Vitabears Chewable Vitamins is Not your typical dietary supplement

 

As a woman wearing different hats, two of those, as a mom and a wife at age 45, keeping myself healthy for my family is my top priority. Because you cannot give what you do not have, I make it a point to give the best of me as much as possible.

How to do that? Aside from living an active healthy lifestyle, good supplements help a lot. With this pandemic that is causing so much stress and worries to many, staying fit is a must.

For some, taking vitamins or supplements may not be an easy task. It can be the busyness at work or activities or it can be the thought of taking in pills or tablets for a maintenance. Perhaps, swallowing a tablet can also be dreadful at times.

Did you know that in a recent study conducted by many European doctors and dieticians, it is estimated that over 40% of adults cannot take vitamins by pills. And over 90% of children are reluctant to swallow capsules or pills. 

An interesting form of supplement has just surprised the market. This will surely make adults and children to get to take gummies like a fun thing enjoy. Vitabears is a Philippine based brand making waves in the Southeast Asian Market. We are the 1st Vitamin Gummy Bear Brand to introduce a wide range of highly effective and nutritious vitamins in a more acceptable way of ingesting our daily vitamin needs.

Vitabears was born because of the simple notion that - Pill and Capsules are boring and tasteless. Most people forget to drink their vitamins because of it. Vitabears aim to change that. Though, I think I’m also guilty with that one.

I got a chance to try two of the variants from Vitabears vitamins. In two weeks time, I noticed the results. It was my first time to encounter Vitabears and I got curious with it huge bottle of colored gummies.



Vitabears Chewable Fat Buster
works, based on my experience. I tried taking one gummy on an empty stomach in the morning before I start with my workout. While another one at night before bed time. I lost some pounds!  I really sweat during my workout. And that counts a lot!  Meaning, I was able to burn more calories from the time I started taking Fat Buster.  Because as we age, our metabolism slows down. We need some help to reach our health goals.  Fat Buster promotes weight loss and boosts metabolism. Thanks for this invention.


Here's how I look after doing 30 min. hula hoop workout. In 10 minute warmup, I already started sweating like a pig. I even reached the Fat-burning level that made me burn those calories.

With Vitabears Chewable Flawless Glow, my almost tan skin caused of sun exposure due to my gardening hobby, turned lighter again. I'm not fond of applying whitening that is why I'm so happy to discover this yummy chewable supplements. The mango flavor tastes good unlike other tablets or pills.





Noticeable glow can be seen on my skin. I'm loving the flawless me again! Flawless Glow vitamins promotes healthy hair, nails and skin. Now, there's no excuse for me to ignore taking nutritious yummy vitamins.


How to take it?
Just consume two gummies a day, one in the morning and night time with empty stomach.

And here are more reasons why I love Vitabears Chewable Vitamins:

GLUTEN-FREE Since gluten provides no essential nutrients, it's a good news that Vitabears do not contain it.

ORGANIC They said, don't panic it's organic!  No artificial chemicals involved. Who would not love taking in organic stuff in our body? As much as possible, I really wish to have everything I eat organic. 

NON-GMO Product was produced without genetic engineering. It means that any ingredients used to make a product were not derived from  Genetically Modified Organism.

VEGAN I love it that these products exclude all forms of animal exploitation and cruelty.

Discover the Best Items to Complete Your Wedding Journey at the Shopee Wedding Expo




Getting ready for the big day? Planning weddings can be daunting and exciting for all those involved, made even more complicated by the changing safety protocols in the last two years. If you’re recently engaged and don’t know where to begin, or if you’re one of the trusted friends and family tasked to make things happen, why not try sourcing all your wedding needs on Shopee? Brides and grooms-to-be can enjoy big discounts, coins cashback, and more at the Shopee Wedding Expo happening from February 26-27. 


Shopee offers a very unique shopping experience, especially for couples looking to DIY their weddings and stylists who have to source their materials for the festivities. The Shopee Wedding Expo is packed with awesome deals from a wide assortment of wedding must-haves that’ll cover the preparations before the ceremony all the way to the reception. Be inspired by the stories of our Shopee Fam, newlywed couple George and T-Ann, and renowned event stylist Teddy Manuel, who prove that Shopee is indeed a gold mine for wedding essentials.


George and T-Ann achieve their DIY wedding on a budget with Shopee



Before getting married earlier this month, George and T-Ann faced difficulties canvassing materials for their wedding. The couple, who had been together five years, turned to Shopee to purchase almost everything they needed for their celebration. Although both were busy with their respective schedules (George running their family business and T-Ann just finishing her residency as a physician), they were able to contact and secure a few suppliers for their decorations. Still, they had a lot on their checklist which weren’t readily available. 


