BNY Style, a Modern Classic Perfect for Teens

One of the jeans that I grew up with when I was a kid is BNY. It's comfortable, fashionable, and most important, affordable. You just can't go wrong with BNY Style and this holds true because till now, many many years later, it's still a modern classic that is perfect for teens. 

My teenage son is very particular about the clothes that he wears. He won't just wear anything. It has to look good on him, feel comfortable, and it has to be flexible. At almost 16, he already has his own style and the BNY Style suits him well. 

It's a good thing that they have an official BNY Store on Shopee. I didn't need to go out, I just ordered online.  

My son loved the BNY denim shorts. He paired it with his favorite hoodie and looked really good wearing it. He's even planning on wearing it to his 16th birthday lunch with friends. I got him the light colored one but then saw that there's a darker one so I'm also planning on getting that for him.

As you can see, these denim shorts are a must have in every teen's closet because it can easily pair with anything be it a polo like the ones below, a polo shirt, a hoodie, or even an oversize shirt.

These short sleeve woven shirt are perfect for teens because it's comfy but stylish while it's also formal that's good enough for family lunch or celebrations without it being too formal for a teenager. This can even be something they can wear on a date, when they are allowed to do so. I personally love the pineapple design as well as the pinstripes one.

However, my son, being the teenager that he is prefers shirts and shorts combo. Good thing this Freedom shirt still looks polished but fashionable at the same time. Mommy approved for sure! 

If you're still looking for something for your teenage girl or boy, or even yourself, I strongly recommend BNY because their style is timeless. Imagine it being good enough for me when I was a teenager and now finding out that they still have styles that I can still wear and that my teenage son can wear. 

Perfect right? If that isn't a testament to how good BNY clothes are, I don't know what will be.

Philips AVENT Bottle Warmer, a Lifesaver during Checkups

One of the few times that we bring the baby out is during his monthly check. When we go to his pedia, we have to make sure that everything he might need for the next 2 hours is complete. My problem though is that his milk sometimes would get cold. 

Problem solved! 

For times when you need to feed your baby on the go, this bottle warmer makes it possible to warm your milk anytime, anywhere. Boiled water in the thermos flask stays hot for up to 6 hours and bottles can be warmed within 2.5minutes. Isn't that amazing? For a Mom like myself who has a constantly hungry baby, this is such a lifesaver. 

Even better, I didn't have to go out to buy this coz it's available on Shopee! Ack! I just ordered through the official Philips Avent Store to ensure authenticity and voila! It was delivered to my home. It took only 3 days too!

Best part? Shopee is about to have their  7.7 Mid-Year Sale where you can expect prices to go down! Time to stock up on quality baby products for your kid! Shop at Philips Avent this 7.7 Mid-Year Sale!

Jollibee's New Comedy Clip that Happiness can be Affordable

How much would you pay to be happy?

Some may think that material sources of happiness come with a high price, but not with Jollibee! The country’s #1 fast-food chain launched the second installment of its three-part JolliSavers commercial series, asserting its stance of bringing joy to us all at an affordable price through its sulit-sarap bestsellers.

The clip opens with “Wil” trying on a nice jacket in a department store, only to find out its mind-blowing price. He then starts sprouting out sarcastic rationales for its seemingly unreasonable value, including perhaps suddenly looking like handsome actor and Jollibee ambassador Joshua Garcia whenever he puts on the jacket.

Watch “Wil” for some comic relief here

With this, we are reminded that ‘di dapat mahal maging masaya, especially with JolliSavers—the more affordable, more delicious option for happiness. Treat yourself to any of its crave-worthy menu items: the langhap-sarap Yumburger at PHP 35.00; the sweet-sarap Jolly Spaghetti at PHP 50.00; the beefy-saucy Burger Steak at PHP 50.00; and the todo toppings, todo sarap Jolly Hotdog at PHP 50.00.

Have them safely delivered to you via the Jollibee Delivery App, JollibeeDelivery.com, #87000, GrabFood, and foodpanda! Also available in Drive-Thru and Take Out.

