These affordable Crown Organic shirts are a perfect gift this holiday season

Be it a simple hangout, a quick getaway, or just doing your daily routine, t-shirts are always the one piece of clothing preferred by most of us. 

I am a huge fan of shirts. I always go for the basic style so shirts are definitely a staple in my wardrobe. Aside from them being super comfy, there are also so many ways to wear them - you can wear it as it is, or simply put on a jacket, coat, or accessories to add some layers to it and you're all set! 

Shirts are also very accessible, and in my opinion, they don't really have to be very costly. 

In my search for affordable shirts for my everyday use, I came across this brand online - CROWN ORGANIC. Browsing through their online store in Shopee, I see they offer a wide array of colors and styles that is perfect for every mood or occasion.

Just like this Organic Men's v-neck shirts, I really love its variety of colors. Although I usually prefer just the neutrals, it's also nice to have other choices whenever I feel like wearing colors. These shirts are made from 100% cotton so we know it has good quality and comfortable to wear. Originally, this is priced at ₱300, but you may get it now at a discounted price of ₱169!

If you feel like wearing something that's in between casual and formal, then this Organic Men's Pique Lined Polo Shirts is a perfect choice. I usually wear shirts like this when going to the office before since we don't really have a strict formal dress code. It is not as casual as a t-shirt and not too formal like longsleeves too. These shirts are currently priced at ₱279 (originally at ₱350). 

If you think they're already very affordable with the prices I have mentioned, wait until this weekend because Crown Organic is joining Shopee's 12.12 Big Christmas Sale!

Enjoy exclusive shop vouchers and up to 76% discount on select items. And that's not all! Crown Organic is also offering wholesale prices on their items so the more tees you get, the more you save!

Treat Your Loved Ones to a Feast for the Skin with Shopee Beauty’s Luxury Beauty Gift Guide

Gift shopping for the skincare enthusiast can get tricky. After all, skincare is very personal. Beauty regimens aren’t one size fits all, and each routine is unique and tailor-fit to one’s skin type. 

So what do you get your skincare-savvy loved ones this Christmas? To make gift shopping easier, narrow it down to your recipient’s skin concerns. Are they determined to keep wrinkles at bay? Or are they perhaps dealing with pesky acne?

To  target dullness and uneven skin tone, get the Skin Inc Holiday Spirit Set, which includes an exfoliating peel and serum. Lastly, Nuwhite Whitening Vitamin C combines vitamin C, zinc, and collagen to brighten the skin, while also boosting the immune system.

These tried-and-tested anti-aging products are formulated with hydrating ingredients that’ll keep your loved ones looking fresh and young! L'Oreal Paris Hyaluronic Acid Cream is made with hyaluronic acid to deeply penetrate the skin and offer long-lasting hydration.

Add in The History Of Whoo Anti-Aging Essence as well, which will soothe and repair dry skin with its rich yet non-greasy formula. 

For those who struggle with occasional unwanted breakouts, acne treatments would make great stocking stuffers. Without stripping the skin of moisture, Kiehl's Face Wash lifts away impurities, dirt, and oil which can clog pores. Kiehl's Dark Spot Solution attacks deep-set spots while also promoting blood circulation. Another great option is the Clinique Dark Spot Corrector, which contains salicylic acid to gently exfoliate the skin and antioxidants to combat discoloration. 

Now that chilly days are here, it’s important to keep the skin moisturized. The limited-edition Laneige Moisture Essence Set’s lightweight formula will keep the skin fresh and hydrated throughout the day.

Knowing the importance of understanding pain and how to Avoid them

We all feel pain in different ways. What may feel like a minor nuisance to one may be acute to another. Because it isn’t always visible and therefore, cannot be easily measured, sometimes it’s hard to describe or understand the type of pain one may feel.

It’s important to put the spotlight on aches and discomfort because chronic pain affects people’s lives all year long. While pain can be associated with an injury, a chronic kind can still exist even after the wound heals. This may limit mobility and affect endurance, strength, and flexibility. It may even get in the way of doing daily tasks.

Here are some tips on how to avoid pain:

1. Proper warm-up. Warm-up is an essential part of a workout. Rushing into a workout without a warm-up can lead to pain and agony. Warm-up prepares the body for strenuous activities during the whole process. Not only it can reduce muscle pain and soreness, but it can also improve overall performance. 
   
   
2. Reduce stress. Stress can increase the body’s sensitivity to pain. Reducing the activities that contribute to stress can help avoid stress. One way to cope up with stress is by having a Mental Imagery Relaxation. This process includes creating calming and peaceful images in mind to help reduce stress.
   
   
3. Intake of pain reliever. There will be times that pain relievers will be the most vital route to reduce pain. When choosing medications, it is important to consider the proper intake and dosage. Over-the-counter medicines are the most accessible means of getting pain relief.

One of the well-known and trusted pain relievers is Ibuprofen Advil. It is known to relieve pains such as headache, toothache, backache, menstrual cramps, the common cold, muscle aches and arthritis. Advil can also help manage fever.

Ibuprofen Advil Liqui-gel is stronger than paracetamol in relieving pain and works two times faster than ordinary ibuprofen tablets. Ibuprofen Advil helps manage your pain so you can focus on achieving your goals.

Ibuprofen Advil is available at all leading drugstores nationwide. To know more about Ibuprofen Advil, visit facebook.com/Advil-PH.

