But the treatment I received, I can honestly say na it’s worth it, also ang daming food options sa Cardinal Santos!

LG Laundry Love For National Women’s Month

This event is now officially included sa list of my favorites blog events. Reason number 1, sobrang lapit sa akin ng venue! Reason number 2, I love the brand, specially their ref line. It’s my ref brand actually, the only ref brand I used ever since we started our family. Reason numerber 3, it’s a laundry event! We all have that love-hate relationship with laundry. It’s the launch of LG laundry love where it aims to encourage males to do the laundry as well.

OO nga naman, laundry is not just a woman’s job. Ang mga lalaki dapat naglalaba din at kung hindi nyo kaya, well, buy your misis a really nice washing machine like LG. That’s how it should be for me. Housework should not be gender related. It’s a responsibilty na dapat divide equally, same as providing for the family. Kung parehas na nag ta trabaho ang nanay at tatay, aba dapat lang na parehas din gumagawa sa gawing bahay ang Nanay at Tatay.

So yun na nga, if you can’t help your partners, buy her an LG. The innovative technologies designed for LG Home Appliances make chores, such as doing the laundry, easier to accomplish – and surprisingly pleasant – especially for men who are trying to do it right for the first time. LG’s line of smart appliances with features that offer powerful solutions for tasks often perceived as complicated, such as efficiently doing the laundry for clothes that are clean and even allergy-free.

To demonstrate that alpha-males, and even working dads can do it, motoring expert James Deakin, actor/model Eric ‘Eruption’ Tai, and PBA’s ‘Ironman’ LA Tenorio went onstage at the LG Laundry Love campaign launch to wash their family’s clothes. James, who is used to running at high speeds, used the LG Front Load washer with Turbo Wash technology, with a unique jet spray for excellent washing performance in less than an hour. Eric, who just had a baby with wife Rona, used the LG Top Load washer with its Baby Steam Care function that offers deep clean for baby clothes, along with Allergy Care that removes 99% of allergens to care for his newborn’s sensitive skin. For LA, who values his time off from his games, the LG Twin wash was a perfect match because it let him wash his just-used basketball jersey at the same time his children’s clothes. With all these convenient cleaning features and more that are available on the LG smart technology washing machines, it is easier to get the men of the family involved in doing the laundry.

During the Love Laundry campaign launch, LG managing director Inkwon Heo shared, “At LG, we believe in using technology to simplify life and to save time. Our washing machines are top-of-the-line products that are designed to make doing the laundry less complicated and more energy efficient. It is with our hope that the men of the household will see doing the family laundry less as a chore, but more as a way of showing support for their loved ones.” LG’s Laundry Love campaign also wants men to be able to feel that they can contribute to running the household. Through this, the traditional gender roles in the household will become a thing of the past, and with the children, the next generation growing up to see that their fathers are able to take on more responsibilities at home, it will be the norm, rather than the exception.

LG also opened its doors on the same day to the residents of Barangay Maybunga in Pasig to do their laundry at the LG office using the powerful washers. It is the company’s way of giving back to communities, with the aim of making clean laundry accessible, LG will be rolling out the mobile laundry van soon in the different barangays of Metro Manila.

Why Use a Humidifier At Home

The ideal humidity level in your home should be between thirty and fifty percent. Some locations are naturally less humid while others experience a drop during seasons such as winter and summer. You will notice that the humidity in your home is low if your skin is always dry and itchy. If the moisture level is lower than 30%, you should consider buying a humidifier.

A humidifier is an electronic appliance that keeps the ambient air in a home moist. It has a water container and a vaporizer that releases water vapor into the air. Humidifiers have a control that senses dryness in the air and turns itself on. There are many benefits of using a humidifier in your home. They include:

1) Keeps Your Skin Hydrated
The lack of moisture in a room causes the skin to tighten, dry out, itch, and crack. The dry air will cause moisture to evaporate from your skin. The skin on your hands is vulnerable to this because it has fewer oil glands. Your lips can also chap and crack when the air is dry since it has tender skin. Humidifiers infuse the air with moisture that helps your skin stay hydrated and supple.

2) Prevents Dry Throat and Sinuses
Your vocal cords can become scratchy and dry when exposed to indoor air that is low in moisture. The dryness also causes inflammation in your windpipe and voice box. Further, continuous exposure irritates your throat, which makes your voice hoarse. It is possible to lose your voice temporarily. With a humidifier, the air in your home will lubricate and soothe your throat since it is moist. Improved moisture level can also help reduce allergen and asthma symptoms, which are caused by dry sinuses.

3) Curb the Spread of Flu
Scientific research has shown that there is a relation between low humidity and the transmission influenza virus. Also, the flu virus can survive longer and can be spread easily in a dry environment. A humidity level of 40 perfect will deactivate virus particles making them less infectious. By using a humidifier in your home, you will create a setting that is less favorable for influenza to thrive.

4) Reduces Snoring
You may wonder why most members of your household snore when they sleep. If your home is low on humidity, the dry air can contribute to snoring. The snoring happens because insufficient moisture in the air causes nasal congestion and the throat to swells. When this happens, air movement through the nose becomes restricted which forces breathing through the mouth. You can improve the levels of humidity in your home with a humidifier that eases the dryness, and in turn, prevents snoring.

5) Improved Humidity Levels Protect Wooden Surfaces
Some wooden floor and furniture react negatively in an extremely dry ambiance. When wooden pieces become too dry, they are highly likely to crack and split. You can prevent your wooden item from breaking by improving the moisture in your home with a humidifier.
