Feng Shui aficionados from all over the Philippines and those nearby Asian countries will get together once more in the biggest feng shui event in the Philippines slated on January 19, 2013. The Marites Allen 2013 Feng Shui Updates, an annual convention organized by World of Feng Shui (WOFS) Philippines since 2006, seek to provide valuable insider tips on way to enhance one's luck in the Year of the Water Snake, which starts on February 10, 2013 and ends on January 30, 2014.

 Ms. Marites Allen, an international feng shui expert and resource person for the convention, is known for generously sharing her expertise with the participants and for not leaving anything to chance to ensure the success of the annual event. This year the new venue for the event is the Infinity Ballroom, Best Western Premiere F1 Hotel, Fort Bonifacio Global City, The First Premiere Hotel at The Fort. 

"The choice was made for auspicious reasons. F1 Hotel is a period of 8 building. It faces South and thus offers lots of positive opportunities especially in the year of the Snake. This year, South-facing properties will enjoy the luck of the prosperity star 9 so F1 Hotel is the ideal venue for the 2013 Feng Shui Updates," she reveals.

Aside from sharing the genereal prospects for different countries and industries indicated by specific feng shui disciplines, WOFS president and CEO Marites Allen will also discuss individual forecasts for each animal sign in the areas of career, romance and health, among others. There will be a special discussion on the ideal feng shui luck enhancers to activate positive energies and cures to counter inauspicious elements that present themselves in 2013. The international feng shui consultant, however, issues a caveat.

"Feng Shui does not claim to answer all problems nor does it present a crystal clear glimpse into the future. What it does is provide valuable guidelines to make us realize that we have options and that it's the individual who holds the key to the improvement of his or her personal life," she clarifies.

 It's when some participants at the event starts sharing their experiences on how feng shui changed their lives for the better that it becomes obvious why they keep coming back to attend the convention every year. Many of their testimonials can be viewed at www.maritesallen.com.

Traditionally, feng shui is regarded as the practice of harmonious placement of luck cures and enhancers to attract positive and deflect negative energies. By attending the Annual Updates, participants learn new and exciting ways to apply feng shui in daily living. "People have started to realize that they can also tap auspicious energies by wearing lucky symbols in their dresses and fashion accessories. This is the reason I put up my FRIGGA fashion line to benefit those who like to bring good luck with them wherever they go." Fashionable FRIGGA wear and accessories, along with other WOFS luck-enhancing products, will be available at the venue. "We're also working on mobile apps designed to give users access to information such as lucky colors, compatibility among animal signs, ways to get lucky in 2013, among others. This year's participants are in for a lot of pleasant surprises " Ms. Allen adds.

Asia's King of Talk, Boy Abunda, will grace the event as Ms. Allen's cohost. For more details or to make reservations for the 2013 Feng Shui Updates, please call +63 9209509390, visi any WOFS boutique or email wofsphilippines@gmail.com.

Global Hand washing Day is celebrated during the month of October. In support of this, Safeguard launched the Safeguard Soap Alarm, a soap dispenser created to alert people of the importance of hand washing after using public toilets.

Forgetting to wash your hands after using a public toilet is indeed very alarming as they contain an estimated 3.2 million germs per square inch. And these germs can cause serious diseases like hepatitis or diarrhea.


To encourage public toilet users to wash their hands with Safeguard, the Soap Alarm was mounted in a fast food chain (McDonald’s SM Marikina). And for the duration of its run, more than 9,000 customers were alarmed.

The Soap Alarm worked this way:

1. A person enters the toilet, locks the door, and does his business.

 2. As he unlocks the door to step out, he triggers the Soap Alarm.

 3. To stop the alarm, he dispenses Safeguard Anti-bacterial Hand Soap onto his hands.

 4. Above the soap alarm is a warning and hand washing instruction guide that he can follow.

The Soap Alarm caught the attention of moms, dads, kids, students and barkadas - prompting them to wash their hands immediately with Safeguard not only to stop the alarm but, more importantly, to stop the spread of germs.

It was my first time to have a manicure in a salon and do some coloring to my nails when I was invited to have a pampering for my self and give a little time to enjoy the foot spa with pedicure and manicure. Nailandia, this nail studio and body spa is really new to me. Maybe because they just started for just a month and so.  The place was not too hard to find because it was located along the street of Tomas Morato where you can use the  Zirko Bar as the landmarks.


The place was so homey and the ambiance is really relaxing as if you are only in your house and staying in some familiar part of it. The receptionist is very approachable as well as the crew. They prepare the things that they might use for my hand and foot pampering and served me with a glass of iced tea for refreshment while soaking my feet in warm water.






I have a chance to talk to them while having my free foot spa with pedicure and manicure at the same time. I feel like a princess because I have two servants who works for my feet and hands at the same time.




Having a reviews like this is really fun specially when the people who is in front of you are really nice and very attentive to things that you will need. Colors in my nails is totally something new to me, I choose the color who looks like natural or nude, that is I think the best for me or at least I think fits for me because I don't really like to have a nail polish in my nails, it's just that I have to try the Jennifer Lynn's products. Jelly nail polish, that was they say about it and they said that its hard to remove because it has some kind of special removal to clean up your nails when you wanted it to take off or to replace. 




At first, my hands feel a little heavy because of the nail colors that they put on in my nails. I love their UV nail dryer, I was so hesitant to move my fingers and keep closing my palm. Then, eventually I get used to it, after a few days I saw that the nail colors started to chips. I saw it from the tip and the rest is follow. I feel sorry because it chips already after three days. 




It took me some time to removed the nail polish because I have no time to visit Nailandia once again to have it colored again like what they said or to have have it remove with them. So, I removed it with my own risk. I think Jennifer Lynn's product is best when you have to have change your nail colors in more frequently. I think it's effective to celebrities like Karylle who happens I be there too to have her nails done for an event in the evening and will change again after a day or two for some shows or events that she may be attending.




I wish that Jennifer Lynn will not get disappointed to what I have said in here because I only tell things that had happen and based on my experience as a first timer having my nails done with colors. I felt bad because I did like the neutral color that I had but it was easily chips. I wish that I can still have a chance to do it again and get comfortable having nail polish in my nails. Thanks Ginger for the invites and hoping to review more of nail colors or nail care in the future. Cheers!
