Giordano Finding Dory Collection

New collection features pieces fit for everyone in the family!

Thirteen years ago we were all introduced to Dory, the friendly-but-forgetful blue tang fish in the extraordinary underwater world of Finding Nemo. Now the lovable character takes the lead and embarks on an exciting journey to reunite with her family in the much-anticipated movie follow-up, Finding Dory.   

Following the success of the movie tie-up campaigns like Monsters University and Inside Out, Giordano Philippines launches yet another collection featuring the new Disney Pixar animated film that gives importance to the value of family.

“Finding Dory brings out the significance of family. The movie represents the values that Giordano wants to push forward this year,” said Giordano Philippines Vice President for Merchandising Rochelle Tan.

‘Finding Dory Collection by Giordano’ features premium pieces perfect for the whole family. It comprises of high-quality fabrics, printed with typography and graphics reminiscent of the moving underwater story, for the male, female and junior lines. 

The collection, like the movie, advocates marine life conservation through infographic tees. The tees promote the three R’s of marine conservation namely, Rescue, Rehabilitate and Release.

“Aside from promoting family values, this movie also promotes the importance of marine life and how we should take necessary actions to conserve it. As a conservation advocate, Giordano, with its infographic shirts, raises awareness on this subject,” said Tan.

Also included in the collection conveying same message are a set of statement shirts featuring quotes from the movie in creative typography; a Finding Dory Icing tee set featuring quirky pocket designs; and a Hoodie set with an all-over print on the inner hood and pocket designs.

Jazz Up Your Coffee Breaks With Lotus Biscoff

There is no denying that Filipinos love their coffee anytime of the day (according to Euromonitor’s recent study, we’re in the top 50 of the top coffee consumers worldwide). The warm cup of caffeine goodness provides an instant source of inspiration and recalibrates focus, especially during the middle of a workday when energy slumps a bit and coffee breaks provide the mind that needed boost.

A 2011 study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)’s Media Laboratory showed that coffee breaks boost output among call center agents at a top US bank and this time spent to step back from work for a couple of minutes to relax and to socialize with co-workers resulted in increased annual productivity worth millions of dollars.

Typical coffee breaks can be more worthwhile and enjoyable than just chugging on your regular cup of joe. Here are ways on how to jazz up that energy-boosting break daily with Lotus Biscoff, the perfect coffee companion:

  1. Straight from the cookie jar, grab and dunk the Lotus Biscoff cookie on your coffee for a mushier consistency of the Belgian delight. Dunk. Bite. Drink. Repeat.
  2. Get a Lotus Biscoff overload by spreading a generous amount of the Lotus Biscoff cookie butter spread on your Lotus Biscoff cookie. As a twist, you can also add jam in the mix. Then pair with coffee.
  3. Top your Lotus Biscoff cookie with fresh fruit slices such as apple, strawberry or banana for a refreshing treat. If there are no fresh fruits available, puree and jams can also be used.
  4. For an ultimate pick me up, arrange a stack of Biscoff cookies, put a dollop of ice cream on top and add some chocolate sprinkles or a cherry for an indulgent home-made treat.
  5. If you happen to have a chocolate craving, dunk the cookie in a chocolate spread and enjoy with your warm cup of coffee.

The crispy Belgian delight is known for its ginger-y and caramel-y taste with a hint of cinnamon after every bite.

More than homage to the brand, the “Lotus” stamped on the cookies refers to the flower of the same name that symbolizes purity, akin to the Lotus Bakeries’ mission to only use pure and high-quality ingredients for its 80-year-old recipe. Each cookie is individually wrapped to ensure that newly baked freshness.

“Lotus Biscoff cookies use only the best ingredients for its recipe to make sure that they maintain the product’s high standards for cookies that are deliciously yours. Each successful recipe has a secret ingredient and for Lotus Biscoff cookies, it is this heart for excellence in ensuring that each cookie is always the best,” said Emie San Beda, Fly Ace Corporation Product Manager for Lotus Biscoff.

