The reality of adhering to the different pandemic-related health protocols until this global health crisis is under control while slowly relaxing the expansive social restrictions to bootup the economy refers to our “new normal”.
2020 marks the 10th successful year of NOVUHAIR in the Philippines and what a better way to celebrate this milestone by launching the NOVU VIP CLUB.
The NOVU VIP CLUB is designed to guide, inspire and take the journey together with its members a wholistic approach in managing hair loss especially during this global health crisis. Supported by a pool of 10 VIP Coaches, the members are given the opportunity to engage directly with the experts and at the same time enjoy the exciting monthly perks.
Losing up to 100 strands of hair every day is normal. If your hair starts to shed more significant than usual, or if they do not grow back as they should, it can be a source of concern. Once the cause is detected, hair fall remedy or baldness cure for hair loss treatment can be easier.
Along with the ongoing threat
of this pandemic health crisis comes, one has to adapt to the new normal that
affects everything and everyone. Despite the urgency of reopening businesses for
economic reasons, the majority of the Filipinos are still forced to stay at
home with uncertainty.
Sheet masking is one of my favorite step on my PM skincare routine. I just love the feeling of putting a sheet mask on my face before I call it a day. Extra special if my sheet mask gives off that cooling and beautiful effect on my face afterwards.
That's what I experienced from using Bano sheet masks. I availed their Injection sheet mask range and got all the varieties from an event last year and just used up all four recently and so I thought of reviewing each of them.
WHITE JADE - I first used this because of it's color. My fave color is blue so I'm attracted to it, even if it's just the packaging. Anyway, the mask adheres pretty well because it has a lot of essence and the fit was just perfect on the crevices of my face. It gave me a slightly brightened skin the next day.
WATER GLOW - My skin felt a little dry from all the hustle and bustle of wfh while managing a baby and a toddler, not to mention all the chores left in the house plus side hustling a part time job. Whew! Most of the time, I just want to doze off at the end of the day so I have been neglecting my skin and it got drier over time. I used Water Glow one night and it instantly gave my face that moisture I am looking for. I was surprised that the mask was black but regardless of the color, the fit and adherence was great. It doesn't have much essence compare to the former but I liked how brighter my skin looked the next day. It helped a lot on my dry skin.
ANTI-OXIDANT - This powerful mask delivers. I like how it made my face glow the next morning as if I drank a whole bottle of beauty capsule. Guess that's the power of antioxidant on the skin! Not too many essence though 'coz it started falling off a little after putting it on my face. So using this requires the need to lay down to take advantage of the essence.
BABY FACE - I was extra special when I used this because I used a roller whilst this sits on top of my face. Love the cooling feeling. The mask and essence was rich so not much leftover essence on the pack. The photo though shows it doesn't really adhere well so word of advice is to lay down while using it. It was struggle to take a photo of the mask while I'm standing because the jaw part keep on slipping off. After using a face roller for some few minutes, it managed to stick on pretty well. Among all the variants, this has the best effect. Hubby kept on telling me the next morning that I got smooth skin. I think he complimented me thrice. Though I have to say that I also used a new cream that night. That cream will be revealed on the next blog post.
All four has a mild to no scent fragrant so it's pretty tolerable if your scent-sitive. Each has different feel and effect so you might want to consider what fits for you and your skin. My fave is the white jade though. I think it fits all the criteria of what I'm looking for in a face mask. If only the latter has good fit, that will receive the first place.
That's it! For me, Bano masks are highly recommendable especially that I got this with a huge discount. I think I was able to bought this for around P50 only. You can get it at Lipztick Pls on Facebook or IG. Just send them a message.
For more sheet mask review, you can check my Instagram as I did several individual sheet masks reviews there. I stopped reviewing solo though and did something like this (group or the whole variant) because I still had a lot of mask to try plus I can't commit on posting often on the feed. Next time will be series of another batch of sheet masks. Anyone you would like me to review? Recommend them in the comment. :)
Stay Cute and Dainty!

September 2020--These times are extra difficult to deal with, especially when it comes to finding balance between our work and personal lives. Just imagine how a regular day unfolds for a working millennial mom, who tries to hustle while caring for her family, and herself. It may seem like a tough job really, but some of them turned to meditative journaling, also known as mindful writing, as a healing method to get through the day. But how?
It makes them start and learn something new. For working moms who are mostly busy with their responsibilities, there’s this sense of hunger for new discoveries and tasks but they need to be light, rewarding, and easy to maintain, too. The habit of regular writing itself is already a form of a new process – something that is not usually part of our daily lives. But it gives one the freedom to express emotions and create something as they feel it. No pressure. It’s just that joyful connection between the self and those blank pages – the kind of beginning that is comforting than intimidating.
It makes them become more open. Working millennial moms usually feel anxious, unheard, and unseen. It is a struggle to share their sentiments with other people because of the fear that they may not understand it, or simply because they don’t know how to articulate what they’re going through. For the times that they couldn’t catch up with their friends, journals serve as their perfect outlet. The beauty about writing an entry is that there are no rules or boundaries. They can acknowledge their feelings, rant, or even sketch what they feel. At the end of the day, it’s all about taking a pause, seeking comfort, and finding their light.
It makes them remember more things. Juggling multiple responsibilities at the same time can really make us forget a lot. Meditative journaling can help us find our center and remember all the important things, the little wins, and even our failures. It’s like the flow and reminder they need every day. By turning various moments into written tangible experiences, they’re able to keep track of time, pay more attention to details, and regain this sense of control.
It makes them respond to their needs quickly. Narrating your feelings and daily experiences is not only a form of expression, but more importantly, it gives you more signs and ideas on how to care for yourself. If you have noticed how the past few weeks have been consecutively rough, maybe it’s time to realign and change your routine or perspective. If you’ve noticed changes when it comes to your body, maybe it’s time to ask if you’re still okay, happy, or healthy, and make adjustments that are comfortable for you. Listening to yourself is an important element of meditative journaling.
It relaxes them and rewards them at the same time. Mindful writing is like a me-time that is easy to squeeze in every working woman’s hectic schedule. The key to a rewarding mediative journaling is to set a particular time for it, and treat it not as an additional assignment, but a form of self-care. Write based on your observations, feelings, reflections, and needs. It’s like talking to yourself – and choosing to be kind to yourself.
Whether you want to keep a journal for growth, self-love, reconnecting with yourself, finding your light, or simply capturing your thoughts and feelings through words, Viviamo offers different styles and formats that could match any undertaking.
