Come #SparkTheEnergy with Berocca!

January was certainly pretty busy as in between events and online activities, I had to stop, pause and get my vaccine booster shots done prior to attending physical events later that month. After a few days of feeling a little numbness on my right arm and sleepless nights, I barely had time to work because those times of blankly looking at the screen came back and I had to sleep, take a break and reset.

Whenever I feel something's about to go down, my personal regimen is to take a tablet of Berocca to get those vitamins and minerals in my body. With it, I kinda reset, never feel like I'm tired and get so alert I'd be raring to write creatively and shoot vlogs, interview some of the country's biggest stars and spend lots of time with family. It's always like a perfect day when I've gotten that done after breakfast. Even if I'm a diabetic, I take it as it's sugar free and don't have to worry my readings would shoot up. 

Since it gives me more energy, I'd take it and have extra enthusiasm to squeeze in a quick workout before I go to sleep. I got to lose a lot of weight even when I'm at home because the sessions I do (even when I don't visit a gym) is enough to get me running around the neighborhood. I feel my energy is back and I'm raring to even do more!

Times are also changing, and so is the restrictions easing down. Now there's a more easier way to go out, still stay safe by following all health protocols and taking time to take care of ourselves while we're in or out of our homes. Berocca helps me keep my mind on the game. I don't get often sick because I get the nutrients I need with it. I also think sharper, helps me concentrate, and help me work out smarter even when I'm at the comforts of my own home. If you need ideas and want to see success stories like mine, you may visit superchargedsquad.berocca.com.ph and sign up. Come join the events, participate in the free squad challenges (lots of that there!), gain rewards and share your stories too while you're at it!

With Berocca, come and #SparkTheEnergy! 

Orange Mango Fun with Kim Chiu and Berocca

Summer is still happening, those weird torrential rains is not a sign of the season changing. Just this morning, I got the time of my life answering trivia questions online with no other than the chinita princess herself, Kim Chiu.

She told us about her experience in drinking the new variety of Berocca in Orange Mango flavor. It's still got the same Multivitamins and Minerals but amped up in taste as it likens these tropical fruit we love! I love drinking this when I feel a little under the weather but didn't know it has so many benefits like improve mental sharpness, have physical energy, it also improves alertness and concentration. I was struggling a bit with lack of sleep during these times but I felt it did reduce my tiredness and fatigue, I do plan to have this now in times I feel like I need it. Weird some may say but it kinda puts me in a happy mood too just like Kimmy.

Actually, right after our Trivia sessions, Kim went to another event and participated in a sing and dance activity, she didn't stop there! That is how energetic she is and I've figured if that happened to her, it would be the same for me. Kim also works out daily and aside from having a balanced diet, she takes one tablet dissolved on a glass of water daily. Berocca has B group vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium and zinc. You won't get tired easily and get nutrients from it as well.

If you're up to it, it's available in all leading pharmacies nationwide. If you get certain reactions, consult a medical professional before taking it.

I'm all good now with my glass of Berocca, you should try it out too.

Watsons Make Time For Me Time

I'm sure you're busy, doing things for other people, for work, and probably not think of yourself. It's probably the reason why Watsons wants you to have #MeTime so you take care of the most valuable person in your life, YOU.

In one booth, I was asked about my lifestyle and they recommended supplements that would be good for me which they find out just by asking a few questions. They said I needed Vitamin B1 and B complex, then on another booth, they suggested whitening products for my skin which I've been doing in the past few months already LOL.

Ladies got nail care with hypoallergenic products that is safe for the skin, all from Watsons, which you too can locally get.

Makers of OLAY had us test their online skin checker that gives skin age and mine was 27, not bad I guess but I always consider myself 24 LOL. I don't do anything at night to take care of my skin so they suggested their night miracle cream which sees results in 7 days, I have yet to test that.

I only use their cleansers, which I find light as I use mostly those which are hydrating and water based.

Shamcey Supsup, GMA Stars Ayra Mariano, Marika Sasaki, the Enciso twins also joined the event and shared hair care, skin tips with me. All in all, people from media and bloggers enjoyed the afternoon with freebies from partner brands. 

Now you too can head on to Watsons and get your #MeTime products that is not only good but very affordable.

Amway's 80th Year: Celebrate with Nutrilite

Amway just celebrated their 80th Founding Anniversary by reintroducing Nutrilte, the number one vitamin and dietary supplement in the world to Philippine shores through an event last week at the Makati Shangrila. 

They did it in a big way by inviting to the Philippines the President of Nutrilite Health Institute Dr. Sam Rehnborg. He's been a stalwart of health and wellness, speaking to thousands of people who have not heard of their initiatives in building farms, research facilities, centers for health, their global partnerships plus their wide product lines that aim to better nutritional development of people worldwide. 

They have shared their expertise that afternoon and told us a little more about their efforts. A ton or more media people attended including Don Pusateri who spoke about his vast research on bush from Australia, medicinal ones from Congo and how they made head way in using them for supplements and making nutritional information available for everybody. They also had Amway Philippines Country Manager Leni Olmedo to tell us about their company's great condition and how they have been able to gain success these past few years. The way things shape up is that they are not stopping anytime soon because they know how important it is for everybody to be able to grasp the wealth of information they have collated in years that they've done research in this industry. 

They are also concentrating on something that they think would matter in a few more years, and that's the youth. The better they get to touch base with them, the higher the possibility that they'll be able to make head way in getting the word out there. To ultimately, harvest the results of their research faster and get the benefits of it sooner as expected. 

