Lifestrong at 18 : A Celebration of Purpose

 

Some hosting are extra special.  And that hosting day was last September 18, 2026.

I recently had the pleasure of hosting LifeStrong at 18, a celebration of the 18th anniversary of Lifestrong Marketing Inc. held at SOS Children’s Villages Alabang.

It was such a meaningful morning because it wasn’t just about celebrating an anniversary. It was about bringing everyone together—especially the kids, moms, ates and titas—for a morning filled with activities, learning, beauty and, of course, a lot of fun.

I was especially excited for my session with the mommies, ates and titas, where we had a little beauty bonding moment.

One thing I always enjoy sharing is how makeup doesn’t have to be complicated. We did a simple fresh makeup routine—just enough to brighten up the face, look more awake and feel a little more polished. Basically, that fresh and put-together without looking too made up kind of look that I personally love.

It was also nice seeing everyone enjoy trying things out, asking questions and simply having that little moment for themselves.

Because sometimes, especially for moms and women who are busy taking care of everyone else, a few minutes to put on makeup, fix your hair or simply do something for yourself can make such a difference.

And that's what I loved about this event.

From the kids' activities and games to the beauty session with the moms and titas, there was this wonderful feeling of everyone simply being present, participating and enjoying the morning together.

As a host, I always love events where I don't just get to stand on stage and follow a program—but actually connect with the people in the room.

Thank you, SOS Children’s Villages Alabang and Lifestrong, for having me be part of LifeStrong at 18.  Thanks to my fellow Content Creators for being there putting smiles on everyones' faces.

A beautiful celebration, a little beauty bonding, lots of smiles—and a good reminder that confidence can start with something as simple as taking a little time for yourself.

And yes, I definitely left the event feeling happy… and inspired to do my own fresh makeup routine too. 

Lifestrong Hairfix Review + Different Functions

I've talked about Hairfix products briefly as part of my favorites start of the year.  I specifically remembered mentioning it a couple of times because I was amazed how effective the product was in a single use and how inexpensive it was!  It was specifically a Fuchsia packaging called Keratin Straight and indeed, my hair was smooth and straighter than it normally was.

And since I can't go out for a salon session, I am so happy to receive these as gifts over quarantine period!  Who would've thought there were so many variants?  I only knew 1-2 but didn't know the brand expanded to more ranges based from the hair needs of each individual.

Hairfix Keratin Protein Shampoo and Conditioner

Buy 3 for Php199.00

I don't know about you but I have a kick whenever I see "Keratin" in a haircare product.  Keratin is a name for a protein found naturally in hair strands and using haircare products that has that will strengthen hair and keep hair smooth and shiny.

1 pack comes with a shampoo, a conditioner and a treatment.  You get 2x25ml of product each bag making it "sulit".  You can even use it 3-4 times if you have shorter hair.  As for me, I use all 25ml glory because I have long and thick hair!  The shampoo itself is non-drying and I don't have the need to pull my hair inside the shower.  My favorite part is the Conditioner, it acts like a treatment so I am saving up the treatment to be used once or twice a week depending on how damaged my hair is!

Cathy Doll Ready2White Milky Tone Up Eye Serum Review

You all know I love taking are of my eyes, I've seen the benefit of using eye creams and/or serums constantly through the years!  I still have an old photo of my close up eyes year 2007 against today.  Yes, there's a HUGE difference and I love my eyes today - yes, even if I'm a decade and more older.

I recently got a Christmas gift from my Cathy Doll fam and one product I'm too excited to try is their Ready2White Milky Tone Up Eye Serum - I used it right away and I've been using it for 2 weeks now.  

Here are my initial thoughts and I'll share more updates soon!
