Mystery Shampoo: Revealed

For weeks, an unbranded shampoo with a big question mark populated the Internet and TV ads.

Teasers calls it as the Mystery Shampoo, tagged as "the world's number one hair care brand."

I got my sample not from the website where I registered to receive a sample, but from the "I Commit to Change" movement on Facebook. It's a campaign created to share and encourage others to make a change in their lives.

The secret is finally uncovered. It was last August 1 when the mystery shampoo is revealed on a local-network as the new Pantene Pro-V range. It now comes in three variants suited for a woman's hair type and would help solve their toughest hair problems:

Pantene Total Care - Less Split Ends

Pantene Hair Fall Control - Reduces Hair Fall

Pantene Glossy Shine- Tames Unruly Tangles

I've seen the connection that the "campaign" and Pantene created. Everyday we can do a commitment to make a change. As you make a commitment in various aspects of your life, Pantene assures you of an experience of hair transformation in 14 days.

Tried by 150 million across 14 countries, it’s the No.1 shampoo brand, worldwide. You try, you decide.

The mystery is out. The Mystery Shampoo is the All New Pantene range.

Now, are you ready to make a commitment?

Learn, Save and Enjoy With Private Iris

My kids have varied interests, but they both love books, comic books and magazines. Aside from their monthly magazine subscriptions, a week won't be complete without a trip to the bookstore. They are looking forward to the day when they can buy "lots of books!" Sooner, their little corner at home would start to look like a mini-library.

Private Iris would be a great addition to their reading materials! I'm thrilled to know that by unanimous decision I've WON a 12-issue subscription of Private Iris from Manilamommy's Giveaway! The gift certificate from the Picture Company is also an added bonus.

I've simply answered the question: In what aspects do you encourage your child to be unique and different, and in what aspects do you encourage your child to follow others’ examples?

Here's my winning answer:

Thanks to Mommymanila and Private Iris for this great giveway!

Hug Your Kids Everyday

“We need four hugs a day for survival. We need eight hugs a day for maintenance. We need twelve hugs a day for growth.” - Virginia Satir, family therapist

Hugs warm the heart and touches the soul.

I love giving my kids a hug, holding them close to my heart and wrapping them in the warm folds of my arms. It's my way of letting them know that I value and love them. It makes me feel good and I know that it makes my kids happier too.

July 19 is Hug Your Kids Day! It's a global, year-round movement, encouraging parents to hug their kids every day. It's a program founded by Michelle Nichols, who believes that hugs can make a kid's day, and even change his life.

It's good that here in the Philippines, Children's Clusivol supports this movement through the National Yakap Your Child Day. I've supported this movement and joined the thousands of people who have pledged to hug their kids everyday!

I've sent in three pictures at Yakapables.com simply to show my commitment - a picture hugging my daughter, hugging my son and hugging both of them. With sheer luck, our picture was even chosen as one of the Winning Photo for Week 1. I've got to receive a limited edition Yakapable shirt and gift packs.

It feels good to give and receive a hug. Support this movement and hug your kids everyday!
