The use of electronic cigarettes has surged worldwide over the past decade, with the global market valued at US$10.3B in 2018 and expected to grow at a CAGR of 24.9% from 2019 to 2025 per multiple reports.
Though there are several major players in the vaping industry, most of them owned by tobacco companies, one recent independent entrant, RELX Technology – pronounced “relax” – has stood out from the competition.
Origins: Female entrepreneurship and concern for family and friends
Founded by ex-Uber China Head Kate Wang in January 2018, RELX Technology’s products have experienced tremendous success with adult smokers globally, catapulting it to the position of the leading closed-system e-cigarette brand in Asia. Motivated by her father’s lifelong struggle to quit cigarettes and the lack of suitable new generation products in the market, Wang took it upon herself to start a company that prioritizes innovation, safety, and product quality.
An independent e-cigarette brand that works ethically
With a mission to empower adult smokers through advanced technology and user-friendly design without sacrificing ethics, RELX Technology’s core business encompasses independent R&D, product design and development, and sales. From its inception, RELX Technology has conceptualized and put into effect its ‘Guardian Program’ - a company-wide initiative that stretches from product development to sales, ensuring that the company puts the necessary effort in preventing and discouraging the use of e-cigarettes by minors, whether this be through concerted efforts with retailers to step up on-site identification of purchasers, or launching facial-recognition vending machines in China that dispense products only to adults against their national ID cards.
Cutting-edge R&D that focuses on problems faced by adult smokers wishing to quit cigarettes
In an industry focused on top-line growth, RELX Technology has invested millions of dollars into building its own facilities and operates the first CNAS-certified lab owned by an independent vape brand. RELX Technology also holds more than 20 international patents on its groundbreaking innovations in e-cigarette technology, all geared towards improving safety, quality, and user experience that helps smokers quit cigarettes more efficiently. Its products such as the RELX Alpha and RELX include a haptic feedback feature called SmartPace, which vibrates to let users know when they should stop vaping and put down their devices. RELX Tech’s latest product, a smart e-cigarette called RELX i, connects to the companion smartphone app that features in-depth usage statistics and a child lock that prevents unauthorized use.
RELX Technology brings its advanced e-cigarette products to the Philippines
RELX is now available in the Philippines through its physical stores and online partners such as Lazada and Shoppee. The RELX starter kits are available in the variants of Classic Black, Rose Gold. Space Gray, Navy Blue, Red, and Turquoise and just recently they have released the Celestial series, which features the stunning variants of Sunset Glow, Solar Eclipse, and Mystic Aurora. RELX also has a wide range of pod flavors such as Mango, Lemon Tea, Blueberry, Grapefruit, Ludou Ice, Fresh Cucumber, Mint, Classic Tobacco, Banana, Greentea, Peach Oolong, and Icy Slush. All RELX starter kits come with 1 vape electronic cigarette, charger, and 1 pod priced at Php 1,599.00

Filipinos all love to eat! No wonder that there are a lot of great places to dine. But nowadays, we don’t just look for good food, we also keep in mind if it’s a good place to chill or if it’s Instagram-worthy too!
There’s no reason to deny that one of my favorite subjects in my Instagram posts is food! Food is just one of the best thing ever discovered & created that everyone can even relate to it. Every photo shares a story so better capture the good ones!
I’m going to share with you guys some tips, on how do I achieve great photos that are really Instagram-worthy!
1.) FIND THE PERFECT LIGHTING!
One of the best ways to take awesome and clear photos is using natural light! It’s been tried and tested and nothing can beat its power! Just go near a window and voila!
2.) ACE THAT FLATLAY SHOT!
Flatlay-ing (if there’s such a word) is one of the basic Instagrammer skills, and everyone can master it right away. There are two things that you could do during flatlay-ing, it’s either you go minimalistic, or you go creatively.
When you go minimalistic, you remove all distractions or put a little touch of something and just focus on the food, while when you go creative, this is when your skills are tested. You can use human elements, tools and other things that are essential and connected to the subject.
3.) SHOOT FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES
If you are not quite the type of flatlay-ing master, you can still take awesome of photos by choosing the right angle for it.
4.) FOCUS ON THE DETAILS
Getting the feels of the food on photos is what makes it better. Focus on the parts of the food, or shoot a little closer to get a glimpse of its texture and elements.
And of course, taking the best food photos would not be possible if you don’t have your trusty camera or beloved phone. If you are the spontaneous type, bringing a camera can be a hassle, but don’t worry, smartphones nowadays take photos like a pro! With the all new Oppo F5!
