Actress Carla Abellana and DJ Bea Fabregas may seem different from one another but one of the things they have in common is that they’ve both gone through personal upheavals.
For Carla, it’s been her separation from her estranged husband Tom Rodriguez and while we don’t know what really happened between the two of them, what we’re sure of is that the actress is doing her best to move on. For Bea, it’s motherhood and the changes it has made to her life and body.
Carla learned new hobbies like making soaps and candles during the pandemic to keep herself occupied.
“I took time off social media and it was good. I spent time with my family and friends, and that helped keep my mental health in check. I also worked out and spent time with my dogs,” said Carla during her launch as the first Filipino celebrity endorser of Collagen by Watsons Booster Essence.
Self-care is, of course, very important to the actress. Carla said her grandmother always taught her to rest and drink lots of water, and this is advice that she follows to this day.
Her beauty philosophy is “less is more” when it comes to beauty and her skin-care routine includes cleansing, toning, and moisturizing. Carla uses Collagen by Watsons Booster Serum with her moisturizer and also sometimes combines it with other serums.
The serum is formulated with super ingredients like nourishing tri-collagen, detoxifying green collagen, regenerating hydrolyzed collagen, and marine collagen. Collagen by Watsons Booster Serum is also designed to function as a preessence and as a booster. It can also be used as a makeup primer.
Carla is also very busy with the construction of her new house. “In 2018, I was able to buy a lot in a village I had been eyeing…. Construction started last March. Progress has been fast. I hope I can move in a year,” said Carla. “The expenses are crazy, from the materials to the equipment. But thankfully, kinakaya naman.”
Meanwhile, host, DJ, wife, mom and social media star Bea Fabregas recently talked about an undergarment that molds and adapts to the uniqueness of her body, giving her permission to flex with freedom. On her social-media platforms, weight loss and motherhood are things Bea always talks about.
“When I’m at the gym and I work on myself and I’m literally flexing, I’m proud. I’m working on myself to be healthy for my family,” said Bea, whose son Tyler looks just like her.
Motherhood has helped change Bea a lot and these days, she has found that positivity and self-love is always important. This she does by looking into a mirror and speaking good things to herself.
One of the things Bea talked about during the launch of Triumph’s Flex Smart—a collection of coordinating pieces centered around an innovative new bra concept that supports and adapts to women’s bodies—was flexing.
“Flexing is being passionate about what you have done and achieved. There isn’t arrogance to it,” said Bea. Flexing, to her, means “being authentic and true.”
Triumph Flex Smart, from lingerie maker Triumph, has flex inserts that are positioned to follow movements and expertly adapt to provide support, while also providing a feminine and sensual look. The flex inserts are so supportive that Triumph Flex Smart is even suitable for light exercise such as yoga or Pilates.
The non-wired bra features an ultra-lightweight, temperature-regulating fabric with non-crease cups, so that it is easy to roll up and store or pack away. The infinity edge neckline sits close to the body and the smooth finishes make it invisible under clothes. The matching ergonomically-cut maxi briefs are designed to flatter and flex to movement. With soft touch, temperature-regulating fabric, they are an ideal everyday brief.
Also available in the Flex Smart collection is a vest, pull-on non-wired bra, sold exclusively online; long-sleeved top and leggings.
These features give Bea the support she needs as she switches between multiple roles, making her way through hectic schedules.
Triumph Flex Smart is available in small to extra-large, covering X traditional sizes. Colors include Stone, Morandi Grey, Soft Mauve and Aubergine.
