Check out five easy tips to help you stay organized throughout 2022

 

Hello, 2022! After taking the time to reflect on the past year, it’s time to get ready for new beginnings. Not sure where to start? For a truly clean slate, your first step should be to clear and rewire your brain. And what better way to do that than with some decluttering and organizing? With a clean, put-together space (and mind!), you can stay focused on your new goals. 

 

Check out five easy tips to help you stay organized throughout 2022. Below, you can also discover product recommendations from Shopee, your go-to source for organization items, essentials, and everything in between at the best prices: 

 

1. Write down your to-do list 

If you’ve got a lot on your plate, don’t attempt to keep your to-do list in your brain—this will only overwhelm and stress you out. Instead, stay on track with a planner. This Undated Planner from National Bookstore, perfect for fans of the hit TV show Friends, features undated pages and blank weekly pages on which you can jot down your checklists and more.

 

1. Set your priorities

 

Got a long to-do list? Don’t attempt to accomplish everything all at once. Set clear priorities by color-coding your planner. You can process each day’s tasks easily by just glancing at color-coded sticky notes. This set of Sticky Notes includes stationery in different colors and sizes. 

 

2. Manage your workload

How often have you taken on extra deliverables or said yes to engagements, only to realize that your calendar is too full? This year, take care of your mental health and say no when you have to. Stay on top of your schedule with a handy pocket-sized Animal Desk Calendar. These colorful calendars, which come in pretty pastel colors, feature monthly views. 

 

3. Keep your workspace tidy

 

It’s perfectly understandable if you don’t always have the time to keep your workspace spotless when you’re busy, but as much as possible, try to keep everything in its proper place. This Wooden Desk Organizer makes it easier to arrange your documents, notes, pens, and other supplies. 

 

4. Track your finances consistently

Spent more than you intended during the holidays? It’s fine to treat yourself, but remember to set some savings aside as well. Get your finances back on track this year with a Budget Planner. Place your budget for each week inside the binder pockets and jot down your expenditures on the colored labels.

Let’s all Roar with Confidence in 2022 with the Year of the Water Tiger

The Marites Allen 2022 Feng Shui Forecast livestream last December 26 and 27 was a roaring success, having been attended by feng shui followers in the Philippines and all over the world.  Due to the ongoing pandemic and made possible by online streaming technology, this is only the second time that Frigga Charmed Life mounted an online event where the video content was developed and shot entirely in London where Ms.Marites Allen currently resides.

 

The 2-hour show titled “Roar with Confidence in the Year of the Water Tiger” was delivered in four parts: a look back at the last Water Tiger year in 1962; the prognosis for this coming Water Tiger year in 2022; the lucky directions for the home and workplace; and the forecasts for the 12 Chinese zodiac signs. The Year of the Water Tiger comes full circle after 60 years and though history may not repeat itself, it was good to know what transpired in 1962 and the lessons learned that can guide us for the new year.

Having known about the past, moving forward, these are now some of the forecasts for industries that should take precautions and industries that can shine in 2022. Water-element industries, such as maritime, transport, aquaculture, and shipping, can explore new markets and have the potential to enjoy sustainable and profitable activities. Investments related to ports, rivers and maritime businesses should be good. Businesses developing innovative solutions and technologies should also be profitable. 

 

There will also be major changes, including the wider use of electronic banking and digital currencies. It will probably only be a matter of time that crypto will surely be a reserve currency of the future, alongside the US Dollar, silver, and gold.

 

For a more personal look into 2022, it is important to know the lucky directions for home and offices where we spend most of our time.  For positive areas, there are enhancers that you can use to activate the good vibes while for the not-so positive areas, there are cures to use to ward off the negative energies. The area of the house or office to watch out for is the center, which has the misfortune star for the year as it poses a threat to everyone which may include financial loss, misunderstandings, worries, accidents or even a danger to health of anyone in the family. Do not disturb the center area by avoiding renovations.  

 

As the third of the twelve Chinese zodiac signs, Tiger represents energy, strength, leadership, purposefulness, and protection, among others, but also vulnerability, sensitivity, overestimation, and an “all or nothing” attitude. With that being said, those born in the Tiger year are not exempt from the challenges that the year would bring. This and more were featured in the last and most exciting part in the livestream but instead of the usual individual rundown of the 12 animal signs and their forecasts for 2022, the signs were grouped into 3 categories according to what was written in their stars – the challenging (Tiger, Snake, Monkey and Boar), the trail blazers (Rat, Ox, Rabbit and Dragon), and the superstars in 2022 (Horse, Sheep, Rooster and Dog). 

