Hey, long time no see. It's been 14 months since I've blogged, and I am so disappointed in myself, I mean honestly you guys. I definitely didn’t expect my blogging hiatus to last this long, it’s just that lots of things had happened in the last 14 months. I've been practicing my cooking and videography skills. I started a YouTube channel and a small plant business. We've moved to our newly built house and all that stuff you probably don't care about. It all happened in the 14 months that I'm gone, and I am happy to be back.
I’m a massive procrastinator and it actually requires a level of concentration. Actually, I’ve written this post many times, as I’ve planned to comeback many times throughout the ber-months of 2021, however it wasn’t possible. But now I’m sure that I’m ready to get back into the swing of things, armed with a whole slew of new ideas and interesting topics to write about.
Oh well, I don’t want to make a really long post as I’m not sure if you guys even remember me, or if someone is even going to read this post ‘coz I knew that a couple things happen when you go on a blogging hiatus. First, the stats take a hit – the longer you are away from your blog, the lower they dip. Second, you begin to lose momentum – the longer you are away from your blog, the harder it is to return. Makes sense, right?
Blogging isn’t as popular as it used to be but I do enjoy the process of it and the work that goes into it. It gives me so much creative freedom I’d never have on social platform owned by someone else. I don’t really own my account on Instagram, on Pinterest, on Facebook or on my other social media accounts, but I do own ItsJulieAnn.com
And regardless of what life throws my way, or how many breaks I take, I always keep coming back to my first love -- blogging.
I’m really excited to tell you something I’ve been doing the past few months that has truly boosted my confidence and literally brought a brighter smile to my face!
I’m a big fan of smiling. I think that smiling can do wonders in so many situations and can go a long way in making you look more approachable, whether you’re trying to win over a friend or charm a business client. It helps you build better and stronger relationships with the people around you especially of you have a set of perfect white teeth just like celebrities.
Bright white teeth not only make you look beautiful but also boost your self-confidence. It is also a sign of health and beauty but for some people it’s a dream that stays illusive. Simultaneously, people who have stained, yellow teeth tend to avoid smiling or speaking in public, it can significantly impact their personal life, especially when embarrassed by the appearance of their teeth.

Bright white teeth not only make you look beautiful but also boost your self-confidence. It is also a sign of health and beauty but for some people it’s a dream that stays illusive. Simultaneously, people who have stained, yellow teeth tend to avoid smiling or speaking in public, it can significantly impact their personal life, especially when embarrassed by the appearance of their teeth.
Everyone wants whiter teeth, right? Including me, of course. But, those years of wine and tea drinking take their toll on my teeth and before long my pearly whites are covered with yellow stains that I can't seem to quite get rid of no matter how much dental products I tried. Luckily, there is a simple and affordable solution for stained and yellowed teeth; the White Republic Smart Teeth Whitening System Kit.
The Complete Teeth Whitening Kit from White Republic is designed to give you results from the first application.
The kit contains:
- 1x Activating Light
- 3x Whitening Pens
- 1x Desensitizing Gel
- 1x Shade Guide
- 1x User Manual
- 1x Pouch Bag
1x Shade Guide, 3x Whitening Pens, 1x Desensitizing Gel 
1x Activating Light
The White Republic Teeth Whitening kits are easy to use at home and you don't need to prepare or mix anything. You can start right away. They're easy to use - simply apply some teeth whitening gel evenly on your teeth after brushing your teeth. Connect the activating light tray to your smartphone or power bank then wear it and turn it on. It's recommended to use the whitening kit for 16 minutes or when the activating light mouth tray automatically turns off to achieve the best results.
The mouth trays are flexible to ensure a comfortable fit and maximum performance. The whitening pens contains Carbamide Peroxide which is a powerful whitening agent that penetrates tooth enamel to lift stains. It is a faster acting ingredient that is perfectly suited to at-home teeth whitening.
I am currently halfway through my treatment and I am so impressed as I haven’t felt any sensitivity on my teeth, which I do usually feel with other teeth whitening products. I am very excited to see my final results as half way through and I’ve already seen a difference!
Before you can love another, you really do need to fall in love with yourself. When you do fall in love with yourself, several interesting things happen and you receive more love in return. When you exude confidence and happiness, you’ll attract others with the same zest for living. It is essential to your own happiness, to your success in relationships and to the way you interact with the world.
When you truly love yourself enough, other people’s opinions can’t get you down anymore because you’ve realized your own value. You gain a deep appreciation of your own worth and capabilities. You see that you’re awesome, and they’re the ones who are wrong if they disagree. You knew that you are here to understand yourself...not to be understood.
When you truly love yourself enough you will never settle for less. You will not accept a type of love that is less than what you deserve. You’ll start feeling worthy, valuable and deserving of the best love and life has to offer. You are worthy of a beautiful life.
When you truly love yourself enough, you will believe that you’re beautiful the way you are. That you’re free from every illusion of insecurity. You will become so proud of your own skin because you believed that there are so much strength and beauty in your flaws and in your scars. That you are worthy of being spellbound by your own divinity. That you are deserving of remembering that you are a goddess in disguise.
When you truly love yourself enough, nothing could, or ever will break your heart and in every inch of your existence. The eternal you are untouchable. Your pain does not make you less worthy. You’ll let your self-love become your salvation as you rise in the darkness.
However, another person can never do all of these things for you. You have to do them for yourself. Remember, self-love is our natural state of being.
This pandemic has shaken our world to its core -- it is constantly challenging us in many ways,
both as individuals and as a community. The overwhelming effects of this global crisis may
seem insurmountable, yet a whisper of hope persists and continues to grow stronger, letting us
know this crisis is not impossible to recover from.

