You don't have to be Hillary Clinton or Kate Middleton to be in the league of the so-called 'power wives.' Filipinas wield power in their own homes by managing the budget or simply making decisions. My definition of a 'power wife' is also someone who embraces every opportunity to arm herself with the right knowledge and skills to become a better mother, partner and/or person. There's nothing complicated about that. But I do like how the pharma giant GSK has conceptualized the Power Wives Club to beef up its information drive in fighting cervical cancer which ...

I've always liked Jamie Oliver's recipes posted in ... Continue Reading...
First time in Bali for the Fitness Weekend 2015!

As I've found out in indoor cycling, working out with a group is the ... Continue Reading...
Coffee lovers rejoice, Nescafe Red Mug is here!
Hanging out in coffee shops all day can be detrimental to your wallet, that's for sure. Just imagine how consuming espresso-laden concoctions can translate to money in one year. Perhaps it can already bring you to Europe or graduate school or even buy those investment trust funds :) The wise ones would do better to invest in a nifty device like the all-new Nescafe Red Mug Machine. It's introductory price of only P1,999 is just the equivalent of about 3 weeks of loading up on your favorite latte or Americano in the coffee shop. This official photo from Nescafe ...
