“Sleep Revolution” by Uratex is the “Future of Sleep”

“Sleep Revolution” by Uratex is the “Future of Sleep”

We live in a time where we can function 24/7 if we have to. But with this increased productivity, some essential activities are sacrificed, foremost of which is sleep. We take the simple pleasure of a good, superior sleep for granted.

We need to have adequate sleep, that much can’t be emphasized enough. Sleep loss can have drastic effects on a healthy lifestyle; it will have an impact on your heart, weight, mind and well-being. Insufficient sleep will lead to serious, long-term health problems, such as heart disease, strokes, diabetes, obesity and rational thinking.

But through the untiring efforts of Uratex, a large number of Filipino families and individuals now sleep better. Because of these innovations, we have become healthier, more productive and energized during the day.

Nothing understands this fundamental need for better sleep than Uratex. As the undisputed “Sleep Specialist,” Uratex continues to innovate and revolutionize the way it gives a superior sleeping experience to Filipinos through its latest collection, the Sleep Revolution.

“With Uratex, you get the best sleep. Everyone at our company takes great pride in making sure that each mattress we manufacture delivers superior comfort and support to improve your quality of sleep. Today, we will offer innovative products that will deliver on this promise,” says Cherry Wong-Tan, Marketing Director of Uratex.

The Sleep Revolution

The Sleep Revolution is the future of sleep. The new collection focuses on Premium Touch Romance, Senso Memory Ultima Plus, Orthocare Biorytmic and Perfect Serenity Aura Fresh. It not only gives better sleep, but also responds to specific needs of different sleep problems Filipinos usually encounter.

Keeping the flames of love alive doesn’t have to stop after a long, hard day. The Premium Touch Romance is all about inspiring passion and desire for you and your significant other. The secret lies on its mattress ticking infused with the essences of ginseng, ylang-ylang and cinnamon, giving it a sweet and spiced romantic ambiance. Its unique perfume micro-capsules have a long-lasting effect to inspire a more intimate bond for couples. Crafted with Smart Reflex® Pocket Spring System that intelligently isolates body movement for an undisturbed sleep. Additionally, its combines the best of both worlds: Natural latex and Senso Memory foam for a superior sleep experience.

The Orthocare Biorytmic mattress uses advanced sleep technology using rejuvenating minerals responsible for restoring energy and regulating the body’s biorhythm. As you sleep, it helps reduce stress and provides better balance and concentration. For outstanding pressure relief and back support, it is coupled with Orthofirm® foam for a firm comfort feel all night long.

For a refreshingly cool sleep, look no further! The Senso Memory Ultima Plus is specially designed with a cooling technology that helps you fall asleep faster. What sets it apart from others is that its memory foam is blended with Hydragel® beads that absorbs heat. Wrapped with Cooler® knit fabric, it provides an enhanced cooling effect and has been proven to lower body temperature by up to 2°C. Furthermore, its plush comfort layers delicately adjust to your body’s movements while you sleep, relieving you from painful pressure points.

Always worried about odors in your bed? The Perfect Serenity Aura Fresh is the solution to your problem. This innovative mattress has odor-repelling qualities that offer a fresh, clean sleeping environment. For long-lasting odor-free protection, its cover is formulated with complex compounds that effectively eliminate all unwanted odors from the body so your mattress smells fresh while you sleep. It features a convoluted high-resilient foam with an egg crate design that allows air to flow freely. Balancing the body’s biorhythm is essential as it improves your intra-body communication and promotes your overall well-being.

Uratex Innovative Pillows

Uratex Premium also offers innovative pillows equipped with the same sleep technologies to complement these mattresses. The cores of Perfect Serenity Aura Fresh, Orthocare Biorytmic and Premium Touch Romance pillows are made of supersoft molded foam built for plush comfort while the Senso Memory Ultima Plus pillow’s core is made of Senso Memory foam with Hydragel® beads. Both mattresses and pillows are treated with Sanitized® that effectively protect against growth of bacteria, odor, mildew and dust mites.

The Sharp Plasmacluster Air Purifiier: Your Defense Against the Threats of Dengue and Zika

The Sharp Plasmacluster Air Purifier with Mosquito Catcher:

Your Defense Against the Threats of Dengue and Zika

Manila, Philippines—With the World Health Organization naming mosquito as the number one animal threat to humans, a tropical country like the Philippines, where mosquitoes are very rampant, must always be vigilant for any oncoming dengue outbreaks. The government has so far faced these threats with readiness and practice.

