  • Give Your Skin that much-needed love this Valentine’s Day 

    Love for oneself is held in high regard for several reasons that prove hugely beneficial.  Most of us agree that it is a need and a right to feel content with our own identity without  seeking out external validation. Truly believing that our existence itself is enough to be  worthy of compassion invites growth, healthier life decisions, and eventually, success as  we deem it. 

    KSH AY Day Cream min

    One reason why Valentine’s Day is a much-anticipated occasion is the fact that we  deem love important enough to be celebrated. While it’s common for the majority to  crave affection and romance more during these times, we must also recognize the  significance of being inclined to achieving self-contentment before we are fully prepared  to partake in the interpersonal connections we seek. 

    KSH AY Essence min

    The art of self-love truly aligns us with our own beautiful and unique self, which leads us  to establish stronger bonds. Only when we recognize the depth of our value can we  completely give and receive love in its most authentic form–a crucial sentiment we must  always keep in mind. 

    KSH AY Eye Cream min

    The cultivation of self-love through methods that resonate with our love language is a  lifelong journey that many of us chose to embark on. Though it’s true that the formula to  loving oneself is a personal feat, we’re delighted to offer one way to set your self-love  era in motion this Valentine’s season! 

    AY Group min

    Whether you’re into sweet caresses, affirmative words, loving acts of service, spending  quality time, or giving and receiving gifts, an ensemble that allows you to revel in a  youthful appearance channels these love languages through a simple pampering  routine. Nothing says self-care more than spoiling yourself this Valentine’s with Y.O.U  Beauty’s Advanced Youth Series, a product line meticulously designed to future-proof  your skin! 

    AY Night Cream min

    Show your skin some love with a set of products formulated with Plantide XTM, a plant derived peptide which helps strengthen the skin’s resilience by repairing your collagen  proteins. No more constant woes about the early signs of aging! With fine lines and  wrinkles out of the picture, you’re bound to have a plumper, firmer skin–the perfect  combination for your much-desired youthful glow.

So be it for your significant other, family, and friends—here are ways to express your love this coming Valentine’s Day:

    Red Ribbon Valentine Black Forest Cake 1

    Create a playlist

    Music is a powerful trigger for special memories, so give them an audio rush by choosing songs that they love and songs that are significant to you both. Maybe the music you played on your first date or your first road trip? What about that night you were stuck in traffic and you had one song on loop to get you through? They’ll love reminiscing with those tracks.

    Write a heartfelt letter

    Writing letters may be a lost art, but who says you can’t revive it? Write about how happy they make you feel, express your deepest feelings—and if it’s that special someone, your dreams of a life together. 

    Book a photo shoot

    If your loved one likes to post on social media and you’re their Instagram boyfriend/girlfriend/best friend, why not take it a step further and do it with a professional so you can be together in the pictures? It’s certainly going to be a Valentine’s to remember, and you will have amazing pictures to prove it! Or if you’re awkward around photographers, book a schedule in a self-shoot studio instead!

  • Celebrating Heart Month: Choosing the right cooking oil for your heart

    Scientific studies have proven the heart-health benefits of using Canola Oil in everyday cooking, which is why doctors and other health professionals have recommended Canola Oil. And when it comes to choosing the right brand of Canola Oil, one thing is clear – the consistent  No. 1 brand, Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil, is the only brand to trust.

    Jolly Healthy Mate Canola Oil Good for the heart

    According to Registered Nutritionist-Dietician Thina Asis, canola oil has essential fatty acids which promote heart health. “Canola Oil has Omega-3 & Omega-6 which help lower cholesterol and blood pressure,” Asis said. Made from the crushed seeds of the canola plant, canola oil is a great source of plant-based omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.

    Several Registered Nutritionist-Dieticians echoed the same information Christine Alcantara, RND and April Manlangit, RND  advocate using Canola Oil in cooking. “Canola Oil has the lowest level of saturated fats among all types of cooking oil”, Christine said. “This will help minimize the risks of heart diseases and stroke,” Alcantara added. Manlangit highlighted the importance of having a high smoke point in cooking, “Canola Oil has a high smoke point so it is very ideal for frying,“ Manlangit said. “Smoke point refers to when the oil begins to break down and produce chemicals which may be harmful to health, so it is important to choose a cooking oil which has a high smoke point,” Manlangit added.

    But it is not just enough to use Canola Oil – like choosing the perfect life partner, one should use the leading and most trusted Canola Oil brand, so you can be sure that you are getting the heart-health benefits for you and your family.

    For Makati-based mommy Sheh Lizano, using only Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil is an easy decision. The 48-year-old mom of four shares that several diseases run in her family’s blood, including diabetes, hypertension, and heart failure.

    “Ayaw kong manahin ng mga anak ko ang mga sakit na ‘yun, kasi gusto ko rin ma-enjoy nila ang happy life,” Lizano says. Her initial solution was to avoid fried food, despite it being her family’s favorite.

    “Pero nung nalaman ko ang advantage na maganda sa puso ang Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil, every day we use it  kapag nagluluto para sa pamilya,” she says.

    Nutritionist-dietician April Manlangit clarifies that Canola Oil is not only ideal for frying. It can also be used for baking and roasting. What’s more, with minimal taste, it allows for the full flavors of food to come out.

    Meanwhile, young mommy Grace Escueta from Laguna has grown more conscious of what she prepares for her family. 

    “Talagang inaalam kung ano ang dapat i-prepare na ingredients, lalong higit kung anong gagamitin kong cooking oil,” she says. “Noong na-introduce sa ‘kin si Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil, doon ko natutunan lalo ang importance ng maganda ang ginagamit mong oil in preparing meals for your family.”

    Even celebrity mom and wife Carmina Villarroel has only one choice when it comes to cooking oil. “Para sa akin, Jolly Heart Mate lang talaga in cooking meals for my family. Sigurado ako sa quality and I’m sure that when I cook, ‘di ko lang na-papasaya ang mga puso nila, na-proprotektahan ko pa,” Carmina said.  “Why should you settle when you can choose the best?” Carmina added.

    Carmina’s husband Zoren Legaspi and twins Mavy and Cassy Legaspi cannot agree more. “Mahilig din ako magluto and when I cook, I only trust the No. 1 – Jolly Heart Mate,” Zoren said. Mavy and Cassy have also started getting active in the kitchen and they already know which brand they should use.  “Heart Mate lang ang cooking oil sa kusina namin,” Mavy mentioned. “Heart Mate for Life kaming pamilya,” Cassy added. 

    Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil has been the consistent No. 1 Canola Oil brand since 2011, making it the most trusted Canola Oil brand in the country for years. Its consistent quality and heart health benefits make it the brand of choice for Filipino moms, medical professionals, and even trusted celebrities!Protect your heart this Heart Month by using only the leading and most trusted canola oil brand, Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil. Available in supermarkets and grocery stores nationwide, and online on Lazada, Shopee, and AceMarket.ph.
