We All Scream for Gelare!

Image
Is there anybody in this world who doesn’t like ice cream? For me, I have yet to meet one and if that is the case, I know Gelare will sway him/her no matter what. Gelare, Australia’s popular café is now here in Manila. It is famous for their servings of their signature ice cream, freshly baked waffles and yes, an all-day breakfast with waffles and ice creams. Sounds decadent isn’t it? For a company who’s been tantalizing the people’s penchant for ice cream, its 30 years of existence has indeed satisfied people’s love of gourmet ice cream. Gelare now has over 50 branches across Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong and now in the Philippines.

What makes Gelare different from your usual brand of ice cre...

One of the most hateful thing that can trigger my patience is having a bad hair day. I know it just a simple matter to some but having a bad hair day is really bad for me.

Discover Why Chemical-Based Products for Hair Loss Might Not Work For You

Image
Two of my brothers, although they are still in their thirties are losing some of their hair especially my youngest brother who was totally bald five months ago. They may have agonized over it, until I told them to use Novuhair. And lo and behold, my youngest brother is really amazed how tufts of hair started to grow in his bald head. They haven’t tried anything else although some of their friends were urging them to use other products in the past. Thankfully they did not follow through on that suggestion until I urged them to try Novuhair. In cases like abonrmal loss of hair, will you tell a friend or go immediately to a doctor? Will you hide the “shame” under the guise of a wig? While it’s quite hard to decide, there’s no way but people still find themselves falling in line over-the-counter (O.T.C.) which is one of the things my brothers don’t like doing. But most of their friend resort to Chemical-based hair loss products. And may be here are some of the reasons why they im...

Need to Know: The Dangers of Side Effects Presented as Main Effects

Image
With the advent of internet many people have become medical-savvy as they turn online for self-diagnosis and self-medication. This has become a bad habit s we are not really qualifies to self-dispense medicines. There are medical things we won’t understand unless we have studied for so long lie all the practiced doctors. In the medical world, proper use of words is highly called for because a simple mistake could complicate things usually unwanted for the patients. Because this field has full of jargons that mostly are too technical to not easily be sifted and digested by the general public, putting them in a layman’s term is indeed helpful. A good example of which are the words “side effect” and “main effect”. These, are more often than not, interchanged or used instead of the other. Doing so is not just wrong but also dangerous to the people’s health. A side effect of any substance pertains to the result beyond the main or primary action that is intended by the physicia...

Asian Aesthetic Center: Freeze and Melt Fat Away Permanently

Image
Is it possible to freeze and melt fat away? This is one big question that we attempt to solve but first we must understand how body fat functions in our body. Body fat as defined in many books is categorized as adipose tissue which is a normal component of the human body. Its primary purpose is to store energy in the form of fat that is then needed for metabolic functions within the body. However, having excess body fat can be physiologically harmful and at the same time can negatively affect one’s appearance. Thus the idea of the possibility to melt fat away comes to mind when all else failed. Can body fat be destroyed? Unfortunately, fat cells are indestructible since our body has a constant number of fat cells that will remain in our lifetime. However, fat cells can be reduced or shrink in size through various methods like freeze and melt fat away.  You see, when people lose weight their fat cells are also reduce in size but the body will signal the need to reb...

De-Stress your Tress the Natural Way

Image
Studies show that stress is the number one killer in the world. From it comes all things that is detrimental to our health. What more if you’re a career Mom who have to balance between work and family. It can be overtaxing at times. Stress is commonly caused by interrelationships between things, such as having to deal with work issues and family-related complications. If left unresolved over time, it could lead to immune deficiency, which later on, might cause other parts of our body to show signs of disruption like hair loss. Many of us could attest to that. It’s like always autumnal equinox whenever we experience chronic hair fall, most especially at the prime of stress. At its peak, our white blood cells attack no less than the follicles, thus causing alopecia. What’s more, anxiety could drive your mane into a prolonged resting phase, which is called telogen effluvium . Stress experienced by the body or beyond our coping resources could trigger hair loss symptoms, whic...

Head of the family: not just a provider but a father

Image
There was a study which reveals that Generation X think of their father as the main provider in the households thus it is the generation whose father spend majority of their life working hard. Of course the same can be said in any generation as it is really a father’s role to provide. Imagine working in a world where time seems to just past by and where almost everything changes instantly. Think of having to keep up with an environment where it costs a lot to stop or even slow down for a while. Sound taxing, right? What more of prioritizing the welfare of everybody in the household on top of it all.  But every head of the family doesn’t mind about it. Fathers are said to be the pillars of our homes. They toil sun up to sun down to give our needs and desires. Some of them go abroad with tears in their eyes because they will be physically separated from their families. However, there is a certain joy in their hearts knowing that they will be able to provide for thei...
