Christian music nights are a great way to ensure that people get to enjoy their night out while still following in line with what their religion teaches.

If you’re worried about yours feeling stale or out of date, these are the top five options to help you kick it up a notch!

1- Theme The Night Around an Era of Music

If you want to create an unforgettable night, consider theming the night around an era of music.  Christian music has changed a lot in the last hundred years, so pick a period that people can dress up as, like the seventies or fifties, and find performers that can play music to suit that era.  Not only will it be fun for the performers, but also those attending will love the chance to dress up and cut loose for a while.

2- Reach Out to Younger Audiences 

Younger audiences often feel left out in Christian music since a lot of it can feel like it was made for older audiences.  If you want to draw in younger crowds, consider getting musicians who perform things they want to hear.  This could mean Christian rap artists, Christian pop singers, or other musicians with modern sounds with lyrics that remind them of the importance of the church.

3- Develop a Promo Plan to Reach More People

Reaching as many people as possible will give you a higher chance at hopefully finding a broad audience who will be interested in attending your Christian music night!  This could mean advertising thoroughly on social media, or it could be a plan that asks the performers to advertise by offering them a cut of the drinks sold that night on top of their pay. 

4- Put Out Polls to Find What People Are Wanting

Putting out polls to your usuals will help you learn what they're interested in and hopefully gear future nights to offer some of that.  These polls should ask what they like that you've done so far, what they're interested in seeing in the future, and what they think would draw more people into the fold.  You don't have to use every idea they give you, but take them into consideration! 

5- Offer Non-Alcoholic Themed Drinks

Although alcohol can be used as a social lubricant, you may have a far smaller demand for this type of drink at a Christian music night.  Instead, consider offering a wide array of nonalcoholic-themed drinks that are either based on the musical act or on whatever theme you chose for the night!  This can be a great way to sell more drinks while making it a more immersive and fun environment for everyone. 

Your Next Christian Music Night Can be a Hit!

Whether this is your first Christian music night, or you hold one every month: it's important to plan and consider what you can do to boost it!  These five ideas give you the chance to create a night that's magical and interesting while also hopefully drawing more people in, so don't be afraid to try some of them!

SURF FABCON 

Ask any mom and they'll tell you the same thing.  Laundry isn't complete without ending it with a grand finale - using Surf Fabcon!  You may ask, can I skip this process?  For me personally speaking the answer is NO!  Not because nakasanayan na, but it's because your clothes benefit a lot form using fabcon after washing it with detergent.   It keeps the fresh laundered smell on your clothes, plus gives protection on your garments.  Depending on the variant of your chosen fabcon, it does more than making it smell good longer or protecting the fabric of your clothes.

I grew up with a very sweet tooth.  I think I got it from my mother and now my kids got it from me!  One of our favorite chocolate brands is Meiji.  My eldest who's now an 18yo young man grew up with Hello Panda!  After coming from work, I would always bring home a pasalubong and he'd always be excited when I bring home a Meiji Hello Panda!

From then until now with my third child, Meiji's been with them.  I'm so excited to share that this holiday season, Meiji brings joy this Christmas with discounts up to 30% off this December 5!

Here's a roundup of what Meiji products we enjoy these days:

Meiji Hello Panda Assorted Box 260g

It's one of the most-loved and best-selling brands of Meiji which was first released in 1979.  This big box contains 4 foil bags of Chocolate Flavor (26g each), 3 foil bags of Strawberry Flavor (26g each), and 3 foil bags of Milk Flavor (26g each).  I always love the surprise of every bite in the middle because the filling is really generous and tasty!  It has a cute panda design on its crunchy shell with a soft flavorful inside, great for snacks!

Taking care of the skin is one of my beauty musts since I was in my 20s. Back then, products with natural ingredients weren't popular or weren't a thing. Of course I didn't know much about the harmful components or chemical ingredients of the products I put on my face and body. If I had known, I wouldn't have used them and would have right away switched to products with all-natural ingredients and those that are eco-friendly too.

Here's a rundown of the things I love about Farmskin:

• Natural Ingredients and Eco-friendly- Farmskin carefully selects and partners directly with local farmers in Korea where majority of our natural and eco-friendly ingredients come from.

• Cruelty-free - All of Farmskin products are safe on animals.

• Wide-range of products - They have skincare, haircare, and hand and body care, and even gift items to offer. Medical supplies are even available in their site.

