URATEX Breaks Guinness World Record on their 55th Anniversary!

Well loved local and international sleep brand Uratex just a Guinness World Record for the longest and largest Human Mattress Domino. This feat has been initially set by folks from Brazil way back 2019 wherein 2,019 individuals did it. Uratex is celebrating their 55th Anniversary and what better way to do that but by breaking a world record, and so it begins at the SMX Convention Center.

This was attempted and verified on October 22, 2023. The Uratex Philippines President and CEO Ms. Naty Cheng was there together with over 2,355 people holding up the same number of Single Mattresses measuring 36 x 75 inches each to form the longest human mattress dominoes. Guinness World Record representative Mai McMillan from Japan assessed the feat if they get to break the record in 20 minutes and so they did.

They also did a huge surprise for attendees when they brought out the "A Very Good Girl" star Kathryn Bernardo. We all love her, and being here surely gave world record breakers extra encouragement to do the feat, and the confirmation says it all.

The Guinness World Record attempt was dedicated to the 4,000 Uratex employees and volunteers who helped pave the way to do this. They got the certificate right after and it was accepted by DJ Bigboy Cheng. The mattresses will not go to wasted as they will all be donated to over 55 local charities especially those who are in need of beds to house the homeless, seniors, the differently abled and kids which is a worthy cause to support for their 55th anniversary. Congratulations to everyone who made this attempt a successful one and helped put mattresses on beds, but also brought pride and honor to the Philippines as we hold this record for the world to see.

Change the Look of Your Home with these Shopee 12.12 Big Christmas Sale Finds!

I've always been doing DIY wand crafting stuff to change the look of my room. Needless to say, the gray and white walls that I have was pretty plain, classy (of course), but I felt that it needed to get spruced up especially since it's been my background for many days over Zoom meetings and press conferences. We look silly in those virtual backgrounds so I went ahead and checked out Shopee to see what I could find.

Shopee's got everything and if you're raring to spruce up the look of your home, there are things that you can purchase in the app that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. 

Now I've seen this vendor idawallpaper.ph on the Shopee app and saw they'e got 3D Vinyl Wallpaper Foam Bricks that's both waterproof and has got lots of texture. It fits my monochrome theme in the room and would provide a different look for the walls I have in here. I was thinking to have this as a feature wall so it wouldn't look like I'm just in a plain wall when seen on meetings. Aside from that, this doesn't look cheap and it is very affordable (at 15 to 68 pesos a piece). I've also seen that they're doing a BIG MIDNIGHT SALE on the Shopee 12.12 Big Christmas Sale event, so I might actually be better off just putting this on my cart and check out 12am on that date. If I get a lot of it, I'll save a bunch without having to permanently having it as a fixture on the wall or harming the actual paint in it. It stays with an adhesive which would be apt for the time I'll have it there. I bet this would also soften sound coming from outside when I'm recording inside my room (perfect for unboxing videos!). 

You may purchase it here https://shp.ee/atnrc75 or get the Hexagonal Mirror Acrylic Wall Sticker so you have accents on it. You may get that here https://shp.ee/2s9psf5 and I hope I have given you enough suggestions so you can start doing great things for your room today.

 But again, I think it would be better to just put them in your cart for the meantime and check out on 12.12 around 12am - 2am because there are tons of vouchers you can use for FREE Shipping and discounts too. Go download it today on the App Store and Google Play so you can add them on your cart now and conveniently check out on the day itself. I'm doing that right now!

 

Things You Can Do At Home To Relieve Stress

I know how stressful it is these days, because honestly, I've gone through it. It wasn't because work was done at home, but more so because of the uncertainty of the times... it just made me anxious in the general part of it. I know there are tons of people out there that are feeling the same, and social media wasn't really much of help because it became a lot crowded when people became stuck at home.

So aside from the pandemic, we're dealing with stress... and that ain't a healthy combination. We really haven't dealt with it 100 percent, but what do you do when it happens? When you feel the world is against you? I'm suggesting you do a few things that helped me during these times.

Learn a new skill

Nope, it's not like you want to drown yourself with more stress of work. It's like, learning a new thing. In my case, it was editing videos and learning a new programming language like Python. I'm a geek, so I kinda go into like a mush when doing something that I've never done before. For you it could be cooking, a new business, something that you could showcase yourself later on, make it beneficial. Imagine what your resume would like if you knew a lot of things, I didn't even have to go to a University to learn that, YouTube was enough. There are also a lot of other resources on the internet that need to be consumed. Just wear those blue light protecting glasses so your eyes won't get tired or dry.

Listen to Music

I've had sleepless nights, and I know a lot of people do too because they still react to my Facebook posts at 3am. Music was a savior especially those in special playlists that I curate or simply search for on social media. Aside from that, I've learned the healing wonders of ambient renders like rainy evenings in New York, Los Angeles, Japan, Moscow, or simply white noise on YouTube that got me to sleep quite fast. I thought it was just mumbo jumbo, but really... it did wonders because I could sleep in minutes.

Take Long Hot Showers

I've had the notion that hot showers were really not a good thing especially in a tropical country like the Philippines. If you have heater installed or maybe have a tub, make your bath experiences special by taking out the scented candles given to you as gifts two years ago (nah I'm joking haha), some tea lights, flowers, spread it around your bathroom, and just soak in it. If it's a shower, and you have hot water, just let it flow on you for a few minutes (don't land it on your scalp you might get panot haha). Take out the loofah, sponge, or scrub and make sure the soap you use is equally relaxing. There's a new one called Safeguard Detox. Like you, we're used to the germ free action that their soap has. This one is for deep cleansing of the pores, and to strip away bacteria, germs, dirt overall.

They're available in varieties such as Pomegranate and Bamboo Charcoal. It's also available at online stores like Shopee and Lazada. You can try the Safeguard Detox Foaming Body Wash Pomegranate here https://shp.ee/hfcweqf or the soap here https://shp.ee/umtyiif. Try the other variants and lather it on your skin. It's simple things like these that can take your mind off things. Loving yourself isn't something you should be guilty of. Just the health benefits of it alone, is good. Don't even shortchange the one working hard for the money. https://shp.ee/umtyiifhttps://shp.ee/umtyiif

Stay at home, take a shower (especially for those who haven't taken a bath for days lol)... but not stress okay?! :)