5 Reasons to Visit Peng Chau in Hong Kong

The gates and borders of countries are slowly opening. If you are like the rest of the world and ready to travel once more, I suggest going to Peng Chau in Hong Kong to ease you into traveling and immersing yourself in the joy and culture of another country. 

The island of Peng Chau, or ‘flat island’ offers a relaxing retreat with easy trails and a taste of real village life without the bustle of holidaymakers, yet it’s less than an hour’s ferry ride from the central business district on Hong Kong Island.

So, here are 5 places that you need to see when you step foot on the beautiful island of Peng Chau.

Leather Factory

Hidden on the main street of Peng Chau, the Fook Yuen Leather Factory is easily one of the island’s most popular tourist destinations. The former factory — a Grade III historic building constructed in the early 1930s — has been transformed into a colorful ‘secret garden’, with artistic graffiti and creative installations made from chairs, bottles, and tires, giving visitors the perfect background for taking selfies. You may also want to check out the newly developed art spaces on the island or visit the pottery workshops to get a glimpse of the island’s once-popular pottery-making industry.

Wing On Street & Wing Hing Street

Any visit to this island is not complete without trying some freshly cooked seafood. A number of cha chaan tengs (traditional Hong Kong cafes) and small restaurants are available along Wing On Street, just a short walk from the ferry pier. Be sure to try some of the local specialties, such as deep-fried shrimp toast, ice cream pineapple bun and steamed shrimp with glutinous rice, before you catch a ferry back to the city. For more food and drink options, there is a supermarket on Po Peng Street; many local grocers on Wing On and Wing Hing streets also sell fruit, snacks and bottles of water and other drinks.

Ngan Chau Tsai Pavilion

Located at the far end of Peng Chau, Ngan Chau Tsai Pavilion is known locally as the ‘edge of the sky and corner of the sea’. To reach it, you have to take a leisurely climb over Finger Hill — rising 96 metres above sea level — before following a narrow trail. Standing on the island's easternmost point, the pavilion offers a panoramic view spanning from Lamma Island, the western part of Hong Kong Island, to Tsing Ma Bridge and Hong Kong Disneyland.

Lung Mo Temple

Lung Mo is a Chinese goddess of water traditionally worshipped by local villagers who often spend time at sea. This temple, which opened next to Tung Wan Beach in 1971, is the largest on the island, and has an interior decorated in gold. Legend has it that aspiring parents who touch the goddess’ bed will be blessed with a good marriage and a greater chance of having children.

Tai Lei Island

Before heading back to the city, don't miss the island’s perfect spot for enjoying the sunset and taking Instagram-worthy photos — Tai Lei Island, an islet connected to the main island by a short bridge. It has a small beach and is also a popular fishing spot.

Make sure to take a lot of photos when you visit Peng Chau because all these places are instagrammable and should be shared with the rest of the world. Hope to see you there soon! 

3 Reasons Why Your Man Needs a Heart Check

And it's not because he may be stepping out on you. We are talking about an actual physical heart checkup in this article.  You see, a lot of men choose not to get a checkup until they actually feel something is wrong and by then, it's almost always too late. 

Men see checkups as being weak and since they are groomed to be strong, they will refuse to have a checkup unless they absolutely must. With the current situation, men have even more reasons to not get that heart check. However, this can be truly detrimental to their well-being. 

Here, we come up with 3 reasons why the man in your life needs to have a regular heart check. 

1. Early detection. Just like any part of the body, the heart needs to have a regular check-up to keep it running smoothly. A regular check-up will ensure that should there be something wrong or clogged, it can be easily fixed. 

When we have a regular heart check, doctors can spot potential problems from the very beginning. When it comes to heart ailments, early detection can mean an extension of life. 

2. Prevention is better than cure. As with anything, when we have regular maintenance of something, this prevents it from breaking down. A regular heart check can help maintain your heart's good health. 

It's very hard to have maintenance meds especially if you still have a lot of things planned for the future. A regular heart check can prevent this from happening and can help you maintain your quality of life. 

3. Men are more prone to heart ailments than women. This should be reason enough for your man to have a regular heart check. 

