BaiCon InFest 2021

 

BaiCon InFest 2021, the Philippines’ biggest gathering of creators and influencers is now in its fourth year.

On October 30-31, 2021, creators from around the Philippines will once again gather for the country’s biggest influencer event, BaiCon InFest. This year, we’re doing a major throwback to the era that started the boom of content creation - the 2000’s!

Now in its fourth year, BaiCon InFest, powered by Smart, is an event that was created to provide a platform for fans and aspiring influencers to see their favorite creators perform, educate, and even get awarded. The event that gathered 72 creators in 2019 when it had its physical event in Cebu and 108 creators in 2020 through a virtual version of the event is set to become bigger in 2021 as it will be a hybrid event.

“The event will still be accessed through BaiCon InFest’s Facebook, TikTok, and Kumu pages, but this year, we will be holding a physical stage in Cebu where the hosts and even some performers can perform live and engage with their audience real-time,” shared Bea Alfar Evardone, Produc- tion Head and Creative Lead of the event.

  

 Apart from the fun and entertainment that the event brings its audience, especially when this year’s theme aims to take a trip down memory lane by bringing back the Y2k and 00’s vibe, BaiCon is also an avenue to promote digital media literacy and the responsible use of the internet.

“We believe in the power of the internet - it has many benefits but it can also be an avenue for negativity. From the spread of fake news, the practice of the cancel culture to online exploitation, many netizens can fall prey to this internet negativity. But if there’s one thing more powerful than the internet, it’s influence. This is why BaiCon InFest fuels creators and influencers to be the champions against internet negativity,” Evardone added.

That said, the event is set to include sessions where creators and influencers educate the audience about using the internet responsibly. Educational skits and talks will fill up the whole event, all while having one grand, entertaining time with your favorite influencers and creators.

To further amplify the message on the responsible use of the internet, the event also serves as a fundraiser. While the event may be accessed for free, audiences are encour- aged to make donations to the #CreatorsUnitedPH, a cause that aims to provide 1,000 students who go to school in mountain barangays across the country with digital media literacy workbooks. Donations can be done via our website at www.baicon.ph.

  

 The event is expected to bring in more than 100 creators from all over the Philippines and some parts of the world. Joining us this year are AC Bonifacio, Kween Yasmin Asistido, Dimples Romana and her husband, Boyet Ahmee, Dr. Kilimanguru, Kimpoy Feliciano, Angie “Anghet” Cayetano, Mikey Bustos, Gino Quillamor, Bogart D’Explorer, Medyo Maldito, Snake Princess, Kean Cipriano from the band Callalily, Ramon Bautista, Jen Barangan, Jae Miranda, Ady Cots, Mayonnaise, Xavier Gonzales Solis, Erwan Heussaff, Mark del Rosario, Renz David, Ian Mauricio, Kit Digno, Dr. Dex Mallari, Dr. Zeke Albaria, Ninong Ry, Alem Garcia, Phillip Te Hernandez (Davao Conyo), Malaya Macaraeg, Kim Charlie Cruz, Gandang Morenx, Chinky Enopia, Deedee Villegas, Clare Inso, Chezka Carandang, Inka Magnaye, Dom Guyot, Justine Luzares, Maggiekarp, Amara, Blink, Nikkinikki, and many more.

Love Your Skin, Love The Earth

 

Out of all the beauty products, I skip body products the most!  I felt like my face needed the hydration more than anywhere else, which was wrong by the way!

So it was just recent (during pandemic to be exact) when I started to lather up on lotion all over my body particularly my favorite brand The Body Shop.  The specific Body Butter that I have been using for years are the Almond and Mango variant.  My brother who lives in China with crazy Winter weather stock up on The Body Shop Body Butters because they work!

They are so good and I am surprised to see the news that they even made it better!   New and improved formula and not only that!  Better packaging!  The tub is 100% recycled!  

And aside from me being happy on having British Rose again near my bedside, they added AVOCADO as their additional flavor!  I swear, they look and smell so good! 

