It took me quite sometime before I was finally able to enlist for the free sample of Olay Whitening Moisture with Pearl Extracts at EverydayMe. I was so happy that was able to get the “Your Package is on it’s way” confirmation on my second attempt. 🙂
I signed up last August 3 and was able to receive the package on Sunday morning, August 23. It took almost two weeks before it was delivered. No problem though because according to the site, delivery would take 2-3 weeks within Metro Manila.
I immediately used the Olay Whitening Moisture with Pearl Extract Body Wash on the same day. I am not really fond of using bosy wash as I am used to the ordinary bar soap whenever I take bath. But since Olay has been known as one of the top brands, I am quite confident that it will be a good try.
First thing I noticed upon using it is the smooth effect on my skin. I didn’t even bother to put lotion after taking a shower using this body wash because my skin is already smooth and supple already. Truth to be told, my skin condition improved after just one use. 🙂
On the 4th day of use. I was surprised to see that my armpit had whiten. Yes, I wasn’t really expecting this of all my body parts! Haha! I was giddy and can’t wait to share my excitement and headed to their site and posted my review. Below is the screenshot of my review.
My underarm now has lighten, smooth and “chicken skin” free. Hehe This will definitely be an add up on my bath essentials.
You can also get to try out on newly release products of Procter and Gamble Philippines by signing up to their website at EverydayMePhilippines. You may also interact and get to see and read interesting articles on skin care, parenting, food, house and home and many more. You get to meet a lot of friends too! It’s for free! 🙂

Having the Radon system for your home is essential as a key tool against inflicting any health issues, especially catching respiratory diseases such as lung cancer as the worst case. According to an article from EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency),
Radon is a cancer-causing radioactive gas. It comes from the natural decay of uranium that is found in nearly all soils. It typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through the following; cracks in solid floors, construction joints, cracks in walls, gaps in suspended floors water supply.
As you can see, we are mostly not aware of the danger and threat to our home and our family’s health is at risk as we are exposed to such very danger and harmful chemical without us fully knowing it.
So it is a must to check and fix your home and let it have it undergo a Radon Test to let you know if your home is under high risk and would give you the essential knowledge as to how you can deal with the situation and address the problem if ever.
It is also highly recommended that you invest and let your house go on a radon system once it was taken positive from the test. Never settle from those cheap systems as it will just create problems for you in the long run and would even cause you a lot of trouble health wise and financial too. You need to let professionals take care of the said system as they are of knowledge and capable of doing the right thing for the said process and never let anybody claiming that they can do it for a cheap rate do the procedure and create chaos after. Check out and do your own research too for your confidence on where to get professional services for radon system.
Have you been completely on edge lately? Are you feeling stressed out by your job, the kids, relationships? It might be time to take a break from taking care of everything else, and put yourself first. What better way to decompress and de-stress than to take advantage of some luxury spa treatments? Check out these 5 luxury spa treatments which will leave you feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.
The Ultimate Classic: A Relaxing Massage
Cost-conscious massage franchise centers like Massage Envy are finally making massage an affordable luxury for more consumers. Massage also has the advantage of often being recommended by doctors to supplement whatever medical recommendations they make for a whole host of issues, including arthritis and prenatal care. You can also use local social deal sites like Gilt City or Groupon to find awesome deals on more luxe spa places.
Do Something New: Check Out Korean Spa Treatments
Don’t be afraid: you will most likely not end up like Conan O’Brian and Steven Yeun at their Korean spa visit. You do, however, have to get naked. In most Korean spas, you will have options of several rooms to visit – whether you want to relax in the various steam rooms, or saunas, or even indulge in some yummy Korean food meant to heal you between each room. Bring a Korean friend who can speak the language, and you’ll be set to come out refreshed.
Indulge In A Mini-Treat: Get a Facial
If you are not feeling up to getting the full treatment, get a mini-treat with a facial. Clear your pores, and enjoy the clean, refreshing feeling of getting a facial mask or scrub. Whether you choose to wrap your face in clay or opt for a peel, you will barely recognize the face staring back at you in the mirror when you’re done.
Reduce Stress With Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy is simply the process of using water to relieve and soothe pain and stress. While some spas offer hydrotherapy in the form of hot tubs, we are fans of spas that incorporate thermal or springs, where you can experience the benefits of hydrotherapy from a natural source. This is a true luxury, one that you’ll want to schedule a few vacation days for, as few places in the US have access to their own natural springs. One of the best-known places in the US is Glenwood Hot Springs, which has been providing a natural form of relaxation for over a hundred years.
