From the Press Release Kit:

Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation (APC) Group recently concluded it’s first-ever #AjinomotoSustainAbilidadChallenge, an initiative that enjoined Filipinos to share their do-it-yourself (DIY) sustainability projects.   The online challenge garnered a total of 243 entries.  Five Facebook and five Tiktok participants with the most creative application of the 3Rs of conservation—reduce, reuse, recycle - were hailed as winners.

“Filipinos are resourceful and innovative.  This campaign proves just how invested we are when it comes to taking better care of our environment. We hope this campaign further inspires individuals to live a more sustainable lifestyle at home,” said Roann Co, Ajinomoto General Manager of Marketing and Public Relations.

Winning DIY Projects to Try at Home

The five winning entries from Facebook include a project that turned used sachets of Ajinomoto products into a beautiful plastic curtain, as well as one that turned what would have been trash into a fully functioning and fashionable apron. Used cartons were also popular among participants, one turned into a doll house and another into a DIY toy kitchen for kids. Meanwhile, tabs collected from soft drink cans were transformed into a soda tabs gown.

Moreover, the entries submitted via Tiktok were equally inventive. One of the winning entries turned an old electronic cartridge into a mini amplifier, while another transformed old throw pillows into new, upcycled ones. On the other hand, those working from home may be inspired by the following DIY office organizers: plastic bottle pencil holders, carton storage box and tissue box turned facemask container.

Each of the 10 winners will receive P2,000 worth of gift certificate and other special items from APC Group.  Special awards will also be given to entries that garnered the most number of “likes.”

“It makes me glad and proud to see that the SustainAbilidad Challenge was a success. Seeing all the creative DIY projects is truly inspiring because it shows us how big of an impact small acts can do. It also shows us that environmental sustainability really does begin at home,” said Guia Cebrero, Ajinomoto Brand Manager, one of the contest judges.

The #AjinomotoSustainAbilildadChallenge is part of APC’s Ilabas ang SustainAbilidad environment education campaign that was launched last year to help consumers incorporate sustainable practices in their daily lives.

Moreover, showing its serious commitment to sustainability, APC Group had earlier pledged to reduce its plastic waste to zero by 2030. The organization has already reduced the size and thickness of its packaging that led to lessening its plastic waste by 70-100 tons per year. The company has also made use of waste water treatment facilities and technologies to convert some of its factory materials to reusable fuel.

“The #AjinomotoSustainabilidadChallenge together with our other green initiatives are all part of our company’s commitment to resolving social issues through the Ajinomoto Group Creating Shared Value (ASV). We aim to contribute greater health and environmental wellness for people around the world.” Co remarked.

3 Offline Ways To Advertise Your Small Business


3 Offline Ways To Advertise Your Small Business

Growing the customer base for your small business can be tricky. Although most people search online when they need a product or service, there are a variety of offline techniques that will draw attention to your business.

Logos

Your logo is an ideal way to make yourself known to potential customers. A silkscreen printing Dunkirk MD service can put your logo on just about anything, including shirts, vinyl decals and drinkware.

Design a logo that is unique and eye-catching, but not harsh to look at. Ask friends and family who fit the description of your general customer base what they think of potential logos. Make sure the logo matches the tone of your business. For example, a serious law firm likely would not be well-served by a cartoon logo.

Jingles

Radio and television advertisements may seem outdated, but many people still consume these media. Putting an advertisement on a local radio or cable station allows you to reach potential customers in your geographic location.

A jingle helps the message stay with the audience long after the ad is over. Use rhyming words and a catchy rhythm to help individuals remember the name of your company, what you provide and what makes you stand out from others. A professional can help you create the perfect jingle.

Word-of-Mouth

Perhaps the most trusted form of advertisement is word-of-mouth. People trust their friends and family to recommend good businesses, so make sure everyone at the business who interacts with customers is friendly and helpful. Always provide the highest quality goods and service that you can. Make it easy for customers to recommend you to others by providing them with sturdy business cards that they can give away.

