Allerkid Circle of Experts Event (A.C.E.s) at Kidzania Manila



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, an 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 reason why we always have stock of this medicine in our cupboard and refrigerator. We call it the miracle medicine aka Allerkid. Ü


Cetirizine Allerkid is the Most-doctor prescribed and No. 1 Allergy Medicine for kids. It is effective in relieving allergy symptoms of Allergic Rhinitis such as sneezing, nasal itching, watery eyes or what we call as “hatsing-singhot-kamot”. It is also used for Allergic conjunctivitis and Atopic dermatitis. Allerkid controls allergy in as fast as 20 minutes that lasts up to 24 hours, thus it can only be taken once a day. Kids will surely love the great grape taste of Allerkid because it uses TasteRite Technology which masks the bitter taste of medicines. That's why my kids love Allerkid because of its no-bitter taste.

Last June 9, an event was held at Kidzania Manila to increase awareness and prevent allergy education among parents and kids alike. Invited guests were loyal consumers, media and pediatricians . 

During the exclusive event, allergy education on the signs, symptoms and management of the condition was presented by Dr. Shirley Kwong, an allergist from the Philippine Society of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (PSAAI) and Mr. Ony Carcamo, a renowned-ventriloquist to capture both the doctors and their kids through edutainment. Watch the video of Kuya Ony and Kulas here... 





The event was used as a venue to promote the Allergy Club of PSAAI, which aims to educate patients about their allergic diseases to help them control their allergies and improve their quality of life.

Our preferred partner  in managing the allergic condition of our 3 kids? No other than - Allerkid! 

By the way, they are also offering Allerteen, for  teens. (Minitab)



I took so many photos and videos that day because it was my eldest and youngest kids who were with me. I'll just share some of our happy and allergy-free day photos with my co-mommy bloggers  and our kids ;)  ♥♥♥


Goldilocks Celebrates 50 Sweet and Delightful Years of Bringing World-Class Products to Filipinos All Over The World

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 media were treated to a carefree and fun-filled experience at the amusement park, in keeping with the celebratory atmosphere of the 50th year anniversary. We were grateful to be part of this celebration on its second day, as it was also my Unica's 5th birthday.

The birthday girl


The Goldilocks Birthday Caravan is one of many initiatives that the Philippines’ best-loved bakeshop has undertaken this year, in order to commemorate five decades filled with sweet moments and countless Filipino celebrations. Even after half a century of leadership, however, Goldilocks is still moving forward, finding new and innovative ways to serve its next generation of customers.

TRIVIA

* Goldilocks 1st branch opens in Pasong Tamo, Makati in May 1966.
* Goldilocks plants the Philippine flag overseas by opening an outlet in Los Angeles, Califonia in 1976.
* In 1991, Goldilocks family gets bigger through its franchising program
* In 1999, Goldilocks open its 100th store
* In 2014, During the reception of the "Dong-Yan showbiz wedding of the year", Goldilocks unveils a 3D-mapped, 12-foot, 5-tiered cake adorned with crystals and butterly details. This immediately became a global sensation and was featured prominently on both local and International media.

Since we were out the whole day of June 2,
we just bought her her requested cake,
Of course from Goldilocks! :)

Nickelodeon Slime Cup Run : A slime-tastic run to beat the summer heat with the Family and Furry Friends

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.



There were 3 categories. There’s the 200M DASH for kids 7 years old & below, 1K RUN for human and dog, and 3K RUN for everyone! Since she's only 4 that time (she turned 5 last June 2) we ran for the 200M dash. Parents/Guardians were asked if we will be running side by side with our kids, or will let them run by themselves. My daughter said that she'll run by herself (what a brave and courageous little girl I've got) . But of course can't resist not to run with her, I just took her video to document her first run.  Actually, she almost  left  me behind. She runs faster than I am. Here's a snippet of the 200M dash run for girls aged 7 and below.



Bikini Bottom stars who also happen to be Nickelodeon's Slime Cup Run ambassadors were also present to join in the fun. The kids and kids-at-heart were thrilled. 

Spongebob Squarepants and Patrick Star ♥♥♥


The fun factor in the fun run was doubled as runners did not only run, they got slimed as well. But Since Nickelodeon is considerate of everyone’s feelings, they made sure we got an option to pass through a special lane at the end of the run where it is absolutely slime-free! My daughter got slimed, I opted to pass through the special lane. ( hehe)


After everyone's done with the run and passed through the slime tunnel, we headed into the shower area in the Slime Hub to clean off  the green goo. 

When we were all cleaned up,we visited various booths and did some activities which were facilitated by Nickelodeon's partners. Nickelodeon's Slime Cup Run was made possible with the support of the sponsors such as Barbie, Hapee Kiddie Toothpaste, Jiggels, Magnolia Chocolait, Milkita Lollipops, Plus! Juice Drink, Skechers kids, Propan TLC drops with Zinc and Toy Kingdom

'Twas another memorable bonding experience for me and my daughter . Grateful for takbo.Ph for inviting us to part of the first- ever run of Nickelodeon for the whole family.

Sun Life Aims for 5M Clients by 2020 : Ri5e PH





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 products go.

Sun Life of Canada (Philippines) Inc., the top-ranked and longest-standing life insurance company in the Philippines, aims to serve five million clients by year 2020 under its new five-year growth plan dubbed "Rise PH" .



"RI5E PH" champions financial inclusion in the Philippines, where only a small percentage of the whole population utilizes financial products such as insurance and investments.


