Bounty Fresh OctoberFresh World Chicken and Egg Day 2018

     Egg or chicken? Chicken or egg? Whichever comes first, I'm sure that everyone loves both! I presume you've seen a teaser weeks ago about Chicky and her missing egg. It took social media by storm with all the guessing as to what happened to Chicky's Egg.

     Last October 12, 2018, the egg was found just in time for the World Chicken and Egg Day celebration. Bounty Fresh, the leading Philippine-based farm-to-market poultry producer is at the forefront of the celebration that was held at the TriNoma Activity Center. It was a day full of fun and surprises because of the deals and promotion plus a giveaway of P100,000 cold cash to the lucky raffle draw winner.

Jergens Celebrates 100 Years of Glowing Skin

     Who would have thought that Jergens skin care is already over a 100 years old? I was surprised when I found out about its history during the celebration last July 5 at the Atrium, Eastwood Mall, Quezon City. I had the privilege to know more about the early years of the brand as I walk through the Jergens Heritage Corner.

     It was the year 1882 when Andrew Jergens Company started manufacturing soaps in Cincinnati, Ohio and later ventured on producing lotions, perfumes, and beauty products. From there on, the brand continues to evolve in producing skin care products that will stay true to their philosophy of beauty. Highlights of the celebration after the jump!

Nestle NANKID Parentology+ Launch

     Some ten years ago this world was vastly different, causing anxiety among parents trying hard to provide their children a future full of possibilities. Different factors have redefined the way people do and view things. Think of the shifts advancement of technology, environmental changes, and lifestyle shifts that have so much so that today’s parents sometimes feel overwhelmed by the world their children are growing in.

     Children who were born a generation ago are lucky because they often ate home-cooked meals and played games with neighbors. While today’s children often consume fast food items while playing video games on their handhelds. No more parks and outdoor spaces as they have been replaced by sprawling malls, while the ever-increasing population has meant traffic congestion, pollution, and other urban challenges that did not exist or were not as bad ten years ago. As a result, many children have become couch potatoes with limited socialization opportunities. A number of growing kids struggle with issues such as obesity, socialization difficulties, attention problems, and the like. Think you can change this situation now? The answer is YES!!! Scroll down to know more how :)

Feature: Locally and Merci Buco Juice Drinks

      I'm a juice and tea person. I don't drink soda that's why when we dine out, my default order would always be iced tea or fruit juice. I also have a stock of my favorite teas and juices at home that I enjoy drinking during meal times. I've tried all the flavors available on the market but haven't explored on our 'own' flavors.

      When I say 'own', those are the local fruit flavors that can be found here in our country. Some flavors are hard to find before because you can only get them where they are produced but now a brand called Locally brought the best of Philippine flavors here in the metro. Know more about Locally and the exciting flavors they have in every can and bottle!

Feature: Cecon Vitamin C + Cecon Supermoms Event

     It's not easy to be a mom but it's the most rewarding job that a woman can have and be proud of. Imaging the household chores and other tasks to look after the welfare of the family. Tiring, exhausting, but at the end of the day it's fulfilling. As a stay-at-home mom where I do a lot of chores all day, every day, I've learned how to be strong physically and emotionally but there were times that all my "pagod" is taking its toll on me.

     Even a supermom is getting tired after a long day of work that's why it is important for us moms to learn how to take a break, relax, and pamper ourselves once in a while. Weeks ago, I was invited to an intimate event for the moms who dedicate their lives to their family- The Cecon Supermoms event. I'll share the highlights of this inspiring event below :)

Feature: JBL Jr. Headphones

     Kids these days are so into gadgets. I presume that kids of this generation would love to receive a new iPad, mobile phone, game console, or accessories that they will use in the gadgets that they already have. We cannot blame technology if our kids will choose these over stuff toys and other playset but we can control the pros and cons a gadget brings.

     My son, Kenzo loves to watch YouTube videos. He's into race cars and musical instruments. He's into music as his dad while he also loves to play games like momma. On a long road trip, I know he needs a headphone that delivers remarkable sound so he can still enjoy the trip while watching videos or listening to music. Enter JBL Jr.- brightly colored wired and wireless lightweight headphones that let kids enjoy music, movies and more while providing the promise of safety and durability.

Penshoppe Anti-Bullying Campaign #IAmDifferent Launch

     I believe that we are unique, we are all different. Even identical twins can still be different emotionally that's why I support Penshoppe's latest campaign to raise awareness against bullying. According to the study, one is being bullied because he/she thinks and act differently. 

     I can still remember the time when one of my classmates was being bullied. He was teased and physically assaulted by other students from a higher level. It's a traumatic experience for the person being bullied and it will bring impact later on his life. Know more about the local retail brand's campaign on bullying and what you can do to help raise awareness in your own little way below.

Cole Haan 2017 Fall Collection at Ayala Malls The 30th

     What qualities do you look for or consider when buying a pair of shoes? For me, it's always comfort because I have a very, when I say very it's very, very, sensitive feet. I get blisters and corns easily that's why I always make sure to buy the style that will take me to many places, literally.

     I never thought that an expensive brand such as Cole Haan has designs that are fashionable yet comfortable to wear. Extraordinary comes to life when Cole Haan Philippines opened their 7th store at Ayala Malls The 30th and I'm one of the lucky guests who got the first dibs on the reveal of their 2017 Fall Collection.
