Marks & Spencer Mother's Day Story featuring Joanna Lizares-Co on Motherhood & Mindfulness

$
0
0
In line with Marks & Spencer "LIFE, Spend it Well" campaign, a Mother's Day celebration featuring the story of a SUPERWOMAN: Joanna Lizares-Co. Having a successful career, a mother, a wife and a responsible daughter and a sister, doing this with all her heart without complaining and arguing.




In 2002, a Cebuana Joanna Christina Lizares-Co, 46, married to a Dabawenyo businessman Zosimo Co. She moved to Davao City in the same year and since then, Joanna has considered the city as her second home. The couple is blessed with two beautiful girls – Gianna Simone, 12, and Simmina Christina, 9.

A loving daughter that she is, she has remained in close touch with her family in Cebu even if it means regular visits to her father and siblings. On the average, she and her family travel to her hometown three times a year to bond with her brother and sister and friends. Her father passed away last December.


“I moved to Davao in 2002 and when I went home to Cebu, my time centered on my dad. Whenever my dad asked me to come home, I was there right away. Unfortunately, he passed away in December 2017, “. 
“But I promised my brother and sister we’d continue to visit.” she said in an online interview.

Even it would mean being away from her Cebu family, her decision to join her loving and a very supportive husband in Davao City was just right and she never regretted it.




Although she admitted that her new base is somewhat “laid back” as compared to Cebu, this is what she likes most about living in Davao.


“It wasn’t so bad. I’m a homebody and my husband Sim made it quite easier. He had a lovely home and saw to it we would enjoy what Davao had to offer,” she said.


“Davao is where I have my two girls. I feel a sense of grounding here. Cebu may have been home to me, but this is where I want to stay for now.”
“My happy place is with my two girls and my husband,” she said.

HANDS ON MOM

As a Yoga instructor, Joanna has a tight schedule holding three to four classes a day. But this never affected her responsibility as a mother and a wife. She knows how to deal with this.

“I’m up at 5 a.m. Monday to Saturdays since my first yoga class is at 7 a.m.  Some time after, I check if my girls are up for school.  I teach 3-4 yoga classes spread out in the day so I get to go home in between classes or do my chores,” she said.




While at home, Joanna makes it a point to work on her other interests, spending an hour doing calligraphy, another hour practicing with watercolor or craftwork, another hour to write on her diary, journal, update her schedule.




 “Dinnertime is with my husband and kids, where we talk about anything.  I cap off the day reading.  At around 10 p.m.  I’m asleep.  Weekends are with my girls and they have all my attention.  We play board games, do arts and crafts, go to the mall, watch movies, and eat,” she said.

They also travel once a year, a kind of family bonding that revolves around her two girls. “We get to be more adventurous only when Sim and I travel on our own,” she said.




It’s full of laughter the way she describes her relationship with her family.
   

 A CAREER WOMAN

It was in 2011 when Joanna started to practice yoga, which she describes as "a holistic approach to health, wellness, and mindfulness.”

She never expected to become a yoga teacher and just wanted to be good in it, basically the reason she took the Hatha Yoga teacher training program that was offered in Davao City in 2014. She is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT200) with Yoga Alliance and she is accredited by the International Institute of Yogic Science. Her 200-hour training was conducted by Tatva Yoga International under Master Dev Kapil.

This really just happened to fall on my lap…I simply wanted to do better in my yoga practice. But what do you know?  I immediately got an offer to teach at Holiday Gym Davao so I took the opportunity. It has been three wonderful years being a yoga teacher,” she confidently said.

Joanna is grateful she was introduced to such practice, which she said help her improve her well-being, her outlook in life, promoting healthy living which has become her advocacy.


On Joanna: M&S Collection stipe Bardot top & cotton stretch 7/8 trousers.



Yoga introduced me to mindfulness.  Just when I thought I perfected multitasking, I get shifted back to doing things one at a time. This mental practice of awareness and staying in the present moment has allowed me to even to manage my time better. There is a time for study, for hobbies, for work, for play, etc.,” she said.


                                                                                  Joanna wearing M&S Collection knot front top with treggings, cat eye sunglasses & navy bow pump.


“In my personal experience, its getting people to understand that there are no quick fixes.  We must allow the process to work and take place.  If it is slow, it’s more lasting,” she stressed.



