a shampoo girl it means you are gwapa and sikat. Using Rejoice is one of the best decisions I made so far, I just need 1 product for smooth, healthy and super bango na hair.” This is because Rejoice has a triple action formula that serves as shampoo, conditioner and perfume.

Maymay is joined by new Rejoice shampoo girls from Visayas --- Cebu’s Pride Nicole Borromeo who won Ms. Millennial 2019 in Eat Bulaga, Tacloban’s queen Chelsea Fernandez who was crowned Reyna ng Aliwan 2018, and Iloilo’s beauty queen Kim Crizaldo who was a finalist in Miss Universe Philippines 2020.
 
The three beauties represent Central Visayas, Eastern Visayas and Western Visayas, respectively.

With a modelling career and her outdoorsy personality Borromeo shared that, Rejoice 3 in 1 makes her hair always runway-ready. “With just one wash I can enjoy the beach but less hair worry because of Rejoice 3 in 1, I have shampoo, conditioner and perfume all in one.”

“Basta Ilongga, gwapa” has been a popular mantra of the people fom Iloilo. That’s why for the former flight attendant Kim Crizaldo, to be a Rejoice shampoo girl magnifies the “gwapa” in her.
 
“I’m very happy and proud to represent the Ilonggas, just like Nicole I switched to Rejoice 3 in 1. Before when I was still a flight attendant, so with tight schedules of our flights I didn't had time to take care of my hair, but when I switched to Rejoice, I no longer need other hair products to take care of my hair, just with Rejoice 3 in 1 ma humot, humok kag healthy na ang hair ko. So, Rejoice 3 in 1 is a convenient way for me to achieve a beautiful, shiny and healthy hair” Crizaldo shared during the welcome video initiated by Maymay to welcome the 3 Visayan beauties to kick off the #RejoiceGirlGwapaKaDai campaign.

 

As a region that proves to be a beauty pageant powerhouse coming from the consecutive success of Miss Universe Philippines winners who came from Cebu and Iloilo, Rejoice acknowledges Visayas is a strategic setting for its newest campaign #RejoiceGirlGwapaKaDai. 

 

In the coming months Rejoice 3 in 1 will amplify its campaign further, with its theme  #RejoiceGirlGwapaKaDai, so you may visit Rejoice Philippines Facebook and Instagram page for more announcements and details.

Many hobbies start off cheap, but can get expensive as you start to take them more seriously. Common costs in the long run may include equipment, training or travel. Funding these expenses can be difficult, however you shouldn’t have to give up your hobby just because you can’t afford it. Below are just a few tips for affording an expensive hobby.

Set a budget for your hobby

It could be worth setting a budget for your hobby so that you don’t go too crazy. Make sure that basic living expenses are prioritised and then working out how much of your disposable income you’re able to pour into your hobby.

It could be worth starting some savings for your hobby each month for big expenses. For instance, if you want to take a ski trip abroad or want a better amp for your guitar, you can start saving up a little each month.

Hire, share and buy used equipment

When it comes to acquiring equipment, buying new equipment may not always be necessary. Consider whether you can hire or rent equipment - when getting into a sport, this is often an option. You may also be able to share equipment with fellow hobbyists  - if you’ve bought a classic car to restore, you may be able to borrow tools from a fellow car enthusiast rather than buying your own. 

Finally, there could be the option of buying used equipment - this may not be as high quality as new equipment but could be all you need in some cases (for instance, a used sewing machine could be all you need for basic sewing). 

Make the right investments

Occasionally, it may be worth paying a lot of money upfront in order to save you money in the long run. If you’re playing golf every weekend and hiring clubs each time - it could start to add up. Buying your own clubs could be a better investment. Similarly, there may be annual memberships or season tickets for events that are cheaper than paying for individual tickets every week or month. 

Develop a side hustle

To help fund your hobby, you could consider developing a side hustle. Any money earnt from this can be put towards your hobby. There are lots of part-time freelance jobs that you can take up to earn more money. You could become a freelance writer getting paid to write reviews or web copy. Alternatively, you could start trying to bid on loads to haul and make some extra money as a delivery driver. There could even be simpler ways to make extra money such as selling clutter or answering paid surveys.

Find a way to make money from your hobby

By finding a way to make money from your hobby, you could make your hobby pay for itself. This could include selling home-made crafts, becoming a diving instructor or playing live music to make money. You’ll likely have to have reached a certain level of competency to start making money and there may be other investment required to get there such as completing a course or buying extra equipment - work out whether these investments are worthwhile.

Until next time.

Cheerios!