With shopping malls and Divisoria being crowded and risky to visit, they opted to buy on Shopee the remaining materials for their arches, scented candles and table toppers, and even their souvenirs for more than 100 guests. Not only did the couple cut down significantly on expenses, but they also enjoyed the process of making the decorations. “Don’t be afraid to DIY. It adds a personal touch to the wedding. Our relatives all came together to help create some of our big decorations. These became priceless moments we’ll treasure together forever.” 


For couples also considering a  DIY wedding, George and T-Ann advise them to focus on affordable, quality raw materials that look premium and professionally put together. The couple also suggests buying a sample first to check the quality before ordering in bulk. Want a fairytale-like wedding? The couple recommends these fairy and geometric lights that spruced up their venue and these personalized scented candles that served as giveaways to the guests. “Shopee really played a big part in our wedding preparations, as most items were already available there at very affordable prices. It was so convenient for us, since we didn’t have to worry about spending money on parking and gas and going to crowded places.”


Teddy Manuel turns to Shopee for his event styling needs 



Teddy Manuel is a popular event stylist who has been making waves in the industry for almost two decades. Widely regarded as one of the pioneers in his craft, Teddy puts in a lot of time and effort in making his clients’ weddings aesthetically pleasing — from entrance decors for the entourage to the backdrop and ceiling works at the reception. When the pandemic hit, he had to adapt accordingly as sourcing materials internationally became a challenge due to stricter protocols and logistical delays. Teddy’s resourcefulness led him to try Shopee as his new go-to supplier.


With more couples opting for intimate weddings, Teddy focuses on the smallest details that can create a big impact at the wedding venue. He shares his most important tip for wedding planning: always be cohesive. “It’s important that everything ties together. Stick to a color scheme and work your way from there. Check Shopee for the specific products that you need and you’ll surely find a lot of options.” Among Teddy’s favorite Shopee finds are these hanging silk flowers and these white parasols, both of which add lush elegance to any event space. He also looks to Shopee for tableware such as this beautifully-crafted, gold-rimmed ceramic Nordic plate for the perfect finishing touch to his set-up. 


“When you’re ordering online, it’s crucial that you read the description and contact the seller to get further information about the product. I’m grateful that I’ve gotten affordable and high-quality products on Shopee — and  since all I have to do is add them to my cart, it’s easier for me to manage other tasks and responsibilities for the wedding too.”

 

Here are some of the best deals to watch out for in the Shopee Wedding Expo, perfect for the ceremony proper or the reception that follows: a stylish but budget-friendly men’s formal suit, artificial flowers for venue decors, hook drop earrings to glam you up, and thick bottom sandals to complete your outfit.


The Shopee Wedding Expo will happen from February 26 to 27, 2022. You can also enjoy 10% off (minimum spend of ₱1,000, capped at ₱500) on select products and get a more rewarding shopping experience when you checkout using ShopeePay’s free shipping vouchers. Check out a bunch of wedding preparation deals for as low as ₱1 when you pay via ShopeePay at partner merchants such as Resorts World Manila and FlowerStore.ph. After the expo, you can proceed with shopping for more wedding needs by maximizing ShopeePay's free transfers feature and sending payments to suppliers that only accept bank transfers as a mode of payment.


Don’t let the stressful wedding preparations ruin the romantic getaway with your better half. You deserve to relax and recharge on your honeymoon. With ShopeePay, you can get great promos at some of the country’s luxurious hotels to make the experience even more special. Get 20% cashback when you book your hotel bookings, including Estacio Uno Boracay, Mithi Resort and Spa Bohol, and White Breeze Palawan on Shopee and pay with ShopeePay.

WWF-Philippines asserts support to the UN Environment Assembly in adopting new treaty on plastic pollution

 


The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is one with the Philippines and other United Nations (UN) countries in a push for a new global treaty on plastic pollution, which will be discussed at this year’s UN Environment Assembly or UNEA 5.2.

 

The Philippines is a co-sponsor of the Peru and Rwanda Resolution which proposes that UNEA establishes an Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) with a mandate to prepare a new legally binding global agreement that would form part of international law.

 

At UNEA 5.2, happening this February 28 to March 4, 2022 to also coincide with the 10th anniversary of its creation and the 50th anniversary of the UN Environment Programme, UN Member States are expected to adopt a decision to start negotiations on a new treaty on plastic pollution. More than three-fourths of the UN membership publicly support the development of a new global agreement along with more than 2.1 million individuals, 25 financial institutions, and more than 60 companies globally.