With its 16MP back camera with an aperture of 1.8, you can take the perfect food shots during the day and even in the night!You can also take beautiful selfies or timed photos with your food by using its 20MP A.I. beauty front camera! Put your best face forward by relying on the unique facial feature optimization technology. With more than 200 positioning spots, the F5 accentuates your facial landmarks and contours to enhance the symmetry between features like your eyes, nose, cheekbones, and jawline to create the perfectly refined and natural selfie. Its beauty-iris tool ensures that your eyes will shine brighter in any photo.
Need to shoot in a snap? No problem! Oppo F5 is equipped with 4GB RAM and Octa Core processor, with this, nothing can ever stop you from taking snaps of your fave food!

At the end of the day, our tummies and eyes were full and that’s what really matters! Happy eating and shooting with your food!

DA MIOR Cleansing Soap (Bamboo Leaf) 100g
₱1,040.00 (★★★★★)
WHAT IT CLAIMS: DA MIOR soap is aged for 45 days before being delivered to their valued customers. From production to packaging, the entire process is handmade done by their professional artisans. This soap hydrates and soothes the skin.
MADE UP OF: Bamboo Leaf, Bamboo Extract, Mung Bean, Propolis Extract, Olive Oil (Extra Virgin), Grape Seed Oil, Coconut Oil, & Shea Butter
DJEM’S VERDICT: It did work! Since I hit the teenage years, my face became really sensitive. So, I seldom try cleansing soaps. But this one is really good. After using it for one week, the little bumps on my face are starting to go away. And after a month, the bumps are gone and my face is now smooth! Everyone with a sensitive skin should try this one out.
WHAT IT CLAIMS: Moist calming toner that helps pH balance and fresh finish. It’s natural ingredients like lychee soothes the skin, and seawater strengthens the skin barrier. It’s a mild toner that completed dermatology and allergic test.
DJEM’S VERDICT: So far this toner is the best from others. This toner is just like water! It’s not strong, it balances the oil and water content of skin, and moisturizes too! No more words, I just love this toner!
WHAT IT CLAIMS: Balances skin’s moisture for fast recovery. Its Hydrocolloid patch protects damaged skin and helps regenerates skin scars.
MADE UP OF: Samchul Extract & Hydrocolloid Dressings
DJEM’S VERDICT: Because of sleepless nights and unhealthy eating habits, I earned some zits. And this patches saved my life! Just put it overnight on a zit and voila! A pimple subsides the next day and adheres really well.
WHAT IT CLAIMS: It smoothes out your troubled, blemished, and acne skin while sleeping. Also aids in maintaining a clear skin tone, it gently removes dead skin cells and helps protect your skin.
DJEM’S VERDICT: The first time that I saw this thing, I was like “What is this thing? It looks weird!”. So your girl went searching the internet to find out how this one works. Fortunately, I saw some instructions and found out that it is indeed a weird product. Here’s how you use it: First, you shouldn’t shake the bottle, if so, don’t use it yet. Second, let the pinkish particles subside before using it. Third, scoop out some of the pinkish parts with the use of a cotton bud. And lastly, apply it onto the skin (to pimples, etc.), and let it sit overnight. And when you wake up, tadaahhh! Your pimples are now dry! It immediately works with small zits, and it takes longer to have an effect on bigger ones. This is one of my holy grails (the other is the pimple patch) when I have bumps sitting on my face. I highly suggest you try this out!
WHAT IT CLAIMS: This soothing sleeping mask helps lighten scars and even out skin texture without irritating the skin. Improves the skin's protective barrier & health, and gives comfort to the mind as well as to your skin when applied.
DJEM’S VERDICT: I did not enjoy this mask at all. When I used it, nothing has changed. Although, it’s ingredients are great for your skin, it looks like that it doesn’t work for me. So yeah.

I personally love this box ‘cause it’s really worth it and all products are very useful and you can use them for a long time (‘cause the product sizes are really big). Now, you can face the world with a glowing and smooth skin!
It’s really hard to find what suits your skin. Believe me, been there and still there.
Up to this day, I am searching for the best products that will work for me. From hair care, skin care, and make-up products, name it and let me try it. In lieu with that, sometimes I tend to pay for some products that don’t work out on me. And who wants to pay for things that you can’t even use again because you’ll just have an acne breakout or allergies? No one, right?
