Pop Tops Australia's Favorite Kid's Juice Drink is now here at the Philippines

Filipino Moms exert effort on preparing their kids baon for school. It is the most special love that our kids can bring to the school and I know it is hard to decide and find the perfect healthy food choice that our kids will surely eat and enjoy. But nowadays, this combination can be challenging to find, especially in kid's beverages. So here I am again recommending my drink choice for your kids to bring. Introducing Pop Tops: Australia's Favorite Kids Juice Drink.

Harvey was excited seeing the bottles

The design of the bottle is perfect to attract kids but it is not just the package it is the whole Pop Tops including the juice itself. Each Pop Tops comes in a handy-lunch box sized 250ml serving, perfect for little tot's drinking needs, and for our moms to carry on our purse.

Pop Tops bottle fits perfectly to the tiny hands of my #LittleSamson Harvey, don't worry mommies our little ones can't make a mess because of it's small drinking spout compared to the ordinary bottles. Harvey is loving the pop-up cap design of this bottle it makes easier for him to drink and close the bottle. With the right serving size, we moms will have a peace of mind that our kids get the most nutrients they need in the amount that they want.

Asking where Pop Tops are made from? Pop Tops is made from real fruit juice, with 30 percent less sugar and less sodium, no artificial colors , flavors or sweeteners. Pop Tops juices are made in Australia, with the highest quality and safety standard that our children deserve.

There are only two flavors available at the market apple and orange flavors.

Orange Flavor Pop Tops

Pop Tops also introduced some colorful characters to add fun to our kid's drink. Led by Alfi Apple and Oli Orange. Aside from being a daily kid's beverage, Pop Tops is so attractive and engaging that it can be an ideal giveaway for birthday parties and other special occasions.

"Pop Tops was developed with health and safety in mind. It is not enough that each child is satisfied. They have to benefit from what they consume in the long run. Each drink they consume is an investment in their future health, and Pop Tops is the only kids beverage that delivers this in a way that children will love, " says director Neil Vincent Ching

"One of the main dilemmas parents have is persuading their children to eat or drink what they have prepared. Pop Tops priorities to make the beverage attractive and easy-to-use for your child, so that they can have all the nutrients in a drink they can enjoy. This makes life a lot easier for busy parents who want the best for their children," shares Atlas Global Advantage managing director Hans Nathan Ching.

Comparing to other drinks, Harvey is loving this drink and he already recognized the bottle itself on what flavor is on it. I can say that this drink is a good replacement for a squeezed juice that I'm sure that Harvey will enjoy. So try out this Pop Tops juice and find it at the following stalls and supermarkets Sm Snack Exchange, Rustans Supermarket, Robinsons Supermarket and SM Hypermarket nationwide.

Precision Meets Passion at Vivere Salon Glorietta with Mr. Alben Lawa

Rayrose Samson 9:04 AM

They all say that hair is the crowning glory of a woman that is why I am so honored to try out the expertise of one of the stylists from a well known salon Vivere Salon. Hair is the most precious part of a woman's body we do everything just to make it shiny and it helps us to look good.

My bleached hair and purple hair

If you're my avid reader you already read my post about a month ago that I decided to bleach my hair to achieve my dream hair color which was purple or violet. Here is the link on my post : Bleached Hair. Back then I only apply a semi permanent hair color that only last for days until a week.

From that day I said to myself that I will retain my bleached hair to try on different hair color trends do that I could make my own statement. Nevertheless, I do achieve that. But I got tired of redoing my hair color every two weeks. So again, I decided to stop coloring it and stick to this yellowish color. I do love my hair I constantly do home treatments and conditioned it almost every day to make it strong.

Luckily I was invited to try Vivere salon and to have a hair makeover. Vivere Glorietta 2 Branch interior is a mix of modern colors and patterns with a touch of Zen. A great combination of inspiration and balancing of moods of the customers as well as the staffs. All of their Senior Hair stylist embodied the salon principle "Precision Meets Passion" which on my own observation and experience this is where they are excellent.

