Although it has been more than 4 months (and counting!) since the typhoons, Ondoy and Peping, struck the Philippines, the online auction shop of artists Anne Curtis, et al continues to gather funds for the rehabilitation of those whose homes were destroyed and whose lives were forever changed by the typhoons.

Anne is supported by her friends Angel Locsin, Dimples Romana, Shaina Magdayao, Judy Ann Santos, and other showbiz stars in this philanthropic endeavor. They have donated some of their branded bags, shows, belts, jackets, pants, dresses, and others for auction.

The site, www.shopandshare.ph, is connected with an eBay store of the same name. All items are displayed both at the website and the eBay shop, but bidders can only bid at eBay. This is why they are required to be eBay members and to have Paypal accounts. The bids are in dollars, not in pesos, considering that the items are branded, such a Fendi bag or a pair of Gucci shoes.

Most of the bidders come from abroad, but local bidders are also very much welcome. All proceeds of the auction will go to NGOs, such as the Philippine Red Cross and Abs-CBN's Sagip Kapamilya, that take care of distributing the donations to those who needed them.

For those who are not interested in buying anything from the site can choose to directly send their donations through Paypal, Xoom or a bank-to-bank transfer through BDO Unibank.

Skin Care Benefits of Using Sulfur Soap

A sample of sulfur (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Despite its acrid smell, a bar of sulfur soap brings many health benefits to your skin through its antiseptic, anti-fungal and antibacterial qualities. In olden times, individuals had to take a dip in sulfur-rich hot springs located at a distance from an active volcano. Spas often appeared around these areas to provide patrons privacy and comfort while they visited the pools of heated water and sulfur. Many people frequented these places because the hot water therapy soothed their aching muscles and the sulfur healed their skin problems, such as acne vulgaris, whiteheads, blackheads, eczema, rosacea, scabies, and seborrheic dermatitis. Now, sulfur's cleansing properties are packaged neatly in soap bars. The ten percent sulfur content in the soap has enough potency to effectively produce the same effective results as dipping your whole body in a pool of sulfur-rich hot water. Like in the ancient times, use sulfur soaps to reme...

How Do You Treat Scalp Acne and Scalp Dermatitis?

A case of Seborrhoeic Dermatitis on the back of the head (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) If you suffer from pimples on the scalp, then it's important to find a good scalp acne treatment. They're ugly, painful, and irritating. We can't see them ourselves so we pick them often by scratching our scalp before knowing they're there. Scalp wounds tend to bleed and this can make the spots visible, especially if your hair is thinning, fine or very short. Most acne on the scalp has the same cause as acne on the face, that is, overproduction of sebum leading to blockages of hair follicles, which often become infected. Inflammation can be caused by a condition called seborrheic dermatitis , and this, together with oily skin, is what you have to go along with scalp acne. What happens is the scalp will be red and itchy and the skin will flake off as dandruff. Associated with the condition of seborrheic dermatitis and more serious cases is yeast and it's someti...

A brief vacation

I have just got back from UP Diliman for a week of respite. I had training for trainers at UP SoLaIR (School of Labor and Industrial Relations). It was a working vacation. At least I had time to slow down and not think of work for a few days. It was good! Really felt good to be taken cared of by the University Hotel staff.
