Benevolent Reaction
One of these personalities who wanted to show his care for the grieving family was Popular Entertainer (PE). Over the years, PE has gone through ups and downs, and at the moment, he is recovering his lost ground. PE used to behave like he owned the world and was on the side of righteousness, but a series of personal crises resulted in humbling experiences. At a certain point in his life, PE had a wakeup call and soon, things began to be positive for his career again.
That night, PE and some of his friends decided to show up and console the family. While the gesture was sincere, there was an obvious issue. PE and his friends tagged along women who were not properly dressed for the circumstance. When the entourage arrived, attention was focused on PE, who is still a big celebrity after all. Then, the women came in view and people in the place were distracted with their attire of short shorts. Worse, wagging tongues assumed the women to be one-time dates of PE and friends who might have joined them for the ride and probably party later on.
When the family was informed that PE and his friends were around, it took a few moments until a close relation came over. PE was then told that the most Grieving Relative (GR) was not in the best position to meet them. GR was, of course, still in a state of unfathomable grief. Instead of demanding that GR should at the very least show her face to him, PE understood the situation. After a few minutes, he and his entourage left the place without any issue.

By George, She Did It! Georgina Wilson Tackles Motherhood with Reliable Partner from Italy: Chicco Baby Products
After her dreamy wedding to Arthur Burnand, a British businessman and hotelier in April 2016, the 31-year-old model, TV host and entrepreneur was surprised to find out four months later that she was pregnant. But she embraced her new role wholeheartedly, with the same drive and passion she brings into her career.
George researched and prepared herself as much as she could, wanting only the best for her coming baby. Then she came across CHICCO, a beloved brand from Italy that has been making high quality baby products, toys, carriers, strollers, walkers and playpens since 1958. Immediately, she knew she would be able to trust the brand to help her take care of her baby.
"Nobody thought I would be super excited to be a wife or a mom since I was very career-driven. When I got married, it was not in my plan to have a baby so soon, so I was so surprised when I found out. I was like, 'Wow, this is happening!'" Georgina shares with a laugh. "But there are some things in life that you can plan for, and there are some things that just happen at the right time," she adds.
So in December 2016, she gave birth to Archie. It was challenging at first, but she was determined to learn as much as she could. "I planned as much as I can because, really, you’re dealing with another individual. Archie is a human being too and he has his own kind of sets of wants, needs. He has his own thing going on so being a mother has taught me that I am not in control of everything. It was very difficult but an important lesson as well," says Georgina.
Georgina believes that motherhood has changed her, and made her stronger. "I was so excited to do breastfeeding, but it was extremely challenging. I was in pain, and was up for so long during the night. Night after night I was up from midnight until 7am," she recalls. "I wish somebody would just have told me that it is this difficult. Mothers are strong women that sometimes they forget to share such difficulties. That's why I’m sharing my story — so that other moms will be empowered to feel okay when they have difficulties, that the pain is part of motherhood, and it's okay to have that."
Despite the many challenges, Georgina says motherhood is extremely rewarding, and having her son Archie makes all the stress worth it. "The pros outweigh the cons all the time," she chuckles. "The first few months were difficult. But Archie is so loveable and he’s such a good boy! He’s such a nice baby that I have to share him with so many people. So even if I am his mom, everyone loves him so much so I feel that he is not just mine, you know. Even fans come up to us and ask him for a photo with them so I think he has grown to love that. Well, that’s a different and nice way of growing up."
Jetsetting Mom, Jetsetter Baby
Georgina is no stranger to travelling, having grown up in four different continents before her family settled in Manila when she was 10. And her work takes her to different parts of the globe. As such, she considers herself a bit of an expert now when it comes to travelling, and the best part for her is when she is able to bring her son Archie along.
"Archie has been to lots of countries already. When he was 3 weeks old, we brought him to England and since then he has been traveling! Every week he has a flight. He has been to Hong Kong, Shanghai, Sydney, Queenstown, Tokyo, L.A., Paris, Copenhagen… and I think I’m missing some more. But at his age, that’s a lot of places to have been to. In the Philippines, he’s been to Siargao, and Palawan," she shares.
"The thing is, everytime I bring him somewhere new, he learns something. When he gets exposed to these new environments and when I bring him around with me, he discovers something new," reveals Georgina. "Like the first time I brought him to Palawan, he started talking!" says the happily proud mom.
As a self-confessed nerd who loves to research products and tips for traveling and other adventures, Georgina has her own list of travelling essentials. "Number one on the list is our car seat. It is super important, and I really want to raise awareness on car safety, especially here in the Philippines. I don’t like how it’s NOT mandatory here to have car seats for children. Just Google "car crashes without car seats" and you'll see it’s not a joke," Mrs. Wilson-Burnand says in a serious tone. "So number one travel essential is my CHICCO car seat that fits perfectly. I bring the CHICCO walker too, because Archie is obsessed with it, and they’re handy to bring."
