Swish Breath Spray Product Review

Last week, I received a Swish gift pack from the bloggermail courtesy of Unilab. The gift pack contains Swish Breath Spray products to help fight bad breath. After trying it out for days, I've decided to come up with a product review. 

The most common cause of bad breath is poor oral hygiene. Bacteria that build up on your teeth – particularly between them – as well as your tongue and gums, can produce unpleasant-smelling gases. These bacteria are also responsible for gum disease and tooth decay.

If you don't floss and brush your teeth regularly, any food trapped between your teeth will be broken down by the bacteria and may be responsible for bad breath. Bacteria can also live on the rough surface of your tongue. As well as brushing your teeth, cleaning your tongue can also help control bad breath. 

Jam and Dance Concert featuring FBC Rebirth Band with guests Nonoy Zuñiga and Pauline Cueto at RJ Bistro this July 20!

In celebration of RJ Bistro’s 30^th anniversary, a special show will be held dubbed as Jam & Dance will be featuring FBC Rebirth Band with special guests OPM-hitmaker Nonoy Zuñiga and upcoming teen singer Pauline Cueto. Family Birth Control band (now known as FBC Rebirth band) was the group that has launched pop icon Nonoy Zuñiga’s career as a singer. It was the band that catapulted him to stardom. Unbeknownst to many, Nonoy was part of the original members of FBC band even before he lost his right limb during the Martial Law era. And for someone who’s been in the industry for years, it’s nice to know that Nonoy, despite going solo and gaining accolades on his own, he continues to jam with his old band whenever he has time. This is quite rare for such an amazing talent like Nonoy. No wonder, he’s one of the best OPM icons to date.

Allied Against Dengue Movement: DOH and GSK launch dengue awareness campaign

I honestly didn’t know anything about dengue until I came down with the said illness one unfortunate holiday about six years ago. At the time, I wasn’t really concerned about mosquitoes nor dengue fever itself until I started to experience the symptoms myself. It started off as a mild headache and then fever that never seemed to go away. I also didn’t know I had a rash of tiny red spots over my legs because during my illness, I was wearing my pajamas all the time. The fever was awful but the worst thing was the headache. It was the worst headache I’d ever had, like torture. Painkillers didn’t have any effect and it was worse when I tried to sleep. So I got no sleep at all, which was so horrible. I suffered for three nights before I sought medical help. 

The doctors gave me the usual lab and blood tests. At first, they were unable to confirm the dengue virus, in fact according to the first diagnosis what I had was simply urinary track infection. They told me to come back in two days if I wasn’t feeling better and that I take paracetamol. And then later on, the tests did confirmed it was dengue. Luckily, I didn’t have any dangerous complications. The thing with me was I didn’t want to be confined in a hospital. (This isn't something I'd really recommend, okay. But this is my personal choice.)So I signed a waiver instead and promised my physician I’d closely be monitored by my mother. There were only three reminders for me to bear in mind: 1. I need to drink a lot of water. And when I say tons and gallons of water, I really meant a LOT! 2. I need to have a full rest. 3. Last but not the least, I had to make sure that when something bleeds (i.e. my gums ), I’d have to rush myself to the ER.

Midea iAdd Washing Machines thought of everything for their consumers

Press release: Home is a sanctuary and the moments spent there are precious. It is where the family gets its much needed downtime, to play with the children and settle to recharge. That is why it is important that the home must achieve the ideal living conditions, free from worrying about consuming too much time and energy on chores and tasks.

“When we set to bring the brand in, what we really looking for is not just selling boxes, not just selling products. It’s really about studying the consumer, looking at the pressures, the problems of the Filipino consumers and come up with solutions that would say, ‘look this would make home chores easier for you’,” Trapaga explains. “One of the insights that I got is that can we should stop talking about the technology and start talking about the benefits. And teach the consumers how they can have a more worry-free life.”

My Tarot Card Reading Experience with Feng Shui Master Hanz Cua

A deck of Tarot Cards

Shrouded in mystery and steeped in legend, astrology, feng shui, charms, divination practices and tarot card readings have been scattered throughout human history for centuries. Even in modern times, just as many have been disproved and tossed aside, we’ve learned that there is merit to some. Purple Plum Fairy was privileged to have a one-on-one Tarot card reading session with Master Hanz Cua, Asia’s youngest and celebrity Feng Shui master. Before I go on further on what happened during my tarot reading session, allow me to tell a few more things about him.

If he looks familiar to you, then you must’ve seen one of his huge billboards on EDSA or you’ve seen him on TV as he appears on ABS-CBN’s Umagang Kay Ganda daily. I’m sure his name also rings a bell because he also has a special segment on a radio show called Wanted Sweetheart on Barangay LS 97.1 with Papa Dan.