Although it is considered standard practice to advertise through websites and social media, remember that these are not the only ways to reach your customers. What they see and hear in their own neighborhoods matters just as much.

10 Ways to Have a Flatter Stomach


JACOBLUND/GETTY IMAGES

Coming from a C-Section 10 months ago, I am struggling to have a flatter stomach. You know, having a baby comes with having a bigger tummy. Even if the baby is out, the big stomach remains. I know a lot mommy out there can relate.

Losing those unwanted fats around the belly is a real battle not just for us mommies but for everyone too. Also, excess fat maybe a risk factor for several diseases and can make you feel bloated.

Fortunately, there are effective strategies to reduce your waist size. If you want to have a flat stomach, here are methods to help you  have a flatter stomach:

1. Cutdown refined carbs

Carbohydrates are source of energy for the body. However, not all carbs are equally healthful. Those carbs from white bread and white pasta are can be transformed to glucose and its excess can be stored as fat. Cutting down your carbohydrates intake is proven to help in weight loss. In low carbohydrates diet, high percentage of the fat lost comes from the belly area and the liver.

Reduce your waistline by replacing refined carbs with unprocessed, whole-grain varieties.

2. Increase protein intake

Protein is the most important nutrient when it comes to losing weight. It offers the body building blocks to repair and grow muscle. High-protein diets also reduce appetite by making you feel full and help  retain muscle mass during weight loss.

Note that the amount of protein intake depends on many factors, such as your age, gender and activity level. Basically, you will need  20–30% of your calories from protein on a daily basis. Achieve it by incorporating a protein source in every meal.

3. Eat more soluble fiber

Soluble fiber can help make a person feel fuller for longer by absorbing large quantities of water and slowing down the passing of food through the digestive tract. This can reduce the amount of food to eat during and between meals.

Soluble fiber can improve digestion that help reduce bloating and keep the stomach looking slim. Good sources of soluble fibers include oats, flaxseeds, avocados, legumes, Brussels sprouts and blackberries.

4. Do some cardio exercises

An excellent way to burn calories is doing cardio exercises. This can improve overall health. Doing cardio exercises, like running, brisk walking, biking and rowing, can effectively strengthen midsection and reducing your waistline.

Moreover, standing while performing certain movements, can help strengthen the core muscles and trim the stomach area. Wearing cheap shapewear while exercising or simply just doing household chores may also help to in flattening the stomach.

5. Drink enough water 

Did you know that by drinking plenty of water, you can minimize water retention and bloating? These can make a person’s stomach look larger. Also, drinking a glass of water before a meal could also fill up the stomach and help with portion control during the meal.

You can drink plain water or infused water by adding citrus fruits, cucumber, or berries. Avoid high-calorie beverages.

6. Get enough sleep

Studies show that sleep deprivation affects the hormones that regulate a person’s appetite and can make them feel hungrier. So it is very important for weight loss to get a sufficient amount of good sleep.

7. Reduce Your Stress Levels

Stress is related to several health issues and these includes weight gain. This is because some people, when they are stressed, are prone to eat or binge eat. This effect is may be due to the release of stress hormone called cortisol, which can boost appetite and lead specifically to belly fat storage.

To relieve stress, try to add some stress-relieving activities to your daily routine, such as yoga or meditation, aerobics. Spend time with your loved ones or take a me time or vacation.

8. Try Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting is an eating plan that switches between fasting and eating for a specific amounts of time. The most popular methods are a 24-hour fast two to four times per week or a 16:8 fast, where you eat all your food within an 8-hour period.

Intermittent fasting works by extending the period when the body burns calories from the last consumed meal. During fasting, fat tissue provides energy to the rest of the body by releasing fatty acid molecules.

9. Do High-Intensity Training

Do high-intensity training like sprinting, rowing or jumping, with short breaks in between. This way of exercising makes your body burn more fat and increases your metabolic rate, even long after you’ve finished your workout.

