Our clothing says a lot about us and helps us define who we are to our acquaintances, friends and people passing by.

A style all your own displays your personality. A style of pants that is sure to be like no other are pants handmade in Thailand like the thai fisherman pants at KhwanPants.com. These pants are also called Samurai pants. They have an embroidered waistband and embroidered ties at the ankles. The interior of the pants is a contrasting color or design from the exterior for an interesting contrast.

KHWAN PANTS: SAMURAI PANTS
Thai Khwan Samurai pants
Thai Khwan pants are made from 100% cotton and come in many different colors and plenty of fun prints so you can express yourself. Similar to harem pants or the droopy jeans style, Khwan pants are purposely made to be more comfortable in the crotch area. Different leg and waist styles in addition to choice of color and or patterns make it possible for each pair to showcase a personal choice. 

The numerous designs available are sure to please anyone looking to make a fashion statement. Skinny leg Khwan pants are tight to the knees for a modern look and others have a loose fit from waist to ankle. The loose fit and elastic waist make them great to wear for yoga or martial arts practice. A different style comes with hand embroidered pockets and ankles. There is even a style that comes only to the knee! These pants are a sure fashion statement.

WHERE TO FIND PAGEANT DRESSES FOR YOUR LITTLE MISS?

Do you dream of your little girl winning first place in a beauty pageant? Pageants are popular for both parents and children and are a great way to build self esteem and self confidence. Cash prizes and scholarships are another important plus for many participants. Here are a few tips for girls and their parents to prepare for the world of pageants.

PAGEANT DRESSES FOR YOUR LITTLE MISS


Start Early
A big part of scoring in a pageant is stage presence. Starting early gets little girls used to being on stage and comfortable in crowds. Baby and toddler pageants are less pressured than so-called “Glitz” pageants. They cost less to enter and no performance is required. A cute dress and a big smile are sometimes all that are needed to win these contests.

Go Local
Enter local pageants as a trial run to larger regional and national pageants. Entry fees will be much cheaper and rules will be more relaxed. Most local pageants are “Natural” pageants meaning no makeup is allowed. Dresses are simpler and less expensive than for Glitz pageants. This relieves parents of expenses like tanning, bronzing, hair pieces, flippers and costly custom made dresses. Shop girls pageant dresses at PageantDesigns.com to find a variety of readymade pageant dresses in a range of styles and prices for every budget.

Pageants can be a positive experience for parents and children and can help to build self esteem and self confidence. Just be sure that both you and your child are undertaking pageants as a positive life experience.

WHAT TO WEAR ON A NIGHT OUT IN A CASINO

A visit to the casino is always an exciting experience, whether it is to play here online casino sites such as Lucky Nugget, or land-based casinos. The fact that they offer visitors the opportunity to win money makes land-based casinos in particular, a fun venue for a night out. But, what on earth should you wear on a night out to a casino? 

Well, naturally it depends on the venue, some are more casual than others. However, if you are going on a casino destination holiday or celebrating an occasion in one of the more glamorous casinos, then why not have some fun and dress like a high-roller? The public perception of casinos tends to reflect that of their portrayal in movies and, in fact, this is the case in some casinos. Although some visitors prefer to go casual, it is decidedly more fun to get dressed up. 

Men can use the opportunity to dress up like their favourite character from Ocean's 11 and put on a smart suit for walking through that casino lobby. Favourite picks include this grey suit from Topman (you don't need to spend a fortune on a suit to look stylish). It is not only smart and slick, but trendy and cool too, making it perfect for the fashionable gambler. This navy suit from Reiss is also great for a casino. It is simple, but the fit and material will make you look like you know your stuff and are ready to win some money.

Women can also enjoy getting dressed up. If you want to go all out, you will find some fabulous full-length dresses on the high street at the moment, but if you want something more understated then a cocktail style dress is perfect. This maxi-dress from Reiss is perfect for a night out in a casino, particularly in warmer climates and this cocktail dress from Coast should definitely be on the wish list.

is a social enterprise. Rather than trying to maximize profits like most businesses, we aim to optimize them, considering what is best for our country and our people, especially the poor, in all our decisions.PRO-PHILIPPINES PRO-POOR PRO-ENVIRONMENT

With this humble advocacy who wouldn’t want to support an endeavor that gives back to the people and to Mother Nature. I’ve been a Human Heart Nature user for sometime now, not only that I’m convinced with this company’s cause, but also because their products are purely environment-friendly and that is something a consumer like me would go for.

