Another Year For Kathryn Bernardo With Juicy Cologne

"Celestine" introduces Toni Gonzaga as a Singer-Songwriter 11/23/2014 07:51:00 AM

Let's get Juicy-fied! A phrase that makes us feel younger and more of a teenager. Though I'm a mommy now I'm still using cologne. Ever since when I was still a teenager I am a kind of person who loves to use cologne. And what makes me excited to use cologne? First, its too colorful and vibrant. Second, it's not too harsh on the nostril that makes it more pleasing to smell.

Since I am a mom, I will definitely use light fragrances for my kids, though my kids are both boys. I usually let them use my cologne, hahaha, like mommy like son. Don't get me wrong okay.

Recently, I attended an event celebrating Kathryn Bernardo's being an ambassador for Juicy for a year. Imagine, I am using Juicy cologne for a year already. I started smelling their scents since last year when they invited me to cover the event of juicy introducing their newest ambassador Kathryn Bernanrdo. From that day on I already liked the scent of Juicy and started using it everyday.

I like the Icylicious variant of Juicy, well Kathryn also like it very much. That was the first scent that I used. Then the next variant that I like is the Sweet Delights, my kids like it also, the scents is nose friendly, hahaha. That's the best scent for me among the variants of Juicy, no wonder that The executives of Juicy Cologne announced that Sweet Delights is the best seller.

According to Kathryn Bernardo, she is so excited for more years with Juicy Family and she's so happy that they renewed her contract for 2 years as ambassador, so we'll definitely see Kathryn more often on the Juicy TV commercial. Right now they are actually having a new tv commercial to launch next year, so watch out for it specially to all the supporters of Kathryn. She added also that the scent of Juicy is very light and can be use any time and any where.

Juicy Colgne is availble in 8 deematologist-tested and hypo allergenic scents; Sweet Delights, Icylicious, Dreamsicle, Orange Twist, Sprightly Sprinkle, Angel's Bliss and their newly launched fragrances Sugar Frostin and Up, Up and Away!

So mommies choose Juicy Cologne specially if you have a teeanger in your family. let's get Juicy-fied!

Lancaster New City, A Haven of Quality Homes for Families to LIVE,LEARN, WORK, PLAY and WORSHIP

A Haven of Quality Homes for Families to LIVE 11/18/2014 06:21:00 AM

One of the newest cities that arise in Mega Manila made a tremendous buzz and impression to families who are looking for their dream houses. It’s unlike any other place you’ve seen before. I know you’ve read it once or twice already on this blog about Property Company of Friends, Inc or commonly known as PRO-FRIENDS. Lancaster New City is the newest property developed by PRO-FRIENDS which is considered as a haven of quality homes to Filipino Families.

Created with a purpose of understanding the needs of the Filipino family, PRO-FRIENDS dared to make a difference by envisioning a one-of-a-kind township community near the Metro that would enable the family to completely bond with each other. Starting with its first phase in 2007, Lancaster has quickly evolved into a master-planned community that spans to more than 1,400 hectares that covers the areas of Kawit, Gen. Trias, and Imus Cavite. The township community is situated near the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) that helps families to spend more time with each other. Families may now have an option to own reasonably priced homes in a unique township near Metro Manila focusing with the most important aspect of their lives… to LIVE, LEARN, WORK, PLAY and WORSHIP.

LIVE

Lancaster New City currently has a wide variety of selection of two-storey and three-storey townhomes and two-storey single attached homes designed for young professionals, start-up families and bigger growing families. Each home is efficiently laid out to have sufficient space for the dwellers to comfortable move around the house. Just recently, Lancaster New City introduced six more new houses that are Modern Asian inspired to celebrate the use of light and space. Its high ceilings and windows are created to allow more light and ventilation inside the rooms. Of course since internet is now a need in the family, four of the new house models (Briana, Chessa, Mabelle, and Adelle) are all already with internet cable ready.

Residents of selected house models have their very own Family Courtyard or Family Enclaves, extra spaces either at the back or in front of each single attached home where children may safely play or they may have their special private gatherings.

LEARN

Part of the township community is the availability of school inside the subdivision. Lancaster New City sought to make high quality, affordable education accessible to its residents. St. Edward Integrated School (SEIS), a school established inside Lancaster New City in 2012, give families the option to send their children to a school that prides in raising globally competitive students with a strong sense of character. It has a dynamic project-oriented curriculum which aims to address the needs of different types of learners. It has life labs, clubs and organizations that allow students to develop their talents and be equipped with real life practical skills. Moving forward, SEIS will have institutes of learning that is generally a mere 400 meter walk from the nearest residential area.

WORK
Inside Lancaster New City is the pioneer IT Park of Cavite, the SuntechiPark. This is PRO-FRIENDS’ first office IT Park development, SuntechiPark is designed to give the residents an option to work close to home, thus giving them more time to spend with the family. Lancaster New City is also developing its transport system that would easily bring the residents from their place of work to their homes in less time.

PLAY

Of course one of the families bonding moment is play time, Lancaster New City will be building Downtown Lancaster, a 25 hectare commercial-business-lifestyle district that will provide retail and leisure activities to both office workers and its residents. Within Downtown Lancaster is the convergence of SuntechiPark and the Square. The Square will be a sprawling commercial center that houses several commercial and retail establishments. The Square already opened its first commercial building last 2013 and houses a selection of restaurants, wellness boutiques, and other service centers.

WORSHIP
A community will never be complete without a place of worship. This is the place where parents would teach their children about the importance of faith. At the heart of Lancaster New City is the church of the Holy Family. Built in 2012, the Church of the Holy Family became a place of worship where families may attend Sunday mass, hold their wedding vows and ceremonies, or celebrate the Simbang Gabi tradition.

So, now that you’ve know parts of Lancaster New City, this is their development and constantly evolving in Cavite and aiming to provide the Filipino family with a complete community.
