Ninja </strong><strong>Blast Portable Blender</strong>, Php 4,495, Shop <a href="https://sharkninja.com.ph/products/ninja-blast-portable-blender" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a></p><p>Who says you can&#x27;t be healthy while you&#x27;re on the go? We love Ninja&#x27;s Blast Portable Blender, a great way to make sure you&#x27;re getting your serving of nutritious smoothies while you&#x27;re out of town or traveling to a new city. You&#x27;ll never know what kind of food you&#x27;re going to have during a trip, so it&#x27;s best to make sure you have a handy tool to help you get your five servings of fresh fruit and veggies easily. This product is not just handy, it also boasts of a quiet machine that can blast through frozen fruit and ice effortlessly. </p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747655603620Screen_Shot_2025-05-19_at_7.52.19_PM-removebg-preview.png" style="width:300px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p><strong>4. Spingle Move in White/Beige Unisex Sneakers</strong>, Php 13,200, Shop <a href="https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/pdp-i2623292936.html?spm=a2o4l.store_product.list.155.4dbe17c7D9xpF4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a></p><p>It&#x27;s become common practice for travelers to show off the number of steps they&#x27;ve achieved when discovering cities on foot. A quick snapshot of one&#x27;s smartwatch or smartphone shows an easy 20,000 steps done in cities like Tokyo or Bangkok, and it surely gives us a sense of achievement and pride. While getting your steps in is very cool, hurting your feet with the wrong footwear is not. This is where Spingle comes in—a heritage Japanese sneaker brand that prides itself on vulcanized soles and shoes designed for walking long distances. We love the Spingle Move, a mid-height cut sneaker in white and beige that looks great with every traveler&#x27;s outfit on the go. </p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747656094497Screen_Shot_2025-05-19_at_8.00.02_PM-removebg-preview.png" style="width:500px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p><strong>5. The Balm Travel-Size Classics</strong>, Php 1,995, Shop <a href="https://beautybar.com.ph/collections/all/products/thebalm-travel-sized-classics-20069163-01#" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a><strong></strong></p><div>I&#x27;m the type of Beauty Editor who doesn&#x27;t take her entire vanity dresser with her when she travels. Unlike what you&#x27;d expect, I have a pretty reasonable amount of makeup and skincare products that I bring with me on travels, just because I don&#x27;t like carrying extra unnecessary weight in my luggage! Here&#x27;s a great makeup kit that has you covered minus the big, bulky packaging. The Balm at Beauty Bar offers Travel-Size Classics that include a mascara, blush, highlighter, and bronzer/contour—all packed in one convenient pouch!<br/><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747656324056Screen_Shot_2025-05-19_at_8.04.36_PM-removebg-preview.png" style="width:599px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747657024960Screen_Shot_2025-05-19_at_8.15.56_PM-removebg-preview.png" style="width:500px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p><strong>6. Human Nature Natural Mineral Sunscreen SPF 60</strong>, Php 332.26, Shop <a href="https://humanheartnature.com/buy/sun-care.html?srsltid=AfmBOooL1mpmuNbSKB-exddwocofVSGOAJMqfaA-rrc_ZSl246kKm4g6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a> </p><p>Whether you&#x27;re traveling or not, a major must-have is a good sun protection product. Save yourself some cash by bringing your own, as convenience stores and souvenir shops tend to charge a bit more for SPF. One pick we love is Human Nature&#x27;s new Natural Mineral Sunscreen, which is reef safe, has a formula that protects from signs of aging, and has a broad spectrum coverage.  </p><p>What is Mineral Sunscreen, you ask? Rather than absorbing UV rays, it sits like an invisible shield, forming a protective barrier that physically blocks UV rays from causing damage. The best part? It immediately starts working after you apply it. Mineral sunscreens typically contain natural ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, both recognized as “safe and effective” by the US FDA. These ingredients provide broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, keeping your skin safe from sunburn and long-term damage.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:600px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747657433083photo 1.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">Human Nature Natural Mineral Sunscreen</span></span></span></div>
