Philips Air Fryer

By | Great Inventions, Health and Fitness, Recipes, Yummy! | 3 Comments

Last year I was lucky to purchase an air fryer for half the price!  I am so glad I bought it!!  I finally opened the box and was able to try it for the first time a few weeks ago!  What they really promote in their demonstrations are french fries.  We all know how unhealthy french fries can be because of all the oil that is being used to cook it but with the air fryer, no oil is needed.  I will try that next.  What I tried was the fried chicken and it was so easy, so fast and so yummy!

It took around 30 minutes only and it was very good.  I am looking forward to trying other recipes

Healthy Cooking by Saladmaster

By | Great Inventions, Household Tips | 2 Comments

My good friend, Michele, invited me over to her house to meet her new baby – Booboo! :-)  Cute!  Sonny gave it to her as a gift  

saladmaster-1.JPG

 And meet these two ladies who will demonstrate to her how to use her new cookware set from Saladmaster.  She had invested and purchased them long ago and had forgotten how to use them so she requested for training again from Lance Lee and Aims Lao

They were going to teach us how to cook healthy using Saladmaster

Aims is the Champion seller of Saladmaster products for several years already

They cooked several recipes

Chinese rice- They just mixed everything into this and put a timer on it  

saladmaster-2.JPG

And here it is all cooked and ready

They cooked sinigang without water!  They just put everything into the pot 

saladmaster-19.JPG

And here it is – they did not use any sinigang powder mix, instead they just added calamansi

Everyone was so impressed! 🙂 Reshma and Ranju!

Baked Macaroni – They put the onion and garlic without any oil 

saladmaster-4.JPG

And then added everything else and put it all in this pot including the noodles – they put a timer on it 

saladmaster-6.JPG

And here it is.  They did not have to cook the noodles separately – they made this all in one cookware – all you need to do is add cheese on top

Pineapple Turnover

Other impressed guests of Michele – Sister, Joanna and Johnyan

Apparently this is the BEST cookware since it is made out of Titanium Stainless steel.  They are made in the USA and are available in 62 countries.  I am going to start saving so I can buy myself these…….. or maybe I will just go to Michele’s house and cook there in her beautiful kitchen :-) …….. or maybe Saladmaster will gift me with some haha!! :-)  They are such amazing products!!!

They even did a test to show how the other cookwares emits substances to your food when you cook on them 

saladmaster-28.JPGsaladmaster-29.JPGsaladmaster-14.jpg saladmaster-15.jpg

And the last demo was the use of the Saladmaster itself.  The brand was named after this gadget which can slice and shred anything – we were so impressed!!    

saladmaster-25.jpgsaladmaster-24.JPGsaladmaster-23.JPG

If you are interested in seeing a demo on these products, call Aimee and she will gladly come over to your house to demonstrate and show their products to you.  It’s really amazing!!

Dung Paddies

By | Animals and Pets, Great Inventions, Green, Travel | No Comments

I think I am never going to run out of stories from India!  They are such a unique culture!  

Donkeys on the road 🙂 aside from cows, bulls, camels and dogs

A herd of bulls blocking our way

On the road going out of Jaipur towards Jodhpur, there were a lot of Dung paddies.  Dung paddies are made out of the feces of cows and bulls

dung-paddies-04.jpg

They collect them and with their bare hands, they form them into patties

dung-paddies-07.jpgdung-paddies-08.jpg

They are then dried under the sun and being used in their homes as charcoal/fuel for cooking!  No need to buy gas 🙂

Jantar Mantar Observatory Jaipur

By | Great Inventions, Travel | No Comments

In the olden times, when you are King or Emperor, you can have anything built- and during those times, no one really questioned, they just followed.  Looking back, we now appreciate what these kings and emperors built because these structures cannot be built anymore in the same scale.  

Because the founder of Jaipur was an astrologer, he built this observatory!

