Tapping multi hyphenate celebrity Dimples Romana as brand ambassador, the brand is getting credible representation among its target market. Recently, an online event hosted by DJ Chacha was held where Dimples talked about the many benefits of Fortima and how it has made a huge difference in her life.  “Health is the number one priority of everyone nowadays, No matter how pretty you might look, you cannot go to work if you are sick. I drink Fortima twice a day and it has done wonders for my body, my skin and my energy level,” Dimples enthuses. With a daughter that’s off to college and an active seven year old boy, the actress says she needs extra strength to cope with it all. Added to this , she is also a student, businesswoman and busy entertainer. “I wake up feeling energized and refreshed. That’s because Fortima had Vitamin E, Vitamin C and Zinc. That’s the magic word –  Zinc. When we drink Zinc, we know that it boosts our immunity,” she adds.

What is Fortima exactly? Fortima is a daily vitamin that provides LAKAS at GANDA to Filipinas. It contains a unique combination of 22 IU of Vitamin E (to keep the skin looking young and healthy) , 500mg of Vitamin C (non-acidic) and 27.5mg of Zinc (to keep you strong). Also present in the event was  Nutrition Coach Kristia Roco who explained that zinc defends against toxins that threaten immunity while Vitamin E keeps the skin nourished by fighting free radicals.  Both nutrients work hand in hand with Vitamin C for overall wellness. The best news is that one tablet only costs P12.50!

The enjoyable afternoon saw Dimples interacting with online guests. Everybody congratulated her when she announced that Baby no.3 is on the way. In the end, the actress had this to say. “If you’re ready to say #FortimaChallengeAccepted to help you with your daily tasks, then purchase  Fortima in all leading drugstores, beauty stores and supermarkets nationwide.” The product is available in a box of 8 and 30 at

At seven, my mom brought me to the bank to open a Happy Saver’s Club account. She put in P100 as an initial deposit.

The post A Legacy of Love appeared first on The Busy Queen P.

All of us continue to face challenges during this pandemic. At the beginning, there was fear mostly. Fear of the sickness, fear of the future and fear for our loved ones. Slow acceptance came next and adjusting to the “new normal.” As a parent, my concern since Day One until now is the safety and well being of my two children both mentally and physically. Gladly, through our combined efforts at keeping busy with activities indoors and outdoors (always within the perimeters of our home), the kids are doing well.

At the onset, we would start our days in the pool. Being under the sun was good for both the body and mind. It kept cabin fever at bay. After lunch, the kids and I bonded over board games in our lanai. As the weeks dragged into months, it could not be helped but indulge in a bit of Netflix and online engagement with family and friends. The latter became the only way to stay connected to the outside world, especially for the kids. Still, play on one form or another remained an everyday activity.

With Johnson’s Baby products (powder, cologne, shampoo and liquid bath soaps), there’s absolutely no need to fret. Our kids are sure to stay clean and smelling fresh (presko bango!) for up to 12 hours.

Why is Play Important?

Johnson & Johnson Senior Brand Manager Alde Po says, ” We continually advocate for active playtime and bonding moments among parents and kids. This keep children healthy overall, especially with regards to their mental health. It is the brand’s mission to make bonding moments more fun and enjoyable, even when it’s done from the safety of their homes.”

Johnson’s Play Days Laro’y Sumasaya ‘Pag Ika’y Kasama is a call for parents to get their children to experience the joy of paying together by going back to basics via active play time. The World Health Organization  (WHO) recommends for parents to allot at least 20 minutes of every day as play time with their kids. This routine has been proven to give children a sense of normalcy.

Now, whether it’s active or imaginative play, sweat is always an ongoing worry for parents. Staying healthy nowadays is a must! With Johnson’s Baby products (powder, cologne, shampoo and liquid bath soaps), there’s absolutely no need to fret. Our kids are sure to stay clean and fresh smelling (presko bango!) for up to 12 hours. Even form indoors, mas napapasaya ang playtime with Johnson’s Baby products. The entire Baby line has become every mom’s ultimate play partner in allowing their kids to enjoy a much longer playing time.