"I’ve always wanted the best for myself. But now that I’m a mom, it’s like going into another level," adds the young mom. "The car seat, it’s a necessity, it’s something that your child needs. And I always choose CHICCO, which is Europe’s #1 baby brand, because they take safety and quality seriously. You don't have to take my word for it, you can search online for the safest car seat, and CHICCO is up there. There are even testimonials on how—during worst scenario cases like an accident, CHICCO always delivers. There really is no price on safety and quality," says Georgina.
Another travel essential for Georgina is the mobile playpen. "It’s also CHICCO and really perfect for Archie and it’s really handy so I’ve been bringing it along for our travels. Since I’m traveling without a yaya, I always have to make sure that when I shower or do something, I just put him in that playpen so I could still watch over him," she shares.
Then there is the CHICCO walker that Archie is really fond of. "The amazing part is, he learned how to do three-point turns or how to back up, how to speed up and how to spin on his own. It’s incredibly important to give children the right things because it somehow speeds up their development," says Georgina.
Even when it comes to baby clothing, Georgina trusts CHICCO. "Archie is like the perfect CHICCO baby because of his easygoing and lovable personality. I like it when babies are dressed to look like babies, which is more natural. I don’t like them to look like little adults or what," reveals the young mom. "And I give Arch clothes for two-year olds, because he’s that big!"
"It may seem kind of weird, but I think Archie was born to have his own kind of look, from his name, to the way he dresses. I feel that I knew him already before he came out of my tummy. I don’t know how to describe it but he really has his own thing going on. And so I feel that’s the reason why it’s so easy to dress him up because I know what looks good on him. He has his own style," says Georgina with a smile.
When she's not traveling, Georgina is a very hands-on mom and is seen to bring Archie around with his CHICCO stroller and carrier. "There’s not much that I do that Archie doesn’t do. I mean, I bring him with me everywhere and some people are shocked to see that because he’s a baby. I don’t know, but he seems happy to be with me all the time. So everyday, we do something together," chuckles Georgina.
Motherhood Brings Her Balance
Before she gave birth to Archie, Georgina worked out a lot and even did prenatal Pilates, which helped her avoid back pains usually associated with pregnancy. "I'm really proud of that, but the next time—if I get pregnant again—I will do a lot more swimming, too. I wish I did, but I only found out I was pregnant four months into it, so my pregnancy flew by so fast," she adds with a laugh.
Georgina is also thankful for her husband Arthur's support, whom she considers her and Archie's hero. "Arthur is like the best dad. He’s so hands-on and really sees himself as Archie’s best friend. He’s based in Shanghai but he’s here every week and when he’s here, they do everything together!" she reveals.
The young wife and mother also shares that she is enjoying life to the full. "Now I just keep telling my mom: 'Mom, why didn’t you tell me about all these sooner? It’s the best thing that has ever happened to my life!'"
"I actually feel like I'm turning out to be my mom whose EQ is crazy high, so I appreciate my mom more now," she says. "When people ask me, ‘What do you want Archie to be when he grows up?’ I say I don't know. I respect Archie as his own individual being, and I want him to do whatever he wants. I'm pretty conscious not to put any pressure on Archie, or comparing him with other kids. I always say he's perfect just the way he is. I guess in that sense I am becoming more and more like my mom this way."
Georgina's favorite part of motherhood is waking up to see her growing little boy. "When we look at each other eye to eye as soon as we wake up... oh my gosh, I don't know how to describe that. No matter how tired I am, I would just have to look at him, and when he smiles at me, it's just the best."
"I guess life is just about finding balance. And I guess things are much easier now than it was the first few months. Motherhood has also made me so much more relaxed. I'm more chill, bad things don't get me worked up anymore. My friends even tell me there's a different aura about me, and that I feel so confident now," says Georgina reflectively. "Everything in my life now has been put into perspective. I'm a mom now. Nothing could be bigger than that!"

Glow from Within, Take Care of Your Skin. Aloe Vera, the Main Organic Ingredient of Grace Cosmetics, Is Best for Skin
Filipinos have long been using extracts from Aloe Vera plants as a way to grow healthier hair. Locally known as “sabila”, the plant has been grown in many Filipino backyards because it has long been believed that rubbing the raw sticky gel from the plant’s leaves can encourage the growth of long, lustrous, and healthy hair.
What most Filipinos don’t know is that Aloe Vera’s benefits can even go beyond basic hair care. Australian beauty company Grace Cosmetics will soon be available in the Philippines and as it launches its line of bio-active products with high organic Aloe Vera content combined with natural and botanical ingredients for skin, beauty and wellness benefits.
Alove Vera for supple skin
Aloe Vera extracts have been found to be good for the skin, as a topical remedy for burns and sunburns, cuts, and other skin irritations. It contains an enzyme called bradykinase that helps soothe skin irritation.
It can also help smoothen and moisturize skin: historical research has even shown that Egyptian queens Cleopatra and Nefertiti used it as part of their beauty regimens. A paper published the by Indian School of Dermatology cites that Aloe stimulates fibroblast which produces the collagen and elastin fibers, making the skin more elastic and less wrinkled. The study also says that the amino acids in Aloe also soften hardened skin cells and its zinc acts as an astringent to tighten pores.
