Is your home clean and safe this holiday season?

 


Create a Pine-tastic, worry-free Christmas at home with Pine-Sol Original


Last year, the pandemic stole our Christmas as if the COVID-19 virus was the Grinch. But this year, due to people’s continued compliance with safety protocols, as well as the ongoing rollout of the nationwide vaccination program, quarantine restrictions have now been less stringent, especially since health authorities record a lower number of COVID-19 cases every day.

While everything is, in a way, now slowly going back to normal, with the holiday season just around the corner, welcoming Christmas guests is inevitable. And yes, it does not mean that we need to let our guards down since the sickness-causing virus still lurks around.

Aside from continuously following health protocols, what more can you do to ensure that your home remains free from the harmful COVID-19? Here are some tips as listed by Pine-Sol, a trusted cleaner for the home since 1929, to keep your home safe and clean so you can have a merry, worry-free, and Pine-tastic Christmas this season.

Start to declutter
Admit it. There’s nothing that feels homier whenever you see your house organized—no dirty dishes in the kitchen, no traces of shoe dirt on your walkway, no dirty laundry on the floor, and no random food wrappers sitting under the sofa.

So, unleash your inner Marie Kondo, and start tidying your space as the first step to make your home clean. Also, be sure to throw away the garbage. Remember, less mess, less stress.

Wipe down your home
Regularly cleaning your home after welcoming guests reduces the risk of spreading the virus. So, with a mixture of water and Pine-Sol Original, the No.1 pine-scented dilutable cleaner, always remember to clean the places your guests' visit at your home.

As it has no rinsing requirement except for rubber or asphalt tile, you can just wipe down your entryway, floors, tables, kitchen countertops, bathrooms, doorknobs, windows, and other high-touch surfaces. And while it powerfully cleans your home and is safe on surfaces, it also deodorizes terrible odors and gives you a fresh and longer-lasting pine fragrance to enjoy this Christmas season.

Always disinfect
Isn’t cleaning the same as disinfecting? For the books, cleaning uses a mixture of water and soap for surface dirt and impurities, while disinfecting uses products to kill germs and viruses.

We don’t want our home to be the mutation ground of bacteria and viruses that cause infectious diseases, like the COVID-19 virus. That is why it is also necessary to disinfect your spaces thoroughly by using Pine-Sol Original to kill viruses on high-touch or exposed surfaces.

With the power to kill 99.9% of germs, including the COVID-19 virus, pour a concentrated portion of Pine-Sol Original in a sponge or cloth and wipe it on a wet surface. To effectively disinfect and help control the spread of the coronavirus, let it remain for 10 minutes on hard and nonporous surfaces, such as finished hardwood, cement, ceramic tiles, glass, plastic, carpet, linoleum, and granite, then wash it off.

“This holiday season, we at Clorox want to make sure that everyone is safe from the COVID-19 virus. Even if the country is slowly going back to normal, we must protect our loved ones from sickness. That’s why it’s important always to keep our home safe and clean so everyone can have a merry and worry-free Christmas,” said Monique Gonzalez, Marketing Manager for Clorox Southeast Asia.

Is your home really safe for you and your family?


Clorox campaigns for better home hygiene amidst a rise in local transmission


As the country’s major cities prepare to ease alert levels, people are expected to go out and converge more as opposed to the last few months, making everyone forget that the pandemic is very much around and won’t go away anytime soon.

The Philippines' Covid-19 numbers have improved in the Metro Manila region and the transmission of the disease has slowed. According to OCTA Research, the latest reproduction number for the region, which refers to the number of persons an infected person can transfer the virus to, was at 0.99, down from 1.03.

While the Health Department indicated a decline in the number of Covid-19 cases as evidenced by the decreasing hospital admissions, it still urges the public to remain vigilant as a surge can still happen.

