5 ways to manage school-related expenses all year-round

The back-to-school season also means back-to-back expenses. On top of making ends meet amid the increasing costs of everyday necessities, households will now have to shoulder additional expenses.




Several educational institutions are anticipated to increase their tuition and miscellaneous fees by 3 to 10 percent for the upcoming school year, as the five-year moratorium imposed by the Commission on Higher Education has lapsed.


In a country where the annual cost of higher education can reach up to P150,000, the cost is the main reason why education remains inaccessible. While public schools and state universities do not charge tuition, Filipinos have to consider other expenses for the rest of the school year, including food, school uniforms, books, supplies, and transportation.


As wais parents and breadwinners are compelled to work double-time in preparation for the school opening, here are five ways to help them manage school-related expenses all year round:


Declutter and Reuse



Did you buy school supplies in bulk last year? How many of these are still lying around unused, stashed in drawers and cabinets? Set a time for spring cleaning to round up all the items you already own and check if they are still in good condition. Working pens, and notebooks with lots of blank pages can still be reused or repurposed. Even old books and uniforms your kids have outgrown can be sold on relevant Facebook groups and online selling platforms for some extra cash.


Meal Planning



Plan a week’s worth of meals and create a shopping list based on your plan so you can stay within budget. This will save you from the mental workload of having to think about what to eat every day and, most importantly, will help you avoid unplanned expenses from food deliveries, eating outside, and doing additional trips to the grocery store.


Expense Tracking



You might be surprised how small, measly purchases accumulate in the long run. Tracking your expenses will allow you to take a good hard look at your spending habits. Whether you prefer a spreadsheet, a journal, or an app, keep a record of your expenses. From there, you can find out which expense to reduce so you can stay within budget and allocate it towards school expenses.


Quality Over Quantity



With sales and promos left and right, it’s always tempting to go for the cheapest school item you can find. While not every item is worth splurging on, it’s best to invest in quality items, especially if they are being used every day, such as school shoes and lunch boxes. These items may have a high one-off cost, but if they are sturdy enough, you won’t have to repair or replace them in the next few months.


Flexible Loans



Every parent wants the best educational experience for their children. Still, multiple expenses — from tuition and school supplies to baon, transportation costs, and even extra-curricular activities – make this a challenge. If you find yourself short on cash to cover all these expenses, there are ways to get help without adding any more pressure to an already stressful situation. Whether you need to pay for an unexpected school expense or you simply need to add to your current budget, you can make use of convenient personal loan products that offer flexible payment terms, such as GLoan, GCash’s loan product.

GLoan


With GLoan, abot-kaya ang back-to-school because you can get up to P125,000 straight to your wallet, which you can use to pay for different school expenses. You can use GLoan to fund tuition fees, arrange transportation services, buy new sets of school uniforms, and shop for books and stationery.

GCash 


Eligible GCash users can borrow from P1,000 to P125,000, with a competitive interest rate of as low as 1.59% per month. With payment as low as P265 a month for 5-24 months, you don’t have to worry about disrupting your monthly budget. Suddenly have an upcoming field trip or an unanticipated school project? There’s no need to miss out. As long as you are eligible, you can get instantly approved with no additional documents needed. After which, your loan will be sent straight to your GCash wallet in an instant!


Access GLoan through your GCash dashboard or find it under “Borrow.” No GCash yet? Download the GCash App on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or Huawei App Gallery! Kaya mo, i-GCash mo!

Fight breakouts like your ults with Acnes’ Anti-Acne Spot Gel and more

Take skincare cues from Rosé of Blackpink or Joy of Red Velvet!




Anyone that’s ever watched an Asian drama or music video knows the feeling: You try to keep your focus on the story or the music, but you just can’t help but notice how perfect your ult’s skin is! Is it just good genes? Or do they have access to skincare secrets we just don’t know about?


The answer isn’t a secret at all! Many Asian idols have shared that the key to clear skin is actually a clever spot gel and pimple patch combo. All you have to do is zero in on the zit and treat it with a spot gel or cover it up with a discreet pimple patch.