Mustela

By | For kids, Great Inventions, Shopping | 2 Comments

Heart2Heart is so happy to meet the two women behind Mustela in the Philippines.  Tammy Tancingco and Sharleen Cu Unjeng

mustela-05.jpg

Sharleen told us how she discovered Mustela which was through her yaya 🙂  and she realized it was a good product because it actually worked for her baby.  Mustela has many products for babies, mommies and for any adult.  They even have a line for eczema called Stelatopia.  And good news is it is available in Rustan’s department store.  

For any questions, there is a Mustela hotline 0917 -8958988

Other mothers who love using Mustela

mustela-07.jpgmustela-01.jpgmustela-02.jpgmustela-03.jpgmustela-04.jpg

Mustela has been part of skin care regimes for generations. Its wide array of skin care products meet the needs of people in various stages of their lives, ranging from an expectant mother, a  baby’s delicate first few months and even into adulthood.  Mustela has been working hand in hand with respected health care professionals for over 60 years and has been at the forefront of research and innovation to ease the everyday lives of mothers and providing excellent care to their babies’ delicate skin.

mustela-01.jpg

 

Mustela 9 Months is a complete line of products developed to address skin changes that occur during pregnancy and after giving birth. For infants, there’s the Mustela Bébé range, which includes dermatologically-tested products for daily hygiene, bath, diaper change and skin protection of newborns, babies and children.

 

mustela-07.jpg

Mustela also collaborated with top dermatologists and pediatricians in developing the Mustela Dermo-Pediatrics line. These products address the symptoms and causes of skin disorders among babies. To protect babies from harmful UV rays that can lead to irreversible skin damage, Mustela Sun Protection has babies covered.

Today, Mustela continues to break new grounds as the skin care expert for babies and mothers to be, and holds its position as the number one selling product in European pharmacies. Mustela is manufactured by Laboratoires Expanscience, which is the 6th largest independent laboratory in France, and ensures its high quality products that are free from paraben, phthalate, phenoxyethanol, alcohol, chlorphenesin and essential oils. Priority is given to ingredients of natural origins ranging form 80% to 98%. Mustela continues to create a legacy of unparalled skin care.

Keeping infant eczema at bay

Stelatopia is a line of high quality skin care for babies developed to gently yet effectively treat infant eczema. It offers a complete response to dry and eczema-prone skin with four high quality products guaranteed safe for babies.   Stelatopia’s active ingredient is Sunflower Oil Distillate.  It’s a patented ingredient of natural origin.  It has lipid replenishing action and breaks the vicious cycle of atopic dermatitis by reducing xerosis, desquamation and itching.

mustela-02.jpgmustela-03-1.jpgmustela-04-1.jpgmustela-04-2.jpg

Stelatopia Cream Cleanser is ideal for daily cleansing of baby’s face, hair and body. It protects skin against dryness with its patented Active Lipid-Replenishing Process, and quickly soothes discomfort by reducing the sensation of irritation and itching. 

stelatopia-flacon-creme-lavante-400ml-xl.jpg

When skin flare-ups occur, Stelatopia Milky Bath Oil comes to the rescue. Frequent use of this emollient-rich bath oil diminishes the frequency and intensity of flare-ups due to the presence of sunflower oil distillate. Stelatopia Milky Bath Oil requires no rinsing and does not leave an oily film.

stelatopia-flacon-huile-de-bain-200ml-us.jpg

Stelatopia Emollient Cream is a handy companion to keep skin nourished.  It restores moisture balance by replenishing lipids while purifying the skin as it restructures even the driest skin, rebalances cutaneous flora and limits microbial proliferation. Stelatopia Emollient Cream limits the need for corticosteroids by up to 100%.

stelatopia-flacon-creme-emolliente-400ml-xl.jpg 

Finally, Stelatopia No-rinse Cleansing Water is a gentle, one-step daily use cleanser for face, body, and diaper area of babies. It gently cleanses the skin with an ultra-mild, no-rinse washing base to help form a barrier against hard water that may cause more irritation.