If your man or partner still feels queasy, no need to worry. He can listen to the Philippine Heart Association's lectures that broadcast via their Facebook Page. The hosts are Dr. Robespierre Reyes and Dr. Luigi Pierre Segundo, both cardiologists at the PHA. They discuss different topics concerning the health of the heart and they do it in a really engaging and easily understandable manner. 

If you are a man who's already in your late 20s, it's time to start having regular checkups when it comes to your heart. As they say, the earlier, the better so that when you get to your 40s, you'd already be well versed in how you can protect your heart and have a better quality of life. 

Make sure to check their FB page regularly to catch their lectures so that you can learn a thing or two on how to protect not just your heart, but the heart of those you love. 

5 Back to School Items every Mom Needs to Make Life Easier

Summer has come and gone so now, it's time for back to school. This year, we started out later than usual because of all the changes which should have given all Moms more than enough time to prepare. However, I do know that there are a lot of Moms that are still playing catch up so to help other Moms, I have come up with a list of 5 back to school items that you need for this incoming school year to make your life easier. 

1. A study table for your kids

Let's accept the fact that this year, it will still be non face to face interaction which means that kids will still need a space at home so they can study. If last year you didn't get a study table for them, this year, you should. 

It has been proven that having a space of their own can increase a child's energy in studying. When they have their own space, it gives them the feeling of being in class even when they aren't. This foldable study table is a space saver since you can just tuck it away when it's not in use. 

2. A sturdy printer like the Canon Pixma G3020 

Since there are still a lot of modules that need to be printed as well as reading material, this is a good investment to have. It also lessens outside exposure because there's no need to go to a print shop or to go to school to pick up modules. 

This printer is a space saver because it is compact and since it has a quiet mode, it won't be disruptive when it prints. Added bonus: You can print your photos on this printer as well and have a gallery at home to showcase the activities of your kids and family. Inspirational right? 

3. A desk organizer 

We all know that kids can be messy with their materials so having a ready desk organizer can help them keep things tidy and easy to spot. 

4. A desk lamp to protect your kids' eyes 

A lot of kids spend time on their mobile phones and then when they do their homework or school activity, their area may not be well lit. Having a desk lamp like this can help ease the strain on their eyes and keep their eyes healthier in the long run. 

5. Ergonomic chair

I've always seen my son slouching when he works. The chair he uses is just a random chair we had at home so I decided to get him one of these. Now, I see him lounging while studying, visibly more relaxes. This is definitely a good piece of investment to also protect their neck, shoulders, and back. 

I hope that you liked the list that I came up with. For me, these are the true essentials that our kids would need for the incoming school year. Have something to add? Leave a comment below!

Jericho Rosales shares how he’s dealing with stress amid the pandemic

Jericho Rosales sure is one busy guy. Apart from a steady stream of blockbuster movies and much-awaited teleseryes, the actor is a surfer, biker, and businessman. Right before COVID-19, he just finished a big project that took almost two years. He was looking forward to taking a break, which involves going to the beach or taking his bike out, but the pandemic hit and he was forced to stay indoors. 

“It sucks not to be on set. And obviously hearing people dying left and right. Not being able to even hug your family sucks,” Rosales says.

In fact, the reality of the pandemic didn’t hit him right away. He adds, “Parang delayed reaction ‘yung sakin. It struck me in June or July. Noong March, it was okay pa but June, July, doon ako medyo tinamaan ng konti.”

During the early days of the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ), he busied himself with relief operations and fundraising events such as Ulysses Relief Fund which was spearheaded by his wife Kim Jones. While the entertainment industry took a break, he tried to create online shows but most of his early ideas were location-based. Eventually, he found a hit with Gabi na Naman with Jericho Rosales, an online show with celebrity guests.

He also hit his stride in his personal life. Today, he is based in La Union with his entire family. He says, “We've all settled and relaxed, and we've kind of embraced reality na this could be it for us.”

These days, Rosales is keeping busy with domestic duties such as cleaning, walking the dog, going to the garden, and executing do-it-yourself projects. He’s had his film camera fixed, allowing him to experiment with photography.

