As moms, we do not only want what’s best for ourselves but for our families as well, especially our precious little ones. We want to ensure that they receive tender loving care to the highest possible level. We give them our all from day one. Our entire pregnancy treated with utmost care, and it never stopped after we gave birth. We are even more protective of them once they’re born because we know the environment they will be exposed to - it is not always simple and harmless.

In this modern world, most of us would combine traditional techniques and beliefs in raising our babies. During my free time, I still research on tips and ideas from other moms out there for better ways of caring for my kids. This is an endless process. We encounter a lot of products that can possibly be our partner in properly maintaining their health. I think it’s very important that we make a habit of checking the composition of everything we use for ourselves and our babies. If you agree, check what you have in your dresser. Do you see parabens, magnesium sulfate, dyes, phthalates, SLS and formaldehyde on the labels of the baby powder, lotions and body wash our family uses? These are some of the toxic chemicals that we don’t want to use, especially on our babies.

Why choose from safe, gentle or natural when you can have all with the help of Belo Baby? 
Yes, that’s right! Crafted with care for the most delicate skin, for the most meticulous moms, Belo has introduced a new line of products only for our babies’ skin – Belo Baby Hair and Body Wash, Belo Baby Bar Soap, Belo Baby Face and Body Lotion, Belo Baby Cologne. 

I was very eager to use the Belo Baby products on my kids. 

Here’s my brief review on each product based on my experience with using them.

The Belo Baby guarantee will put your mind at ease. The products are certified 100% natural with 0% chemicals. The core natural ingredients are cocoa butter, shea butter, and sweet almond oil, all good for baby’s delicate skin. 

Cocoa Butter is an ingredient that contains antioxidant qualities that protect skin from the outside and keeps skin healthy by strengthening and deeply moisturizing it. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, as it also relieves common skin irritations, like rashes. Shea Butter is a known superfood for the skin and hair. It heals, protects, nourishes and moisturizes skin from damage and dryness, and it is natural, gentle, soft and suitable for all skin types (especially for delicate and sensitive skin). It naturally heals common skin conditions like eczema and diaper rash. Sweet Almond Oil helps lock moisture in the skin and is a good exfoliator, to help remove dead skin cells and stimulate the development of healthy skin.

Belo Baby Hair and Body Wash (Php 219.75 per 200ml bottle)
Even though my kids are no longer infants, I still chose to use the Belo Baby Hair and Body Wash from the very first day I got it whenever they take a bath. We enjoyed the sweet almond smell, and it makes me remember the times when they were still very little. I loved it when the scent is not strong. My kids and I were very pleased with the initial effect. It was so soft on their mild skin that my hands felt so soft as well when I applied the liquid using the easy bottle pump. Unlike other hair and body wash, the white creamy soap left my kids’ skin moisturized, not dry. I noticed it doesn’t foam, which is really good. I learned that the more foam and suds the soap creates the more sulfides it contains. I don’t like seeing those horrible chemical and preservatives anymore, so I glad Belo Baby is free of those. It’s also easy to pack, and not messy to bring when we travel. Belo Baby Hair and Body Wash is definitely a keeper.

Belo Baby Bar Soap (Php 79.75 per 100g pack)

My children love playing outside so they get exposed to germs and dirt that always make me crazy. I’m glad I now have Belo Baby to help me maintain their cleanliness not only when taking a bath. We are used to baby wipes, sanitizer and alcohol to make sure their hands are germ-free. Yes, these are hygienic but not necessarily safe for kids. In this case, I found Belo Baby Bar Soap very helpful. It puts my mind at ease. I have trained my kids to wash their hands countless times a day, and it is a plus that now they get to use a bar soap specifically designed for them. It is rich in natural ingredients that maintain our baby’s gentle and delicate skin.

Belo Baby Face and Body Lotion (Php 224.75 per 150ml bottle)

After taking a bath in the morning and cleaning up at night before going to sleep, I have developed the habit of applying lotion not only on my skin but also on my kids’. It gives extra freshness and moisture, which makes their skin gentle and soft to touch. The previous product I used on them leaves a greasy feeling that I was not really happy about, and I couldn’t use it on their face. I have been looking for a lotion that gets easily absorbed, hydrates and nourishes the skin, both face and body. Belo Baby Face and Body Lotion is perfect with its all-natural ingredients! It was so easy to use, and the smell is heavenly, too!

Belo Baby Cologne (Php 79.75 per 100ml bottle)

The special baby cologne line is available in three variants – Happy Tickle, Cool Drizzle, Sweet Snuggle. Every one of them has a unique gentle fragrance that will not mask your baby’s natural smell. 
The Sweet Snuggle is the mildest, which is now my personal favorite. 
The Happy Tickle suits active and sporty kids like my children, 
and the Cool Drizzle gives a super refreshing scent. 