My Glam Team : Sir Alben Lawa & Ate Mona

Vivere Salon promised that all of their stylists are the best, did you know that they are trained in the signature techniques of the Vidal Sasoon Academy, know for their easy to maintain, manage, wash and wear but an unbelievably stylish approach to cutting. Here, each snip and angle is designed to create shape, texture and form, based on what is most flattering for our client’s face shape, what is most ideal for their lifestyle, what is manageable for their beauty regimen and how it all works given their hair texture. To complement our cutting services, we also have a range of scientifically proven hair treatments from Schwarzkopf, designed to make everyday styling easier while ensuring the health of your hair.

My hair stylist was Mr. Alben Lawa, he is very accommodating and he picks a perfect color to my hair. A quick profile background of Mr. Alben Lawa, about an eight years on hair expertise and 2 years as a senior hair dresser in Vivere Salon.Whenever I go to a salon I always ask my hair stylist for his opinion on what hair style and color would actually make my face brighter and slimmer. As per Sir Alben, I told him that I believe in his expertise that he can do anything in my hair. So let's begin my hair transformation story.

So here is my untouched hair a combination of yellow, gold and black roots

The Ate Mona, attended to me and washed my hair to prep my hair for coloring.

After the first wash of my hair

The first step is to lighten up the root of my hair because it is already growing. Color mixture was on my hair for about 20 mins.

Ate Mona is applying color lightener to my roots

After the wash of my lightened hair

As I've said I let Mr. Alben to do what he thinks looks good on me. So here is the coloring, I wasn't able to take a pic of the mixture that they used to my hair, but it is a little bit pastel purple color.

Hair color is Redish Violet

This time color seats down for about 20 mins and they do my roots for another 15 mins. While waiting ate Mona give me some relaxing massage. To kill time and just to relax me.

Color red hair color on my hair

The lightning does not give it a justice but in personal it is a mix of color red and purple

Love the results, also Sir Alben treated my abused hair, to make it soft and for a long lasting hair colorful.

My overall experience in the Vivere Glorietta salon is awesome. They also took a photo of me because the outcome color is pigmented. Comparing my old hair style to my new one. It is more pigmented and vibrant. Curling my hair will also make it look good.

Before (left) After (right)

Here is my updated hair color after 6 days, which is so fab. It is not that loud red color, it compliments my skin even better making my skin more whiter. To my #DashingMomSquad , one thing I can say, staying out of your comfort zone means giving a chance for a better you.

I recommend you to try the services offered by Vivere Salon. All of their stylist are the BEST! If you are curious to try out their services especially Sir Alben Lawa at Vivere Glorietta Salon.

The instructions are just simple, you will be given a contain cardboard, where you can placed your chosen shape blocks, which you then pain with Boysen's latest line of color palettes. There were lots of colored shapes on triangle, circle, square and rectangle.

This is my starting shape blocks

As further you go inside, you will see a paint colors per station. I think each table are grouped by their new set of color lines. Here at the table you can customize and draw with the brushes and paints provided by the booth. Remember that this is a paint be careful on your hands and clothes while doing this activity.

I will attached my video on how I color blocks here. I'm not an artistic person but I tried my best to paint my blocks as colorful and artistic that it can be.

I'm a fan of different patterns and colors, that is why I go with this to design my blocks. During my time at the booth I noticed that lots of children enjoying the booth. They are all creative and imaginative wit their works. By the way I also saw not so old but maybe around 30-50 years old.

After finishing your painting, you can go to any of the employee and ask for help to blow dry your master piece, while waiting you can try out their Virtual Reality(VR) rendition of the booth and your surroundings. I've tried it and it is fun you can see lots of colors bending out perfectly.

It is by a company called Instaroid.

And they sure needed a break!"