Asia’s leading acne care brand Acnes has its own solution to help you clear up and cheer up like an Asian star! Acnes’ Anti-Acne Spot Gel is packed with powerful ingredients like Cica extract, sulfur, salicylic acid (BHA), licorice extract, and vitamin E, with the gentle formula effectively controlling oil, unclogs pores, calms skin, and restoring your skin’s elasticity.


With its skin-friendly pH level, the lightweight gel lets you say bye-bye to irritation and lighten acne scars. Application is also super easy. Simply apply the gel 2-3 times a day to inflamed pimples without pus and watch them shrink in just 3 days! If you need further inspiration, look to Joy of K-pop girl group Red Velvet who focuses on treating any breakouts with a spot treatment.




There is also Acnes’ invisible Anti-Acne Pimple Patch that allows you to heal your breakouts with pus and active wound even while running errands or going out. The incredibly thin hydrocolloid patch functions as a sponge, efficiently absorbing pus and oil. It also acts as a protective shield, preventing the entry of bacteria and dirt. It’s also sweat-proof and breathable, perfect for wearing under makeup. No wonder Asian stars have been known to swear by this routine, with members of K-pop boy band Pentagon wearing acne stickers before performing. Even Blackpink’s Rosé swears by pimple patches and carries them everywhere she goes!


The Anti-Acne Spot Gel and the Anti-Acne Pimple Patch aren’t all Acnes has to offer. The Japanese brand invested heavily into extensive research on Asian skin to bring you products like Acnes Creamy Wash, a soap-free cleanser enriched with amino acids, specifically designed for sensitive, acne-prone skin. The Acnes Powder Lotion effectively balances sebum production, preventing clogged pores. There is also the Acnes Oil-Control Moisturizer which replenishes moisture and soothes the skin.


Like the Anti-Acne Spot Gel, all of Acnes’ products contain the key healing ingredients Centella asiatica, or Cica. Cica is known for its calming, wound-healing, and anti-aging properties, helping to soothe irritated skin, promote skin regeneration, and improve overall skin health.

Artistry Skin Nutrition delivers the ultimate skin protection with the new Multi-Defense UV Protect SPF50+

This Skin Cancer Foundation-approved sunscreen protects skin against harmful light and environmental aggressors




Skincare routines have all sorts of components, but one thing that can’t be overlooked is sunscreen. From the beach or even when you’re just at your desk in front of your computer, sunscreen protects your skin from harmful UV rays, slows down skin aging, maintains an even skin tone, and also lowers the risk of skin cancer.


Amway, the global leader in health and wellness, introduces the ultimate way to protect your skin with their newest Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Multi-Defense UV Protect SPF50+ sunscreen. The versatile sunscreen goes beyond the ordinary by offering full light protection as well as antioxidant and barrier-strengthening benefits against free radicals to maintain the health of your skin in various settings.


Artistry Skin Nutrition’s sunscreen comes with a silky-light texture that glides over the skin and absorbs quickly and invisibly to preserve your natural skin tone. It feels hydrating, never greasy so it can be used as a makeup primer and can leave skin looking and feeling healthy.

What’s Inside?


Full light protection comes from its Multi-Filter Blend of five active sunscreen ingredients that provide the brand’s highest level Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB protection with SPF50+/PA++++. The Multi-Defense UV Protect SPF50+ sunscreen offers more Carnosine Peptide, clinically proven to protect against damaging infrared light and blue light that’s usually emitted from all those screens and electronics devices you use for work and play.


The newest Multi-Defense UV Protect SPF50+ sunscreen is infused with plant-derived and antioxidant-rich ingredients that are sourced from Amway’s very own Nutrilite™ farms to ensure purity, safety, and effectiveness of the product from seed to skin. It’s formulated with Prevent Complex, a blend of Acerola Cherry, Australian Daisy, and Blackberry that can boost your skin’s defense system by 350% to prevent and delay early signs of aging. It also contains Pomegranate to provide continuous protection from air pollution’s irritating effects and the Patented Brightening Complex with White Chia Seed and Pomegranate to strengthen the skin’s microbiome and brightens the complexion.


Other natural ingredients in the sunscreen are time-released Cica Extract that ensures 8-hour gradual release for all-day efficacy and antioxidant protection, and Chrysanthemum Morifolium Flower Extract that safeguards against free radicals and environmental damage, preventing dullness, wrinkles, and dark spots.