 

WWF takes a stand that the creation of a new treaty on plastic pollution will be beneficial not only to the environment but also to the businesses involved in the cycle, by mainly standardizing compliance. The organization has long been conducting research and forwarding policies that could curb plastic pollution worldwide.

 

In the Philippines, WWF recently conducted its solid waste management baseline study in Philippine ports. They are also pushing for the implementation of the Extended Producers Responsibility Scheme to make an impact on the worsening plastic problem in the country.

 

WWF is also working closely with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and climate and environmental consultancy group Parabukas to discuss the needs and wants of the Philippines for a global treaty.

 

The groups agreed to support the enhancement of various local cities’ zero waste programs, which when implemented on a national level can be improved by a global treaty. Availability and investment into reusable alternative and reuse systems must also be taken into consideration.

 

“We would like to work with the global community on how to address the plastic problem as we know that plastic pollution is a transboundary and cross-sectoral problem that cannot be solved through national or regional initiatives alone. We hope that UNEA 5.2 and its member states join us and support the start of negotiations towards a global legally binding agreement on plastic pollution and come up with a lifecycle approach on plastics,” shared Mr. Albert Magalang, Chief of Climate Change Division from the Department of Natural Resources (DENR).

Additionally, WWF-Philippines’ National Youth Council is also encouraging the public, especially the youth, to participate in the country’s various efforts to move towards a sustainable green earth, free from plastic pollution, and more importantly, to support the new proposed treaty it co-sponsored for nature.

 

“We believe that it is not too late to take action and save our environment. Through this global treaty, we look forward to a united and swift action so that our future generations may live in a better and greener environment,” said Mr. Mirus Ponon, member of WWF-Philippines’ National Youth Council.

 

WWF Philippines Executive Director, Ms. Katherine Custodio remains optimistic that everyone’s efforts on pushing for the treaty will come to fruition, “It’s high time we demand a treaty for an issue that continues to be a growing problem for the world: plastic pollution. WWF, together with our partners, are united to bring to light a new global treaty to address this and improve our solutions for nature.”

A Clean Home is a Happy Home!


 

When your surroundings at home are clean, you feel happy, motivated, and healthy. However, hearing the word ‘cleaning’ turns away eyes to avoid shouldering the responsibility as some may find it tiresome or boring. 

 

So, fret not as Clorox Philippines, one of the country’s leading providers of cleaning and disinfecting products, provides you a long-term solution to keep your home neat and clean all the time – a cleaning calendar. Why? Because cleaning your household can be fun and meaningful when the cleaning schedule is done right.

 

To help you decide whether having a cleaning calendar is better or not, here's why it’s important to adopt in your household and encourage your family members or housemates to start doing their part when it comes to cleaning.

 


Everyone shares responsibility at home

Whether daily or weekly, having a cleaning schedule helps you and everyone in the household share responsibility in keeping your home clean and tidy. You can help them choose a specific task that they will enjoy doing, like sweeping the floor or making sure that they follow proper waste segregation. 

 

In the long run, you will not nag them anymore to remember since keeping the house well-kept all the time will be second nature to them.

 


Ensures that all tasks are not falling on one person

From commercials to TV dramas, homemakers tirelessly doing the house chores all by themselves is a familiar scenario. But it doesn't have to be that way. Planning a cleaning calendar puts everyone at work. Someone must be assigned to wash the dishes after eating, vacuum the floors, wipe down the kitchen counters, disinfect doors and walkways, clean the bathroom, and so much more.

 


Prevents Big Pile of Messes

Most of the time, spending the whole day just scrubbing and cleaning the house is the dragging part of cleaning. However, making a weekly cleaning calendar for every member of the household would designate the tasks equally and avoid chores piling up. Mondays can be for bedrooms, Tuesdays for bathroom, Thursdays for living room, Saturdays for the kitchen, or whatever works with your other activities. 

 


Builds bonding and relationship 

Who said that cleaning couldn't be fun? Keeping your house clean requires a team effort like how you play in a game to win. A little bit of creativity and a family movie night reward at the end of the day is already a booster. Not to mention, all those funny stories and a few bubbles can make your kids giggle while doing their cleaning task.

 


You save budget from hiring a professional house cleaner

Whether you have your family, friends, or workmates sharing in one space together, it is vital to take part in picking up a cleaning task. If no one wants to do it, then a professional house cleaner will do it for you, of course, for a fee. But why hire someone if you can do it yourself and save costs? 

 


Clean your home with Clorox Cleaners

Yes, cleaning can be tiresome and time-consuming, but with the help of suitable cleaning and disinfecting products, your housework efforts can be lessened. So, with superb cleaning power, Clorox provides you with its cleaners that you can use to maintain your home clean and free of germs, especially in the new normal.