"Despite the bright prospects that the country's economy has, prosperity still hasn't trickled down to the more disadvantaged sectors of society. We have to address this, " Sun Life President and CEO Riza Mantaring said. "Sun Life would like to see more Filipinos looking forward to a brighter future and the whole country rising to greater heights. We would like to start by targetting five million clients in five years.

While it may seem like an ambitious goal, Mantaring believes that it's best to set the targets high. " At Sun Life, we always dare to dream big -  more so if the stakes are high. This is the country's future we're talking about, after all, " she explained. " Setting high targets will push us to do more, and will allow us to make a greater contribution to our country's future."

Sun Life has declared June as "Financial Independence Month". They have initial set of initiatives which includes the cooperation with 8990 Holdings, Inc., one of the top mass housing developers in the country, for efforts to promote financial literacy.

Another initiative is #MoneyForLife, a comprehensive, customizable financial planning program that will ensure that a client will have sufficient funds for every stage of his life.

I got to experience 1st hand their 360 degree VR video.
Why am I smiling? Because Piolo is right in front of me,
talking to me and helping me with my chosen stage. Ü

To help inspire the public to create their own Money for Life plan with a financial advisor, Sun Life created a 360 degree visual reality (VR) video, transporting them to different scenarios based on their chosen life stage. This will enable the viewer to live the dream for a minute and be encouraged to start planning for their future through Money for Life and Sun Life's Insurance and investment products.

Get a chance to have fun with Piolo in Japan by swinging by the Bus to the Future in different malls and campuses nationwide.

June 11 - Bonifacio Global City High Street

June 19 - Eastwood

June 25 - SM City Cebu

July 02 - Solenad, Nuvali



In all these stops, Sun Life financial advisors will also be in hand to accomodate inquiries.

Meanwhile, those who will not be able to visit the "Bus to the Future" stops will still get a boost in their financial journey with the Money for Life e-Planner. They simply have have to go to (moneyforlife.com.ph) and they can immediately start their financial planning, get product recommendations, and even buy mutual funds from Sun Life Asset Management Co., Inc.

"Financial Independence Month" is now on its third year of highlighting the national importance of financial preparedness among Filipinos. "This June marks a new beginning as Sun Life embraces ots goal of serving five milliin clients in five years," Mantaring said. "We are very much excited about the possibilities, and we look forward to helping our country tise to reach its full potential."

Sun Life of Canada (Philippines), Inc. Is a member of the Sun Life Financial group of companies, a leading international financial organization providing a diverse range of protection and wealth products and services to individuals and corporate customers. Sun Life Financial has operations in a number of markets worldwide, including Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Japan, Indonesia, India, China, Australia, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia and Bermuda.

Summer's almost over! Are you tired of your summer tan? Are you looking for ways to fade that summer tan quickly? Or even just to lighten any dark spots? Prettylooks Aesthetics (Radiance Whitening Soap) can surely help you with that.



Last May 29, I was fortunate to be invited for Godric Matthew's  (Ms. Marylaine Louise Viernes'  son) Star Wars Themed 7th Birthday Party at Prestige Tower in Ortigas. One of the sponsors on the event was Prettylooks Aesthetics. They were so generous that all the guests were given free soap to try out. The one handed to me is their Radiance Whitening Soap. 

I have to discontinue the product I'm currently  using to be able to see and feel the difference of this one. I've been using this soap for 3 days now and these are the reasons why I started loving it...

 *  I feel refreshed every after a shower
 *  lathers quickly and easy to wash off
 *  just like any other whitening soap, it has a light citrusy scent
 *  after my first attempt, I noticeably feel the squeaky clean on my face and body
 * no stinging and itchiness after


Keep your skin in top shape whatever the season and get that glow you need with Prettylooks Radiance Whitening Soap.

It's just one of their products that indeed delivers. How much more with their Aesthetic services? Can't wait to try and share with you the magical result. Ü

Only the Best Brands for Moms and Kids at Galactic Mission 7




Blogger Moms and their families trooped to the most exciting party this year, Galactic Mission 7, featuring only the best-loved products for mommies and kids.



CORDLIFE Philippines: One Chance, One Choice. The Cordlife team, led by brand manager, Ms. Jonelyn De Belen along with medical and brand experts were able to elucidate the participants on the benefits of banking Cord blood. There is only one opportunity to collect and store the stem cells found in the cord blood and this is only during birth.

Stem cells are at the forefront of one of the most fascinating and revolutionary areas of medicine today. Doctors recognize that stem cells have the potential to help treat numerous diseases by generating healthy new cells and tissue. A wide range of diseases is treatable with stem cells such as acute and chronic forms of leukemia and myeloproliferative disorders to name a few.

CORDLIFE has also launched a bigger contest for bloggers, where 10 lucky winners will walk away with Sodexo gift certificates! Consolation prizes of 1,000 pesos worth of Sodexo gift certificates will be given away to 5 participating bloggers while 2,000 pesos worth of Sodexo gift certificates will be given to 4 minor winners and one lucky Cordlife Blogger will be awarded 10,000.00 worth of Sodexo gift certificates!

The Bloggers only need to follow Cordlife Philippines on Cordlife Social Media accounts and tag Cordlife to share the links to their blogs.

Cordlife alone offers expert cord blood banking services and as a group, has released a total of 35 cord blood units to date.

Commanding happiness with COMMAND BRAND. Joining in the intergalactic fun and excitement is Command Brand Philippines, Damage – Free Hanging Solutinos from 3M who has also launched their official instagram account @commandbrandph and official brand hashtag, #iCOMMANDit .
