ELYSE : Unleashing Transformed Confidence through Aesthetic Enhancements

"Confidence, reimagined," signifies a transformative shift in self-assurance and mindset. It encapsulates the process of breaking free from self-doubt, embracing strengths, and celebrating newfound belief in one's abilities. Dr. Anne Caoile and Dr. Marj Salazar, through their cosmetic surgeries and aesthetic treatments, witness this metamorphosis in their patients.

Dr. Anne, who pursued her medical studies at the Far Eastern University-Dr. Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation (FEU-NRMF), trained in General Surgery for two years and specialized in Cosmetic Surgery in South Korea and the Philippines. She oversees Elyse Aesthetics' diverse range of transformative surgical procedures, including Rhinoplasty, Blepharoplasty, 360 Liposuction, and more. Renowned for tailoring the renowned "Turkey Barbie Nose" to the Filipino facial structure, Dr. Anne dedicates herself to bringing joy to people through her surgical artistry.

Dr. Marj, on the other hand, is celebrated for her artistic flair and meticulous attention to detail. A former dean's lister during her nursing studies and an academic scholar at FEU-NRMF Medicine, her expertise spans Botox, Fillers, and Threads. Her mastery of non-surgical facelifts, anti-aging treatments, and profile balancing, acclaimed at esteemed conventions, fosters positive transformations, enabling her patients to rediscover their boundless potential and step into their own light.

Many patients approach them with distinct aspirations, whether preparing for a significant life event, recovering from personal challenges, or pursuing long-held dreams. Their procedures, such as Belotero fillers for restoring volume on hollowed temples, sunken under eyes, cheeks, and thinning lips, breathe freshness and youthfulness into their appearances. The clinic's signature 15-minute nose lift, a fusion of nose threads and fillers, has garnered admiration since 2019. Dr. Marj skillfully mimics the effects of a chin augmentation using five fillers, providing a non-surgical alternative to those seeking transformative results without the associated downtime.

For one patient undergoing a separation after three decades, the Elyse European Threadlift-Aptos, a leading nonsurgical facelift worldwide, became a metaphorical unveiling of her true radiance beneath emotional scars, turning back the clock by 5-10 years. Another patient, aged 52, sought the iconic Elyse Barbie Nose surgery, realizing a childhood dream of a beautifully crafted nose. This transformational journey has empowered many to leave behind past struggles and embrace newfound confidence and opportunity.

These enhancements serve as catalysts for self-care, risk-taking, and embracing challenges with unwavering determination. For instance, a patient undergoing Elyse 360 Liposuction + Bodytite witnessed a radical lifestyle change post-surgery, kickstarting a gym routine and a complete shift in mindset. This procedure, capable of removing up to five liters of fats and tightening the skin, marked the beginning of a fearless new life.

Aesthetic treatments possess the remarkable ability to unlock an individual's potential, fostering resilience, perseverance, and a tenacious spirit in the face of challenges. Through cosmetic surgeries and aesthetic treatments, individuals experience a profound transformation, emboldening them to fearlessly pursue their aspirations, and embrace life with newfound confidence, authenticity, and self-belief—an ultimate aspiration for all patients at Elyse Aesthetics.

Responsible holiday shopping right at your fingertips

The holiday shopping season has definitely arrived. Along with the festive spirit comes that feeling of anxiety, born out of the need to strike a balance between satisfying your Christmas lists and sticking to a healthy budget.

As everyone's flush with their 13th-month pay and other holiday bonuses, it is all too easy to give in to temptation and indulge. With the allure of sales and promos all around, harmless window shopping can instantly turn into an overwhelming urge to splurge.

The good news is that by going digital we can all become more responsible holiday shoppers. 

Pay yourself first

This is proven to be the easiest and most rewarding financial habit you need to adopt. Instead of spending money immediately, set aside a portion of your income the moment you receive it. And to make the process simpler, you can easily transfer funds electronically from your payroll straight to your separate savings account through your banks’ mobile-app. Now that’s a savvy way to save! 


Ready your list and set a budget

With a little planning and cash management, you can stretch your hard-earned peso and still meet your savings and expense goals. It helps to prepare a list of the people you plan to give presents to and have a set budget for each of them. Various apps such as “Mint” and “Wally” help you easily track your finances on the go.


Find the best online deals and rewards 

Avoid the holiday traffic rush and take advantage of coupon codes, eVouchers, and live discounts which are all up for grabs online. E-commerce stores also offer great sales during the holiday season.


Borrow responsibly, if you must

If you absolutely need a little extra cash to help you through a month when your expenses are slightly higher than expected, mobile-apps are a convenient and affordable solution - offering purpose-based financing with the lowest non-bank interest rates. Their offerings make it easy for you to buy the items you want by providing access to a digital credit line at 0% installment rates from a network of over a hundred partner retail stores.