On your next coffee break, have a Lotus Biscoff  cookie. And fall in love at first bite!

6 Things New Moms Can Do To Keep Babies Comfortable

Becoming a mom is both exciting and frightening. The moment your little bundle of joy comes to the world, your life changes in the most unexpected ways. You become more selfless. You will spend your days thinking only of how to keep your baby at ease. Below are six things you can do to ensure that your baby is always comfortable and happy.

1.    Pick the right clothes. Choose easy-to-wear clothes such as onesies that can be easily worn. Also, always buy clothes that are one size bigger as babies grow quickly. 

2.    Invest in high quality baby products. Your little sweetheart deserves the best. Make sure you get only the safest and the most trusted products like Babyflo for all your baby’s needs.

3.    A soothing balm is your new best friend. Always bring a soothing balm to protect your little one’s skin against diaper rash. One good balm is the Babyflo petroleum jelly which is proven safe for your baby’s tender and sensitive skin.

4.   Stock up on necessary products when travelling. Whether you’re going to the pedia or to the mall, always be ready for bathroom emergencies by bringing extra clothes, diapers and Babyflo baby wipes.

5.   Breastfeed as much as you can. Aside from making your baby healthy, the skin-to-skin contact during breastfeeding also reduces baby’s stress and pain. According to a research published in AACN Clinical Issues, skin-to-skin contact stimulates the nervous system and makes babies feel safe and calm. 

6.    Give them a massage. Everyone loves a soothing rub, even babies! Lather them with the mild Babyflo baby oil and gently stroke their shoulders, back, arms and legs. A regular massage not only relaxes your baby, but also improves his/her developing muscles.

Having a child is a life-changing experience. It will be challenging and it may be difficult. But with all your love and hard work, you will surely still be the best mom in your baby’s eyes.

Babyflo products are available in all Mercury Drug stores and other leading supermarkets nationwide.

Television technology has once again been elevated with the latest Samsung Curved TVs. Launched at the “Archipelago: The 2016 Samsung Curved TV Dealer Launch,” more than 170 dealers, partners, and stakeholders joined Samsung executives at the City of Dreams last May 25 for an evening of discovery, innovation, and entertainment.

“This launch is a significant step towards our goal of continuing to be the No.1 TV Brand in the Philippines,” President and CEO of Samsung Electronics Philippines Corporation Kevin Lee said. He also thanked the guests for their unwavering support.

The star of the evening was the Samsung Curved SUHD TV boasting its Quantum Dot Technology and High Dynamic Range (HDR), which conventional TVs cannot replicate. The Quantum Dot technology gives viewers life-like color expression with up to 1 billion colors. HDR gives a wider range of brightness, allowing us to see even the smallest details. The Samsung SUHD Curved TV also features the new Samsung One Remote, an amazing upgrade to the traditional remote control that lets you control every connected device in your TV with just one remote.

“The Samsung Curved SUHD TV merges innovative technology and elegant design to give viewers a TV experience like no other. This is how Samsung redefines the way we view TV,” Jun Guevara, Head of Product Marketing of Samsung TV, added.

The full line up of Samsung Curved TVs were also showcased during the event. From Curved UHD TVs that have real 4k resolution to Curved Full HD TVs which are more affordable allowing more people to experience this innovation.

Guests were also the first to see the HyperTV, Samsung’s line of TVs with removable stands, front firing speakers that deliver better sound clarity, and All Care Protection that protects the HyperTV from insects, virus, dust, lightning surge, electrical surge and humidity. The launch

also showcased Samsung’s newest next-level audio products, the Curved SoundBar and WAM 360, which ensure balanced and superior sound quality.

Also in attendance were Samsung executives Vice President of Consumer Electronics Jun Filart, Head of TV and Audio Gally Chua, Business Manager for Audio Visual Chris Choi, Head of Trade and Marketing Jupiter Guibone, and Regional Sales Director for TV and Audio Binggoy Mauricio.
