Provident Mom Picks: V Comb

Head lice and nits are one of the common health problems encountered at home, especially among children.

My daughter Aisha once had a problem with head lice and it began when she began studying in Kindergarten. I don’t know where she got it but we all know that head lice are like a virus. We can get it because of our interaction with people who have it. It took me a year to look for a remedy for it. Don’t get me wrong, we tried different kinds of shampoos to treat the problem and we use a “suyod”- a fine-teeth comb very popular here in the Philippines to remove them from the hair.

And then while I was researching online, I once saw an advertisement about this product allegedly effective in eliminating head lice and nits, V-Comb by Licetec. I watched videos and read reviews about it and I eventually was convinced to buy.

I searched were to shop for it and it can be bought in online stores like Shopee. Personally, I bought mine from this store.

The V Comb is electrically-operated and works like a suyod but with an added feature which is the vacuum. It was difficult to use it at the first try and it may seem to appear that it doesn’t work but after a few tries, I managed to get used to it.

True enough, it removed even the lice that stick to the hair. Even the dead lice that are hard to remove were vacuumed by the V Comb. It will take patience to get the hang of it, but it works well.

The only thing that you need to be careful of with this product is the comb itself because it sometimes removes or cut some hairs, especially the one that are tangled. Just comb your hair well before using it.

I recommend this to those who have problems with head lice and nits.

'PAG-IBIG MP2 Enrollment and Payment Made Easy

Happy New Year! I know. It's been almost 2 years since my last post . Things got so hectic for the last 2 years. There were a lot of adjustments when it comes to work since everything has shifted to the new normal. Curse the pandemic! Almost 2 years ago, I created a blogpost on Why and How to Start Investing in PAG-IBIG MP2 Savings Program but honestly, I wasn't able to start saving through the MP2 because I really thought that I still need to submit the application form to the PAG-IBIG office to start paying the contributions.

Why you should join the Philippine Red Cross membership program?

I was supposed to write about this last month but I waited for the cards to arrive and I also got busy with work. Finally have the time to write about this! Last month, our local Red Cross went to our work place and offered us membership to their program/organization. I immediately applied for it since I like the benefits that goes along with it. I was also able to apply for my daughter so she gets the same benefit as mine. There are many types of membership. I applied for the Classic membership for my daughter who is 5 years old (Classic is for students only) for an annual fee of P60.00 only and Premier Bronze for myself for an annual fee of P150.00. Yes, that's how cheap it is! Our membership has accidental, disablement, and dismemberment benefits, burial benefit, and hospital daily allowance as you can see on the photo below. Some of you might say, it's just waste of money. I see it differently. It's actually preparing for something you are not p...

FICCO Healthcare Program: Most Affordable HMO in the Philippines

As a mother and homemaker, my top priority is always my daughter. That is the reason why I am very much into investments and insurances. I want to protect her, her home, and her future. There are so many what-ifs in life and these double once we get married and have children. Just like any other aspect of our lives, our family life is not always high. Sometimes we experience challenges and problems and most often than not, we are not prepared for it. But there are certain things that we can actually prepare for. One of which is something to do with our health. These days, the food that we eat and the environment that we are in can give us sickness. And when it comes to health problems, it can drain our finances and we can even go into debts just to pay for the cost of medicines, check-ups, and (knock on wood) hospitalizations. Getting an HMO these days is no longer a luxury. It is a necessity, especially for average-income generating families like ours who could not afford the...
