Happy Socks Now In The Philippines

We've covered the launch of Happy Socks a few days ago at Staple and Perk Bakery in Makati. The Swedish brand is just starting to get its feet wet into the Philippine market as they have only been available in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Spain, France, Mexico, The Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, South Korea, Sweden, UK, USA, Japan, India, Hong Kong, China and Taiwan.

Two sisters shopped for it too much in Hong Kong and felt that they should bring the brand to Philippine shores after they got fed up of the boring socks choices in the saturated Philippine market. I should know too because I'm pretty fond of these things that I only got to source them in one or two stores locally. Happy Socks also makes this different too because their main goal is to make everyday items like socks, boxers, underpants into colorful things that could spread happiness. 

They also got us involved in spreading happiness too by enjoining us in #100HappyActs which is their cause that makes us attendees be like individual ambassadors of happiness through those small boxes you see on the left. Those boxes contain around 3 of their products which we had to give to different people to ultimately make them happy too. I already gave the baby tights to my favorite 2yo nephew who frequently visits me in the house. It fits him perfectly and the colors are just so bright that all my relatives fancied him even more when they saw him wearing it for the first time. There are actually two more socks left on the box that I plan to give to special people in my life. I'd like to share the happiness too you know.

The socks are very comfy too you know and it doesn't feel restricting at all. It was like freedom for the feet and I super love the available colors that they had. I was even drooling over the cases they had on display because I even wanted that for myself too, really really bad!

Now you don't have to go to other countries to get these sweet colorful socks, boxers, tights and other products from Happy Socks. They're available in all Urban Athletics stores nationwide, Urban Superior Store in Cebu, or www.dreamlablifestyle.com. This is definitely a necessity for every redefined man, I'd like to have more of this gawd!

Samsung Launches SE790C 34″ WQHD Curved Monitor in the Philippines

Okay, so Pacquiao lost that match with Floyd Mayweather. We got sad, really, really sad, but we sure had fun during the launch of Samsung's newest curved monitor the SE790C. They launched this during CES 2015 and Samsung just got us to experience it before we went inside the cinema for the MayPac fight. They have installed two games, one was for a race car driving simulator complete with an attached faux race car box using one monitor. This piece of beauty is 34 inches and holds a 21:9 ultra wide aspect ratio so you can see the whole stadium as if you're there.

Samsung executives described this as "Immersion" and adds "By providing angles you feel an immersion with your surroundings. You'll get a wider view and have reality served in front of your eyes. It's about the experience."

It's smaller than those curved TV screens, but of course, it's because this is a monitor and it's intended to be set in front of your face together with your tower/miniature PC. It was awesome to see the video become stretched like that, like it's real life, you can see things from an angle and that made everything like you're practically using 2 monitors without the borders in between. The video quality is also stunning.

Now imagine if you had this curved monitor doing a three monitor setup. You're going to get more space to see forms, artwork, graphic design, or even crazy games like these that give you stupendous views, like you're inside the cockpit without that much distortion. It's 3,440 x 1,440 pixels, so just imagine the amount of detail that you can still see in situations like these. The usual USB ports, HDMI ports are located at the back. Clean, simple, decent internal audio, all you need in a monitor today. There's also a 27 inch version of it, so you can choose. It retails around Php 44,000 for the 34 inch version. Please check out www.samsung.com for more details.

Watsons Celebrity Switch: Tessa Prieto Valdez

It was a fun afternoon to be with celebrities again at SM AURA Premier. Worldiwde health and beauty retail brand Watsons had another round of their Celebrity Switch activities today at their store. Social butterfly Ms. Tessa Prieto Valdez suited up for the occasion and got her hands immersed on how it feels to be a Watson's lady. She began asking customers to come inside the store so they would be able to discover themselves what really good things inside that can be used by your kids, kins, folks and family.

Ms. Tessa says "You get value for your money. I'm so into this wellness stuff and they've got things that are very affordable. They have promos on top of promos and real ones that doesn't fool the customers. This is fun because there are customers that I don't know, and I get to talk to them, get to tell them things that I loved inside the store. I convinced them to allow me wear accessories on top of this comfortable uniform, I thank them for that as well. 

For me, I really shop here and I do save a lot in Watsons. This has been my 5th year with them and I shop here a lot, I'm happy with that. It's because I discover things that you don't know until you get here. They don't have lashes yet so that's what I'm suggesting soon. They have glues though and this is a one stop shop, health and beauty should be affordable and Watsons has got them all, you should not waste money. I save by shopping in bulk. I still like designer clothes, I splurge in that, also my hats and accessories. I don't do alcohol or drugs, I save in where I can but if I need to spend I do. I don't forget to give to charities too, that's important. I think my favorite now is Watsons Generics, they have simple things and new ones that I discovered today like the malunggay capsules. It's really great!"

I also got the chance to shop around with  the Clingers and picked some of my favorites, plus a couple of new ones too. 

I use this on a regular basis so I can take care of my skin after every shave. This is Gillette's Cool Blue.

Pond's Men has some skin cleaning products plus the re-energizing toners so you won't look or feel tired every time you face the camera, artista?! LOL

I haven't used this yet but I think the Dove Men deep clean product would be perfect for polluted Manila, students should know how to use this regularly.

I love Bench scents, they're dirt cheap and if you're not too fuzzy about perfumes, this is your quick fix. It's also nice that you can find it in Watsons outlets nationwide.

The new things I found earlier were these Sunplay Sunblocks, Face Potion that can protect you from the harmful rays of the sun. Don't forget the Watsons Nose Pore Strips too so you can keep the T zone clean all the time!

There are more things inside the Watsons Store that are still waiting to be discovered. Have you visited them lately? Who knows, it could be Christian Bautista, Patty Laurel, Iya Villania or Ms. Tessa on the counter next time! :)