While the traditional way of using Aloe Vera was to extract the leaf’s gel by hand and apply it directly to the skin, there is now a more convenient way to harness its beauty benefits. Grace Cosmetics offers products with higher content of Aloe Vera, channeling its age-defying benefits, with lightened age-spots, decreases in fine line and wrinkles, stimulation of collagen production and reductions in pigmentation, with long lasting results. From moisturizer, foaming cleanser, soothing spray, pure aloe gel, face lift activator, sunscreen, facial cleanser, eye and nourishing creams, Grace Cosmetics products are all Aloe Vera-based.
Beauty, health and wellness in an Aloe Vera beverage
Another benefit of Aloe Vera is as a health tonic. Research has been done on its health benefits as a beverage, which helps in detoxifying the body with its combination of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.
An amazing feature of Aloe Vera is its ability to deliver over 200 health-promoting nutrients directly to the body's cells. Healthy cells assist gastro-intestinal integrity and support immune function. It is said to be good for the digestion, with healing properties that help lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels. The polysaccharides in Aloe Vera extracts also help boost the immune system and exhibit antiseptic properties that help fight harmful microorganisms.
The whole family can benefit from a daily glass with the health-boosting properties of Aloe Vera. New Leaf from Grace Cosmetics is a healthy, refreshing, and great-tasting beverage line that contains over 200 active ingredients in nature's most bioavailable form. It contains Aloe Barbadensis Miller with a 99.8% Polysaccharide count in 1200-2000mg per liter of Cold Pressed, hand-filleted, pure inner gel, micropulp retained juice.
Filipinos can soon get to enjoy the beauty and health benefits of Aloe Vera with the launch of 33-year-old Grace Cosmetics this February 8 and 9, 2017 with Founding Family Member Julie Fittler Charanduk visiting from Australia to formally launch the new brand with its first Licensee and Exclusive Philippine Distributor, Myrna T. Yao.
The entry of the exciting new range of skin care products was made possible through the appointment of Pro Ma System to Grace Philippines Industries Inc as Licensee and Exclusive Distributor in the Philippines, headed by Myrna T. Yao, Filipina entrepreneur and CEO of RichPrime Global, Inc.
“Aloe vera is a gift, a grace from God, because it is a healing plant and He intended for us to use it for our good. Ever since I was young, I’ve always strived to do things that would always benefit others. That’s why I invested in quality toys and products for children, so that our customers will not get harmed while using them. Same with the baby products we carry in our company,” Yao said.

Why am I Not Losing Weight?
You probably have asked yourself a couple of times before and yet you still keep asking. You probably have done many workouts, tried different diets and weight loss supplements but here you are, wondering why you have not lost the weight you wanted? Simply because, there are factors you have to consider as well when trying to lose weight. You’ll probably need this more after the holiday season is over. Since it’s the holiday season, know how you can lose all the weight you’ve put on.
1. You don’t eat healthy enough – Eating a salad makes you feel refreshed and healthy but it’s not enough. Eating healthy means everything that you eat and drink shall be healthy. You may have tried eating healthily yet you still continue to drink sugary sodas, creamy coffees and artificial fruit juices which contain a lot of sugar and fat.
2. You still eat junk food – Eating junk food does you no good at all. It is loaded with sodium, fat and calories which are the perfect ingredients for weight gain. In order to be successful in your weight loss plans, you have to cut down junk food consumption and try looking for alternatives.
3. You think you’ve exercised enough – Exercising a few times a week may not be enough for you. This is because exercise responds to different body types. You must make sure you at least up your game and try exercising every day instead of once or twice a week. With this, you might see results faster than you expected.
4. You don’t get enough sleep – When you don’t get enough sleep, you eat more the following day which makes you gain weight. When you are on a weight loss program, make sure you get enough shut eye every night.
5. You don’t cleanse and detox – When you don’t cleanse enough, your body may be filled with toxins which affect your hormones—this can cause weight gain. Cleansing and detoxifying regularly helps you lose weight and make sure your insides are toxins free. With the help of supplements, you can do this without the hassle of usual cleansing.
Speaking of supplements, you just have to look for components such as Oat Fiber, Alfalfa, Aloe Vera and Psyllium Husk that is responsible for easy colon cleanse and Green Tea and Pu’er Tea which helps your body digest fat faster than normal.
Each of these components have their corresponding health benefits that when combined, will result to amazing detoxification and cleansing of the body. Oat Fiber helps in controlling the appetite which prevents you from craving foods that are not nutritional, Alfalfa helps in nourishing the digestive system, Aloe Vera helps in cleaning the gut, Psyllium Husk makes you feel fuller for a longer period of time while making sure the digestive tract is cleansed. Green Tea on the other hand is popular for burning excess fat by speeding up the metabolism and Pu’er Tea is helps eliminate the fats that are hard to digest. Once you know a product with these components, take a hold of it because surely, you will see fast results while keeping you healthy! There are many brands but FatOut is the only supplement that contains all these components! Talk of the town is that FatOut is now more affordable than ever! Head over to nearby Mercury Drug stores and check it out now.