Best of all, my skin is oh-so-smooth minus the greasy feel!  The texture is more lighther (almost like the son of heavy cream and whipped cream!) LOL.  I can definitely feel the differene and I am happy with the change!

A reminder to everyone to slather up your body with moisturizers because that’s the secret the bright and youthful skin!

That’s 90 hour moisture, certified Vegan, Fresh New Formula and 100% recycled tub you have there!

SPLAT - A Natural Route for Oral Care

I started being mindful with my oral care products ever since I started Blogging.  I am very particular with the skincare products I apply on my face and body, haircare and makeup products!  I’ve had my fair share of unfortunately experiences on products that do not work for me but I’ve always been using a brand or 2 oral care products thinking that is enough!

Fas forward to being a mom, I started seraching for Oral Care products safe enough to be accidentally swalled by kids!  Since I switched to natural toothpaste for my son, it is nice to switch for us adults as well!  

As they say —-

Going natural is safer and healthier and it's also kinder to the environment.

SPLAT, a pioneer in natural oral care in European and Asian countries, is finally in the Philippines. The Russian brand provides natural and healthier oral care while saving the environment.

SPLAT is a family-owned and -operated company that has grown into a leading global manufacturer of oral care products sold to more than 60 countries, including the Philippines. The company has been recognized by Stanford University as a TOP-30 fastest growing global brand.

Every product from SPLAT has been created in collaboration with leading dentists and specialized institutions from different parts of the world for highest efficacy. Each one offers solutions to specific oral care concerns.

Splat's toothpastes, mouthwashes and foams contain natural ingredients, essential oils and medicinal plant extracts.

What Splat products don't contain are substances that can potentially harm humans, animals and the planet. These include SLES, triclosan, chlorhexidine, aluminum lactate, peroxide, petroleum-derived products, synthetic antiseptic agents, sodium lauryl sulfate and saccharinate. The amount of foam-forming agents in certain products is also very minimal.

SPLAT doesn't use these ingredients because they can affect the oral cavity mucosa and microflora and make the cell membrane thin.

SPLAT has a wide range of toothpastes that have fluoride and are flouride-free. Splat products are manufactured in small batches with ingredients from leading global manufacturers at the company’s eco-friendly factory. SPLAT's manufacturing facility has CO2-neutral status and is certified for compliance with international standards GMP Cosmetics and ISO 9001.

Every product developed in SPLAT's laboratories is targeted at the most effective solution of dental concerns.

What I am excited about is the availability of more options for Natural toothpastes for kids!

SPLAT Kids Natural Toothpaste comes in strawberry-cherry and fruit ice cream flavors to make brushing fun for kids. The toothpaste is hypoallergenic and safe if accidentally swallowed. The ingredients include Luctatol to protect against cavities and dental plaque; calcium hydroxyapatite (HAP) to strengthen teeth enamel by replenishing calcium and aloe vera gel, l-arginine and red grape seed extract to promote heathy gums.

Fuwarie Straight and Curl - An Update!

 

YES AN UPDATE because FINALLY, a haircare product heard my woes!  I was just telling my husband about a heat-protectant product that protects and keep the style of my hair!

I am not surprised Prostyle Fuwarie made such product because I used to purchase these from Japan and hoard them because I can only find a few hair care products that I like locally!  

Fuwarie Hair Styling Mist for Curl and Straight both can do the following:

• Protect hair from heat up to 180 degrees
• Adds Moisture to your hair and prevents moisture loss.
• Keep hairstyle looking great the entir day!
• Repairs hair damage on the inside and outside with Gloss Repair and Argan Oil.
• UV Protection!

I always blowdry my hair beause I have loads of hair!  I usually wash my hair EVERY SINGLE NIGHT before I go to bed,, that said, I need to use hairdryer as I can’t lay on the pillow with wet hair!  Before blowdrying, I give a good spritz all over my hair before I blowdry.  Hair is easier to comb and manage TBH!  

I also like to curl my hair at times before an online event or meeting just to look “made up”.  I like how my curls look more natural and less-drying.
