Ways to Enjoy Summer without Breaking your Wallet

We are officially experiencing summer in the country and as the temperature rises, it’s time to level up your gears as you enjoy Sun, Sea and Sand.

If the sudden closure of Boracay got your plans wayward, there are other worthy beaches in the country to save the day, in fact, some of these beaches are far better and cleaner than the ones we are used to and not to mention way cheaper in terms of cost of stay.

1. Resist the urge to fly - Look for beaches that are within your region. Road trips are way more enjoyable and gets you more bonding time with family and friends as you sing and swap stories along the way.

2. Camp- Instead of booking those high-priced resorts, why not bring out your tent and enjoy the compliments of outdoor.

3. Some water activities like Scuba diving and Surfing may require hefty fees, you may substitute these activities with snorkeling, swimming and island hopping in groups.

4. Protect your gears. You might want to protect your gadgets from the water, using waterproof gears is the wise way to go.

Toxic Chemicals in Water

Water is water no matter how much particles are in it to be identified as foul or clean. Toxic liquids can be added to water and not be noticed, turning it into poison. Water does get contaminated and needs to be treated to make it safe enough to drink and be used. In 1854, the sewers contaminated the water which led to a cholera epidemic.

The water purification method that was used was to add chlorine. In the recent years, it was discovered that chlorine disinfection brings about the formation of trihalomethane, which may cause cancer. The health benefits of cleaning water with chemicals clearly have their drawbacks.

Filtering Water of Impurities

Trying to figure out if the water is safe often is not a viable option as the continuous flow of good, clean water is necessary for any home, establishment, facility, or institution. Though public drinking water comes up to standard, many choose to use filters to get rid of the impurities.

As we steer away from chemicals that do add to the toxins in our body system, the very basic thing that we need to live might be still treated with chemicals.

Author's note:

Recently experiencing foul water running from the pipes in a residential area, it is a must that awareness is there. There are ways to clean the water - though as I said before, historically, Philippine tap water is safe.

The girls had fun at the games.
I have permission from their mother to use these photos for this blog post. 

Pet Summit last year was awesome. There were so many booths that browsing and shopping took a couple of hours. As I walked around, I saw the most adorable little dogs and the fabulous large ones.

A lot of dog groups had a booth. Some were for a specific breed and some for advocacies. The welfare of the more needy dogs and cats were highlighted by these events. These causes provide us with a way to donate and do something more, like to adopt a cat. It is a good thing to have the chance to make the changes needed.

It's a family fun event and as the daughter of my friends participated in the games, these challenges made them do their best. As one won an "identify the breed" game, she was awarded with dog treat products. 

There are many activities that are great for children of all ages. Truly a fun event. I look forward to attending Pet Summit 2018 as we had a great time last year!

The Natural Way to Feel More Empowered As a Woman

No longer are women viewed upon as a far inferior member of society compared to the male counterpart—not having a voice, not contributing to anything other than to their family or selves. Women today are not just regarded as homemakers, but nation-builders as well. Beyond the confines of their houses, they, too, can make a huge difference––be it in the economic, social or political arena. 

From being a household queen to boardroom’s rockstar, women run on very hectic and active schedules on a daily basis. So imagine the strength they have to possess & use during their everyday grinds, not to mention the stress and pressure they have to endure just to fulfill the duties bestowed upon them.

Nevertheless, they’re no “Wonder Woman” at all, nor our very own heroine “Darna” so as not to feel exhausted and tired from chores or work. They’re also humans, who need to take a much-needed break from being, let's be honest here, the jack-of-all-trades. 

This March—declared as International Women’s Month—is the best time to celebrate their power and influence with the gift of beauty and wellness that each one of them truly deserves. What a better way to have it than a rosy, bouncy and shiny hair to begin with.

Because it is the mane that a person is mainly looked upon, at first sight, it’s a conscious effort for everyone, especially the ladies, to make it aesthetically pleasing to the eye. So a regular bottled shampoo and conditioner, plus treatment are, more often than not, the solutions to turn to, regardless of the harmful effects that they may cause later.

Some of the dangerous chemicals the products used in popular hair treatments contain are too much to handle, especially by a fragile hair follicle. Their main damage being mane breakage is hard to live with. Tricky it is to treat the resulting tress that’s less weak and elastic. Though negligible, other repercussions like allergic reaction and scalp irritation also need keen attention and an urgent fix. 

Where else do women usually turn to for remedy other than a beauty salon. After a pampering sesh, they may opt to avail any of their formulated solution for upkeep. For optimum results, it’s best to combine it with NOVUHAIR 3-in-1 pack to promote robust locks and scalp.

NOVUHAIR is the only tress growth product in the market containing 19 natural herbs, essential oils and co-factor nutrients working synergistically to help get rid of mane problems from growth to vanishing. It deeply penetrates to help rejuvenate, nourish, maintain moisture in the scalp and hair, and improve the overall appearance of the tress. Lastly, it’s an effective and safe solution to arrest hair loss. 

So come and celebrate womanhood at your favorite salon anytime this March. Much better if you can make it regularly to bond with your sisters or amigas over a hair spa or treatment. After all, your crowning glory deserves a second look.

Feel more empowered as a woman - order NOVUHAIR 3-in-1 pack online, get one (1) box of NOVUSKIN LIFT with 30 anti-aging tablets worth P2,970 for FREE at https://www.lazada.com.ph/novuhair-3-in-1-pack-plus-free-1-box-novuskin-lift-with-30-anti-aging-tablets-78553551.html?spm=a2o4l.searchlist.list.7.e391346fAMoFEh
