Aqua Mineral From The Dead Sea Product Review: Defy Aging + Giveaway!

At the age of 30, we start to lose collagen and skin elasticity. With the numerous factors to consider such as stress, cigarettes, pollution and other harmful free radicals, the skin gets more and more saggy each time we're exposed to these (sadly, it's almost everyday that we are exposed to these things). Don't fret though, hope is still within reach. We can still defy early signs of aging but only if we use the right skin care products. Have you heard of Aqua Minerals? I'm sure you've probably seen them at the malls  (just as I did) or must have heard about their amazing products because they've been around here in the Philippines for 6 years and had been enjoying the Asian market too in places like HongKong, Japan and Vietnam. Aqua Minerals products are made from the minerals found at the Dead Sea--the same one you read from the Holy Bible, located between Israel and Jordan. 

CosmetiGroup International Corporation is the exclusive distributor of Aqua Mineral Beauty Line products. Aqua Mineral beauty line combines both health and beauty benefits with its innovative, patented technology. So even upon instant application, you can feel and see the difference. It rejuvenates the skin and penetrates deeper, not just topical because the seaweed that exists in the dead sea is high in betacarotene.

Just Chill, Shake & Gulp! Be Happily Healthy with Goody Gulp Giveaway x Purple Plum Fairy

I know that we've just finished having a giveaway but since September is my birthday month, we've decided to give out some more since Purple Plum Fairy has been commissioned to hold this giveaway from Goody Gulp. 

My beloved Kyle had always been a fan of SpongeBob Squarepants. He adores his funny antics and he's fond of watching him all the time on TV. So what happens when he sees his favorite SpongeBob cartoon on a milk chocolate drink tetra pack? Well, he's been over the moon the first time he has tried it. You see, Kyle sort of had a milk-taste fatigue. He's not lactose intolerant, but he wanted to try other drinks. Our bones are like banks--we should start sustaining our calcium needs as we grow old to ensure that we will be Osteoporic when we get old. Milk is an important aid in bone development. Of course, as a parent, I didn't want to sacrifice his calcium needs and it's such a good thing that SpongeBob Goody Gulp indeed is a pretty good alternative! 

Kyle here wears a smile as he holds his favorite SpongeBob Goody Gulp Drink

SpongBob Squarepants Goody Gulp is also a perfect snack or baon for school. But it's best when it's chilled, straight from the fridge. Kyle's addicted to the SpongeBob Goody Gulp in chocolate. I liked the Patrick Star Goody Gulp variant though. It had that sweet strawberry taste and the creaminess of milk without overpowering each other. It tasted just right, not too sweet not bitter. And it does not have any bad after taste unlike other stuff we've tried before. 

SpongeBob Goody Gulp was made from New Zealand Milk without any preservatives so you can be assured that it'll not only be delicious but also safe. The packaging says it's a natural source of Calcium, Vitamins and minerals for kids, young, and those young at heart. It's available in two sizes:180ml and 230mL and two variants: Chocolate and Strawberry! 

If you'd like to win awesome SpongeBob Goody Gulp drink gift packs, and stand a chance to win a limited edition SpongeBob Squarepants Speaker, Purple Plum Fairy is hosting it on my blog. There will be 1 winner of the cute limited edition SpongeBob Squarepants Speaker and 2 winners of a Goody Gulp gift pack each. This giveaway is only for Purple Plum Fairy readers in the Philippines. Contest ends on October 7, 2014 at 12nn.

Good luck!