HER FASHION SENSE

Joanna isn’t the shopaholic type, but for arts and crafts, she is one, making it a weekly chore. “For clothes? Only when I need to and when the occasion calls for it,” she said.

She admitted to be a classic dresser and does not sacrifice function for form or style this why she loves shopping at Marks & Spencer because the selections fit her fashion style.

“You won’t find me jumping on the latest fashion just because it’s the trend.  I have to like it a lot and be comfortable in it for me to wear,” she said.




What occupies her closet aside from, of course, yoga pieces? ”It’s shoes and bags!  Stretch pants, white shirts, cardigans, day dresses, sleeveless tops, scarves and shawls,” she said.




And a piece of advise to women out there who want to feel they have a complete wardrobe in their closet, Joanna has this to say: It should contain white cotton button-down shirt, a little black dress, dark denim jeans, white shorts, knit tops, black pants, printed day dress, plain sheath dress, blazer, black pumps, neutral ballet flats, metallic evening shoes, scarves, black tote.


LIFE, LIVING IT WELL

The way things are going for Joanna only prove the possibility of just she living life to the fullest with focus on improving it as a career woman, a loving sister and a responsible wife and a mother. And this makes her a happy person.

“It is a happy, healthy life purposefully lived.  At the end of my life, I would want to be able to say that with all the talents God has given me, I have multiplied it, and spent it well for the purpose given me. We only have one life, I do not wish otherwise but to live it full with my family,” she said

“I try to take care of my body, eat well, stay fit, and take time to meditate.  I believe that if I take good care of myself (mind and body), I can take care of my family and others better, and be more effective in the things I do.  I am not known to do things half-baked.  I get into something because I am passionate about it.  And when I am passionate in the things I do, I do well,” she concluded.

Salon Experience at Hair Studio Gaisano Mall

I am lucky that I have long and healthy hair, but problem is when you colored bleach you hair it doesn't come with a catch after a month. If I don't get a hair treatment, it will start to have a mushroom effect hair texture, wherein it start to burst out at the sides and become frizz like a dead hair in all the wrong ways. And I don't have a trusted hairdresser to catch it before the real proof is critical.


This photo of Gaisano Mall of Davao is courtesy of TripAdvisor 


Recently, I got the chance to chat with Ms. Mary Jenny Lim-Carpio, Owner/Proprietor of Jenden Hair Studio and get some of her top tips on how to have a beautiful hair and lifestyles. She want me to experience hair and nail salon at their Hair Studio located at the 3rd floor Gaisano Mall Davao.

I had my first visit to the salon last week and was blown away. When I first entered, it was like I am inside a shopping mall (indeed I am inside a mall-but seeing many people inside a salon both male and female) I was completely shock! They have many clients that time and the good thing is that the salon has many staff's too! The ambiance was so relaxing which is exactly what I needed after a stressful week.

I was welcome by Ms. Che, the Hair Studio Manager, she was very helpful. My assigned stylist Ogie was very accommodating. Before I went in I was nervous about having a change, but I felt I am in good hands with Ogie.

I had my hair washed and was offered a really great massage for my SP Hair Treatment.



SP Treatment is good for colored bleach hair. I have fine hair and have had bad experiences with breakage from bleach and hair color, your hair will be dry and brittle - and this treatment suits me.

While waiting for 15-30 minutes hair treatment, I was introduce to Nail Gel Manicure.






Nail Gel is different from Acrylic ones. Acrylic nails are made of a powder dipped in a solvent. While Nail Gel, comes in a nail polish shades, and are made hard by being cured under a UV or Led Lamp.

If you are doubtful about UV lights, that radiation can be dangerous to health, that purple-colored lights has been part of salon services since then. Luckily, there have been huge improvements in gel technology!



Gels can last 2-3 weeks. If you are a busy mom or if you a bunch of events coming up, gels can be the best solution to have a nice nails in every event/activities your going because this will last about 2 long weeks without chipping.




Absolutely loved my experience. As a working mom, I don't get a lot of time to pamper myself but my stylist Ogie of Hair Studio and the rest of the staff treated me like a queen and I feel so refreshing when I left ready to face the world.

I even had my new hair cut and got exactly what I asked for.