“Even though infection cases are on the downtrend, we enjoin the public to be vigilant since there is still the presence of the highly transmissible Delta variant. While regular handwashing and sanitizing are both important in preventing the spreading of the virus, it keeping the surfaces we touch disinfected is just as important,” said Monique Gonzales, senior brand manager for Clorox Southeast Asia. “However, what we sometimes don’t realize is that we can be the ones who bring this virus into our homes so it is important to always disinfect the items in our homes we come in contact with.”


However, there are steps you can take at home to ensure the safety of your family.

Clorox Philippines, one of the country’s leading cleaning and disinfecting products providers and makers of Clorox Expert Wipes shares some home safety tips to help keep you and your family safe and your home Covid-free.


Wipe down surfaces often
We touch a lot of surfaces when we go out picking up germs along the way. We bring these pathogens into our homes. Taking the time to wipe down your door handle, the groceries you bring home and any surface you touch will keep it germ-free and your family safe. Keeping a pack of Clorox Expert Wipes handy at all times will ensure that you and your family are always safe and protected.


Clean all your carry-ons
Your carry-ons such as your handbags, laptops, and mobile phones are perfect places for germs and microbes to settle onto. When arriving home, give your bags, phone, keys, jewelry and laptops a good wipe down. Preferably, use a disinfectant wipe to make sure that your personal items are safe.


Change your clothes immediately
The clothes you wear are magnets for viruses and germs. Every time you sit at a restaurant, go to the grocery or go to the office, your clothes can pick up these germs and you in turn, can bring in these unwanted guests into your home. To avoid this, make sure that you put away all the clothes you wore in a clothes hamper. If you can soak it immediately in a mixture of bleach and water to kill the germs.


Take a bath as soon as you get home
Aside from your clothes, you are also a germ magnet. Germs and other pathogens can land on your skin and hair and you can, in turn, get these unwanted visitors all over your sofa, dining table, and bed. So, when arriving home from work or an errand, make sure you take a bath right away. That way, you can give your family all the affection they deserve without any worries.

“We at Clorox are one with the government in ensuring that Filipinos stay safe in the midst of this pandemic. We enjoin everyone to keep promoting a hygienic and safer by regularly cleaning and disinfecting our surroundings,” Paulo Lao, Sales and Marketing Director for Clorox Southeast Asia.


Following these simple tips can help us not only stay safe and healthy but help us better cope with the challenges posed by the pandemic.

Just Hold On



If there's a personal thing that I wanna share in this blog is that I am happy to share with you guys that I am now a student-mom. So much realization this year that I decide to enroll again. I believe that it's not late to reach for my dreams. life is not a race. Sometimes our journey is far from what we are expected but hey at least we are trying on the right path and it's not late for everything no matter the age you are now just like me. What made me decide was my kids are growing fast and I felt any moment from now they'll leave the house and maybe this is the right time for me. To think back on what I want in life, my dreams.


Aside from being a student-mom, I do the usual things that I love to do like shopping online, and I found this perfect store that matches my mood hbcu varsity jackets lot of varsity jacket collections to choose. In every LegacyHistoryPride™ sale, a portion of the proceeds specifically benefits the College or University through their Licensing Agreements.


Everything changes, our plans changed in every situation but it is always for the good. Whatever your life may be right now, there's always a sun that will shine any moment. So, hold on and keep on dreaming.

Hitting “Reset”: Digging Yourself Out of Your Lowest Ebb




Everybody feels that they hit a low point on occasion. Perhaps the abundance of parental stress means that you raise your voice at your child or you are telling yourself you must try harder. But this is where we have to remember when we are hitting a low point from our perspective, that we learn from life’s many lessons. Here are some things to think about if you feel you are at a low point.


Help Is Not a Bad Thing
Help is one of those things that so many people feel they shouldn't ask for; that they have to dig themselves out of their hole themselves because this will make them feel that they have achieved something more. But help is not a sign that you are reaching for handouts but it's that you have the courage to admit that you need extra insights. There are so many professional approaches that can help. In terms of addiction, there are infinite resources, some of which you can find on https://www.sunshinebehavioralhealth.com/texas/lubbock/. But help is one of the things that will give you the step-up you need after your lowest points. If someone offers something, it's not going to make your life easier, but it's going to give you a different perspective of the situation.


