Female millennials can consume tips and lifehacks from videos on beauty to articles on lifestyle and product reviews. Then there is a simple, fun way to buy them that is tied to the content and the community elements. iamClaire. users can also create accounts, post content, connect with other iamClaire. members, and essentially create their own online buying experience.

“We believe that launching iamClaire. in the Philippines represents the perfect opportunity to address the needs of both female millennial consumers and the brands in the beauty, health & wellness, and overall lifestyle sectors. The shopping experience should be new— more social, more fun, more informed, and much less intrusive than what e-commerce presents them today,” says Randy McGraw, managing director and co-founder, ALTUS Digital Capital.
imClaire. is the first product ALTUS Digital Capital has unveiled to the market.
For almost a month now I have been using MIYU 3 in 1 Whitening: CLEANSING, TONER AND MOISTURIZER.
It comes in a very cute pastel pink and green packaging. Miyu is a known Korean skin care line who came to the Philippines and created 3 products for the Pinay Skin. Got to hand it to you I am a fan of Korean beauty products. With that kind of admiration Philippines have with Korean aesthetics, it’s no question why Manila was a good target.
MIYU conducted a study and formulated products based upon the Pinay skin. According to research, It has been said Pinays mostly use 3 skincare products: cleanser, toner and moisturizer.
MIYU, Manufactured by COSMECCA KOREA CO. Ltd and distributed by AMWAY PHILIPPINES has created 3 products for the Pinay lifestyle. It is made from BUCKWHEAT, CHAGA MUSHROOM (Chaga glycoprotein) and HYALURONIC ACID. Buckwheat is responsible for the BRIGHTENING and decreases sebum to prevent acne. CHAGA MUSHROOM is for the PORE TIGHTENING and ofcourse HYALURONIC ACID is for MOISTURE.
The MIYU WHITENING CLEANSER is called “FREE ME UP” : Cleansing, Moisturizing and Whitening. It has this “citrus” scent and it is gentle on the skin. If you guys ask it is good for all skin types. Available in 100 ML.
The MIYU TONER is called “PORE ME DOWN” (such cute names), for TONING (removes dead skin cells, Pore Minimizing and Tightening & Whitening. Sometimes I just dab it directly on my face and just a few drops it covers the entire face.The products are good to cover till 4-5 months based upon my estimation on how I used it.
My favorite, the MIYU “EASY PEASY BABY” For Moisturizing, Protecting SPF 30 PA+++ and WHITENING. According to research, Pinays are not into sunblock, how ironic considering how hot it is here in manila and the beaming heat too. So Miyu was so smart to create a MOISTURIZER and SUNBLOCK together. I personally bring this when I am on the go with no make up.
For P1947 you’ll be able to get the entire set. You can purchase it individually also. You can order and purchase it at www.amway.com.ph

When I got into my 20s I realized how important it was to take care of my teeth. Before back in college I would fall asleep while studying and sometimes forgetting to brush my teeth. Sounds gross but that’s reality I am not the only one who does it but I do brush my teeth in the morning definitely FYI. I gained cavities (How sad) but then I had my dental fillings in order for my cavities not to get worst. Then I have committed myself to MOUTH CARE ever since. I tried all the whitening toothpaste, mouthwash and gels you can buy in the market, it just prevents it from becoming darker (yellow) and you’ll see the result but it takes time.
Having a set of pearly whites really boost confidence, you know what I mean?
Finally Hong Kong’s The Smile Bar is here in the Philippines! Now here is my personal experience trying out their TRIPLE WHITENING service.
They make you fill out a form just basic and health – related questions. You get to meet your SMILE TENDER who will explain and perform the procedure. My smile tender was Ate Milky! The customer will be the one choosing their preferred service.
Single Whitening (1 x 20 minutes at PHP2,999)
Double Whitening (2 x 20 minutes, PHP4,999),
Triple Whitening (3 x 20 minutes at PHP6,499)
Year Whitening (12 x 20 minutes at PHP24,999)
It may be a bit pricey but its worth it, when it comes to the treatments.
“The problem with home whitening kits is that they are never a sure thing. Some are cheap, some are expensive. Some claim to be natural, while others come with toxicity warnings. You can never tell where you stand with these at-home trays and LED lights” – THE SMILE BAR
Before treatment
PRE – TEETH ASSESSMENT is done, so you will know what shade or how yellow your teeth is. Mine is in the MIDDLE of it all SHADE 20 (They determine the shade by following after the 2 front teeth) . When it comes to the results, your teeth will naturally whiten by 2- 9 shades. Results may last up to 6 months depending on your lifestyle.
02. Preparation before treatment:
Mouthwash first, using BRILLANT SMILE WHITENING EVO MOUTH RINSE
Brushing of teeth using BRILLANT SMILE WHITENINGEVO TOOTHPASTE and ofcourse a special toothbrush imported from Sweden – which you can bring home after.
03. Start of the Whitening treatment, My treatment is the TRIPLE WHITENING. They made me sit in the EGG CHAIR or POD (You can adjust the seat till you feel comfortable) and they asked if I wanted headphones and an iPad. The headphones are the brand, BOSE, so definitely high definition surround sound and in the iPad they have the Safari and Spotify applications while you’re at it.
First, the use of the DENTAL CLEANSER with the use of your pointer finger they will place the dental cleanser (It’s like a glove for your finger) and then you apply on the top coat of your teeth. – HOPE THAT MAKES SENSE but it’s SANITARY
The Smile tender will prepare the mouth piece and application of the WHITENING GEL
Whitening gel
The WHITENING GEL will be activated by the LED plasma light (FREE OF UV and prevents Cancer)
Since it’s TRIPLE WHITENING, it means 3 sessions (20 minutes each) and then every session is about to end the LED will make a sound saying that’s it’s done. The light will turn off then you head back to the washroom where you have to rinse and with the use of your toothbrush to brush of the excess gel.
During the session, it is NORMAL at first that you may feel a little TINGLE and you can swallow your saliva.
After 1 session (SINGLE)
After 2nd session (DOUBLE)
04. When it’s all done, after the last rinse you head over back to the teeth assessment area and check how many shades your teeth have become. So mine after 3 sessions, 8 shades lighter.
*Click photo*
As part of your aftercare, they have recommendations for the next 72 hours after treatment:
Avoid strongly colored drinks such as tea, coffee, red wine, soda
Avoid food that cause stains such as chocolate, and those with food coloring
Avoid acidic food such as tomatoes, vinegar, soy, citrus, and chili sauce as these cause tooth hypersensitivity
Avoid smoking
Do a fluoride rinse twice a day to rebuild enamel and fill any microscopic cavities
05. If you get the NANO SEAL TOTAL additional PHP 1299. They are gonna apply in on the teeth and leave in on for 1-2 minutes and you are all good. The purpose of the nano seal it allows to keep your usual lifestyle without any impact. So right after you don’t have to worry about avoiding the following food indicated at #4, YOU CAN EAT AND DRINK WHATEVER. It’s may be pricey but the perks that come with it.
Then Application of VITAMIN SWAB, for the gums. They’ll give you 2 sticks, one you can use after and one before going to bed when you get home. If sensitivity occurs from the first swab don’t apply the second before bed. It looks like a qtip or cotton buds then you break the seal with a mark, the fluid will go to the other end of the bud and apply in on your gums above and below your teeth – NOT the gums under (heading to the tonsils)
It is advised to DRINK WATER after.