  

Finally, I found a decent stylist. Having trailed with different salons for years I have had mixed experiences especially with hair colors and treatment - but Ogie did a great job and reassured me that my hair treatment condition would help restored my hair overtime.

At Hair Studio, you get what you pay for - a look you love, healthy hair and a staff who cares. Though the salon does get busy but the ambiance is just right even with all the hairdryers blasting out in chorus - not to hip and trendy but certainly not dull either.

I would happily recommend Hair Studio to anyone. If like me you're reading this reviews wondering whether to book, then do it... Visit them now and avail their 50% OFF in all MAJOR SERVICES in celebration of their 18th year Anniversary only for tomorrow 8th of June 2017.

Falling in love makes you lose weight....according to what I've read in the internet, falling in love is the reawakening of a woman into whatever it takes to get pretty. When we fall in love our body changes for the better, for some it helps them to make it easier to lose weight, but for others like me..well, hoping for a motivation to be able to control my appetite just to lose weight, that is why others use other methods to lose fats and at the same time healthy.

In my younger years when I am brokenhearted I easily lose weight because I don't have the appetite to eat. I don't have the desire to feel the pain, that's why I abstain from eating. Now, I'm in my early 40's I realize that either falling in love or brokenhearted overcoming this - the connectivity with my hunger for more food and to utter "I LOVE TO EAT" feels like a shocking change in my system.

So glad that I discover this coffee that helps me motivate by losing weight in a healthier way.


It was recently ranked 29th in the Global Excellence Awards.
Chosen as “The Most Outstanding Slimming Coffee Brand” by this organisation for its result oriented approach.

Been drinking this for almost a year, and I'm happy to make a review of this product.


A box contains 5 sachets of coffee packets. It is highly recommended to drink this coffee once a day, ideally 30 minutes before breakfast, for best results.

For all the weight conscious people, here comes the ideal and highly effective and easy solution to lose weight by not going to a gym and/or without having to follow a strict diet.

SKINNY COFFEE from SAKURA is an instant coffee mix, that you need to drink for 5 days. It has L-Carnitine, Garcinia Gambogia, Green Tea Extract, and Stevia.

Coming from Philippines-based manufacturer, prepared with natural ingredients, it has no side effects and it can be consumed by people who are suffering from chronic ailments.


  
How does it work?

Coffee is a refreshing beverage that I love much. It's caffeine element helps in releasing fatty acids into one's blood stream, this help me stay fresh and active for a long time.

I am a coffeeholic person so taking this beverage is not new to me. Still I have the desire to eat, but this coffee limit my appetite to eat less.

Garcinia Cambogia one of the most effective weight loss that curbs human appetite. It is commonly known as Malabar Tamarind. It has the powerful capacity in blocking enzyme called citrate lyase which reduces the body fats creation, aiding for a quick and effective weight loss.

What made me love this product more is instead of eating solid foods, I'm always thirsty and I'm like doing a particularly intense exercise (like running a marathon or
sweating a ton at the gym).

L-Carnitine makes you more active, it helps building more adrenaline rush for people drinking the coffee.  It also converts unnecessary and unhealthy fats into amino acids that form the basis for development of proteins.

You feel that you are full of energy!

Green Tea Extract known for its excellent antioxidant properties. It helps improves skin stone and provide natural glow.

Stevia a natural sugar that can only be found in Sakura Skinny Coffee drink. It is far healthier compared with the usual sugar we use, no carbohydrates. It reduces people's liking for sweets, leading to effective weight loss in a short period of time.

And yes! It reduces appetite and increases one's urge to drink water regularly. This coffee is HALAL and FDA approved, therefore you can be sure of the quality.

I prefer HOT COFFEE!

You can drink it either HOT or COLD. No need to add sugar or cream.

For HOT COFFEE, one sachet to a cup of hot water.
For COLD COFFEE, first pour a little hot water in the cup and dissolve one sachet to it and add cold water to make it one cup (150ml). You can add ice if you like.

I bought it online for PHp130 only x 5 sachet in a box.

PRECAUTION: Not advisable to breastfeeding moms and people with heart, liver or kidney ailment.

When watching Kadayawan Festivals, especially Indak-Indak sa Kadalanan and Pamulak sa Kadayawan expect that you will be standing under the sun for a long hours.

