The RIPPLES of KOI aims to send small waves of ideas and self motivation to power up the life of its readers.
Let's talk about SELF HELP, HEALTH, BEAUTY and WELLNESS, LOVE, LIFE, ROMANCE and RELATIONSHIPS, FAMILY and PARENTING, PRODUCT REVIEWS and MORE!
It's been quite a while since I first wrote a product review concerning something that truly inspired me to write about. Yes, years have gone by since. And I am really excited to talk about this new product that truly... (I MEAN REALLY) TOOK ME BY SURPRISE!!!
Well, first of, I am an online seller and have been connected to a newly launched company known in San Fernando La Union as GOOD HEALTH, owned and managed by Sir Marvin Dacquel (Vice President/C.M.O) and his beautiful and hard working better half, Mam Joanne Dacquel (President/C.E.O). In all honesty, I was thinking twice if I would sell the products of their company since they were only starting. But I've really been a fan of this couple when it comes to business, (which is why their life's work I would be blogging about next time, if given the chance). Aside from that, my loving husband encouraged me to try and sell their products, because they were intended to enhance health. It was very timely because that was the start of the saga of Covid19 devastating the world and we all had to enhance the power of our immune system. So I agreed... and WOW! Connecting with them was really a blessing that was so timely. While others were running out of stocks for Vitamin C, we were given our stocks at the right time to cater to our buyers without having to raise our selling price.
Fast forward to last week of July of this same year, they have tried to offer me to become a distributor of a rejuvenating set that is formulated again exclusively for them and was launched last July 13. Unfortunately, I am not really and NEVER BEEN A FAN of any rejuvenating set. Because each time I tried, all I get is itchy skin, rashes and my everlasting production of freckles, to top it all, I never really liked the "tiis ganda" thing. Aside from that, I try all products first before selling them... but NOT THE REJUVENATING SETS... never. But as always, my ever supportive and encouraging husband wanted me to try selling this set, and so I agreed but just a reseller. So, I ordered 6 sets for the time being. And to my surprise... it was sold out right away in 2 hours or less after I posted them on my selling page! Aside from that, I got great feedbacks from my buyers... even buyers who claimed that they had sensitive skin. I was amazed and I suddenly became curious, so I did what I NEVER EVER HAVE DONE BEFORE - I FINALLY TRIED THEIR REJUVENATING SET. Yes! This is what I call Elyu's shining buzz... officially called the SHINING SKIN ESSENTIALS!
I first tried at night before sleeping. As I read the instructions on how to use this product, I am again amazed! It is so easy to use. No fuzz... no so much work, because you only have to cleanse your face with the Pink Kojic Soap, the toner, then the serum and voila! You can relax in all its great sensation on your skin. You can instantly feel its moisturizing effect, my skin felt so pampered and relieved from the day's hustle and bustle. I do not really know how to fully describe it, but all I can say is, it feels heavenly on your skin. And the following day... it is so awesome! You can see and feel your skin glowing with health right away! YES! RIGHT AWAY! And, YES, on that day I know that SHINING SKIN ESSENTIALS will be a buzz in La Union. And that same day, I sent a message to sir Marvin and mam Joanne informing them of my desire to be a City Distributor for SHINING SKIN ESSENTIALS! Well, it will not hurt to sell something that will make my buyers happy and beautiful... and me as well... hehe 😍😁😂 Aside from that, it is so affordable at Php280 only! This is the reason why I could not believe that Shining Skin Essentials could make my skin feel this good and at the same time make my bank account free from panic attack!

Who could ever forget this song which became so popular because of the classic movie “The Wizard of Oz”?
Everyone who has read the book and watched the film would really
appreciate this song so much and would truly remember DOROTHY.
Originally "The Wizard of Oz"
(a.k.a "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz") is a children’s novel, authored by
L. Frank Baum and was published in1900. Since then, it has then been
reprinted a million times. In 1902, it was played on stage and
eventually was filmed in 1939. It remained a very popular fantasy film
for many years. This paved way to popularize the name DOROTHY because it
was the name of a girl who is the center of the story.
This film
was well loved by many, maybe (or surely) because of the after taste
that it leaves in the hearts of those who have read or watched it. I,
myself have loved the story so much that I would love to share it to my
son when the time is right.