And thank heavens that I stumbled upon Sample Room’s Instagram page. Sample Room is the first ever beauty, health, and lifestyle digital sampling and review website in the Philippines! It combines the service of sampling and digital marketing campaigns. Through Sample Room, I can get samples of products that I want to give a chance and the good thing? The products are free, and I just need to register, and pay the shipping and handling fee! What’s even better is that, as I try out some products, I will earn points whenever I post a review of a product, that I can use again to avail samples. And the best part? Sample Room rewards its active members with prizes, a chance to be featured as their “Roommate of the Month”, and be invited to their events as a VIP guest. But, there’s still more! They also have exciting contests with amazing prizes where roommates (it’s what they call their members) can join! Too good to be true? Well, it’s not! Lemme share you my experience with them for this year.
It’s almost a year since I’ve been a roommate and I can still remember the first package that I received from Sample Room. It was the Pantene’s Summer Rescue Shampoo and Conditioner! (You can read my review about it here) It also came with a cute tote bag, perfect for the beach!
And, I was impressed on how they put effort on the packaging and managed to give me a freebie, even though it’s already free. What more can you ask for?
Then, it was followed by Belo’s BB Body Cream.
It came in a cute paper bag. This one is for instant flawless arms and legs!
Little did I knew that this product will give luck to me! Just like what I’ve mentioned earlier, they conduct contests, and because I wanted to try my luck, I joined in their #FlawlessInAFlash Instagram Contest. Luckily, I was one of the three winners!!!
Here’s all that I’ve got! (Though I haven’t used the gift certificate yet)
Honestly, there was a lot of creative entries but I didn’t lose hope. I believed in myself. In fact, my entry doesn’t have the most views, and comments, but hey, I won! It simply means that with strong will and hard work (because it took us like more than ten times to shoot the spraying thingy), it makes the dream work!
The last one was a Whisper box. (Of course, the packaging was cute again!)
It contains one pack each of Whisper’s Cottony Clean and Cottony XX Long 36cm. Where I won’t worry throughout the day, and can proudly say “#AllDayNoCheck!”. And achieve my #SleepGoals with it’s extended pads.
To sum it up, coming across Sample Room was one of the best things that happened to me this year. First, it saved me a lot of time and money from impulsively buying products that I want to try. As a student, spending was one of my major problems. You know, you need to maximize your allowance. Second, it taught me to believe in myself and be myself. Through their contests, I can express my thoughts, and show off my skills. I would also like to thank them for appreciating my effort in my entry. This really boosted my self-confidence. Lastly, I got to know some roommates and made friends with them!
So, if you’re doubting about spending your dime on a product, head to Sample Room and #TryBeforeYouBuy!
Christmas is around the corner, and people are starting to shop gifts for their loved ones, buy ingredients for their Noche Buena and travel for them to relax. But what I love about this time of the year is giving gifts and of course receiving some too..
Last week, I received a Sodexo Gift Certificate from a friend. She gave it to me because she has a lot of it and she also mentioned that these Sodexo GCs are forever! Yes, you read that right! It will be always valid, and if it reached it’s validity, the revalidation and replacement of it are free of charge for once. Pretty impressive, no?
Anyway, back to our topic, my friend who gave me the gift certificate, was sharing her blessings. This may count as my Christmas gift from her too. Thank you, friend! (We all need a friend like this, really!) But there’s one problem, she gave it at a wrong time. The week before she handed it to me, I already did my Christmas shopping. So I came up with an idea!
Today, I’ll let my boyfriend shop! My boyfriend and I are going strong for two (2) years. We love going to places, and trying out new food. He is just the best (I know, all girls with boyfriends can agree, right?). He is very understanding, caring and protective. He’s also patient when I go shopping, and now, it’s my time to treat him! Sodexo has tied up with over 10,000 partner merchants all over the Philippines so I won’t be having a hard time thinking where should I use it. (Click here to see list of partner merchants)
It was 5pm when he fetched me at my place. He has no idea of what will happen today. I just told him that we’re going to the mall. It was usual, he thought that I’ll be shopping again and we’ll eat after. When we arrived at the mall, we went inside of my favourite stores, and after some time, I went inside his favourite shop. I went inside Bench and tried to look around.
I saw him looking at some tees and asked him if he was going to buy those, and he said yes. “Let me pay for those”, I replied and handed him the gift certificate. He was shocked (Too bad, I didn’t get a photo of him). And I insisted that he should use the Sodexo Gift Certificate and I’ll be disappointed if he’ll refuse.
At the end, he used it and he was the happiest. After shopping, we ate dinner and went home. I’m really happy because I saw him smile. That’s the best part!