This pandemic has shown us a tremendous amount of hope in womankind. It’s no secret that
through history, women have continued to inspire with a brand of bravery that’s empathetic,
persistent, and unapologetically themselves. In this new normal, as we are all forced in a new
environment we need to adapt to, we see a new brand of bravery from women also emerging.
Embrace #TheNewBrave
Whisper’s call to action during this new normal is #TheNewBrave campaign. In these changing
times where bravery no longer means the same, Whisper celebrates the new bravery women
have embraced in this pandemic by adapting to the situation. Developing a new hobby, learning
new skills to complement their work life demands, learning how to relax and gain new self-care
practices, and reawakening older interests are just some of the things women are doing to step
into #TheNewBrave.
#TheNewBrave is not about defeating struggle; #TheNewBrave encourages women to embrace
their vulnerability because we know that discomfort is temporary and growth awaits us on the
other side of our struggle.
This campaign is about finding joy and victory in the small things, believing in our strength, and
celebrating who we’ve become. #TheNewBrave is about thriving and growing through the
pavement, learning how to bloom where we are planted.
Today, we are brave; Tomorrow, we are braver -- and on days when it feels like we’re taking a
step back, #TheNewBrave mindset reminds us that even though our growth isn’t linear and all
our paths are unique, we are growing and getting stronger all the same.
Be Brave When You Need It Most
Whisper’s campaign aims to amplify #TheNewBrave at a time when people are most afraid of
life’s uncertainties.

PRESS RELEASE
Women understand physical and emotional pain because it comes to us every month in varying
degrees which has developed a brand of bravery that’s rooted in empathy. Now, more than
ever, the world needs this culture of empathy and acceptance so others can get involved in
finding their new bravery as well.
Whisper’s 3x better protection* holds space for our most vulnerable moments as women,
allowing us to move freely during our periods. The Whisper Pink (Cottony Soft) variant comes
with dermacare lotion which helps reduce skin allergy, moisturizes and reduces friction, and
improves the skin barrier. Whisper helps enable women to still embrace #TheNewBrave and be
the best that they can be even during even their most difficult cycles.
Whisper’s support extends beyond its already impressive pads with 3x better protection. More

Since the COVID-19 national lockdowns began, the term “frontliners” has emerged to capture the vast number of people who are still valiantly reporting to their job sites and risking their personal health to keep the economy in motion while the rest of us are safe in our own home. Yet the term itself is informal; the term has been used in many recent government announcements as officials introduce new measures to stop the spread of COVID-19
Most of us continue to rely on media stories and our experiences in daily life to identify frontliners such as military and health care providers. But there are millions of more workers on the frontlines like sanitation agents, news reporters, and food crews that are also working in stressful and frightening work environments that some of us may not see and failing to recognize. Despite the hardships and health risk, they earn significantly lower wages and few benefits while receiving less public recognition for their roles, despite their sacrifices.
I'm so grateful that despite the negative news thriving on social media, there's a platform like The Frontliner Today that exists to document and share narratives of resilience by Filipino people online. A platform that leverages the power of social media that not only sells services but inspires and supports people and communities through the power of story.
