Stay home, stay safe, and add a splash of color to your life

May 28, 2020 0 Comments

While we stay at home to help flatten the curve of this pandemic, we suddenly find ourselves with lots of time in our hands to do the things we could only dream of- or used to take for granted. As we wait for the air to clear, we make use of the time we have to learn a new recipe, to work out, to pamper ourselves, or to simply change up our looks. But if you’re too afraid of cutting your hair, why not add a splash of color instead?
Simple acts of care especially during quarantine can make anyone feel better. Why not show your mom or your sister how much they mean to you by spending an afternoon at home giving each other refreshing new hair color? Give them a whole new look that shows off their unique personalities through Kolours.


Kolours has been the go-to brand of many Filipinas- and for good reason. Infused with Color Retention Technology, Kolours gives a vibrant precision color that lasts for up to three months.

Kolours comes in 12 variants, and has recently added a line with celebrity Solenn Heussaff! These newest products offer trendy colors and are all infused with Meadowfoam Seed Oil- delivering the Best Ever Damage Defense System. Meadowfoam Seed Oil repairs the hair making it stronger and also locks in moisture to make hair softer and smoother. With the new shade range, there’s definitely something for everyone!

What to Do If You and Your Family Are Quarantined at Home

May 23, 2020 0 Comments

Quarantined!

In June, 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced a swine flu global pandemic---a new strain of flu that spread easily and widely between people, and an outbreak occurring in at least two regions of the world.

The press implied that WHO had proclaimed a major, world-wide disaster only days away. Mexico was virtually shut down as businesses, schools, and churches closed and people stayed home in droves---a self-imposed quarantine. Governments quarantined travelers from Mexico. When discovered to be less severe than outbreaks of usual flu strains---a "moderate" outbreak in WHO terminology, folks shook their heads and pooh-poohed the global pandemic.

However, this was the way the 1918-1919 Spanish Flu pandemic started: a summer outbreak with many people ill but few deaths, but autumn brought a second wave of the illness where at least 21 million people died worldwide.

Lesson: don't totally ignore doomsayers; plan for possible pandemics.

Whenever there is a pandemic, there will be isolations and quarantines for days or weeks. Prepare now.

Follow all preparations for natural disasters in other posts in this blog. But there are additional foci when planning for quarantine.

For example, the kinds of foods you store should include large amounts of easy-to-digest foods in case someone contracts the illness. The BRAT diet is one possibility: Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast. Bananas are difficult to store, although they can be frozen in their skins and used in banana bread or blended beverages. Or you might try dehydrated banana chips or canned baby food. As for toast, unless you have a humongous freezer for storing many loaves of bread, you must have ingredients handy for making your own---and an alternative means of baking. Chicken soup is another good item.

Dehydration may need to be combated---as in the 2008 cholera epidemics in Africa. Water and juice are easiest to have on hand. Don't rely on sodas as they dehydrate rather than rehydrate a person.

Disposable plates, cups and tableware may be especially helpful, as are toilet paper, paper towels, and facial tissues. Plastic garbage bags of various sizes are useful, as well as a variety of sizes of baggies.

Make it possible to hang laundry in the sun---the first and best sanitizer. And, in the event of power outage, you may need a scrub board.

Water may need to be purified; use bleach or other disinfectant chemicals (chlorine, or medical-grade hydrogen peroxide). Or you can collect PET (a type of polyethylene) bottles, fill them with water and put them in the sun for five to six hours or for two cloudy days. Save the water in other safe containers so you can continually refill the PET bottles.

General medical supplies to have are a thermometer, medical gloves, and surgical-quality face masks. Ask your physician to help you safely and legally get a stock of prescription medications used by family members. Antibacterial wipes are also important.

These are just basics. In addition to gathering supplies, you would do well to research further to determine just what you need. But get to it---before it is too late.

Snus Flavors To Try

May 23, 2020 0 Comments
Okay, so let's say that the main reason people who want to stop smoking is they have yet to find the way that works for them. Or, they have yet to find a way to replace whatever it is smoking gives them in the way of pleasure, stress reduction (though smoking stresses the body out completely) or satisfaction in some way. Let's look at some of the ways people do stop and there are more ways to stop smoking than you may have thought.

Snus is a Swedish way to enjoy tobacco. In a purer, cleaner, and more flavorful way. Snus is a revolutionary way to enjoy your tobacco. The Swedes have been doing it for two centuries now. Some purists love their snus loose. Taking a piece between their fingertips, they simply pop it under their upper lip. However, there’s another way to do it nowadays. Your snus comes in a little pouch called a “portion”. The portion varies in size, depending on the amount of snus you want to take.


When you think of flavors nicotine pouches do not spring to mind. Flavors are associated with sweets and confectionery rather than with tobacco. But when you insert a snus portion under your upper lip, you are getting ready for a taste experience that’s beyond anything you’ve experienced in the past. 


Check out a lot of Snusflavors.com that you can try at their online site. Enjoy fruit flavored snus such as bergamot, raspberry, and melon. You may also try mint and sweets. The selection of flavors gives something to suit every palate and the most discerning of users. Whether you enjoy dark chocolate, aniseed or licorice, you’ll find a taste to savor and enjoy. A rich experience awaits you.

Quit Smoking, Try Snus. What is Snus?

May 23, 2020 0 Comments
So many reasons people use when they say they want to quit smoking and some people mean it but many people have yet to find the reason that will motivate them to finally quit smoking once and for all.

