Time to work and play with Taiwan Excellence

The Philippine Statistics Authority reported last March that eight million Filipinos are overworked. They work well beyond the required 48 hours per week—equivalent to one additional day, which inhibits quality time with family, adequate sleep, and general well-being. These statistics suggest that Filipinos should take a step back and strive to strike a balance between their professional and personal lives.

The Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) is pleased to present innovative products that have been developed to help achieve a better work-life balance. Through its Taiwan Excellence campaign, TAITRA introduces wonderful products that boost quality of life.

WHEN SHOPPING IS BAD FOR YOU

International Pop Star Rihanna was once quoted in an interview- “Making music is like shopping for me. Every song is like a new pair of shoes.” The pop star was on point— the recent launch of her line of cosmetics (culled from her last name) was a hit among beauty gurus and make-up lovers worldwide. Women snapped up bottles of foundation, highlighter and lip gloss from Rihanna’s line almost immediately.

And as the shopping season moves into full-swing with the holidays just around the corner, the thrill of buying that much-coveted item or snagging a product on sale will be heightened.

“Shopping gives us a rush. There’s a positive emotion, the feeling of pleasure after buying an item, especially if it is something you’ve been wanting to have for a long time,” says psychiatrist Dr. Maria Bernadette Arcena.

Arcena says the thrill of shopping, even the occasional impulse buy is perfectly fine and normal. However, when that positive emotion turns into an urge that you find irresistible and hard to suppress, it may be a sign of a more serious problem.
