Experience The Golden Holidays with The New Magnolia Gold Label Ice Cream

Do you still remember your favorite childhood ice cream? I sure do! I still remember going to our favorite ice cream house on weekends to enjoy some ice cream sundaes, splits and parfaits. I can also remember buying some cool ice popsicles whenever a roving ice cream vendor passes by. Recess in school also includes a trip to the canteen for some scoops of our favorite ice cream flavors. What all these have in common? They are all golden moments with Magnolia ice cream!

Since 1925, Magnolia has been creating some of our fondest memories with ice cream. Now, the leading ice cream brand celebrates the arrival of the New Magnolia Gold Label Ice Cream that will truly make these moments even more special.

The New Magnolia Gold Label Ice Cream is now made better and creamier with fresh carabao's milk, and is certified pure with no artificial flavors. You can expect only the richest and creamiest ice cream moment with every scoop of the new Magnolia Gold Label ice cream. 

Last October, Magnolia launched their Gold Label series through a reveal party hosted by chef and restaurateurs Marvin Agustin and Happy Ongpauco-Tiu. The event was joined by the country's top celebrities like Alden Richards, Megan Young, and Olympic Gold Medalist Hidilyn Diaz, who each shared their own golden moments with Magnolia Gold Label Ice Cream.

Saigon Corner PH Tomas Morato- A Taste of Vietnam in Quezon City

Miss traveling? Miss eating out? Miss your favorite local and international dishes? The past year truly has changed the way we live our lives. One day you are free to go anywhere you want, then the next day, you see yourself restricted to the four corners of your home. 

Thankfully though, the quarantine season has introduced me to a world full of gastronomic delights.-home chefs and bakers showcasing their culinary skills and local food establishments offering their well-loved dishes for us to enjoy in the comforts of our home. 

One restaurant I discovered during the ECQ is Saigon Corner in Sgt. Esguerra Ave. near Tomas Morato. 


Saigon Corner specializes in authentic Vietnamese cuisine such as Bahn Mi, Pho, and rolls carefully prepared by Chef Trung. I had the chance to try some of Saigon Corner's best-selling dishes, and it was such a refreshing yet filling meal.

Foreo UFO Review: Revolutionary Smart Mask Treatment at Home in 90 Seconds!

I'll admit, I am very much a low-maintenance skincare kind of girl. I rarely go to facial spa centers, and I don't own a lot of skin care products. For me, an effective skin care routine should be simple, convenient, and most importantly, sustainable- a routine you can religiously follow and stick to. 

As far as my skin care routine goes, cleanse, tone and moisturize are my bare-minimum. I want something quick and manageable, but at the same time successful in keeping my skin clear, bright and hydrated. 

Good thing I came across UFO by Swedish  brand Foreo. UFO is a complete smart mask treatment that combines a dynamic innovation of dermal technologies with exclusive Korean mask formulas in one revolutionary device. 

Imagine having one sophisticated device that can give you a refreshing and luxurious spa-like facial treatment in seconds, and being able to enjoy it from the comfort of your very own home! 


First, let's talk about the physical features of the UFO. The UFO by Foreo comes in a palm-size circular device that functions as a personal facial spa you can bring anytime, anywhere.
