If by chance that you were able to check out my article about Pillows by Uratex Philippines + Informative Pillow Facts, you had probably read that there were a wide array of pillow types that could fit each person's lifestyle and needs. I also mentioned my top choice, Permasoft Pillows, which I purchased several pieces to replace our old pillows.

Almost two years have passed, and all of them are still in good condition. For just Php439.75 each, obviously they are all worth every centavo. They serve us very well indeed. For months, we sleep comfortably and soundly without experiencing body pains and aches upon waking up.

While we are enjoying our Permasoft Pillows, Mom has her own favorite next to them. She says that ever since she's been using it, she doesn't feel back or nape pain despite prolonged sitting due to bead working. She feels that this pillow follows the contour of her body while feeling cool too. For more than a year now, it's her tool of comfort that makes her do what she loves better and longer.

The pillow that I am talking about is Senso Memory Celeste Gel Pillow. I got it as a token from the Uratex Sparty that I attended last year.

Why do Mom and I recommend it for those individuals who are experiencing body pain while resting, sleeping, or sitting and difficulty in sleeping? 

Well, it is specially formulated with Aqua Cool© Gel Technology that uses intermeshed, three- dimensional gel waves for greater airflow, resulting to a long- lasting, cooling sensation for the neck, back, and head.

It also uses high-quality memory foam for extra plush comfort feel, alleviating pressure points.

For Php2,699.75 you might be thinking that it's quite expensive but I tell you, it's one of the best investments that you can get for your health and wellness. It's comfy, durable, and functional.

I like more that it has a separate velvety soft cover that promotes more comfort that is easy to remove from the pillow, wash, and put back again. Isn't it cool?

Aside from the Permasoft Pillows, I also recommend this to my friends whenever they ask me the best pillow to purchase. I'm so glad that they agree that I'm right after trying. 

You may visit any authorized Uratex Philippines dealer or warehouse near you to buy yours. I am confident that you are not going to regret it.

I was one of the blessed mom bloggers who were invited by Uratex Philippines to attend its intimate Sparty in its Premium Mattress Gallery in Ronac Lifestyle Center Magallanes on May 6, 2016. Honestly, the reason that I immediately said yes to the invite was my eagerness to see Miss Crissy Mojica, Uratex Philippines Brand Marketing Executive, in person and to have a quick tour on the gallery. I wanted to compare it with the one in Ronac Art Center Greenhills, San Juan. Being pampered would definitely be a bonus! I was so busy with my mom duties and had no time for relaxing for the past few months.

I commute when I go to events. Magallanes, Makati City was far from home but I didn't mind. Ronac Lifestyle Center was located in Paseo de Magallanes, which was very accessible to public transportation.

I came just right on time and was welcomed by warm people and ambience.



After freshening up, I registered and was given by the very accommodating Mr. Jerome of AMPR the list of what to accomplish before the ultimate pampering session. I was really, really excited to do them all because it was not just a sparty but an educational trip for me as well.


I immediately went on the second floor to explore the different Uratex Premium Collection. I was greeted by the very friendly, Miss Debbie, and showed me the different beds that I could try on. I chose the collection with hard foams rather than the softer ones and was asked to take the Xsensor Challenge. Unfortunately, due to my excitement to go around the area and feel every mattress and pillows, I forgot to try it! I would do it on my next visit.

By the way, the Xsensor Machine is a device that detects whether the mattress suits the client or not.

My next stop was the Uratex Monoblock Collection display, where Miss Crissy was located. Finally we where able to see each other in person. After exchanging hellos and a pep talk, she told me that I could take a selfie with the newest addition to the collection, Olympia Chairs, post it on Instagram with further instructions for a chance to win four Olympia Chairs of my choice. How bongga!

What is so special about Olympia Chairs? They are Nitrogen injected that makes them more durable, sturdy, and skid-free. Olympia Chairs can carry heavier persons without the fear of damaging the chairs.

After my encounter with the fabulous Olympia Chairs and Miss Crissy, I proceeded to the room where Miss Jill was in  charge. I watched a video and learned about Tips on How to Have a Good Sleep, taught by Dr. Romeo Aguilera, a Sleep Specialist from the Philippine Society of Sleep Medicine. Then I was asked by Miss Jill two tips that I remembered. She gave me a nice tumbler after answering. Hindi ba ang saya?



It was time for pampering downstairs but I chose to stay and roam around the second floor. I was approached again by Miss Debbie and asked me if I could take a Pillow Selfie, post it on Instagram to get a free pillow. I was not good at taking selfies and she helped me in capturing this. I felt so ackward. Halatang-halata, 'di ba?


I already accomplished the tasks and it was time for the Sparty! As I was going down the stairs, I saw the iconic Sixinch Collection. How splendid!



Since the pampering area was still filled with mommy bloggers, I went straight to the buffet. The food catered by The Creamery was satisfying.

When it was my turn to get pampered, my mommy blogger friends and I were given gift packs from Downy and Celebrity Nails.

Miss Pat was the one who did my foot spa, pedicure, and manicure. She was very nice and her hands were therapeutic.

 
Aside from the super relaxing pampering session, good food, cozy ambience, and quick tour around the gallery, I was able to see my old mom blogger friends and met new ones as well. I felt rejuvenated because moments like this would seldom happen to me because of mom duties.

All of us were treated like queens from start to finish. Uratex Philippines provided us with a transport service too so that we could go to our destinations safely and hassle-free. An additional gift was also given to us. Each got a SENSO MEMORY CELESTE TRADITIONAL GEL PILLOW.

