As children, the joy and excitement we feel during the Christmas season
can be encapsulated in one word: aguinaldo .

However, no matter how old we are, there is always a child within us who is
giddy with happiness when we receive an aguinaldo .

Affordable without sacrificing quality service and accommodation, this is what Go Hotels offers to its guests. It lets you pay only for the basic things you need when staying in a hotel.
I am in my 30's now and taking care of my skin is my top priority. I have to be candid that it is a real challenge to take care of my skin and how to stay young looking given that I live a fast-paced and sometimes stressful lifestyle. Often I no longer have time to take care of the small stuff. But I wanted to age gracefully just like my grandmother who at 79 still looks like she is in her 50s.
How Do I take care of my skin? Well, aside from religiously drinking my black coffee every morning and getting at least a few minutes of sunshine and hitting the gym once in a while. I also have to make sure I follow my day and night skincare routine. Honestly, though, I have a pretty simple skin care routine and one of my favorite skincare brands and I often use is Olay. I've been an Olay user ever since from body wash, soaps to face creams.
Dunkin' Donuts the donut brand that perhaps became an epitome of most '80s and 90's kid's childhood. I remember during my elementary days, that it used to be my father's "pasalubong" to us whenever he goes to the Metro not until the first Dunkin Donuts store opened on Iznart St, Iloilo during the early '90s.
I can vividly remember studying the munchkin bakers on the box each named after the munchkins. I really love those munchkin bakers hahaha

Premiere travel concept store The Travel Club is thrilled to announce the return of its highly-anticipated trade-in sale in Visayas . An annual event that encourages customers to exchange their old luggage for special discounts, this year’s trade-in sale, which is aptly titled “A Case for A Cause” will be presented in partnership with the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration, an attached agency of the Department of Labor and Employment.

Set to happen on September 12-15, 2019, the trade-in sale will be held at The Travel Club SM City Iloilo (Upper Ground Floor).
To take part in the event, interested participants must simply show up at the venue on any of the event dates with their trade-in item to claim a stub. Once a stub has been collected, a participant may proceed to shop and purchase an item. However, certain terms and conditions will apply during the event:

2. Customers who trade-in one (1) luggage are entitled to a discount on one (1) luggage.

7. Customers who are unable to choose an item from the product selection at the venue may exchange their sale number tags at the cashier for a 15% discount voucher with its own set of terms and conditions.
Nearly three decades since it first opened its doors, The Travel Club continues to carry an impressive range of top-of-the-line travel bags and luggage brands from all over the world.

Dirt, Pollution, Stress, Lack of Sleep can cause dullness and breakouts that is why regular facials that are done by trained professionals is really crucial as it helps maintain healthy skin. Some of you might say that facials are expensive, well, there are beauty clinics that are expensive but there are also that don't cost an arm and a leg but offers good quality service.

The country’s favorite young artist and model
Nadine Lustre is the new face of the Philippines’ leading mobile wallet, GCash.
The multi-awarded actress headlines GCash’s “What
Can’t You Do?” campaign to power the dreams of young adults who constantly
want to do more, to expand possibilities, and to achieve beyond their own
expectations.
“Nadine is the perfect fit for GCash because
she represents the true aspirations of young adults and is at that point in her
life where taking charge of your finances is becoming more important. She shows
how young adults can be independent and take charge of their own lives, and
with the help of GCash , “What Can’t You Do?” means so much more,” Chris
Manguera, Chief Marketing Officer at Mynt, which runs GCash, said.
After starting out as a singer in a pop band,
Lustre evolved to become a much-sought-after actress on TV, with her primetime
hits "On The Wings of Love" (2015) and
"Till I Met You" (2016).
The
25-year-old actress has fared as well on the big screen, winning the Best
Actress awards from Young Critics Circle, FAMAS Awards and the Gawad Urian
Awards in 2019 for hit movie , “Never Not
Love You.” Her latest film, “Indak,” a dance musical movie, shows Lustre’s
flexibility as an actress.
Early this year, one of world’s biggest fast
fashion brands, H&M, launched Lustre as its first Filipino ambassador. The
actress, named by a top magazine as Sexiest Woman in 2017, has her own line of
swimwear with H&M.
“She has built her brand and can create the
image of a lifestyle that everyone will want to follow. We hope for that to
happen with GCash as well,” Manguera said. “We also want to activate her big
fan base to help spread the word of financial inclusion and empowerment.”
Like Lustre , who has won over the entire
country and has kept everyone’s
attention throughout the years by relentlessly adapting to change, GCash
continues to evolve not just as digital platform but as a lifestyle brand.

I sometimes find myself flirting with the idea of going someplace far whenever anxiety or stress kicks in. Traveling heals and I often dream of traveling to another country where I can immerse myself in different cultures, traditions, learn different languages, try different foods and get lost. But of course, I can't always do that "out of the country escape" but I can always do that out of town escape hehehe
