It is only 10 days before Christmas and if you haven’t finished your Christmas shopping yet, then you are in a luck as I dish out some last-minute Christmas gift ideas for your family, friends, or inaanaks {godchildren}. And since I am sure most of you will be put off by the horrendous holiday traffic and long queues in the mall, how about shopping for you Christmas gifts online? All you have to do is click a few buttons to order and pay for them and wait for your dependable courier to deliver these gifts right into your doorsteps. Sounds like a very good plan, right? And just about perfect, so you can finish the many other things on your holiday to-do list whist waiting for your delivery.

Here are a few cutesy Christmas gift ideas I though most mums will like:

1. Life Saver Watch From Lovehopefaithgroup

The Christmas season is also the best time to teach children about charity and helping others. What better way to demonstrate that than by giving out gifts that actually help save lives. The Life Saver Watch from the Lovehopefaith group is a perfect Christmas gift idea. You not only make your family and friends happy with their new watch, but even made them feel even better by letting them now that their gifts help save the lives of sick children.

Each watch sells at Php250. You may get yours at Lovefaithhopegroup on Instagram.

2. Toothboxes from Raiz&Rafa

Here’s a unique keepsake gift you can get for your child or maybe for some random kids on your list. Safe keep those fallen little milk teeth. Also includes slot for baby’s umbilical cord stump and first hair cut. A wonderful remembrance for every child indeed. Order here!

This is a lovely keepsake for the little one’s baby teeth, something that every mum will appreciate. I have been eyeing to get one of these for as long as I can remember, so I was really excited to finally purchase from Raiz&Rafa a few months back. These toothboxes comes in two designs for baby boys and girls and sells for Php350.

Filipino Bloggers Network Get Together 2017

No Comments

We definitely had a blast at last year’s Filipino Bloggers Network Get Together that is why I am highly-anticipating this year’s night of get together and catching up with friends in our group.

Now on its fifth year, the annual Get-Together & Christmas party of the Filipino Bloggers Network (FBN) has become bigger and brighter with more sponsors and partners giving their support to one of the most active blogger group in the country today.

Salu, a popular Filipino restaurant in Quezon City, will be hosting this year’s gathering of bloggers and online influencers on December 12. Another co-main sponsor is SvelT’i, a skin clinic that provides advanced health and beauty services using state of the art technology.

FBN members anticipate the yearly gathering as an opportunity to make new friends and catch up with old pals they have not seen for a while. Representatives of different PR groups and brands will also grace the event to personally thank members of the online community who have supported them in the past years.

FBN currently has almost 2,000 members and continue to expand as it provides a venue for Pinoy bloggers from around the Philippines to interact with other members from different part of the country. Moderating the discussions and posting opportunities from different brands for the group are co-admins Divine RC and Richard Mamuyac. With the support of MetroBuzz led by its admin Lariza Garcia, expect the annual event to be even more fun-filled and exciting in the years to come.

This year’s celebration was supported by the following generous sponsors:

Christmas season is indeed the most wonderful time of the year. From exciting last-minute shopping sprees to multiple parties and get-together, we really can’t deny that the holidays have finally arrived. But, along with the infectious merriment the holidays bring, there is no denying that all the stress the holiday season brings can absolutely take a toll on our skin, with all the late-night partying, non-stop eating, and horrendous traffic we all have to contend with.

So how do we deal with these skin SOS and still be as glowing and youthful during the holidays?

Always Keep Hydrated

The holidays are the perfect excuse to indulge in booze and stay late at night especially with all the Christmas get-togethers you need to attend. But keep in mind that too much alcohol and less sleep can take a toll on the appearance of your skin.

“Skin care addresses two concerns: wellness and aesthetics or our sense of being attractive, that’s why we do have to take care of our skin and not take it for granted most especially during the holidays which can be really stressful,” emphasizes Dr. Lalaine Salazar, Medical Director of the SvelT’i Health and Beauty Centre in Timog Avenue, Quezon City.

Drinking lots of water can help keep your skin hydrated but there are also other ways of doing so.

Purify And Nourish

No matter how late you come home from a night of drinking and partying, never forget to rid your face first off all the make-up you wore and end your day with nourishing your skin. The thorough cleansing and washing away of make-up before sleeping is also an important part of skin care. To cap the skin care regimen, Dr.Salazar recommends a cleanser that can prevent the onset of pores, blemishes, and acne; it will also improve skin tone and heal any skin inflammation.

After washing your face to get all the make-up gunk off, apply a proper facial serum that provides anti-aging effects accelerated by the climate, stress, and even genetics.

“It makes you look youthful and energetic. Our stem cell ampoule also reduces the appearances of fine lines and wrinkles, improves the skin tone, and softens the skin as well.” Says Dr.Salazar.