Wear light clothes and avoid dark colored shirts. No doubts, we over heard this already that black or dark colored clothes are more absorbent compared to white and light clothes that are more reflective.


No Backpacks Rule. Davao City Councilor Edgar Ibuyan has reiterated this rule since 2014. The rule is part of the security plan to abort terrorists hiding explosive devices in backpack.

You can use shoulder bags that are transparent bag, cloth bag or laminated bag.


Wearing CAPS and SUNGLASSES strictly not allowed, use STRAW HATS and/or a "BANDANA" for added protection.


Wear comfortable shoes.


While some use slippers or travel slippers while watching Indak-Indak and Float Parade.





Gadgets. To capture every moment during the highlights, use either camera or a smartphone camera, and don't forget your powerbank (a portable charger that comes in every handy when you're outdoors).



Since this is the first Kadayawan under Martial Law expect more strengthen and strict guidance inspection during the activities. We have to follow rules, but still we need to suit ourselves by wearing comfortable clothes that fit well so that you look and act your best while having fun at #Kadayawan.

Review: Celeteque DermoCosmetics Eyebrow Nourishing Serum

$

I've been using CELETEQUE DERMOCOSMETICS EYEBROW NOURISHING SERUM for almost 3 months, and I'm quite impressed with the result.




It was during the 90's that almost tweens are compelled to over-tweeze their eyebrows and I admit, I am one of them. Though I have a thin eyebrows, but then I still pluck it for the sake it was a "trend".

This saying really apply to me, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me'... but when it comes to brows, tweeze too much the first time and you might stuck for life. And yes, I got stuck! I started over-plucked my eyebrows at age 18 and they never grew in after that.

To better understand, here is a quick review of our hair's growth cycle: 

There's the anagen phase (active growing), the catagen phase (growth stops), and the telogen phase (the hair is at rest). Then the hair falls out, and a new one grows in its place. When you rip out one of your hairs, it disrupts this growth cycle. Repeatedly ripping out hairs in a certain area can stunt the growth cycle semi-permanently, or even cause a condition called traction alopecia, a type of semi-permanent hair loss, making it even harder to regrow overplucked brows.

So the best thing to do for brows that need to grow is to STOP PLUCKING and seek help. I am happy that there are products being invented to help eyebrows grow faster, and one of this comes from our local brands, Celeteque, created an eyebrow nourishing serum!



Celeteque DermoCosmetics Eyebrow Nourishing Serum promotes fuller healthier eyebrows and it is dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic.

I personally recommend this product because it is tested and safe to use. And for 3 months of religiously using it, I am impressed, but still observing if it will give me a fuller, stronger and healthier eyebrows.

How to use: Gently brush on your eyebrows twice every day.

Nailaholics Nail Salon and Spa Davao: A Davaoeños Guide in Choosing A Nail Salon

$

Every woman needs to spoil herself sometimes. Besides from shopping, our hands and feet really deserve some attention especially us "WAHM" (Work At Home Mom) from a week of work abuse facing the computer, laundry errands, gardening, washing dishes and a host of different excuses.



It's a good thing that I have nothing to do because my two daughter have no class; which give me an ample time for some good, old-time pampering. I was invited by NAILAHOLICS Nail Salon & Spa Abreeza Davao for a day of relaxation and to avail any services that I want.


A trip to the nail salon isn't just about gloss and shine for an ordinary meni/pedi enthusiasts. It's all about experience and the quality of service.

Here's a few notes on what you should be looking for when you're scouting for the perfect nail pampering destination. Did it meet my expectation? Let's find out.

On Sterilizing Nail Tools And Hygiene Protocols

Don't be afraid to ask about what the salon does to ensure the quality and hygiene of their services. It's not enough that they say they follow strict protocols, better see for yourself - visit the salon! And ask about the process they take to sanitize their tools if you're unsatisfied.



What I found particularly when I got there, with all honesty, I was dismay. There is no available nail assistants (the fact is, all are assigned to respective customers) so I have to wait for 30 minutes. While waiting, I examined its content of their tool basket and found some of their tools like nail clipper, nipper, nail file, etc are all in a sealed packet. I have also seen other employees where in a room sterilizing their tools to prove that they are not bluffing in saying, "we take our business seriously and we love our jobs that we don't want to get sued".

