Discover what’s standing between you and your success in preventing hair loss

There comes a time in your life that you have to stand up and say, “Enough is enough.” And that’s the day when you decide to change your life for the better. Who doesn’t want to become accomplished? Even the “gifted” and brilliant ones have to pay the price so as to realize their goals in life.

When we fail to eat on time, get enough exercise or sleep between seven to nine hours a day, we’re compromising our health and wellness as we reduce the maximum extent that our body must function. Consequently, the effects in our body may extend and manifest as early warning signs of hair loss.

Take it from celebrity beauty and salon expert Fanny “TF” Serrano, who once personally experienced such an ordeal.  For him, avoiding harsh synthetic solutions and choosing to use the right products with natural ingredients is a must and still the best way to deal with mane problems like losing or thinning of the hair. 

With this in mind, embracing a natural and healthy lifestyle is so important to achieve optimal health, best physical condition and a healthy full head of hair. Health products made out of natural ingredients are way effective for better healing and maintaining our body’s lifelong function than those of synthetic ones. Rather than investing in those branded shampoos or other hair treatments, there’s a natural way to help arrest hair loss and help remedy its four early symptoms, namely, excessive hair shedding, thinning hair, receding hairline, and bald patches. This is none other than NOVUHAIR, nature’s answer to hair loss.

All You Can Eat Rib Eye Steak At Tus’ Restaurant

When asked if there was a single item that I would like to eat daily for the rest of my life, my answer would be and always will be steak. The good news is that Tus' Restaurant has now with their unlimited promo, the steak cravings are going to be heapings of the meat and the sidings!

Tender steak with its own pesto sauce for spreading, lemon for squeezing, and a hot chili pepper for that optional kick. No need for any other condiment or dipping sauce, as it has the tasty goodness of great steak. The texture is soft and the marbling is fabulous. 

Tus' made me change my mind what to eat daily for the rest of my life as it is impossible to decide when I was there to only eat steak. There are other delicious food items that hit the spot as these are tops. Their menu provides you with a gourmet feast.

Among the great steaks, Tus' has one that is meaty, juicy, and soft. The slice is large enough to give in totally to those meat cravings and you'll be spellbound as it has that melt-in-the-mouth quality. Of course, how it is cooked is the key to get the desired texture, and the one that I tried was medium. What was great was the meat and the way it is marbled.

If you had read my published work, "The Beef Lover's Cookbook", you would be glad to know that beef is one of the healthiest protein intakes that we can have. In my cookbook are beloved recipes, though I did not write about how to make the perfect steak.

The perfect steak is the only thing that you must learn how to cook to make an impression on others. It is the only dish, for me, that reigns above the rest. A lot of our family parties had only one primary dish on the menu, and that was steak. We would place a few other dishes for the children but it has to be steak.

Moonleaf for weight loss, weight gain, energy and as a remedy

The opening of Moonleaf BF Homes at The Pergola Mall made me recall the time I went with one of my daughters to Moonleaf Maginhawa St, at QC. At that time, bubble milk tea was not yet popular, though there were other stalls that offered cold preparations with sago.

At that time, I did not drink milk tea. I did say yes to my daughter's request for her to order there, as she does drink a lot of tea and said that it was a must-try. Since there was no Moonleaf in the South then, she got her fill after ordered her brew. As she explained to me what makes Moonleaf different from those small shops, I simply listened and tasted her milk tea. I cannot argue with an expert.

Now that bubble milk tea is one of the most popular beverages in the Philippines, thanks to Moonleaf, I have had the delight of trying various milk teas. During the recent WOFEX 2019, on the second floor of SMX, there was so much milk tea sampling. Thanks to the discerning palate of my daughter, and the exposure at WOFEX as I got to see the supplies, and after we had visited more milk teas shops since Maginhawa, I have learned how to note the difference between powdered preparations and those made with brewed tea.

There is nothing wrong with powdered drinks, please note that. It is just that freshly brewed tea is better. The choice of tea leaves also makes a difference. Moonleaf brews their own tea from the finest selection of leaves and adheres to the standard that made them boom from that one store in Maginhawa a few years ago to have over 60 branches all over the Philippines.

Now that Moonleaf is open at BF Homes, it would be easier for me and my family to enjoy their drinks that come with good vibes. It's the easiest thing to take home, and it is the place to hang out as it does have the right vibe, and you will like the friendly staff, and the fast service. 

This newly-opened Moonleaf branch is located at The Pergola Mall, Aguirre Ave, BF Homes Paranaque. Since it is situated on the right side of the entrance of this mall, it is possible to be dropped off, get an order, and all in waiting time. There is a lot of parking areas. For more information, visit the Moonleaf BF Paranaque Facebook page. 

Why drink Moonleaf?

It's a common misconception that most beverages are fattening but at Moonleaf, that is not the case. There are blends that'll help you lose weight, some for weight gain, and a few that work as natural remedy and cure - in a delicious drink.