A short review of "The Wizard of Oz".... and DOROTHY
Dorothy is a girl who lived with her Uncle Henry, Aunt Em, and little
dog Toto in Kansas. She always wished to just go away and have her own
life with her dog. At that time, she did not appreciate the goodness of
her own home.One day the farmhouse, with Dorothy and Toto inside, is
caught up in a tornado and found themselves in a field in the Land of Oz. The falling house kills the ruler of the Munchkins, who is the Wicked Witch of the East.
The Good Witch
of the North came to welcome Dorothy and gave her the Silver Shoes that
the Wicked Witch of the East was wearing when she was killed. In order
to return to Kansas, the Good Witch of the North told Dorothy that she
will have to go to the "Emerald City"
and ask the Wizard of Oz to help her.On her way,Dorothy freed a
Scarecrow from the pole he is hanging on, restored the movements of the
rusted Tin Woodman with an oil, and encouraged them and the Cowardly
Lion to journey with her and Toto to the Emerald City. The Scarecrow
wanted to get a brain, the Tin Woodman a heart, and the Cowardly Lion,
courage. They all believed that the Wizard can help them. Together, they
overcame all obstacles along the way.
When they arrived at the
Emerald City, they are asked to use green eyeglasses by the Guardian of
the Gates. The wizard showed himself in different ways every time he
appeared to someone. To Dorothy, the Wizard is a giant head;the Tin
Woodman saw a ravenous beast; the Cowardly Lion saw a ball of fire and
the Scarecrow saw a beautiful woman. The Wizard agreed to help each of
them, in one condition that one of them must kill the Wicked Witch of
the West who rules over the Winkie Country.
As the friends
traveled across the Winkie Country, the Wicked Witch sends wolves, bees,
crows and her soldiers to attack them, but they managed to conquer
them. Then, using the power of the Golden Cap, the Witch summons the
Winged Monkeys to capture all of the travelers.
The Wicked Witch
got one of Dorothy's silver shoes, Dorothy got angry and grabbed a
bucket of water and splashed it on the Wicked Witch, who begun to melt.
The Winkies rejoiced for being free from the witch, and they helped to
reassemble the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman. The Winkies love the Tin
Woodman, and they asked him to become their ruler, and he agreed and
promised to come back after helping Dorothy to go home.
When
Dorothy and her friends met the Wizard of Oz again, he did not want to
talk to them anymore. And with the help of fate, Toto accidentally
tipped over a screen in a corner of the throne room, revealing the
Wizard to be an old man who had journeyed to Oz from Omaha long ago in a
hot air balloon.
The Wizard provided the Scarecrow, the Tin
Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion with a head full of bran, pins, and
needles, a silk heart stuffed with sawdust, and a potion of "courage",
respectively. Not knowing that these items were really useless, it
caused a "placebo" effect on them and has helped them to go on with
their journey.
In order to help Dorothy and Toto get home, the Wizard realizes that he
will have to take them home with him in a new balloon, which he and
Dorothy made. Revealing himself to the people of the Emerald City one
last time, the Wizard appoints the Scarecrow, by virtue of his brains,
to rule in his stead. Dorothy chases Toto after he runs after a kitten
in the crowd, and before she can make it back to the balloon, the ropes
break, leaving the Wizard to rise and float away alone.
Dorothy became hopeless and thought that she can't go home but The Soldier with the Green Whiskers informed her about Glinda
the Good Witch of the South. Together, with her dog, they escaped the
obstacles but almost losing Toto along the journey to Glinda's
home.Glinda eventually told Dorothy that she had the power to go home.
Dorothy and Toto returned home realizing that there's no place like home.
We are at times like DOROTHY, wishing to find happiness
and believing we can have it elsewhere, and thinking that we can find
joy by having some things that we don't have at the moment and leaving
behind what we have.
"It's pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness. Poverty and wealth have both failed." (Frank McKinney "Kin" Hubbard)
Sail upstream like the carp fish swimming up against the waterfalls...
The FISH...
"Happiness is a form of courage." (Holbrook Jackson)
I can still remember what my grandfather once told me about a fish most admired in Japan.