Johnson’s Baby products are available in leading supermarkets, drugstores and department stores nationwide.

Each screen is built-in to remove harmful chemicals, dust mites, mold, bacteria, viruses, pollen, smoke, pet dander and other airborne pathogens!

Its name already says what it does but how does it accomplish this feat exactly? In the simplest of terms it combines six layers of filters (Pre filter, HEPA13, Carbon, Photocaralysis, Cold Catalyst, Anion) with a big UVC lamp in one machine. Each screen is built-in to remove harmful chemicals, dust mites, mold, bacteria, viruses, pollen, smoke, pet dander and other airborne pathogens!

Since getting this machine, I’ve really put it to work. All I had to do was remove the front panel, take out the filter from the packaging bag and put back the front casing. Next, I had to plug the power cord, press the ON button lightly and wait for the AUTO icon to pop up on the screen. At first, you’ll notice “disco lights” flashing as my daughter calls it. The line on the screen will alternate (red, orange, and finally green). Green means that the air is clean.

I use it in ALL of the rooms in the house. At night, I leave it on while we sleep in the master’s bedroom. Recently, I’ve done the same thing (leaving it on overnight) and used it in my son’s bedroom. All mothers know how smelly boys’ rooms can be. Since he’s home 24/7 and holed up in his room most of the time, the space really needed extra sanitizing.

I have brought it downstairs with me and used it in the living room, kitchen, theatre room and my husband’s office. Just remember to unplug it after use and not let the cord drag while moving it from one place to another.

The Busy Queen P Highly Recommends The  UVKleene  Anion Air Purifier 7 Stage Purification

One thing that you won’t miss about this machine is that it’s very quiet. There’s no whirring sound of any sort that’s why it’s ideal to use while you sleep. I’ve also noticed that it’s effective in putting allergic rhinitis at bay. My nose started to feel itchy the other day and I was sneezing for a bit. After taking some organic meds and putting nasal spray, I turned on the UVKleene Air Purifier. Slept like a baby!

It’s very important to stay healthy during these trying times. Drink plenty of water, exercise, eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Invest in safety and get a UVKleene Air Purifier for your home.

By end May, I got my act together and decided to live a life not consumed with fear or agitation. Once I started to write again, the spark of happiness grew into a flaming ball of joy! I noticed that people have also come to slowly accept the situation. BUT safety is still a concern and health the number one priority. That’s why I’m glad to have discovered a brand that keeps me safe from bacteria, virus and other pathogens.

The wand is eco-friendly, does not emit mercury, and when properly used, can last up to 30,000 hours. It even has a gravity sensor (shuts off when lights face up). Now that’s value for money!

I tried the UVKleene wand first. With just two quick clicks, the wand becomes operational and emits UV rays that kill the unseen enemy. All deliveries are placed in a box in our garage , “UVKleened” , and wiped with alcohol for good measure before it enters the house. I also sanitize my daughter’s pens, crayons, clipboards,  etc before and after she uses them.

Today, when I finally stepped out into the “new world,” the bank was my first destination. I disinfected all the documents before signing them — which made the bank manager decide that she wants a UVKleene wand as well.

The wand is eco-friendly, does not emit mercury, and when properly used, can last up to 30,000 hours. It even has a gravity sensor (shuts off when lights face up). Now that’s value for money! It only works on surfaces and not on people. In fact, there’s a warning printed on the item itself to not let it touch your eyes or skin.

A few days ago, I got to try the big brother of the UVKleene wand. The UVK-R02 Area Sterilizer is ideal for the different rooms of the house, for offices, hotel rooms and dining places. The UV light arm can be moved up to  180 degrees angle to reach all the nooks and crannies of the room. The user must wear protective goggles (this comes with the machine), set the timer (30 minutes is ideal, but you can leave it on for an hour), turn the switch on and immediately leave the room.

