Danarra Aromatherapy Oil Green tea relieves anxiety and provides calm mood

When I was younger, I remember the time when my father always had a liniment on a small bottle  ready on his pocket. When he is stressed out, or before going to bed at night.  You could see him reached out for that cute bottle and rubbing the liniment on his temples, wrist and neck.  It calmed him. I associate the liniment and its "old scent" to him. Up to this day, he always carry a liniment or two with him,  but this time, he switched to another brand he found in the mall. He told that he loves the new generation liniment balms in the market today because it doesnt smell like lolo unlike before. It has that refreshing calming scent. I guess he is referring to Danarra Aromatherapy Oil in 6 variants.

Just like my father, I also carry my liniments with me, I have it in cream, balm, roll-on and a cute jar. I guess I have around 5 balms in my bag. In case, I lost one, I have 4 to alternately use.  I need those especially nowadays that I had a hard time sleeping. It calms and help me sleep better.

I just learned about  Danarra recently, because I was invited to its launch. I love that every roll-ons  has that sweet calming scent to it, and it is affordable.

Danarra Aromatherapy Oil  is only P89 a piece. So you can collect the entire set.
My personal favorite is their Danarra Green Tea Clear Mind  which helps to relax, calm and soothe making you feel fresh and energized the whole day.

Danarra Aromatherapy Oil was recently launched last September 4 at Hyatt BGC Hotel. The launch was attended by celebrity mom Ms. Karla Estrada and some influencers/media.

Ms. Karla Estrada talks about her life with the kids. How she spend quality time  with the family. When pressed for advice, she told that  one should be "generous" in life in order to receive abundant of blessings. 

To cope with stress, we all have our ways of dealing with it. Some people enjoy a nice dessert, go for a workout, watch a movie, or spend time with friends and family. Effective as these may be, they aren’t things that you can easily do in any situation. 

Look into the pockets or purses of young professionals and you will likely find a soothing balm. For many, soothing balms are a source of comfort. They help relieve symptoms of motion sickness and even headaches. They are also a great way to offer comfort for sore muscles, stiffness, bruising, or sprains and strains.

The truth is, most Filipinos would rather make use of these than drink medicine. It’s a habit that has been ingrained in our culture. The tradition of using soothing balms continues to be passed from one generation to the next. 

The most common scent used for these balms is the camphor or menthol scent. Some find relaxation in them but there are many users who would wish for smells that aren’t as overbearing. 

This dilemma is what gave birth to Danarra Aromatherapy Oil! It gives the same benefits of other soothing balms that we love BUT with the added bonus of fine fragrance oils. Thus, the effects are enhanced by the relaxing and refreshing fragrances.

The name Danarra is derived from the word “Nadarra,” which, in the Scottish Gaelic vocabulary means “natural.” Celtic knots were chosen to become its symbol because Danarra and the Celtic knots connote interconnectedness between a person and nature. 

Danarra Aromatherapy Oil helps boost mental activity, provide a calming effect, helps relieve headache and nervous exhaustion and restlessness, make you feel fresh and energized, lift your mood and relieve stress.

Beware of The Nun

The Nun is by far the most suspenseful and scariest movie that Ive seen this year.

 I think the only times that I wasnt scared or screaming was when I had eyes closed or when I had my hands all over my face.

 It has all the ingredients of a suspense horror movie. It was  never boring and succeed in scaring the shit out of me.


I swear, I dont want to get near a nun anytime soon.  The only downside to all these scary moments was that by the end of the movie I just wanted to kill Valak altogether.

Please bring someone braver with you when you watch this movie.

Forgive Us Our Trespasses


A young nun at an abbey in Transylvania has committed the ultimate sin: taking her own life.  Now it is imperative that the church determine if the ground is still holy, or if evil has compromised the Abbey of St. Carta.

To address the dire situation, the Vatican enlists the expertise of Father Burke, a clergyman from Philadelphia and one of only a few skilled in testing the validity of miracles and darker phenomenon.

Safran reveals that the role of the cleric was written with Mexico native Demian Bichir in mind, noting, “We knew we needed somebody who would embody the gravitas that Father Burke would have to possess, but who could also convey a man struggling with his faith.  Demian is a brilliant actor who played each facet of the character believably.  We all loved him from his previous work so, truly, he was the first and only call we made.” 