It’s easy to get down. It might be about the way you look, or about your work life, or even your lovelife. Sometimes it goes even further beyond that into the realms of depression, but usually there are ways out. Sometimes, it’s just about learning to feel good about yourself. To see yourself as others see you. To not be so hard on yourself all of the time. It can be completely draining to live your life like this day in and day out, and it’ll sap you of your self esteem and your confidence which might of course in turn affect other areas of your life negatively potentially sending you into a downward spiral. It’s easier for some to see themselves in a better light than others.

Everyone is different at the end of the day so what might work for someone else may never work for you. This is why you need to try everything that you possibly can to ensure that you can feel good about yourself and that you get the right care you need. It’s a mental block, and mental health varies hugely from one to the other. These tips can help you get started on your journey to self betterment with the caveat that if you think there’s something seriously wrong with your mental health, the best thing you can do is tell someone and get some help.

Feel Good About Your Face

There are so many things you can do to just feel that little bit better. For a start, you need to realise that you don’t have to go out with a face full of makeup every day, but from time to time, especially if you don’t wear it often, putting on some lipstick or eye make up can leave you feeling that much better about yourself. Sometimes it’s not about the make up, but the skin. Too much makeup can make the skin bad and this can start the loop of wearing makeup to cover the skin. Try to get into a skin care routine. This means taking the plunge and not wearing makeup at all.

Night cream and day creams can help you. You can get different ones for different ages and for different things. These don’t have to be expensive either, you can get some really good deals out there. Once you’re in the right routine you’ll soon start feeling better about yourself. If you’re really in the need for some TLC think about going to a spa and getting that facial. This may be hard with Covid at the moment but getting your brows shaped, a wax and a face massage can really boost your self esteem and leave you feeling better about your face. It all starts with you taking the steps towards your own happiness and if you don’t feel good about it, there are things you can do.

Weight

Weight is a contentious topic out there at the moment. Some people find it harder to lose weight than others. Some think this is because people have a base weight, which means going beyond it is extremely hard. However, where there is a will there’s certainly a way and weight can be lost if one is so inclined. The benefits are huge. To your self perception, confidence and image of course, but also to your physical health and indeed your mental health. There are different approaches to take towards losing weight. Some might diet, others may exercise while for the most powerful results you might combine to two. It’s really hard to start off but when you get into a routine. It'll quite quickly become a bit easier for you.

You can start simple, by going out for a walk and graduate up to going for a run. Try and join a gym, or do something you might find a little more fun like cycling or playing team sports. You can also sign up to a step challenge, or maybe if you’re really serious about it get a personal trainer. Diet helps too. Whether you go for a fad diet or you try to stick under your calorie count. It’s hard to work out what’s best for you and even then you may not see results right away but simply taking the step in the right direction is enough.

Feel Good About Your Work Life

Feeling good about yourself stems from a lot of different places. One of which is certainly your work life. It's the thing which takes most of your time from day to day so it’s something which you need to be happy with. If you aren’t, it’ll infect everything else. You won’t be happy out of work because you’ll be thinking about life in work. This stems from quite a few different places. It might be that you don’t like your career, you might have a bad relationship with your team or you might just hate your boss.

The issue about where you work doesn’t matter. It could be in marketing, or a supermarket. Some people might love what you do, others will hate it. You need to address the issue. Don’t like a coworker? See if you can sit elsewhere. Hate your job? Apply yourself and try to either get a promotion or a new job. You might even want to look for a new career. Happy people are usually proactive. Don’t just wait for something to happen in hope, get out there and take what you want. Be active in your pursuits.

Cultivate Those Relationships

Everyone has those special people who make them feel better about themselves. They usually come in the form of best friends or long term acquaintances. Either way, it’s incredibly important that you cultivate these relationships. You need to put effort into them. Arrange the odd meeting from time to time, or just think about what new things you can do together. It has to be half and half. If they’re always chasing you trying to arrange nights out or things to do they’ll stop at some point. Don’t lose those key relationships because you’ll regret it years down the line. Of course as it goes two ways you need to realise when you’re getting nothing back.

If this is the case, stop trying yourself and put the effort into someone who reciprocates, not someone who simply takes non stop. These can be friendships or work relationships, the same applies to any and all, even to those in your own family. It’s been harder this year with Covid ravaging the world but at the same time most have found ways to stay in touch with those they care about. Think about Zoom calls, meeting outside for a walk or going for a quick coffee. The rules are ever changing, but that doesn’t mean you can’t keep in touch.

Self Improvement Helps A Lot

Self validation comes from knowing that you’ve done something great. This can be passing an exam, getting a new certificate or successfully launching a business. You’ll feel much better about yourself if you pass those exams because you’ll believe in yourself far more. So, study something that you enjoy. Or something that will increase your chances of having a productive career. You might be fond of languages and want to push for the studying of one, or you might want to start studying towards a degree or even a postgraduate degree.

