GLOBAL WELLNESS DAY PH

The worldwide celebration of GLOBAL WELLNESS DAY yesterday, June 11, 2016, from 7am to 11am at the 2nd Floor of FTX Fitness Exchange. The celebration was a huge success as people from different walks of life gathered and pledged to the aims of this advocacy, which are: To recognize the value of our lives, to pause and think, even if for just one day of the year,  to be free from the stress of everyday city life and bad habits, to make peace with ourselves, and to raise awareness about living well and increase motivation, not justfor today, but for the remaining 364 days of the year.

GWD   is   an   entirely   not-for-profit   day,   a   social   project   created   by volunteers dedicated to living well. The purpose of Global Wellness Day is to ask the question, even if for just one day, "How can I live a healthier and better life?", to direct the thoughts of both individuals and society towards “living well” and to raise awareness.  

Global Wellness Day was established in Turkey as the “first” day dedicated to living well, and has now been accepted world-wide.  It is officially celebrated on the second Saturday of June every year in 7   continents.  This year  it was celebrated in 83   countries   with   86 ambassadors thus reflecting its success. 

To  get   one   step   closer   towards   living   well,   let   our   manifesto   be   your starting point.   In order to make Wellness a lifestyle, Global Wellness Dayaims to adopt the following seven simple steps. What is important is not to implement all of the steps all at once, but to incorporate at least just a few ofthem into your daily life on a regular basis.

4- Eat organic foods.

    The first six are achievable but as a night owl, the last is definitely something I need to work on.

Bing Loyzaga's Journey with Marie France

It was my privilege to be a part of an intimate meet and greet with Bing Loyzaga especially because the event was an intimate interview with Bing. (All photos courtesy of Occasions of Joy ) Bing has had her share of ups and downs when it comes to her weight, especially being in an industry that constantly expects one to look good and be in great shape. So in her late 30s, she had liposuction done on her arms and legs. “When you see yourself in the mirror at home after the procedure, yes you're thin. But when I removed the bandages, I saw myself with cuts and bruises. That's when I cried and felt like I betrayed myself. Sinaktan ko ang sarili ko.” Her daughters Alyssa and Gabby were with her as she recovered, tending her wounds and changing her bandages. “After I had the procedure done, my daughters made me promise not to go under the knife again.” Unfortunately, she gained back the weight. To make matters worse, she was recently diagnosed with hypothyroi...

Bubbleman Dishwasher: Gentle on skin

Having a sensitive skin is such a pain. Ang hirap humanap ng products that would suit my skin. When I became a full-time housewife, doon ko nalaman kung gaano kahirap lalo na kapag hugas ako ng hugas ng mga pinagkainan. I had a hard time looking for a dishwasher that is both budget-friendly, effective sa pagtanggal ng mga dumi at sebo and skin-friendly. Last year, mga December ito. Ate Joy gave us 1 bottle to use. I'm amazed dahil hindi nangati yun skin ko sa hand after using it. Imagine, everytime ako maghuhugas ng pinggan, kailangan kong mag-gloves! So when I read sa label na it's gentle on skin, I tried using it without gloves just to prove kung gentle nga ba sya. Natuwa naman ako kasi hindi nag-react yun maarte kong skin after kong maghugas. At dahil natuwa ako ng todo, ginamit ko na din sya panlinis ng ref namin, mga surfaces ng kitchen area, mga tulo ng drinks ni Yuri sa floor. I like the fact na effective itong ipanlinis aside sa plates and utensils, pero pwede din ...
