ALEX GONZAGA On Being Shopee Princess

They dub her the new Shopee princess, and the face of Shopee's Payday Sale. She's Alex Gonzaga.

Her new TVC, and digital pronouncements must have been seen already by so many people and this time we got the chance to ask her questions during a small digital meet and greet.

She says "I'm very happy to be part of the Shopee family. This brand that Filipinos trust, even I shop there every night. I'm happy and honored, my family and friends want vouchers, but I told them to wait for akinse. I guess I really loved the dance sequences I had to do during the commercial. Honestly, I couldn't believe I'd be in a roster of ambassadors that Shopee has. The campaign also is so good, I love how it connects to Filipinos and tell them the time to shop, when sweldo time happens."

"Well, these days I buy if there are deals. My husband and I now buy for two people, he asks for masks and send me the link, I am the one who checks out. I recently bought a portable sauna, nothing has changed really, it's just an extra person sending me links. Admittedly, I am a shopaholic, I always had hand me downs and cry in the mall if I don't get new things. When I started earning, I now get the chance to buy stuff but my Mom still questions me as she manages my finances. Now, I don't have to go to malls like when I was in college. Next week, I'll be doing a locked in shooting for Tin Can and Ten17 for a new movie, and last year, I did one with my sister and Fifth Solomon (for MMFF last year) and of course Lunch Out Loud wherein Shopee is part of. On my vlogs, I'll be doing collaborations and cook with other vloggers so watch out for that. I love locked in tapings, and they're doing things in Lipa so I get to see my husband everyday still. He's been so supportive, every time I have things arranged in my movie."

"My budol find is the portable sauna, he didn't want me to have a steamer so he suggested to have this instead and buy me 10 if I needed it. Aside from that, I have 10 little black dresses which I buy from there. The tongue prank I did, I got that from the Shopee app. I just search and it appears! I'd buy stuff for Xevi, I buy things like the Titanic like boat which my Dad paid for. He spoils him in secret."

"Happy Cup at home is also in Shopee so if you're buying stuff, we're also there."

Congratulations Alex and Shopee! Hope we see you in future akinse promos!

Investing Through GInvest

 

You've been working hard for the money and save in the bank, but is that enough? Have you ever wondered how easy it was to invest these days? No? Well let me tell you about GInvest.

GInvest is the investment feature on your GCash app. If you're transferring funds or doing transactions with it, you probably have seen this option already. Now how easy is it to grow your money? Well, that depends. My rule of thumb in investing is putting in funds that I don't necessarily need immediately. Is it possible that you could lose money in investing? Yes of course, but in this case, GInvest has some professional fund managers that do the legwork for you. This means, in some ways, risk is lessened than compared with regular stock market work. You just have to have the funds for it. 

Registration is easy as it includes a verified email address and a risk assessment questionnaire. It basically tells your fund managers how aggressive or safe you want to invest your money. Doing subscriptions (buying stocks) can cost as low as Php 50. As in any investment, returns are not guaranteed but if your fund manager is doing a good job, you'll see your funds flourish. I kinda already have mutual fund investments via banks and they're the same people that manages GInvest. What's good is that in GInvest, they don't have transaction fees and it's easy to understand. Beginners who would want to dip their hands into investments can do it now without dishing out much money for it. But again, if you have more subscriptions and the investments do well, you'll get more out of it. In this day and age, putting your money on banks and letting it sit for years isn't actually the wisest decision you would ever make. If I have invested early on I could have had even more earnings now because so far, I'm doing quite good. As a matter of fact, I'm actually pretty happy about it and I plan to actually have more subscriptions in the days to come now that people would have interest in investing through GCash and GInvest. 

Oh and before I do forget, if you want to know more about GInvest, they'll be having an event tomorrow at 8PM. Just visit the GCash Facebook page and watch their livestream. You can learn how to invest even if you're just starting. Watch here if you're a little lazy LOL! https://fb.me/e/44yKPu274

I'll be there too so see you!

Protect Your Skin with Sunplay

It's so hot outside you could fry an egg on top of cars these days. Now wait a minute, wait a minute! Before you do forget things, what about your skin? You're indoors you say? Nope, that's not enough. Did you know that you are still getting harmful UVA/UVB rays? That reflection, that light seeping in your window (when all you wanted was a blackout curtain lol), that's still harmful for you and you're still getting it.

Now don't downplay these UV rays as it can actually cause more wrinkles and get it deep in your skin. I'm sure you've already been reminded by your folks, by your friends that you need to wear sunscreen. Products like Sunplay Skin Aqua UV Watery Gel and Sunplay Skin Aqua Sarafit Tinted Base has SPF50, PA+++ and blue light protection. You get what you need to get protected from the harmful things you can get from extreme harmful ultraviolet exposure. Aside from that, they're also affordable and even went the length of putting it on sale this May 10 to 16. You can get it 30% cheaper and even get Php 200 off on select Sunplay Skin Aqua and Sunblock products in Watsons branches nationwide.

If you fancy one of these things, start getting them on online stores like Lazada or Shoppe (which you can get here). Now honestly, you've got to start protecting yourself early, not when you're already burnt and have it irreversible. You know, we don't want to regret it.
