June 20 is National Wellness Day

Did you know that 9 of the 10 leading causes of death in the Philippines are health related? And did you also know that just by eating better, making small lifestyle changes and doing moderate activity on most days of the week, we can reduce the risk of many diseases and increase our quality of life?

The People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP) is advocating health and wellness in the workplace as one of the most important issues that companies need to address today. With this, PMAP will hold a nationwide event called National Wellness Day that  is envisioned to be participated by various companies in the country, both PMAP and non-PMAP members, on June 20, 2014.

Children of Multiple Intelligence

When speaking of “intelligence,” most people only think of academic aptitude, such as readiness towards schoolwork or getting high grades.
Thus, parents say their child is “smart” when he or she lands the top of their class.
But with the advent of ‘multiple intelligence’ – the simplistic definition of intelligence no longer holds. Now more people are realizing that true intelligence covers a broader spectrum of an individual’s capabilities.

A new context of ‘smart’

Look instantly younger and glowing with MYRA VITAGLOW BB CREAM!

Taking four to five years off your face in this 21st century is immediate and within our reach.
Yes, cosmetic miracles do exist and they are called BB Creams.
No need for you to go under the knife to roll back the years -- BB Creams "tricks" can be just as effective.
When I got an email regarding a full review of a cosmetic from a well-known brand, of course I hesitated at first but didn't stop me from the challenge.
Truly grateful!

"When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around."
-Willie Nelson

Truth to be told, accepting this package has turned my life around 180 degrees ( haha ) , hence a blessing in disguise.
Why?
I've been meaning to use a makeup and do a review but to no avail.
Especially after I have gotten older and had 3 children, I became "lazier".
Most days it's just loose powder for the oiliness.
The other reason, well, i was petrified to use one because sadly I keep hearing more and more about the dangerous toxins that are loaded in all those products and my skin is way too sensitive but this is one big achievement!
A first of many hopefully.

I'm beyond words really when i got this gift. Totally crushing over this gorgeous makeup leather pouch in hot fuschia pink with my name embossed on a golden plate.
They have included several make up brushes for my use plus 2 easy-squeeze tubes of Myra Vitaglow BB Creams In Ivory and Beige (20ml).

Any beauty expert knows that the real "trick" to any successful beauty regimen is to find a product that works for you and your lifestyle and these products from MYRA provide all that.
These radiance-boosting tubes are packed with multi-benefits for your skin that allow you to combine the prettifying power of skincare and makeup:

•    It’s moisturizing. This lightweight cream hydrates your skin to keep it soft and supple.
•    It contains Vitamin E. This helps nourish your skin even more, so your complexion appears younger-looking and healthy.
•    It doubles as foundation. The tinted formula comes in two shades: Ivory and Beige, to help you even out your skintone perfectly and hide pigmentations.
•    It contains skin-enhancing minerals. Staying late at the office? Use this unique BB cream to add a natural, glowing finish to your skin! You’ll love how the subtle, light-reflecting shimmers in this cream will make you look like you’ve got a lit-from-within glow.
•    You can use it as concealer. Just pat an extra layer of Myra VitaGlow BB Cream to camouflage dark spots and blemishes.
•    It’s also has sunscreen. The SPF15 in this easy to bring tube will protect you from harmful UV rays that causes premature aging.
•    It’s hypoallergenic. Girls with sensitive skin don’t need to worry about breakouts, because this dermatologist-tested cream is proven safe for daily use.
•    It's the most affordable! There's no need to hesitate when it comes to purchasing this product, since you can score instant glowing skin for only P99 a tube. Such a great beauty steal!

Myra Vitaglow BB Cream in Ivory 20ml 

 Myra Vitaglow BB Cream in Beige 20ml

For me, I think both shades are suitable for Asian women.
The beige is more on the deep pinkish side with a tad orange-y while the Ivory tone is more of my tone, with a slight tint of yellow.
So I opted for the Ivory and lived together in perfect harmony ( Did I just sing on my post? Forgive me).

 My no mekaup look. Literally no make up at all. 

Although at first I though this was a little dry compared to the other one that i'm currently using , this suits my skin perfectly. 

For those who has dry skin, use a BB Cream with a water-based dewy formula so it would easily even out the skin tone when applying. 

 I applied the Myra Vitaglow BB Cream in Ivory shade on half my face after shower so you could see if there is a bit difference after using it.

I really like the natural soft illuminating glow this product gives.
As I have said earlier, my face tends to look really oily and shiny with other the product but I didn't get that with this product (maybe because of my super oily skin ).
I did moisturize a bit on the chin part prior because it was the only part that is drier.
I love the lightness and the full coverage for my face.
Although there were silvery-dusty-thingy after you applied it (like you are one of the Cullen's, sparkling in the sun) I can still live with it.

 Tada! Instant glowing skin only by Myra Vitaglow BB Cream!

 Myra VitaGlow BB Cream takes the guesswork out of your skin and makeup routine by packing everything you need in one handy tube.
While all BB creams moisturize, Myra VitaGlow BB cream contains light-reflecting minerals that make your skin more luminous instantly.

Take it from Ana Victorino, local YouTube sensation and beauty video blogger.
"Myra VitaGlow is now my go-to BB cream," she said.
"I love the instant, glowing effect it gives my skin. With this in my beauty arsenal, I can create my 'no makeup' look in less than five minutes, too."

For the past two years, the Promil Pre-School i-Shine Talent Camp has been giving talented children around the country the chance to show their talents on the big stage.

READER’S DIGEST TRUSTED BRANDS AWARD 2014 : Recognizing a product that makes a difference

TRUST. Five letters that spell the difference between succeeding and building the legacy of a company. Much like any kind of relationship, trust is something that is not so easily achieved, yet has become invaluable in today's rapidly changing landscape.

There is no doubt that for business, trust is a form of currency.
It underpins the perceived value a brand enjoys.
If a product doesn't deliver what it promises, or what it has done on previous occasions, then there are many alternative products waiting to lure away its customers. But when a brand does deliver, consumers feel a sense of trust and are more likely to support it – and to continue buying it in the future.
