What Should You Do With Your Valuables When You Travel?

There are plenty of things to sort out when you choose to travel. However, one overlooked thing is what you should do with your valuables. You've all got certain things that are valuable to you in one way or another. They might be expensive, rare, or sentimental. So, what should you do with these valuables when you travel? Truthfully, there are four different options to consider...

Bring them with youOption number one is to take your valuables with you. This might make sense depending on what your valuables are. If you have an expensive laptop or camera, you're probably going to bring them with you anyway. However, it doesn't make much sense to take a family heirloom on your travels! Often, bringing things with you will only increase the odds of them being stolen or lost. 

Sakura Hanami - Maginhawa QC

Hanami, translates to flower viewing, a centuries old tradition of having a picnic under cherry blossom trees. Sakura Hanami aims to bring a piece of this Japanese culture, by treating guests to a visual representation of this much-loved tradition. Hence, you will spot a faux cherry blossom tree outside of the café and the ceiling and walls are full of faux pink flowers. The place and the drinks are super IG-worthy! ⁣

Moreover, I’ve tried a lot of milk teas since it has become a trend and a staple drink in the Philippines; but I must say there are only a few that really stand out and one of them is Sakura Hanami. I’ve heard of it and got invited by friends to visit but never got the chance only until last weekend. And it was really nice afternoon to spend on catching up. ⁣⁣

Practical Tips to Help You Avoid Burnout While Working From Home

The global pandemic notwithstanding, more and more people are negotiating for more flexible working hours, which often means remote working and a lot of working from home. For any employee, the level of flexibility therein accorded is something short of a dream come true. While it might not be an option that works for everyone, it’s an arrangement that’s now preferred by most employers, and most people who preferred the order of commutes to and from work and getting things done by a specific time have had to get on with the way things are now. 

But even with the flexibility and the extra layer of freedom that comes from working from home, one thing is clear – more than ever, the risk of burnout is at a high. And with burnout, there’s the drop in productivity, which only harms a company’s bottom line, not to mention individual health. So, how do we go about it? How do you draw the line between work and non-work tasks, personal and professional lives? With your afternoons blending with the evening and the weekdays blending with your weekends, and consequently a very little sense of time off, how do you keep up or maintain your flow, mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing? And more importantly, how do you balance work and family without burning out completely? 

How to keep your eyes healthy whilst working from home

Working on a computer or other kind of screen all day can have a negative impact on our eyes. From headaches and eye strain to dry eyes and blurred vision, there are many different symp-toms that you might find yourself experiencing – particularly if you’re working at home now due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Luckily there are a few simple steps you can take to help miti-gate the impact of heavy screen use on your eyes, all of which you can continue to follow if and when you go back to the office. Here are our top tips.

Take regular breaks from the screenWhilst it’s impossible to avoid screen use altogether, getting away from them for brief moments throughout the day can be really helpful. A great tip to follow is the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes look at something about 20 feet away from you for 20 seconds. This is a simple trick that helps relax the eye muscles and ensure that they get the breaks they require. If possible, try and get outdoors into the fresh air and sunshine to feel the biggest benefit. When you really can’t get away from the screen, try and deliberately blink more often in order to keep your eyes more moist.

My Very Own Starry Night Over The Rhone by Van Gogh c/o Photowall Sweden + Discount Code

If you guys dont know it yet, I'm a HUGE fan of the Dutch impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh. It is one of my life goals to see his masterpieces in person and to visit Nuenen, Netherlands -his birthplace. I remember one of the subjects I had back in University of Asia the Pacific was about European arts, while all my classmates were bored and pretending to listen to our professor (who was excited everytime she talks about all these things and her travels to Europe), I was the only one paying attention, fascinated by the paintings and sculptures by European artists flashed on the projector. 



Van Gogh was one of the Impressionists that intrigued me, Starry Night Over the Rhone is my fave work of his (and no not the famous Starry Starry night that you know). I remember my professor telling us with so much enthusiasm about Van Gogh's mental illness and how it affected his work. Last year, I visited Van Gogh's digital exhibit, I became fully aware of that, as this showed Van Gogh’s life and works, throughout his life, and you could see how evident his mental illness with his choice of colors, the heaviness of his brushstrokes and the lack of the detail that he used to have, as he succumbed to his  own demons. Tragically, he’s one of these artists who never got to experience the fruits and glory of his talent and works.

How Beauty Procedures Have Changed with Technology

Technology and beauty have always had a relationship. From the time of the ancient Egyptians, stretching to the present day, humans have used advances in technological prowess to influence the way we look. 

These days, the beauty industry is a modern integrated industry using unique technologies. Advanced chemical engineering practices create anti-aging serums fit for a Shakespearian witch. Cosmetic surgeons use lasers and micro-surgery techniques to alter the way we look. Snapchat and Instagram filters change the way we look without actually changing our bodies.
Looking into the future, beauty in a post-COVID-19 world may incorporate augmented reality to allow customers to try on makeup without touching examples. 

Send smiles and hugs this Christmas, say it with Ben’s Cookies!

And just like that, the year is about to end. It was January of 2020, me making plans for the summer and to migrate somewhere in Europe for good, I blinked, and it is already December. What just happened? I’m still in awe. Can we, like, cancel 2020? As If it never happened? In 2021, can we do a reset, move  a year and take out 2020? I mean, seriously. 

During times like this when I reflect back to the year that was, I can’t help but get a little bit sad of the things on my goals list that I want able to tick out. What a bummer, right? And something like this needs a pick-me-upper. Such a timely thing though, I went out last Sunday with my girlfriends for brunch and when I got home a box of Ben’s Cookies was waiting for me. Hello, it’s just England’s best cookie brand lang naman! So obviously, I’m beyond ecstatic!
