I know and choose Caronia for so many years. Caronia became a certified household nail care brand with its TV and radio commercials, catchy jingle and through the use of admired celebrity endorsers. 

Caronia has been the go-to nail polish brand of Filipinas for half a century now and the brand still holds their reputation of being the most trusted nail polish brand in the country.

For the Tropical Glam collection, we also opted to focus on softer but shimmering pastel colors that can mix and match with any outfit or with any activity most girls have planned for the summer,” said by Caronia Brand Officer Rachel Enciso. 

Whether heading out to the beach or just frolicking in the malls, girls can fabulously nail their summer vibe by putting on any of the fun pastel, summery, and glittery shade of Caronia’s Tropical Glam collection.

Now, with these summer colors, girls will not only have confidence and positivity but style and glamour as well. The collection is truly for “girls who are glamorously summer crazy”

The Tropical Glam collection has six trendy and glamorous colors in two collection packs – the Tropical Glam Shimmer set and the Tropical Glam Metallic set, that girls can choose from.

L.A. Santos with millenial version for "Isang Linggong Pag-Ibig"

Tweet

Young singer-actor L.A. Santos now embodies millenial version for "Isang Linggong Pag-Ibig" revival.

I called him #Petmalu, teen singing idol last time I met him. L.A. has done quite a remarkable job in the entertainment industry. A recording artist under Star Music, L.A.  has several songs that hit the radio stations including "Miss Terror," "Mine," "Ikaw Kasi," "Bakit Ang Pag-Ibig," "Hanggang Kailan," "When I Was Your Man," "Forever's Not Enough," "One Greatest Love" and "Tinamaan, " "Grown Up Man," and "Anyare."

Epitome of the essentials for the millennial version of ‘Isang Linggong Pag-ibig.”

Thus veteran singer and entertainment producer Imelda Papin described young singer-actor L.A. Santos 

“Given his qualities as an emergent millennial artist in the contemporary music scene, L.A. is the best to revive the song among the male singers,” Ms. Papin stated, adding, “So we finalized the idea. I said, sige i-record na natin. Sabi ko, ako na mag-produce para mas maganda.”

The millennial take of the song gives a more upbeat and RnB kind of feel for the song which embodies L.A. Santos as well as a young adult.

L.A.'s latest single was produced under Papin Entertainment Productions, for release by  ABS-CBN’s Star Music.

A composition of Mon Del Rosario, the original Imelda Papin song "Isang Linggong Pag-Ibig" was released in 1992 and became an instant phenomenal hit. It dominated the local airwaves for a substantial time period making the producer earn a multiple platinum sales record.

LA felt very grateful and honored that among all the singers today, he was given the opportunity to sing a classic song that many can relate to. 

At the recent blog conference held at Papa Kim's in Tomas Morato , Quezon City, LA shared how he met Ms. Imelda Papin. He said that he was the front act in the Jukebox Queens Concert.

During their rehearsal he got the chance to talk to Ms. Papin about his style in singing, his genre of songs, his love for classic songs and that he told Ms. Papin that he is a big fan of her music. 

Ms. Papin gave him a lot of advice when it comes to singing. Gladly that Ms. Papin even introduced him to her vocal coach. 

LA said that he was a big fan of Ms. Papin and he also love the song "Isang Linggong Pag-Ibig" as he always listen from his mom, who also a fan of the song and of the well known OPM singer Jukebox Queen Imelda Papin. 

L.A   also loves to act. He recently was part of the action film "MARIA" starred by Cristine Reyes under Viva Films. When asked who he wishes to work with in the showbiz, he mentioned "Janella Salvador." 

The emergent recording artist, L.A. also said that he will also try to produce and continue to compose his own songs and, prioritize his study. He is a student at University of Santo Tomas (UST).

L.A. enjoys online musical platforms like Spotify, Apple Store and doing the music video.

Capture the joy of traveling with the reliable Vivo V15 Pro

Tweet

Traveling has now become an essential part of life, allowing people to make unforgettable adventures and wonderful memories. One’s bucket list will not be complete without a visit to a dream destination. With affordable travel, the world has become a smaller place in a good way, with people being able to experience different cultures.

There are different types of travelers—backpacker, experiential, luxury—with each one having their reasons for wandering, and along with it, their own set of travel must-haves.

Not all backpackers are budget travelers. They just find it easier to move around a city or a province with just a bag on their backs. What these adventure seekers need is a sturdy backpack made of light but durable materials, a good pair of shoes that can help make walking more comfortable, and clothes made from light materials that are not bulky to carry.

For experiential travelers who want to immerse themselves in a country's culture, a language translation app would be very helpful in starting off a conversation with the locals. A pocket Wi-Fi is also essential especially if you rely on Google Maps or navigation apps.

Luxury travelers may not have to worry about many things, but they too should be mindful of travel essentials like cash especially since there are countries which still prefer currency over a credit card.

While they may have unique goals that require different items, these wanderlust-stricken individuals all share one travel need—capturing the priceless moments in their trips—that can be satisfied with using a high-quality smartphone that features the latest camera technology, like the Vivo V15 Pro.

Having a smartphone with a powerful 48MP AI (artificial intelligence) Triple Rear Camera can bring peace of mind that every exciting moment is captured in images. Travelers can take professional-grade photos that are not only IG-worthy but also ideal for printing. The lenses are powered with 48 Million Quad Pixel Sensor, an 8MP AI Super Wide-Angle Camera, and a 5MP Depth camera.

The 32MP Elevating Selfie Camera now also serves as a personal photographer because gone are the days when selfies will only be that, selfies. With the Vivo V15 Pro, travelers can take their photos with the beautiful background. The photo might not look like a selfie shot because it can capture landscapes or even tall buildings.

Before, the panorama feature of phone cameras somehow distorts the image making the photos look like taken with fisheye lens. But what if you just want a normal looking photo of a beach from end to end? The V15 Pro’s 8MP AI Super Wide-Angle will do the job of having your photograph and the background as well.

One of the most common nuisances among mobile photography enthusiasts is the low-light mode of some smartphones. Vivo V15 Pro's AI Super Night Mode does the trick of shooting a beautiful city skyline. Nothing beats the happiness of a city slicker traveler when he or she is able to shoot an almost perfect night scene with either colorful lights or bokeh.

When a really good photograph is a must-have for a traveler, then a really good camera phone with the latest AI features should be a primary consideration when deciding on what smartphone to buy. Vivo V15 Pro just wants every traveler to eliminate needless worries like missing a good shot. Its design, especially the camera, lenses, and display, is perfectly suited not only for day-to-day photo ops but also for different kinds of travel, so you won’t miss a single shot that captures the joy of traveling.

Limited time offer

Those who want to get the Vivo V15 Pro for its AI camera technology are in for a treat as Vivo is also giving away a set of exclusive perks for those who make advance orders of its latest flagship smartphone.

Customers who pre-order the V15 Pro online until April 11 can score a JBL Clip 3 portable Bluetooth speaker, an extended 6 months phone warranty and can also avail of a screen protection warranty, wherein they will only need to pay P500 to have their damaged or broken screens replaced within 6 months from receiving their pre-ordered units. To pre-order the Vivo V15 Pro today, visit https://vivoglobal.ph/v15preorder/.

The V15 Pro will be available in the local market starting April 12. Vivo will offer the smartphone at 0% interest, thru 6-9 months installment payments using major credit cards and Home Credit, at all participating stores nationwide.

Roma found herself moving to Manila along with her family and her husband and currently has a career in recruitment. She is also a passionate Buddhism practitioner, and led her to use her musical talent for the betterment of a country that gave her so much.  

Musical Soiree came  into fruition ib 2014 due to this idea of giving back to the comminity. Roma feel fulfilled by this event, which gives her an opportunity to singthus bringing her joy while creating value in our society. 

Proceeds of "Musical Soiree V" will go towards financing the education of 33 elementary school students from Tahanan ng Pagmamahal. This is the second year that Roma's concert will be benefiting this Taguig-based non-profit organization. In its first year, the profits of this charity event helped the organization Ang Misyon. The Musical Soiree events have also supported the orphanage "Shepherd of the Hills" for the past two years. In addition, the show exposes these organizations to potential donors, further supporting these charitable cause.

Everyone is beautiful, dark or white

Tweet

Beauty should never have been one or the other, as claimed by SkinWhite in their new campaign.

Dark Skin versus White Skin. Does it really matter? Does one always have to be superior over the other? SkinWhiteis saying otherwise.

One would wonder why a skin whitening brand such as SkinWhite would dare to say that dark skin is beautiful.

“It’s all about choice”, says Rachelle Layda, Marketing Manager for Whitening of Splash Corporation. “SkinWhiteis a brand that empowers women to choose. A choice to define their own standard of beauty. If you choose to have dark skin, you are beautiful. If you choose to have white skin, you are just as beautiful. The choice is yours, and SkinWhite respects that choice”.

This inclusivity is refreshing and speak volumes, especially at a time when shaming and bullying is prevalent across social media. Bashers and haters abound online with no agenda but to shame in all forms and ways – body-shaming, hair-shaming, race-shaming, gender-shaming, and yes, also skin-shaming. “This is precisely the stigma that we wish to change. Skin color should not be about one being better than the other”, adds Pam Sulit, Splash Corporation’s VP for Marketing.

“White and dark are both beautiful.” confirms Rachel Villanueva, Creative Director of Petch & Partners, the creative agency that created this campaign for SkinWhite. She continues, “It’s about time that dark skin and white skin get the same adoration and acknowledgment.”

There has never been an outright claim that DARK IS BEAUTIFUL. And for the statement to come from a skin whitening brand, it should be easy for others to follow suit. 

And for those who choose that WHITE IS BEAUTIFUL, there’s due acknowledgement that they’re simply taking control of their beauty too. And why not? Wear your skin, whichever way you choose. 

Because DARK OR WHITE, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.
