Funky Fish

Funky Fish is not about fashion. It is about how you want to see yourself. Funky Fish is the way you express individuality and freedom, as intensely as you choose, by designing your own style. Now is the time to celebrate youth. Say what you think, and the world will listen. Invent your funky self.

 



 

Funky Fish was born in Palma de Mallorca, Spain: A young couple selling sticker tattoos to smiling tourists of all ages. Their business grew as their original product ideas reached the famous resort areas of Spain and Portugal. The first Funky Fish shop, offering a full range of fashion accessories and gadgets opened in Malaga, Spain in 2003. Today our shops are in 27 countries across 4 continents, offering fashion and fun to teenagers and young women around the world, and everyone is still smiling!

 



 

Over the years Funky Fish have come to understand how women begin to choose their style and look from a very young age. They like to experiment with different styles, sometimes going with the trend, and often against the trend…

 

Funky Fish bright and colorful shops are the coolest place for girls to meet at the mall. They can try on different looks, change, then change again… and have lots of laughs while doing it. They can be elegant, wild, eccentric, or just plan trendy, but always “in”.

FOREVER STRONG WELLNESS: AN INTENSIVE, HOLISTIC, AND PERSONALIZED WAY TO LOSING WEIGHT AND GETTING HEALTHY

A lot of people equate losing weight with being healthy. While it is true that shedding excess pounds is good for everyone, it isn’t the only marker of good health. Weight loss is just one of the results of an effective holistic program. At Forever Strong Wellness Center, the goal is holistic health. Weight loss is not the end all, it is just the beginning. This is what the 6-Week Health Overhaul Program is about.

 

The 6-Week Health Overhaul Program is based on 3 pillars: education, natural remedies and holistic approach. These 3 pillars provide the backbone to sustainable weight loss, strong physique, and a healthy lifestyle. The program consists of 6 strategies that synergistically work

together to bring about health transformation.

 

Intensive, holistic, and personalized, this program is perfect for anyone who wants to be healthy, whether you’re someone who has an illness like hypertension or diabetes, or you’re simply feeling like age is catching up with you.

 

6 steps for 6 weeks

 

There are 6 steps to the program. Starting with a health assessment, where testing and evaluation are done to determine your body composition, resting metabolic rate, cardiovascular

fitness, flexibility, muscular strength, postural deviations, and risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Certainly, these steps entail a lot of data collection. However, this step is crucial to develop baseline information as it is used to guide the design of your whole program.

 

 



 

The second step is metabolic typing, which provides information on your nutritional needs and as a result addresses issues like food cravings, hunger, low energy, weight gain, and metabolic disorders.

 

The third step is nutritional counselling, where food types and eating habits are learned to help you not just lose weight and sustain ideal weight, but also prevent the development of cardiovascular diseases.

 

The fourth step is Personal Training designed especially for you. You’ll be provided a personal trainer and with the right kind of exercise, you will develop a strong physique; increase your metabolism; strengthen your immune system; and enhance your body’s ability to fight

 

 

 

 

 

The fifth step entails detoxification. This step involves an infrared sauna to not just relax your muscles but more importantly to also flush away toxins and cleanse the body.

 



 

The sixth and final step involves Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (TMT). TMT is meant to provide an effective means to infuse magnesium into body effectively. Incidentally, the lack or deficiency in magnesium has been proven to lead to type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.

 

After the 6-Week Health Overhaul Program, expect to see changes in your body and health. You will gain energy, strengthen your immune system, get rid of body aches and pains, and lose weight, of course. The 6-Week Health Overhaul Program may bring about all these benefits, but you don’t have to stop after 6 weeks. Some people go for a back-to-back to help them address a serious health concern.

 

 

Essential oil therapies

 

Apart from the 6-Week Health Overhaul Program, Forever Strong Wellness Center also offers essential oil therapies. These therapies are targeted to provide relief from back aches and pain, including joints and muscle discomfort.  

 

 

The Raindrop Therapy is focused on the spine and uses 9 different essential oils. The goal is to relax the spinal nerves and to provide antioxidant protection against the possible presence of microbes that lay dormant in the spine.

