Alice Dixson Swears By Wellgreens

The woman who captured the fancy of every young Filipino through a shampoo commercial in the 80's still looks absolutely gorgeous. She's Alice Dixson, and judging by the looks of it... she's still as pretty.

She's doing several shows including highly successful First Lady (sequel of First Yaya) together with Sanya Lopez and Gabby Concepcion and previous Legal Wives on the same network. But how does she look this good? Alice affirms it's her natural, healthy choices. 

She's a stern advocate of proper nutrition, diet, and help from WellGreens. This is Pascual Laboratories Inc.’s premium and certified organic natural food supplement. This year, their thrust has been to educate people about the benefits of taking food supplements that contain vitamins and nutrition needed by the body daily. They don't just get it from natural sources but also make it from certified organic companies like Leonie Agri Corp. that go through strict standards of farming, production and manufacturing of EU and USDA organic certification bodies. They (LAC) are also recognized for their Good Agricultural Practices by the Department of Agriculture. These WellGreens products such as Sinta, Lagundi-Cuban Oregano, Malunggay, Mangosteen-Malunggay and Ampalaya go through a stringent 13-step process. My personal choice is the Sinta as it is known as a herb that curbs type 2 diabetes which I have*. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that help manage certain inflammatory conditions*. This is also the reason why WellGreens is Alice Dixson’s healthy choice as she makes sure to incorporate preventive food supplements into her diet which she calls "self love".

According to Alice “I take Wellgreens so I can pursue more of my passions.  It complements my already healthy choices, it goes beyond natural and is certified organic and premium. It also keeps my blood sugar in check and is easily available in stores nationwide."

If you want to get these supplements, they are available in Mercury Drug Stores, Shopee and Lazada through Pascual Lab's official stores. Currently, they have buy one take one promos for some of these products so go get them now. For more information, check out their social channels and official website at pascuallab.com.

CROCS Opens Store at B7 Bonifacio High Street

The good looking guy just arrived at the new BGC branch of CROCS, our well loved footwear brand. It's been a while since we've covered an event physically and chances are, we're going to splurge a little bit since it's a great day to start summer festivities in Manila. Their call, is for you to tell your SUMMER STORY and this particular branch has all your unique Crocs Clogs in different colors and styles. The store is also huge you can roam around without bumping into anyone and the center is dedicated to a little treat we call JIBBITZ. They are charms you attach on the holes of your Crocs pairs and I loved every bit of it. I got myself a winter camo (Marble Clogs) colored pair and started picking 90's iconic symbols so I could personalize it.

They encourage this so as to make each pair unique and I love them about that. Loads of celebrities have also gone to the store including Crocs Ambassador AC Bonifacio, Patrick Quiroz, models and influencers from the metro. There are also installations outside the store where you can take photos of you, your friends or family. They are extra colorful too so if you're in the look for a pair, it's time to do it here!

Here's a little tour I made on the new store, enjoy!

Go catch a pair and see why people are loving their CROCS while telling their Summer Story!

Herlene Budol and Kit Thompson Fall in Love in Puregold Channel's "Ang Babae Sa Likod ng Face Mask"

Looks like Puregold is making another series on the Puregold Channel and we got to talk to the cast of "Ang Babae Sa Likod ng Face Mask". It's a romantic comedy series starring Harlene Hipon Budol and Kit Thompson. Together with them are Mickey Ferriols, VJ Mendoza, Hasna Cabral and villain Kiray Celis. Their first salvo was all about debt called GV Boys and it was a huge success, following up with a new story is certainly a lot exciting.


Ms. Ivy Piedad of Puregold says "It's surprising to see Puregold to have a new series, but during the pandemic we shared the sentiments of our customers because everyone was afraid to go out. We developed fun shows to get them entertained, give prizes, treating the public differently. Inside Puregold stores we lowered prices, but in YouTube we increased our audience simply because we want to connect combined with modern retail. In this new series, we hopefully warm your hearts, make them flutter, thank you to our cast, director and production who you will get to know more today. Thank you!"

Film maker, Producer and Director Chris Cahilig says "I'm excited to share the trailer later, this project has been in the works for quite a while now."

Director Victor Villanueva says "When this was presented to my by Direk Chris, I got interested because it's a guessing game with the characters. It adds a layer of mystery, with face masks, we all wanted to see who is behind it when we see people. We all want to give and receive love, Malta played by Herlene Budol, would fall in love in this good vibes series. I hope a lot of people enjoy it. The cast has always been so good so I want to see how it turns out when you've got this combination. It's light hearted, sweet, and thanks to Puregold for taking the initiative to have this uploaded online so people can enjoy. It encourages change, and them investing in stories is a good thing."

Herlene says "I am so happy because this is the first time I'm in a starring role. I didn't expect it to be this good, I really relate to the character because I'm not that fresh and use my mask often, I know a lot of people can relate. It's a bonus that my partner here is good looking, our closeup shots felt so good.This show is perfect for me, it really did bring out my confidence. When you're with people who support you, it's easy to do adlibs, do acting stints, memorizing scripts isn't really my forte but I really did tell them before hand. They helped me a lot."

Kit Thompson says "While watching the trailer, I got a little teary eyed. It's so fresh to see this, thanks to our director and producer, this looks so good on screen. Thanks to Puregold for making wonderful content. This is just a taste of what's to be seen, so imagine the whole series."

Kiray says "I like the color grading, the acting, the music, it gave the mood of the show. Their pairing here is phenomenal, and this shoot shows how people fall in love in this day and age where we would need to express ourselves even with just the eyes. This feeling is true during this pandemic. Actually this character is just me really. When you see them, "

Hasna says "It's endearing to see the trailer, they really look good on screen and our outfits really matched the story. I personally see how they look at each other, it's about magic, family, friendship, the definition of beauty and self worth. The work is collaborative, but when they throw lines, it is effective."

VJ Mendoza says "I didn't doubt that this will be a good story because when we were talking about it, it felt like a KDrama, and for sure, the youth will like this a lot. From color grading, the music, I am so proud to see this be made. I am so excited, this will be a riot!"

This will be 13 episodes and will run around 20 minute each. It's going to be worth your time so make sure you're subscribed to the Puregold Channel huh! Oh and Herlene divulged how she will be competing in beauty pageants soon. This is a way to connect with Puregold's patrons, to entertain them when they need it most.