It could be something less intense like looking for some cooking classes or learning paint. If you’re someone who responds well to self improvement then this can be a key to feeling far better about yourself. You don’t have to pay for this either. It can simply be buying a book so that you can teach yourself, or in the watching of youtube videos around the subject you enjoy. It will of course take some investment of time, but it’ll be worth it in the end when you feel proud of yourself and what you have achieved.

Attack Your Hobby

This centers around the ability to really make some time for yourself. Making time for yourself is incredibly important, more so it’s important that you fill that time with things you enjoy, so hobbies which make you smile and you like engaging with. Some of these might cross over with exercise like running or cycling, or it can include team sports with your friends hence you’re socializing. Or it can be something just for you. Like reading a book, or gaming for a while.
 
You need to make time for yourself and any hobbies that you have to properly get that disconnect from work and your wider life. If you feel like you don’t have a hobby then now is the time to find one. There are so many things out there that you can try and interact with, whether on your own or with friends. There are some great ideas online too, but essentially you just need to explore the areas you enjoy and go from there.


Until next time..

They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. But in reality, they're just sophisticated pieces of biological machinery that send visual signals to your brain for processing. In that sense, they're the primary mode in which we experience external reality and one of the body's most critical parts.

Looking after the eyes, however, is easier said than done. They're extremely sensitive to damage, and so even the slightest change in the environment (such as bright light) can cause problems.

Here we provide you with several tips for taking care of them. Take a look at the following:

Get Sufficient Sleep

Many neuroscientists view the eyes as a kind of extension of the brain. They're so full of nerve endings and deeply integrated that viewing them as a separate system is difficult, if not impossible.

It should come as no surprise, therefore, that getting enough sleep helps the eyes tremendously. It both stops them from getting strained during the day and also reduces the incidence of bags.

If you find it challenging getting sufficient sleep, there are all sorts of strategies you can try. Experiment with the following if you find yourself struggling to nod off:

• Wear a cooling gel pack on your eyes to relieve swelling and inflammation after a long day in the office
• Drink chamomile tea - an ancient herbal remedy designed to calm the mind and help people drift off into a deep slumber
• Turn off your email reminders and notifications several hours before you go to bed to help calm your mind
• Establish a rigid sleep schedule where you hit the sack at the same time every night, regardless of what is happening in your life
• Each cherries before you sleep to give your body a melatonin boost (the sleep hormone)

Get Your Eyes Checked Regularly

Whether you wear glasses or not, you should get your eyes checked regularly. Ideally, you want to discover problems as early as possible to help manage them better as you get older.

Also, remember that eye doctors can also detect other health problems via a comprehensive eye exam. For instance, they might be able to tell you whether you have diabetes or another condition that affects the back of the retina. 

Wear Sunglasses In Bright Weather

Did you know that the same UV light rays that damage your skin can also harm the thin, sensitive layer of cells that sit at the back of the eye? Well, it turns out that UV damage is one of the leading causes of sight loss worldwide.

Fortunately, you can prevent this by wearing sunglasses. Sites, such as https://www.eyeglasses.com, talk in detail about the different types of lenses and how they can help defend you against damage. You need to make sure that you only buy spectacles rated for UVA and UVB protection. Remember, just because the light entering your eyes is darker doesn't mean your glasses protect your eyes. Invisible UV light could still be getting through and causing damage. And once it does, there is practically nothing you can do to reverse it.

Add Soothing Cream To Tired Eyes

Long days staring at the computer, exposure to pollution, and lack of sleep can all take their toll. For instance, research shows that people who stare at screens for long stretches tend to blink less, which dries out their eyes.

Fortunately, there are cosmetic solutions. Adding soothing cream to tired eyes, for instance, can brighten them considerably, even if you feel tired on the inside.

You can also try taking a break from looking at your computer screen every twenty minutes or so. Simple acts like this give the eyes a chance to recover and re-moisturize.

Avoid Using Makeup That Irritates You

The type of makeup that you use plays a large role in how your eyes feel. Try to avoid using products that are past their "best before" date. Unfortunately, old makeup becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, some of which thrive in your eyes and cause conjunctivitis.

Also, be sure to use makeup remover regularly. Find a brand that doesn't sting or require much effort to remove pigment. You want something that works with every kind of makeup you might use, including the heavy, waterproof variety.

Keep Your Hands Clean

Finally, keeping your hands clean is a wonderful way to protect your eyes from damage and infection. You'll sometimes notice that rubbing them with dirty hands causes them sting. That happens because of the acid byproducts of bacteria on the hands. Washing them removes this residue, making touching your eyes more comfortable.