With the situation being what it is today, we really cannot let our guard down. There’s no such thing as being too overly cautious. The UVKleene disinfecting machines help me in dealing with these abnormal times. There’s really no price on health or safety.

Aside from being cholesterol-free AND fat-free, it’s also an excellent source of Vitamin B6, potassium, fiber and Vitamin C. I love eating it after exercising and before meals. You can use it to bake breads, muffins and make other desserts and drinks.

My kids eat bananas all-year round. I just hang it in our kitchen counter and it’s an any-time-of-day kind of healthy snack. Since both kids are competitve swimmers, they like eating this yellow super fruit to help their bodies recover after training. Did you know that it’s also good for the brain? It helps kids focus and also boosts energy levels.

For Beabi owners Winnie Go and Willin Chan, collaborating with painter Manuel Baldemor was an easy decision. The latter’s flower series paintings are clean, light and simply joyful. The women of Beabi chose three paintings they felt would appeal to their customers and had it printed on different styles of black tote bags. “Imagine owning your own Baldemor and being able to carry it on your arm,” Willin Chan said at the recent launch of MBaldemorXBeabi at the Ronac Art Center in Ortigas. “Well, Beabi has made it possible and affordable.” Winnie Go was quick to note, “We have only reproduced 500 pieces of each design. For Ph2495, you can be a proud owner of a limited edition Beabi Bag with the artwork of one of our country’s most esteemed painters.”

The three chosen pieces from Mr. Baldemor’s Floral Symphony Collection have the following titles: Flowers are a Joy Forever, Flowers Speak from the Heart and Amazing Grace. All are beautiful prints on stylish bags by Beabi. I must admit it took me a while to choose from the three designs. In the end, I chose Flowers Speak from the Heart which is a vertical print made on a modern satchel that may be held close to the body or one may also opt to use the strap and wear it as a shoulder or cross-body bag.

MBaldemor X Beabi bags are now available at the stores. Add this precious arm candy to your bag collection now!

Three delicious ANLENE flavors are now available : Plain, Chocolate and White Coffee.
Have you noticed that as you age, you are unable to do things that came easy to you just a few years prior? You easily get tired, can’t quite keep up with the kids and almost always seem out of breath. This slowdown in your body, evidenced by soreness or weakness could be a sign that your body is aging prematurely. More than half of Filipino adults experience this because of poor lifestyle choices: unhealthy eating habits, lack of proper rest and living a couch potato’s life.

Supplement your diet with two glasses of Anlene MoveMAx to get 100% of your daily calcium requirement for your bones.

How do we fight premature aging?

1. Get enough sleep. Allow your body to recover and repair itself for 7-9 hours daily. Take a power nap in the middle of the day if you can. Sleep lets your brain relax, restores alertness and even reduces stress levels.
2. Get moving! Find an activity that you like and get started. Walk, dance, jog or rock climb. Without exercise, blood circulation becomes less efficient and you run the risk of decreased strength and muscle mass loss. Dedicate 20 to 30 minutes a day for exercise and watch the changes happen. You become happier, more agile and more energetic!
3. Get the right nutrients with the right diet. Start with little changes. I made a decision to say no to chips and soft drinks. I ate fruits every single day. I had salad whenever I could. Eat food that’s rich in calcium, protein, vitamins, and minerals. DRINK! Staying hydrated enables you to manage your energy levels, lubricates the joints and delivers oxygen throughout the body.
4. Supplement your diet with two glasses of Anlene MoveMAx to get 100% of your daily calcium requirement for your bones, high protein for muscles and collagen for joints. It’s available in ready-to-drink and powdered forms and comes in three different flavors: Original, White Coffee and Chocolate. You can purchase it in mini sachets or in bigger packaging.