I took so many pictures and I would like to show them all to you through a slide show:



According to Miss Debbie, most of the items displayed in Ronac Lifestyle Center Magallanes are high end. I wish that Uratex Philippines can include its classic collection too like in Ronac Art Gallery Greenhills and Uratex Philippines Retail Showroom Quezon City.

Thank you so much, Uratex Philippines for the unforgettable Mother's Day treat!

I am one of those moms who admit that their pet peeve is seeing the house disorganized. Honestly, I can't concentrate in doing tasks when I see clutter everywhere. I have this eagerness to clean every single space until my time for doing my planned tasks is already taken.

I swear that I am eternally OC (Obsessive Compulsive) when it comes to cleanliness and organization but when talking about the refrigerator and freezer, these areas are the ones that I neglect to organize.  Paano naman kasi, I always change containers especially the ones that are being used to store food.

The previous containers that I used especially the ones stored in the freezer would become brittle and would crack due to constant exposure to very low temperature and their tendency to stick on ice. Taking them off was literally like a battle! Due to these reasons, I would end up placing food for freezer storing in plastic bags which were very unhygienic and unpleasant to see.

Not until I discovered Ready Wrap Freezer-Ready Containers that I purchased from Uratex Philipppines Retail Showroom in Miller Street, Quezon City. Having these containers was life changing!

I've been using Ready Wrap Freezer-Ready Containers for almost four months and I'm so satisfied and pleased with what they can do for my family.

The following are the reasons why I really, really like them and consider them as one of the best kitchen products that I've had!

- They don't become brittle upon usage.

- They can be used for storing anything aside from food.

My crafting materials are currently stored in blue, red, green, and purple Ready Wrap Freezer Containers! Yes, you read it right! They are freezer containers but they are so versatile, durable, easy to clean and stack-up that I can use them in different ways.

Papa and Kuya's visit at Uratex Philippines Premium Mattress Gallery in Ronac Art Center, Ortigas Avenue, Greenhills, San Juan City, led them to feast with their senses on its latest product line, SIXINCH.

SIXINCH is a foam powerhouse founded in Belgium in 2003 by Pieter Jamart and Michel Sels. They believe that foam can be used to develop creative and functional designs to bring zest and extraordinary look in the conventional office, home, and other spaces aside from using it to make sofas and mattresses.

The name SIXINCH is derived from the six inches trapped between our ears, where lies the capacity of the brain to unleash its capability to create an innovative and functional work space that is beyond our imagination.

Mr. Bigboy Cheng, owner and curator of SIXINCH Philippines, Inc. aims to bring to the Filipinos the comfort of foam technology combined with furniture artistry, creativity, and functionality.

Without further ado, let me show you the SIXINCH furniture line that my boys saw:

Foam technology and paints, both nude and bright colors, can make an ambience of simplicity and class to any space.

They can be used indoors and outdoors without the worry of absorbing water. They are low maintenance because they are waterproof and easy to clean. Wiping them with a damp cloth or washing them with soap and water is enough to keep them in good condition.

As you can see, they all look like pieces of heavy, solid, and bulky furniture but they are not. Even Kuya, who's only 11 years old, can lift and carry them all! These beauties are made from light high density foam and normal fabric and upholstery that becomes flexible, seamless, and  waterproof due to the application of a unique flexible coating. 

 

SIXINCH Philippines aims to  help clients express their creativity through unique furniture customization. They can mix and match pieces according to their taste and personality. The company is also tapping and encouraging Filipino designers to create unique pieces to bring the art of furniture-making in the country to the highest level.

I'm a mom preoccupied with so much things to do yet there's little time. I want all things to be covered as much as possible to avoid piling up of tasks because in the long run, I'm the one who's going to suffer. One of the things that I do is to find ways and means to make my job quick and easy to finish without hampering the quality of work and its outcome. For me, most of the tasks that are time consuming require CLEANING.

Purchasing different cleaning aids from detergents, soaps, bleaches, disinfectants, and sponges that do the work squeeky clean hastily is what I love to do.

One of the best purchases that I made at my recent Uratex Philippines Retail Showroom was the INOAC MAGIC SPONGE. I was impressed when I read the product job and description. I became more impressed when I tried and tested it that made me say to myself, "Bakit ngayon ka lang dumating sa buhay ko?"

Before I go further, here are some details about the INOAC MAGIC SPONGE:

In my opinion...

The mere fact that the INOAC MAGIC SPONGE cleans quickly and flawlessly makes me love it to bits! In less effortless strokes, our counter top, sink, and bathroom tiles and fixtures become free from deep seeded dirt, grout, and watermarks. With extra gentle strokes, it can literally remove stain from painted walls and porcelain. Using it is very economical because I don't need to increase the strength of my soap solution because the sponge itself can clean effectively with the aid of water only. One piece may be a little pricey but it's large and I can cut it to my desired size and keep the rest for future use. It goes a long way. It's easy to wash and dry too.I find cleaning more fun and easy with this sponge. It's perfect for super busy homemakers like me. I'm really so glad that I've purchased it. I save more time, energy, and money!

I've tried and tested so many sponges but INOAC MAGIC SPONGE is definitely my favorite! I highly recommend this and I'm going to bet my name on it! Promise, you're going to love it too!

It's easy to find because it's also available at the hardware section of major malls aside from all Uratex Philippines Retail Showrooms.

If you want to avail the INOAC MAGIC SPONGE at 20% OFF, just go to any Uratex Philippines Retail Showroom near you. Promo runs until December 31, 2015!
