#Staycation

For the ladies who are feeling extra af, grab your best babes for a luxe sleepover in a hotel. Don’t feel guilty about the splurge since 1) it doesn’t happen often, and 2) it’s a much-needed one from all the stress you’ve been dealing with.

With a #staycation, you can leave all your worries behind, and have the complete freedom to just rest and recover, watch your favorite rom-com flicks with your girls or bum in bed the whole day.

Look snatched!

Part of treating yourself is making yourself feel good and look good. If you want to glam up and explore beauty looks just because, then it’s perfectly fine.

You and your girlfriends can give each other makeovers during a sleepover. You don’t need a party, a person or any other reason to wear makeup. You do it for you. The best part? You girls can do your own photoshoot! Take as much selfies, mirror shots, Instagram content you want, and nobody can stop you from having fun!

Bath and beyond

It’s not a #staycation if you don’t reserve some ‘me’ time for you. Make sure you prepare a warm bath–complete with bath salts or bubbles–so you can relax and meditate.

You’ve probably been through grueling weeks or worse, months. It’s important to set aside alone time every now and then to clear your mind, loosen your body, and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Royal treatment

Once you clock out of your office, the #girlboss is out, but the queen will be in. Let yourself experience some pampering fit for royalty even just for a day.

Schedule a massage, mani-pedi or room service during your stay-in so you won’t be bothered to go through the crazy city traffic. Plus, the private service with your gals is a different experience that will get you feeling special, pampered, and comfortable.

A great hair day

Go the extra mile, and reward yourself with a treatment fit for a queen. Like you and your body, your hair deserves some break and pampering too. But you don’t even have to go to the salon and pay a lot for it. You can just do a quick DIY version of it during your bath time.

Cream Silk recently launched Triple Keratin Rescue Ultra Treatments in the form of crème and hair wrap. These products let you do your own hair spa sans the hefty cost but with the same quality as in beauty salons. It has Keratin Relaxers to tame rebellious frizz, Keratin Serum to revive intense damage, and Keratin Essence to restore extreme dullness. The 200 ml crème tub is only Php 190, while the wrap is Php 200.

Try these different ways to spoil yourself for the ultimate spa day at home.

Eyes

Have you been noticing luggages under your eyes lately? It might be a sign for you to start getting more snooze and giving your eyes a rest.

Target those puffy eyes and dark circles with eye masks or slices of cucumber as an alternative. These will help hydrate and soothe the sensitive skin around your eyes, reduce puffiness, and the cooling effect promotes blood flow, which can lessen the darkness under your eye.

Face

Let your face take a breather from all the makeup and chemicals you’ve been putting on. During your ‘me’ day, make sure to include an extensive skincare routine in your agenda to help you achieve a younger, healthier-looking face.

Try clay or mud masks to cleanse and exfoliate your face from excess oils, dirt, and dead skin cells, as well as to tighten your pores and skin.

Hydration is also important especially if you’re always exposed to the sun. Better pack on those Korean face masks or your own homemade facial masks to bring back the moisture your skin has lost.

Body

Cap a long, exhausting week with a warm bath. Bring out the candles, bath salts, bath bombs, and essential oils–add along your favorite book or tv series and a glass of wine–for the most rewarding bath you’ve had in a while.

The scent of the candles and essential oils creates a soothing atmosphere, which helps in calming you and your nerves, relaxing your muscles, and releasing the tension from your body.

Hair

Skip the hairstyling for the day, and focus on pampering your locks to inject some life into it again. Applying too much styling products and using styling tools everyday might already be causing intense damage to your hair. It deserves a #TreatDay of its own too.

Have your own hair salon and spa at home with Cream Silk’s latest Triple Keratin Rescue Ultra Treatments. It comes in a hair wrap possessing a Triple Keratin formula that addresses rebellious frizz, intense damage, and extreme dullness.

It’s used after washing off your shampoo and conditioner, and can be done in 3 easy steps!

1. Take out treatment wrap from the pack and gently unfold.
2. Put on wrap and tuck damp hair inside. Adjust the entire area. Use sticker tape to secure wrap around your head. Let it sit for 20 MINS.
3. Remove wrap and massage to absorb excess product into your hair. Rinse well after. Use at least once a week for best results.

Here are tips you can follow to help you own the day, come what may!

Meet and greet

Being the #girlboss you are, you can confidently survive any hectic day, even one filled with back-to-back meetings, presentations, and deadlines.

Stress can overwork the glands that regulate your electrolyte levels, so don’t let it consume you. Instead, plan ahead so you can manage your priorities and organize your appointments. Remember to allot breaks in between so you have time to rest and rehydrate yourself.

A queen is never late

To events, that is. Fashionably late might be a thing but not in this case, especially if it’s your event. Delaying will just cause you more stress, panic, and problems.

A girl-in-charge will be fashionably early so she can maximize her grace period to resolve any unforeseen circumstances that may arise. But should things get chaotic, she will keep her cool and grace under pressure with the help of occasional hydration.

Brave to rave

As a social butterfly, you’ve got to be ready for a looong night because calling it a day at 11 pm won’t just cut it. Prep well before attending a music fest or a party by eating oily food and lots of carbs to build your tolerance and energy.