He’s also staying healthy by watching the food he eats. Rosales stays active by swimming, surfing, running, walking, and calisthenics. Rosales says, “moving to the province, mas healthy ka.”

The quarantine has made his life goals more defined. It taught him to focus on the importance of a balanced life and the things that make him happy. More importantly, he learned to be more hopeful and to think positive.

“There are times when you're restless. You just try to be creative and at the same time not pressure yourself. At the end of the day, it's all about safety and staying healthy. It's all about staying healthy [mentally] also,” he shares.

With all the things that he’s handling now, it’s expected that something’s got to give. He says, “I always get headaches because of working out and because of stress. My work is super high-stress. So I just normally retreat, take a break, take some Advil, and then go back to work.”

Rosales counts on Advil to help him cope with the demands of his career. The actor reveals that he has Advil everywhere, from his RV to his car and his “little kikay kit.”

Advil Liqui-Gel is stronger than paracetamol. It offers fast-acting relief for that ‘pabigat’ feeling that stops people from being their best selves. Advil is designed to treat headaches, backaches, muscle aches, migranes, toothaches, menstrual pain, minor arthritis and other joint pain. It can also provide temporary relief from fever.

The Advil Liqui-Gel variant is also absorbed two times faster than ordinary ibuprofen tablets, meaning you can feel pain relief faster with one capsule of Advil.

Rosales can count on Advil as he shares that he’s about to shoot a film in Los Angeles. Right now, he’s waiting to be vaccinated before flying to the U.S.A. He says, “I'm very excited because we're going to be shooting in L.A., and I'll be working with a Fil-Am director who's based there.”

“I just can't announce anything but I've gotten the names of the people I'm gonna be working with and it's medyo scary ng konti but it’s fun,” he adds.

While waiting for the next steps for his upcoming film, Rosales shares some advice for those still coping with the pandemic. He shares, “If you have enough to get by or at least to survive, that's enough for now. It's not the year to get rich. We have to embrace what the world is telling us. Just pause for a bit and look around, see what kind of life you’re living.”

#KapitLangAngSmile in the face of life’s challenges with Polident

The pandemic has drastically changed our everyday lives. For a lot of Filipinos, it created difficult situations and challenges that we never prepared for. However, throughout the lockdowns, the quarantines, and the uncertainty; Filipinos have this uncanny ability to smile even in the most difficult of situations. The truest testament of Filipino resilience is the inspiring power of a simple smile because it’s an uplifting beacon that tells other people “we can get through this together” that no matter how hard or daunting things may be #KapitLangAngSmile. 

This is true as well for denture-wearers. This month, Polident celebrates Pustiso Care Month, highlighting denture-wearers who do their best to stay positive amid the challenges of the pandemic. Its line of products is designed to help them keep their smile on, no matter what, such as the Polident Denture Cleanser and the Polident Denture Adhesive.

To keep flashing that smile, Polident is reminding denture-wearers that it is important to wear your dentures every day as your teeth run the risk of shifting, causing your dentures to no longer fit. Other problems of prolonged lack of use include, dentures drying out and deforming if they are not properly soaked. 

Caring for dentures with Polident

There is a range of products to keep dentures in place. Polident is the leading denture care brand and has all the necessary products to care for and maintain false teeth. 

One of its key products is the Polident Denture Adhesive, a cream that holds dentures (pustiso) in place. It can secure dentures for up to 12 hours, giving wearers confidence to face the day. Polident Adhesive also helps seal out food so it doesn’t get stuck in between teeth while chewing. The Fresh Mint variant gives that clean feeling, while Flavor Free is perfect for those who don’t want it to interfere with the taste of food.

It is also important to clean dentures the right way to prolong their life. Dentures are softer than real teeth so they require special care. Brushing with toothpaste may scratch the surface, leading to bacteria growth. A daily cleaning routine is essential since food particles and plaque stick to dentures the same way they do to teeth. There are numerous cleaning products available in the market, including soaking solutions, creams, and cleansers.