Smartphones can be really helpful tools for developing responsible spending habits, and powerful apps empower you with more options to be financially prudent. Not only does it encourage you to use your money wisely, but it also improves your financial well being by helping build a robust financial identity and positive credit score. Being a responsible consumer and making timely payments, unlocks even more financing options providing greater flexibility. 

Financial apps, are a welcome addition to the digital revolution that is helping enhance our lifestyles even more. And as with all things these days, it pays to be smart about it.

Pangasinan, fully prepared to showcase its stunning creations at its debut in Manila FAME

The province of Pangasinan, after a four-decade-long wait, is poised to showcase its abundance of artisan creations at international events, starting with Manila FAME. Under the ABOUND project, which identifies artisans and offers coaching and mentorship, the province has selected ten Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) known for delivering world-class "Made in Pangasinan" creativity. This project marks the first time these MSMEs are being brought together to participate in a prestigious trade exhibition.

With the full support of Pangasinan Governor Ramon V. Guico III, leaders from the province's towns of Binalonan and Bolinao, and local agencies, the Governor presented these ten MSMEs during the project's recent launch. These MSMEs were chosen for their exceptional and export-quality artistry, producing everything from luxurious fashion pieces and tropical-inspired home furnishings to creative products highlighting the province's rich heritage and agricultural bounty.

Manila FAME, the Philippines' premier trade show, is making its long-awaited return on-site at the World Trade Center from October 19-21, 2023, after a three-year hiatus. This return also marks the participation of the province of Pangasinan, a remarkable event considering it's their first in four decades.

Governor Guico emphasizes the role of MSMEs in fostering inclusive economic growth within the province. Their participation in events like Manila FAME not only promotes the diverse creative industries but also accelerates trade and exportation, contributing to economic development. He believes that these MSMEs represent the epitome of "Made in Pangasinan" and embody the essence of the province's motto, "Pangasinan, Ang Galing."

Among the featured artisans, Herwin Buccat, also known as Herwitanyo, from Bolinao, is a painter renowned for his surrealist and nature-fantasy-inspired artwork. With the guidance of the ABOUND Team, his artwork has been translated into various art merchandise, including notebooks, tumblers, and apparel.

Hailing from Pozorrubio, Blades is known for producing swords featured in Hollywood films. The ABOUND project has helped transform these collector's items into high-quality chef knives and fashionable accessories.

Erastus from Sto. Tomas is a furniture maker who has been guided by Project ABOUND to create modernized designs that rejuvenate home and office spaces.

ILO, based in Laoac, produces home accessories from locally sourced materials. Through the project, they have expanded their designs using industrial materials, making them suitable for the luxury market.

WELAB (Women Empowerment Livelihood Association of Binalonan) has transitioned from producing ordinary recycled market bags to crafting upcycled handbags considered as a signature collection.

Alma from Pozorrubio specializes in ethnic droplights. Their products, after consistent collaboration and material research, are now characterized by rustic elegance.

Rach, based in Aguilar, is a maker of bamboo bags. With regular design and product development guidance, their fashion accessories have evolved into chic crystal-embellished bags.

Cawayan, from Bolinao, utilizes buri to create bags and mat products. The ABOUND team has helped them create inspired, signature bags.

Joy, based in Basista, uses corn husks and bangkuang for home accessories and fashion bags. The project has transformed their designs from a natural look to a classic luxury aesthetic.

The youngest among these MSMEs, B6 (Blessed 6), has developed seven collections of espadrilles with the support of Mayor Ramon Ronald V. Guico IV. These espadrilles will be launched in both domestic and international markets.

Pangasinan's participation in Manila FAME was made possible through the Artisan Empowerment Association (AEA), which aims to uplift MSMEs in Pangasinan, particularly those specializing in handcrafted creations. This initiative was conceived by esteemed businesswoman and Chair of the Board of the World Citi Group, Arlyn Guico, and industry expert, entrepreneur, and CEO of luxury brand Mele + Marie, Rosemarie Oamil. They aim to showcase the untapped potential of the province and provide opportunities for its artisans to reach a broader market.

Ms. Guico notes that the Artisan Empowerment Association equips budding designers and entrepreneurs with capacity-building resources and opportunities such as mentorship and training programs, enabling them to uplift their lives and communities. Rosemarie Oamil emphasizes their vision to help Pangasinan-based artisans reach their highest potential through quality assurance and business development.

Witness the extraordinary creations of these top Pangasinan MSMEs up close at Manila FAME, which takes place from October 19-21, 2023, at the World Trade Center.

Help your immune system during the flu season

The wet season is here! As much as we love the rain, so do the bacteria and viruses, which cause common colds and flu. While these microbes are present all-year-round, the wet and humid weather are perfect hosts for them to lurk even more.