Describing his role, Bichir says, “Father Burke is a man of faith and a demon hunter who believes it is possible to save the world one demon at a time.  He is a fighter on different fronts; however, he is also haunted by his own demons, and that is the real battle he faces every day of his life.”

The last time Father Burke dealt with the demon hunting aspect of his priestly duties, a terrible tragedy occurred.  Almost a decade has passed, and he still maintains a safe distance between himself and the investigative fray because he is still deeply conflicted by those disturbing events.  Despite his unease, Father Burke is bound to comply with the Cardinal’s wishes.

“Once you take your vows, you’ve promised to be God’s soldier for life,” says Bichir.  “As a soldier you don’t contradict orders; you don’t refuse any call.”
Regardless of his own reservations, Father Burke is committed to the task at hand.  To prepare, he dusts off his WWII chaplain’s kit containing his spiritual tools—holy water, a silver cross necklace, a crucifix and Bible—and sets out on the uncertain road ahead.  At the direction of the Vatican, joining Father Burke on the quest, is Sister Irene, a novitiate at St. Vincent’s Hospital in England.

Taissa Farmiga says, “I think Sister Irene believes this is going to be a straightforward mission.  She doesn’t know how extreme this journey will be, or what kind of emotional strength she will have to muster.  And I don’t think she was ready for the evil existing in the abbey.”

Bichir notes, “At first, her size fools Father Burke, but even though Sister Irene is petite and may look fragile, he learns she can be feisty and I think Father Burke admires that.  Sister Irene is very strong because her spirit is strong.”

Like Father Burke, Sister Irene also has a past littered with pain, and while her troubled youth may have led her to the convent, it is also why she has yet to take her vows.  “She is also dealing with inner demons,”

Farmiga observes.  “As a child, she had visions and dreams that haunted her.  As a young woman, the church had welcomed her and encouraged her to devote herself to God by becoming a nun, and she willingly followed that because as she got on that path, the visions faded away.  But she never really got an answer for them, and I think the reason she was so open to going on this journey was finding the truth.  She is questioning her future, asking: ‘Am I doing what I’m supposed to be doing?’” 

The shadow Sister Irene’s doubt casts on her faith is a feeling Father Burke understands all too well, and the director loved the yin and yang of the two characters.

“Father Burke is this slightly eccentric, grizzled priest,” says Hardy.  “There is a kind of fatherly quality in the stern way he cares for Sister Irene. 

 He had this shattering experience in his past, and he can’t let anything like that happen to her.  He’s desperate to keep her from perishing, both physically and spiritually.  Sister Irene is naïve and unsure, and as she endures this ordeal of fear she has to find her strength.

“Their charisma, individually and as a unit, really comes through in Taissa’s and Demian’s performances,” Hardy continues.  “There’s a truth and an authenticity in their acting.”

Maybe a little too much authenticity.  Farmiga invested so deeply in her character that she actually battled nightmares over the course of the production.  Hardy offers, “Taissa is an incredibly gifted actress and in creating the fear her character goes through, she was constantly faced with these terrifying visions and traumatizing moments.   She really went the distance in getting Sister Irene to respond the way she does, so the audience can feel it too.  I’m indebted to her for that.”

Farmiga responds, “Working with Corin was amazing because he’s so artistic and creative and was so good at getting to the emotional fear.  It’s not just plain fear.  What else is driving it?  Is there a sadness?  Is there a longing?  He’s so passionate about everything and he seems to have such a sweet soul…until he suddenly puts a picture of a demon nun in your face and you’re like, ‘I didn’t know your mind was capable of such terrible things,’” she teases.

Although the Vatican had assured Father Burke that Sister Irene had experience in the region, she informs him that she has never set foot there.  And that is not the only mystery they must unravel, either within the castle or about each other.  Both are still living with things in their past that make them vulnerable to whatever force it is they are facing.  But it also creates a bond between them.

Likewise, the two actors bonded during their time on location in Romania.  “You don’t have months to connect on a film; you have to do it right away, so I was lucky I had Taissa,” Bichir shares.  “I admire her so much.  She has such wonderful qualities, not only as an actor but as a person.”
\
The admiration is mutual.  “Demian is such a funny guy, he has a big personality,” says Farmiga.  “He’s full of life and energy and love for everything,” she comments.  “As an actor he is incredible and brought so much emotion to Father Burke.”