Their first stop is at Providore Backyard, it is located at the rear of Raintree Group's Providore. A small place where you can enjoy cocktails and beers. The guest came in one by one. Some of the guests are, JJ Yulo known as @nekkidchef, Kalel Chan, Aids Tecson, Gabe Mercado, Him Uy de Baron, TJ Parpan, Paolo Abrera, Patrick Roa. Cocktails and Cozy outdoor place are just a perfect combination of friends to hangout. I'm sure that the guest enjoyed it!

Mr. JJ Yulo described there dinning experienced as "The food was, as expected, varied and delicious – and we even got to try some of their brand new items! Cold oysters to start the ball rolling, their solid new buffalo wings and Asian dumplings, a healthy-ish bacon filled spinach salad, excellent pastas (TE makes it fresh!) like their addictive new corn ravioli (a must, if you ask me), classic pizza flatbreads, a KILLER porkchop (this dinner’s sleeper hit!), garlicky clams and mussels, and a gigantic steak, all washed down with some red wine. It doesn't get manlier than that! And for dessert, a fun new deconstructed dessert --- dulce de leche apple pie. If you didn’t talk to anyone at the table because you were too busy stuffing your face, it would be perfectly understandable."

For me events like this is great way to show our gratitude and saying thank you to our Dad. Remember to always show how you love your Dad. It is not just a one day event, it should be everyday.

The gift of healthy ‘crowning glory’ fit for the queen this Mother’s Day

Rayrose Samson 11:54 PM

CLICHE it may be, but there’s indeed a woman behind the person we are today. And that’s no less than her—our mother. We used to call her nanay, inay, ‘nay, mama, mommy or simply mom. Needless to say, she deserves more than that given the pivotal role she fulfills in rearing us from childhood to adulthood and possibly for the rest of our lives.

There may be opposing beliefs whether that greater maternal instinct is biologically predetermined or socially imposed, but everyone would agree that a mother is hardwired to love and care about the whole family, especially the children, all the time. For better or worse, it’s always the welfare of everyone at home on top of her priority.

No wonder she’s an epitome of a doting human being that touches everybody’s life. So, it’s but right to honor and return all the favors she has done for us. And what a better way to do this than this Mother’s Day.

Still drooling over the ways on how to spend this time of the year again with her? Well, you may opt for the basics of gift-giving from simple trinkets to expensive items. But take note, your appreciation of her is not equated by the tag price of your present. It’s the thought that counts, as an adage says.

You may consider a set of hankies that will bring back the memory of her wiping out her tears of happiness upon knowing that she’s conceiving a li’l creature inside her womb. That’s you, of course. A loose yet comfy clothes shall make her remember that sort of a duster or preggy dress she wore in the laborious yet exciting “nine months” of gestation.

Why not a pillow that she could hug as tight as she embraced you after giving birth, or maybe a brassiere for protection of the very bosom she fed you with during infancy? A bed will bring to her mind your tot years when you started to crawl and roll over it freely.

Shoes are a girl’s best friend, too, like your mom. Either sky-high heels or flattering flats, there’s a pair to match every bit of her fantasy. For as long as it brings comfort to her feet, it's more than enough to reciprocate the ease you had when you took your first walk with her guidance back then. If it isn’t her thing, though, a flip-flop will cause her to think that she also disciplined you through the proverbial “rule of slipper” hit on your buttocks while you were growing up.

Much to her delight, a bling ring will be worthy of your dear investment to show your deep appreciation of her just like when she never failed to recognize you with a pat on the back for simple good deeds or a job well done in your lifetime.

Stuck for an idea yet? Here’s a simple but meaningful token of gratitude that for sure will make a big difference and, eventually, pull off a surprise for the celebrant herself: The NOVUHAIR 3-in-1 pack which includes the topical scalp lotion, herbal shampoo and conditioner. Yes, you read it right.

Still not convinced enough, why don’t you spray a liberal amount of NOVUHAIR topical scalp lotion onto your mom’s scalp and massage it for five to ten minutes. You may not even know that with such a plain gesture of yours, it can melt her heart as it reminds her of the past when she used to do the same thing while you were still young, either as a trick to put you easily on a slumber or merely a relief every time you got sick. Those caressing hands of yours, likewise, imbibe your act of giving back the “natural care from mothers” like her.