Few of the ladies of Davao Bloggers got to attend Human Heart Nature’s Holiday 2012 Magalogue turnover, and I was given a chance to try three of their new products;

 

100% NATURAL SMOOTHING HAIR SERUM REVIEW
 
I can’t live a day without a hair cuticle coat on, if that happens, there’ll only be two occurrences, a tie-hair-all-day or a bad hair day, I often go for the former to avoid the latter. However, even with thorough blow-dry, baby hairs still pop out of my hair line –it’s a good indication though that my falling hairs are being replaced, but then again, they’re not pleasing to the eyes – this is when I often seek refuge to hair coats.

Unlike other brands that are sticky, heavy and greasy, Human Nature’s 100% Natural Smoothing Hair Serum is non-slimy, it’s light and watery, and you can even shake it. At first I thought it wouldn’t work like the one’s I used to buy at the grocery store – but I was wrong, it actually performs even more.

 
The serum is so light that it immediately followed my hand lines shortly after dispensing

I'm not really sure what my previous coat was made of, ingredients are hard to pronounce - they say it contains silicone that it coats the hair like plastic, while it smoothens the hair in the beginning it actually damages your precious locks in the long run.

Human Nature’s 100% Natural Smoothing Hair Serum is a breakthrough hair care innovation that is made of 100% natural ingredients like – sunflower, soybean and broccoli oil, it does not only shines your hair temporarily, it also makes it healthier and smoother from root to tip. The container is so convenient, so love it, a pea-size pump can cover a shoulder-lengthed hair already, hence economical and most of all its mildly-sweet scented. This is one awesome hair product you should try. 50ml is only P199.75 

 ALL NATURAL SPRAY SANITIZER - TROPICAL BURST
 
This is supposed to be a germ-killer, yes, the label says KILLS 99.9% OF GERMS, but when people just don’t read labels and mistook it for a body cologne, it would also perfectly do. It happened, ask my husband, hahaha.

This is the only sanitizer I know that smelled no alcohol, but instead it bursts a plethora of tropical fragrance you can even mistook it for a spray cologne. Love it much!

This is also available in Citrus Burst and Juicy Burst scents. 50 ml is only P64.75.

100% NATURAL CLEANSING BAR
 
I’m a real sucker of handmade soaps, I have quite a collection of all-fruit-vegetable soap and my latest was an oatmeal soap I rummaged at a bazaar on August, probably coffee soap by December, lol.

Anyway, I always thought organic soaps do not give you a good lather, because they’re devoid of these chemicals – these foaming agents that made them to, but with Human Nature’s 100% Natural Cleansing Bar, if you want lather, it’ll give you lather – that without drying and tightening your skin. I believe in what this product has to say – ‘100% no harmful chemicals.’ 50g is P59.75.

 
This line on their magalogue says it all … ‘Do the earth and your skin a favor! Each time you use our cleansing bar, you help make our environment a little greener and your skin a lot cleaner!’ So try it today.

This is the season of gift giving, why not give practical gifts that are not only environment-friendly but also supports our less fortunate brothers and sisters. Human Nature has gift packs ready for gift giving for as low as P99.00. Grab them today and be the most generous Santa by also helping others.

THE POLITICS OF UNIFORM

$
0
0
Your uniform says a lot about you. A uniform with a company logo and your name on it says that you work for a professional organization. If you are able to keep your uniform clean, it says that you and your employer care about the work that you do. Therefore, you should get your uniform from a company that can provide something that looks great and stays clean. 

 Lady Chef Coat
 Lady Chef Coat

The reason why you wear a uniform is to let customers know who you are and what you do. It makes it easier for a customer to determine who is bringing up their room service or who is going to be cleaning their room. It is a waste of customer time to accidentally ask a maid where the room service is or asking the maintenance guy when check-out is. 

Maintenance hotel uniforms at SharperUniforms.com allow employees to look and feel their best. When workers look good, they are more likely to feel good about themselves and their employer. When workers feel good, they are more productive and focused on their work. This helps customers stay safe, employers get more for their payroll dollar and workers stay on track for a possible promotion due to their production.

THE OFFICIAL FLOWER OF THE CITY OF DAVAO

THE OFFICIAL FLOWER OF THE CITY OF DAVAO, Waling-Waling
Waling-Waling (Vanda Sanderiana)

In August of 1999, then Davao City Mayor Ben de Guzman signed Proclamation No. 15, proclaiming Vanda Sanderiana or better known as Waling-Waling as the official flower of Davao City. 

Here’s a brief history of why Waling-Waling was declared as the official flower of the city. 
The Vanda Sanderiana or Waling-Waling as a symbol is endemic and reflects the character of the people and the place it represents. It is native to the Philippines (can only be found in the wilds of Davao, Cotabato and Zamboanga) and nowhere else in the world. 

The plant grows on tall diptherocarps but is never known to be a parasite. It lives on treetops reaching for light of the sun seemingly symbolizing the high aspirations of the people it symbolizes. The orchid plant plays a role in the legends, myths and tradition of the lumads. It has been subject of mytical stories, fiction and legend. One of the most popular fictions about the Waling-Waling is the story Beyond Space and Time by Jesus Manuel Torento. The story was included in the book Orieta: Tales and Legends of Asia, published by Hongkong Books in 1986. (Sourced from Puentespina Flowers)

Since then, it graced many publications, become cover features of countless magazines and papers and a subject of envy to many flower enthusiasts all over the world. Today it continue to bloom as magnificent as it was before, it truly is a perfect symbol of a city that blooms as splendid as ever.

Indeed Christmas in the Philippines starts in September, a generous Santa came today bringing in good cheer and a box of Revlon MoistureStay Lipcolor. This is supposed to be five but for some reasons the fifth tube went out of the box and I can't find it anymore.

REVLON MOISTURE STAY LIPCOLOR FROM DUTY FREE

Anway, this edition of Revlon MoistureStay Lipcolor that comes in 5 nude shade is only available in Duty Free Shops, I have no idea why but I have a clear idea that I’m happy I got a Revlon lippy today for free.

The other four shades and another free ColorStay lipstick that comes with this box were shared to gorgeous freeloaders anxiously waiting, hahaha. First come with serve and what was left for me was this 06 Toffee Shade, better than nothing at all, I should have run faster, lol.

I love how this baby is packed, so light and slender you can easily slip it in your purse without any hassle at all, the gold sleek casing made it even look so refined.

REVLON MOISTURE STAY LIPCOLOR FROM DUTY FREE

And this is the swatch, its deeply pigmented and that even with a light dab it can shade your lips true to its color. It’s enriched with vitamin C purposely to protect and hydrate, leaving your lips soft and moisturized all day. It’s mentholated so it gives your luscious lips that cool and tingling feeling, it disappears shortly after though.

So there, one happy earthling here, thank you Ayen for this early Christmas gift.

Through centuries of time, satchels and bags of fine leather that are easy to carry have been designed and crafted. Artisans dealing in leather and other durable fabrics have made these bags and carriers. Today, fashion accessory designers, manufacturers and globally-known brand names make business bags, satchels and other types of bags for men and women. The styles and popularity of various styles changes per season, but people need something practical to put items into for carrying between home and their work. Sales of functional fashion accessories remain high because they are always in demand and make excellent gifts. 

WELL CRAFTED DESIGNER LEATHER BAGS | GHURKA

Designers, name brands and manufacturers make satchels, backpacks and other bags available and advertise them through all forms of media and especially magazines and television. Celebrities use particular brands of fashion accessory bags and those brands become sought even more by the general public. Online, designers can advertise with an easy click here option that sends browsers to their convenient online store. Although the economy has highs and lows, people always need practical bags for taking their belongings to and from work or school. Men and women will continue to need to carry items between work and home into the future, and the fashion accessory industry will continue to have steady profit from well-made backpacks and bags.

TYPHOON PABLO ARTS AND CRAFTS, mystic beauty from the ruins

It was during their exhibit in one of the malls here in Davao City that I got the chance to see Pablo Crafts mystic pieces. I thought I should own one, but when I returned I was kind of sad as they've wrapped up their stall and I don't know where to find them anymore. 

