I LOVE HUMAN HEART NATURE: My Favorite Products

Leave a reply

Taking care of yourself has many different aspects. And one of the necessary things one must do is take care of your outer self to be able to take care of your inner self.

A brand that you can trust when it comes to giving yourself some love is Human Heart Nature.

Human Heart Nature is a brand known to have products that is trusted by millions worldwide. I discovered it by accident four years ago when I accompanied a friend of mine to buy some items for her baby in the then newly-opened Dagupan branch.

I am sharing some of my top favorite HHN products and which ones you think you need to give yourself some self-love. And if you’re looking for the latest health trends, then you may check out this Asia-Pacific MSC leadership conference.

  1. Human Heart Nature Sunflower Oil

Human Heart Nature’s Sunflower Oil – the most popular product

It is the all-around oil that helps moisturize, nourish and brighten your skin using different vitamins (A, D, & E) which can help keep your skin glowing and healthy. It has massive benefits for any skin type. Meanwhile, if you’re having some issues with your skin lately, a product like that scalp serum can be ordered online.

I personally use this for my nails (after removing nail polish), dry skin and when I am having mild skin irritations. Transform your nail care routine with the vibrant hues and lasting brilliance of Glitterbels gel polish.

  1. SafeProtect SPF30 Sunscreen

Product Review: ProActiv’s 30-Day Trial Kit

Leave a reply

One of my frustrations as a teenager is Acne. I think majority of high school students experienced a moment in their lives wherein they try to find ways to get rid of pimples and acne as fast as possible. There is a myth spreading around that having pimples is a sign that one person is in love. I am not sure if they invented this just to tell the youngters that they’re going through a normal phase, but this skin problem can also ruin one’s self-esteem – whether he/she is in love or not!

Unlike most girls, I never really exerted that much effort to work on this problem. I even worked once in a medical clinic that specializes in skin problems, and my short stay in that company opened my eyes to the possibilities. I guess I am not as driven as other girls in that department. I also find it dragging at times to put lotion in my body, much to my mother’s dismay.

Lessons Learned from Drag Queens

Leave a reply

‘WHAT?! You have a big crush on a drag queen? That’s the weirdest statement I’ve ever heard in years!”

If a female friend of mine confessed her addiction on drag queens years ago, I’ll instantly give her a strange look. Do you have a serious problem in life that you don’t want me to know yet you can’t handle it? Tell me and I’ll listen. Let’s talk about boy bands instead.

But no. Actually, my love for drag queens started when I discovered LOGOTV’s Rupaul’s Drag Race. They’re currently airing the 5th season in the US of A and I’m proud to say that a lot of Filipino drag queens made it to the show. The fun part there is they look so pretty with the make-up and glamorous clothes, yet they look equally hot when out of drag. My Top Three favorite queens from all five seasons include Manila Luzon, Willam Belli and Ivy Winters.

Pamper Thursday @ Pretty Tipsy Nail & Waxing Salon

2 Replies

Whenever I am in Dagupan City, I make it a point to visit Pretty Tipsy Nail & Waxing Salon. Nah, I am not gulping hard drinks while having my nails done (although guests can do that by special request, me thinks). I just feel that I deserve some pampering after traveling.

Right after our quick Tambobong Beach Independence Day Getaway last month, Gay and I met up at Stargreen Promenade for a girl bonding afternoon in Dagupan City’s kikay hub. With the pinkish facade and girlish interior design, customers will automatically feel extra kikay.

Forever Flawless and Beauty & Butter’s Videoke Night with Bloggers

Two weeks ago, I was invited together with a few bloggers at the Videoke Night hosted by Forever Flawless & Beauty and Butter at Redbox Greenbelt 3. Some of the celebrities spotted during that fateful Thursday night include Lorna Tolentino, DJ Mojo, Hayden Kho Jr. and the newest all-female girl group Pop Girls.

That night was full of fun and laughter. The Pop Girls were really cute and reminded me much of my high school years (I wanted to be a part of a girl group way back… aw!).

ALCUTRAZ Hair Studio Grand Opening Night with Tanya Garcia

6 Replies

Just a little trivia: I enhanced my web designing skills (through mano-manong HTML coding via notepad) way back in high school. I ended experimenting and getting traffic by making fansites for celebrities such as Geri Halliwell, Victoria Beckham, Ellie Campbell (does the name ring a bell?), Cogie Domingo, Jade Lopez and many, many more.

The first local celebrity who noticed my efforts is Tanya Garcia, who was then playing the role of Cecilia in the teleserye Sana Ay Ikaw Na Nga opposite Dingdong Dantes. At first, her cousin e-mailed me then her mom followed. Later on her elder sister Denise was texting me until I received a call from Tanya herself during my 16th birthday. Our communication never really stopped since then 😛

I know that Ate Tankee wants to have her own hair salon business and we even talked about it last year. I smiled when I received a text from her inviting me to her first salon venture here in Manila. She is now the proud owner of ALCUTRAZ Hair Studio located at Metrowalk, Ortigas. In addition, if you’re looking for a dreadlock product, consider using this dreadlock soap, which is perfect for all types of hair.

Go Natural with Body Flavors!

Last December 18, I attended the Blog4Reviews Christmas Party. Though I was late for the exchange gifts and raffle draw, I was able to get my own goodie bag courtesy of one of the best organic soaps in the Philippines called Body Flavors.

It is not a secret in the world of vanity that most people would rather use the eco-friendly soaps rather than the commercial ones. Body flavors, which is owned by the very sexy Azenith Badana is one of the fast-rising soap companies today. In fact, they were even featured in Cebu Pacific’s InFlight Christmas 2009 issue.

A BEAutiful Day with Bea Alonzo

Last month, I attended the launch of Belo Essentials Whitening Toner at Steaktown, Tomas Morato. Media writers and reporters were invited to witness the unveiling of the newest star endorser of Belo Essentials Whitening Toner, which is one of the new products of the Whitening Face Care Line.

I am really happy to know that Belo Essentials chose Bea Alonzo to be their endorser. I’ve been a fan of Bea since she started out in the soap opera “Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay” as Katrina Argos (wow, alalang-alala pa LOL). We’ve seen her grow up as a matured actress. I believe in her convincing power as a product endorser. You can see her sincerity and trust on the product she presents.
