Downy Parfum Collection Happiness

The newest from Downy Parfum Collection:

This is the fourth from their collection..saw this at Robinson’s Galleria the other day, sakto naman kase naubos na ang supply ko ng Downy at sandamakmak pa ang labahin ko.

I don’t know if you can mix this with the others, but this one is a scent switcher, rub your clothes to get a different scent (pagkatapos ko maglaba, update ko kayo)

Have you tried mixing the Downy Parfum Collection? We did! And the best mix for us was the Mystique + Innocence..do not try mixing Innocence and Passsion> no good! According the lady in black in the photo, it’s the Mystique that makes the mixing work, kaya pag wala ang Mystique, hindi ganun kaganda ang amoy 🙂

Of all the three (Passion, Mystique and Innocence), my favorite scent is Innocence, but for those who love Mystique there’s a promo at Rob Galleria:

Buy 1 Get 1 at 50% OFF 🙂

Sino na naka try mag mix ng Downy Parfum Collection? What’s your favorite scent/ mix?

Design students contribute to building thoughtful homes

Mga inay, paki define nga ang pahinga.. nawawala na yan sa bokabularyo ko haha mabuti na lang some of my “partners” here are making my life easier, like my Electrolux Dynamica vacuum cleaner and my Electrolux Water Heater.. bago ko makalimutan ha, I am giving away Electrolux Easy Bread Toasting, syempre naman gusto ko din mapadali ang buhay nyo 🙂

Electroluc Automatic Washing Machine na lang kjulang sa bahay ko, eh solve na ko haha

Electrolux is not stopping from making our life easier and realize that our home appliances can take care of all our chore.. so here’s something from our PR friends:

As you let out a weary sigh, you realize that your home appliances can take care of all these. You see the MAB cleaner scanning your house and deploying its flying mini-robots to the areas in need of cleaning. Meanwhile, an Atonium 3D Food Printer has determined your nutritional needs and is working on a healthy meal for you. At the same time, the Breathing Wall started to purify the air while recreating an environment that will help you relive a happy memory. Imagine this futuristic scenario made possible by you.

This advanced home is the brainchild of the top three winners at last year’s Electrolux Design Lab competition.

The futuristic MAB cleaner scans the environment and deploys nano robots to clean dirty surfaces.

P&G Introduces Joy With A Touch Of Olay

Ito na mga mudra! Ang pinakamasaya, kwela at bonggang event na na attendan ko this year (kala mo naman ang dami ko ng napuntahang events this year haha).

Don’t get me wrong OK, some of the events I attended this year was really great but what made this one the best so far is the experience I had during the event and of course the company that I was with. The event was the press launch of P&G’s newest product: Joy with a touch of Olay. The agency handling the product is one of my favorite PR agencies so I was really expecting that the event will be a fun one. What I didn’t know was, the event will also be attended by my mommy blogger friends..kaya ayan instant reunion! (salamat Moe and company!)

The bonggahan starts when I was invited to participate in the media challenge to help Mariel Rodriguez- Padilla do some tough household chores:

We opened cans using an old can opener (gaining the title Abrilata Queen LOL).. it was hard!! Nakalimutan ko na gumamit ng abrilata!! pero it was super fun.. I never thought Mariel can be that fun to work with.. ay walang kyeme ang babaeng ito. Game na game sa lahat ng ipagawa sa kanya!

Mariel Rodriguez-Padilla and Joy with Olay

Imagine ha, while cutting veggies, nahiwa sya and then after that sige pa rin sa pagpiga ng citrus.. eh ang hapdi kaya nun!! Then to our station tapos hugas naman ng plato!! waaah After ng event na ito, fan na ako ni Mariel!

She’s bubbly, she’s kind and super down to Earth.. after showing her hands to photographers and posing with P&G executives, she saw me and she asked me to join her for some photo ops! Mariel: Halika tayo naman

waaaaah nakaka flatter! Instant selfie with a celebrity

And what more? Mariel commented on our selfie photo..josme!!

Now, about the product:

“Joy with Olay strives to take care of women. It is formulated with Vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps repair the skin and nourishes the hands by locking in the skin’s moisture. Joy with Olay does not dry the hands, making them ‘touching moment’ ready,” – P&G Brand Communications Leader Anna Legarda

Sa mga magtatanong, Joy with Olay does not actually contain OLAY, it is the VItamin E that can be found in Olay..so wag kayo mag-alala na maglalasang Olay ang plato nyo, dahil hindi.

Two reasons why I hate (yes strong word, and that’s exactly how I feel about dishwashing) washing the dishes are:

1. Whenever I wash the dishes, I always ended up cleaning the whole house. Maghuhugas ka, makikita mo ang dumi ng lababo..lilinisin mo, kaso magbabasa sa floor, pati floor lilinisin mo na din, hanggang buong bahay nalinis mo na!> ganyan ang istorya ng pag-uurong (tagalog term for hugas ng plato) ko.

2. It dries up my hands.

With this new product from P&G, mukhang mapapadalas ang paghuhugas ko ng plato!