While it is given that you need to be extra careful during heavy downpours, especially when you are pregnant, it also pays to take note of the other measures that can help you maintain a strong immune system, which acts as your body’s first line of defense against cold and flu viruses.

Generally, there is no cure to common colds and flu, that is why prevention is the best approach to ensure that you do not contract the viruses, which cause these illnesses.

For Dr. Marissa Romero, an obstetrician and gynecologist, as well as a wellness expert, keeping a healthy lifestyle is key to ensuring a healthy immune system.

“We have some habits that we, especially women, need to change to ensure that our body, including our immune system, remains in its tiptop condition. And, while we are currently facing a global health crisis, it might also be the perfect time for a lifestyle change,” she added.

As an OB-GYN doctor, she recommends all her patients to follow the NEW START acronym:

Nutrition

Proper nutrition plays an important role in keeping your immune system healthy. While eating a well-balanced diet is important, it also pays to try a plant-based diet.

A plant-based diet consists mostly or entirely of food derived from plants, such as vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, and minimal or no animal products. While it strikes as a vegetarian, it is not necessarily the case.

Romero noted that, if possible, eat your greens and fruits fresh, as if eating a garden salad. “By doing so, you can ensure that you take all the nutrients. Sometimes, nutrients are eliminated in the vegetables when you cook them, which means that you only get just small amounts, as well as the fiber,” she added.

Another way of ensuring that you get the nutrients from a plant-based diet is by consuming organic food supplements.

For instance, Santé, a leading provider of premier organic health and wellness products, has Santé Barley. As the company’s flagship product, Santé Barley, is organic pure barley grass that is certified by BioGro, New Zealand’s leading organic certification agency.

Barley grass has been a subject of interest in the scientific community due to the nutrients you can get from it. A study published in Czech J. Food Sci., barley grass contains significant amounts of proteins, dietary fibers, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. Among these nutrients are beta-glucans and Vitamin C, which both help maintain a healthy immune system.

“For my patients, especially those who are expectant mothers, I always recommend to them to take Santé Barley from the early trimester and even after they gave birth,” said Dr. Romero.

Another important nutrient that you can get from a plant-based diet is Vitamin C, an essential vitamin, which plays a big role in keeping the body away from illnesses, such as common colds and flu, which weaken the immune system.

Romero said that our body does not produce this Vitamin on its own. So, you should take it from other sources like citrus fruits and other vegetables. “The food that we eat, on the other hand, might not be enough to get the right amount of Vitamin C that is why we need to take supplements,” she added.

To help boost your immune system, Dr. Romero explained that you can consider doing a vitamin C flush or bowel tolerance test. This process delivers a high dosage of vitamin C to achieve tissue saturation, which in turn supports the immune system and rapid healing.

When choosing the right vitamin C, Dr. Romero said that it pays to consider the non-acidic one. Santé’s Daily C, for instance, is an excellent choice. Aside from being non-acidic, it also contains 568mg of sodium ascorbate. It is also a perfect partner for Santé Barley for better immunity.


Exercise 

Keeping yourself active is also important. Everyone is encouraged to exercise at least three to four times a week, regularly, but if you can do it daily, that would be better. For adults, daily exercise should be at least 30 minutes while an hour for kids.

Water

Staying hydrated is also important for your health and wellbeing. Dr. Romero recommends drinking eight to nine glasses of clean water every day. “It should not be sugary drinks, such as soda and other juices,” she added.

Sunlight

Regular sun exposure is the most natural way to get enough Vitamin D, which id good for the bone and in maintaining healthy blood levels. The perfect time to go outside for a 10 to 30-minute sun exposure per week is between 10 to 11 in the morning, says Dr. Romero. Your skin must be reddish to ensure that you get enough Vitamin D. Aside from this benefit, the sunlight is also a natural antibacterial or antiviral.

Temper (or Emotions)

Keeping your temper down also helps in your overall wellbeing. If you feel like you are always angry or any negative emotions, you need to take a moment to relax.

If you feel stressed out, angry, anxious, or tired, a simple box breathing exercise can help you clear out your mind. This exercise involves simple steps. First, you need to let out all the air in your lungs and keep it empty for four seconds. And then, inhale slowly, leaving your lungs full, also for four counts. You may repeat doing it all over again until you feel relieved and relaxed.

Air

Another important aspect is the quality of the air you breathe. Make sure that the air circulates the area where you live, especially now that most of us are still advised to stay at home as much as possible. Having plants at home will help remove toxins and purify the air you breathe.

Rest 

When you sleep, your body restores and repairs various functions--this is also the reason why you need to take a rest to help you fight common colds and flu. Every day, it is advised that you have at least eight to nine hours of sleep.

When it is time for bed, Dr. Romero recommends that your bedroom is dark to help produce melatonin, a hormone primarily released by the pineal gland, which regulates the sleep-wake cycle.


