What Judy Ann Santos Thinks About Champion Fabri-Con

This blog entry is a product announcement for Champion Detergent in to mark the 50th year anniversary celebration of this laundry products company

As you all know Champion Detergent released its latest product called,CHAMPION FABRI-CON, Liquid Fabric Conditioner with Freshness Capsules yesterday. 

This fabric conditioner promises a time-released fragrance for all-day freshness thanks to its innovation called freshness capsules. This is the first time I've heard of freshness capsules, let alone, a time-released fabric fragrance. 

Naturally, I wondered, "What are freshness capsules?"

The Search for My Sole Mate

Once upon a time, there was a nice young woman who went on a sole-searching expedition. Her personality is just like her name. Her needs are the same - simple but unique.

In her quest for the one and only sole, she received news that one of the royal footwear in town will be holding a majestic ball. This grand visual treat will be attended by a wide-array of colourful soles. Then it dawned on her… The promise of that one special sole… Will she find the one that will captivate her attention? This was too great of a chance to just let it pass by.

Chiller/Freezers - Do I Need Them in My Home?

I was in a used bookstore one day and I chanced upon an interesting book. The title of the book was "365 Ways To Save". As a consumer and one of the primary decision-makers in making purchases, naturally I was intrigued by this book. Browsing through the pages, I felt disappointed that most tips apply in the USA only. On the other hand, I was still tempted to buy the book just to note how long would it take for these money saving tips to happen here in the Philippines. Also, how many of these tips are already implemented currently.

Further investigation made me realize that most of the tips require some law to mandate it and since the Senate election is fast approaching, I may be able to use this information in choosing which senator to vote for.

One of the money-saving categories included in the book is about "saving for basic necessities" like electricity. I was surprised to see that the book suggests for households to invest in a good chiller or freezer aside from your refrigerator. 

If people window-shop for clothes, I window-shop for home furniture and appliance. This is simply because that is my family's current need at the moment. Bringing this tip with me in my recent trips to nearby malls, I looked at freezers and chillers. It was then I realized that there is a difference between the two.

What is the difference between a chiller and a freezer?

What You Want to Know About the Maltodextrin in Knorr Rice Mate Rice Conditioner

I made a product review of Knorr Rice Mate Rice Conditioner, and a reader (who is also a friend of mine who just wants to make life a little bit challenging for me. LOL!) commented that in their family they avoid products with preservatives. So I listed the ingredients of Rice Mate and told myself that I will look into these ingredients that I am not familiar of in future posts. 

So today we will look at one of the ingredients of Knorr Rice Mate Rice Conditioner which is Maltodextrin.

What is Maltodextrin? 

Knorr Rice Mate Rice Conditioner (Product Review)

Alright, New Year means new resolutions. I cannot say that I have been regularly posting in this blog but I promised to change that this year. The post below is a review of a new product I tried. It is not a sponsored post but I will have to admit that I didn't pay for them. I got these samples when I attended the recently concluded "Foodgasm - Take A Second Bite" at Mercato Centrale last March 2013.

FILA Polo Cup 2013: Ready to Samba?

This year I have decided to love myself a little bit more. "Loving myself more" (to me at least) means paying more attention to my needs. That's why I have been thinking of ways how to make my life more interesting. As a homeowner, I've been experimenting with color. Yet, the thing is I really don't know anything about it.

Things I don't Need But I'd Like to Buy in Pinoy Bazaar

I've been to so many bazaars for the last ten years and there came a point that I have five years worth of extra Christmas gifts from all of this bazaar hoarding. After Ondoy, I realized that keeping all these things is pointless, expensive and hardwork.

Then I totally stopped going to bazaars. No more sales. No more long queues just to buy that branded item for 70% off. No more dirty looks from fellow shoppers who is eyeing the same shoe you were looking at as soon as you step in the shopping zone. No more.

But a shopper will always be a shopper. So now I shop for online contests. In one of those online contests I joined I happen to win a gift from Pinoy Bazaar.

My Precious Global Pinoy Bazaar Finds

This 2012 I am blessed to win one of Yabang Pinoy's "May Tanong" Cards during one of their online contest to promote the Global Pinoy Bazaar 2012.

Because of that I was motivated once again to go to a bazaar. Below are the items I actually bought during the Global Pinoy Bazaar.