PETA's Under My Skin Is Streaming Online

After a successful run of Rak of Aegis Online, the Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) announces another streaming play to cap 2021. This time, PETA revamps Rody Vera’s provocative, relevant, and heart-wrenching anthology drama on HIV, Under My Skin, directed by Melvin Lee, from the stage to the screen, together with esteemed advocacy organizations The Red Whistle and LoveYourself, and UNILAB, Inc., PETA’s major co-presenter.

Under My Skin was PETA’s last live performance at the PETA Theater Center before the lockdown in 2020 happened – just two weeks shy of the show’s closing. The play is inspired by real people and events, and it accurately depicts the realities, triumphs, and struggles of people living with HIV, while navigating an important conversation about acceptance and tolerance. The show introduces us to a number of characters – Jonathan, Greg, Syd, and Mario whose relationships are tested when Jonathan gets infected; Dino, an HIV-positive teen whose status is discovered through a contraction of tuberculosis; Mary Rose, a mother who unknowingly passed down the virus to her son after getting it from her husband; a gay beauty parlor employee experiencing work-related discrimination, and more. Their stories of love, pain, and acceptance are revealed through Dr. Almonte, who is studying the spread of the devastating virus. 

Although Under My Skin and many other plays were forced to close on such short notice, PETA had always been hopeful that the curtains would rise again, and that Under My Skin would soon have the opportunity to pick up where it left off. In January 2021, this hope came to fruition, as PETA was able to gather the cast and staff of Under My Skin for a closed-door filming of the play.

PETA Executive Director Beng Santos-Cabangon says that Under My Skin hopes to continue what it has set out to achieve, providing a space where various HIV-advocacy groups can unite and strengthen their cause, with art and theater at the centerpiece. 

We believe that Under My Skin Online can continue to serve as a platform for probing conversations and reflections as well as bringing attention to and engaging the public on the issue of HIV and AIDS. Converting the production into the film medium would allow for more people to see it - and bring to the spotlight the advocacy.

Amidst the COVID- 19 pandemic, we should be relentless in our efforts to address the problem of access to HIV prevention, testing and treatment. It is our hope that this endeavor will contribute in generating greater public awareness and concern, building a caring community, and somehow helping eradicate stigma and discrimination

- PETA Executive Director Beng Santos-Cabangon

Now is also the time to generate urgent conversations about HIV and AIDS - especially since there has been a “21% increase in new infection brought about by the decrease in HIV prevention coverage and increase in treatment gap,” according to the 2021 data of the Department of Health. LoveYourself founder and executive director Ronivin Pagtakhan says that as the pandemic continues to evolve, we continue to adapt in the name of the HIV advocacy. 

LoveYourself has allocated resources to shift our services online including refill for treatment medicines with XPress, self-screening with SelfCare, and setting up regular appointments for health check up with Booking as we contribute to ensuring equitable access of HIV-related services for key populations in the country. We are glad to partner once again with the wonderful people at PETA to make Under My Skin accessible online for greater awareness as this initiative amplifies our advocacy’s voice towards ending the HIV epidemic.

- LoveYourself founder and executive director Ronivin Pagtakhan

The Red Whistle also continues to respond to the HIV epidemic by addressing the need for a change in mindset. 

Theater has the ability to move people to understand the issue more. We need to shift perspectives around HIV-related stigma and change attitudes towards our sexual health

- The Red Whistle Executive Director Benedict Bernabe. 

If we want to change people’s minds, we need to tug on their heartstrings first. This is why the arts is an important and necessary component—especially during this pandemic—not just for awareness and education, but also for behavior change in the HIV advocacy.

Under My Skin is now reborn for a new platform. In a time when the arts push to thrive amidst all the restrictions of lockdown, PETA embraces the migration of performances from live to virtual. Although it may take some time before things return to normal and the curtains rise once again, PETA, along with its partners, strives to make a new kind of stage in this virtual era, where we will continue to make meaningful theater.

Under My Skin is written by Rody Vera and directed by Melvin Lee. The online streaming cast features Cherry Pie Picache, Eko Baquial, Gio Gahol, Mike Liwag, Jarred Jaicten, Kitsi Pagaspas, Dylan Ray Talon, Dudz Teraña, She Maala, Bene Manaois, Erold Enriquez, Jason Barcial, Joseph Madriaga, Rach Gimpes, Reggie Ondevilla, Roy Dahildahil, Gerard Dy, and Ekis Gimenez.

Under My Skin runs on November 26 to 28, and November 30 - December 5, 2021. Tickets are available at Php 180 for Livestream, and Php 250 for Video on Demand tickets via www.ticket2me.net, bit.ly/undermyskinonline, or through any of the Under My Skin Online showbuyers.

Ever since the pandemic started, face masks have been one of the essentials everyone must have especially when going out. There are many kinds of face masks available in the market now and, ultimately, choosing which one to get all boils down to the preference of the user and, of course, the protection it can offer.

One of the masks i have tried and preferred using so far is this Good Manner face mask from Ilwoul.  Aside from getting the protection I need, it is also very comfortable to wear. No wonder Ilwoul is dubbed as the number 1 selling mask in Korea and fastest-growing mask brand in the Philippines.  

With its 3-dimensional design and wide filter area, I find it easier to breathe as it doesn't lay flat on my face. Some face masks tend to be itchy and irritating, but this mask has a soft and comfortable inner lining - it is almost cotton-like texture. Aside from bacteria and viruses, the Good Manner KF94 Respiratory Face Mask also provides protection against airborne particles like yellow dust and fine dust with its premium 4-layered filters. It is also US FDA-approved and the best of it all, it is reusable for up to 30 days! You can also wash it up to 20 times so you don't have to worry about spending too much on those one-time use masks.