There is acupuncture, meditation, hypnosis, over the counter drugs, prescribed drugs by a physician, nicotine replacements like nicotine gum, nicotine patches, nicotine lollipops (can you imagine?), lozenges and pouches that contain nicotine, herbal supplements and the old fashioned cold turkey method. 
Did you know there is another way?
According to Wikipedia, Snus is a moist powder smokeless tobacco product originating from a variant of dry snuff in early 18th-century Sweden. It is placed in the upper lip for extended periods. Snus is not fermented. Although used similarly to American dipping tobacco, snus does not typically result in the need for spitting, and, unlike naswar, snus is steam-pasteurized.

Sale of snus is illegal in all the European Union countries except for Sweden. It is also the most common form of tobacco in Norway. Some EU countries like Estonia allow the sale of snus-like products that contain nicotine but no tobacco. Local varieties of snus, growing in popularity in the United States, have been seen as an alternative to smoking, vaping, e-smoking, chewing, dipping, dissolvable and snuff tobacco. However, US-manufactured snus does not have the same production standards or ingredients as Swedish snus, and typically uses significant amounts of sweeteners.

Snus can be bought online and you may check it at Nearestsnus.com where you can buy
Snus pouches. They are flavored (or unflavored depending on your preference) tobacco pouches that you place under your upper lip. Once in position, the snus discretely releases the tobacco within, providing the user with the same nicotine buzz as other methods, but without any of the unpleasant side effects associated with something like smoking.

Hotel Sogo’s ‘new normal’ ensures that operations and preparations are Safe

May 16, 2020 0 Comments
Experts say it will take longer before the world completely heals from the effect of COVID19. As the country prepares to ease up after almost three months of Enhance Community Quarantine, Hotel Sogo steps up for their version of the hotel industry’s ‘new normal’. Hotel Sogo is doing various ways to ensure the safety and security of its guests and employees against the spread of Covid19 virus, once they go back to regular operations. Top on its list will be the use of ultraviolet (UV) lights in disinfecting around its facilities and intensified the process from checking-in to ordering food to make sure their facilities as So Clean.

The ultraviolet (UV) lights are highly effective at disinfection, as its rays are capable of killing bacteria, germs, and viruses. To prepare its employees in servicing its guests, Hotel Sogo makes sure to protect its employees from the virus by giving them vitamins to boost their immunity and provided personalized PPEs.

Hotel Sogo employees have their medical check-ups and Covid19 testing to make sure that their personnel is free from the virus to make sure that the employees and not just the facilities are So Good and ready for their regular operations. Guests need not worry during their stay Hotel Sogo ensures that operations and preparations are So Safe, as mandatory temperature checks, passage through disinfecting tent, and use of disinfecting foot tray are in place.

The availability of hand sanitizers in common areas are strictly observed, as well as social distancing from the receiving process to elevator use going to their rooms. Facilities are also redesigned and modified to protect the guests and employees, like placing the glass panel divider on top of the front desk. All of this information can be found in Hotel Sogo’s ‘new normal’ video playbook. The video is shared with relevant government agencies like the Department of Health (DOH), Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), and the Department of Tourism (DOT), in the hope that the video could serve as a benchmark of other similar establishments prior to their reopening. Watch Hotel Sogo’s ‘new normal’ playbook video to know more.

How To Keep Your Home Clean and Sanitized After ECQ

May 14, 2020 0 Comments
A clean place is always the best place to live in. We may not be the cleanest person in the world, but when it comes to our family, we must do it to prevent them from getting sick. Since we are in enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have a lot of time to do the cleaning in order to stay safe and healthy. Even after ECQ, we must keep our home clean.

Some people find it difficult to clean their homes especially if it is either big, have kids, or have pets. You cannot blame your kids for being messy and stubborn. They are kids who love to explore and learn new things. So we have no choice but to understand them. You may hire a helper to make it easier for you and no need to supervise them, but the thing is you will not know what the helper is doing.

One thing that's for sure, clean it yourself and here are random tips to follow for cleaning your home.

1. Make sure to buy a washing machine that can help you clean your clothes and other things like towels, bedsheets, pillowcases, and curtains that needed to be wash at least weekly. You may wash it manually but having a good washing machine can make life easier. Wearing clean clothes that have been washed carefully is the best you can do to preserve them longer and no harmful effect on you and your family. There's an automatic washing machine for sale you can check out if you want to buy one. High efficiency, high durability, and low noise. Spotless cleaning for 24 types of stains. 2 kg of clean laundry in 14 minutes. Remember that clean clothes keep you fresh and safe. 


2. Store your cleaning materials in a place where you can see all of them easy and organize. Keep them away from kids. So that when it's time for cleaning you know where to get them. Prepare all the stuff so that cleaning is smooth sailing.

3. Start decluttering. Houses can become messy and at times uncomfortable to live in when you have too much stuff scattered all around. Clothes that you haven't worn for a long time, clothes that your children have grown out, toys that are broken or no longer using, stored papers, and other stuff should be donated or sell them in order for you to remove the mess and clutter.

4. Keep things in an organized manner. Small things like school supplies, hygiene kits, utensils, and other things should be kept in proper compartments or cabinets and with labels so that it will help you locate things easily.

5. Ask your family to join you during your cleaning galore. It will be a time of bonding and at the same time, you allow them to learn how to keep your house clean and safe to live in. 

6. Don't forget to clean places that are hard to reach, hidden, and more prone to dirt and germs. This can be under your sofa, carpet and the like. Walls, doorknobs, bathrooms, tables, and chairs, refrigerator, and appliances are also needed attention so make sure to clean or scrub it with disinfectant, organic or natural products to protect your family from hazardous chemicals.

Be sure to keep these things in mind during cleaning to keep you safe and have a clean place to live in. Always set a time for cleaning, follow it properly and strictly. I know it's hard to set the mood when it comes to cleaning but if you stick to your own schedule, you set for yourself, it wouldn't be hard especially if you have the motivation. This is for you and your family's safety.
