How to Get the Ultimate Power Dressing and Fashion Care

Power Dressing is a Lifestyle Choice
Get that  Power Impact: Clean, Neat, Like New

Power dressing creates a positive impact that is necessary for a blogger like me and anyone else who would like to achieve more.

It is not the cost of the clothes that make it powerful - it is the way you wear these and how the outfit suits you and the occasion. Wearing the right clothes shows respect for the people who own the place that you are going to and it aids in making you blend in.

Clean, neat, comfortable clothes can give you confidence with style, especially if these look like new.

Power Dressing for Movement

Power dressing for me as a blogger requires comfort. There are many times that we must wear business attire, so a jacket is a must-have, and it does complement the sun-ready outfit that I wear while on the road. Black is a color that I typically choose as it does look more formal and, yes, makes me look slimmer.

Psychological Power Dressing 

Wearing superhero clothing makes one get that psychological perk of being powerful like Superman and it is fun for me to wear these kinds of shirts for power dressing for events such as those of a fast food resto and for sports coverage.

Power Dressing for Casual Outings 

As a blogger, I have to power dress be it for a casual outing. Even when I go to the nearby mall or grocery, it is necessary as I do meet people and it opens doors. I also like to look good when I get to hang out to relax with a close friend for that much-needed break.

It only takes a few minutes to power dress. Spending the time to take care of ourselves does a lot good to make us feel better, look better while keeping in mind how to dress up so we may bring out our best assets to be body loving. 

The psychological impact behind power dressing does aid us to be more ready to face the challenges of the world and deal with the stressors of daily life. It also makes us more attractive and pleasing to look at, so it is a good thing to dress up to please ourselves and others, too.

And, it also can give us women that edge when as we can have "power" over men who typically find a woman attractive when they wear red, a sexy outfit, or have the girl next door look- if that is our goal, or if we need wear a power dress outfit for business for that no-nonsense deal but still can look stunningly attractive. 

Power Dressing from Head to Toe

Power dressing includes what the underwear is also, though these are to remain unseen, as I do wear shapewear. It does aid in making one look shapelier and provides support for as we get older, an instant tuck and lift might be necessary. What we wear on our head, like a hat or accessories may also make the diff. Our shoes are vital for power dressing, as heels give us height. But when we have to be on the go, we require good, comfortable, and clean shoes that make a statement.

Power Dressing: As Good as New

Repeating the same clothes, sometimes even for years, may make these suffer from the literal wear and tear we subject it to including when it is not properly washed. When we wear it, it may get stained, dirty, and then those laundry woes of a wool outfit shirking, a collar becoming larger, or fading colors, snags and little tears and those horrible stains that remain or happen when another colored outfit bleeds into another.

When we power dress, we also need to power up our laundry methods to get the proper FashionCare. New improvements in the appliance industry make doing the laundry more efficient, addressing the needs to save our clothes, while saving energy and water, also. 

Power washing and cleaning can be done the old way which is tedious and long and so yesteryears - so we must get out of that peg and use the ultimate way to give fashion care to what we wear.

Clothes are an investment and we must take care of these the best we can. And, though we may have a closet full, we do not use many of our clothes, choosing to have favorite outfits because these make us look good and are comfortable. Our clothes have to be bubbled up, rinsed, and dried to wear again, not get ruined during the laundry process.

Power dressing and fashion care are the dynamic solutions that help us create a positive impact with what we wear, time and time again.

Take a few moments to compute how much the total cost of your clothes are and how many years you would like these to be kept looking as good as new. You can retain the shape and softness, keep the colors vibrant, get that deep yet gentle clean, make these smell great, keep these wrinkle-free, and get to hand-wash in a laundry machine by making the ultimate right choice with Electrolux FashionCare.

Learn more about Power Dressing from the Electrolux FashionCare Ambassador, Rajo Laurel

Power dressing is a choice and it is more than what we wear, it is how we take care of what we wear. It is a reflection of ourselves and as we project the image that we want, we look and feel more confident. Achieving more, depending on our goals, can be as easy as making us have the positive psychological impact of power dressing.