Maybe fate really wants me to own a piece, when I went to do some errands in another mall downtown, I tripped on their painting display and I almost ruined it, Oh God, it’s a sign now is the time to get one. 

TYPHOON PABLO ARTS AND CRAFTS, mystic beauty from the ruins

I’m amazed by these two, both employ mixed media, each piece depicts dramatic, cryptic character and has the artist’s profound interpretation of that dreadful event. 

TYPHOON PABLO ARTS AND CRAFTS, mystic beauty from the ruins

Pablo Crafts are made by the people who were victims of the unforgettable Typhoon Pablo that hit the Northern Part of Davao Region in Dec. of 2012. Concerned government agencies have trained the victims on crafting stones and other livelihood possibilities coming from the rubbles of boulders, uprooted trees etc. left by the typhoon. 

It’s a creative way of helping them not only to economic recovery but as a healing therapy as well after leaving them and 48,000 others homeless and penniless. 

I decided to get the ‘garapon’; I thought it’s a heavy, mystique containment of my miseries. 

They also have these wooden case lampshades which I must say craftmanship was perfected, bags, paintings even chili powder.

The proceeds definitely are of big help to them. If you want to own a piece from Pablo Crafts, you can contact Christine of Andap ng Liwanag on this Mobile # 0910 7366 934

CREATING A WORKING WARDROBE

The image you present at work is key to how you are perceived, the respect you get, and your chances of climbing the corporate ladder. What you wear will send an instant message that will become indelible and identify you as part of a team. Although companies have become more open, and casual Fridays have become the norm, there are still rules that may make or break your best intentions.

CREATING A WORKING WARDROBE

When you set out to get that job, play it safe. First impressions are most lasting. Employers have told me that once a look turned them off, it didn’t matter what a candidate said. And when you get the job, most new jobs call for brand-new clothes. This should call for celebration, except when there is a budget to consider. The key to an inexpensive working wardrobe is to purchase a few staples that you can mix and match to create different looks. Yes Catalogues would help you find your best outfit. They provide the UK’s best catalogues for men, and women. The best thing is, the customers are allowed to open a credit account on all their catalogues and purchase the item on credit. Purchases £50 or more are interests free and with no advance payment. So, what are you waiting for, order your catalogue now.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO CHOWKING HALO-HALO?

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO CHOWKING HALO-HALO?
 WHATEVER HAPPENED TO CHOWKING HALO-HALO?

I'm an avid eater of Chowking Halo-Halo. Since the launch of this coolie years back I have devoured countless servings of this already. It was one of the best Halo-halo's I’ve ever tasted I must say. 

But I don’t know what went along those times I went exploring for some other halo-halo’s around, what I know was that the last time I ordered my glass came in heaping add-ons. I was real surprised the other night that my ever favorite halo-halo is now served with fewer sahog and less milk. I’m not sure if they run out of beans, langka etc, but whatever it is, I think Chowking have to revisit and reevaluate to this thing called consistency and quality in their product. 

It’s not worth now my penny mate!

Summer's end is quietly sneaking up, but that does not mean it has to end in a sleepy little lullaby; let it go out with a pop, boom, bang. There is no better way to say goodbye to summer than by hitting the clubs, walking the boardwalk, or finally going out on that long-wanted date, just one last time. The last few weeks of summer are meant to be celebrating memory-making nights, and every woman knows that a perfect night starts with the perfect dress. Or, not ready for summer to end, taking a tropical vacation? Don't forget to find that special dress to show off your inner goddess in. A mini dress means never having to say goodbye to hot nights or good times.

Mini dresses are a playful, flirty way to add sparkle to any night; a little chic, a little risque, tons of fun. Ever-pretty offers a wide variety of these coy little dresses. There are solids, patterns, silks, polyesters, one-shoulders, studded, rhinestones, and so much more to choose from. The color selections are enough to embellish the barest of closets; white, to midnight blue, to a deep purple peacock. Many of the dresses are perked up with jewels, ribbons, bows, sequins, and lace overlays. The styles run the gambit of strapless, butterfly-sleeve, v-neck, bat-wing, empire waist, and then some. To say the least, the selection is varied enough to find any woman the right look and fit. And don't forget, after the dress, there are accessories!