Congratulations Amway Philippines! I hope you get more people involved in your cause and hope Nutrilite gets to more people in our country too!

Inspirations: Meet the Pharmaton Life Chargers

We went to a Pharmaton event this afternoon as they selected people that would best represent themselves as Life Chargers, a new campaign specifically to bolster inspiration to people who have inspired others and make themselves inspirations too later on. Their tag line was "What inspires you?" I was asked the same question earlier so I answered quite practically and said money. Of course, there are a lot of things that should be important than that. People like the Pharmaton Life Chargers Hindy Weber Tantoco, Maxie Abad, Michelle Ressa Aventajado, Chef Rob Pengson and Anthony Suntay are truly sources of inspiration, they are also inspired by others who are driven in pursuing their goals.

Maxie Abad is a former member of the Philippine National Football Team. He's also a lawyer and manages to still teach youth who loves the sport. He mentions "I truly find inspiration from kids, it's a venue where you can see them grow up from boys to men in a snap. Finding them achieving more than you would be the proudest moment. Seeing them excel in sports even out of football is already the best "take back" you can get from them."

Everyone in the sports world knows Mr. Anthony Suntay. He's gone to every ball sport in the country and if you're not seeing him here, he's probably somewhere else in Europe, the US or elsewhere in Asia covering the biggest sports events there is. He said "I figured what else could I do when you hit a wall (talking about his stints in the Philippines), I ventured with other companies based internationally and got to cover places outside the Philippines." He advises everyone to stay dynamic, but get Pharmaton so it will get you more energy to take care of your family.

Michelle Aventajado finds opportunities to educate people whenever there is a chance. She doesn't take it personally and takes her time to explain things about special children. She also understands where they are coming from because there are challenges in education and being informed. Still, she remains inspired and continues to provide inspiration to other people. "My students and children teach me too, you can learn so much from kids."

Hindy Tantoco keeps her integrity through trials, resilience and perseverance. If she gets to still take that in her place, she's already fulfilled in making a positive change. She's okay with non organic stuff too and doesn't blind herself from those she can benefit from. She's taking it easy now and supplementing with more while staying healthy. She didn't stop with fashion but she takes her time now unlike before where she goes home so late and think about next season to stay ahead. She researched about the benefits of Pharmaton and the idea of supplementing is a good thing for her. She still is a believer in growing your own food, and staying organic. It's what she's been very busy with and the task has continued to inspire people to do the same. This is why she's part of Pharmaton's Life Chargers. It was a treat to talk to her too that afternoon, she was so nice.

Chef Rob Pengson wasn't the smartest kid but at age 19, he asked his folks to get him to study culinary arts. It was difficult, but he was challenged and got to achieve a lot because he knows this is his passion... and he said when he worked with his passion, that's where his life totally changed. They began to open a school in 2007, saying it was a gamble, but when he showed his passion to students who enrolled at that time, that's how he got the ball rolling. Now, Global Academy is one of the biggest culinary schools in the country. He's now giving chance to students to excel, even giving scholarships to deserving ones from far flung provinces as he continues to still follow his passion. He says "Stay resilient and follow your passion, work out and eat the right food. Supplement well, no matter what you eat you don't get everything and Pharmaton resolves that."

These Pharmaton Life Chargers will be continuing to inspire more people, they're as ordinary as you and me but they make their life better by sharing their passion to other people. Take Pharmaton and do the same, it'll help you understand how anyone can be an inspiration to others. I'll try that too!

The New Partnership Of Alaska Milk and FrieslandCampina

We've been sharing the journey of growing up in the Philippines with Alaska. All your soups, main dishes or even your desserts have Alaska in them all these years. It's different, creamy and you know it's made with quality and freshness in mind. A few days ago, a partnership between Alaska and Royal FrieslandCampina has been formed to bring dairy expertise to Filipinos. FrieslandCampina is actually a Dutch dairy cooperative composed of thousands of farmers in the Netherlands. It's roots go back to 1879 and they've been gearing to expand their business for a long time and this move to acquire Alaska in the Philippines was but apt. They have high regards to what Alaska's role play in Filipinos lives. Now, they are bringing even more great products backed with the experience of 130 years!

Tifany Santuyo, a nutrition consultant for Alaska corporation told us a picture of a child's health in the Philippines. Using data from previous years, it only gave us news that wasn't pretty. The incapacity to get the right amount of vitamins and essential nutrients make a huge percent of Filipinos prone to growth stunting and wasting. This also happens in the first 1,000 days of their life, so making sure you get the right amount of nutrition is essential. She also adds how important the Mom's health is and its factors with the nutrition of newborns.

  

Dr. Anne Schaafsma explained to us the importance of protein and how nutrients can be absorbed by the body. He also took time talking about protein denaturation and how it happens. There are a lot of factors why there are problems in digestion with children and one of the major factors why it happens is glycation. It's when proteins combine with carbohydrates happens, resolving this would just take mild processing which makes it digested better and properly.

FrieslandCampina has been always in the forefront of quality; and together with their owners, they continue to produce milk and it's byproducts without shortcuts. They believe in the Grass to Glass process and with their emphasis on food safety, quality in farming, milking, collecting, processing, packaging and distribution, you are sure that what you are getting on your table is the best there is in the world. 130 years plus Alaska's 40 years in the Philippine market, just spells success in holding the title as the lead milk brand in the country bringing only the best for Filipino families just as they always have in the past years.

Now you know you're getting the best when Alaska is on your table. See? :)