New Laundry Experts! Ariel Men Push for Gender Equality with #JuanWash

Because stain removal knows no gender

MANILA, Philippines — September 29, 2017 — In Filipino households, doing the laundry is traditionally seen as a woman’s sole responsibility. Thanks to the shift in people’s mindsets, aided by Ariel’s progressive #JuanWash campaign, that backwards thinking will soon be a thing of the past.
Recognizing that chores can be done by anyone, Ariel rolled out the #JuanWash campaign which is targeted towards men. Its goal is straightforward and goes right into the heart of the matter –to get men to do their share of laundry duties, one wash at a time. For Ariel men, this goes beyond simply doing the laundry, as it also shows their support to their wives, and moulds their children into understanding the equal role of men and women in doing the household chores. 

As the first detergent to invite men to do their part of the housework, Ariel assembled several celebrity #JuanWash ambassadors. Among them is professional basketball player JC Intal,supported by his wife Bianca Gonzalez-Intal, as well as actor John Prats, supported by his wife Isabel Oli-Prats. 

“The new Ariel Man is more confident and more responsible when it comes to raising his family”, explains JC Intal. More and more Juan Washers all over the country are rising up to do their share of the laundry duties, and it’s a call to arms that expresses what it means to be the modern man of the house. “Ang Ariel Man ay makabago at progresibo. Ang totoong macho ay tumutulong sa mga gawaing bahay to serve as good male role models for the kids,” adds John Prats. 

Local personalities Kean Cipriano, James Deakin, Ali Khatibi, Marco Alcaraz, Sam Ajdani,and Anton Del Rosario are also active #JuanWash supporters. These Juan Washers use Ariel Power Gel which makes superior cleaning effortless so they can easily help out at home. 

Launched online last September 1, 2017, the #JuanWash campaign not only celebrated those men who have done their part of laundry duties, but also dedicated Fridays as #JuanWash days. Considering that most Filipino households do their laundry twice a week, getting men to do the laundry once a week means doing their equal share of the load. By getting men to do the laundry at least once a week, Ariel hopes to transform them into laundry experts with the help from Ariel Power Gel that’s especially formulated for better stain removal with just one wash. 

In partnership with Eat Bulaga, Ariel also scoured through many different barangays in Metro Manila to find Juan Washers every Friday. This put the spotlight on individual Juan Washers, and showcased how valuable their role is in further pushing gender equality in the family and in the community. In so doing, Ariel Men all over the Philippines were able to collect 10,000 laundry hours in just one month, which represents the number of hours freed up for the women in their lives.To celebrate this feat, Ariel handed over the 10,000 laundry hours to the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW), represented by their Chief of Corporate Affairs and Information Resource Management Division, Ms. Honey Castro,as a symbolic gift to women, while emphasizing Ariel’s support for gender equality in the household. This aims to inspire and encourage more men to do their share of the load.

“The Philippine Commission on Women (PCW), the lead agency that champions gender equality and women's empowerment, welcomes this initiative of Ariel Philippines in breaking the gender stereotype that housework is only women's work,” shares PCW Executive Director Emmeline L. Verzosa. She adds, “We are glad that the private sector and advertising agencies have now joined the campaign in promoting the value of shared household and parenting responsibilities among female and male family members. Through such male role models, companies are able to educate the public about more positive masculinities. Gender equality should begin at home.”

Ariel’s #JuanWash campaign comes at a crucial time for Filipino families, whose lifestyles continue to evolve, especially with the rise in dual-income homes and an increasingly progressive cultural landscape that puts equal value in the time of women and men. According to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), formerly known as the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), Filipino men are getting more involved in household work, with men allotting an average of 5 hours working on chores in the year 2000 compared to the average of 1.87 hours in 1979. The trend is expected to continue to increase as traditional gender roles shift. 

"More than providing superior clean and better stain removal with our innovative liquid detergent, Ariel is a brand that prides itself in being a part of the progressive Filipino home. With Ariel #JuanWash, we want to shed light on the importance of gender equality in and out of home, as we all work together towards a more progressive country and a more equal world”, shares Louie Morante, Regional Brand Communications for P&G ASEAN Fabric and Home Care. 

The #JuanWash campaign supports P&G’s #WeSeeEqual global advocacy, and forms part of Ariel Philippines’ #AhonPinay movement which continues to push the boundaries on gender equality and women empowerment. To date, Ariel has an ongoing partnership with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to provide women with training in commonly male-dominated fields. These trainings are envisioned to give these women more equal job opportunities in these fields. 

A lot is in store for Ariel’s #JuanWash initiative, and we hope you can also take part in spreading the word for this nationwide movement. Go ahead and be a part of the change by contributing to your share of the household chores with #JuanWash – one wash at a time. 