 

The 2022 Destiny pillar shows all Yang elements, and is dominated by the Yang Tiger signs on its Day, Month, and Year Pillars.  This could bring a triple whammy to the Monkey-born, the conflict animal of the Tiger.  Yang animal signs belonging to the Tiger, Dragon, Horse, and Dog, will however be boosted by the energy of the year, as will the Monkey, notwithstanding its overall conflict challenges.  In contrast, the Rat, Ox, Snake, Rabbit, Sheep, Rooster, and Boar may have to take it easy this year, and proceed only with caution and determination.

 

To know more about the topics featured in the livestream, watch out for the re-run this coming January 2022 heading towards the Chinese New Year this February 1, 2022.  As always, feng shui forecasts serve as a guide and inspiration in daily life to harness energy forces and establish harmony between an individual and the environment. For cures, luck enhancers, and horoscope guides for the 2022 Water Tiger Year, visit www.frigga.com.ph or www.frigga.co.uk.

 

This is your year to get lucky! Let’s all Roar with Confidence in 2022 with the Year of the Water Tiger.

Ladies give yourself the gift of health and wellness with LifeFood

 

Listen up ladies: Don’t let premenstrual syndrome or PMS, menopause, and other women’s health concerns keep you from reaching your full potential and living life the way you want to. Now that the new year is here, give yourself the gift of health and wellness. Start taking better care of yourself at gawing mas buhay na buhay ang buhay with LifeFood.

 

LifeFood, a line of food supplements with natural ingredients derived from plants or marine life, is encouraging you to put yourself and your needs first. This 2022, give yourself something that can help maintain your wellbeing and achieve your specific health and wellness goals like improving hormonal balance, improving skin health, and managing weight. 

Below are four food supplements that LifeFood recommends women should add to their self-care must-haves.  

 

Evening primrose oil for hormonal balance. A natural source of omega-6 GLA (gamma linolenic acid) that aids in hormonal balance, evening primrose oil comes with several benefits for women’s health: from improving the skin to providing relief from PMS symptoms like hormonal acne and breast tenderness. Obtained from the evening primrose plant through cold-press oil extraction, LifeFood Evening Primrose Oil retains most of the plant’s nutrients while keeping the product chemical-free.

 

Hyaluronic acid for great skin and strong joints. A substance that’s naturally produced in the body, hyaluronic acid can help improve your skin’s elasticity and moisture content and decrease the appearance of wrinkles. It’s also known to provide hydration to the connective tissues, particularly the joints, and also speed up wound healing. LifeFood Injuv® Hyaluronic Acid is easily absorbed and clinically proven effective, as it acts as a sponge to hold onto water within the cells of the skin, connective tissue, and cartilage. 

 

CLA for maintaining healthy weight.  Not all fats are bad. Some, in fact, can be good for you. One of these include polyunsaturated fats like safflower oil, which is a great source of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) that can aid in maintaining a healthy weight by breaking down fats and increasing muscle mass. Combined with a balanced healthy diet and exercise, LifeFood Tonalin® CLA can help reduce up to 9% of body fat and increase the body's total lean muscle mass. A proprietary extract derived from safflower oil containing CLA, Tonalin® is the only CLA that’s been backed by 18 separate research studies, ensuring safety and effectiveness. 

  
EstroG-100 for more antioxidants. Antioxidants may be most known to slow down aging and lower your risk of health issues like heart diseases and cancer, and studies have shown that they can also help with the effects of certain biological processes like menopause by getting rid of free radicals and preventing or slowing down cell damage. 

 

Get more antioxidants to improve overall wellbeing and life during menopause with LifeFood EstroG-100 with Oxxynea. EstroG-100® is a proprietary standardized herbal root extract that’s clinically proven to alleviate common menopausal symptoms including hot flashes, night sweats, sleeping problems, and nervousness. Meanwhile, Oxxynea® is a whole food concentrate of fruit and vegetable extracts from antioxidant-rich red and white grape, bilberry, grapefruit, papaya, pineapple, strawberry, apple, apricot, cherry, orange, blackcurrant, green tea leaf, carrot, tomato, broccoli, green cabbage, onion, garlic, olive, cucumber, and asparagus.  

