Being beautiful and feeling beautiful can be as easy or as difficult as women can think of it. In as much as “beauty is in the eyes of the beholder”, I also believe that beauty is in the heart of the “beholdee” (I’m not sure if there’s a word like that, but you know what I mean). Although I can see that many women still perceive beauty as having that svelte body and pretty face, I believe that most of us had already gone past this superficiality.
As a mom of two young ladies, it is a challenge for me to teach them of the importance of having self-esteem which is not based in skin-deep beauty. I’ve always told them to look up to women who are intelligent and who make wise decisions, women who have self-respect and independent. Because of these, I’m happy to say that my two girls grow up valuing their studies and they choose friends who have the same aspirations. My husband and I always hope and pray that they continue to do so.
And what about me? When you stay at home most of the time, it’s very easy to neglect yourself, you know, forget to brush your hair, put some powder etcetera. Although I feel beautiful when I am in my elements ( being productive in my online work, keeping up with the laundry, having a clean home) I also want to be pretty in the sense that I look healthy, happy and presentable. It’s the kind of beauty that doesn’t need makeup.
Last September 13, I was invited to an event held at The Makati Shangri-la, where we were inspired to feel beautiful by having that inner kind of happiness. The speaker was the very beautiful former model Vivien Tan. At first I thought, it was very easy for her to teach about beauty because she is already beautiful but as the program progressed and as she showed how Funny Face Yoga is being done, I realized that she is talking about a different kind of beauty.
Funny Face Yoga is a different kind of facial exercise because it makes you flex all the muscles in your face in different ways. Vivien was still pretty while she did the Funny Yoga, cute actually, but I felt hilarious with myself as I imitated her.
There were 3 kinds of exercises when you do Funny Face Yoga:
1. Breathing Exercises
2. Kissing Exercises
3. Eye Exercises
You will see how the basics of the Funny Face Yoga through this video:
My co-mommies from Mommy Bloggers Philippines, we were given white robes, and nice pairs of espadrilles as we do the Facial Yoga routines.

Aside from Funny Face Yoga routines, the brand sponsor of the event SnowCaps showed the importance of taking care of ones’ self to achieve the healthy skin and physical well-being. Being beautiful may not mean having that perfect kind of shape of the body or face, but it involves being healthy deep within. It will be manifested in your skin, how it glows and in some women, through the hair. Sometimes, you’ll hear people talking about how a woman has this beautiful aura. For me, that means that the woman is happy, feels happy and beautiful.
It was fun being with my co-mommies from MBP. We all looked and felt pretty!
Snow Caps and Snow Soaps Gift Set
Snow Caps contains L glutathione from Kohjin Lifescience Tokyo Japan and it has 50% more glutathione content than any other expensive brands. Yes, its true because I checked the contents on the label with the popular glutathione brand I have at home. The Vitamin C content actually is more than what I take from my regular multivitamins. Glutathione is naturally produced by our liver but factors like aging, sun exposure, stress, heavy exercise, alcohol, cigarettes and pollution reduce our glutathione levels causing the skin to dry and darken. Snow Caps gives us our daily dose of glutathione, an antioxidant that promotes radiant looking skin while fighting off toxins and free radicals that are harmful to the skin and body.
I’ve been taking glutathione because of the Vitamin C, and the whitening effect is just secondary. I’m happy to learn that SnowCaps is more affordable and yet has more Glutathione content. I am taking one capsule every morning and I am excited how it will turn out.

I don’t know how to apply make-up so I need to look good even without make-up. hehehe! Nice, this one has Vit C na, other glutas does not contain Vit C. How much is Snow Caps?
Been reading good reviews about this and was almost convince to try.. let me think about it one more time 🙂 im still using another brand but this one is more affordable.. ihad injectables years back.. then i stopped and shifted to oral..
Oh that must have been a fun activity, doing funny face yoga with your mommy friends. I find it really intesting.
Parang this is the kind of yoga I can do! Haha!
I can do this yoga without a doubt! haha! I find yoga difficult kasi lalo na ung may mga pa-tumbling tumbling na! lol!
This is fun at hindi mo need umattend ng gym 🙂 Curious nga ako diyan sa Snowcaps, 🙂
I wanna do that kissing exercise. Lol. I’m becoming more curious with Snowcaps. I have seen ads on facebook and even pages about the product for a while already.
Oh my! Face yoga sounds so interesting! I have seen billboard ads for snowcaps, but haven’t really given thought on trying it. Will check their page out just to get to know more about them. 🙂
I’ll give this a try! Pero in private, baka isipin ng asawa ko kung ano na nangyayari sakin, haha!
I’ll try this Yoga nga. Do you have any idea how much is the Snowcap capsule?
This looks fun! And a lot more easier than the usual yoga. Ma try nga minsan 🙂
Oh I want to try this funny face yoga especially as I haven’t gotten around to starting yoga which I have long wanted to.
This looks so cute! I actually believe in exercising the facial muscles to keep them fit and healthy but it’s the first time I’m hearing about face yoga!
Cute naman ng funny face yoga. Yoga of the face. Why not? 🙂
Funny face yoga is something new for me! I’ve heard of another form of yoga exercise, I forgot the exact term pero it has something to do with laughing. Akala ko ganun rin ito. Hihi. This is so nice naman plus may take home pa kayo from SnowCaps. You know, i’m not a fan of glutha, feeling ko pang-artista lang yun. Haha! Pero sabi nga nila maganda daw ang health benefits din nito. I’m curious tuloy. I might go read about it next time.
I’ve always known of the benefits of facial exercise but this is the first time I’m hearing about funny face yoga. Sounds fun! I have no doubt you guys enjoyed it. 🙂
I didn’t know that there’s a yoga like this. Looking forward to trying this soon.
Haha I actually tried it and I’m imagining I looked so funny. Good thing no one was there to notice it ahaha!
It surely was a nice event. Sometimes, with the so many problems around, the best way to cope up is smile and laugh.
I heard about Snow Caps from my colleagues. They said that it’s really effective. Hmm, I’ll better tell my partner because he’s more into whitening products. Hehehe
Funny face yoga seems fun- literally. I do yoga at home and there are facial yoga also. I just follow what’s on YT. 🙂
This looks fun.. hope i can experience this
Ang kulit, pati face may yoga na din. This will be a lot of help for us moms especially to be relax. At para goodbye na din sa mga wrinkles!
I like the fan lol, it’s big and nice kaya masaya pag mainit.
That was fun! Happy for you, Mommies!
Love the fan! 🙂 This is great for mums kasi it’s so true that we hardly look at ourselves in the mirror sometimes. Great workout for our faces.
Ang cute naman ng Funny Face Yoga and I love the fan!!
I now believe it’s a good product kasi hiyang sayo, you always look blooming. 🙂
Ang saya! Hahahaha! I love the funny face yoga! It would really make you feel relax.
Hihi, I tried the kissing exercise and I love it! My kids thought I wanted kisses so they started planting kisses on me.
