If you're like me who have grown frustrated for the embarrassing experience of having white flakes falling down on your shoulders, then this article is for you. 

WHAT IS DANDRUFF?
Dandruff is a chronic, non-inflammatory scalp disorder affecting almost half the population past puberty age. Most of us will likely experience this condition at some point in our lives. And while this is a comforting thought that we aren’t alone, this does not downplay the fact that dandruff causes itchy scalp, and can be very annoying. 

Many anti-dandruff shampoos in the market provide relief to that annoying itchiness. But other than that time off from the uncomfortable feeling, there is not much these shampoos can do. Most people still experience flaking and sooner or later, the itchiness will come back. 

THE TRUTH ABOUT DANDRUFF
The truth of the matter is, most “anti-dandruff shampoos” merely wash off flakes, but the fungi in the scalp remain. The most common cause of dandruff is the fungi “Malessezia,” a kind of fungi that feeds on oils (sebum) in the scalp. This organism doesn’t simply go away and is very difficult to eliminate. It is also capable of reproducing and replicating fast.

This is why, if you are really serious about getting rid of dandruff, it should be treated medically, not just cosmetically. Selsun Blue is an effective product in helping reduce symptoms of scalp disorders. 

The medicated shampoo is US FDA-approved and is clinically proven to offer faster and longer-lasting relief against itchiness compared to other dandruff shampoos. According to studies, selenium sulfide, the active ingredient in Selsun Blue, helps lessen the severity of dandruff, thus helping keep flakes and itchiness at bay. 

In addition, the new formulation of Selsun Blue has Honeyquat ingredient, which moisturizes and softens the hair. Those who are familiar with the previous version of the product say that although effective, it makes the hair a little brittle. But the new formulation has that hydrating effect, so no need to worry about hair getting unmanageable.

More than just a cosmetic problem, dandruff is a health issue that needs to be addressed medically. It’s important to get to the root of the problem to know and apply solutions that can deliver results and make a difference. 


MY SELSUN BLUE EXPERIENCE: 
It only took a few days for my dry, itchy, flaky scalp to clear up. This product really cleansed my hair like nothing else.

If there's one thing I need to work on, it is being organized. Having blogging as a career where you have to review tons of product, I can't help but create a mess in the house. With the help of my three boys and my husband, you can just imagine how disastrous things can be. 
With New Year, comes another chance to make a better version of yourself. It is my goal this year to be as organize as I can be. And I believe that I can achieve this through the help of Brother's new product, the Hello Kitty Labeller. 


It is specially designed to organize CD, photo albums, books, miscellaneous items clearly and neatly for easy storage. Easy identification of stationeries.


If you want to include special characters, you won’t have to worry because there are wide variety of symbols. 

There are variety of stylish designs: 
♥ Built-in 34 Hello Kitty symbols and 22 Hello Kitty frames. 
♥ 12 Deco Mode designs
♥ 8 Letters, 6 numeric fonts
♥ Vertical and 2 lines printing
♥ Many clip-arts and symbols
♥ Variety of tape colours to choose from. 
You can use it with an AC adapter or six AAA batteries, the labeler uses Brother’s TZe print engine, which gives it a fast print speed of 20mm per second. It has been tested to last even in extreme temperatures. Brother TZe laminated tapes are durable and of high quality which are water, chemical, temperature fade and abrasion resistant. 
This is just too perfect for me! You guys know how much I love hello kitty, right? I get to have fun while doing something worthwhile. Hello Kitty merchandise is just something I can't resist!
With this labeller, I get to cluster the things I receive and put labels on them so I wouldn't have to go all through everything whenever I'm looking for something. 

Putting notes on the fridge or on anything for that matter, is now fun and easy.                                                   

I can even mark my events on my planner using this kawaii labeler. I was even able to make personalized labels for my family and friends. 

I can be careless at times so I'm also probably going put my name and address on all my things just in case I lose it. 
These are just some of the things I can do with the Brother's Hello Kitty Labeller. I'm sure I will find other things as the time goes on. 

Do you have any suggestions in mind? I'd love to hear from you, my lovely readers. 

Brother is always by my side. Go check out their website so they can also help you sort things out. They are best on what they do and won't disappoint you in anyway.

I've always been amazed by Chinese Art; their paintings to be specific. I've been wanting to learn how to paint those beautiful portrait, landscape, flowers, birds, animals, and insects.

Luckily, I was invited to witness the launch of Chan Lim's exhibit at SM North Edsa The Block Atrium. The event marked the start of the Chinese New Year Festivities at the SM Malls. 



I was able to learn a lot of skills and techniques on how to do Chinese brush painting. Mr. Alex Chan Lim did a live demo for us. 


After his live demo, I was able to portray a few flowers in painting through the skillful help of the Chan Lim students and family. 
But of course, I still have a lot of room for improvement.


We were entertained by Chinese and dragon dance.

It was also nice to see actor and Chan Lim family friend, Robin Padilla at the launch. 
The Chan Lim family is one of the few remaining notable Chinese brush painting artists in the country today, and is sought after in this field. Art classes are conducted in the family studio located in Pasig City. Their paintings can be found in private collections here and abroad. 

I was impressed by the Chan Lim brothers (Alex, Felix, Rolex and Jolex) for they are all engineers by profession and are currently engaged in leadership positions in multinational companies.


Master Jose “Angkok” is currently celebrating his 80th birth anniversary this year, a very auspicious milestone in the Chinese culture. All the Chan Lim art exhibits of 2017 will be highlighting this event. Eight of the exhibits will be specially-themed to celebrate the felicitous family event.

The exhibit is located at The Block Atrium is composed of more than 300 hand-painted porcelain plates, scrolls and oil paintings done by 43 talented artists from the Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students group.

The Chan Lim exhibit will be on display at The Block Atrium until February 12.

For more information and updates please like, @ChanLimFamilyOfArtists (https://www.facebook.com/ChanLimFamilyofArtists) on Facebook.

Witness the majestic exhibit and take part in celebrating a prosperous year ahead!

    The health benefits of almond milk include the improvement of vision, weight loss, stronger bones and a strong, healthy heart. It helps in building strong muscles, maintaining ideal blood pressure and maintaining a properly-functioning kidney. It also keeps my skin glowing. Consumption of almond milk, which contains plenty of Vitamin E, helps in maintaining skin health. I am so glad that it is available at S&R.