After your night out, don’t wait till you get a hangover before hydrating. Take precautionary measures before you hit the sack, and replace the fluid you lost with water and a drink packed with ions with no additives like Gatorade Ion.

Beach, please

It might be the season of typhoons but days in this tropical country can still get pretty hot. Whether you’re just strolling by the beach or riding the waves of La Union or Baler, you have to match the intensity of the heat with your fluid intake. Don’t forget to pack at least a liter of a hydrating and nutrient-packed drink in your beach bag!

Conquer the climb

You and your hiking buddies will find that there ain’t no mountain high enough for as long as you are equipped with a drink that can replenish and hydrate you with every sip. Make sure to fill your jug with an isotonic drink that can do just that and more.

Days could get busy and incredibly hot. That’s why it’s important to be careful when going through your day-to-day activities. Boss babes need to take the extra step to take care of themselves since they tend to overlook the little things when they are too preoccupied.

Plan ahead and organize your tasks to lighten the load. Take a breather and calm down when it gets too crazy. Reward yourself with trips to celebrate achievements. Stay cool, refreshed, and hydrated with a drink that can give you back all the fluid and nutrients you lost. Gatorade Ion can do that for you!

Gatorade Ion is packed with ions, is low in sodium, and has no preservatives to help you recover from all the stress, exhaustion, and dehydration. Make sure to bring one with you while on the go, so you don’t forget to drink and hydrate!

To help you get ready for the new school year and combat the back-to-school blues, check out these gift ideas to treat yourself with.

Makeover takeover

It may not be January 1 but a new school year also counts for bold makeovers. You know what they say, “new (school) year, new you”.

Source: Pexels

Cut or color your locks, and try to sport a hairstyle you’ve never tried. You are not who you are last year, so let this new look inspire you to be and do better this year. Plus, dedicating a whole day to just pamper and relax yourself should be good before things can even get hectic again.

Retail therapy

You’ve probably used and abused all your shirt-jeans combos last year. Maybe, it’s time to let these go and get yourself a major wardrobe update for the new school year.

Make sure to invest in quality pieces more than affordable fast-fashion articles because it will actually be more costly in the long run. Go for versatile basics since it will be easier to style and repeat.

Planner

It might be light at the start, but school can get pretty busy, especially during hell weeks. You need a planner or journal to manage your school life.

You can keep track of all your tests, projects, reports, and other deadlines, not to mention your other extra-curricular activities. Trying to remember all of them in your head might overwhelm you, so it could really help lessen the burden if you note all of them down and prioritize the more important tasks.

But purse

Just thinking about all the books, notebooks, readings, and paperwork for the incoming year is already tiring! Better to have a bag that can fit all these and more.

Backpack, shoulder bag, tote bag—whatever your preference, just have a durable one that can take the load off from your arms. It also prevents you from easily losing things, as well as keeps your things organized.

New phone, hu dis

With the new school year coming in, add a trusty phone that you can rely on 24/7 in your checklist. Consider Huawei Honor 8C an investment minus the headache since it’s sold at an affordable price of Php 7,999!

You need a phone that can handle your social media activity but also keep up with your school needs (think contacting groupmates, researching, checking Facebook class groups, etc.). Honor 8C has a 4000 mAh battery that can last 2 days without charging so yes, it can handle heavy usage. Plus, its “Cat-Eye” blue and super thin design looks über stylish to carry around!

Well, you thought wrong because period or not, you definitely can!

But it doesn’t mean going hard with your training or forcing yourself to do things all out. You still have to listen to what your body needs. What’s important is that you don’t restrict yourself from the benefits of exercising and other social activities just because you’re on your period.

Sweat it out

Instead of avoiding strenuous activities like working out or playing sports, keep them in your daily routine as staying active actually helps! It has benefits to your physical and emotional well-being.

Doing cardio through your favorite sport or high intensity exercises will make you sweat, which can lessen bloating, heavy blood flow, and the infamous period cramps.

It will also boost your overall mood. By keeping your heart rate up, your body will decrease stress hormone levels and release more endorphins and serotonin, signaling your brain that you’re feeling happier and better!

Ommm… Yoga

Some girls and ladies refrain from practicing yoga since inversions, they thought, can prolong their period. But that’s not the case. Yoga poses and stretching actually release the tension in your muscles which can aid you to sleep better.

Yoga could also be a good alternative if you’re not too keen on rigorous exercises.

Go on an adventure

The uncomfortable feeling might discourage you from going out , but even light exercises outdoors can alleviate this along with mood swings and other PMS symptoms. Try heading out for a walk, jog, trek or hike. Your period shouldn’t stop you from living and enjoying your life.

Shop ‘til you drop

Nothing should prevent a girl from her shopping—not even her period! You might feel all sorts of discomfort, bloating, and low confidence but don’t let these dictate your mood. Boost your spirits by pampering yourself with some retail therapy. Look good in whatever clothing you please because nothing or no one can tell you otherwise.