As Sister Irene and Father Burke depart Rome and leave the modern world of 1952 behind for the small village of Biertan in Transylvania, it is as if the clock has turned back and they are entering the Medieval ages.  A dirt road is the main thoroughfare and their guide’s mode of transportation is a horse-drawn wagon.

Frenchie, as he is known in town, is a local and can take them to the abbey.  He is also the unlucky soul who discovered the suicide while delivering supplies there.  Frenchie informs them he was wary of the abbey, just like the rest of the townspeople, long before he found a body there.

Filmmakers cast French actor Jonas Bloquet to star as the superstitious French-Canadian.  A self-described “huge fan” of both “The Conjuring” and its sequel, Bloquet says, “I saw both films multiple times in the cinema, and I loved the script for ‘The Nun,’ so being part of this movie is one of the best experiences of my career.”

Hardy thought Bloquet’s character, sprinkled with Dauberman’s signature humor, was another great layer to the story.  He confirms, “Frenchie is a lovable rogue and part of this odd trio with a priest and a nun, who may look at the world differently, but are stuck together for the time being.  There’s some inherent humor there, and Jonas really brought that out.”

Dauberman adds, “To me, Frenchie was such an important character because you need levity and to offset the scares; those lighter moments make horror all the darker.  Jonas can get really dark, but he’s also really funny.  I love what he brought to the character of Frenchie.”



While Father Burke carries holy water and Sister Irene prayer beads, Frenchie wields an axe and a shotgun.  Bloquet describes, “Frenchie is a very physical guy, and very strong. He’s down to earth and, at first, he seems like just the funny charming French guy who can’t say no to a pretty face.”

However, there is more to Frenchie than meets the eye.  
Bloquet continues, “Frenchie isn’t sure exactly what’s happening in the abbey, but he does know it’s not a good place to be and he does not want to stay there.  He is conflicted, though, because he doesn’t want to leave Sister Irene; he feels as protective as Father Burke.”

As the turrets of the imposing castle housing the abbey suddenly loom ahead, Frenchie’s horse, sensing danger, comes to a halt.  Forced to finish the trek on foot, they are met by an ominous sight…

Although the nun’s body was removed from the suicide site weeks ago, the swath of blood on the steps to the abbey is still wet to the touch.  How is that even possible?

Hypersonic Signal Beams for Christian Bables

Christian Bables has cemented a place of his own in the acting world, following a win at the Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino, for his portrayal of Intoy in Signal Rock. Christian has proven to all and sundry that he is an actor to reckon with. He has also erased the notion that he was stuck to playing gay roles.



While he played the “bagtik” (astig in Tagalog), Intoy who decides to remain in a remote island with his family and courageously climbs steep rock formations just to get a cellphone signal in Signal Rock, Christian in reality is also a “bagtik” actor - camera ready, focused and steadfast.

His most recent triumph, a Special Jury Award for Outstanding Acting in Signal Rock (while the movie won the Critics’ Choice Award at the Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino), is an amplified signal that all the forces of the universe are aligned in his favor.

Describing his acting style, Christian says, “Each actor has his own style of dealing with life. That is the main purpose of acting, to deal with the truth of life. Ang mga actors, merong reference na technique pero the acting skill should be coming from who you are as a person and your sensibility as a person. For me, there’s no specific style in acting. Only your own style of dealing with life.”

What does he look for in a role? “I often look for the core of the story at sa puso ng karakter. As an artist, I also try to find a way how to relate the character to me. If there’s a common denominator then it’s easy to connect to the role.”



He is passionate about his work as he is with life. “I always believe that everything is about choices. As long as I choose what is right and do what satisfies my heart and God, then I’ll be fine. I just have to put my trust in God and let go. His purpose is always better than the promises of this world.”



A keen observer of people, Christian values the importance of training and preparation. He arrives on the movie set ahead of time, ready to face the cameras. It may sound weird but Christian dreams of playing a suicide bomber. “Its life has many colors of different shades.”



He refuses to be defined by popularity alone saying that being famous is just part of being an actor.  “Neither will it define you nor make you as a person. I keep myself intact to my truth.”