GT COSMETICS CARROT LOTION AND CARROT SOAP REVIEW

It was a friend who came from Cebu City that handed me a set of these GT Cosmetics products. It came with bleaching cream, moisturizing cream, whitening cream, a facial cleanser and two other soaps. But since I’m into another cream regimen I forego using the creams but tried on the Carrot Lotion and the soap instead. 

I’m not new to these products as I often see them prominently displayed at my frequented grocery store. In the beginning I really thought of carting off this Carrot Lotion but for some budgetary reason I often put it at the bottom of the list, until I was given this set. Seldom we can see lotions that are named after its main ingredient, and I must say it’s one of the reasons why I got charmed by this. 

We all know that carrot, yes I love munching raw carrot, has compelling component to benefit us humans. It contains beta-carotene that when used as an ingredient for lotions can be a very effective substance to reduce the risk of sunburn. GT Cosmetics Carrot Lotion came in 4 in 1 formula – whitening, moisturizing, body concealer and a 60 Sun Protection Factor (SPF). 

GT COSMETICS CARROT LOTION AND CARROT SOAP REVIEW

I always like personal care products that are packaged in squeezy bottles, they’re convenient to use and so as this lotion. I like that the expiry date is stamped conspicuously, this way customers wouldn’t be misled of the termination of the product. The bottle also prints the ingredients, the directions on how this product should be used and what it promised. It stamped the manufacturer's name and address so that in cases where you have complains you can easily reach them. 

GT COSMETICS CARROT LOTION AND CARROT SOAP REVIEW

The lotion comes in muted orangey-pink color. I love its subtle and mild sweet scent. The consistency of the product is just right and when applied it leaves a velvety feel that conceals skin aging imperfections leaving it smooth and toned. This bottle contains 100ml of healthy and natural carrot goodness. 

I highly recommend it. The next time you see this on the shelf, pick one and try it for yourself. 

GT COSMETICS CARROT LOTION AND CARROT SOAP REVIEW

As I’ve said earlier the package that was given to me comes with two other soaps, the papaya and the bleaching soap but I thought it would be a perfect pair if I’ll use the carrot soap with the lotion. So here trying the carrot soap out.

Again, what’s good about this product is that it laid down all the information a customer needs to know in the package - the ingredients, the precautions, when it was made and when it’ll be expired.

GT COSMETICS CARROT LOTION AND CARROT SOAP REVIEW

It also has a Halal seal meaning it guarantees that this product is lawfully allowed, legal, permissible to use under Islamic Law and that is passed test on genuineness, wholesomeness, cleanliness, best quality and is fit for human consumption.  

GT COSMETICS CARROT LOTION AND CARROT SOAP REVIEW

The soap is a pure herbal extract from Carrot and just like the lotion, it promised skin whitening and is anti-aging.

It has a mild sweet scent and does not leave your skin tensed but rather supple and smooth. It also lathers well so it can strip off dirt and other blemishes in the skin.The bar of 120g is just a right grip for the hand, not too big nor too small.

I tried it and I feel good using it, hence I recommend it.

BROWHAUS NOW THREADING AT ABREEZA DAVAO

I first heard of Browhaus from a friend. She told me once about her Serendra branch experience and was so overwhelmed by how the therapist had re-drawn and re-shaped her brows to make it look tamer and thicker. So when the buzz came in town that Browhaus will be threading soon here in Davao, I thought, wow, finally we’ll not be flying to Manila anymore to get our brows styled and polished. Sadly, I wasn’t able to come during the opening because of my day job. But the brow goddesses might have heard my prayers and thought - this woman needs some brow polishing and granted my earnest plea.


Browhaus in Davao is conveniently located at the third level of Abreeza Corporate Center in Bajada. I came in early so there weren’t any clients on board yet. The salon ambiance of sniper rifles and faux human targets hanging around just amused me. When I asked Monique, the Sales and Marketing Head of Browhaus why they came up with such a concept, she said it’s their head office that conceptualized the design symbolizing proficiency and precision of their service and hitting their sales target right on the dot here in Davao, clever creativity isn’t it?


I have tried having my brows threaded with other salons before and it felt kind of pinchy painful. But Monique was quick to assure me that with Browhaus it isn’t as painful and when in fact it’ll get done before I even knew it.