Refresh The Whole Body With A Whole Body Wrap
There are an astonishing number of ways you can luxuriate in a full body wrap. Choose from algae or seaweed wraps, the classic mud, or use herbal body wraps to help release toxins, increase circulation, and in some cases, reduce the appearance of cellulite and dimples. Who could ask for more?
Most people don’t make time to take care of themselves and indulge. Coming back from a relaxing spa treatment will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to conquer the world. So why not start today?
Nothing beats spending some time outdoors when the weather is gorgeous, but if you have kids it can be difficult to find an activity that suits everyone. Younger children will not be able to do as much as older kids and teenagers, plus you need to take differing levels of fitness into account. But don’t worry because there are lots of fun outdoor pursuits the whole family can try – whatever the weather!
Family Cycling
Cycling is great for kids of all ages. Toddlers and babies can sit in a child seat on the back of mum or dad’s bike while older children can speed along under their own steam. If you like the sound of a day out on the bikes, make sure you pack plenty of snacks and plan a suitable cycle route. It is also important to dress appropriately – and that includes cycle helmets for everyone!
Horseback Riding
Horseback riding is just as much fun for novices as it is for more experienced riders. There are riding stables in many rural areas, most of whom will be happy to organize family friendly rides along local trails. Riding is good exercise and even younger children will be able to head out on a ride. You may even find that your children are bitten by the horse bug and start clamoring for their own pony. If so, you can invest in horse tack from the onestopequineshop.com.
Hiking
Hiking is a good way to spend quality time in the Great Outdoors. If you live close to some areas of natural beauty, pack a rucksack with snacks and drinks, and take the kids for a hike. You can enjoy a bit of fresh air and exercise, plus some great views if you hike up a hill or two. Younger children won’t be able to manage long hikes, but older children and teenagers should have no problem covering several miles on foot.
Soccer in the Park
When you don’t have the time to travel far, a quick game of soccer in the local park is great exercise and an important family bonding session. Everyone can take part – even mum! So take your children for a kick-about at the weekend and burn off all those extra calories you piled on during the week.
Nature Walks
Nature walks around a local park or nature reserve are perfect for families with younger children. Smaller kids can be wheeled around in a buggy or pram if they aren’t able to walk. You can stop to examine flowers, plants and insects, or just take the opportunity to have a chat about things. And if the weather is nice, take a picnic.
Surfing and Body Boarding
If you are lucky enough to live near the beach, you may be able to go surfing or body boarding if there is enough swell. As long as it’s hot, or the kids have wet suits to keep them warm, fun will be had by all.
Exercise is important and we all need to do more of it, so instead of letting your kids sit in front of a screen every weekend, encourage them to spend a bit more time outdoors with the rest of the family!
Since we were just nakiki-Wi-Fi with our SIL, they almost had a month long internet connection problems with Globe (intermittent WLAN connection) and finally resolved this week by getting a new line and modem, we were also greatly affected. Haha! There were times that I had to check out emails on a not so nearby computer shop rentals, which I wonder why are they no longer in an air-conditioned area and not to mention the screaming DOTA players. Hehe. Not really suitable for me who sometimes need to rush out on some writing assignments.
I also felt sad that I had to let go of another blog which was given by a dear blogger friend. I really have no choice because I don’t have the funds to keep it up. 🙁 Another thing, I need to fix some problems offline. I even have to turn down a very good offer (job) from a friend for some reasons. Haay! It’s a blow by blow conflicts that are really taking a toll on our lives. We’re still struggling and still coping up. Time and again, I know things will get better in the end. My mom got hospitalized late last week due to high blood sugar level and we were not able to visit her 🙁 Just received a call late yesterday from my sister that she was finally discharged (Thank God!) and taking insulin shot were no longer recommended by her new doctor. Ian and I were so looking forward to visit her soon in their new home somewhere in south.
Kids are doing ok in their new school ( First Periodical Test are up by early next month). I have a lot of catching to do with regards to their milestones. Still keeping up with taking pictures of them every now and then, only I don’t get to share them lately on FB nor Instagram. Another thing, I hope to get some freelancing jobs again.
Catch up soon again… I hope to have some happy and cheery posts next time 🙂
Zesto-O has always been a part of my childhood because my mom would always keep a tetra pack in my lunch box 🙂 I think, most of my classmates do too! haha! Now that I am a parent myself, I share and do the same for my kids as well. They do have Zesto-O as part of their baon. Very affordable and thirst quenching. Love the different fruity flavors. Actually, I am just a couple of years older from my favorite drink :=)
#BatangZesto #LakingZesto
Zest-O Corporation celebrated a milestone last June 18, 2015 as they celebrated 35 fruitful years of providing consumers with quality products that have touched so many lives. Zest-O employees, suppliers, trade partners and special guests assembled in full force at Blue Leaf Filipinas to honor the occasion. It was truly a grand affair that Zest-O deserved. Imagine 35 striving years in producing the best consumer products possible, consequently producing 35 years of making Filipinos happy.