On the television front, Christian pits talents with Jericho Rosales and Sam Milby in the ABS-CBN teleserye Halik. Other projects are being negotiated.



Christian Bables is co-managed by Asian Artists Agency, Inc. For inquiries, please call (02) 855-4765 or (02) 405-4423, email info@asianartistsagency.com, and visit fb.com/asianartistsagency

Electrolux find solutions to your most common laundry dilemmas from FashionCare Season 2 campaign

Before I buy any clothes, I usually take into consideration texture of the garments,  if tags on most of my clothes instruct to hand wash, or dry-clean. I am very hands on with my clothes especially with the branded ones.  I have scheduled laundry on weekends.

I only hand wash delicates and my underwears. The rest I put in my washing machine using only organic laundry liquid/powder to reduce the effects of color loss over time especially on dark tops, dresses and jackets.

Just like Electrolux PH  FashionCare Ambassador Rajo Laurel,  my laba tip is always use a mesh bag for undies, bras and delicate tops/dresses. To prevent them from wringing and losing its shape.



Electrolux PH recently launched FashionCare Season 2 Party graced by Electrolux Philippines FashionCare Ambassador Rajo Laurel and FashionCare Council Members Amina Aranaz-Alunan and Janice Villanueva last August 30 at White Space Makati.

The Electrolux Ambassadors put the UltimateCare washer-dryer to the test by washing their most delicate fabrics. While waiting for their clothes, they have given tips on how to take care of their most delicate fabrics to the audience.

Electrolux Philippines Ambassador Rajo Laurel told that he usually put any beaded clothes inside any stocking or mesh bag to prevent it from breaking loose or catching other garments.

Washing machines have become a reliable partner of many Filipino households in doing their laundry as it saves more time than washing by hand. Yet when it comes to caring for clothes, many women still have trust issues when it comes to their washing machines. That is the concern that Electrolux seeks to address as it launches the second season of its FashionCare Campaign, which seeks to change the way women do their laundry.

Laundry Woes 

To find out more about women’s laundry woes, Electrolux Philippines conducted a research in partnership with Mommy Mundo, one of the country’s leading mom communities. When asked about what fabrics they were afraid to wash using their washing machine, 67% of the respondent moms say that they are afraid to machine wash their silk clothing, followed by delicate wear (52%), cashmere clothing (40%), and wool clothing (39%).

Among the top reasons why women hesitate to put their clothes in washing machines are more than half of them or 58% think it might ruin the clothes, while some think that machine wash can cause fabric shrinkage (17%) or fading of colors (4%).

When it comes to doing laundry, moms worry about more than just cleaning. Among their top 3 laundry concerns are pilling of clothes or what we call himulmol, stubborn stains and misshaping of clothes - two of them are related to caring for the fabric. Fabric care remains one of the unfulfilled needs of moms as 77% of these women look for fabric care features when they buy washing machines.

The FashionCare Challenge

With women’s laundry concerns in mind, Electrolux created the UltimateCare line of washing machines and dryers, designed to help women care for their clothes.

At the FashionCare Season 2 Launch Party, Electrolux Philippines FashionCare Ambassador Rajo Laurel and FashionCare Council Members Amina Aranaz-Alunan and Janice Villanueva put the UltimateCare washer-dryer to the test.

Renowned fashion designer and Electrolux FashionCare Ambassador Rajo Laurel challenged Electrolux to wash one of his designer pieces.

“My passion for clothes extends to how I take care of them. Doing your laundry is more than just about making your clothes clean. It’s making sure that your clothes look better, newer, longer,” shared Rajo during the event. 

Meanwhile Amina Aranaz-Alunan, founder, executive director and teacher of SoFA Design Institute, and Creative Director of fashion accessories and bag label ARANÁZ, put in a silk scarf, saying that she normally wouldn’t wash silk tops, scarves, knitted items and sweaters in the wash as they “might break, have holes or snag.”

Janice Villlanueva, successful mompreneur and founder of Mommy Mundo, likewise shared the same apprehensions.

“For items like formal wear, underwear, and knits, I’m always afraid to put it in the wash because it can damage the fabric and it will fade or get deformed,” Villanueva said. “Especially if the bras have underwire, or for formal clothes, it might shrink, or for knitwear, it might stretch out of shape.”
