How to beat the heat!

For my fellow bloggers residing in the Philippines, I'm sure you all will agree with me that this year's heat has literally been unbearable. For readers not in Manila, let me give you an example on how hot it has been in Manila, we average on temperatures of 34c - 36c only 2 degrees celcius more and the heat we are experiencing is a full blown fever! It's that crazy.

So how do I beat this heat? If I had it my way, I would stay indoors inside my air-conditioned room but guess what MERALCO isn't cooperating too so here are a couple of tips to beat this summer heat.

1. Be Hydrated - Keep cool by drinking tons and tons of water all day, you need to keep cool inside. A good cup of cold water every now and then will help regulate your body's temperature. Tip: water with rock salt saturated to drink is a lot better according to my dad, the salt helps keep the water in your body for longer, plus it's filled with good minerals for your body! :) Oh occasional Juice is also good, my favorites are Grape Juice, Cranberry Juice and Orange, and sometimes, a cold Soda helps too! :)

2. Take at least 2-3 showers a day (2 If you're out most of the day) to feel fresh and was out the impurities of the heat stuck on your skin. And of course, who will disagree that a shower is always refreshing. :)

3. If you're a person who can't do without a lotion, I suggest using a lotion that is less thick or water based. The perfect lotion for me in this unbearable heat is Skin MD Natural lotion, I use it for my face, and my arms and there is no icky feeling at all! :)

4. Last, my handy best friend in this heat is Aromacology Sensi's Body Cool Mist! I swear, this cool mist really cools you. I used it for one of my outdoor shoots and it was my life saver. Plus the citrus smell is also pleasing and helps you smell fresh amidst the crazy sweat you get from the heat. It's the best I tell you, I spritz it after I take showers to smell fresh and anytime in the day I feel i need to cool from the heat. So handy I love it!!! :)



How about you guys, how do you beat this crazy summer heat? :)


Toodles! :)

Product Spotlight - Cold Wax

Here's a review on the cold wax by Armacology Sensi. My sister made this review but since we're both hairy this applies to me too! :)

For a girl, I have a bit too much hair on my arms. My mom always craved and ate balot when she was pregnant with me and they say that’s why I’m a bit too hairy. If you’re Filipino and understand the term “pinaglihi,” yes, pinaglihi ako sa balot. It sucks, because I really don’t like seeing that much fuzz on my arms. Thank goodness for hair removal means, because I wouldn’t know what to do without them!

I don’t shave my arms for fear that the hair will all grow back uglier and thicker. Instead, I wax. I’ve tried several types of wax in the market. From easy to use wax strips to hot wax, but I ditched those, because they either didn’t work well or were just too messy for my liking. Early this year, I finally found something that I really really loved:

What I love most about this wax, is how cost effective it is. You don’t need to buy expensive wax strips/cloths, just use plain paper. Yes, paper! Even scratch paper will work just as well!

Here’s a quick step-by-step visual to show you guys how easy it is to use:

Just scoop a small amount of the cold wax straight from the pot (yes, no heating required!) using a spatula. A little goes a long way!

Apply a thin layer of the wax in the direction of the hair growth. See how long my arm hairs are? Haha!

Lay a strip of paper over the wax and rub in the same direction as the hair growth.

With a swift motion, pull the paper back against the growth of the hair.

Tada! Check out all that hair! =P

Repeat several times covering the entire arm. Afterward, clean the skin with a warm moist towel to remove excess wax.

Look ma, no hair! =D

See how fast and easy that was? :) I can enjoy several weeks of hairless arms with this baby! Plus, it’s only selling at the affordable price of Php215! That’s only about $4.50USD! It’s definitely the perfect salon treatment in the comfort of your own home. I just love it! :)

Product Spotlight - Aromacology Sensi's Tea Tree Oil

Hi lovelies!

I think everyone will agree with me that we all want blemish free skin. Like what I always say, no matter how good you are with putting on make-up, the perfect base for make up is good skin. So we do everything we can to keep our skin blemish free. But you all know that in reality it's not that easy for most of us (yes us, i have terrible unpredictable skin! ). I sure try my best to keep my skin blemish free as possible, and I will share another secret of mine with getting rid of those unwanted pimples.

Aromacology Sensi's Tea Tree Oil

Tea Tree Oil is nature’s most effective versatile healer for skin problems, it is 100 times more powerful than leading antiseptic, antibacterial and anti-fungal medicine. It can be used for cold sores, warts, fungal, acne, bacterial infection, burns, candida, althlete’s foot, insect bites, oily skin, blisters and dandruff, eczema and rashes. Has a pleasant herbaceous smell. (www.revitalizespa.multiply.com)

I really love this product, it is small enough to bring with me everywhere! This is my miracle product. I just dab a little on my finger and start patting the area affected and in about 24 hours, my pimple dries up. :) Aside from that I use this for bites and as stated above, it can be used for everything! Every girl should have this in their bags!

The only thing is, it stings for a bit once you dab it on affected areas. But this is only for a bit! But feeling the stings makes me feel that the Tea Tree oil really does its job! :) So it makes me happy that all the bacteria is being dried up! Hehe


This product runs for only PHP185! Every girl's must have in their bag! Your all around solution! :)


For those in the Philippines who want to try this product, you may get them directly from me, you can leave me a message here or email me at revitalizeonline@yahoo.com or carla.avancena@gmail.com I am one of the distributors here in Manila for this wonderful brand! :)