Basically, any of your daily activities

It’s about time to change your mindset. Just because you’re on your period doesn’t mean you can’t proceed with your daily routine. You can’t hustle and work? Yes, you can! There’s nothing that can get in your way because Period or Not, #SheCan.

The key is using a trusted napkin brand that can support you no matter what you do—just like Kotex Luxe. Its unnoticeable protection was designed for fast absorption and extra security against leakage so you don’t have to worry about staining your favorite bottoms. It also has a Micro-Dry Cover® to lessen friction against your delicate skin and to allow extra breathability. The best part? You don’t even notice it’s there doing all the work thanks to its silky soft surface that feels luxurious and comfortable.

Its five-star rating on BeautyMNL features stories of other girls and ladies sharing their experiences with Kotex LUXE during their period. Check out what they have to say and try it yourself now.

The post 5 Things You Thought You Couldn’t Do When It’s Shark Week first appeared on The Girl on TV.

There are a lot of inaccurate details and misconceptions surrounding beauty. Because as long as you haven’t hit your 40’s you shouldn’t concern yourself with skin concerns that come with age, right? Wrong.

The fountain of youth still remains a legend as far as we know, but in the meantime, we can debunk anti-aging beauty myths so those dreaded wrinkles and age spots are kept at bay.

Myth #1: You should only buy anti-aging products when you’re older

Like the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. It’s never too early to start on your regimen to fight aging. Ingredients that are safe and healthy for you in your 30’s can be just as safe for you if you’re in your 40’s, and vice versa.

If you’re worried anti-aging ingredients will be too harsh for your young skin, just make sure to check the nutrition information on a product to find out if the ingredients will work well on your skin before taking or using them.

Myth #2: Aging just gives you wrinkles

You think wrinkles are the only enemy when you age? Think again. Though fine lines and crow’s feet are threatening, wrinkles aren’t the only thing you have to face. Sun damage causes dark spots too (not to mention skin cancer, but that’s a whole different topic altogether).

Though you don’t see the harsh effects of UV rays right away, you are exposed to it every day of your life and left untaken care of, your skin deteriorates early. So save yourself expensive Botox treatments and start taking the supplements your skin needs.

Myth #3: You can DIY anti-aging treatments

If you ever think of doing your own anti-aging home remedies, save yourself the effort because skinexperts say long-term anti-aging treatments aren’t found in your kitchen.We know “natural” is all the rage these days when it comes to ingredients, but there can be irritants or organisms in your homemade concoction that can harm your skin.

One example of an anti-aging ingredient is astaxanthin, which is found in freshwater microalgae. This carotenoid is a nutrient that’s said to reduce signs of UV-aging which you can find in both topical and dietary supplement products.

Myth #4: The rate at which your skin ages depends on your genes

While experts believe that genes do play a role in aging, they also say our lifestyle choices and habits have more influence on the rate at which we age. Just because your mom has minimal wrinkles at the age of 65, doesn’t necessarily mean you will be the same.

If you neglect your skin’s health, you may age faster than your mother if she has been religiously taking anti-aging supplements or using sunscreen. If your lifestyle includes smoking, having a poor diet, and constant sun exposure, these could all contribute to faster aging regardless of how your mother’s skin looks like at her age.

Myth #5: Retinol is the only ingredient for anti-aging

If you look at night masks and anti-wrinkle creams available in the market today, almost all of them contain retinol. It’s understandable though, because it’s an anti-aging ingredient. The thing is, these are limited to topical treatments only.

Good thing retinol is not the only ingredient out there!

Astaxanthin when ingested is a powerful antioxidant for the body. In fact, this skin nutrient helps reduce fine lines and lightens dark spots.It also has inflammatory properties that will protect your skin from developing sunburns when paired with proper diet and continued use.

So next time you’re on the lookout for new skincare products, keep an eye out for this ingredient and don’t limit it to just topical creams!

The 4 main stars of the awaited possession flick opened up recently about scary experiences and challenges they endured on and off set.

A feeling of something heavy riding on your back

Tom Rodriguez, who plays troubled priest Father Xavi in the film, revealed that he was creeped out by 2 locations—one abandoned school and one hospital for tuberculosis patients. The actor recounted that he felt so creeped out one time that he asked the crew to wrap up filming before night.

He said that upon entering the area, it feels like something heavy rides on his back. To counter the negative energy, he equipped himself with happy thoughts and a crystal given to him by girlfriend Carla Abellana. Aww!

Think positive things

Inah de Belen plays the character of Mara, Father Xavi’s sister. The young actress shared her own horror story. While filming, the director noticed a wound on her neck that wasn’t there beforehand.

According to her, she might’ve hurt herself while filming a specific scene with a prop. Like Tom, she counters these negative happenings with positive thoughts.

Praying before filming

Jasmine Curtis-Smith said that all throughout filming, she felt secured especially since they pray together before starting work. However, the cast also acknowledges that although they are safe, scary things happen in real life in certain places.

Challenges

Aside from the supernatural aspect, Miles Ocampo opened up how scared she was to take on the role of Agnes, a seemingly perfect daughter and student being pursued by a dark force.

She said it’s the most challenging and daunting role she’s ever had and that it was tiring “emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually kasi nakakatakot din”.
