A Decade of UNIQLO in the Philippines

Had so much fun yesterday at the UNIQLO Flagship store in Glorietta 5 in Makati City. Press, Vloggers, Bloggers and Influencers were treated to first dibs on how they celebrate 10 successful years in the Philippines. While we were there, I was one of the few people who got to join games as they asked hints of the new collection they're releasing to commemorate the occasion.

Their thrust is having a UT collection that's ICONIC. They collaborated with brands that have been in the lives of Filipinos, because of course, they are LIFEWEAR. They then announced that the THE BRANDS UT PILIPINAS include JOLLIBEE, SAN MIGUEL BEER, NATIONAL BOOKSTORE and SELECTA. Much of them had the official logos of these brands, Jollibee had the bee logo in the front left side, San Miguel Beer had the San Miguel Pale Pilsen label on the black shirts. The one for National Bookstore had pockets with the classic red and white stripes design of the old National Bookstore logo. Then Selecta was a bit more colorful putting the actual Selecta trike with words TENENENN a couple times, a thing that these machines play when they're out on the streets and getting kids sweet treats these days! Which one takes your fancy?

Thanks to Myke Soon of MixofEverythingLifestyleBlog for the shots!

They are also doing a lot of promos using the Uniqlo app so make sure you download that as well. They have showed me a few CSR projects they do with re-used fabric from cuts made on alterations of jeans in the store. They sell them to local women who sew and buy the product back as bags, they were awesome looking! So really, there's no waste happening with this clothing brand.

Thank you to the good people from UNIQLO whom we were able to spend our afternoon with. I like the new UT shirts you came out with as you celebrate 10 years in the country, that's no small feat! Congratulations!

REDOXON Now in the Philippines

The restrictions might have changed over the months in the country but that doesn't mean we have to be complacent in or out of our homes. Good news is, there's REDOXON now in the Philippines. I used to see this in other ASEAN countries but never here because there's popular one is Berocca. Little did we know, it came from the same company and they actually have different uses for it. Berocca is for mental and physical performance whilst this one is more on supporting your body's immune system. This has got Vitamins A, B6, B12, C and D. It also has Zinc, Iron, Copper and Selenium. They've been in the business since 1934 and if you lasted that long, you're probably good at it right?

Miss World Megan Young and Model/Actor Mikael Daez was also there in the event, telling us stories about their lifestyle choices. Even if they're in the best shape of their lives, they too come to a point where they don't get motivated to work out or eat healthy. They need something to keep them protected and not get sick and they're glad that REDOXON came at the right time. They also showcased (with Chef Edward Bugia) how to make Avocado Toast, as they're fond of learning healthy recipes that they pair with working out, plus if they feel a little under the weather it gets them back on track and get better.

Dr. Leah Manio explained to us what Cholecalciferol means and says "It's a fancy word that only means Vitamin D3, much like the one you get when your skin is exposed to sunlight. You need this to absorb calcium in your body, and you can get this in fish oil and eggs (though you would need a lot to get needed amount)."

This is part of Redoxon's worldwide efforts to address immuno threats which is timely as we're still fighting a huge threat in health. Their call is to have this be a habit, possibly take every morning before starting your day. Redoxon helps strengthen your immunity, keep you and your loved ones protected too.

These Guys Did Good on the Challenges #AXEDares

I've had the opportunity to get this package from AXE which contains some of my personal favorite fragrances, but wasn't really sure about one of the contents which was a Linya Linya made AXE DARES challenge cards... it had something written on it. You know AXE has always given men the confidence right? The cards indicated several steps how to conquer your fears, how to break down walls, pretty amazing stuff... but to tell you honestly, I wasn't ready to do some of the challenges because I'm too shy to even try. I kinda am in my comfort zone.

These guys on the other hand stepped up to the plate and did it. Vlogger guy Benedict Cua did the 50 squats, I would have fainted if I did that (I kid) but he breezed through that task without a hitch and made sure to be armed with AXE Gold Temptation as it protects him from body odor while he sweats. Model Marc David on the other hand took the Art for Heart's Sake challenge and put his creative hat on by painting a cute cat for his loved one. I mean, how would anyone resist that, especially if he's got AXE Black to protect him from the heat while making the piece. Renz David on the other hand tried Conquering Walls and Fears of Meeting the Parents... in the hot humid Singapore weather, he protected himself with #FragranceThatProtects AXE Ice Chill. So even if he was sweating profusely because he was nervous and had to walk under the hot sun, he was confident he could do it because he smelled good with AXE before it happened. Now how I wish I could do that no?

If you want that to happen with you, it's time to buy AXE in Lazada or Shopee as they've got it 50% OFF so there's really no time to waste, get them today HERE! I personally recommend the Black or Ice Chill because that's what I use!
