A New Running Sensation

There's a buzz about an innovative new running shoe in the country. New runners and seasoned runners are busy trying on this running sensation, because of the shoe’s unique CloudTec 3D cushioning: a sensation compared to “running on clouds”, due to the innovative design which protects the body against the stresses of running while also helping to enhance performance.

Chris Sports is the official distributor of On-Running. Price: Php 7995 for the Cloudsurfer, Php 8295 for the Cloudrunner. I was torn between the two colors, I'm delighted to have tried both but still undecided which to get. Suggestion?

I'm open on embracing a new and "unknown" brand in search of a better running shoe that can help prevent injury for I'm going to take my running on a higher level next year. I was very impressed on the shoe’s unique feel. The On Running differs from traditional cushioning by absorbing both the vertical and horizontal forces that stress a runner’s body so reducing impact on muscles and joints. The shoe’s flexible sole and low heel activate the postural muscles, providing the cushioning needed to run fast and long, while allowing the foot’s muscles to improve by themselves. This is probably why they say "running on clouds" because it literally feels like it, so soft and light.

• Light Sheer Diode’s advantage over other laser hair removal treatments? Its longer wavelength penetrates deeper into the skin, destroying hair follicles better, which impairs the hair’s ability to grow back.

• After each session, significantly less hair grows back, resulting in permanent hair reduction.

• Diode Laser can leave your skin smoother and softer.

• For best results, 6 to 8 sessions are recommended. However, result varies on the client and depends on the number of sessions.

Best Purple Gown

Here's a purple gown that won in the recently concluded Miss Resorts World Manila, worn by Liezl Verses. I like the material used by the designer, it was light and flowing, much like the material they use for handkerchief. Liezl, carried the won so well, salute to her!
