Happy Andrada launched her 2020 Bridal Dressing Robes collection on May 4th at her atelier. One might wonder what's the dressing robe for, or why does a collection need to be made. I'd say wait until you see them. Not only they were for Wedding day preparations, they can be used again, for any occasion for that matter. These robes are made of imported laces, silks, tulle. It's flowy, dreamy, classy, soft, name it. Black dress on an emerald robe, nude colored dress on a powder blue, light pink or even a white dressing robe. As I've mentioned before, they aren't only for wedding day preparations. If you are anything like me who'd always go for the simplest dresses whenever an occasion arises, with a robe from her collection, you can step it up a notch from simple to semi formal, even actually formal. It can pass for a gown should you wear a simple dress underneath it, especially if the colors match or blends. Black dress on an emerald...

Image by Pixabay Here's some food for thought: imagine that all the positive qualities people crave, such as confidence, serenity, and self-esteem, were like nourishment. You could make them part of your personality by doing nothing more than eating. Sound crazy? It's not. It's   science. Your dietary choices can either help you feel better or drive you into the doldrums. Here's why: Your brain uses a chemical called  serotonin to regulate your mood. Too little serotonin can make you anxious, depressed, or even suicidal. Antidepressant medicines can help your body to use serotonin more effectively, but they can't teach your body to make more of this vital brain chemical. Your intestinal tract, not your brain, makes most of your serotonin. But, for it to do so, your gut needs the help of healthy foods, especially those that encourage the growth of beneficial organisms in your digestive system. Nutritionists and researchers refer to these foods as p...

The Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo brings ton of experience to all ages whether you love comics, toys or looking for any pop culture memorabilia. It was my first time to experience attending this convention in Chicago since the location is too far from my place (about 20 miles commute) and considering the cold weather (yes, still cold in Spring!) . I was planning to attend any weekend (Saturday or Sunday) when this contest pop up on my Facebook newsfeed for C2E2 by Bugle Newspaper Facebook Page. I answered the question by sending a private message. Few days later, they told me that I won two all-weekend passes to C2E2 (a belated birthday gift to me!). Good thing I haven't bought my ticket yet so I took a friday off from work and IT'S OFFICIAL, I'M GOING TO C2E2!!! I checked Google Maps right away to plan my trip to Chicago. It looked like taking buses and trains will be too tiring for me since it requires a lot of walking and transfers so I decided to b...

On National Women’s Month, LG empowers alpha-males to do the family laundry with LG washers Even with more women joining the workforce, studies have shown that a bulk of the housework is still relegated to the women. This is known as “the second shift” , where the family structures are still holding on to traditional roles in gender equality with regard to the chores that the women are still expected to do. One of them is the laundry. This takes up so much time and energy that women often feel that they no longer have time to take care of themselves. Aside from the stereotypes that many Filipinos grew up with, where it was the norm to leave all the homecare duties to the women, another reason that men give as to why they don’t help out is that they don’t know how to do the household tasks properly. Launches Laundry Love. From L-R: Actor/model Eric ‘Eruption’ Tai, LGEPH-Washing Machine Product Marketing Manager Ms. Cel Anolin, LGEPH VP-Home Appliances Mr. Woo Young Jeon, ...

Are you ready to dive into the fountain of youth?  Growing older has a broad range of complications, like aching joints and wrinkled skin.  Thankfully, you can maintain your youth and vitality just by getting more sleep.   Image courtesy of Pixabay Running on fumes We often forget our childhood lessons about getting sufficient slumber.  The old adage about “early to bed, early to rise” goes by the wayside for many adults, with sleep seen as a bit of a waste of time.  Instead, we attempt to replace the energy we would gain from catching Zs with caffeine, sugar, and other stimulants.  According to HealthLine, adults’ sleep requirements range from 7 to 9 hours per night.  When we sacrifice that sleep, no matter how we try to fill in the gap, we may sacrifice productivity, focus, stability, and long-term health.  Being sleep deprived can impair your immune function, cardiovascular health, digestion, and hormone production.  I...

Someone asked me, you don't have much posts on your blog . Are you quitting from blogging? I answered, "I'm taking a long break in posting and I don't have much time to think on contents to write." It's easier to say, I don't have much passion lately because I am busy but if I have a chance to open my blog and start to write something really interesting. Another reason is WE (yes, we're a group here contributing on this blog) keep on searching for something that we really love and instead of copy pasting a press release from the event that we weren't invited, we will keep our blog as personal and informative. All of us are busy with our careers and we always talk on how we will keep the blog running. We just renewed my domain and hosting so that means, we are still blogging! Most of the time, people forget to search in topics in search engines instead they go to Social Media which played an important role in promoting brands and stori...