So then, I was introduced to Dana, my brow therapist. She’s a local and comes from Toril. You can tell her all your brow worries and she’d be more than willing to tell you what shape goes perfectly well with your facial contours. Dana has the lightest hands in the world, it's just as if she's not touching your temple at all, very skilled professional. Browhaus also uses sterile, specialized materials and tools, hence you can be sure of your safety and hygiene.

And this is where the action has taken place, this beauty seat is so comfortable, I so love it.


True enough, it wasn’t as painful as I thought it would be. It only took Dana close to 15 minutes to finish my ‘classic threading’ and lookie! Got a polished brow all done quick with precise professional touch and just the docile arch I wanted it to be.

This woman has been working doubly hard these days. Thought of abandoning my post as it gets tougher by the day, but thinking about how others are having the hardest time of their life, I felt I don’t own any right to complain and just leave them hanging in the air.

So as a result of countless sleepless nights writing, revising and briefing, some uninvited guests came out big and heck, they’re all over…my face. As much as circumstance would allow, I really make it a point to sleep at the most 7 hours a day, I just have to realistic as getting the coveted 8 is beyond possibility given all these tasks at hand. 

I’ve learned this kitchen remedy from my aunt; in fact, she used calamansi back then to cure her breakouts. But a lot of my reads suggests that lemon also has same potency, stronger in fact than calamansi.

So all you have to do is to slice the lemon crosswise and add in a moderate amount of honey in a little bowl. If you don’t like the lemon skin touching your cheek, you can squeeze in the lemon juice and use your finger to mix the lemon juice and the honey together, then dab the mixture to your puss. It might sting a bit - that’s because of the acid of the lemon but that’s exactly the sting that kills the bacteria, so just hang on and curse. The honey works as a natural moisturizer, so don’t miss that out. Do this at least minutes before taking a bath and maybe until the pimples are gone.

The rest you can use to rub on your elbows, feet, especially  your heels and oh, by the way lemons have the highest potency to skin whitening and take note, they’re super natural.

So try it, it’ll just take a little of your time, it’s cheap and it’s the safest, just be sure to keep it off your eye.

GT COSMETICS FOUNDER FEATURED IN ABS-CBN TV PROGRAM, “MY PUHUNAN”
Leonora B. Salvane,
GT Cosmetics founder
ABS-CBN’S current affairs TV program “My Puhunan” will bring to the fore the success story of self-made Cebuana entrepreneur and GT Cosmetics founder Leonora B. Salvane on Sept. 25 (Wednesday) starting at 4:15 pm. 

Salvane, in this particular program episode, tells broadcast journalist and “My Puhunan” host Karen Davila about the transformation of her soap-making business into what is now a burgeoning GT Cosmetics Manufacturing company. 

Salvane’s story began with an answered prayer in 1994 in the northern town of Liloan, Cebu. With a P500 capital, Salvane began making bars of papaya and carrot soaps in her kitchen, using only baking pans for molds. The soap making then became a family activity as her children joined her in the packaging of the finished products. 

From a daily production output of 50 soaps with only four workers, GT Cosmetics now has two manufacturing plants in Cebu and Bulacan with a total of 334 people in their employ and produces 25,000 of each product line, including the bleaching soap, moisturizing and bleaching creams, sunblock, clarifying toner, and carrot lotion. 

 In the motivational “My Puhunan” program, Salvane shows her philanthrophic nature as she helps out an aspiring but held back family from Antipolo by providing them not just a substantial amount of capital but a complete package of tools and equipment as well, including the molds and ingredients, enough to get them by soapmaking business. 

Salvane, who acknowledges the Almighty’s hand in all her endeavors by branding her skin-care products GT – or God’s Talent, said she was just doing the Lord’s work.

“There’s a reason for whatever’s happening to us,” Salvane said. “We’ve come this far in our business surely because of Divine Providence. Actually, she didn’t have to thank me for that. I was just the instrument of the Lord’s blessing.” 

 “My Puhunan,” which is according to ABS-CBN aimed at helping ordinary Filipinos jumpstart their own businesses, is aired every Wednesday starting 4:15 pm on Channel 3 in Cebu.
