How To Take Care of Curly Hair Wig

December 13, 2021 0 Comments
Good looks are not something you earn but how you take care of yourself. Looking good and feeling good go hand in hand. If you have a healthy lifestyle, your diet and nutrition are set, and you're working out, you're going to feel good. But on the other hand, some people have other ways to feel and look good. They love to use wigs to make a new look and to satisfy themselves. A wig can help make your hair look livelier and healthier. This is one of the most powerful accessories that women have been using for ages.

Let's talk about how to make your curly hair wig look more natural as always? There are individuals who prefer curly hair rather than straight hair wigs to enhance their look. Here are useful and easy tips to take good care of your curly wigs.

1. Soak the hair with water or you can just spray throughout the origin. Smoothen the virgin hair using a leave-in conditioner from Shea Moisture. Make sure that the product penetrates a lot until the hair ends. 

Apply mousse, a  hair foam that will also leave braids with a beautiful shine and a soft flexible hold. Pump mousse into hands and apply to dry, straight or curly hair or braid extensions to control flyaways or shape edges. 

It keeps your wig popping, still looks brand new, beautiful, glossy, and also the curls are very specified.


2. 
To clean your wig, use a pail, pour water, and shampoo on it. Simply get it all soapy and Place your wig right in there. Use a toothbrush to clean your lease. Please don't scrub it too hard to avoid ripping it.


3. Do the same way you clean your natural hair with your Full Lace Wigs. Use cool water to rinse the wig. Apply conditioner to make hair softer and easier to manage. Then use a paddle brush or a wide-tooth comb just to detangle all the curls in as well as get it smooth and nice. Finally, place your wig on a wig stand for it to air dry, which is the safest way to dry your wig.

Wigs, extensions, hairpieces, toppers - they are all supposed to make you feel more beautiful. Keep looking good.

BELLAVITA celebrating its 10th year with an in10se!

November 24, 2021 1 Comments

BellaVita Land, serving the socialized housing needs of fellow Filipinos, is celebrating its 10th year with an in10se  (read as intense) look at the company’s milestones through the years.

 



 

BEAUTIFUL BEGINNINGS

Established in 2011, BellaVita means beautiful life. And that is what the company offers its people - from the employees, outsourced business partners, brokers and agents, suppliers and of course, our homeowners nationwide.

It all began with a team that set up the very first BellaVita project located in General Trias, Cavite. This maiden project has 12 hectares, 1, 205 lots and 4.5 hectares open space, including roads and utility areas.

From Gen. Trias, BellaVita’s land bank grew to 17 locations all across Luzon, Eastern Visayas and Mindanao.

 

PRODUCTS DEVELOPED WITH THE FILIPINO IN MIND – SAKTO SA ‘YO

We are founded on 5 Sakto Sa ‘Yo Pillars that ensure BellaVita homes are suitable for you.

SAKTO SA LOCATION

All projects are located near terminals and are accessible by various modes of public transportation.

SAKTO SA BULSA

Bella Vita housing units Poli Inner, Poli End and Gemelli and are priced to be easy on the pocket - from P450,000 to P1.2 million per unit.  Indeed, BellaVita has made it possible to own a new home for even less than a million pesos. Flexible and convenient payment terms are available to ensure ease in purchasing your new home.

SAKTO SA FAMILY SAFETY

Following the Ayala Property Management standards, all BellaVita units use quality materials and come with a 1-year workmanship warranty.  The neighborhood is gated for safety and exclusivity and is manned by security personnel on 24-hour duty.

SAKTO SA TASTE MO

Poli Inner, Poli End and Gemelli house units have a contemporary design that doesn’t go out of style. Each model passes form and function, making movement in your home easy and convenient.  Clustered neighborhood with enough open spaces allows you to be part of a friendly community.  Amenities are made available for you and your family to enjoy, such as:

·         Clubhouse

·         Basketball Court

·         Play Equipment

·         Guard house and gate

·         Common Parking Spaces

·         Landscaped open spaces

 

SAKTO SA LAHAT NG GUSTO MO

Surely, you’d want to live in BellaVita’s clean, peaceful and orderly environment.  Its well-planned community offers a balance of privacy even in the nearby open spaces yet allows you to build friendships with neighbors.  Your BellaVita home is the sweet fruit of all your labor.  It’s everything you need and want in a home.  That’s why we say, “Sakto Sa ‘yo!”

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

BellaVita believes in giving back, especially to those who are in need the most. Through the years, BellaVita has done outreach programs to help support different sectors of society, such as:

·         Aeta Community

·         Hero Foundation  - scholars

·         Galing BellaVita Awards for Outstanding Students in Academics, Sports and Arts

·         Cooking & Crafting

·         Diwa Ng Pasko – celebration for workers such as security guards, jeepney drivers, soldiers and nurses

·         Alagang Ayala Land Program –  We take part in providing livelihood assistance to local communities and small businesses affected by the health crisis by making venues available for them to sell their wares at the Ayala Malls.

