Growing Up Successful with the Help of ATC Evening Primrose

When we were young we’ve been bombarded with the question “what do you want to be when you grow up?”  And though it practically changed every year as we grew older, one thing’s for sure, we all wanted to be successful. Times has changed, modern women now has control over different aspects of our daily lives. You see women government leaders, CEO’s, and creators. Women pave paths for themselves now, we see women making rules instead of just blindly following rules made for them. 

I still remember that way back in high school that I had a bad case of PMS while taking the college entrance exams. It was really hard to focus and concentrate. Though this is something that we cannot avoid, we can't just simply allow this "girl thing" to stop us from becoming successful and give us unnecessary stress during the important phases of our lives. I know I could have gotten a better mark if I was feeling well that time. 

Now, I have the peace of mind that it won't happen again because of ATC Evening Primrose.


ATC Evening Primrose relieves premenstrual syndrome and breast pain associated with menstrual cycle. It also helps alleviate hot flashes caused by menopause and reduces symptoms of eczema and dermatitis. Each softgel capsule includes 487.5mg Evening Primrose Oil and 12.5mg Vitamin E. Recommended dosage is one softgel per day with warm water after meal. 

There are also researches that says Evening Primrose is used for preventing high blood pressure during pregnancy, asthma nerve damage, endometriosis, obesity, weight loss and hormonal imbalance. (Some of which I am guilty right now!)  

Thus, I would be always be thankful to ATC Evening Primrose because we can all be strong modern day women. Now, nothing will get in the way of doing what we love and we can now do well in it without worrying about "the girl thing" 


This is available in leading supermarkets and drugstores nationwide. Suggested retail price is Php 6.00 per softgel capsule. For more updates and promotions, you may visit their facebook page

Bacolod Blog Series: 21 Restaurant

Whenever you pass by Lacson Street here in Bacolod, one restaurant will definitely catch your attention because of the beautiful interior design visible from the windows. 21 Restaurant, whose name speaks for its location is near the 21st Street. 

It provides a fusion of Filipino delicacies combined with Italian and American favorites. It is a place ideal for cozy meetings while enjoying good food or even with just coffee and pastries. 

We came a round 12:30 pm and most of the lunch crowd had ordered their meals. Just a heads up, you might want to come in a little bit early since the food preparation may take some time. 

The food was good but nothing really fancy. We ordered Chicharon Bulaklak as starters.

 The Baby Back Ribs was quite sweet for me though it was really soft and tender.

Our experience was okay but was not also remarkable. We just liked the ambiance and location of this restaurant. They also have free WIFI. Recommended budget: Php 500/ person
