What's Inside My First Aid Pouch In School

I blogged about miss going back to school. I sometimes wish I never had to grow up and graduate levels so I get to be pampered by my parents to the core. It's funny how my parents (both of traditional Chinese heritage) would freak out every time I leave home without my lunch and my first aid pouch!



My parents started to routinely make me bring a small pouch bag of first aid kit when I was in high school. I didn't like it in the beginning but eventually, i realized how necessary it was for kids. My best friend in school  at one time had a headache prior to an exam and good thing I have my kit with me so I was able to give her a medicine. A P.E. classmate got a cut and I gave him a bandage. Another classmate got her menstrual period and I gave her immediately a sanitary napkin. Although I never really got to use much of my kit's content, but I sort of became a class nurse for bringing first aid stuff. I was proud of being remembered more first than the school nurse. Ah well, my parents had to do the weekly refill of course, especially on the rubbing alcohol. Ha ha those were the days that just to have clean hands, I need to carry a big bottle of rubbing alcohol with me!

College was the same except for some great changes. I got a Burberry overnight pouch as a gift from my parents and it all contained my first aid kit this time with the contents got smaller and more handy. Time evolved!

If you are in school, it would be good if you bring with you a first aid kit for high school and college as you never know when you or someone you know will need its' contents.  If you are parents, I would start thinking of packing for your son or daughter a first aid kit. A good kit of supplies is a great school gift. Packing the basics with information on how to use the supplies is cool!

Remembering my teen to college days, these are the most essential for me:

  • Adhesive bandages in all sizes
  • Non-stick gauze to cover larger wounds
  • Adhesive tape to help secure the gauze
  • An Antibiotic Ointment to prevent infections in a wound or minor burn
  • Elastic Bandage to wrap and provide compression for sprains and strains
  • Ice Pack for when an injury first occurs
  • Acetaminophen - great for headaches and pains
  • Ibuprofen - also great for headaches and pain from inflammation or swelling
  • Diphenhydramine - for itchy bug bites and allergies like Benadryl
  • Cough drops / sore throat lozenges - great to soothe minor throat pain like Strepsils
  • Tweezers for removing splinters 
  • Thermometer
  • Eye wash - I recommend Eye-Mo still 
  • Anti-bacteria Hand Spray - I recommend what I always carry with me - Hygienix - because it's handy and formulated to keep hands soft and smooth


Packing up a few first aid essentials is not embarrassing for teens! It is actually a great gift. My parent's made sure I bring it with me all the time because it serves as a reminder to always stay safe and a lesson in how to take care of problems while away from home. All that - in one kit! a

Hygienix Lunchout Promo Got Me A Free Yoshinoya Coffee Jelly

So cool this essential anti-bacterial product called Hygienix! Not only that it is part of my emergency health kit or pouch, it got me a free coffee jelly at Yoshinoya!


Coffee Jelly is my favorite! It's a refreshing treat all the way from Japan served with frozen whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Although it is also delicious with ice cream, regular whipped cream or flavored coffee cream. Coffee Jelly is served solid in glasses, cubed in bowls or cups just like the one here at various Yoshinoya branches in the Greater Manila Area (GMA)!

Click to Zoom!
Went for lunch at Yoshinoya's Robinsons' Galleria branch last July 10 and I saw the promo. Good thing I have a coupon from my purchase of Hygienix Anti-bacterial Handspray which entitled me to avail a free coffee jelly. How you can avail of it too and where? Here's a copy of the promo:

Vitress Hair Solutions Hair Relax Serum

I don’t know about other women, but with regards to my hair, styling and blowdrying it has become the bane of my existence. I find that styling and blow drying it straight very time consuming and it damages my hair making it brittle and dry especially at the ends. Fortunately, I found a wonderful product called Vitress Hair Solutions Hair Relax Serum which made blow drying a thing of the past and styling my hair a breeze.
Vitress Hair Relax Serum is a clear liquid that comes in a 30ml bottle. Using it is very simple because you just apply it to damp or dry hair and you just style your hair as you normally would. It makes the hair soft and shiny and straight, thus eliminating the need to iron or blow-dry the hair to make it straight. It also has a nice scent which makes the hair smell fresh. The straightening effect of Vitress lasts for the whole day.
I really like it because, as a busy mom, it cuts time I spend on my hair in half and it makes my naturally wavy hair straighter and more manageable.