·         Employees themselves donated funds to those directly affected by Covid-19.

 

ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY

We care for the environment by tree planting and plastic recycling. A Materials Recovery Facility has been set up to process wastes into a feedstock for biological conversion or into a fuel source for the production of energy. The MRF process also helps to provide quality recyclables that manufacturers need to make certain products and goods.

 

IN10SIFIED

Celebrating its 10th anniversary has ushered a variety of activities to keep BellaVita sellers, residents, as well as employees, engaged and proud to be part of this growing family.  BellaVita talents unleashed with the songwriting competition, Awit ng Dekada, tagline contest Slogan-lingan, the painting contest, Sining Ni Bella and the BigaTEN Olympics for the sports enthusiasts. The Magic Quest: BellaVita Halloween Nationwide Online Open House was participated in both by sellers and residents.

BellaVita has intensified its online presence with the weekly Bibo Sa Bella raffle and Good Morning, Bella from Mondays through Fridays on Facebook Live.  A new partnership with online giant store Shopee is underway.  Buyers get the chance to win a new house, or score discounts you can’t get anywhere else.

We’ve come a long way since the first battle cry – Bahay Saya, Buhay Sagana. Lockdowns and quarantines have not prevented BellaVita from enhancing land and enriching lives of the Filipino people.

Compassion in any form of support has been part of the BellaVita mission and values.  All these efforts spur us towards our vision of being the dominant community developer for socialized housing.

“Through BellaVita, we have committed ourselves to enrich the lives of Filipino people. We provide affordable and quality homes to first-time homeowners and to those who need housing the most.”, says Ms. Mayi Rodriguez, COO of BellaVita.

To our business partners and everyone who supports BellaVita, follow us on social media and watch out for surprises as we count down to our IN10SIFIED anniversary celebration!

PH’s 1st Stevia grower-manufacturer launches No Sugar iced tea mixes

November 08, 2021 0 Comments


GIDC, The Stevia Company, and maker of Glorious products, is bringing no sugar iced tea mixes in major supermarkets and groceries! Consumers who cuts on sugar in their diet can now enjoy low calorie, no sugar iced tea mixes that are sweetened by natural alternatives. 

Glorious Blend Lemon Iced Tea, Red Tea and Cucumber Lemonade that are sweetened iced tea mixes without sugar are especially produced for people who are cutting and avoiding food and drinks with too much sugar.


Glorious Blend iced tea mixes are naturally sweetened with stevia. The mixes are made from premium ingredients that include mixed berries, real black tea leaves, lemon, and real cucumber. It is low in calorie and loaded with vitamin C.

“Stevia has been regarded as a safe and healthy sugar substitute. It can sweeten foods, and it has several health benefits, including decreased calorie intake, lower blood sugar levels, and less risk of cavities,” said Maura De Leon, the woman behind GIDC, the country’s first FDA registered stevia grower and manufacturer. 

Before, stevia was restricted to the health food market without any FDA approval. However, it is now widely used as a natural substitute for artificial sweeteners in many products. 

While it has zero calories, stevia is 200 times sweeter than refined sugar and does not affect blood sugar. It is a popular option for people looking to lose weight but who want to reduce their sugar intake. 

Stevia is an herb that has been grown in tropical climates for centuries. It is a small bushy plant that belongs to the sunflower family and grows in Paraguay and Brazil, but it can be quickly grown elsewhere. For centuries, the people of Paraguay add them to their foods as sweeteners, and countries like Korea, Brazil, China, Japan, and South America, have long used stevia.

Stevia is now being widely used as a natural sweetener in various food preparations.

People who have diabetes can benefit from stevia. Choosing pure stevia extract can help maintain normal blood sugar levels and should be used in moderation. Stevia can also help cut down added sugar consumption, which can be beneficial for children. High sugar intake in children could lead to heart disease due to reconstructing triglyceride and cholesterol levels, contributing to children's weight gain. Substituting added sugar for stevia can minimize these risks. At the same time, moderate consumption of foods with stevia and other sweeteners can prevent adverse side effects and promote overall health.

Stevia products such as iced tea mixes, healthy coffees and chocolate beverages manufactured by Glorious, are approved safe by the Food and Drug Association (FDA) for pregnant women or people who have diabetes. 

Incidentally, all Glorious Blend beverages -- from the 3in1 coffee, 4in1 Malunggay mix, 5in1 Brown Rice Coffee, 7-in-1 Mangosteen-Malunggay Coffee, 7in1Native Cacao Choco and Maxitrim with L-Carnitine, use Stevia which has no calories, no carbohydrates, and zero glycemic index. All of their instant drinks will keep you alert and energized throughout the day.