In gratitude to the modern Juans, Ariel is also offering a unique promotion for men who would be availing of select services from various Metropole Laundromat branches. Every time men commit to the cause in this way, they’ll earn points for freebies granted by Ariel and Metropole as a gift to the efforts shared in supporting #JuanWash Fridays.

TASCO 1st TIRE ART CONTEST 2017

TASCO, Inc. is committed to live its corporate value of Stewardship. For the last 5 years, it has demonstrated corporate social responsibility by granting financial support towards free therapy services to more than 50 special needs children of indigent families in Metro Manila thru its affiliate, Quality Life Discoveries, Inc. (QLD) that runs the Therapinoy Program. Located in Project 4, Quezon City, QLD provides therapy services to people with disability or learning exceptionalities. In the past year, TASCO has decided to take steps to help protect the environment by giving away free garbage bins made of used tires to communities living near the esteros (rivers/canals). This initiative aims to help prevent these drainage systems from being used as a garbage dump and ensure unimpeded flow of water during heavy rains. Most recently, thru adherence to “Extended Supplier Responsibility” principle, it launched the TASCO’s 1st Tire Art Contest, the purpose of which is to raise awareness on the hazards of dumping end-of-life tires. The success of TASCO’s 1st Tire Art Contest ran from June 5, 2017 until August 22, 2017 and was participated in by different individuals, organizations and schools, was a manifestation that creative minds and artistic craftsmanship could bring life to what we term as “end-of-life tires”. Thru upcycling, the scrap tires were transformed into useful works of art that foster environmental protection and conservation. The three (3) winners of the contest were meticulously chosen last August 23, 2017 by the panel of Judges composed of highly-esteemed professionals namely, Mr. Roy Espinosa, a renowned artist and Publisher of Filipino Artists Magazine, Architect Kevin J. Nieves, Co-Founder and Partner & Design Director of Headroom Concept, Design Visualization Co., and Ms. Anna Liziel Villavicencio Cosgayon, Executive Director of Quality Life Discoveries. The Grand Prize of Php100, 000.00 was awarded to Mr. John Erick Dancel for his artwork design of the Philippine Eagle titled “Magnificence and Rebirth”. Magnificent and critically endangered, the Philippine Eagle is considered as the flagship species in the conservation of Philippine wildlife. The two (2) Runners-Up who received Php50,000.00 each are Ms. Krizzia Rey V. Evangelista, for her artwork design titled “Octopus where eight (8) tentacles symbolizing complexity, diversity, mystery, vision, intelligence, illusion, variability and insight, and Mr. Patrick Alvin Cham, for his artwork design titled “Reviving Gaea”, which depicts two cursed parents turned golems to protecttheir daughter from being chased by black smokes of corruption and pollution, and to save Gaea (Mother Earth) from being contaminated by pollution. Other twenty (20) entries were given consolation prizes of Php5, 000 each. Through the Tire Art Contest, we hope to encourage everyone to think of productive ways to re-use and upcycle scraped tires. TASCO, Inc., as an advocate of waste management, waste reduction and proper waste disposal, in the future, aims to provide support to the “Adopt an Estero” program of the DENR by distributing rubber garbage bins in areas that are close to esteros, which are foul-smelling and pose health hazards. This initiative gives precedence to the communities and other business organizations that end-of-life tire or ELTs, have a variety of uses as they are increasingly being viewed as a resource instead of a waste.

Been on board for quite a while on the bloglovin' site, and I never did get around to spending time on it, until today. It is totally interesting and I would like to explore more as this is a very popular site.

Time and time again I tell myself to exert more effort in getting website views, and even with my SEO training, it is not the priority. But things do have to be done to have a nice blog and gaining more views is one of them. Hopefully, bloglovin' can work in my favors.

Secure, safe, and fast, JazzyPay makes remittance for payments to schools,

hospitals, clinics, and other facilities easy

Safety and Security

When you pay online using either your credit card, debit card or PayPal, the security of JazzyPay ensures that your transaction is safe as the information is not saved. This site has a multiple data encryption that does the task of protecting this payment's system. This means that all the information and data is encrypted in such a way that if it is penetrated, nothing valuable can be retrieved. It is simple to understand the need for not storing important information like the 3 digit code at the back of the credit card. This makes JazzyPay a great choice as the information that you provide them is safe from cybercriminals.

Using JazzyPay

This payment platform has a website and a mobile app. It is ideal to be used by people abroad such as OFWs, and anyone that is not near the facilities that need to be paid. This is also ideal for employers that have to pay for their worker's hospital bills and even those kind-hearted generous ones that want to pay for a school bill.