My kids loved them all that they started sniffing each bottle when I got home with the products. They like using them daily, even when they are just home. It is a great way to cap off the wash or soap, and the lotion.

All in all, I am very satisfied and blissful that I found the perfectly effective baby products I have been looking for. Belo Baby is very affordable unlike other natural products so price should not make you hesitant to try. I definitely recommend all Belo Baby products for your baby’s precious skin. And I must tell you that being a baby doesn’t stop in infancy nor toddler years. Therefore, we should not cease from caring for our children’s delicate skin by using products not meant for them. At the end of the day, we never want to put our dear children at risk in any way. 

Belo Baby will not disappoint us because it has been developed carefully by the most trusted brand. Try it now, and say “Only Belo touches my baby’s skin.”

I know it’s not the love-month February, but love can be celebrated anytime we want. This summer, Knorr, Unilever’s top food brand, released a global campaign, that I am pretty sure, everybody can relate to. #LoveAtFirstTaste is all about stories of finding love in flavors. I’m very much supportive of this promo because I have first-hand experience on how food helped me find my soul mate. We are both food lovers!

Research showed culinary experience constructs certain feelings with people, and revealed how flavor preferences determine how we find our match. Most of the time, we don’t notice how food tells us more about ourselves than what we already know. Here are some numbers for you:

Sample: 12,000 persons in 12 countries
  • 83% claim to be more attracted to people who enjoy the same food flavors as them
  • 80% see flavor as an important part of their everyday life
  • 69% find the idea of trying out new flavors sexy and exciting
  • 73% would even most willingly give up social media first forever before sacrificing flavor
  • 33% say they found someone ordering a dish they disliked a turn off
  • 20% say choosing a meal they didn’t like to impress a date

 Anchored on a statistics proving that flavor preferences can impact connections to other people, Knorr had a unique social experiment where strangers were paired on a blind date based on their personality flavor. Wondering how personality flavors are determined? Try it yourself by going to the Flavor Profiler at myflavor.Knorr.com. 

Discover which one of the twelve flavor profiles you are! Here’s the 3-minute short film that will either inspire you or will bring back memories about how food made you fall in love.

The influence of food to traditions and culture can go very deep. You have to really dig into researches to find out how food played a vital role in creating different types of relationships. Well, that’s history. I doubt if this is not obvious and invisible in our current situations. 

I believe food will always be associated in every memory we create daily. When we go out with our peers or family, we take pictures of our food and post in social media. We try a new restaurant on first dates. We visit a certain place just to try the delicacies. We discover new recipes to prepare for special occasions or simply pour ourselves in the kitchen to create the best dish for a special someone. 


GIVEAWAY ALERT!
It’s your turn to share how flavors added meaning to your life with your partner, best friends, family, etc. I can’t wait to read your stirring and ground-breaking #LoveAtFirstTaste experience. 

The 3 best stories will win exclusive gift packs from Unilever. This is going to be so much fun!

Ageing is inevitable. In this day and age, there are a lot of catalysts to ageing – stress, pollution, lifestyle, food, etc. Sadly, these things are constant to life’s equation. As much as we want to stop getting old, we can’t. We continuously seek for ways to at least slow it down though. I, for one, am guilty of that. I want to achieve longevity of life to be able to do more for my family, especially my kids. And I want to stay as youthful and active as I can be to perform my duties and do my work better. As a working mom, I always look for beneficial products and services that will help me realize my goals. 

Interestingly, a good friend of mine offered the ageLOC Galvanic Spa set from Nu Skin Philippines. I did a little bit of research about it and I’ve read many good things Nu Skin has to offer.

Nu Skin has been operating for more than 30 years researching and developing unique anti-aging products by effectively targeting its source at a cellular level. It has been recognized by several award-giving bodies over the years.

What’s even more surprising is that the reputable Galvanic Spa can be used to address both your scalp and your face concerns!

It was very timely since I have been looking for a great product to battle my husband’s hair fall problem. It included Nutriol Shampoo and Hair Treatment.  
I was so curious about the instant and long-term effect of this anti-aging product, so I also tried it as soon as I got it. I was tremendously happy and satisfied about the preliminary result! It was effective in giving my skin softer, glowing and younger feel. It is certainly unique and there’s more to it than that. All you have to do is experience the products yourself, a lot of doors will open for you.

I got so inspired to know I can also join Nu Skin with a minimum purchase of P1250 for Business Portfolio, and enjoy the perks of doing business with them by sharing my experience about the wide range of health and wellness products. Hopefully, I will get to influence other hardworking moms who are looking for boundless opportunities too. Who doesn’t want to spend more time with the family and earn simultaneously? I believe everyone does.