Whatever impression it may have on her, what’s tangible she could gain is that you’re giving her nature’s gift of health. NOVUHAIR Topical Scalp Lotion is so unique that it combines 19 natural herbs, essential oils and co-factor nutrients––all working synergistically to help address hair problems from growth to vanishing. This breakthrough product helps to rejuvenate, nourish and maintain the moist of her tress from root to tip, aids in stimulating the growth of her hair and helps prevent it from excessive falling, while improving the overall appearance.

More than anything else, NOVUHAIR 3-in-1 pack may be one of the most precious gifts that your mom could ever receive in her entire life. Well, she’s the most important woman in your life after all. Hence, she deserves to be treated like a queen with that vibrant, bouncy and shiny “crowning glory.”

NOVUHAIR 3-in-1 pack is beyond compare. So, don’t think twice to wrap it as your present for her this Mother’s Day and, if ever, for life.

Oppo from zero to HERO brings a stunning groufies with Oppo F3

Rayrose Samson 9:22 AM

Oppo is a fast rising cellphone provider now brings a new phone that will answer this generation problem on taking groufies! OPPO started the era of selfie beautification, and was the first brand to launch smartphones with 5MP and 16MP front cameras. OPPO was also the first brand to introduce the motorized rotating camera, the Ultra HD feature and the 5x Dual Camera Zoom technology. OPPO's Selfie Expert F series launched in 2016 drove a selfie trend in the smartphone industry. Global electronics brand OPPO walked the red carpet with the country’s hottest faces at the debut of the new F3 dual selfie camera phone at the Conrad Manila Grand Ballroom in Pasay City.

“Our latest addition to the F3 Series combines aesthetics with powerful hardware and software to elevate the smartphone experience into moments worth saving,” OPPO Philippines Brand Marketing Manager Stephen Cheng said. “The F3 promises to be a new trendsetter, and we’re really looking forward to see more picture-perfect selfies and groufies on social media.”

Hosted by TV host and volleyball star Gretchen Ho, the F3 launch brought together some of today’s sizzling personalities for a night of science and style. Singer-actress Sarah Geronimo opened the fashion show with a sensational performance, later joining actor and fellow brand ambassador Alden Richards to talk about what makes the F3 a must-have for lifestyle enthusiasts.

An A-list of celebrities and social media influencers including Jasmine Curtis-Smith, Ella Cruz, Robi Domingo, Joshua Garcia, Kris Bernal, Bea Binene, Jeron Teng, Rocco Nacino, Ruru Madrid, Derrick Monasterio, Max Collins, Apple David, Ronnie Alonte, and Carla Lizardo went on stage for the fashion show to give the crowd a glimpse of the phone’s good looks and functionality.

Live streaming by actress and TV host Alex Gonzaga also captured the star-studded night for OPPO fans on Facebook.

Smarter, Sleeker Design

Smartphones today are more than just accessories; they are a statement.

The OPPO F3 combines fashion and technology, featuring a dual front-facing camera encased in a polished unibody that exudes glamour and luxury.

The F3 is OPPO’s slimmest phone yet at only 7.3 millimeters, fitting easily in the pocket or a small bag. The delicate appearance still offers a secure grip around the phone to ensure comfort while taking selfies and groufies.

Enhancing the F3’s stunning appearance is the screen. Built using FHD In-cell technology, the 5.5-inch display maintains visibility and vividness even in full sunlight—perfect for outdoor snaps. Matching it with 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 5 with pre-applied protective coating further keeps the phone free from unsightly scratches.

The newest ‘Group Selfie Expert’ is slated to go on sale at OPPO concept and dealer stores nationwide starting May 13 for only P16,990. For more details, visit https://www.facebook.com/OPPOPH/ or log on to http://www.oppo.com/ph/index.html.
