Kapuso star Asia's Acting Gem Glaiza De Castro has just arrived from a trip to Europe where she stayed for several months with her boyfriend Irish businessman David Rainey.

But what excited her the most was meeting the parents of her boyfriend the first time.

During an interview for her new beauty endorsement in Quezon City recently, Glaiza said she hopes David's family would visit the Philippines soon.

"Never pa nakapunta ang mga parents niya here. Close ang family niya. Affectionate sila sa isa't isa. Parang mga bata pa sila kung magkakasama. Yung mga parents niya affectionate rin sila sa akin," said Glaiza, who is currently seen in the popular Kapuso teleserye "Nagbabagang Luha."

The 33-year-old singer-actress revealed she learned something from meeting her boyfriend's family.

"To be honest kasi, kami sa family namin, hindi kami yung tipong mayakap pero through his family, I realized na maganda rin pala yung na e-express mo yung sarili mo, like nagsasabi ka ng 'I love you.' Nag-a 'I love you' na kami ngayon ng mommy ko dati hindi. Parang nahihiya kami gawin yun noon.

"Pero lately, yung time na umalis ako at tinatawagan ko si nanay, at nagku-kuwento ako ng mga bagay-bagay, nagsasabi na rin ako ng 'I love you.' Ang sarap pala sa pakiramdam yung nasasabi mo yun," Glaiza said.

She added: "Ang dami kong natututunan sa culture nila. Sa countryside, yung mga tao, halos magkakakilala na kayo. Naglalakad ka lang sa park tapos sasabihin nila yung nakakasalubong nila ng 'hello.' Mahilig kami sa outdoors. Sa UK gustong-gusto ko yung mga parks."

In Ireland, she rarely saw Filipinos there. "Sa Madrid, ang daming Pinoy."

Glaiza said that she and David have not finalized their wedding plans, but she said she would love to have a beach wedding.

On what she discovered about her boyfriend, Glaiza said: "She's very composed and very cool. I'm the type of person na rattled kapag may bagay na hindi tumutugma doon sa plano namin. Pero siya he's a problem-solver."

The pandemic also gave Glaiza the chance to focus on music. But she admits she's very attached to nature these days. "Sa London ang daming parks at ang sarap maglakad dahil ang lamig."

Glaiza said that she's going back to Europe soon afre she completes her commitments here. "Magpapa-alam pa rin muna ako sa GMA, sana payagan nila uli ako."

Jamie Prado, owner of House of Beauty, introduced Glaiza as celebrity endorser for her beauty line.

"She's my idol ever since. I admire her versatility as a performer. Whether she's doing comedy or playing kontrabida, she's very effective. Just like our Endless Beauty products, it is effective and suited for male and female. It's the best you can find in the marker," Jamie said.

Jamie recalled when she was just starting the business.

She borrowed a small capital of P1,500 from her husband, so she could start her beauty business in 2017.

Jamie, who admitted it was so hard to start from scratch, started by buying a facial kit and 10 bars of soap.

"It's so hard to introduce your product online, but when I started, I encouraged my customers to give me feedback. Little by little, my customers grew in number because of positive comments," she said.

Now, Jamie's soap has 21 variants, and her products have expanded to lotion and facial scrubs as well. She also has a perfume line called MalefiScent.

Testimony to her success are the awards she received: Outstanding Beauty and Wellness given by Asian Sterling Awards and another recognition from Golden Globe Annual Awards for Business Excellence and Outstanding Filipino Achievers.
