Orange Blush Salon opens Metro Manila flagship salon in Spark Place Cubao

I started coloring my hair 4 years ago, I remember highlighting it with burgundy and dark brown as my base. Burgudy is the one color that is only visible to sunlight. I was not adventurous with hair coloring then. As the years go by, I experimented with brown copper, and ash light blonde with my long layered hair. I had a side swept bangs and it suits me. I kept the side swept bangs since then.

Last year, Orange Blush Salon was launched at the SM Megacenter Cabanatuan City. They offered to color my hair and I said yes to Red or Ronze this time.  Ronze is a mixture of copper red and bronze brown. http://lemongreenteaph.blogspot.com/2016/01/get-latest-hair-trends-at-orange-blush.html
I maintained it with a sulfate free conditioner and Purple shampoo which I bought from LUSH at Glorietta Makati.

The color worn off for 7 months and when Orange Blush Salon opened up their Cubao branch. I had it colored red at the tips ombre style, since I had a Medium Ash blonde base 2 weeks prior to ombre.

The Orange Blush Salon was launched on July 28 at Spark Place Robinsons Cubao. The launch was attended by Ms. Joby Linsangan Moreno, president of Orange Blush Salon, Orange Blush Salon execs and media.

"We want the people to know that they, too can own a salon," says Joby Linsangan Moreno, president of Orange Blush Salon.

Orange Blush Salon with more than 20 branches, launches its first Metro Manila flagship salon located in Spark Place Cubao.

Very soon, two franchise branches will open: one in Sta Cruz Manila and another in Quezon City area. "We are targeting to launch 8 more franchise branches this year," she says.

Franchising has been at the forefront of Orange Blush expansion plans.

"We want to broaden our reach to as many markets, not just in the provinces but in the metro as well," she explains.

Orange Blush Salon is a story of success from being a probinsyano (brand) conquering the the big city.

"We carry with us that unique and probinsiyano brand that we represent,” she explains.

Orange Blush Salon opened its first branch in Nueva Ecija in 2003. Joby who has always been interested in the beauty business started the first Orange Blush Salon from the remnants of a financially strapped  salon about to close shop. "I was then looking for a small place to set up my own beauty business when I saw this small beauty salon about to close." Several years later, Joby has grown her beauty salon business that it now has franchise branches.

"We want to inspire people. We also want to encourage them that they too can open a business of their own."

Early last June, Goldilocks billboards in key areas of the metropolis simultaneously displayed a giant 50th Anniversary celebration cake. The signature cake was truly attention-grabbing, featuring a delightfully decorated mocha cake with a number 50 candle topping it off.

Roughly a week later, however, countless people were perplexed when these cakes literally went missing,leaving a gaping cake-shaped hole hole right in the middle of the billboards. Discussions and theories flew left and right on social media, with news reports in mainstream print and television following suit.

Kiss Aging Goodbye with Watsons Anti-Aging Products and get to win shopping points

With so many anti ageing creams, scrubs, balms. lotions, masks and serums to choose from in the market today. All claim to do one thing: slow, or even reverse, the immediate and long-term effects of ageing. Dont forget too, that the food you eat also plays a major role in your skin.  Fruits and vegetables high in flavonoids and carotenoids–two powerful plant-based antioxidants–help remove free radicals from your skin and body that cause premature aging. To help achieve wrinkle free skin, buy one anti aging serum that would suit your skin and eat food that is high in antioxidants.

Everyone has been in a quandary and in the look out for that one holy grail of a product. The one misconception is that a high end cream is better than a drug store find.  At Watsons there are better beauty quality products that is worth recommended for a fraction of a price.

Watsons launches the Kiss Aging Goodbye campaign on August 4, the event was hosted by Watsons Celebrity Ambassador Ms. Patty Laurel Filart and attended by beauty bloggers and Watsons executives.

Watsons is helping thousands Kiss Aging Goodbye in its latest anti-aging campaign and comes up with great deals and discounts starting August 4 to September 21 in all Watsons stores and SM Beauty Section nationwide

What is it? Watsons Marketing Director, Ms. Viki Encarnacion, explains, “The Kiss Aging Goodbye campaign is what Watsons is all about. It’s an educational effort with a two-pronged approach, teaching our customers how to prevent the negative effects of aging by taking care of themselves inside and out. We are literally helping people ‘Look good. Feel great.’ And it’s a wonderful thing.” Here’s how the two-pronged approach works.

I discovered recently that Snail slime slow down the onset of wrinkles, blemishes and acne as well. Snail slime masks, the number one beauty product in Korea is now available at Buy 2 Take 1 at Watsons PH for only php110 or php55 each. This is much cheaper than Korean Facial Masks and as effective as well.

Watsons Snail lifting & moisturizing facial mask soothes, regenerates collagen and heals skin too. I tried this beauty gooey wonder January of this year and it did the tightening effect of the skin for a fraction of the price.

I have tried so many anti ageing products at Watsons for the last 2 years and I would recommend the L’Oreal Dermo Expertise Revitalift Range for wrinkle free skin, a skin care solution inspired by laser, that promises younger looking skin in 4 weeks.

