When I was younger, my allergic rhinitis was at its worse. Every single day that I wake up, I would sneeze. A lot of times, the sneezing would go away mid-morning. But many times, this would continue that my immunity would fluctuate and I would catch a cold or flu.During these times, I would immediately pop a tablet of Celestamine to stop the sneezing. In less than 30 minutes, the irritation on...

Fitrum is an oral supplement for weight reduction and management. It has Teavigo, a Green Tea extract, combined with L-Carnitine, both fat burners that transform fat into energy.I took Fitrum for a month and was satisfied with the results. I had more energy to burn therefore I was able to do and accomplish more things. I didn't feel the need to take a nap in the afternoon and so I  got...

This is not mine but my husband, however, I was the one who encouraged him to get one under my brother's name (for their company and Globe had a tie up). I also handle his bills.Billing wise, Globe is pretty accurate. And now that my husband has a subscription plan, he seldom goes over the limit of P500 or $10. When he had the pre-paid before, he usually consumes more than that amount in a ...

Aceite literally means oil. So Aceite de Manzanilla is literally oil of Manzanilla. I am not sure if it is a plant, but well the color of the oil is green. It can be bought in mainstream drugstores but is not really prescribed by doctors.But traditionally, this is oil is used for colicky babies. Its main purpose is anti-flatulence and it does really work wonders, not only for babies but also fo...

My mother in law is an agent of E. Excel and as such, they are believers of the products, so I was introduced to them. One very good and unique product that I find in E. Excel is Nutrifresh.Nutrifresh is a healt drink, but I consider it a complete drink. It is made of healthy plant foods and is low in cholesterol and fat, but high in phytochemical, antioxidants and soy protein. It is supposed t...

I was browsing through the grocery aisles today to look for more varied food stuff for my growing baby and I discovered that Nestle Cerelac has the Stage 3 variants. I got the Chicken and Vegetables flavor, because actually I have already fed my baby that. But I like products like Cerelac because these are fortified with vitamins. This dry cereal is specifically for infants ages 8-24 months, bu...

I have been using my old mercury thermoter for a very long time. When my baby came, I always kept it handy. But my sister in law said that it is not good to use the mercury thermoter because when it breaks, the mercury can poison my baby. I got scared but did not have extra money to buy.Thankfully, my sister in law got one for us and she god this Safety First digital thermometer. This is really...

Alright, we are suckers for anything lavender because the scent of this plant is known to calm the senses and make the body relax for a good sleep.Our baby is very energetic and so we wanted to calm her down. That is why we keep on buying stuff with lavender. So far, the strongest lavender smelling product line is Johnsons. So aside from the wash and powder, we got the lotion.One thing I notice...

The ESeries of Nokia are business phones. But they are way to expensive. Then they came out with the budget business phone, the E63, which was offered to me by my service provider for free, as part of the renewal of my subscription plan.It is quite a big phone, wide but thin. I could use a smaller phone that could fit in my pocket. It took some time for me to get used to the QWERTY keypad, but ...

Lactacyd Liquid was the first product of Lactacyd. It is a very mild natural skin cleanswer made of simply two ingredients--Lactoserum and Lactic Acid.I used this way back in college when I had pimples. I was advised to use a mild cleanser because they said that my skin could be allergic to harsh cleansers. As it turned out, Lactacyd is so mild that it could not remove oil and grime off my face...

I wanted something with a little sugar for my baby's snacks. Aside from biscuits, I wanted her to snack on cereal because it has milk. And I found the perfect one for her--Nestle Cerelac Wheat Banana & Milk. This is actually a Stage 2 food, so there is not much texture in it. However, it tastes good with the flavors of banana and milk. The flavor of wheat could not really be distinguish...

Enervon C tablet is made in the Philippines. It is not a complete vitamin supplement but mostly B-Complex and 500 miligrams of Vitamin C. But it is enough for me. Although the nutrients are not complete, it lives up to what it advertises and what its name implies--energy. I have tried other Vitamin B supplements for energy and supposed to be for stress, but nothing beats Enervon C. I believe th...

When my baby turned 5 months and 2 weeks, I started her on solids. But first I started her with home cooked food, like mashed potato, carrots, and rice turned into porridge. No sugar or salt added.After two weeks, I bought the Nestle Cerelac Rice & Soya, which is a dry cereal for infants. I was convinced to buy this because on the box it says "No Preservatives." As much as possibl...

We wanted more forced savings for our baby's future, either for her education or whatever. My husband's cousin is an agent of PruLife UK and so we were introduced to their product called the Prulink Exact 10 Plus. It is payable in 10 years and we get market value for our money. It is an investment or forced savings with insurance. It is based on the market value of what you invested on,...

My doctor recommended the Anmum Materna Milk Supplement for my pregnancy. I thought at first, oh no, not those skim milk, non-fat types, as I hate those...Yuck!Anyway, when I bought my first Anmum, I didn't buy the 1 kilogram can, as I thought it is too much, I might not be able to finish it. So I got the 400 gram box. To my surprise, I loved the taste. It is not skim milk tasting, it ...

We have an internet/gaming café and we have 25 units with us. All of these computers are installed with the ATI GeCube PCI-E Card / X550 / 256MB video card.My husband says that for the price, these video cards are really worth it. Hardworking and doesn't conk out easily, and it allows for the easy of 3D movements for 3D games. Our customers love the it!Although we have internet, our ...

I have opened a Premier checking account with a local branch of Maybank. The service combines a checking account, a passbook, and an ATM card. I think it is pretty good. The opening and maintaining balance though is pretty steep at P20,000 which is roughly $500. That is pretty big in our currency.Anyway, service is pretty good, except that sometimes there are employees who are not very accommod...

Apart from diapers, I did not know that Huggies had Baby Lotion. But the last time I went to the grocery, they were on sale! As in Buy 100ml, Get another 100ml bottle. There were two variants--the other was Shea butter, but I got the combination Lavender and Chamomile scent because my baby is rather energetic. We hoped that the lavender would calm her down.We are using it on our baby currently....

We bought a couple of the Camera brand Anti Colic Feeding Bottles because we needed an alternative to the Breastflow bottles that my baby is using, as at that time, Breastflow was out of stock.We chose Camera because not only is it cheaper, it is supposed to be anti-colic. The nipples are standard in size, the bottle is BPA free. Pretty good, huh? It comes with a plastic sieve-like thing so tha...

From where I am, there are international and national banks offering us credit cards. However, nothing still beats the convenience having a credit card from a bank with a local branch because it is convenient to do business.Take for instance the paying of bills. I have an international card that I pay with Metrobank and I have to fill out a payment slip, go to the bank, endure the queue, and pa...