• Affordability - You will be surprised to know that their products are priced fairly. Farmskin gives you value-for-money products that are clean and effective.

• Good for all skin types - All their skincare products have different variants for different skin types - Normal, Dry, Sensitive, and Oily.

Did I tell you that Farmskin is now on Shopee? Yes I did right? I'm just excited to share this great news with you. They are also having a Grand Launch Sale where you could get up to 50% off when you add to cart and purchase until December 9.

So what are you waiting for? Check out their products and add to cart what you think fits your type of skin. For more information, follow them on Instagram and Facebook. Here is Farm Skin Official Store: https://shopee.ph/farmskin.  Happy Shopeeng! :) 

If you want to create a cinematic experience at home or simply want to enjoy your favorite songs in high-definition quality, then you’re going to need a good set of speakers. They determine whether your AV system will sound full-bodied and rich or like broken glass, so it’s in your best interests to find high-quality ones.

Home Speakers

To help you out, here are some things you want to remember when buying speakers:

The Sound Quality

One of the first things you have to consider about a speaker would be the sound quality. In fact, it can be argued that this should be everyone’s top priority for any audio output device. Of course, you also have to take into account your own tastes. Some people like a bit of extra bass, while some like the higher notes to be clearer.

The best way to determine a speaker’s sound quality is to visit a store personally. Bring your own music so you can get an accurate gauge of the audio experience. If you’d rather stay at home and order online, you can rely on reviews from trusted sources. Tech websites are some of your best bets, since they can break down the details of what makes a speaker good or bad. You can also look for consumer reviews for real-life feedback.

The Right Size

The bigger the room, the farther the sound waves have to travel to reach your ears. In short, you need bigger speakers (or at least multiple small ones in every corner). Most audio equipment manufacturers also have a recommended distance between speakers, so make it a point to follow it to achieve the best audio output.

This means you have to measure the space where you’re going to put the speakers. Make sure to allocate enough space between the wall and the back of the unit, as well as remove as many obstacles so the sound waves don’t “bounce” around too much.

What Do You Need Them For

You’re going to need different kinds of speakers depending on your listening needs. For example, if you want to upgrade your home theater system, a soundbar with a subwoofer would be the best option. Meanwhile, if you’re looking for speakers specifically for listening to music, then smaller, portable speakers with Bluetooth capabilities would probably suit your needs better.

There are also high-end, studio-grade equipment that give you high-quality, lossless, surround-sound audio. Obviously, this option is more expensive than your standard speakers and subwoofers. Nevertheless, if you’re really that particular about the audio output, then you won’t hesitate to invest in such accessories.

Mixing and Matching

When buying multiple speakers, it’s better if you stick to just one brand. This way, you can count on the same audio quality. However, when it comes to pairing speakers with subwoofers, it’s a good idea to mix and match. This is because speakers and subwoofers are different kinds of equipment. Thus, a manufacturer of one type of product won’t necessarily be an expert in making the other (and vice versa).

A good practice here is to always check reviews; if possible, visit the store and test the equipment for yourself.

Compatibility

If you’re buying a Bluetooth speaker for your mobile devices or music players, note that some older models of gadgets aren’t compatible with newer speakers. Make sure to check the compatibility of each device before making a purchase so you don’t waste your money.

Meanwhile, for speakers and subwoofers, make sure to buy amplifiers and/or receivers with the correct power output. If not, you may not be able to get good performance out of your speakers even if they’re the best ones in the market.

Type and Aesthetics

Last but certainly not least, don’t forget about your personal style preferences when buying speakers. They’re mostly a functional product, but they can still contribute to your home’s overall looks. They can also take a lot of space if you don’t choose a suitable style.

For Bluetooth or portable speakers, you have plenty of options such as tubular, rectangular, square, or round ones. There are also plenty of bright colors to choose from. Meanwhile, soundbars and other larger speakers as well as subwoofers tend to be black although they sometimes have casings that can come in different finishes like colored plastic or faux wood.

If you don’t have a lot of space, you mostly want to keep your speakers up and off the floor. However, there are some floor-standing models that are slim enough if you like their design. Floor-standing speakers also have better sound compared to other types, so make sure to factor this in when making your purchase.

Having poor-quality speakers can affect your enjoyment. Imagine watching your favorite movie with broken audio or listening to your favorite songs with harsh trebles. With good speakers, you can elevate your listening experience and fully appreciate videos and music.