I saw some facial masks with Collagen by Watsons Intensive Nourishing Facial Mask. It is enriched with Collagen and Vitamin E to repair dryness and enhance skin’s elasticity. I would try this and anything with collagen on is what I need today.

Feeling so great inside it shows on the outside- that’s the second lesson in keeping yourself young. Topicals and creams are a great start to your anti-aging regimen. A lot of the signs of aging we see on the outside is caused by the body breaking down on the inside. Calcium deficiency and lack of collagen are two common culprits. To help prevent a haggard look, you should give yourself the added nutrition you need in the form of food supplements and ingestible beauty aids. One of Watsons’ favorites is the iVi Collagen Ready-To-Drink, with 10,000 mg of Collagen that helps smoothen fine lines, and lighten dark spots for that forever-young glow.

There you have it, the ins and the outs of anti-aging according to Watsons. But before you run out to the store, we will leave you with three things to remember.

1)  If you want to keep your beauty longer, keep your beauty bases covered from nutrition to skincare, inside and out.

2)  You’re never too young to start looking old. Start preventive maintenance in your early 20s.

3)  There’s no better place to start your anti-aging regimen than the store that always brings you great beauty advice, amazing products, and fantastic prices. You got it! See you at Watsons for the Kiss Aging Goodbye sale!

Now you can #kissaginggoodbye. Look good and feel better at Watsons and avail of their anti-aging products until Sept. 21!

For 15 years, PlatoWraps has been quietly but assuredly serving value-for-money handheld meals to Filipinos on the go. When the family was given the opportunity to expand their bakery, they came up with something new for their customers. A true family effort, Tony Seen produced the flatbread that his wife, Kamela, decided worked better with filling. The plate-shaped sandwich was thus named Plato Wraps. From its first filling of chicken—a family recipe—Plato Wraps has launched a full menu, with Ham and Cheese, Yummy Tuna, Beef Gyro, and more. They also offer seasonal fillings, like Adoboritto, Cheese Pimiento, and Platopizza. 

It’s never been a better time for this enduring and successful brand. With the abundance of dining options available, Filipinos have become more discerning about what they eat and PlatoWraps fits right into what today’s busy cubicle-dwellers are looking for—portable, affordable, and healthy.

            PlatoWraps’ Founder and President, Kamela Seen and Brand Manager, Kreme Seen

“Customers are now more health-conscious. They understand products that are made with less preservatives and additives. They want food that is prepared fast without sacrificing the quality and taste, “says PlatoWraps Brand Manager Kreme Seen. That’s Plato Wraps to a tee. 

To celebrate their milestone and to keep up with the changing times, Plato Wraps has adopted a newer, more streamlined look. The green logo is inspired by their signature ridged flatbread, making their brand much more identifiable.

       Enjoy favorites to go healthy wrap meals with delicious fillings from PlatoWraps.


What’s more, Kamela, who heads kitchen duties, is also busy concocting new items to look forward to. PlatoWraps’ fans will be interested to learn that they’re developing a chia wrap, as well as experimenting with fillings like bean sprouts and gourmet tuyo. The most exciting part? Plato Wraps will also come out with package filling and flatbread that customers can take home and enjoy at their leisure.

A standalone store is also in the pipeline once the Seens’ nail a good location. A PlatoWraps “Café” so to speak would allow them to feature many other delectable items.

Fall in love and fill up with this wholesome treat and catch their new and exciting delightful wraps.

Ready for Wing Tuesdays? Troop to Buffalo Wild Wings store located in Estancia Mall

According to stories, Teressa Bellissimo cooked the very first plate of wings back 1964. She covered it with her own secret sauce and served it with some blue cheese and celery just because those were the only sides she had available.

Now there are two varying reasons why Ms Teressa came up with such delicious creation. The first was because her bar had accidentally received shipment of wings (instead of other chicken parts) and she had no choice but to make something out of it. And the second was that she made it for her son Dominic who was asking for a midnight snack.

But whatever the real reason was, the fact is that a bar will never be complete without Buffalo Wings on the menu.

It is this love for wings that friends Jim Disbrow and  Scott Lowery decided to put up Buffalo Wild Wings in Ohio back in 1982. 

And thankfully we don’t have to go to New York or Ohio to have a taste of authentic NY style buffalo wings, and better yet we can eat all the wings we can at half the price every Tuesday!

where customers can enjoy all the wings they can eat at half the regular price.

This insanely awesome treat runs on all Tuesdays of the week until August 30 and is available on all wing sizes (snack, small, medium and large) at Buffalo Wild Wings Estancia.

Of course, eating all the wings one can handle isn’t the only thing guests can do on a Tuesday. Buffalo Wild Wings is also the perfect hangout for those who love sports and beer with most seats offering a great view of the action-packed games shown on the restaurants wall-to-wall,  flat screen HDTVs it’s almost as if one is watching in a sports stadium.

Aside from its winning combination of wings, beer, and sports, the American casual dining restaurant also serves other delicious comfort fare and bar food including burgers, sandwiches and wraps, pizzas, appetizers and flat breads big enough to be shared. So consistently delicious is the food at Buffalo Wild Wings that it was recently awarded the Culinary Excellence Award.