 



 The Vita Flex Technique, on the other hand, is a therapeutic technique adapted from Oriental acupuncture, acupressure, and reflexology made more effective with the use of essential oils. It is a foot and hand massage but it rejuvenates the whole body.

 

And then there is the Ortho Ease Massage, which targets deep tissues in localized areas of the body to relieve pain and discomfort. It soothes muscle aches, sprains, and minor swelling. For middle-age adults, the programs at Forever Strong Wellness Center will provide the foundation of health so you can maintain your new weight, avoid premature aging, strengthen your immune system, get rid of body aches and pains, and gain energy. Ms. Owen believes that a holistic approach is what it takes to become healthy and strong. Thus, the issue with type 2 diabetes and hypertension, which most middle-age adults are predisposed to, can be prevented.

 

Testimony from Ging Carsi-Cruz, 46 years old:

 

My sister Carla Martinez was the person who introduced me to Lanie as she felt that I needed o get myself into some sort of a weight loss program since I have been overweight for the past 14 years. This was ever since I gave birth to my first son. My weight just kept accumulating through the years despite my efforts of dieting, fasting and exercising. After 6 weeks, I lost 18 pounds. I exceeded the goal far beyond my expectations. In fact, in six months, I got to a dress size and weight that I never deemed achievable! I dropped 8 dress sizes down and lost close to 50 lbs. The complete 6-Week Health Overhaul program including magnesium therapy, infrared sauna, exercise, eating guidelines and nutritional counseling helped me to achieve my initial target of losing 38 lbs. and 5 inches off my belly. What impressed me most was in 2 months, I was able to lay off my heart medication which the doctors said I had to take for life since I have a condition called HOCM. Somehow reaching 138 lbs. was not enough for me but I was struggling to lose a little bit more. With her help, I was able to cut through the plateau and started losing more weight, a pound at a time. The Total Body Detox Program helped me get down to my final weight of 124 lbs. I have never felt healthier, stronger, and younger in my life. My overall health has improved. My cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood glucose have normalized and have remained stable. Her close monitoring of me has truly proven the success of the program. I truly appreciate the one-on-one coaching that she did to attain my overall wellness goal. She is an EXCELLENT LIFE COACH! Thanks Lanie . . . I could never have gotten this far

without you!

 



According to Lanie Owen, owner of Forever Strong Wellness, following the 3 pillars namely, education, natural remedies, and holistic approach, a person can achieve a total health transformation. Ms. Owen holds a Bachelor of Science in Health and Wellness and Master of Science in Health Education. She is also a Certified Personal Trainer and a Certified Health Coach. She practiced in the U.S. for over a decade before moving to the Philippines over a year

ago.

Hepamin OD for Liver Protection

Silymarin, which is derived from the milk thistle plant renowned for its protective effects on the liver way back during the time of the ancient Greeks, is a powerful antioxidant that gets rid of cell-damaging free radicals.

Liver cells are the only cells that can metabolize alcohol which is why it is the organ that gets overworked with excessive alcohol consumption. The liver normally takes fatty acids as its fuel and sends off the excess to other tissues of the body as triglycerides. But with the presence of alcohol, the liver is forced to metabolize the alcohol first causing fatty acids and other toxins to accumulate, which would eventually lead to the formation of cirrhosis. Silymarin can help reduce fatty infiltrations from toxins and alcohol and it also aids in the regeneration of damaged liver cells.

One such silymarin food supplement available in the Philippine market is the Hepamin OD distributed by Trianon International. Containing 300 mg silimaryn per capsule, it is conveniently taken just once daily for optimal liver protection, unlike most supplements which have to be taken two to three times daily.



Hepamin OD, P24.50/capsule; P735.00/box



Studies have shown that silymarin is effective in improving the survival of patients with severe fatty liver disease and/or liver cirrhosis. One study subjected 170 patients to a thrice a day 140 mg silymarin regimen for 41 months. The study showed that those who received silymarin supplementation had a 58 percent 4-year survival rate while the placebo group only had 39 percent. This improvement in survival rates is even more apparent among those who had alcoholic cirrhosis. Silymarin moreover did not present any form of side effect. This particular study attests to the benefit and safety of the supplement for long-term treatments especially for alcoholic patients.