Take it One Day at a Time
When you are in a horrible place, you've got to focus on one action and take small steps. Because if you start to think about the bigger picture, this is going to overwhelm and this is where stress becomes the default setting. Breaking it down to finite components, for example, doing your morning routine will help you to focus on what is happening right now. You can't change what's happened in the past and you cannot predict the future, but you can focus on what is going on right now.


Accept the Circumstances
You need to remember that when you are in a difficult time, improving your conditions and minimizing pain is about accepting what is going on. It's not easy to do but you can practice acceptance. There is a handy little guide on https://tinybuddha.com/blog/3-steps-to-practice-acceptance-have-a-peaceful-life/ to get you started. You cannot make progress if you do not accept the situation or the circumstances. Someone going through a separation or a divorce can put their head in the sand, but while it may take some time to accept that there will be changes to your life arising from this situation, you can stop blaming and deflecting, and focus on healing.



Starting from Scratch
Starting from scratch is not a bad thing. We all feel we've built up a certain life for ourselves and we fight to keep it. But sometimes we are living a false existence with values that do not align with who we really are. Sometimes the big things in life give us the stark message that we need to start over, whether it’s divorce, the death of a loved one, or losing your job, the reality is that hitting your lowest point can be the best way to hit the reset button.

How to Spot a Malag-KATE in 5 Easy Steps

The name “Kate” has been making rounds online with celebrities even revealing that they’ve been called this name before. If you have missed out on who Kate is, she’s the type of girl you have probably encountered before. You’ve encountered her online, at social events, and you might be a Kate too!

Kate is like any other girl who’s on the lookout for products that can keep their hair well-maintained. As she settles with shampoos and conditioners that she thinks are best for her, it transforms her into malag-KATE. Her once smooth and straight hair has now turned oily and greasy. Does this sound familiar? Are you a malag-KATE as well? Here are the 5 signed to look out for a malag-KATE.

Is your hair oily?
Having oily hair can happen to anyone but it’s different when it is caused by the hair products you use. When you use the right hair care products, your scalp should normally produce natural oils. It’s when your shampoo isn’t effective in removing excess oil and built-up debris, or when your conditioner clogs up your strands. This is when your hair and scalp get oilier than usual.

Does it feel sticky?
Feel each strand of your hair. Is it sticky? Hair that’s clean and smooth should not feel like they’re clinging to each other. Sticky strands could be a result of too much product or residue from your hair conditioner. Some conditioners can feel heavy on the hair even when washed thoroughly making you feel like a malag-KATE.

Wet look or is it greasy?

The ongoing trend of wet looks can be quite confusing especially if your hair looks greasy. Rocking a greasy look may look cool in photos but it can also turn some heads when it happens even after you wash your hair. Over-conditioning or built-up products can cause your hair to look greasy over time.

Frizzy when it’s not supposed to be
Choosing hair products can lead you to incredible-looking hair or being a malag-KATE. Sometimes, the weather and humid conditions can be blamed for frizz but if your hair sticks out all the time it may be because of the products you use.

If you’ve experienced all these signs, you or someone you might know maybe a malag-KATE. Fear not, because it’s just a phase! Anyone can experience being a malag-KATE, but you can look forward to always being Salontastic with Pantene.

Do you feel Salontastic?
Your hair speaks volumes about the products that you choose to provide it the TLC it needs. When you don’t feel confident and Salontastic, it’s time to make the switch to haircare products that can give your hair the salon-like results that it deserves.

Don’t Be malag-KATE, Be Salontastic

Manage frizzy, stubborn, and brittle hair with the 3 Minute Miracle Keratin Smooth Conditioner that gives your hair the ultra-rich moisture it deserves to achieve that Keratin-smooth hair you've been dreaming of.
