Just recently, I accepted the 7-day challenge of Jergens
Skin Care Moisturizers. I’ve known about Jergens ever since I was young. My
parents and also my grandparents are a fan of this brand, and it’s no wonder
why I won’t be too. Jergens have been part of every Filipino skin care,
especially their lotions. Now that they have improved the formulation of their
products, who wouldn’t want to try it? And with that, Jergens came up with a
challenge.
The Jergens 7-day challenge is open for bloggers – I am not
sure if non-bloggers can participate too. Anyway, the bloggers who accepted the
challenge will receive a welcome kit and their daily challenge will be sent through
text message and email. I am so excited what my first challenge will be!
I will be updating this post once I’m done with every challenge. Watch out for it! And for the meantime, do visit and like Jergens FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/JERGENSph.Vibelle/timeline

Here’s the
welcome kit that I received from Jergens. I was surprised to see that the
package is kinda big only to see that there’s a full size lotion, a cream, and
a tumbler inside. And since I don’t know what I should do with it – even though
I was tempted to use the lotion already – I kept it inside the closet and wait
for the first challenge.

Mission No.1: Radiate Beauty From Within: Take a bottle of Jergens from your welcome pack and share it with a complete stranger. Tell us why you chose that person and share with us her reaction when she receivedyour gift, and post a photo of her with her Jergens bottle.

Mission No.2 Left vs Right: Apply the new Jergens only on your left arm and leave the right arm bare for the meantime. Take a photo of both arms, comparing the two and tell us your observations.
The challenge is very clear, so I applied the new Jergens on my left arm and leave the right arm bare. If I will only show a photo of both of my arms, you'll barely see the difference. That's why I did a close-up shot as much as possible. I'll let you observe the difference.
As for my observation and experience, my left arm is less dry than my right arm. It's much softer and smoother. Jergens gives instant moisture to my skin and look fresh. Plus, even with the improved formulation, the signature relaxing scent of Jergens is still there.
Tip of the day: Dryness prevents light from reflecting off of your skin, making it look dull and dark. Jergens, with its new Hydralucence blend, instantly moisturizes skin and keeps it hydrated, giving you the fresh just-got-out-of-the-shower look throughout the day.

Mission No.3 Keep Hydrated: Water is good for your body and helps your skin healthy and looking young as well. Drink only water today using your Jergens tumbler. Post a photo with a time stamp every time you do a refill.
Jergens Skincare Tip of the Day: Dehydration makes your skin look more dry and wrinkled. Drinking plenty of water regularly keeps your skin refreshed and hydrated. You can also help lock moisture into your skin by using your favorite Jergens variant twice a day to reveal your most beautiful skin yet.

Mission
No.4 NURTURE RELATIONSHIPS: Something's in the mail! Keeping healthy
relationships go a long way to making you feel good and look good. Take
your mom or your best gal pal out for a surprise lunch or dinner tonight with
this gift certificate from Cabalen, on us.
I was really confused the day I received the gift certificates of Cabalen. I know for a fact that I didn't won - let alone joined - any contest or anything. Until I received my fourth mission. So my best gal pal and me watched a movie today and had coffee. And having dinner at Cabalen sounds like a good idea!
Jergens Skincare Tip of the Day: As you nurture your relationships, nourish your skin as well for a beauty that radiates inside and out. Apply your favorite Jergens twice a day to reveal your most beautiful skin yet.

a quick giveaway on my Facebook page, well now you know that it is my mission

Mission No. 6 Healthy Habits: A healthy diet is needed to keep your body strong and your skin beautiful. Share with us a family recipe using ingredients that are good for the skin.
Ingredients:
4 cups green beans, trimmed (about 12 ounces)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup minced garlic
2 teaspoons paprika
1 pound raw shrimp, (21-25 per pound; see Note), peeled and deveined
2 16-ounce cans large butter beans, or cannellini beans, rinsed
1/4 cup sherry vinegar, or red-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, divided
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Preparation:
- Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Put green beans in a steamer basket, place in the pan, cover and steam until tender-crisp, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and paprika and cook, stirring constantly, until just fragrant but not browned, about 20 seconds. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Stir in beans, vinegar and salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup parsley.
- Divide the green beans among 6 plates. Top with the shrimp mixture. Sprinkle with pepper and the remaining 1/4 cup parsley.
Honestly, we don't have a 'family recipe' but we always follow this one from eatingwell. This is a very healthy food and at the same time, perfect to those who are trying to loose weight and on a diet. ^^
