Procter and Gamble e.Studyante Program Launch

There’s Pantene, Safeguard and Olay in the bathroom. There’s Joy on our sink.. there’s Ariel and downy on our laundry area and a Gillette on my husband’s toiletries. Then there’s Vicks on my bedside (there are times that I can’t sleep without Vicks hehe). These are all Procter and Gamble products that we buy very often. And I know most of you are buying P&G products too.. now what if I tell you that you can help give a child a laptop by buying specially marked P&G promo packs available nationwide.

Procter and Gamble, now on its 76th year, started out a program called e.Studyante. A partnership with Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) and Synergeia Foundation that aims to provide kids from selected schools with an XO Laptop from the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) Association.A laptop that is rugged, low power and specially designed to make learning more engaging and more fun for students.

The goal is simple: Give out 1,000,000 laptops in time for P&G’s 100th year.

And you can help… especially us moms..

We can help P&G’s goal of giving 1,000,000 laptops buy buying the P&G promo packs. Participating brands are Safeguard, Tide, Pampers, Downy, Ariel, Pantene, Head & Shoulders, Joy, Rejoice, Whisper, Olay, Gillette, Vicks and Ambi-Pur.

Procter and Gamble e.Studyante program was launched last December 2, 2011 in Tondo, Manila. Together with Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) and Synergeia Foundation they give out laptops to the students of Manuel L. Quezon Elementary School.

Chad Sotelo, P&G Country Manager explains why P&G chose to give laptops to students and how we all can help on this advocacy.

The students of Manuel L. Quezon Elementary School sing and interprets a song. The laptop was given to the students and each one of them received an email from no less than the President of the Philippines himself, President Noynoy Aquino. And while the kids were busy writing their reply to PNoy’s email, we proceeded to another room to have lunch and at the same time, the prescon was held.

After the lunch, we were back with the students as they sent their emails to PNoy. The launching ends with students giving out their thank you speech. And because the Pinay Mommies Community supports the P&G e.Studyante Program, the PMC members present during the event wrote on the wall to pledge our support to this program.

Avon Products From PMC 2nd Grand EB

still in line with the Pinay Mommies Community 2nd Grand EB..

Avon, the company of women also graced our event.. and to say we’re thankful is not enough. I am pretty sure all the moms who received a gift from Avon was glad and very happy with what they received. Avon sponsored 10 gift packs that contains the following:

That’s Skin So Soft, soft and sensual Whitening and firming hand and body lotion, Avon Advance Techniques straight and sleek smoothing creme, Avon Super Curlacious Mascara and Avon Ultra Rich Color White Gold (red karat) lipstick.

I was of the two moms who were given a bag for us to review.. and I am very thankful for this opportunity! I love Avon since time immemorial. All my brassieres are from Avon, some of my lipstick are form Avon as well as some of cosmetics. I love that their products are of high quality and yet very affordable and what I love most is I can pay it for a month!

Let’s start with the Avon Ultra Rich Color White Gold (red karat) lipstick.. since this one is not a moisture lipstick it’s very light on the lips. I love the color because it looks good on my lips.. as well as on my face 🙂

That’s me wearing proudly my PMC shirt and Avon Ultra Rich Color White Gold (red karat) lipstick and Avon Super Curlacious Mascara.. I know the effect of the mascara is not that visible here.. so here’s a clearer version of how my eyelashes were transformed using Avon Super Curlacious Mascara:

I do have an eyelashes (LOL) in fact it’s not short, it’s bit longer that how it seems, my only problem is I’m chinita and as you can see, my eyelids are not showing and because of that part of my eyelashes are not showing too. Using mascara is the only way to make my eyelashes appear and with Avon Super Curlacious Mascara, you can see the difference and how it made my eyes look better and brighter.

My liked the Skin So Soft, soft and sensual Whitening and firming hand and body lotion and asked for it, even before I tried it.. while I still have to try Avon Advance Techniques straight and sleek smoothing creme.

Unilab’s Skin Cravings

I have been wanting to make a blog post about this collection.. I first got this as a gift from Unilab for helping them spread the word about Unilab Ideas Positive. It was love at first ~~sight~~ smell. I have been planning to buy the complete set.. bu you know with so many thing happened to us and the kids, it was put off my priority list. Then came Pinay Mommies Community 2nd Grand EB, and Unilab was one of our sponsors, aside from the loot bags that they gave for each mom, Unilab also provided 5 items that were raffled off. OK, you know I am not lucky when it comes to raffle.. but being one of the top mommy blogger in PMC, I had the privilege to receive and review one of the items from Unilab.

This is what included on our bag. Skin Cravings Smooth Over Body Lotion (Strawberry Cream and Choc’ Mint Kisses) and Skin Cravings Scrub Me Pretty (Cranberry Yoghurt, Dewberry Yoghurt and Strawberry Yoghurt).

Let’s start with the Smooth Over Body Lotion collection, Strawberry Cream and Choc’ Mint Kisses. The first one that I got to try is Strawberry Cream. Given the fact that there is already a lot of lotions out in the market, there is only 2 reason why I would buy Skin Carvings over other lotion. The first one is the fact that it leaves mys kin very smooth and does not make feel greasy afterwards. The second one is, it leaves a very good and very delicious, I may add, smell on my skin. It really is yummy and the name Skin Cravings is very apt for it. My husband even commented how yummy I smell hahaha (so that’s enough reason for me to say goodbye to all the lotion I know).

Skin Cravings Smooth Over Body Lotion, Choc’ Mint Kisses smells really nice. It’s really hard fighting the temptation not to taste it haha. They did captured the smell of chocolate and mint. I tried this once and loved it for a while but the smell wears off and leaves a not so good smell on my skin. I guess chocolates are better on my stomach for me than applied on the skin. For now, I am sticking with Strawberry Cream.

Skin Cravings Scurb Me Pretty comes in 3 “flavors”, Cranberry Yoghurt, Dewberry Yoghurt and Strawberry Yoghurt. As you can see on the photo, each yoghurt, contains small beads of each flavor, the strawberry has pink-red beads, the blueberry has blue beads while cranberry has red. It also has small abrasive materials that definitely exfoliates the skin.

Currently I am using Strawberry Yoghurt and uses it 2-3 times a week. I love how it leaves my skin smelling good and very smooth. I also notices a great difference after each scrub:
