How to REALLY Avoid Varicose Veins

If you happen to see twisted and bulgy veins in bluish or purplish color at your ankles and legs, do not panic for those are only varicose veins. When blood cannot flow back to the heart because of weakened valves, blood is pooled to the legs. As the pressure shoots up, veins become weak and dilated. Varicose veins do not cause potential life threatening problems, but the presence of it can lead to other conditions. Plus, they are not great to look at.

Product Review: Camay Body Wash / Shower Gel

I always have a lot of stuff in my bathroom. Somehow the new products just keep intriguing  me and I end up buying them anyway. So here's another that-body-wash-wasn't-supposed-to-be-there story.

A few days ago, I was doing some grocery shopping at Robinsons Abreeza. Then I chanced upon a "stray" bottle of  Camay shower gel by the counter. I remembered watching Camay Youtube commercials and I was curious to try it. What's more, a 100ml bottle even cost only P62.90. That's a FIFTH of the price of the body wash that I currently use (and love to death), Marks and Spencer's China Blue. And this is weird, you know, because I only use body wash sparingly. I only use body wash whenever I want to take a short bath--it lathers quickly--or whenever I want a night to turn out extra special. You know what I mean. *wink*

Okay, let's go back to Camay's shower gel. I bought it and when I got home, I actually forgot about it. I guess it died while it sat under the mounds of biscuits and apples that I bought. (This is weirder: I don't actually empty the grocery cellophane out. I only take what I need and keep the rest in an airtight container.) I gave Camay's body wash a try this morning and my, I was surprised. The label promised that I would smell like a bed of French roses, and that after using the product, I would have"tempting skin". By the time I stepped out of the shower, I instantly fell in love with how I smelled. Camay truly kept their promise.

 

As for its physics, the gel lathered quickly, it also rinses quickly, the bottle comes in an easy press mechanism and the actual gel is in a translucent velvet red color. So sexy, if you ask me.

Years ago, I heard my mom rave about Camay. And yes, they were known for their really fragrant soaps. It felt good that until today, they still keep that reputation up, and they also kept the prices low. Truly a steal at any given day! Try it!

Bioessence Gold Launches Exilis Exilshape

Bioessence has truly gone a long way. With 18 years under their belt, Bioessence is one of Davao’s most successful homegrown brands in the beauty and wellness industry. Today, we are celebrating with them as they introduce another cutting edge treatment: Exilis Exilshape.

So, What Exactly is Exilis Exilshape?

Exilshape is the latest slimming treatment that helps reshape the body and rejuvenate one’s skin (face and body) through the fastest and most powerful non invasive aesthetic device available in the market. It uses safe thermal waves to heat your skin and target fat cells. Its dual energy delivery speeds up the metabolic activity and causes your fat cells to shirink. At the same time, it also stimulates and strengthens the collagen network which improves skin laxity and texture. Say goodbye to sagging post-fat skin!

Here are Exilis’ top features:

First off, it applies effective and rapid contouring solution that precisely targets deeper fat layers. This way, there will be a dramatic improvement of skin density and encouragement of dermal thickening. In terms of safety, it also has a built-in thermometer that constantly rechecks the tissue temperature so you don’t get “burned”, whatever skin type you have. Lastly, because of its non-invasive nature, it also has absolutely no-risk of over-treatment, no side effects and no downtime.

As remarkable as this new treatment is, so is its celebrated endorser, Nikki Gil, who admits that it is difficult for her to keep up with exercise and wellness treatments due to her very busy schedule. She was here for Exilis launch last November 26, 2012, at Bioessence Gold branch in Marfori Heights, Davao city. At the same time, it was also the birthday  of Dr. Emma Beleno-Guerrero, founder and proprietress of Bioessence.

Bloom Facial and Spa Opens 2nd Branch in Davao

Bloom Proprietress Golda cuts the ribbon with DOT Regional Director Art Boncato and Former Councilor Mabel Sunga Acosta.

With 7 years and counting, Bloom Facial and Spa remains at the top tier of the fastest-rising, homegrown brands in facial, slimming and spa services here in Davao city. Their pilot branch, located at Iron Horse, Rizal street, Davao city, started out with only a few services but now they’re on to 30!

Just last April 9, 2012, Bloom Facial and Spa conquered another business milestone by opening their second branch in the city. It is located at Jetti Business Center, Lanang, Davao city, across the new SM Mall. They offer the same line of services as their main branch except for the Radio Frequency (RF) and the Cavitation slimming treatments, with the machines still on their way from overseas.

The proprietress, Ms. Golda Divinagracia, said that she finally decided to open a branch up North because she has one loyal customer who told her that the commute was quite a hassle (she lives somewhere in the Lanang-Sasa area). This customer also promised to bring all her amigas there if the plan actually came to fruition. Ms. Golda thought about this and scouted for places near her salon in the same area. Luckily, there was an open spot just a few meters away from the salon and she decided to open the spa there. Being a self-confessed metikulosa, she admits that the most challenging part of her opening her 2^nd branch is the fact that she has to do everything alone---from the machine orders, handpicking of the furniture pieces and the determination of the opening event menu.

Ms. Golda is one of the most renowned names in the field of beauty and wellness here in Davao city. In fact, she is constantly being invited to deliver inspirational messages for the youth and is a mainstay judge in a couple of pageants. Her faith for this industry is high and that’s what’s keeping her inspired in delivering the best facial, slimming and spa services at the best prices possible, to keep Davao city look “as blooming as possible”.

Bloom Facial and Spa is looking at more business expansion for the rest of the year. More power to Bloom and to you, Miss Golda!

The newly opened Bloom Facial and Spa branch is located at Jetti Business Center, Lanang, Davao city, across SM Lanang.The opening event was organized by PREP (PR, Events and Promotions).