And for couples out there like us, who are still studying, it doesn’t mean that we, girls, always let the guy pay for everything. Because, in fact, most of us are still depending on our parents. The money that we have, came from our parents. So, to be practical, we need to have the initiative to pay sometimes, or insist to split the bill (Don’t get me wrong, but this is just my opinion about having a relationship while studying).
In the future, I’m planning to give some Sodexo Gift Certificates to my friends as a gift on their birthday or if ever I receive some again, I would love to treat my family to a restaurant and shop some clothes and shoes for them. My own way of saying thank you, and showing how much I appreciate and love them.
For people out there who is still clueless about what they should give this Christmas to their friends and family, Sodexo Gift Certificates are to the rescue! No more worrying what to buy or if will they like it because you’ll let them choose what they want! Less hassle, more smiles! (Click here to learn more about Sodexo Gift Certificates)

If you guys have suggestions for my next review, just comment what brand you want me to try.
Since my mom was a coffee person, I started to like coffee at the age of 9, but I became during my 1st year college days. You know, late nights that I need to do my projects, research, reports, and exams, where coffee became my best friend.
As time passes by, I am continuously gaining weight because of stress eating and I became very conscious of it. So, I tried a lot of slimming coffees out there and some didn’t really work out. Skinny Coffee Club came out of the blue, so hey, why not try it too.
I got myself a 28 Day Weight Loss Program that costs £24.95. It took around 3 weeks to arrive at my doorstep. So before you drink this baby, you should pour hot water into your mug and 1 teaspoon of coffee into a French press and let it infuse for 3-5 minutes. It is not recommended to drink it with milk and sugar but you add coconut milk or almond milk accompanied by Stevia as a sweetener.
WHAT IT CLAIMS: Aims to raise your metabolism, burn fat, fill you with energy throughout the day and leave you feeling fuller for longer.
MADE UP OF: Organic and formulated with highly sought after ingredients each sourced and selected for their unique properties.
DJEM’S VERDICT: I’m not going to sugar coat anything here so yeah. This coffee is one of the least coffee that I don’t like. First of all, it is a hassle to make. You need a French press or whatsoever, and infuse it for minutes before you can even drink it. And lastly, it didn’t work out for me. After 28 days of drinking this, nothing happened. I didn’t lose weight. But, there’s one thing that I can recommend about this coffee is that it really upsets your appetite. And that’s it! Maybe it just didn’t work out for me. So yeah.
P.S. I’m giving this a second shot with exercise and a strict diet. Will update you soon, guys!

Then here’s a quick info about them. Nu Skin began pioneering the concept of premium quality products and a uniquely compelling global business opportunity. Distinguished by its ability to demonstrate that they really have the best people, product, culture, and opportunity in the direct sales, skin care, and wellness industries. Nu Skin sets the standard for being a premier anti-aging company.
I tried three of their products, so if you wanna know my thoughts about them, just keep scrolling!
1.) SCION® ROLL ON DEODORANT PH BALANCED FOR WOMEN 60ml
₱270.00 (★★★★★)
WHAT IT CLAIMS: An underarm whitening roll-on deodorant that provides 24-Hour protection against bacterial growth and perspiration which can cause body odor. pH Balanced, especially formulated for women
DJEM’S VERDICT: This deodorant is great! It really controls underarm perspiration for a day! I tried it for a week, and no other not-so-good experiences. For me, so far, so good. No yellow stains when you wear it with a white shirt. And the best part? It didn’t make my armpits darker! I guess, if I continue to use it, maybe, it will lighten my underarms.
WHAT IT CLAIMS: Brightens and whitens teeth. AP-24® Whitening Fluoride Toothpaste lightens teeth without peroxide while preventing cavities and plaque formation. This gentle, vanilla mint formula freshens breath and provides a clean, just-brushed feeling that lasts all day.
DJEM’S VERDICT: I love this toothpaste! It’s the classic white fluoride toothpaste but better! After with just one use, you can literally see the difference with the colour of your teeth. I mean, not very obvious, but you can see it. Do you get me? Hehehe. So yeah, another thing that I love about this thing is the flavour. It doesn’t have that too much menthol or what but still keeps your mouth cool.
WHAT IT CLAIMS: A mild vaginal wash that cleanses and provides a refreshing feeling. Scion Feminine Wash pH Balanced maintains the natural acidic pH level and maintains a normal environment. It is soap free, with a pH level of 3.5
DJEM’S VERDICT: The thing that I’m obsessing about this feminine wash is it has no cooling effect, which I think is weird. So yeah, it feels very light that if it doesn’t produce bubbles, you can’t even tell that you’re using a liquid wash on your private area and that’s a good thing! So if you like a subtle wash, then this one is for you.