I've seen this practiced by budget salons, I don't know if they are aware of health risks if accidentally cut someone's toes with unsanitized tools. We often disregard these kind of things as nothing or will never happened, because we assume that every treatment will go as planned. So be aware, that these tools have been used to service to a thousand customers.

I find it commendable that Nailaholics does this for their customers who knows what kind of bacteria or fungus is lurking if these were not properly sanitized and sterilized. Hope their staff will maintain this kind of protocol religiously even if they're too busy with their work.


Team Davao Digital Influencers enjoying the pampering!

How Extensive Are The Services Being Offered?



Interiors and great service are nothing if the salon has very limited options. The best nail salons combine stringent hygiene standards. That let you enjoy a relaxing pampering experience and gives you numerous options to choose - be it a regular mani-pedi, a Gel Polish or Hand & Foot Treatment, Nail Extension or Foot Spa.

Nail Salon should be equipped to provide you with what you need and do it well!

Nailaholics have it all! They made sure that you go to a place that usher you where you can indulge in relaxing nail to a total pampering services by Hey Sugar!their sister company that cater organic waxing, eyelash enhancement (permed & extension) and threading.

My Nailaholics Experience

Nailaholics manicure and pedicure services cost P190 to P450 depends on what kind of service do you want. Though it's not the cheapest in town but neither is it the most expensive.


  
GEL PEDICURE + FOOT SPA Experience



The pedicure treatment started with a foot soak, massage, followed with the cuticle removal, nail cut and applications of gel nail color, nail polish and UV for the gel. I choose the colorless for my toe nails because I’m using close shoes everyday so it doesn’t matter if I choose less color, it still look pretty but not too overpowering.I like simple and it will match any clothes I wear. The whole procedure went on smoothly that I took a quick nap in between sessions.

GEL MANICURE Experience

The other assistant did the same thing. But the entire procedure took me more than an hour to wait because they only have 2 UV Gel Machine and that time the salon as I said is FULL PACK of customers. That makes sense.

It’s not my first time to have a GEL MANICURE procedure (read HairStudio), still I am slightly worried of the outcome. But there was nothing to worry though because it was generally 100% safe.

I waited for almost two hours to have my nail done. The result was great! After submitting my hands to constant abuse from computer work, it looked pretty and less tired again.


 
People who say that these beauty regimen are a waste of money, well they are all wrong! For me, it is a therapeutic way of making ME time by sitting there, do nothing while someone fiddles with your nails and cuticle until it look gorgeous and clean.

Do The Interiors Support The Experience?




Inside Nailaholics Nail Salon & Spa, you'll be treated to a gentle, wind-swept and ultra-chic Hamptons Coast. It's like that you are in a retreat full of vibrant colors, low-key music, visually stunning wall art designs and colorful cushioned sets, as if you are in a beach resort - a summer scene indeed!

I love that they have pillows to cushion my back and my hands while doing the manicure. They also have a magazine to entertain customers while their nail treatment is going on. 

That time their staff were not that friendly and approachable though they answer us politely. I understand they are all exhausted.

My Say:


Overall, I didn't regret my experience here at Nailaholics for my Color My Cabana Package, I liked their Foot Spa which exfoliated my feet which felt soft to touch.

I would definitely recommend that you try other services they have aside from the basic manicure and pedicure. Given that it is a FREE pampering day for the bloggers, I still recommend the PACKAGE services, you can expect to get superb service at the price or even more. 



Nailaholics Nail Salon & Spa as the number one go-to-nail and pampering destination in the country is getting lots of customers. I suggest that they will look for a bigger location that can accommodate tons of their valued clients, especially those clients who like to have privacy and seclusion.




After taking useful nail salon guide into mind, it's now your time to take a trip to the best one - NAILAHOLICS NAIL SALON AND SPA.

My Eyelash Perming Experience at Hey Sugar! Waxing Salon Abreeza Mall #SwitchToHeySugar

For those of you who are not familiar with Hey Sugar!, it's a sister company of Nailaholics Nail Salon & Spa, a popular chain of nail & organic all-natural waxing salons here in the Philippines. There main selling target is affordability and accessibility with a lot of branches around the country.