I would recommend this product to other people, women in particular who have wavy, curly and hard to manage hair who like the look of straight hair without all the fuss and the effects of using the blowdryer. It’s really simple to use and very inexpensive that you can use it every day. The great thing about it is that it doesn’t damage the hair and it really smells good too.

Vitress Hair Solutions


I got sick and tired of going to the salon to get a hot-oil, it was expensive and time consuming. So I asked my friends for a Do-It-Yourself hot-oil treatment. And they all told me to try Vitress Hair Solutions. I bought the Vitress Hair Spa: Revive for damaged, color-treated or straightened hair because it was the closest one I needed for my permed hair.

It didn’t say how often I could use it, so I decided to treat my hair once a week. And so far, Vitress has done a wonderful job with reviving my hair. After my perm, my hair dried out and I got split ends. But Vitress has changed that. I now that soft, smooth and healthy hair, even the split ends are gone. I also love the smell, it’s actually smells of mint and lavender, not a bad combination actually.

Vitress Hair Polish - Sun Protect


Before, I used to have this unmanageable long wavy hair. I tried using some products to keep my hair in place but all were in vain. I tried using some hair spray which only added more damage on my hair. Then, I saw this add about a certain product that is good for fixing unmanageable hair. Its name is Vitress Hair Polish. This is a very good product to tame unwanted hair. This is available in different variants: Strengthening, Sun Protect and Long Lasting Fragrance. I bought the Sun Protect variant since it offers Sun Defense System that protects hair against harmful UV Rays. It is available in 50 ml and 100 ml bottle. I love its bottle since it is very handy and I can just slip it in my bag. It costs around PhP40 (Philippine Peso) or US$1. It is quite affordable and readily available in any cosmetic outlets or drugstores.

Anyway, I have been using this product since my college days. I like to use it when I want to achieve a sweep-up look. It deeply penetrates the hair and has great moisturizing effect. It is creamy, light and non-greasy on my hair. I can just apply it smoothly. A small application of this product goes a long way. It leaves my hair smooth and silky shine. My hair is easy to manage. In addition, it is not irritating on the skin. I also love its pleasant scent. However, its scent does not last longer but I don’t mind at all. What is more important is achieving that clean look on my hair.

My final verdict, I would highly recommend this product. It offers a lot of advantages on your hair. It is a good moisturizer, sun protection, cheap and very effective. This is a must have for people who have unmanageable and dry hair!

Vitress: @SolennHeussaff’s secret to beautiful hair

Vitress: @SolennHeussaff’s secret to beautiful hair


“What I like about Vitress Hair Cuticle Coat is that it gives me instant, intense shine anywhere, anytime. Whenever there’s a fashion show, a pictorial, taping or a film shoot, I need to get that intense shine as fast as possible. Vitress does the job for me, instantly, in every situation.”


















Last June 15, Wednesday, I was invited to attend the Vitress ‘new endorser and product’ press release in Astoria Plaza, Ortigas. Vitress offers new products for hair’s next level of shine… the Vitress Leave-on Cuticle Coat. It is a special blend of silicones that tightly coats and seals every hair strand. It has three specialized variants:

Vitress Hair Repair It protects the hair from the bad effects of chemicals used in dyeing, perming, and other hair treatments.
Vitress Instant Relax It works best for those who have curly and wavy hair and for taming unruly and giving it a naturally straighter look.
Vitress Heat Protect It protects hair from the harmful effects of frequent curling, ironing or blow-drying. As the company released its new product, they exposed their new product endorser.
According to Joanna King, Vitress Brand Manager, she is the perfect spokesperson for Vitress because her lifestyle shows the importance of caring for one’s hair. “She doesn’t have to say a word. All that people have to see is how smooth, shiny, manageable and healthy her hair is. She simply has this gorgeous head of hair that everyone wisher they had,” says Joanna.
I used to buy and use this kind of product before. But I think Vitress really makes hair shiny and beautiful. Plus, it’s handy! Now that they’ve released the new Vitress Leave-on Hair Cuticle Coat, I’ll make sure to use it to make my hair MORE beautiful anywhere, anytime! Thank you, Vitress!
Vitress  products are available at department stores, supermarkets, and drug stores nationwide.