The remittance of payments to a hospital, educational facility, and other establishments solves the problem of having to send the money, withdraw, and pay the bill by going there. It eliminates long lines and waiting to pay a bill. It eliminates the need for carrying a large amount of money. It is also possible that there is no one there to take care of the bill. A person might be alone, hospitalized, while their loved one is abroad. And, it is also possible that the money remitted through other channels might be misused instead of settling important bills.

JazzyPay does the task of ensuring that the bills are settled through the use of their payment platform.

Who Should Use JazzyPay?

We all have to pay bills. There are over 2 million overseas contract workers and more people from all over the world who do pay the hospital and educational bills. There are over 17,000 private schools and over a thousand private hospitals that currently do not use online payment, making it impossible to directly pay to their facilities from overseas.

JazzyPay enables people to make online payments to educational facilities, healthcare facilities, and other establishments, instantly, anytime, and from anywhere.

JazzyPay has an advocacy. Currently, it is partnering with top educational and medical institutions, to open doors to the discovery and support of the next generation of potential entrepreneurs conducting thesis and case studies in line with agricultural, medicinal and technical breakthroughs which can greatly improve lives.

PH keen to expand EU food exports in Anuga with GSP+ edge

DTI-CITEM targets $62M export sales in world’s biggest food fair

Coconut oil is one of the products featured in the FoodPHILIPPINES pavilion in Anuga on October 7-11. It is the third most shipped product to EU countries in 2016, with total export sales of $551.39 million

The export promotion arm of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is set to further expand the trade relationship between the Philippines and the European Union (EU) as it leads a delegation of food exporters in Anuga on October 7-11 at the Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany.

The Center for International Trade and Expositions and Missions (CITEM) is set to feature the country’s export-competitive products from 19 food companies under the FoodPHILIPPINES industry brand.

“The Philippines’ participation in Anuga is part of DTI’s overarching efforts to step up the export drive in EU member states and take advantage of the Philippines’ zero tariff privileges under the EU’s current Generalized System of Preferences Plus or GSP+ scheme,” said CITEM Executive Director Clayton Tugonon.

Known as the world’s largest and most important food and beverage fair, Anuga presents a combination of 10 specialized trade shows under one roof, showcasing the diverse product selection in the global food industry. This year, around 160,000 visitors are expected to join the five-day event to check out the latest and most innovative products from around 7,200 global exhibitors.

In 2015, 35 Philippine companies netted $67.7 million export sales in Anuga. For 2017, DTI-CITEM is targeting $62 million.

“Despite coming with a smaller delegation, we are not pulling any stops with our high export target. We have carefully selected 19 food companies that are primed for the European market, each capable of showcasing the best of what the Philippines have to offer,” said Tugonon.

Aside from food tasting activities, the Philippine delegation will also participate in business-matching activities during the event.

The EU is ranked as the Philippines’ 4th largest trading partner, 3rd largest import source, and 4th largest export market.

In 2016, the Philippines’ external trade in goods with the EU states totaled to $13.713 billion or 9.7 percent share of the country’s total trade, based on data of Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). Exports to the EU reached $6.970 billion or 12.1 percent of the total export receipts, while imports were valued at $6.743 billion or 8 percent share to total import, resulting to a balance of trade in goods (BOT-G) surplus of $227.74 million.

Among the EU-member countries, Germany is the Philippines’ top trading partner with a total trade of $4.357 billion or 31.8 percent of EU’s total trade. Revenue from export to Germany amounted to $2.329 billion while payments for imports were worth $2.028 billion or a trade surplus of $301.32 million

Within the EU, ninety percent of EU-Philippine trade is concentrated among eight EU member-states—Germany, France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Belgium, and Denmark.

As of now, the Philippines is enjoying a special trade arrangement and incentives with European countries as one of the 30 countries listed under EU’s Generalized Scheme of Preferences (GSP). Under the EU GSP, developing countries can export goods with reduced tariffs entering the EU to stimulate economic growth and job creation in their economies. The Philippines avail itself of the zero preferential duties on 6,274 products going to EU states.

…

FoodPHILIPPINES is the industry brand for the food sector which unifies the overseas promotional efforts of the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM), the export promotions arm of the Philippine Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). Under this industry brand, the Philippines is positioned as Asia’s most exciting sourcing destination for food exports, being one of the world’s top exporters of tropical fruits and marine products.