The main service at Hey Sugar! is waxing. So if you're looking for an experts aestheticians make sure that you'll visit this place. They only use the best, highest quality, all organic natural ingredients.

They also sell OTC all-organic natural products:
SUGAR BODY SCRUB - PHp 450
BODY SCRUB DECADENCE - PHp 295
2 TONE BODY SCRUB - PHp 250
BODY BUTTER - PHp 250
CASTOR OIL - PHp 190

But before you undergo waxing procedure, here's a few insider secrets  straight from the aestheticians of the go-to destination for all-natural, sugar waxing at Hey Sugar!

  • Skip the lotion of the day of your appointment. For best results, we'll need to clean, dry skin.
  • Stop shaving at least two weeks before your appointment. Hair needs to be long enough to lie flat on your skin. Those who shave typically have hair grows uneven, which makes it difficult in removing using wax.
  • Give your skin some breathing time after you wax. Your skin will be sensitive if exposed.
  • Avoid the sun after wax. So don't schedule your appointment on the day before you leave for the beach.
  • In general, avoid sun exposure this will also includes sauna, steam rooms and hot showers. GO FOR COLD WATER after waxing!
  • Don't wear tight clothing after an appointment, particularly synthetic lycra you usually wear as workout clothes, which is also means this is your best excuse to skip the gym.
  • Begin exfoliating a couple days after waxing to make sure that you prevent ingrown hairs.
Only trust Hey Sugar! for your waxing experience. It is healthier and more comfortable because they only use 100% naturally hypoallergenic sugar wax that minimizes side effects such as allergic reactions and chemical irritations caused by traditional waxing.



Aside from waxing, they also have THREADING & EYELASH ENHANCEMENT.


MY EYELASH PERMING EXPERIENCE

My lashes are not that long but they're straight. I always rely on my eyelash curler, so when I got the chance to have a FREE service from Hey Sugar! I was excited.

I've heard about eyelash extensions pros and cons and it sounds icky to me. Eyelash extensions is a big no-no for me. And the fact that you put fake lashes on your own eyelashes well thank you. I'm more safe with eyelash perming.

WHAT IS EYELASH PERMING? Or an eyelash permanent wave or known as the eyelash perm. It is a permanent relaxer that straightens the hair, a cosmetic procedure done by a licensed Aestheticians to flip up eyelashes using hair perming technology.

    

I booked an appointment with them one day after our Nailaholics nail pampering. On the day of the perming, I popped into one of their rooms and saw my other colleagues Dorz Calla from Davao Digital Influencers team having its eyelash perming procedure too.

While waiting, I was asked to fill in some forms then I was led by an aestheticians to the first cubicle after Dorz done with her procedure. The cubicle was small and clean with a bed on one side, a small drawer and powerful lamp on the other side.

The aestheticians asked me to lie down then turned on the powerful lamp and start cleaning the oily part around my eyes.

Lashes are treated with perm solutions which is then followed by the neutralizer and sometimes depending on which system you use will have a nourishing oil as the last step, to recondition and strengthen the lashes. Each being left on about 10 minutes.


Once the lashes have been applied by the FDA approved glue 100% safe and stings less, that doesn't hurt the lashes to the perm rod or silicone pad (with sizes S, M, L) the perming solution is applied to the upturned lash and left to set to 30 minutes, followed by a neutralizer which is also left for another 15 minutes. Once the silicone pad is removed the eyelids and lashes are cleansed of any residue. My over all procedure takes almost an hour, that I had to remind myself to not open my eyes or else it won't work. So I was drift off to sleep.

Another thing that convince me to do the eyelash perming is that it last longer compared to eyelash extensions. Eyelash Perming last for about 2 to 3 months, extensions last for 2 weeks.

For the first 3 days, you are not allowed to put mascara on your lashes. And make sure within a week stay away from going to the beach --- avoid sea and rain water.



And I have to tell you this, I don't regret in choosing the eyelash perming. It was perfect and worth it! I was amazed with the result and my eyelashes looks so awesome now.





Drop by Hey Sugar! located at the 3rd level of Abreeza Mall and expect a clean and inviting haven and leave it all to the hands of expert and well-trained aestheticians.