Facial Reviews: Maxi-Peel

The Maxi Peel Facial product mainly focuses on treating acne problems that ranges from moderate to severe cases even blackheads and whiteheads. The product is said to consist of a combination of Hydroquinone and Treinoin, which are the active ingredients used to get rid of the said skin problems. It is also believed to be effective for promoting lighter skin and preventing the formation of dark spots.



Maxi Peel Facial: How it Works
The main ingredients in the Maxi Peel Facial, Hydroquinone and Tretinoin, are said to help treat mild to severe cases of pimples, whiteheads and blackheads. All you need to do is to apply the solution to your face. Use it as indicated on the package and do not overuse it because it might cause redness or burn the skin. The peeling will happen in several days of using the product and you can use a moisturizer to hide the peeling of the skin. You must not rub your skin if it is peeling.

Maxi Peel Facial: Cost
The price of this product ranges from $5 to $6 and it differs from the beauty shop you purchase it from. Since it is popularly known in the market today, it can be bought from the local pharmacy, department stores and even groceries. You can also find it on eBay.

How to use Maxi-Peel



1.) Before using it you should check if you have a very sensitive skin and the severity of your acne.




There are 3 kinds of Maxi peel:
No. 1 for light cases and sensitive skin.
No. 2 for moderate cases
No. 3 for severe cases

2.) You should choose the number that suits your acne condition.
3.) Use it only once a day (evening) but NOT DAILY. Your skin will peel after the first or second use. Use it every other day or 2 to 4 four times a week. When your skin starts to peel, that's the time that you should give it a rest from the product until all dead skins are peeled off and then continue untill you are clear and flawless.
4.) Use an alcohol and salicylic acid free moisturizers to prevent it from stinging. Jojoba oil is good. I also use Olay daily sensitive day and night cream.
5.) Your skin will appear dark but it is normal. It will lighten when you are finish using the product.
6.) Avoid touching and picking your face while using the product. Your skin will be sensitive and a bit irritating because of the active ingredients found in this product and it will just irritate it more if you often touch and pick it.
7.) Give yourself a week off (optional) if want to use this product and or if you think you can't manage to go in public with an obvious peeling of the skin on your face.
9.) Eat healthy and drink plenty of water.
8.) When you are finally clear, you can stop using the product and use anti-bacterial, PH balanced facial clears and toners,and acne preventing moisturizers for maintenance.

I have experienced of trying different kinds of products, methods and ways of curing acne but none of them worked as effective as the Maxi Peel.

Before taking any medications (that can possibly cause lots of side effects), you should consider using Maxi Peel first. I have good looking,

Get whiter skin with Maxi-Peel Exfoliant Cream

erm.. i tried it when i was at my adolesence stage! i started havn break-outs that time then i used it before. it do works good on pigmentation.. try #3 first so you can achieve good result but if you find it so strong can go for #2 if possible..



then you're gonna experience a deep peeling but that how it all depends on ur skin reaction. you can feel that your skin will get either a bit redness, tighter, dry and flaky at first. for some, they can experience having some bumps reactions coz it brings out all your ungrowth pimple (erm..sorry dunno how to explain it tt far) i know it got something to do with our oil glands.. but you should continue using it, dont stop! it will vanish eventually. then if you are satisfy after peeling/ or if you can see that your pimple is vanishing already continue it by using #1.. but please if you were at age between 13-17 you should go for milder like Maxi-Peel #1.

better use moisturizer after using it. then you can also try using their lightening cream for better result!


A forum review by Kizsme

See the transformation using Maxi-Peel Exfoliant Soap

My review on Maxi-Peel exfoliant soap.

I actually gave up on my acne because I was having breakouts one after another. There was NEVER a day (and I'm not exaggerating!) that I dont get a new pimple on my face... until this soap came.