 

To thoroughly clean your bathroom, specifically the walls, floors, and sink, use Clorox Disinfecting Bleach. Not only does it clean every part of your bathroom, but it also disinfects them and kills up to 99.9% of germs, including the COVID-19 virus. And as its partner, apply the Clorox Toilet Bowl Cleaner. Its bleaching power destroys tough stains and kills germs, leaving your toilet clean and shiny. With scents ranging from lavender to lemon, it also delivers a refreshing fragrance in your toilet bowl.

 

The Clorox Disinfecting All-Purpose Cleaner, on the other hand, is your new household partner in the new normal. Perfect to use on various types of surfaces, such as synthetic marble, stainless steel, glazed ceramic tile, plastic, glazed porcelain, and sealed granite, this bleach-free cleaner with an easy-to-use spray can kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses and leaves no harsh odor while keeping everything fresh and clean.

 

Also, make it a habit to wipe down your home’s high-touch surfaces with Clorox Expert Disinfecting Wipes, as it kills 99.9% of germs, including the COVID-19 virus, in just a minute. It is best for quick cleanup wherever you go and can clean and disinfect gadgets and toys.

 

To top it all off, utilize Clorox Expert Disinfectant Spray for a 30-second sanitization of the soft and hard surfaces in your house. Capable of also removing 99.9% of viruses, bacteria, and fungus, you and your family can say goodbye to your home’s germs and odors.

 

“At Clorox, we encourage everyone to keep their homes neat and clean to prevent bacteria and viruses that could affect our health. We hope that with our cleaners, we can help Filipinos maintain safe and clean surroundings, especially in the new normal,” said Monique Gonzalez, marketing manager for Clorox Southeast Asia.

Mr. Ferdinand Bondoy, Chairman of PRSP Students’ PR Con and Grand Prix, Board Trustee of PRSP and Regional Integration & Chief Executive Director of COMCO Southeast Asia said, “As I've mentioned last year, this work given to me by PRSP is really close to my heart. Back then, I was also a PR academic scholar of the Public Relations Society of the Philippines. And it has come full circle. That's why we made the 2021 Students' PR Con and Grand Prix Hack Sprint truly meaningful and special, even if it's fully digital and virtual. It is with much honor and fulfillment that we've ended this event on a high note. Our sacrifices are all worth it.”

Mr. Bondoy closes this year’s Students’ PR Congress with a challenge to the students: “I’m passing on the torch to you. As soon as you finish school, see you in the real world. And we invite you to join us in doing PR for good and making a difference in society,” Mr. Bondoy said.

Mr. Norman Agatep, President of PRSP and President and Managing Director of Grupo Agatep shared, “PRSP is honored to have this year’s Students’ PR Congress as the platform for students from all over the Philippines to learn new insights and perspectives about where our industry is headed. May everyone use their learnings and experiences from both PR Con and Grand Prix as a tool to create and inspire positive change in more people, especially during this crucial period.”

And while the infections in Metro Manila and its nearby provinces are already starting to decrease, the Department of Health (DOH) still recognizes the country, especially NCR, as high risk for the virus.

 

For that reason, people must be C-gurado amid these uncertain times. It is essential to always keep our health in check with sufficient vitamins and nutrients for doubled-up protection against the invisible enemy even if we’re wearing masks outside and completely vaccinated, along with a booster shot.

 

Hygiene and health must start at home. And while no supplements can directly cure COVID-19 and its variants, taking vitamins and minerals like Vitamin C and Zinc can help provide adequate nutrition to double up one’s immunity, lessening severe symptoms.

 

Benefits of Vitamin C and Zinc to help boost one’s immune system

Vitamin C is a well-known vitamin to take in the new normal. Since it provides added protection, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), this vitamin is vital to maintaining your health. 

 

Vitamin C also assists a person’s immune system combat sicknesses, making it significant to include in your diet. In addition, a foreign study indicated that regular Vitamin C intake helps reduce the severity of colds.

 

Other than that, as an essential medicine, it can assist in faster wound healing and minimize the risks of having long-term illnesses like cancer.

 

Another winning supplement to increase our immune functions is Zinc, a mineral that may have antiviral activity. According to a study, this mineral improves immune cell function that counters viral infections or may reduce the ability of viruses to multiply.

 

Another study found out that Zinc may not prevent colds, but evidence proves that it plays an essential function in shortening cold symptoms.

 

No wonder why Vitamin C and Zinc are necessary to be taken this new normal. It’s because of the powerful benefits of these supplements to people’s immune systems.
