When you’re busy juggling tasks as a homemaker and philanthropist, it’s easy to get lost in the chaos.
Former businesswoman Linda Ley had to let go of her involvement in the business as she fulfills her full-time role as wife and mother to three kids.
“I love to cook and prepare gourmet meals for them,” Linda reveals. “I prepare everything before I leave the house and keep in constant touch with them.” She says she enjoys asking her kids what they’d like to eat on a given day, offering them a variety of menu options. “I make them chose between selection 1 and selection 2,” she shares.
Now that her children have grown and are of age, Linda is often seen at charities, events and society affairs. She takes most pride in her involvement with Angels to Street Kids, a non-profit organization founded some five years ago.
“Through Angels to Street Kids, we are able to organize feeding programs to underprivileged kids in Taguig, Tondo and other depressed areas,” Linda shares. “We also visit various homes for the aged and cancer-stricken kids.”
Even as she is busy Linda makes it a point to spend some ”me time” to recharge and pamper herself. She distinctly recalls what her mom would always tell her: “You always have to look good everywhere you go as you’ll never know who you’re going to bump into!” It’s a piece of advice that she follows faithfully to this day.
Her beauty regimen is quite simple. Linda makes sure to watch what she eats and indulges only in moderation. Also essential for her is getting the right amount of sleep—eight hours or more a day.
Since she hardly has the time with her busy schedule to visit the dermatologist regularly, she compensates by using Helix-D, a beauty skincare breakthrough, rich in water-magnet hydrators and anti-oxidants, that reduces fine lines and dark circles and provides all day moisturizing and skin hydration. “With daily use, I can see it how it has helped my skin a lot,” she beams.
And unlike, perhaps, most women her age, Linda has learned to embrace aging without hesitation. “Personally, I want to age gracefully. I would prefer that people say, ‘you look great for your age’ or ‘you look elegant.’ It’s about being comfortable with yourself and having that inner glow,” she ends with a smile.
