Happiness, a Healthy Recipe for the Skin

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Do happy people have better skin? Are people with great skin usually happier? It's like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg?

We do know that a happy life could have a positive effect on our physical features since having little stress would make us look less older. Happiness could really be the key to clear skin, and frowning causes facial lines and wrinkles.

Did you know that you only need 17 muscles smile, versus the 43 muscles needed to frown? To make matters worse frowning causes facial lines and wrinkles, making you look old and tired.

Flashing a smile does not take much effort. Aside from being gracious and friendly you are actually spreading good cheer.

The positive vibe resonates even among strangers. In a room full of people, notice how you are easily drawn to the one who flashes a beautiful smile. Having a light and cheerful outlook easily spells happiness. It is an unexpected treat especially when one is having a stressful day.

Starting the day with an infectious smile, is like opening the door to more good tidings. You feel light, happy and beautiful. There will always be days when our patience will be tried and tested. But we can always choose to lighten the load by looking at the bright side, or taking a deep breath to and allow the entry of positive vibes.

Happy feeling is caused by the release of neurotransmitters like endorphins, dopamine and serotonin.

Every time we receive good news or we feel excited the brain releases these happy hormones into the nervous system bringing out infectious giggles and laughter. This simply means that happiness can be found around the corner. We don’t have to wait for good news or thrilling events to happen. With a little bit of freedom and creativity, we are capable of experiencing happiness.


Goal Fulfillment

When you feel good about accomplishing your desired task for the day, or your boss compliments your excellent performance that wonderful feeling is known as a dopamine hit. You can achieve that vibe, by setting realistic goals or by simply finding ways to love your work.


Regular Exercise

Seratonin is a natural anti-depressant. You release a healthy amount of serotonin when you exercise regularly. A 10-minute brisk walk, or 30-minute hip hop exercise can do wonders to your mood.


Healthy Skin

Maintaining a happy disposition also brings out a youthful glow. Positive emotions promote skin renewal because it keeps the hormones in check. Notice how pimples immediately show up when you are sad and stressed out. Aside from negative emotions, other factors that can cause pimples include poor diet, genetics and exposure to dirt and pollution.

Due to uncontrollable elements like excessive heat from the sun or smoke from passing smoke belching vehicles, or even the spicy foods we eat could contribute to a sudden outburst of skin imperfections especially if we fail to wash our face immediately. Even the soap we used could aggravate the skin situation causing allergies or unflattering acne.

Using a healthy skin-care regimen like Proactiv helps clear the skin with acne and blemishes and helps people to be stress-free.

Achieving healthy skin could get easier as one, two, three steps. Address skin problem areas like pimples, blemishes and breakouts with the Proactiv+ 3-Step Clear Skin System. It uses the Smart Target technology to deliver anti-acne formulation directly to the pores.

The Proactiv+ 3-step Clear System starts with Step 1: Skin Smoothing Exfoliator. After washing with a facial cleanser to remove dirt, oil and other impurities, apply the exfoliator on damp skin. Give the face a two-minute massage before completely rinsing with warm water.

The second step is the Pore Targeting Treatment which stops the acne at the source. The blemish-fighting solution is directly applied on the pores by spreading it evenly all over cheeks, forehead nose and chin. Leave on face until full absorption.

The final process of the Proactiv+ 3-Step Skin System repairs the skin with the Complexion Perfect Hydrator. The moisturizer heals redness, helps diminish awkward acne marks and brightens skin.

Why You Must Stop Hiring Celebrity Endorsers

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The disadvantage of regular bloggers/vloggers with celebrity bloggers/vloggers? They have the funds to have top gadgets, they can hire other people to edit or improve their works ,(photo, video, music), or do almost everything for them. They could even pay to boost their posts and engagements.

In short, celebrities do not mostly do the actual.job but they get away with it.

The advantage? Regular bloggers are more truthful. Celebrities mostly fake it. They exaggerate, and twist their stories to make their clients look good. Just like the morning shows where everywhere they go, and everything they ate are all good and none had any negative traits.

Real bloggers/vloggers would squeeze the truth out of the persons they are interviewing, and their features would normally be their personal efforts...not done by a Personal Assistant or boosted by a Social Media Manager.