Until next time.

Hey ladies! I’m back with another interesting review! I have recently been confined in the hospital for the past couple of weeks and my skin really suffered and needed some TLC. It was just perfect that the Foreo UFO Device and the Foreo UFO Activated Masks arrived in time when I got back home.
If you have read my previous post, I did talk about getting rid of my blackheads since I literally have tons of them peaking through especially on my nose area. So, this time around, I wanted to get my natural, healthy glowing skin back.

If you guys, are not familiar with FOREO, it is a Swedish high-end beauty tech company, founded in 2013. That specializes in developing beauty devices. FOREO products include: LUNA facial brushes, ISSA sonic toothbrushes, IRIS eye massager, UFO smart mask treatment devices with UFO-activated face masks, ESPADA acne treatment device, SERUM and Silicone Cleaning Spray.

So, what makes the FOREO UFO Special?
It has 5 Key Features:
●    Time saver: Instead of the usual 20-minute mask routine, UFO does it all, only better, in just 90-seconds
●    Better absorption: instantly infuses serum into the deepest layers of skin, for superior results
●    Rejuvenating skin: It locks in moisture while reducing the appearance of pores
●    Pampering effect: Provides a soothing facial massage
●    Evenly distributes mask ingredients across every area of the face (unlike the conventional sheets masks which create air pockets that reduce benefits)

So, I started using the Foreo UFO device together with the Foreo UFO Activated Masks in Glow Addict on Mornings, and then I use the Call it a Night Activated Mask in the evening, before I sleep.
 

The Glow Addict Mask if part of their Advanced Collection. Its key ingredient is Pearl Extract for Enhanced Brightening. This is perfect for those who have dull skin. Which is exactly the reason why I chose this mask for my morning routine.

The Call It a Night Mask is part of the Daily Duo. This is what I have been using every night. Its key ingredients are Ginseng and Olive oil for Revitalizing and Nourishing the skin. This is one is targeted for fine lines and dryness.

Each box of Foreo UFO Activated Mask contains 6 packets. So, I have been using the Foreo UFO daily for 6 days straight just to see what it really does to my skin.

After my first time using the Foreo UFO, I wanted to use it again! The T-Sonic Pulsations together with the warm temperature coming from the device is very relaxing, it made me want to do the treatment longer. The Daily Duo treatments usually take 90 seconds. For other mask variants - it varies.

 

If used manually, you just need to register the device first. Day and night masks treatments are already set to use on the device without the app. And to save other preferred masks from other collections to device memory you need to scan the sachet once with the app and it is saved to be also accessed outside the app.  You choose saved masks treatment modes by pressing multiple times on the device (lights up on the LED circle based on where you saved it).

If used through the App, you just need to download the Foreo App from either Google Play or the App Store and then register your device. Once you have done that, you simply scan the Barcode from the UFO Activated Mask box or sachet and it will recognize the type of Mask you will use. The Foreo App will then automatically adjust the settings and type of treatment based on your scanned mask.

What’s really cool about the Foreo App is, you can customize your power mask routine. You can choose another LED light from the spectrum (depending on device generation) or different pulsation intensity, or heating/cooling or none of it. It is accessed through the “wheel” settings feature in the app.

What I like about the Foreo UFO…
-    Really fun and easy to use, I honestly think the Foreo App is awesome
-    It saves me so much time, since it takes less than 2 minutes to finish a treatment
-    I enjoy the cryotherapy and thermotherapy, it is the cooling and warming feeling of the metal slate
-    I also noticed the fast absorption of the masks onto my skin when compared to a regular sheet mask
-    I get to experience professional treatment at home for a fraction of the price
-    The UFO device itself is easy to store since it is not bulky at all, it easily fits the palm of my hands
-    Very easy to clean as well, since I just clean it over running water, then wipe it dry
-    I also noticed that a full 2-hour charge of the device will last several uses. Been using it for 3 weeks now and I still have not charged it again
-    Easily accessible and available online

What I don’t like…
-    It can be pricey considering the number of times I will need to repurchase the UFO Activated Masks if I do decide to use it regularly, on a daily basis

My rating: 5 out 5 

Where to Purchase?

Apart from their official website. You can buy these at SephorPH

Since I have used the Glow Addict UFO Mask, my skin has really improved. It looks naturally glowing and radiant. Also, I noticed the difference after the 5th day of use.

Overall, I am quite happy with the results of the UFO device together with the UFO Activated Masks. I really do think this revolutionary device is effective since it gave me the results I wanted, based on my masks of choice. I have yet to try the other variants, but I will surely share with you my thoughts about them on a separate post.