Colgate Optic White’s Dream Wedding Contest

Whether it’s tripping while walking down the aisle, saying the wrong name during the exchange of vows, being photographed with lipstick on your teeth, or worse, ending up without any photographs at all – everyone has bouts of disasters running through their heads. With so many things that could go uncontrollably wrong, brides prepare for their big day way ahead of time, seeking the best team that can give them less things to worry about.

 



 

For wedding coverage, there are two names that stand out among the crowd – Jason Magbanua and Pat Dy. With more than 10 years in the wedding industry, Jason Magbanua has been called many things, including a genius and a magician. But as far as Jason is concerned, he’s simply a visual storyteller with an eye for capturing perfect wedding moments. Pat Dy, on the other hand, started his editorial career by shooting for top fashion magazines in the country. His fashion approach for capturing real couples got the attention of the wedding industry and has since changed the industry landscape.



When planning a wedding, most brides-to-be have Jason and Pat on their wish list; the two are, after all, the best of the best, and are among the most celebrated names in the world of weddings. Their portfolio of clients read like the who's who of Manila's social scene. Case in point: Maggie Wilson and Victor Consunji's racy and headline-making pre-nup shoot by Jason Magbanua; Pat Dy’s romantic Parisian shots of Stephanie Kienle and Chris Gonzalez; and Cat Arambulo and Carlo Antonio’s intimate weekend nuptials in Bellaroca captured on video and photo by the duo.

 

Now, future brides can join the ranks of Manila's most beautiful by being part of Colgate Optic White's Dream Wedding contest. By uploading a short video of their absolute worst wedding worries on the Colgate Philippines’ Facebook page, one lucky bride will have the chance for her wedding to be captured through the eyes of Pat Dy and Jason Magbanua.

“Everyone wants a ‘white wedding’ – a wedding where everything’s spotless and everything goes according to plan,” says Magbanua.

 

“In most cases though, something’s bound to go wrong,” shares Solenn Heussaff, face of Colgate Optic White and attendee of countless weddings playing guest, bridesmaid, and make-up artist. “But every bride I’ve seen has been able to glide through their weddings – mishaps and all – with a smile.”

 

Solenn understands that memories are sustained through one’s photos and wedding video, some of the most precious reminders of a bride’s most thrilling day.

“With Colgate Optic White, there is one wedding woe that you need not worry about: the perfect wedding smile,” says Solenn.

 

Magbanua and Dy agree. “If there’s something that completes a bride’s look, it’s definitely her perfect white smile,” says Magbanua.

“It’s the one day in your life where literally all eyes will be on you, and it’s a day you’ll want to relive over and over,” says Dy. “I’ve taken hundreds and thousands of photographs, and it’s really the perfect white smile that makes all the difference,” he adds.

“There are certain key moments in a wedding: the unveiling of the bride, the opening of the door, the walk down the aisle, and the first kiss of the bride and the groom,” says Magbanua. “You have one chance to get it right. There’s beauty in the moment, and there’s beauty in the bride. The smile says it all,” adds Magbanua.

 

A smile can make all the difference during the wedding. It has the power to release stress, calm down nerves, and even instantly brighten the entire wedding’s atmosphere. “Your smile is a significant part of you. Not only does a white smile make you look good, it makes you and others feel good,” adds Dy.

 

 “It’s one of the first things people notice, and having the perfect white smile will definitely boost your confidence to get through any day,” says Solenn. “I’ve used the product long enough to know that you can really rely on Colgate Optic White to give you the perfect smile on your wedding day. And even if I’m not yet getting married, I still want to dazzle my man with my perfect white smile,“ she adds.

 

“And because Colgate Optic White promises one shade whiter teeth after just one week*, you can be sure to have one less thing to worry about in making your dream wedding a reality.”

Colgate Optic White's Dream Wedding runs from September 4 to October 27, 2014 and is open to all wedded-to-be Filipinos in January until June 2015. The 10 most creative submissions will be chosen and voted on by the public.