Is it clean and paraben-free?




Apart from shielding your skin from the harsh rays of the sun and other harmful light, this clean, traceable, certified vegan sunscreen also delivers additional antioxidant protection against other environmental aggressors like pollution, ozone, and smoke and barrier-strengthening protection against dry, over-air-conditioned areas like offices, stores, and airplanes.


The Multi-Defense UV Protect SPF50+ sunscreen is also free of oxybenzone and octinoxate which are harmful to coral reef systems—making it the better choice for both your skin and the environment. It also upholds the Artistry Clean standards as it’s formulated with no parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, and over 1,000 other ingredients that you may be concerned about.


The sunscreen is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation, which means that its formula meets the criteria of their volunteer Photobiology Committee. With the Foundation’s seal of approval, Artistry Skin Nutrition ensures that the sunscreen is safe and effective at preventing skin damage that can lead to skin cancer, when used as directed.


“We’re proud to include the all-encompassing Multi-Defense UV Protect SPF50+ sunscreen to our roster of products that are all carefully created to achieve visibly Health Beauty,” says Carla Cruz, the Head of Marketing and Communications at Amway Philippines. “As the last step in an Artistry Skincare Nutrition regimen that requires one to Purify, Balance, Rebuild, Moisturize, and Protect the skin, applying this sunscreen ensures that we’re not only defending our skin from all the external aggressors but also protecting all the progress we’ve made to satisfy our skin goals now and in the future. It should be an essential part of our daily skincare routine.”


Have more fun out in the sun and feel at more ease indoors with the full light protection and Nutrilite-powered antioxidant benefits of Artistry Skin Nutrition Multi-Defense UV Protect SPF50+ sunscreen.

Equipping children to become environment champion

Friday, July 21, 2023

In today's rapidly changing world, it is important to instill a sense of environmental responsibility in the younger generation. Being conscious of the environment plays a pivotal role in shaping a sustainable future for the planet. By nurturing these values in children at an early age, they can be an inspired generation of eco-conscious individuals who will make a positive impact on the world around them.




But how exactly can children be taught to care for the environment? Here are some ways to help in this endeavor:

Lead by example


Children are highly perceptive and often emulate their other peoples' behavior, most especially their parents. By showcasing environmentally responsible actions in their own lives, such as recycling, conserving energy and reducing waste, parents become role models for their children.

Connect with nature


Encourage children to spend time outdoors and to explore the wonders of nature. By fostering a sense of awe and appreciation for the environment, children are more likely to develop a deep-rooted connection and feel motivated to protect it.

Educate through storytelling


Utilize storytelling as a powerful tool to impart knowledge and inspire environmental consciousness. Engage children with books, movies and interactive experiences that highlight the importance of caring for the environment and the impact of human actions.

Emphasize that all living things are connected


Parents should help children understand that every action has a ripple effect on the environment and all living beings. By teaching them about the delicate balance of ecosystems and the importance of preserving biodiversity, children develop a deep appreciation for life, and that no matter how small, every living thing plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy and thriving environment.

Collaborate with schools and communities


Engaging with schools and community organizations that promote environmental education can be another way to help children care for the planet. Let them participate in workshops, join environmental clubs, and support initiatives that raise awareness and encourage sustainable practices. Young as they are, children can be empowered to be change-makers and stewards of the environment.

Homegrown brand Philusa Corporation has long been a key advocate for sustainability, with the primary vision of delivering greener alternatives for many of their iconic brands such as Babyflo, where they have implemented biodegradable, recyclable, and other sustainable options for their products as well as campaigns calling for effective actions for the environment.

Through the launch of its new line of eco-friendly cotton buds, Babyflo strengthens its commitment to giving the best care for daily hygiene needs while caring for the environment. Babyflo Gentle Buds Eco-Friendly, the first Earth-minded cotton buds in the market, are made of 100% pure cotton tips, unbleached paper stems that come from responsibly managed forests, and biodegradable packaging.


Start your budding green lifestyle with Babyflo Gentle Buds Eco-Friendly, available in 400 and 200 tips in any Mercury Drug, Robinsons, Puregold, Metro Gaisano, and other retail stores nationwide and online.