As a nursing graduate it is essential that I always have emergency medications in my bag whether I am travelling or just a regular day in Manila. It is because you never know what can happen.
Unilab, in promoting quality supplements and medications who’s initiative is to have good health among Filipinos by having the right care.
UNILAB’S UNITED HOME TRAVEL KIT dedicates to those who love to travel and what essentails may be in need when you are on the road or in long haul flights. They are easy to pack, you can put it in your mini medication box or a pouch. These are usually over-the-counter medications.
CEETAB DAILY ASCORBIC ACID – VITAMIN C
Indication: To prevent and treatment for Vitamin C deficiency
It’s basically to increase your immune system especially when you’re in places that you are not used to the temperature or you don’t know what viruses or bacteria you can encounter. Also when you lack sleep, it decreases your immune as well. Just to be on the safe side.
MECLIZINE HCL
This is to prevent nausea, vomiting and dizziness during flight or sea sailing. Usally I take this 30 minutes before take off. Before I used to vomit during flights because the scent of some airlines (I was young back then). Now I know 🙂
SODIUM BIRCARBONATE (SUPRACID) EXTRA STRENGTH
I really need an antacid in my bag ALL THE TIME. I used to have Acute gastroenteritis and sometimes I get acid when I’m stress, ate a lot of oily food, “nalamigan” because of the cold environment or before my menstruation. So I recommend (since its not on the label) you take it after meals with warm water to take to smooth the stomach.
If you are using sodium bicarbonate as an antacid, it should be taken 1 to 2 hours after meals, with a full glass of water. If you are using sodium bicarbonate for another reason, it may be taken with or without food. Do not take sodium bicarbonate on an overly full stomach.Apr 15, 2017https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a682001.html
LOPERAMIDE (LORMIDE)
Though it is not recommended to take loperamide by some doctors because you have to let go of the toxins but remember to REHYDRATE. Ofcourse when it comes to extreme measures and emergencies its better to have LOPERAMIDE when you have diarrhea especially
We were all in blindfolds at the event wondering what the lady with the sultry voice was instructing us to do. Then it has come to the big reveal, it’s AROMATIC and I can smell the infused garlic – It’s THE GARLIC BUTTER ROAST!
Well I kinda had the idea since the launch the commercial of SOSBOLZ, Solenn Heausaff and Nico Bolzico – The good-looking and hilarious couple. These two are couple goals not only that they are LIFE GOALS and FITSPIRATIONS but it’s the kind of relationship they have (ofcourse they love each other) but who doesn’t watch Nico’s wifezilla instagram stories and Solenn is just cool about it. Solenn laughs at Nico all the time to the point where tears are coming out – that’s the kind of genuine relationship every girl looks for in a guy.
Going back to the Garlic Butter Roast, during the event it was served COLD maybe because it was prepped prior to the event but I personally feel if it was served like just got out of the oven it would taste great. Plus I love the potatoes served at the around the chicken. Who doesn’t love chicken and potatoes. The GBR is a healthy option because its ROASTED not fried with the homestyle goodness of garlic and butter. TASTE SO GOOD!
It is already available in the menu! I have friends who ordered the GBR and its one of their faves on the KRR menu. So the latest offering WHOLE P550, HALF P295, QUARTER P160. For combo meal SOLO B BUTTER ROAST comes with a platter contains rice, mac n cheese, muffin, sauce, veggies and ofcourse the chicken (quarter) P250.00. The Garlic Butter Roast GROUP MEAL comes with the WHOLE CHICKEN, 4 side dishes, bowl of rice, coke and 4 muffins P820.00.
So head over the nearest Kenny Rogers Roasters near you and order or you can order online http://www.kennys.com.ph
