Reyane's Online Shoppe is back with Human Heart♥ Nature!

Happy February 20, 2011!

Today is the day that I re-launch my online shoppe Reyane Haven! I started this shoppe May 2009 wherein I opened offering pre-loved products, bargain finds and brand-new affordable bags. It was a hit! most of my products sold. However, I changed my career / day job that required me to adjust. I became hectic and somewhere along I was not able to update products and the online shoppe became stagnant.

So many exciting changes happened to me since the start of the year and I'm counting on my luck, my inspirations and my determination to succeed in this year of the rabbit 2011.

Allow me to introduce one of my projects and challenge this year. REYANE'S ONLINE SHOPPE is now in Facebook! Please like my page and receive updates on new and awesome products that I will be adding to the shoppe this year.

My goal is to bring to you a choice of the nicest products and bargain finds in the comfort of your home and time. Please check my photo albums. You might be interested with the awesome products I offer. Happy shopping!

Products that I am selling on my online shoppe are from, Human Heart♥ Nature. 

My passion to be a dealer of Human Heart♥ Nature began when one of my pregnant best friend asked me if I know some organic products she can use. She started living healthy when she decided to get pregnant. As we know, some of the toiletries that we daily use are made of harmful chemicals. My friend wanted something that will not only keep her and her baby safe from harmful chemicals but also protect the environment. We  both support this advocacy. Another officemate introduced me to Human Heart♥ Nature. She brought some sample products and I fell in love instantly with their luxury body scrub and body butter. The next day I dragged my Sweetypie♥ to Gandang Kalikasan Inc.'s head office to sign up as a dealer. I fell in love with the store and their products. Aside from the fact that they are 100% No Harmful Chemicals, the products are Philippine made and supports Gawad Kalinga. It is also note worthy that GKI's staff are approachable and kind. I left with a loot bag of products that I can't wait to share with my friends.

I will be uploading more awesome products meanwhile please click on this link and LIKE my page. It would be a great favor too if you would check and consider using the organic products in my albums.

Happy February 20!

Should you fear the BLACK MAMBA?

Who is The Black Mamba? 

The Black Mamba, starring Kobe Bryant, Kanye West, Bruce Willis, Danny Trejo is a Nike Basketball production, directed by Robert Rodriguez. This film brings Kobe's alter ego, the Black Mamba to life in a way that's never been seen before!

The Black Mamba highlights Kobe's everyday determination and "fight to the finish" spirit. The film also showcases Kobe as one of the best basketball players in the world featuring him as a protector of basketball as he fights off those wishing to destroy and attack the game.

Why WE SHOULD NOT FEAR THE BLACK MAMBA? 

Basketball is Phillipines national sport baby! So why should any Pinoy hot blooded basketball fanatic fear anyone? Hell no! And with Kobe Bryant protecting the best sport in the universe against destroyers who else can defy that! Ha! ^_^

Watch the trailers below and see what I was talking (writing) about.

I AM MAKING IT LOUD AND PROUD THIS YEAR!!!

My blogging life started as online diary. Nobody except my bestfriend knew I was writing. I intended to keep the blog private as it became like a sanctuary for me.

After years and a few blog name changes, I am proud to say that I am still online, blogging and has inspired a few more friends to keep a blog of their thoughts as well.

The interesting part is, I used to dislike my name but has now come to embrace and own it. Thus, I'd like to announce the new change in my blogname - Echoserang Queen, a braver and bolder theme and more interesting topics for the new year!

I am Making it LOUD and proud this year!

Silver Surfer Ride at Zoom Tree Top Adventure Quezon City

Silver Surfer ride

I talked about the Drixine event I attended. I've met some new friends and got to experience the thrill of riding a zipline. Here are some of the videos Carl from The WebMagazine took at the event. The Drixine event was held at Zoom Tree Top Adventure at Circulo Verde, Quezon City.

Me alone! @_@

Silver Surfer is a ride where in you stand on a hanging platform suspended less than 100 feet up which serves as your "surfboard" much like Silver Surfer. You can feel the rush during unexpected stops as you swing back and forth. It will cost you Php300.00 to ride this on a regular day.

200 ft

Superman Ride

Below are the prices for the rides. Circulo Verde Zoom Top Adventure was not that hard to find. Just go straight Calle Industria near Eastwood City and you will find an open field somewhat being developed into a posh subdivision. 
Superman Ride - 400 php
Silver Surfer Ride - 300 php
Parachute Fall Ride - 200 php
Zoom TreeTop Adventure is located in Circulo Verde along Calle Industria.

I was screaming for my dear life while on ride the "surfer". Very funny cause you can hear the panic in my voice when the motorized ride started! >,<





Thanks Carl for these unforgettable videos! ^^ 

Nasal Congestion? Unclogged in 5 minutes with Drixine!

First of all, I need to apologize to my avid followers who have constantly been searching for news about me in this blog. Yeah yeah, I was busy... I was busy making myself busy. ^^  To tell you honestly, the inspiration to write and share was very hard to find during my down and heartbroken times. I even contemplated if it would be easier to finally shut down this blog. But the answer finally came last Monday when I received an invite to attend one event.


It was an event for Drixine Nasal Spray Decongestant. My mind and heart has been clogged by all negative and melancholic thoughts since Sweetypie♥ left that it affected my altruism and positivity in life. And as I've mentioned before, I always try to not vent my frustrations on this blog.  When I read the invite to Drixine Nasal Decongestant, it's like a sign telling me to de-clogged my burdened heart and put all faith in Him. The event also lets the participants ride the ziplines at Zoom Tree Top Adventure. Mind you, I am afraid of heights but I confirmed right away that I will be joining. It will be fun to try zipline even for just once. 