Recently, another vector-borne disease is plaguing and threatening everyone’s safety.

With the recent global onslaught of the Zika virus, a disease carried by the same mosquito breed (Aedes aegypti) that carries dengue and malaria, there has never been a greater time to truly invest and become knowledgeable on its symptoms and cures. But time spent on learning these things only means acknowledging the mosquitoes’ capabilities of infecting and invading your home.

With such great threats, stocking the right medicines or listing emergency hotline numbers won’t be enough. A better and an even more effective way to fight these diseases is to already defend and protect yourself before it even comes to you. There are many ways how to do it.

Aside from maintaining the cleanliness of your house and keeping pots and containers free of water, remember this “4s” guide from the Department of Health:

1. Search and destroy mosquito breeding places

2. Self-protection measures

3. Seek early consultation for any symptoms

4. Say “no” to indiscriminate fogging

In line with this advocacy, and with the aim of keeping Filipino families safe, Sharp brings you the Plasmacluster Air Purifier with Mosquito Catcher. It is equipped with the 5-Step Mosquito Catching Mechanism to help you protect your family right inside your home.

Mechanism Effective, Mechanism Perfected

The Mosquito Catcher entices and attracts mosquitoes with its black exterior and built-in UV lights. It has ideal entrances on its sides and powerful air suction to capture nearing mosquitoes and trap them on the glue sheet inside.

Aside from capturing and trapping mosquitoes, the Mosquito Catcher also releases positive and negative ions through its Plasmacluster Ion Technology. These ions clean the air and eliminate molds, odors, and airborne bacteria to ensure all-around, 24/7 protection for your loved ones. It is also equipped with the TRUE HEPA filter, which captures 99.97% of air particles such as pet dander, dust, and pollen, which may trigger asthma or allergies.

The Mosquito Catcher is effective, safe, and most importantly, chemical-free. Now with the release of its newest, sleeker, and smaller model, it can easily fit into any space available in your home.

The Sharp Plasmacluster Air Purifier with Mosquito Catcher—for quality air at home, for protection and defense against dengue and Zika.

Know more about this product through the official Sharp website www.sharp.ph and official Facebook page, Sharp Philippines.

Sharp Plasmacluster Air Purifier with Mosquito Catcher with model numbers FP-FM40EB and FP-GM30E-B are available at leading appliance stores in Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao.

Bossing Vic Sotto, Go for Chooks-to-Go

Like a Bossing: Vic Sotto chooses Chooks-to-Go as his take-home ulam

Veteran actor and TV show host, “Bossing” Vic Sotto, has stood as an icon for countless brands. From homecare supplies to local beverage products, Vic’s charismatic appeal and conviction has propelled corporations, as well as himself, into a level of unmatched reliability.

Vic has consistently lived-up to his “Bossing” moniker, as an authority and someone whom Filipinos trust for everyday products. This time, the comedian partners with Bounty Agro Ventures, Inc. (BAVI)—the second largest poultry integrator locally—as the newest brand endorser of Chooks-to-Go, the country’s leading and fastest-growing oven-roasted chicken chain with more than a thousand storess nationwide.

With its “Hindi ka Nag-Uuwi ng Ulam na Basta-basta Lang” campaign, built on the premise of being “Masarap Kahit Walang Sauce”, Chooks-to-Go and Bossing brings ready-to-go, oven-roasted quality chicken closer to Filipino moms as their take-home ulam of choice that will surely delight the family.

“When you say ‘ready-to-go’ and ‘quality food’, it should come with a great serving, taste, and nutrition. Importante ‘yun kasi hindi puwedeng basta-basta lang ang maiuwing pagkain para sa pamilya,” said Vic. “Kung gusto mo ng manok, there’s Chooks-to-Go. Malaman ang manok nila, hindi basta-basta. And the best part—‘pag hinain mo na, ‘yun na ‘yun, hindi mo na kailangan ng sauce.”

As an admirer of hardworking Filipinos, especially moms, Bossing Vic recognizes the efforts made in order to provide food on the table. “Basta hardworking, ako’y saludo, especially for moms because they exert double effort,” the actor said. “That’s why for the times when they can’t cook and kids want delicious food, dumaan ka lang ng Chooks-to Go, okay ka na.”

