I’m still earning with Ciao

March 4, 2009 by 5 Comments

Ciao is an online consumer community that lets you review of the products you used. It is helpful to all consumers because you can read other opinions by users before buying a product. You can also participate by writing product reviews of your own and let other people know about your experience. Be very detailed and specific with your reviews, if readers find your reviews, useful, they can rate it as “exceptional”, “very helpful”, “helpful”, etc…

Knowing some feedbacks about a particular product is a good thing in Ciao, but earning through your own product reviews and reading other people’s feedbacks is another thing. Last year, I wrote about the easy way to earn money on Ciao, and it has gotten a lot of positive feedbacks especially from people whose main objective is to earn money online. Later on, Ciao changed its incentive scheme which made me lose my interest on them for quite some time. Aside from that, plagiarism is very rampant with other users. They will copy product reviews from other review sites and post it as their own for others to rate. What’s amazing is that they earned a lot from it, after reporting some of them, I got tired and completely forgot about Ciao for more than 3 months.

Out of curiosity, I checked my Ciao account to see what’s going on and I was completely surprised to see that I earned without me doing anything. I withdrew my earnings from them before I left Ciao. Now, I earned $17.13 after my inactivity for three months. They still pay for reviews and ratings made after all. Just make sure that your review is helpful, detailed and honest and you’ll surely get high ratings and high earnings as well.

Blue Water Day Spa Capitol Hills Grand Opening

February 25, 2009 by 16 Comments

I’m one of the 10 bloggers who was invited by Mr. Francis Simisim of Techfilipino.com to witness the unveiling of the newest branch of Blue Water Day Spa at Capitol Hills, Quezon City. I failed to experience the Spa Movie Theater at their Ortigas branch because of conflict on my schedule so I vowed to myself not to miss this one. Aside from that, I am ecstatic to meet Piolo Pascual and Marian Rivera in person, the two are the celebrity endorsers of Blue Water Day Spa. Meeting these two gorgeous people, especially Piolo Pascual, already brought me to cloud nine. Marian Rivera is like a doll with her beautiful face.

If you’re still yearning for some TLC from a masseuse, Blue Water Day Spa has well-trained and courteous ladies waiting to take care of you. I love the concept of the rooms in the spa which are labeled as Heavenly, Tranquility, Serenity, etc… Just take your pick and I’m sure you’ll feel relaxed and revived all the same.

The location of the newest branch is perfect! Going to the Capitol Hills branch is a relaxation for the body, mind and soul. It’s surely an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city without leaving the city. Tucked away within the luscious greens of the golf course, visiting the spa literally meant a breathe of fresh air.

And after your massage, go out, lounge and grab your cup of tea and watch the sunset….

Beauty Credit’s Charcoal Nose Pore Cleaning Patch

February 23, 2009 by 6 Comments

Blackheads and whiteheads, especially in the nose area, are any vain person’s worst enemy! No matter how many times you get rid of them, they keep coming back. But hey, I’ve found my holy grail and I’m spreading the news! Remember those pore strips for the nose you’ve found in the malls that promises to get rid of blackheads and whiteheads but didn’t? I’ve tried any brand possible during my teenage years but all that’s left is a sticky nose with blackheads and whiteheads still.

Charcoal Nose Pore Cleaning Patch from Beauty Credit, Php 35 each

How to get rid of blackheads and whiteheads? A perennial question that requires perennial search over that one effective solution. I hope my latest beauty haul will be the answer to my problem. I’ve been buying Korean beauty products lately and one of them is the brand, Beauty Credit. The SAs promised me that there Charcoal Nose Pore Cleaning Patch really works and can lift off blackheads and whiteheads away. For just Php 35, I gave it a try. Here’s what the package says:

Control sebum with charcoal
Absorbent charcoal removes black heads and sebum hidden in pores to keep skin clear and fair.
Healthy skin with natural nutrients
Licorice extracts with soothing effect and minerals in charcoal keep the skin healthy without irritation and Hamamelis with pore astringing effect controls widened pores, leaving the skin fair and smooth looking