Tea has health benefits and it does contain caffeine that gives a lovely lift.  The caffeine in tea helps one lose weight. The various blends include those that have flushing capacities. These include drinks like lemonade and watermelon. You can push for weight loss by adding Chia seeds. 

Pearl balls are made from tapioca, a starch extracted from the cassava root. It is filling. Yet there are other alternatives that would help one feel full and still lose weight, such as adding the grass jelly.

The Yakult blends and the one with charcoal are good for those with gastritis. It is a natural cure that will bring about the right balance to the tummy.  Yakult is a probiotic and does wonders for our digestive system. The charcoal drink can work to cure a mild to mediumly severe stomach acidity attack. Take note that what Moonleaf uses is activated charcoal, which is the medicine for food poisoning and gets rid of those gases that make our stomach feel bloated, the natural way. 

Milk and even the whipped cream contains calcium. It is the sugar level option that you would have to study before ordering.  25 percent is fine for dieters, 50 is just right, and for the fullness of strength of the mix, 100. We at times do need sugar, especially if we require that extra energy boost.  There is also chocolate that does make us feel happier, and that is a fact. So, when feeling the blues, it's the best reason to get a Moonleaf as we all have to give in to our cravings.

I can go on and on about the health benefits that come in a cup of good vibes that Moonleaf provides. Yet, it is up to you to make the decision which to add on and which drink to take. Moonleaf is a way to wellness and better health, for weight gain, weight loss, for energy, and for vitamin, fiber, and calcium intake, and so much more - with the ease of a drinking a beverage and the advantage of it being a delicious intake. Here's my grandchild, Renee Quema, having her first taste of Moonleaf bubble milk tea.

Drink a Moonleaf and give it to someone to share the good vibes.

Teng Roma Salon: A Cut Above The Rest

Let Teng Roma Salon at Festival Mall wave its magic wand to turn you from drab to fab.

Beauty is a journey and with the professional care of Teng Roma, it will be achieved, especially for the crowning glory. An assessment of the hair using a sophisticated gadget is how you will start your path to more beautiful hair. At Teng Roma, healthy hair that shines and sways is what you will get., along with your desired look, upon their suggestion, if you let them guide you, your dream hair will come true.

Before and after

My daughter Maxi Quema, hails from Vigan, Ilocos Sur where our heritage home is. The Quema family is distinctively known for their white hair that occurs when they are young. Maxi has been covering up her white hair with hair dye since she was 14. Her hair has long strands of white hair, that interplay with her natural brownish-black hair, and faded hair dye.

Maxi is a fashion model contest winner. She has surfer hair girl hair, and it is subjected to more wear and tear than usual. Since she gave birth to baby blogger Renee, and during her pregnancy, she has not had her hair colored and has had only one hair dye in a couple of years. The demands of motherhood make her ignore her hair, giving it only the usual at-home shampoo and conditioning treatments. The picture below shows Maxi's hair during a presscon as she was carrying Rene to meet Elmo.

Her hair got cut according to the waves and got precision cutting at Teng Roms Salon at Festival Mall. As the hair fell down to the floor, it was not a scary lot, as the length was nearly maintained, as it was being sculpted.

The colored using the Balayage technique, which is to sweep the color for that designer look as the highlights of her hair. The color applied in strategic areas made the visible change. Teng Roma Salon at Festival Mall has the cutting-edge and is the color haven.  There are colors for the desired look. The choices are varied but what makes the difference is the technique. The application style is studied and precise, for each lock to look fantastic.

...and the results? Maxi still looked as natural as possible, and as glamorous as possible.

Luxurious locks are not achieved by luck. When we are young, our hair is not yet exposed to the elements. It shines and has its natural beauty. As we get older - the sun, sea, wind, dust, pollution, and the things that we use on our hair such as dyes and gels, go on our scalp and on the strands of our hair.

Ever think that our hair and scalp might need a good detox?

Me getting the Head Soda Spa Treatment

The Head Soda Spa Treatment at Teng Roma Salon is the deep cleanse that cleans the scalp, follicles, and strands. It achieves the removal of all the formulations that we use that cannot be removed by our usual hair washing routine.

It is for normal and all types of hair, be it colored or not. It is a treatment that solves certain scalp and hair concerns. It is for hair and scalp rejuvenation.

The process includes using a cleansing product and the warmth fizz of carbonated water. After the first deep cleanse, there is a hair spa treatment with head, neck, and back massage, and then again the Head Soda rinse with the pulsating water rinsing off that which makes the hair heavy and dull.

Personalized haircare

Not all hair is the same. Some have damaged hair and only require intense treatment for a certain period of time. Hair treatment is a must for repair. Kérastase by L'Oreal is a hair mask that is extra special. It does bring on the shine. Each and every strand will be shimmering thanks to this intensive hair and scalp treatment.

It's our hair and we can do what we want. We do what we prefer, cutting, styling, and coloring our hair. Through the years, the things that we do may damage our hair. Ever enter a parlor and the staff says your hair is damaged? It is irritating sometimes to hear such a statement, but at Teng Roma, it is the result of an analysis that no one can argue with. What is great is that the damaged assessment comes with solutions.
