BROWMOTICONS: The Language of Brows

BROWMOTICONS: 

The Language of Brows

"Kilay is Life?" then you should read on.

Scientists have finally figured out why we have eyebrows. According to recent findings, highly mobile eyebrows evolved from the heavy brow bridge common among our ancient ancestors to help modern humans communicate better, non-verbally.

It seems surprising that science is only just backing up what a lot of brow aficionados have already known for years—brows speak volumes about you. A subtle arch can reflect your inner mental landscape. A simple furrow can express emotional turmoil. Are your brows perfectly shaped and groomed? It could imply your attention to detail and grooming habits. Do you have unruly brows in serious need of a tweeze? Maybe it was a busy week and you need to unwind. Confusion, surprise, happiness, hostility, interest, joy, playfulness, anger—your eyebrows can say it all.

Add this to the fact that expertly shaped brows can flatter your face shape as well as accentuate your facial features and it makes sense how brows have now become an intrinsic part of your grooming routine. And that’s why Happy Brows is putting a lot of focus not just on creating brows that perfectly frame your face; they’re doing so with an understanding of the truth that brows can communicate.

“Happy Brows began the Speak With It campaign to put a lot of focus on just how important our brows are. Brows are the ultimate truth-tellers and it can speak volumes about who you are, what you’re thinking and how you feel. Hinging off that, we’re introducing the concept of Browmoticons to visually illustrate the true language of brows,” explains Arvin Amaro, Marketing Head.

Brow-lentine!

Brows with a little more sex appeal features a distinctive arch and are a little closer to each other. Define your arch for a sassy vibe and be sure to create a gentle fade as it moves outward to ensure that your brows don’t look too severe.

Brow-matic

Relaxed and neutral brows communicate ease and happiness. Brows ride naturally over the eyes with a defined arch to communicate a more cheerful vibe. Fuller brows also illustrate youthfulness that makes the look more natural.

Strawberry de Cantipla Eco Farm

Strawberry de Cantipla 

Eco Farm

Byahe na tayo! Alam nyo ba na hindi lang sa Benguet tumutubo ang mga strawberries? Yes! May ilang malalamig na lugar kung saan pwede na sila tumubo at maparami. Nung mga nakaraang buwan ay akin nang napuntahan ang Strawberry farm sa Dalaguete, Cebu. Ngayon naman ay sa Busay, Cebu ko ito nakita. Ito ang Strawberry de Cantipla Eco Farm. Malamig ang klima sa Busay, Cebu kaya naman hindi nakapagtataka na maaring mabuhay dito ang mga strawberries. 

Nakilala ko ang may-ari ng farm na si Mr. Ariel Ugsimar. Nagumpisa syang marapami ang kanyang strawberries sa isang parte ng lupain sa Brgy. Cantipla. Hindi lang strawberries ang kanyang mga pananim kundi mga "Guapple" (guava-apple), bell peppers, at iba pa. Ipinakita nya rin sa amin ang dalawang puno ng mansanas na kanya nang napalaki mula lamang sa buto. Tunay nga na napaka ganda at mataba ang lupa na maaring matamnan sa lugar na iyon. Nagsimulang buksan sa publiko ang kanyang farm noong April 2018. Sa ngayon, may entrance fee ito na 40 pesos for adults at 20 pesos para sa mga bata na gustong pumunta rito at mamasyal. 

Mula sa kayang Strawberry Farm ay patok din ang kanyang Strawberry Snack Hauz. Maraming specialty snacks na syempre pa ay gawa mula sa Strawberries! Mayron silang Strawberry Ice Cream, Strawberry-Mango Float, Strawberry Leche Flan, Strawberry Shake, at marami pang iba pati na rin ang Burger with Strawberry?!?! Yes! Mayroon sila nyan! 

Strawberry Mango Float

Strawberry Leche Flan

Natakam ba kayo? Abot kaya ang mga presyo ng kanilang mga inihahain dito. Napakasarap din dahil hindi tinipid sa lasa ng strawberries lalo na ang kanilang Strawberry Shake. Kakaibang lasa na  kahit medyo malayo sa syudad ang lugar na ito ay babalik-balikan. 

Exact location: Sitio Cantipla, Brgy. Tabunan, Cebu City (National Transcentral Highway) - about 1 hour away from Cebu City