Setting the bar high, El Gamma Penumbra, the grand champion of the recent Asia’s Got Talent, kicked off the commemoration with a jaw-dropping performance. They gave a spectacular show that gorgeously commenced the well-attended event. And to further capture the emotion of the night, they concluded their performance by revealing the 35th anniversary logo of Zest-O Corporation.
Celebrity hosts Atom Araullo and Amy Perez led the raffle that gave away free dinners, gadgets and trips.
The hosts of the night were the lovely Amy Perez and the handsome Atom Araullo, who energetically lifted the spirits of everyone in the audience – sharing their own dose of Zest-O stories. They did an excellent job of securing the ecstatic mood of everyone from start to finish. It was definitely both happy and nostalgic for the whole Zest-O family as each had their own personal narratives towards the iconic orange juice drink.
The program moved smoothly as expected. To further elevate the celebration were special performances from the Prince of Pop, Erik Santos, the freshest hip-hop dancers, G-Force Poppers, and the rock n’ roll spirit of Joey Generoso. Zest-O employees also joined in the fun by engaging in an OPM Karaoke battle. Entertaining everyone present in the event, they sang songs that mirrored the Filipino nature of Zest-O. It was the perfect setup, which encapsulated Zest-O’s Filipino essence. The guests were up on their feet all night singing along to the eternal tunes of classic OPM songs.
It was a conglomeration of stars and VIPs that boosted the energy levels of everyone in the venue. VIPs, such as suppliers and trade partners, gave their undisputed support to the brand that has made an indelible mark on their lives. Each and everyone in the room could attest that Zest-O will forever be part of their young, teenage, and adult lives. And that is a clear-cut indication of a mega brand.

The participation of Mr. Alfredo Yao, Founder and Chairman of the Board, his children Ms. Carolyn Yao, Chief Finance Officer, and Mr. Jeffrey Yao, Chief Executive Officer, also made a big impact to the celebration. Carolyn led a heartfelt prayer before the program while Jeffrey admiringly introduced the hardest working man he has ever known, his father. Mr. Salvador Carrion, Chief Operating Officer, also gave his opening remarks that acknowledged the never fading support of their partners.
Founder and Chairman of the Board, Alfredo Yao, thanks everyone for making Zest-O what it is today.
Many guests acknowledged that one of the most unforgettable parts of the program was the awe-inspiring speech of Mr. Alfredo M. Yao, the heart and soul of Zest-O Corporation. He delivered his speech with confidence and fervor, which resulted to a groundbreaking standing ovation. He breezed through his lines as if it were his 100th time to relay his message. All eyes and ears were glued to his presence while he was on stage. And his words penetrated into the hearts of everyone – motivating each person to work hard, to strive for something greater, and to become a leader on their own. It was a speech that was meant to inspire, motivate, and at the same, challenge everyone to work harder for a better and stronger Zest-O Corporation.

The night was filled with emotions – a kind of happiness mixed with nostalgia, especially during the walk through of the different historic jingles of Zest-O. Though the majority was reminiscent of the past, Zest-O countered it with the future – an exclusive first listen to the newest jingle of Zest-O. It’s definitely another jingle that would transcend time. As with all the jingles they have produced in the past, this one is another contender that would definitely leave a long-lasting mark in the ears of the public.
Zest-O’s latest jingle and mascots are launched during the grand celebration.
(From L-R) Zest-O Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Yao, wife of the founder Linda Yao, Founder and Chairman of the Board Alfredo Yao, Operations Manager Armando Yao, Technical Manager Mary Grace Yao, Chief Finance Officer Carolyn Yao together with hosts Atom Araullo and Amy Perez give a toast to Zest-O’s 35 fruitful years.
The celebration ended with a high and admiring note – a note of moving forward and an indication that the future will even be more promising for Zest-O. Just like what the toast signified, this 35th anniversary celebration connotes a new chapter for Zest-O – a new page that will be one for the books once more. They are already progressing and they are constantly improving their products, facilities, and technology to meet their objectives. And for Mr. Alfredo M. Yao, his dream of seeing Zest-O become an international brand remains firm. With the on-going initiatives of Mr. Alfredo Yao and the rest of the Zest-O Corporation, they are undoubtedly closer to their goal of globalization.