The event was held in Zoom Tree Top Adventure at Circulo Verde, Quezon City. I was really running a little late since I had to rush MoiMoi, my Shih Tzu to the vet. I will tell you more about that in a separate post. So then I took a cab ride to the venue. The venue was not that hard to find. Just go straight Calle Industria near Eastwood City and you will find an open field somewhat being developed into a posh subdivision. 

So here I am, in a new event. Met some new acquaintances and bonding with bloggers Jeff, Carl,  Jeman, Anton and Alex. It was a very fun event. We experienced the adrenaline rush. The ziplines rides are very fast!!! Much like how Drixine Nasal Spray unclogs stuffy nose. Quick, Fast and Easy!

Yes, It's Sam YG!

Before, whenever I have colds I just use menthol rubs or a menthol inhaler to relieve swelling and clogged airways. This is a little awkward since you need to whip out the inhaler from time to time to de-clogged runny nose. But seeing that there is a new product out there that gives relief in as little as 5 minutes, I became interested to know more.


Mr. Raphael "Affie" Carpio- Brand Manger for Drixine gave a brief overview on what is Drixine while Dra. Natividad Almazan (Ears, Nose and Throat Specialist) gave a discussion about the components of Drixine such as Oxymetazoline and how very convenient a quick relief can be obtained in using the product. The event was hosted by Sam YG. 


I never heard of Drixine before much less a nasal spray. How do you administer that? Isn't it awkward to do? Alex, another blogger volunteered to do a demo on how to properly use the nasal spray. And yes, it was less than 5 minutes and she felt already the effect of the medicine. 
Drixine Nasal Spray is a decongestant that provides fast relief from clogged nose associated with colds, sinusitis, hay fever and other respiratory allergies in as little as five minutes. It contains 0.05% Oxymetazoline, an acting ingredient proven to decrease the inflammation and swelling of the nasal passage allowing air to pass freely. Drixine is the newest product from MSD Consumer Care.


On next post, I shared some funny videos of myself trying to conquer my fear of heights. ^^

The Benefits of Being Barefoot

When I was a baby, I like running around and jumping barefoot.

When I was a child, I like playing "patintero" with my friends barefoot.

When I was a teenager, I love walking around the beach and feeling the sands in barefoot.

And now that I'm a working lady, whenever I get home, I like kickin' my black heels shoes and lounging in the house barefoot.

The Benefits of Being Barefoot

We have all been born barefoot. A long time ago, people have lived and survived without using protective footwear. But, today, because of technology and the many changes it brought, wearing shoes became an essential part of life. But beyond all the protection and the style shoes provide, we seem to have forgotten the significant benefits and sense of freedom being barefoot brings.

Shoes were first invented thousands of years ago—way back when people used to live in caves. Back then, they used animal hides and leather laces to protect their feet from the rough terrain. Millennia passed and the concept of shoes evolved in countless ways from its design, material, and even its uses. It became a necessity to shod oneself. However, no matter how things change, most people still prefer to do a lot of things barefoot. It is all because being barefoot is very comfortable. But, aside from the unrivaled relaxation being barefoot brings, it also has a considerable number of benefits, not just to the feet, but the body as a whole.

Doing activities barefoot brings a lot of advantages to the body’s flexibility and mobility. It allows people to exercise, stretch, relax, and strengthen muscles they normally don’t get to use when wearing shoes. Barefoot running also corrects the way people run—making them land on the balls of their feet—as compared to wearing rubber shoes which gives the tendency to land on the heels first. Landing on the heels of the feet releases more pressure and shock to legs and knees. Doing things barefoot also improves range of motion in ankles, feet, and toes because of movements that are more natural and free. It also heightens body awareness since the body has the sense of being freer than being shod. Balance and motion agility are also developed because doing things barefoot further stimulates the neurons and nerves that are essential to lower body movement. And because there are no heels to torture the foot heel and the ankle, it enhances natural posture and the alignment of the spine. And, most especially, it is much easier to relax and stretch after a workout if someone is barefoot.

Countless health benefits have been associated with being barefoot. That is why athletes, to attain better health and movement, prefer to do their sports without any footwear on. It is because when barefoot, movements become the movements of a child—playful and sensitive, yet purposeful and confident. A person experiences the unbound joy of stepping, hopping, and running across any surface on earth, simply to get from here to there. This is the reason why a lot of sports enthusiasts prefer to deal with their activities barefoot.

Numerous runners have been hitting the tracks without any shoes on because the benefits of running barefoot have long been supported by scientific research, coaches, and athletes who’ve offered ample evidence that training without shoes allows you to run faster and further with fewer injuries. Motion studies demonstrate that when running barefoot, one naturally lands on the forefoot, directly below the center of gravity. This results in optimum balance, increased stability, less impact, and greater propulsion.

Indeed, undertaking activities barefoot has a lot of benefits and advantages for the body. However, the feet—most especially those of the more active people—need to be protected from the many possibilities of injury. That is why some footwear are developed to mimic the feel and freedom of being barefoot. A good example would be the Vibram Five Fingers which is a proof that many people prefer to do things barefoot. With a slot for each of the toes, it actually gives all the freedom and feel of wearing no shoes on.

Many other innovations in footwear have been introduced into the market to make our feet as comfortable and relaxed as if barefoot. It is because it takes no genius to agree that—aside from the benefits of going barefoot—the feet has taken the humans a long long way and they deserve a break and the freedom.

The Vibram Five Fingers store is located at Level R1 Bridgeway in PowerPlant Mall, Rockwell. For inquiries, call (02) 513-1449 or e-mail marketing@barefootwearinc.com. You could also visit the official website at http://www.barefootwearinc.com/.
