Product Review: SWISH® Alcohol-Free Mouthwash

Image
A few days back, I received a parcel from Unilab, which are product samples for SWISH Alcohol-free Mouthwash to have it reviewed.  I am not the type of person that brushes my teeth every after meal, but I make it sure that every morning and every night before going to bed I do brush and floss. Rarely did I gargle, because I hate the fact that each time I gargle there's this stingy harsh aftertaste of the mouthwash.  But reality is that b rushing, flossing and mouth-washing go together like Rock, Paper, Scissors. They’re a terrific trio, and are not so effective if they work alone. Proper care of our teeth and gums can help us avoid common diseases like gingivitis which can create a great deal of havoc in your mouth. Proper brushing and flossing is vital towards creating healthy teeth and gums, but mouthwash is also an important part of the equation. There are a number of benefits that using mouthwash can bring to the health of your teeth, gums and inner l...

FILA SUPPORTS THE ARTS

Image
 What happens when a young gay man falls in love with a woman? That’s the central conceit behind Red Turnip Theater’s second offering, COCK by Mike Bartlett. A sold-out hit when it first premiered in London in 2009 and subsequently during its off-Broadway run a year later, COCK revolves around a gay couple whose rocky relationship derails when one of them sleeps (and falls in love) with a woman. Debates over one’s sexual identity explode when all three decide to sit down and “duke it out” over dinner. Hilarity ensues when another unexpected guest turns up and loyalties are put to the test. As one character puts it, “It’s the ultimate bitch fight”.  The New York Times calls COCK “a terrific, tense little comedy” while The Huffington Post hails it as “a terrific contemporary play that puts much of other theatre to shame”. This critical darling is the perfect bookend to Red Turnip’s maiden season.  Fresh off the success of their critically-acclaimed CLOSER ...

Champions of Care Challenge

Image
I’ve seen some of my countrymen left Philippines to be in a better place, to stay in a “greener pasture”, and live the “AMERICAN DREAM!” There was a certain year in the past that most people I know were taking up the course of “Care Giving”, even registered nurses and licensed doctors. They say, it’s the easier way to enter the US of A. Being a care-giver. True to what they said, a lot of people from my country had an easy access to the USA due to that course. They’ve sacrificed their high paying jobs in the Philippines just to be a care-giver in the USA. But I must say, Filipinos are the best care-givers around the world, and it is manifested in many awards some Filipinos received. With this regard, I would like to share to you the good news from Health Mart, they have this campaign wherein, their independent pharmacist will be awarding $50,000.00 in grants to community health non-profits to recognize those individuals who are improving health and well-being in their co...

More Wedding Coverage!

Image
This year is really rocking my photography skills! Been covering quite a few weddings and more coming! I am so excited that most of my shoots are in line with couples getting married or engaged. Isn't that great?!  I also have build new friendship with my beautiful clients. Also created connection with the local artists here. Found some good people handling events, they helped me search for things  what I was looking for  and making my life a little easier. :) With this kind of profession, I was able to know myself  better dealing with some people's shortcomings and dealing with some arrogant photographers too.  As I've said on one of my FB status, it pays to be professional no matter what situation you're in. Be humble and let others speak of your great works, not you. 

VDay Family Dinner at Pescados Restaurant

Image
It's not the usual date for me and my husband. It's actually our first Valentine's Date as husband and wife. Husband made a reservation for the family to have a VDay dinner buffet at Pescados Restaurant of Asturias Hotel. Aside from a buffet meal offered at the restaurant, they also have this live acoustic music being played. I just hope that they also had this mellophone at guitar center that I know will definitely be good to the ears of the listening crowd.  We had a great dinner with all the Italian dishes they served.
