Men's Guilty Pleasure: Nivea For Men

Thursday, August 25, 2011


Men like it as it is. They don't like girlie stuff and the things HE use in the shower usually stays a secret. The usual suspects would probably be what "women use" but the best brand didn't stay complacent with what they have in the market.They released Nivea's men's line and oh boy; that was the time I lined up in the groceries/drug store for the best things they have. For a guy that spends an hour in the shower and a couple of minutes more looking at himself in the mirror I needed it so bad. My regimen always had to have their shower and shaving gel plus the balm that soothes my skin. It was addicting! I had to have more obviously. I was so glad to be invited to their event a few days ago to try out some of their best products that fight acne, oil, promote whitening and make us stay as good looking, younger, longer, better!


This testosterone filled event wasn't as easy as I thought it would be as you can see. We had to go through circuit training in the posh 360 Fitness Club in Makati. I tried as much as possible to stay in the sidelines and play possum. That didn't work, I tried lunges, lifts, push ups and the usual run of the mill workouts but in a very staggered pace. The games were so much fun so we didn't really think it was tiring. It was exciting!


They didn't leave us in the dark. They carefully explained to us the products that they have a I adored them all! It took me time to actually use them all since I live in a crazy schedule. There are different remedies for oily skin but for some its like an impossible battle to win. Their line gently fights the 8 major causes of oily skin and promises huge improvements in a few days. I tried it out myself just for those who doubt them while reading this article LOL and of course it delivered! My skin stayed as nice as it is, but now i worry less about developing oily skin later on the day. When i got home it didn't develop that sticky feeling that occurs when I don't get to visit the men's room that often. The moisturizer does what it's supposed to. It hydrates my skin without making it oily again in the long run. It makes me irresistible haha! :) o if I were you I'd get this one today!

I shave every two days and I need something that would be able to soothe my skin every time I do it. After I use their awesome shaving foam I immediately follow it up with the balm and moisturizer. Yes ladies and gentlemen, as much as I hate to admit it I have a kikay kit LOL! To keep my looks as clean as I want it to, spending time for grooming is quite important and this is something that I always make sure I have time for. Some people tell me I look younger than my real age because I take care of my skin. With the proper skin regimen this is really not hard to achieve. It's not too late guys, you can still fight the ravages of time and keep yourself looking stress free!


Thanks to the wonderful people from Nivea for hooking us up with everything good with Men's grooming. Btw, if you are looking for the best deo I currently am trying the Nivea Silver Protect and it works wonders. It looks like I can wear this for 48 hours but of course I need to shower twice or thrice a day! The scent is very musky and cold so it's VERY manly. You won't have to smell like powder or flowers anymore like other brands. :)




As for my other Nivea addictions, we're still going to keep that habit! :)


Capisce?!

The BUM COSPLAY Contest Launch!




COSPLAY has actually gone leaps and bounds in the Philippines; and true enough they live a lifestyle out of the ordinary. They have large groups willing to dress up to play the roles of their favorite anime character or video game hero. They go to big conferences and even host them on their own. That's how big this industry has become and it is seriously a niche that the Fashion industry should tap into. Lo and behold! BUM Equipment is starting it with a big contest to get their merchandise incorporated to the COSPLAY inspired looks! Not kidding!






COSPLAY? Or so I thought was the last thing that came into my mind when fashion is concerned, unless it's those mei dolls from Harajuku that is. But there were different takes on how to attack this particular method of incorporating that and the dark, emo, rock - chic it's been carrying around since its inception. Making a whole character out of it looks like very challenging too. I'm sure both fashionistas, stylists, designers, Cosplayers and photographers would need to work together to make that perfect character that BUM needs to represent their line. A grand fashion show also was slated to show some of the best entries backed up by some of the greatest cosplayers this country has ever produced. We saw some samples exhibited in the launch, they were all good interpretations I might say!




All entries must have that BUM factor that the brand is looking for. Costumes will also be submitted to them prior to the fashion show then returned after it. This your chance of making it in the industry and bag a brand new Nikon DSLR camera, phone, a Samsung digicam and goodies from BUM. Make sure you submit those photos now because the LIKE period runs from August 8, 2011 to October 30, 2011. Winners will be announced on October 31, 2011. They will all be included in the BUM Fashion Show slated in November. So guys and gals get those BUM shirts and apparel from your favorite stores nationwide and make that COSPLAY inspired outfits now!

Thank you so much to BUM's management that answered questions from the online community and media promptly. They have addressed quite a number of issues with the mechanics of the contest and I'm sure this will be successful! Their grand plan to take everyone to the DARKSIDE real soon has been revealed... so watch out for what's next from BUM!

Did I forget to mention? Dino Imperial and Empress Schuck was there too!

Food from the Best Restaurants Fast, Easy to Pay via GCASH!

Wednesday, August 24, 2011

A couple of friends and I were hungry one evening while I had the worst craving for Mexican burrito. Thing is, we don't know how we would be able to satisfy ourselves when the only available options to eat from was food delivery from run of the mill fastfood joints. I'm so tired of just plain burgers and I wanted something different. I want a homey meal, I want something else on the menu and I didn't have any payment options to use other than GCASH. Globe made life easier for me when they introduced something this week and boy it's the GOOD NEWS that I've been waiting for all my hungry life! This is the tie up everyone's waiting for!



Now Quick Delivery and Globe GCASH brings to you a partnership like no other. With around 200+ restaurants under their belt it is something that people like me who live a fast paced life need to nourish themselves when we need it. Paying now via Globe GCASH options is as easy as 123 in Quick Delivery. They made sure that it performs as good as cash when ordering via phone or online. We even tested it out in the launch that afternoon and got so many restaurants deliver their food while we had a talk in Makati. Estimated time of arrival was one hour but of course you know Quick Delivery, they got the food there in less time!




We got Sango Rice burgers and awesome cakes from Banapple so easy because of this service. It only took a few minutes for the verification text to arrive in our handsets and confirm our MPINS for security purposes! I love it! It's going to make our lives easier bar none!

It got there hot and fast! Now if you guys don't want cakes and rice burgers there are other ones on the menu you can choose from... and did I forget to mention 200+ restaurants more?

Life is easy, thanks to GCASH and Quick Delivery I got my Burrito fix this evening. I love Ristras and they got it here hot and fresh... FAST! The steak strips on them were also perfectly cooked medium just like what I wanted it to be. So the next time you need something from these stores, call the number 2121212 and pay via GCASH... it's that easy!


Now let me get my hands on this buritto! Haha! :)