The Polident Denture Cleanser is a soak that cleans dentures, retainers, and mouth guards. It contains four powerful ingredients that kill 99.9% of bacteria and remove plaques and stains. The Polident Cleanser kills 10 times more bacteria than regular toothpaste, so wearers can feel and smell fresh all day. This comes in two variants: a three-minute cleanser for those on the go, and a whitening solution for that dazzling smile.

Soaking keeps dentures clean, especially when a mild denture cleaning solution is added to the water. This also removes particles in between teeth that bristles cannot reach.

Life may continue to present its challenges but they are easier to face with a smile. For pustiso-wearers, Polident helps them stay smiling.

Sekaya gives 5,190 endemic tree seedlings to the Cordillera reforestation efforts

Filipino plant-based brand Sekaya is giving 5,190 Philippine endemic tree seedlings to support the reforestation efforts of the Cordillera Conservation Trust, through the sale of its limited-edition Prescribing Nature Gift Packs offered in time for the holiday season in 2020.

The project is a major part of the brand’s nature conservation advocacy given the natural ingredients it sources and its emphasis on sustainability in the way that it develops products. 

Sekaya committed to matching the number of gift packs sold, and thanks to everyone who purchased for participating in the successful initiative that will result in the planting of Benguet Pine, Dipterocarp, and Mangrove seedlings in the Cordillera region. As one of North Luzon’s major watersheds, the Cordillera hosts nine major rivers that provide water for irrigation and energy for the entire area and beyond.

Because of the overwhelming number of tree seedlings, Sekaya was able to secure, the Cordillera Conservation Trust will be able to plant Benguet Pine, Dipterocarp and Mangrove in Talinguroy, Longlong in La Trinidad targeted in July, and in Uhaj, a small rice-farming village in Ifugao, scheduled in August. 

Each gift pack contained a curated selection of the brand’s natural, science-backed products aligned with the brand’s Prescribing Nature campaign that support one’s health goals and daily wellness. Even more meaningful, the gift boxes featured the Philippine endemic trees to be planted, as illustrated by botanical artist and conservation advocate Cynthia Bauzon-Arre. 

The Benguet Pine, Dipterocarp, and Mangrove seedlings will contribute to the Cordillera Conservation Trust’s mission of preserving and protecting the mountain region and its unique ecological and cultural characteristics. 

"The Cordillera Conservation Trust is happy to partner with Sekaya for this partnership because we believe it is important to connect consumers not just to natural products but with nature itself,” says founder JP Alipio. “Through this program, they are co-stakeholders in the forests that we plant and build. They are active participants in the enhancement and protection of nature through their purchase of Sekaya's natural products. Helping to heal ourselves and our earth home, together."

There are many staples that are considered classics when it comes to Korean food in series or movies. One of them is Kimchi Fried Rice. This dish might remind you of that episode of Coffee Prince where Choi Han Gyul (portrayed by Gong Yoo) eats a whole plate of Kimchi Fried Rice after his fight with Eun Chan. 

Kimchi Fried Rice Essentials

A must when making kimchi fried rice is good kimchi. You can find it at select Korean restaurants near you, or you can go to Korean grocery stores that have it packaged.

Finally, you need delicious rice to pair it with. Royal Umbrella Rice is sourced from the finest grains from Thailand and is known for its aromatic fragrance and delicious texture.

5 Ways to celebrate Dads

Can't think of what you can do for Father's Day? I got you! Here are 5 ways to celebrate the Dad in your life and be chill about it. 

1. Host a virtual party for Daddy.  Even when you’re apart, you can still celebrate together online. Check-in on how each one is doing, do some games, and have tons of fun! You can even invite his pals to join in.

2. Go camping in the garden.  We’re pretty sure you’re Dad misses camping trips with you. So why not bring the camp to him.  Set up a barbeque night complete with roasted marshmallows and circle around and share your fondest memory with Dad or Grandpa! 

3. Get that Daddy groove on.  Put on his favorite tune, pass the mic and start the party!  Watch Dad belt out his serious karaoke performance and perform his dance moves on-stage… or maybe just on the couch.