Product claims
As your body gets exposed to the harsh elements from the environment, your skin becomes dull, acne-prone, and uneven. You need to renew your skin's beauty by removing acne-causing dirt and dead skin cells that prevent your skin to be at its best condition. 



the soap has like green stuff embeded into it and using half of it lasted me almost 6 weeks.

My story:
So to tell you honestly, this is more of a rave than a review just because I am deeply in love with this soap and NOPE, I am not raving about this product just because it's from the Philippines, I like it because it works for me and I don't think anything has been this effective in keeping my skin under control for the longest period of time ever.
My auntie actually introduced me to this soap because she noticed that her co-worker had a clear skin which is unusual because she said that her co-worker had tons of acne on her face too, prolly not as worst as mine but you get the idea.

So I told myself, what's there to lose, my acne can't be any worst than it is now.

I religiously used the soap and the first week of using it was just amaaaaaazing, I didn't really break out as often as I used to and some of my HUGE cystic acne were drying. I didn't really take photos while using the soap for 2 weeks just because I thought it was just another product that will come and go but it proved me wrong, some things really don't need to be that expensive to work, you just have to find the right product that suits your skin. Believe me when I tell you that I had spent so much money(not that I'm rich but I consider myself below middle class) struggling with acne and just getting my skin back, I have tried these and that!(sadly I wasn't into blogging at that time so I was not able to post any reviews about all the products that I used)


Before using the soap, didn't want to post this pix of mine but I had no other choice lol, I can't find any pictures of me with acne that I looked good.


So on my 3rd week of using it, I started to document my reuslts just because I am really seeing an overall improvement on my skin.

3rdweek

4th week

5th week


6th week


How did I use it?
note: for that 6-week period time, I only used this soap, no moisturizer, no toner, no anything just because I wanted to see the effectiveness of this product, So even if my face was really becoming flaky and super dry, I did not use anything with it until after that 6-week period time.

In the morning I would wash my face with luke warm water then rub the soap on my palms until it creates a foamy texture then I would apply that on my face and leave it on for 3-6 minutes then I'll wash it with luke warm water and finish it with a splash of cold water. I repeat those steps in the evening and at night.

Vitress Leave-on Cuticle Coat Product Review


My husband and daughter both sport long hairs and both are equally vain. Troy ties his hair in a pony when going to work or business meetings. He uses Vitress leave on cuticle coat to keep his unruly hair in place. He likes the sleek look, he says. Problem he encountered with Vitress is that if you put too many, you can look super oily.
On the other hand, we love using Vitress on Peaches because we often style it with clips, ribbons or braids. It keeps her hair off her eyes. We’ve been using it for sometime now and we don’t see any damaging effect on both father and daughter’s hair.
Personally I do use it from time to time and I just don’t like how oily it can get when you use it. It even leaves a greasy feel on your palms after applying it on your hair.

Use just a teeny bit and work from the root of your hair down to the tip if you’re letting your hair down. If you’re planning to style it, you can use a bit more so it’ll be easier to manipulate and it helps make your hairstyle stay in place. Perfect alternative for spraynets which by the way are damaging to your hair (I don’t even want to use that to  my 3y.o.) and the ozone layer!
Product Improvement Suggestion:
Vitress can think of a lesser oily product or come up with a water based product and have it on a spray bottle so we can directly spray it on the hair.
It’s very  handy. My husband is in the travel business and we are often on the go, Vitress is easy to keep on his hand carried luggage! It’s cheaper and do not present any damaging effect.
Recently, Vitress came with other variants of their leave on cuticle coat product. They now have:
Cuticle Coat Specialized
Vitress Instant Relax Cuticle Coat which works best for those who have curly andwavy hair. This product is best for taming unruly hair and giving it a naturallystraighter look.
Vitress Hair Repair Cuticle Coat which protects the hair from the bad effects of chemicals used in dyeing, perming, and other hair treatments. Best for dry and damaged hair.
Lastly, Vitress Heat Protect Cuticle Coat which protects hair from the harmful effects of frequent curling, ironing or blow-drying so you can wear all the hairstyles youwant!
Oh and they also have Vitress hair polish! I should tell the husband to try it. Any feedback if the hair polish line is nice?