 

What’s more amazing about LifeFood supplements is that the brand carefully chooses the best ingredients that are supported by clinical research to prove their efficacy and to ensure that consumers get all the value and benefits each of these products provide. They are also standardized and undergo stringent product testing following pharma standards, making these supplements extra safe for every consumer. 

Dealing with PMS and menopausal symptoms may be a common occurrence, but they can affect you in many ways, impacting your confidence and keeping you from living your life to the fullest. You don’t need to suffer in silence and shrug off these concerns—make it your new year’s resolution to add LifeFood to your daily health routine now para mas maging buhay na buhay ang buhay!

EastWest fully vaccinates employees as it concludes FilVax program

EastWest’s FilVax organizing team pose for a group shot after a busy day 

at the FilVax vaccination supersite in Festival Mall, Alabang. 

 

 EastWest announces that it has successfully vaccinated its employees, consultants, and third-party hires, as well as non-affiliated individuals, as it completes its FilVax vaccination program this month.

The FilVax vaccination program, a joint initiative by EastWest and parent company Filinvest Development Corporation saw regional legs established in various areas in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, starting with the Filinvest Mega Vaccination Center at the Festival Mall in Alabang, Muntinlupa.

FilVax officially wrapped up on December 4, after four months of administering the doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine procured by Filinvest Group. The program saw over 1,600 people who were not yet vaccinated through the local government units’ effective vaccination drives directly receive the vaccine, with majority of the recipients being employees and third-party hires from the National Capital Region.

To help increase the vaccination rate in the country, the Bank also allowed already-vaccinated employees through private programs or LGUs to nominate substitutes, and even opened the program to employees’ family members and friends. Through this, FilVax was able to vaccinate an additional 400 people.

In addition to vaccinating employees and non-affiliated individuals, the FilVax program also donated over 17,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine to many local government units in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, in order to further boost the vaccination coverage in the Philippines. 

“Despite the challenges present, we are happy to have hurdled them and achieved our mission of vaccinating more Filipinos, helping all of us reclaim our lives and get back to normal faster,” said EastWest Executive Director Isabelle Gotianun Yap. “To ensure continued protection of our employees, employees will also be given booster shots upon reaching the recommended time after the 2nd dose,” Yap added. 

“EastWest is especially thankful to its responsible EastWestbankers, who understood the civic duty they had to perform in taking the vaccine. Achieving herd immunity in the Bank is truly a wonderful achievement during these challenging times,” said EastWest Human Resources AVP Marian Hernandez.

Jollibee launched initiatives for the convenience and comfort of its partner riders

Jollibee has consistently delivered its Alagang Jollibee brand of customer service to ensure that it provides only the safest and highest quality of customer experience. And now, Jollibee is extending Alagang Jollibee to a vital group of people who continuously make life a tad bit easier—the ever-reliable delivery riders. They are the ones who move around and bring your food and other essentials and serve as the brand’s partner to reach more customers even amid quarantine restrictions.

 

To show appreciation for these hardworking riders, Jollibee goes the extra mile in thanking them by making sure they are also well cared for when they visit Jollibee stores. 

 

Jollibee recently launched initiatives for the convenience and comfort of its partner riders, which are anchored on the values of Alagang Jollibee. Free water refills are offered, and a free regular-sized iced tea is also available upon request when they pick up orders at the store. This way, they can enjoy some refreshments before they go back on the road to bring the joy of Jollibee meals to customers.

 Select Jollibee stores also provide phone charging stations so riders can make sure they can continue fulfilling transactions throughout the day. There are also stores that equip its crew with speakers and lapels for safer and more efficient coordination with riders when dispatching orders. 

 

“We appreciate the hard work and effort of our partner delivery riders as we continue to bring our customers’ favorite Jollibee meals safely and conveniently. As part of our Alagang Jollibee promise, we want to do our part in helping them carry out their tasks while on the road. They have played a key role in bringing joy especially during this pandemic and we hope to do the same for them,” said Arline B. Adeva, AVP and Head of Brand PR, Engagement and Digital Marketing of Jollibee. 

 

Jollibee will continue to roll out the above-mentioned initiatives for riders in more stores nationwide. 

Late last year, Jollibee also participated in Grab Philippines’ “Araw ng Tagapaghatid” and Foodpanda’s “Ka-Panda Day” initiatives for their respective riders by giving out limited food coupons as a way of giving thanks for their service. More than 36,000 GrabFood riders and 50,000 Foodpanda riders received a free Jolly Spaghetti coupon, which they claimed in participating stores for a specific period.
