We’re always hearing how a certain vitamin or herbal supplement will cure a chronic condition or drastically improve the quality of our lives. However, information about dietary supplements is often confusing or unclear. It’s hard to know which offer genuine health benefits and which are merely giving false promises, or worse, running the risk of actually damaging your health. By learning all you can about vitamins and supplements, you can make better choices about those that are right for you.

The Gourmand Market

Desserts sometimes make my day, and I've got excited to try the nearest Farmacy Ice Cream and Soda Fountain Bar, just next to my work building. It was opened last November 2014, and its refreshing to have some scoops of frozen delights and a smattering soda concoctions.

Hello loves! It's been quite awhile after my recent restaurant / foodie feature noh? :D It's not an excuse but your girl has been so busy juggling with her works and continuous projects. Still it is a blessings! Being busy is good, it gives me reason to function and do my best well. Also another good news to you guys - our website, For Urban Women is starting to get attention from the international prestigious events (we've got an accreditation from BaselWorld, yey!) and some international PR Agencies. So these only means more work, more busy schedule, and no reason to procrastinate, hahaha. Goodluck to me!

Hello Urban Women!

How's your weekend so far?

It's been a busy weekend for us, attended some client meetings, catching up with friends, and most importantly preparing some blog-post to keep you updated on everything we find.

Anyway, how many of you loves gelatos? 

I'm guilty. I love gelatos. It's not too sweet than a regular ice cream and I love it. So few weeks ago, after our lunch at Wrong Ramen (located at Forbestown, Bonifacio Global City) we just hopped to Bar Dolci, just few steps away from Wrong Ramen. We are so spontaneous that day (I don't know why :D ). We are honestly overwhelmed with these favours! Oh if only we can grab all of it, hahaha

Bar Dolci is quite nice, luckily it's noontime so the place is not crowded - actually we are the only crowd. It was really good being with cool friends! 

They have these great favours like Pistachio, Black Forest, Milky Cookies, Brown Butter Pecan (ohh I love this!), Vanilla (I'm not a vanilla-kind of lady), Bubble Gum, Chocolate Rhum Truffle, Cappuccino, and others... for just a minimum of Php130 per scoop

Everything is doing exciting and good... when suddenly one of their male staff sprayed some orange-scented air-fresher (I believe its a GLADE brand) inside the store, and totally freaks me out! I don't know what comes in his mind when he did that. He know's that there are customers EATING! Is he trying to poison us?!

I felt very disappointed and irritated. I am very much particular with food preparations and safety. So I immediately grabbed my friends out, before one of us got poisoned. Gosh, Bar Dolci management should review their food safety and staff training too. 

Are they not trained to value their customers and make them feel safe too??? Are they just exist to sell their gelatos and do plain business, and doesn't care about security and health safety???

 I am disappointed. I admit that I like their gelatos, but having experienced this kind of  issue? I"d definitely not coming back, unless they change into better.