High-intensity training is shown to have higher effects on fat burning, compared to other types of exercises, especially in the waistline.

10. Track Your Food Intake

It can be helpful to track your food intake when you’re trying to lose weight. You can do calorie counting like keeping a food diary or download a fitness mobile app, or taking pictures of your food. Tracking your calorie intake will allow you to adjust weight loss diet when needed.

There are many strategies that can help have a flatter stomach. Aside from the tips mentioned, you can also try wearing wholesale waist trainers  to provide a waist slimming effect, although it is just temporary.

The changes you make depend on your personal preferences and budget. These are a few ideas you can consider if you want to make your face more youthful or healthier.

Eyebrow Shape-Up

One idea that might work for you is an eyebrow shape-up. It's inexpensive, and it can make you look a few years younger. It's recommended that you visit a shop with years of experience helping people shape their eyebrows. That way, you can get a gorgeous outcome that you're not likely to forget.

Hair Removal Procedure

Another way you might want to improve your facial appearance is by having some unwanted hair removed. For example, many people have hair on their cheeks and in other areas of the face. Having a professional remove that hair can put a bit of extra life back into your face. You might also want to have your hair lip or mole removed. All of these subtle treatments will give you the cleanest and most youthful appearance you desire. You can usually get something like that done for less than $20 at a local shop.

Facial Peel

A facial peel might also be an excellent choice for facial rejuvenation Greenwood Village help.

Modern Lawn Sprinklers Have Become More Effective


Image: iStockphoto

People have been using lawn sprinkler systems for a while now. Most of these older sprinkler systems were still more convenient to use than other lawn watering systems.

Timed Sprinklers

However, people often had to make sure that they didn't leave the sprinklers running for an overly long period of time. The sprinklers that didn't become deactivated automatically were capable of consuming lots of water if people didn't remember to turn off the sprinkler systems themselves.

People who accidentally left their sprinklers on when it started to rain would be giving the plants much too much water. The process would also feel particularly wasteful under the circumstances. Sprinklers are capable of using several gallons of water every minute. Some sprinkler systems are more generally water-efficient than others, but almost all of them still use plenty of water.

Older sprinkler systems were also typically less efficient than the Denver sprinkler systems that are now available to customers. Someone who got distracted with something else and forgot to shut off the sprinkler system would potentially use significantly more water than they would have intended.

Using sprinkler systems like this could also cause them to wear out more quickly. Older sprinkler systems were sometimes more difficult to handle when cleaning, which could also cause them to be harder to maintain.

Sophisticated modern sprinkler systems won't create multiple additional chores for the people using them. These systems will also help the people who are trying to nourish their lawns as effectively as they can.

Easier Maintenance

Some plants may need more water than others, and people might have to water them particularly frequently. They might decide to add some of this extra water manually. While watering an entire lawn manually can be time-consuming, adding some extra water to a particular part of the lawn usually won't be as difficult. However, lawn sprinkler systems that are complex enough can still help the people who have equally intricate outdoor landscapes.

Measuring out the precise amount of water that plants need can certainly take time. The people who have tried to water their lawns themselves may have done so in the past. Today, many sprinkler systems are more or less doing the same thing. Sprinkler systems today were also designed to be less noticeable on the lawn than many older devices. Sprinkler systems that were connected to hoses already tended to draw a certain amount of attention to themselves because of the hose.

People had to avoid stepping on the hose or accidentally stumbling over it. The sprinkler fixtures themselves were also relatively bulky. These sprinklers sometimes had inefficient watering patterns. The stream of water would rotate backward and forwards, which could limit the product's range somewhat.

Many modern sprinklers are difficult to even see from a distance. The fixtures themselves are very simple, and they can blend in with the rest of the landscape very effectively. The typical watering pattern for these sprinklers is just as efficient, since they'll consistently release water in all directions.