To get more acquainted with the products and services of Nu Skin Philippines, I didn’t have any second thoughts when I received an invite to attend the Create History Convention 2016 at the Philippine Convention Center last April 16, 2016. I was overwhelmed to learn new things and discover new ways to stay healthy and young. It featured different arrays of premium products – from beauty and personal hygiene products to food supplements.
Nu Skin’s Vice President for Global Research and Development, Dr. Mark Bartlett
One of the highlights in the convention was the introduction of the most advanced anti-aging supplement ageLOC Y-Span. Made with carefully selected ingredients that are vital to our body’s natural youthful activities, it defends our bodies from accelerators of ageing. I’m also excited to try the new product, ageLOC Me! 


“DISCOVER THE BEST YOU” – Nu Skin’s new tagline was stimulatingly appropriate for a newbie like me. Nu Skin Philippines has been changing lives for 18 years now and the event marked a new milestone. Guest speakers talked about the accomplishments and updates about new innovations that will even make the company stronger and successful in promoting youthful and healthy living. There were workshops and different booths setup to address a holistic method of caring for our body.













I was so inspired by the transformation Nu Skin did to those who walked on stage and the testimonies they gave. Real Before-and-After effect of ageLOC TR90! It’s not just about looking young but staying fit and healthy. I want to lose some weight too.

Part of the celebration was a fund-raising activity in a form of a luncheon. Ticket proceeds will benefit the Child Health in Life and Development (CHILD) Foundation of the Philippine General Hospital.


Nu Skin doesn’t simply aim to create a healthy community within but also outside. With the commitment of the members, there are different charity works to accomplish this task. In 2015, it sponsored 120 heart surgeries for Child Foundation as part of their mission to promote healthy lifestyle and fight heart disease. Nu Skin’s local partner is CHILD Foundation of PGH since 2007, and to date a total of 538 kids from CHILD have been provided life-saving heart surgeries through funds raised by employee and distributor donors in the region.

Watch this video of Nu Skin's Force For Good foundation has a long standing collaborative effort to fund heart surgeries for underprivileged children born with congenital heart disease. 

Being a Force for Good, distributors were recognized during the program for helping Southeast Asia Children’s Heart Fund and providing VitaMeal to relieve hunger in countries that need it the most.

What’s more enjoyable than doing what you’re so passionate about? Nu Skin Philippines also offers overgenerous travel incentives. This is perfect for those who love adventures and explorations in different places… Like myself! Some members will go to Europe this year with their families. Awesome!

The STAR Creators will be going on a Trip to Dubai next year. I want to be part of it too! This will be absolutely exciting.


The fruit of hard work is absolutely the sweetest. Sometimes, it pays to get out of your comfort zone and try something new. The result is not even unknown with Nu Skin’s products and services. Be inspired with your dreams and explore all possibilities, we’re only bound to succeed with focus and determination. I want to be better, and this should be our endless mantra. Learn new things, welcome opportunities and take on journeys. I’m looking forward to all great things to come with the help of Nu Skin, and you should too.

Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later. -Og Mandino

Most of my life I've been plagued with dry skin and I suspect that living in a tropical and polluted country while staying most of my time in an air-conditioned room was simply making it worse. 

But now my skin will be moisturized all thanks to Vaseline. Personally I really love the fragrance of the Vaseline moisturizer and how easily it is absorbed into my skin, my skin feels smooth and not sticky or greasy. 

Vaseline aims to make it easy to replenish skin’s moisture by infusing what is known as a wonder ingredient into their NEW Vaseline body lotions.

In 1859, New York-based chemist Robert A. Chesebrough created a wonder jelly, a do-it- all product that can heal burns, rashes, chapped skin, cuts, bruises, and more. 
A few years later, this wonder jelly was labeled Petroleum Jelly, which is now an important staple in all households because of its healing properties and outstanding skin benefits, and which is also the very ingredient that is now present in New Vaseline body lotions. 

The new Vaseline Lotions now has micro-droplets of Vaseline Jelly that works deep from within the epidermis to bring back lost moisture and heal dry skin. 
To showcase and prove the healing power of Vaseline, Vaseline took the ultimate test when it mounted a live billboard along C5 last April 8-10. Real leaves were used, and half of them were covered with Vaseline jelly, while the other half had none. After three days, the difference was visible. 
The side that was coated with Vaseline jelly remained vibrant and moisturized, while the other half dried out completely. If Vaseline can keep a leaf vibrant and moisturized, imagine what it could do to dry skin.

Try it for yourself and feel the difference it could do to your skin. 

To know the condition of your skin, take the Dry Skin Test on, http://www.vaseline.ph/skin-index-test

Vaseline products are available at leading supermarkets and drugstores nationwide. 

Vaseline Intensive Care Deep Restore Lotion are affordably priced at: 
100ml- P69.30
200ml-P126
400ml-P126.
