5 Innovative Gift Hacks this Christmas Season

10:50:00 PM




It's the first Sunday of December and few more days to go till Christmas. Have you listed your gifts for your love ones? No worries because we're sharing some of the innovative gift hacks for you this Christmas season.

1. Online Shopping – easy, accessible, and hassle-free!

This is perhaps one of the interesting gift of technology because you don't actually have to go out of the house to shop anymore. Just fire up your laptop or smartphone to go online, and you’ll find tons of online shopping sites just waiting for you to add items to your cart. What are you waiting for? Search for the product you want to buy, and have it delivered straight to your doorstep. It’s definitely easy and convenient! Just make sure to purchase from reliable websites, and you’re good to go!

2. Hit the malls and be one with the holiday crowd.

Hit the sales of the malls. With prices dropping up to 50% off and buy-one-take-one deals popping everywhere, malls are the main go-to for holiday shoppers. If you’re willing to dive in with the crowd during this busy season, you can purchase great finds in various malls.

However, you have to be wise in managing your time when you choose to deal with the Christmas crowd. Prepare the list of items you want to buy, or names of people you want to shop for, to save your time. When visiting malls, you really have to stick to your list to avoid lavish spending.

3. Garage sales and Bazaars - a nifty way to get great steals!

A wise man once said, “One man’s garbage is another man’s treasure.” Well technically, it’s not really garbage - some items and clothes in garage sales are just barely used, and are actually still in perfectly good condition. With a little bit of cleaning and washing especially with a premium detergent’s superior cleaning formula, it can be worth way more than what you paid for.

Bazaars, on the other hand, can be handy as well. They sell a wide range of exciting things from clothes to socks, scarves, caps, shoes, accessories, and many more. There are a lot of bazaar set-ups lining up in malls once the “ber” months hit, so you’ll surely have no problem spotting one!

4. Go Treasure-hunting with Ukay-Ukay!

When it comes to hunting down unique finds, ukay-ukays or thrift shops are the most common go-to shopping spree spots for Filipinos. You can find fashionable and branded pieces here that can definitely work well as gifts! Nowadays, there are many bloggers and vloggers you can get inspiration from when it comes to styling clothes from thrift shops. You can simply watch their ukay hauls and vlogs to get an idea on where to get great finds and what pieces to match it with.

When buying from ukay-ukay stores, it’s important to make sure that the items you bought are clean and fresh before giving them away. Quality is of utmost importance, and it’s a good thing a little bit of laundry washing can go a long way. You can always use a great detergent like Ariel to wash away the stains - even those pesky invisible kulob stains! Those ukay-ukay steals should be clean, kulob-free, and in good shape.

5. Don’t have time to buy? No problem! Raid your closet.

There’s no excuse for not giving anyone a gift when you have pre-loved clothes and accessories living in your closet. Look for tops or pieces you’ve only worn once or never even used before that will be perfect for other people. This will not only let you save money, but it will also make room for new items in your closet! Say goodbye to your old clothes, and say hello to the new ones to come!

Of course by doing this, you need to make sure that the fashion items you’re giving away smell fresh and kulob-free! You might not notice, but there can be invisible stains lingering on your clothes that cause that awful kulob smell. There’s no need to worry though, as long as you get to wash them with a detergent that can go for deep and superior cleaning. Give it a shot with Ariel, with intensive cleaning that can remove even those invisible kulob stains with just one wash.

This can definitely turn your clothes from closet stuffing to an actual gift that looks brand new! Your friends and family won’t even notice, especially when the gift is finished off with a nice packaging then — Voilà! You have yourself the perfect well-thought of gift for your friends and loved ones!


Kulob is an awful smell that is common during the rainy season. Did you know that it is actually caused by invisible stains that cannot be removed by ordinary detergents? Kulob is a stain you can’t actually see, but you can definitely smell. It’s caused by ineffective cleaning of leftover dirt and sebum stains, and these stains go through the process of oxidation, leading to microorganism activity the gives out a rancid odor.

Thankfully, there’s a detergent that can effectively combat the awful smell of kulob — Ariel’s deep cleaning formulation, which intensively cleans clothes and washes off invisible kulob stains and malodor-causing bacteria.

Top 3 Reasons to Take Oral Care Seriously

10:39:00 PM

Mouth, is just one part of the body that needs to be given very much attention. A care that is highly recommended in order to keep the organ and connecting parts in good top shape. It needs to, as it is the part of the body that is responsible in some few things why it is healthy and strong.


The tongue, the gums and the teeth are members of the team mouth that takes different nutrients and energy into the body. It is also a part of the body that is included in the respiratory system  that keeps us breathing every day.



Speaking of gums, since our teeth are connected with the gums, I was able to listen to a topic presented during the event of Gumtect which tells horrific stories about uncared gums. It was indeed horrific that your entire teeth will become zombie looking or zombie look-a-like.



Here are the reasons I learned why we should take care of our gums.
  • Periodontitis or periodontal. If you like to loose your teeth or be a zombie look-a-like then don't brush your teeth and don't floss but if you love having a good looking teeth do the right thing. 
  • Bad breath and other bacteria in the mouth. Aside from gastric juices and food scent, swollen gums or gums with bacteria produces bad odor. I'm sure you don't want to have people running away from you when you talk. 
  • Tendency to have heart attack and other diseases. When gums started to swell and developed bacteria and if not treated fast this bacterias can stream with the blood flow to different parts of the body that may cause diseases, one of which is the heart attack. 
Now, these are just three (3) but serious reasons why we should have our gums, teeth and every parts of the mouth be taken care of properly.  An oral hygiene that we all need to do regularly.

photo is not mine but credit to its owner. posted for information purpose only. 
Gumtect, one of the oral care products that provides protection for our gums and teeth have two different variant that we can use. One is for sensitive teeth and one for gum care. Both are good shield against cavity and gum diseases.


Well, I think I have a strong teeth that can munch to almost anything but of course they need to be bite size.

SM City Fairview's New Take of Christmas Lighting Ceremony

12:53:00 PM

Early this November SM City Fairview unveiled and opened its door for their Christmas center piece with the theme: Hometown Holiday. Instead of the usual Christmas Tree lighting they take it differently by ringing the Town's Bell to signify its opening. The event was hosted by the beautiful Binibining Pilipinas Grand International 2016, Ms. Nicole Cordoves. The ceremony gave a spectacular show for the guests, viewers and mall goers.


SM Little Stars 2018 Grand Winner, Aleynah Redillas, graced the ceremony's presentation by playing the role as the little girl who has a magic snow globe that seems to teleport her to different towns whenever she shook it. It was a colorful and magical presentation.


Of course Christmas presentations definitely made a highlight with the presence of Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus that made every child present glazed in amazement and awe.



There were also other performances that made the program even more colorful and fun like the NU Chorale and the group of acrobats who put everyone almost off of their seats. And the performance that made the audience go wild was the performance of the boy band In Real Life. It was like a magnet that made the placed crowded.


The "lighting ceremony" (which is actually the ringing of the bell) was lead by the Pratts Family together with the executives of SM City Fairview that ends the program and begins the opening of their instagram-worthy Christmas center piece. To make a memorable holiday just visit their center piece at the Atrium area.


Glad to be there and share the news with you all!
