Frequent Sneezing? Sniffing? Scratching? Your kid might be suffering from allergy. Allergies , also known as  allergic diseases , are a number of conditions caused by hypersensitivity  of the immune system  to something in the environment that usually causes little problem in most people.  These diseases include hay fever , food allergies , atopic dermatitis , allergic asthma , and anaphylaxis.  Symptoms may include red eyes, a n itchy rash, runny nose,  shortness of breath,  or swelling.  My 3 kids used to have asthma attacks when they were a little younger, thank God it's been almost 2 years that we haven't used our nebulizer . Yay! Maybe because of the medicine our Pediatrician recommended years ago to prevent their simple cough ,colds and rashes that lead to asthma and other serious diseases. They also have sensitive skins due to allergens, which may cause atopic dermatitis.  The...

I grew up in a family where every occassion and gathering, at least a cake is always present- may it be simple or grand. Because we also believe in Julia Child's quote... "A party without CAKE is just a meeting." Cakes are special. Every birthday, every celebration ends with something sweet, a cake. Most of us have fond memories of food from our childhood. I will never forget how, as a little girl, would always wait for my birthday, my siblings and would always want to attend bithday parties because of the cake and its edible flower decorations from Goldilocks. This year, Goldilocks celebrates 50 Golden Years of being the country’s number one bakeshop, having opened its doors to the public last May 15, 1966. Since then, Goldilocks has become a Filipino icon and a cherished family tradition for generations of customers. Goldilocks held a two-day visit to Enchanted Kingdom. Employees, friends, loyal customers, and members of traditional and online medi...

During my younger years, I used to be the "Lydia de Vega" of our class. A little boast here but it's true. I run the fastest. Since then, I always wanted to engage in sports and hopefully pass it on to my children. Last May 29, 2016 at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds was my first fun run ever after I had an operation. I got a go signal from my doctors, so that's a Yay! I was so happy, even more excited because I'll be running with my youngest child, my Unica. It was her first fun run too. What's more awesome is that it's organized by  her favorite channel, Nickelodeon. We are ready for our first run! It's #MITMandTheUnica this time!

My dad passed away when I was in College. A relative who's a financial advisor in an insurance company talked to me and encouraged me  to get a plan from her. Out of pity and just wanted to help meet her quota, my mom, sisters and I gave in and "invested" the money we inherited from my dad, not really understanding what we are into because she didn't explained to us clearly how this plan/ policy works. Just because we've known her personally, we entrusted our money to her. So, in short we wasted our daddy's hard earned money, our time on her and that company. They benefited, we did not! Our needs, were not addressed at all. I must say it's some sort of a discreet hold up?! That's why I have this fear of talking to a financial advisor , afraid that I might be persuaded for nothing again. But, It's a blessing I got invited to attend Sun Life's event last June 1, held at Makati Shangri- La. Somehow I got a clearer vision of how financial ...