Things You Need to Know about College Planning


Parrish Hall at Swarthmore College. Eric Behrens / Flickr

Every parent or guardian desires children to become successful in life. For children to be successful, it is essential to enter a reputed university or college. Many colleges aim at attracting promising high school graduates. One of the reasons behind this is the stiff competition among colleges and universities.

The process involved in college selection is complex, as is the management of college education expenses. Families do different things to pay for college studies aimed at empowering children to earn more money.

A college savings plan is a coordinated state approach to facilitate college education. The plans differ greatly in terms of performance, management, and fees. The college planning approach relieves you of the hassle and burden of managing your college studies.

The process includes identifying desired qualities. It is vital to separate the wants from the needs. With this, you can identify the least standards to look into during the process. People should attach value to the college's needs and wants: as a result, one recognizes, focuses, and finalizes the process successfully.

FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE COLLEGE PLANNING

It is vital to focus on the young adults' college education desires and dreams in choosing the college plan. The choice of the institution may be considered by reality standards as well as money limitations. Here are some important observations that impact college planning:

Early action and decision

Most regions are experiencing an increase in early college applications. The rate of acceptance for early action is higher compared to a regular decision in many schools. Students who are sure about a certain institution may consider the early decision. This provides students a greater opportunity to enjoy acceptance into a college.

Increased college applications

In the modern world, colleges and universities are experiencing increased applications. This is a result of the students' ability to submit college applications to different institutions. The application process is also well known and simple, enabling people to come up with a definitive list of colleges. Such a list is made up of colleges with higher chances of admitting you.

Affordability of college education

Colleges' expenses increase day by day despite the majority of schools having financial scholarships and assistance. In the past, most students were unable to complete college education due to a lack of finances. Students in the modern day have the option of applying for scholarships and monetary support from the colleges selected. The high school counseling department also offers scholarship suggestions to facilitate college education for young adults.

From previous research, people who graduate from colleges are healthier than young adults who do not go to colleges. University or college graduates possess important skills in critical thinking. Students should have a few colleges to select from: this entails choosing an institution depending on a particular criterion .College planners assist you with the application process, new policies, and sourcing for monetary help. The recent trends in college admissions may greatly impact a family during the college planning process. Investing in college or university education is vital in improving the future of young adults.

Strategies for Choosing the Right Insurance Policy

Buying insurance is not an easy task. This is because of the various factors that dictate the policies you buy. You should note that the policies you settle for determine the coverage you will enjoy. What you know and the avenues you use dictate the decisions you make. Here are the strategies for choosing the right insurance policy.

Start by Assessing Your Needs Carefully

What do you want the insurance for? Do you want to protect your car, cover your health needs, or protect your family? Before buying an insurance policy, it is important to carefully assess your needs. When assessing your needs, you should also determine how long you wish to have the coverage.

Check the Costs Involved

Paying the premiums can prove hectic when you lack a sustainable financial plan. As much as you need the coverage, achieving your objectives can prove hectic when you fail to pay the premiums. Check the costs involved before deciding on the policies. Apart from the premium, check out the fund management and administration fees. Let the insurance agent take you through the costs involved before deciding.

Choose a Reputable Insurer

It is important to note that the company or insurance agent you work with can influence your decisions. Ensure that you find a reputable and established insurer before choosing the policies. A company such as Demont Insurance gives you options to choose from and buy the right policies.

Do Not Go Overboard

You should remain within your financial lines even when the policy terms are tempting. You should only purchase the insurance policies that suit your needs or those of your family. You should avoid buying policies just because they are available.

Always Seek Professional Guidance

As much as finding a reputable insurance company is crucial, you still need proper guidance when choosing an insurance policy. It will work in your favor when you seek professional help and guidance before deciding. You will avoid making costly mistakes when you have a professional to refer to when you have questions or doubt your decisions.

Buying insurance is one way of protecting yourself, your property, and your loved ones. However, you need to make informed decisions when choosing the insurance policies. You need the right avenue and strategies to achieve your objectives.