Practical, affordable, and delicious food to-go, Chooks-to-Go’s superior-quality, oven-roasted chicken goodness brings a fresh and healthy ulam fix to many Filipino households, which, even Vic could not escape. “Personally, I didn’t think twice about promoting this product because Chooks-to-Go is also my wife’s favorite,” Sotto admitted. “Aside from the taste, the price of one whole chicken for the family is reasonable—kayang-kaya eh. Ayos ka na, nag-enjoy ka na, nasarapan ka pa, at nakatipid ka pa!”

Endorsing is one thing, but attesting to a product as a part of one’s daily life is a different story. And with Vic’s proven and reliable track record of promoting a product or brand he uses and trusts, families are in for a treat as moms are set to bring home hindi lang basta-basta take-home ulam, but Chooks-to-Go’s oven-roasted chicken that’s always masarap kahit walang sauce.

“We are very excited to have Vic as our endorser because he really believes in the products he promotes,” said BAVI president Ronald Mascariñas. “With Chooks-to-Go and Bossing together, we have a great opportunity to support hardworking moms with a go-to take-home ulam of choice that’s affordable, healthy, and delicious.”

Metro Vigan Fiesta Garden Hotel

I and the rest of #TropangFreshness had plans going up North. In Vigan Ilocos Sur to be exact. With common likes with Eens, and Ace wanting to visit Calle Crisologo we planned our Vigan Escapade. It was set to happen this November but unfortunately, it won't be happening anytime soon. Due to conflict of schedule and whatsoever excuses only Ace would know. Charot! But we are planning to go hopefully with a lot of luck and prayers by January next year.

Wait where am I going on this post? Well, that's just a mini back story about how Vigan was part of my travel bucket list. Now here's the best part. A friend, na itago sa pangalang Lee who's celebrating her birthday this month, (HBD LEE!) asked if I'm up for a trip to Ilocos.

Shocks, a-arte pa ba ako? I said yes right away. After some ups and downs in our convo I was set to travel up North for the first time, and solo with no ka-kilala at all.

Good thing the one that handling the tour is someone I know, her name is Ms. Vannah. I managed to ask if there's someone I know on the batch of bloggers that they invited, sadly wala akong kakilala. But I won't let it spoil my excitement.

Then I met Astrid. a teeny bopper looking girl but don't be fooled she's way older than she looks like. We rode together a Partas Bus from Cubao going to Vigan. We arrived an hour before out ETD and the bus from Pasay that we are set to board came an hour early too. So the scheduled 10pm ETD was moved to 9pm.

Why? Because after we decided to climb aboard the bus head out the terminal in an instant :P Ay wow kami lang ang inantay? Staying true to its sign Board "SPECIAL" Actually, I have no idea what "Special" really means on our trip, not after the first and last stop-over was reached. Yes, Only one stop-over making me and Astrid so hungry :P

Then the bus stop for a while at Durung's and they bought a pack of malunggay pandesal. With a mental note to self, saying "Pag ako inalok ni manong kukuha talaga ako, soooo gutom na mga besh! But sad to say di nila ako inalok huhu.

I managed to take some snaps with what's left of my energy and cellphone battery after 7hours of road trip via Partas Bus, did a quick tour of the hotel lobby and so far I'm liking what I see.

DAY 1: DIY Vigan City Tour

Because we were so excited, having our breakfast was just a breeze. So eager to head onto the city proper and take a peek at that historical street called Calle Crisologo.

And mostly relaxation time... #StaycationMode

It was a bit rainy during the first day of our stay in Metro Vigan. Since it's (mostly) everybody's first time to in Vigan, we all decided to go out for a stroll even when it's raining :P

Where have I Gone in Vigan?

Team Clingy Friends: Me, Zoe, Edmar, Kev, Asta, Cha. and -minus 1 Wala pa kasi si Kieth
We are still waiting for our import blogger friend to arrive fresh from Dubai.
P.s Kieth if nababasa mo toh, bukod sa wala ka pa sa picture eh masaya pa kami dito (^.^,) cheret.

Walking around Metro Vigan Starts Now.

We, the #TeamClingyFriends were a bunch of super excited big kids na hindi ma-pirmi sa isang tabi, the main reason why we head out touring around the city even with the bad weather. Metro Vigan Fiesta Garden prepared a tour for us with a detailed itinerary. Day1 is basically our free time and hotel familiarization tour. So after seeing the hotel rooms and its facility, off we go to the city.

And the journey of "finding payong' is on. Simply because we know that it'll be one hell of a week, because of the typhoon. But, #TeamClingyFriends won't let this trip go just like that. Therefore, we decided to buy our own payong cause walang makakapigili sa amin :P.