One time there was this female celebrity who didn't even know the proper usage of a product she was endorsing. She was making a mess with her claims during the media launch. It had to take a press release a few days after to correct her claims.

This was because celebrities usually accept endorsement jobs because they either get paid and/or pampered with products or services, and other perks that ordinary bloggrrs/vlogger wouldn't normally receive. They would accept every opportunity that comes their way, regardless if they are a patron of the brand or not.

Along with many irregularities like recruiting an already white complexioned individual to endorse a whitening soap, a fit and slim guy to endorse donuts, a rich dude to endorse canned sardines, etc., getting celebrities as endorsers makes you unbelievable that people will just find you hilarious.

There would still be the ever so gullible fans, but those stupid enough to believe are mostly those unable to buy the products or services on a regular basis. and the fans who.support get financed to keep followers at bay especially when wanting to have a viral or trending post. Yup, celebrities usually have a "call center" setup that gather together to make it appear the celebrity is popular.

This is why smart advertisers hire new faces to  stsr in their ads or commercials. They are more relatable because you don't imagine the celebrity from her previous stints in a TV series or movie. You identify yourself with the new and more convincing face.

I know many are still gullible, but the learned upper class will find you offensive to their intelligence if you keep using celebrity endorsers just to capitalize on their popularity rather than confidently putting out the strengths of your brand to get attention.

A good product does not need a celebrity endorser who is only after the money and not sincerely advocating for the superiority of your brand.

Just as nrands would quickly drop a celebrity if they become too inappropriate to the image they are trying to project, celebrity endorsers would always go for the highest talent fee offer.

Trabaho lang at walang personalan.

Trash the SOGIE Bill, No to Special Treatment, Yes to Equality

Wazzup Pilipinas!

We don't need new laws for the LGBTQIA+ community.

They seek acceptance from straight people but they themselves have not accepted who they were.

Huwag po tayong maging kunsintidor sa kanilang naging kahinaan. Not accepting their original gender was already a sign of their weakness. They've given up on their true selves and instead trying to live a life of fantasy. Because no matter what they do, they remain male in the eyes of many, including God, if ever they believe in a Lord almighty.

We continue to encourage them to give up their true selves if we keep on identifying them as special or treating them as real women.

Nevertheless, for mutual peace of mind, we accepted them. We have witnessed them excel in many industries. We congratulated them for their achievements. We were proud of them for working hard in reaching their ultimate goals.

Yet that hunger for more perks is not good at all.Forcing us by a threatening law would only hinder the acceptance once accorded. It will only put us both in an uncomfortable situation.

I have friends belonging to the same community but I don't see many of them making noise to be accorded special privileges. Only those with aggressive personalities are joining the call for the law. Only those who tend to gain are twisting the arms of everyone else they meet. Only those who have friends of the same call are joining the bandwagon.

Many just follow the existing law. They don't cry foul because they know that total transition will not immediately take place. Patience is the key. Acceptance should not be forced.

Just continue proving to society that you are worthy and please cleanse your community from the likes of Vice Ganda and his foul style of humor. We do not appreciate making fun of the shortcomings of others as a form of comedy. He only brings down the image of the LGBT community. He is there only as a comedian. Nothing more. We laught at him, not with him.

Be enlightened. Equality means having to follow the same law and not drafting a new one exclusive to a few. That clamor for SOGIE BILL is called demanding for special treatment! That is called trying to gain an advantage over the majority who are seen as straight and mentally balanced.

Lastly, stop using your influence to wrongly steer people towards the wrong direction. I know you mean well but look at the bigger picture. Look at the rights of the majority who have been considerate enough to accept the irregularities yet are now facing scrutiny for believing on what God has intended.

Stop dividing us when we are already on the verge of unification. If you seek equality, stop identifying yourselves as a special case.

Sasabihin nila na discriminated sila pero pansinin ninyo, most of the people they prefer to work with are their fellow LGBTs. In a company led by an LGBT, majority of the people they will hire are of their kind o kaya ay babae, liban na lang kung guapo ang aplikante. Less priority kapag straight.

Sino ngayon ang nag di discriminate?