Trust (Faith)

To gain inner strength and peace, especially amid the current global health crisis, it is very important to have a strong faith.

Johnson's BidaBest Squad: Advocating for Healthy Kid's Hair

Johnson's, a trusted name in baby and child care products, has embarked on a new journey by introducing its inaugural Johnson's BidaBest Squad. Comprised of four spirited and dynamic kids, this squad is on a mission to demonstrate the significance of using age-appropriate shampoo for children's hair care.

In April, Johnson's initiated the search for its first-ever kidfluencer squad, in collaboration with 90s hair icon and now celebrity mom, Jolina Magdangal-Escueta. With the support of Johnson's celebrity mombassador, Jolina, and her BidaBest daughter, Vika, they kick-started the search with an engaging dance video. This video, showcasing their impressive dance moves and healthy hair, quickly gained popularity, inspiring moms and kids alike to participate in the #JohnsonsBidaBest Challenge.

From thousands of entries nationwide, only 20 finalists were selected to proceed to the next round of challenges. These finalists had to create a video explaining why they deserved a coveted spot in the Top 4 of the Johnson's BidaBest Squad. In their videos, mothers and their BidaBest kids emphasized the importance of using Johnson's Active Kids shampoo for soft, shiny, and smooth hair. Ultimately, four remarkable kids emerged victorious.

In a nationwide television broadcast, Johnson's proudly introduced the first-ever Johnson's BidaBest Squad. The BidaBestie Gwyn and Larra Sarmiento, BidaBestie Marius and Michelle Lee, BidaBestie Euni and Fatima Manlunas, and BidaBestie Kylie and Michelle Salcedo, along with celebrity mombassador Jolina Magdangal-Escueta, gathered to celebrate this momentous occasion.

The event shed light on a vital aspect of children's hair care that often goes unnoticed. Johnson's Baby Franchise Lead, Isa Lacson-Ruiz, emphasized the importance of using specially formulated shampoo for kids with delicate and still-developing hair. Kids' hair is typically two times thinner than adult hair, making it crucial to choose a shampoo that is gentle on their hair and scalp. Johnson's Active Kids Shampoo effectively removes dirt and excess oils without causing harm, supporting healthy hair development.

The newly formed Johnson's BidaBest Squad members were ecstatic about their well-deserved win. They expressed their joy at being recognized by their favorite kid shampoo brand. Each of them shared their preferred Johnson's Active Kids shampoo variant and why it resonated with them.

Larra, a BidaBest mombassador, shared her excitement, "I was thrilled when my daughter Gwyn was selected for the first-ever Johnson's BidaBest Squad. It's our favorite brand, and Gwyn loves using 'Soft and Smooth' because it makes her hair feel soft every day."

Michelle, another BidaBest mombassador, emphasized how she's been using Johnson's Active Kids for Marius since he was young. She mentioned, "I've always used Johnson's Active Kids for Marius' hair. He's still a kid, so I make sure the shampoo I use is gentle, like 'Clean and Fresh.' Besides, he loves the blue color and the fact that even after a full day at school, he still smells fresh."

Fatima's mother shared their experience, saying, "We didn't expect to win, so we were overjoyed when we found out. Fatima loves 'Shiny Drops,' her favorite. She adores the color pink and the smooth, shiny hair her shampoo gives her."

Lastly, Michelle Salcedo shared her daughter Kylie's preference for the 'Strong and Healthy' variant from Johnson's Active Kids. "Kylie has always been an avid user of Johnson's Active Kids, and she loves 'Strong and Healthy' because her hair feels fantastic after using it. We were thrilled to be part of this because she genuinely loves this shampoo brand."

The Johnson's BidaBest Squad members eagerly discussed Johnson's Active Kids shampoo and why it's their favorite. They highlighted the benefits they've experienced, demonstrating the positive impact of the shampoo range. The event culminated in a lively performance of the Johnson's BidaBest Hashtag dance, featuring celebrity mom Jolina Magdangal-Escueta and her daughter, Vika Escueta.

Johnson's Active Kids shampoo is available in four variants, each catering to specific hair needs: 'Shiny Drops' with Argan Oil and Silk proteins for soft, smooth, and shiny hair, 'Clean & Fresh' with active fresh technology for 12-hour freshness, 'Strong & Healthy' with Vitamin E for stronger hair and less breakage, and 'Soft & Smooth' shampoo with honey and wheat extracts for smooth, less frizzy hair.

Follow the journey of the Johnson's BidaBest Squad on the official social media pages of Johnson's: @johnsonsbabyph on Instagram and TikTok and https://www.facebook.com/JohnsonsBabyPhilippines on Facebook.

Make your kids feel their BidaBest at home by getting your favorite Johnson's Active Kids Shampoo, available in leading supermarkets and drugstores, as well as from the official company store on Lazada and Shopee.
