Sagip Babae Foundation: An Online Safe Space for Women Survivors of Abuse

Life can be really cruel and unfair, so many cases of abuse happen every day to so many people, that's why it's really important to have a safe space or a lifeline that can help one get through something so atrocious.  Sagip Babae Foundation is a newly created organization dedicated to offering safe spaces for women who have suffered from—and survived—domestic violence, sexual harassment, and abuse in its myriad forms. Because such experiences can have severe short- or long-term effects on victims’ mental health, Sagip Babae will stress on granting aid and relief for these women in the aftermath of their ordeal.

NaFlora: Feminine Wash For Women of Every Age

When it comes to washing your lady parts, one shouldn’t compromise, second guess and should only trust the expert. I don’t. I read somewhere that some feminine wash could do more damage to your “V” and could even cause diseases and cervical cancer. It made me so paranoid that I stopped using products and stuck to water and super mild soap—until now. I’ve finally found my match! I’m so happy to share with you my latest discovery---naFlora Feminine Hygiene Wash! I, together with a few blogger friends, was invited to an exclusive press launch & an all-girls pampering session. I learned so much during the discussion! It might be uncomfortable for some people to hear the V word, much more in a very, very thorough presentation complete with illustrations, but it was also very, very educational. I’m so glad I was there to hear it! So let me do a quick rundown…

Do you know that your vagina is as delicate as your lips? The normal flora also changes as women age, that’s why it’s important to choose and use a feminine wash with the right pH level that’s specific to your needs. What I love about naFlora is that they offer specific care for women through their 3 variants. Here they are!

1. naFlora protect – for monthly periods and everyday use. Formulated to help maintain and protect the natural flora. It has lactic acid and tea tree extract that help prevent vaginal irritations. It has a pH level of 3.5 to 4.5. 

2. naFlora restore – for post partum care & as an adjunct therapy to vaginal infection . Specially formulated to help bring back a natural acidic environment and help relieve irritation usually experienced during vaginal infections.

3. naFlora moisture – the only feminine wash specially formulated for mature women. It has lactic acid, chamomile extract and additional moisturizers that help soothe and protect the feminine area against dryness and irritation. It has a pH level of 6.o to 7.5

It cares, restores and maintains the normal balance inside and outside. If you know what I mean. ;) Been using it and it works wonders. Now here are photos from our fun pampering session!

Thanks naFlora for this awesome day! You may purchase naFLora at all Mercury Drugstores. :)

Asian Secrets Spa Experience + Giveaway!

I've known Asian Secrets for quite sometime now.  I remember I attended one of their events before and was able to try out their Lulur Body Scrub and I loved it!!! I love the scent, the texture (very soft yet effective) and it's relaxing too. Asian Secrets Lulur Whitening Body Scrub is a beauty treatment that originated from the royal palaces of Indonesia and inspired by the most luxurious Javanese ritual called Lulur. The ritual was originally intended for the bride-to-be in order to beautify, smoothen, and whiten her skin before her wedding day. Bongga db. Now Asian Secrets will soon launch their newest product, their Lulur Facial Whitening Scrub! Woots! Whiteness all over na, I love it. And I'm happy to announce that Asian Secrets recently launched their newest venture, the Asian Secrets Whitening Spa located at The Block, SM North! Photos!:)

 

hello Mother Cris! She handles the brand and was my former boss during my Robinsons days!:) Missed you!

I highly recommend these to those who wants fairer, whiter skin. Their products contain the traditional Indonesian whitening ingredient benkoang or in tagalog singkamas. 

their new product, Lulur Whitening Facial Scrub! It moisturizes and whitens in just 2-3 weeks. Retails at P70 & P120.

They launched this new line because of high demand from clients who are already using the body scrub. FYI, you cannot use the body scrub on the face ha, obviously. No no no. The facial scrub is made of a more delicate yet equally effective formulation and Lulur Beads that gently exfoliate and remove dead skin cells to smoothen and give your skin a radiant glow. Plus!!! Just discovered the correct way of applying them. You should apply it on DRY skin and then rinse with water after. Noted with thanks! Hehe. 

Price List! We were all given the chance to experience the Relaxing & Brightening Facial. 

 Love the feel! Liked the sounds too. Very relaxing.

my room!

The whole procedure took 1 hour. So much you could do to pamper the face pala! Hehe. Here's a step by step on what they did:

1. Makeup removal

2. Facial Scrub

3. Hot towel to open pores

4. Toner 

5. Facial mask

6. Head or hand massage (I chose head!)

7. Facial massage with moisturizer

I felt super refreshed after I even fell asleep haha. You guys should try it! But if you're one of those ladies who barely has no time to go to the spa, you can just purchase Asian Secret's body & facial scrubs and pamper yourselves at home! Go, you deserve it:)

 Thanks again Mother Cris, Marcie & Krissy!

ROXY Wants You to Dare Yourself!

Following the success of last year’s "Let The Sea Set You Free" contest, Roxy continues its quest to find inspiring and creative ladies who aren’t afraid to make their mark. Being a women-empowerment brand, Roxy, a division of Quiksilver, Inc., launched a global social media campaign to invoke the spirits of women and challenge them to push the boundaries and embrace a carefree life.

 

Roxy's contest last year inspired Filipinas all over the country. With 71 unique and one-of-a-kind entries sent in the course of four months, five young ladies were hailed as the finalists to represent the country for the global contest.

This year, Roxy invites Filipinas once again to express themselves and get a chance to win a trip of a lifetime together with Roxy pro-athletes, monetary prizes, and tons of Roxy apparel. The globe will be divided into five regions namely, North America, Latin America, North Asia, South Asia and Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. 


 
This contest already started last January 25 and will run until June I think (check Roxy's page to be sure). Ladies aged 18 to 28, from all corners of the Philippines are invited to enter the Dare Yourself contest on Roxy’s Facebook page. Submit a 150-word essay, and three photos or a one-minute video outlining how you “dare yourself” to dream big, lead a unique lifestyle, and carve your own path. 


On March 29, users will get to vote via Facebook to narrow the entries to their top 150 favorites. A panel of Roxy judges will then choose ten finalists per global region, who will be asked to create a video challenge. The global judging panel will choose five winners and one winner per global region. 

Throughout the duration of the contest, ladies are free to participate in weekly, inspiring dares, and post these images to social media channels to utilize the hashtag: #ROXYDARES. Mukhang masaya to, let's all try this out! You and your photo might even inspire others:)




So what are you still doing there sitting infront of your computer? Go out and be a Roxy girl! Then photograph / film yourself while you're at it. You just might win big this year! :) Be a part of Roxy’s campaign to ignite the spark in each young woman all over the globe. Dare yourself to dream big, lead a free-spirited lifestyle, influence others, and make your mark. Because remember, you only get to live once! YOLOOOOO!