I felt so down, so unhappy because of the pressures of being a
teenager, and seeing him sick and bedridden was so difficult. One thing I
remember most about my grandfather is that he was always so sensitive
to how I felt. He always knew how I truly felt and always had the right
things to say to make me feel better. Seeing me feeling down might have
caused him to talk about the carp fish. According to him, the carp fish
is considered as courageous and determined fish in Japan because it
swims upstream, even against the flow of waterfalls. Because of their
reverence to the fish, they even celebrate Children's Day in Japan every
year on the 5th. day of May, by tying carp- shaped wind socks to their
homes as a way to wish their children HAPPINESS.
In our own quest
for happiness, we cannot achieve what we are looking for if we don’t
have enough courage and determination to go against the waves of life
and without the heart to just sail with the winds to find our own rainbows.
Whenever you feel sad, go on and cry as much as you like. In reality,
life’s like that, no one has ever had constant feelings of happiness.
But don’t let it take you away. Don’t cry and feel sorry all your life,
stay courageous and determined.
Happiness is in the small things that come to us unknowingly everyday... We may have long found our rainbows but never realized it at all.
... true HAPPINESS and finding our own RAINBOWS
In this life, we can’t deny the fact that true happiness does not linger
constantly. Although much has been heard and read about how to be happy
and what happiness is all about, we sometimes suffer the blues, or even
depressions brought about by the hassles and bustles in our day to day
existence. And like Dorothy, we sometimes wish that we could just go
away find our own rainbows and eventually be happy. We often lose hope,
letting go of our own courage and determination.
"Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open." (John Barrymore)
We
dream of a land that is hassle free… yet in the real world, nothing is
hassle free. It is just that we fail to realize sometimes that only
after the storms
can we find rainbows and beyond the clouds are blue skies waiting to
show up. Troubles don’t really melt like lemon drops, but who cares? We
have God to help us to be sturdy enough and face whatever life may give
us. We wish that clouds may be far behind us, but it would be better if
we ask Him to stay with us and keep us strong as we rage the storms of
life. We may envy the birds for their ability to fly yet we could have
known that we’ve been flying without wings because of His love and the
love of the people who truly cares for us. We complain of a boring life,
yet we forget that the things we do and care for everyday are the
things we live for. We are at times irritated with the people around us,
never realizing that they are actually our reasons for holding on. They
are the ones who stay with us through the good and the bad. We often
forget the people who always pat our shoulders to inspire us whenever we
feel down. As always, life is not a fairy tale, but dreams turn into
reality as long as we keep believing and doing things with God’s never
ending mercy, with the knowledge that we can never be alone because He
has blessed us with a family, friends and even strangers who can teach us lessons in life that no book could ever teach.
In a gist, we can always be happy as long as we realize how to appreciate and look at the brighter side of life, with the heart
that knows who holds our future despite our day to day uncertainties.
Like Dorothy, we should realize that everyone has the power to overcome
their own obstacles, and sometimes, we need the help of other people to
make us realize how tough we can get. The wizard did not really “gave”
them what they wanted because they had it inside themselves all along;
the Scarecrow had a brain, he just needed to be given a chance to use
it; the Tin Man had a heart, he just needed someone to care for; the
Lion had courage, he just needed a true opportunity to be courageous;
and of course, Dorothy, according to Glinda, had the power to go home
all along with the use of the silver shoes which was given to her even
at the very beginning of her journey. And they would have not done all
these if they were not courageous and determined.
Aside from that,
the adage popularized by “The Wizard of Oz” which says, “There’s no
place like home,” is true. Sometimes, we fail to be happy because we
don’t often realize the true value of the people who are always with us.
Like Dorothy, we sometimes want a place elsewhere thinking that we
could be happier and have a better life only to realize how much we want to go home and how happy we could get when we get back to where our real happiness is- OUR HOME.
At
the end of the day, we could realize that our quest for happiness has
taken us away from it, because we failed to keep in mind that true
happiness is the appreciation of what we have and the security of
knowing that although we are not perfect, some people truly love and
care for us. Happiness is in the presence, the hugs and loving gestures
of our family, the encouragement of our real friends and the life we
live everyday with these people who loves us unconditionally. These are
the cause of our joys, and the things that we should always keep in mind
whenever we face the stormiest days of our life… these are the things that somehow keep us HAPPY.
"I
often wished for a "better" life... and then I woke up one day
realizing how blessed my life is... At that moment, I knew deep in my
heart, that I could never wish for a better life again. Because life has
always been so good to me... what could be better than that?" (DjBryle Works, "Dancing With HAPPINESS AND STORMS")
