Snoe's Sweet Hair and Body Glaze

I am currently addicted to Snoe's new product - the Sweet Hair and Body Glaze in Strawberry Smoothie. I had my hair permed last year and I am using Human Nature's Sun Flower Beauty Oil to avoid dryness and to make it shinier.  You can use it for the hair and also to some parts of the body. But the product did not work for my hair. What I don't like about the product is it is too oily and I don't love the smell at all. 

Good thing Snoe come up with the Sweet Hair and Body Glaze. I got the Strawberry Smoothie variant last Snoe Suntervention Bloggers Conference (will post about it soon). Priced at Php 199.00, I now enjoy a better oil for my hair that has a nice scent, also infused with Sun flower Oil plus Acai Berry and Argan Oil. It is not that oily at all. I haven't tried it on my body yet, but my hair loved it so much.

Available in Five (5) Variants same with the Body Ritual Recipe Fragrances such as Vanilla & Butterscotch, Passion Fruit Parfait, Nectarine Ginger Tea, Honey Dew Melon Yogurt and the Strawberry Smoothie that can be stored up to two years as indicated on the side of the bottle.

NaiCha, Tea Never Really Tasted This Good!

Milk tea stores are rapidly growing like mushrooms in our country right now. I did try one, I was not happy about it, I did not like it. Why? Because the tea was overpowering the Milk. I am not a tea person so I assume that since it will be incorporated or mixed with milk, that taste would change. Until I tried Naicha Milk Tea during the Bloggers Preview Assembly at their Congressional Branch inside LG2 Auto Station.

Inside the Uratex Plant

I grew up sleeping in Uratex foam made beds.. Our family prefer this brand and I honestly believe that most Filipinos do. I was happy that I was able to have the chance to be part of the tour at the one of largest foam-makers in the region - Uratex We were welcomed by Mr. Dindo Medina of Uratex Marketing Office and personally toured as inside the plant. 

"The Foam Group is subsidiary of the RGC Group of Companies, an Industrial giant with diversified business and a reputation of excellence. It all began in 1968 when the enterprising Robert Cheng founded Polyfoam Chemical Corporation. In a time when inferior quality foam products dominated the local market, Polyfoam ventured to produce higher-quality at competitive prices. Through perseverance and consistency in quality, Polyfoam eventually became the choice of discriminating buyers", and the rest they say is history.

Like any other manufacturing company, it has a RESEARCH and DEVELOPMENT LABORATORY. Its R&D Facility is one of the country's most advanced. The laboratory personnel develop formulations that result to certain types of foam and also conduct tests to ensure that the formulation will meet final product specifications that customers look for.