Ingredients:


aqua, acrylates copolymer, PVP, PVA, silicone dioxide, PEG12, dimethicone, charcoal, titanium dioxide, bentonite, illite, dipotassium glycyrrhizate, aloe barbadensis extract, camellia sinensis, leaf extract, tocopheryl acetate, mentha piperita oil, perfume

each package contains 1 pore patch


I followed the instructions also found at the back of the package and waited for 15-20 minutes until the patch dried up on my nose. I gently lifted the nose patch and I’m surprised with the results. I never even thought that I have whiteheads that much but the evidence is on the nose patch. I can really see tiny specks of white on the patch. My nose literally felt clean afterwards.

Even my mother who is now 62 years old uses the nose patch weekly. She’s now on its 4th patch and she said there aren’t much whiteheads and blackheads now compared to her first application of the nose patch. My mother is allergic to certain smells and would immediately sneeze when something irritates her nose. But the patch’s smell is not that strong and didn’t irritate her.

I can’t seem to find the benefits of charcoal and how it helps to remove whiteheads and blackheads but I’ll leave it just that. The Charcoal Nose Pore Cleaning Patch is my holy grail for now.

Beauty Credit is only available at Watsons, Mall of Asia.

My favorite spa treatment at Blue Water Day Spa

February 21, 2009 by 3 Comments
I’m one of the selected 28 bloggers who won a chance to be the first to experience the first Spa Movie Theater at Blue Water Day Spa. By just submitting my entry, Mr. Francis Simisim of TechFilipino.com included me on the list of 28 bloggers. Unfortunately, my busy schedule hindered me to go to this luxurious experience at their Greenhills branch. But I didn’t fret that much because I can still enjoy spa treatments from Blue Water Day Spa at their Mother Ignacia branch in Quezon City. This branch is a few hops away from my office and whenever I need some pampering, it’s just a phone call away for appointment and a few minutes later, I’m inside their sauna.

My favorite spa treatment is the Traditional Filipino Massage and Swedish Massage. Whenever I need some serious deep tissue massage for my aching muscles, I go for the Traditional Filipino Massage. On some days that I just need some R&R, I go for the Swedish Massage. Two weeks ago, I had my Swedish Massage courtesy of my fave masseuse, Ivy.

The Blue Water Day Spa Mother Ignacia branch is maybe quite small compared to other spas but it will still make you feel relaxed with its ambiance. The lighting treatments in the spa gives you a cooling and relaxing effect already. At the reception, you will be greeted by their friendly staff, a slipper will be handed to you at once and they are also the ones to keep your shoes.

The shower, sauna, lockers and massage area is upstairs, area for guys are on the left wing while the area for ladies are on the right wing. Guys will be welcomed by the huge photo of Piolo Pascual while ladies will be greeted by Marian Rivera’s gorgeous face at the top of the stairs. Shampoo, soaps and towels are provided, other items like hair blowers, straightening irons and variety of brushes are also laid out in the counter.

The Swedish Massage is an hour-long massage consisting of soft to medium strokes on muscles. My masseuse, Ivy, did a good job I dozed off at one point. I guess having a Swedish Massage is one of the cheap thrills I can give to myself for just Php 650. Traditional Filipino Massage is Php 950.

Whenever there’s a good product or service, word-of-mouth is still a powerful tool to be known. And that’s the advantage of Blue Water Day Spa, because of the good services I enjoyed, I recommended it to my friends and officemates and even posted at Girtalk forum at Femalenetwork.com. Oh, and even our Quality Manager in the office is a frequent customer, she’s so happy with the services that’s why she gave away gift certificates for a free massage and a Foot Smoother Scrub as an incentive for quality achievers in our company.

Blue Water Day Spa is surely making it big, another addition to their branches is the Capitol Hills Branch. This 300-square feet branch just opened last January 2009, see the video of the Capitol Hills Branch below courtesy of YouTube:
