I have three kids and I must say all of them are bread monsters. Actually even MITD and I. That's why I always make sure that bread is always readily available in our home. But we only prefer breads from Gardenia. From their pandesal, wheat bread, raisin bread, chocolate and even my kids baon are from Gardenia. Maybe that's the reason why Princess Y would always want to go to school even on weekends. hihi Especially now that Gardenia has introduced their new product: Gardenia Pocket Sandwich . It is the first sealed sandwich in the Philippines filled with our favorite spread in between soft and creamy Gardenia White Bread. You may choose over Choco-rich or Luscious peanut butter.

PAP President Dra. Belen Velasco notes the relevance of taking time to listen to the experts during the talks. She explains: “Our objective is simple yet powerful: to impart advices and traverse new ideas moms and expectant moms can use that will ultimately strengthen their maternal bond with their babies”.

Last month, Princess Y and I attended the first ever Baby Bash of the Asianparent PH and Lactacyd Baby
(The Science of Love) at Whitespace Makati.
It was an afternoon filled with fun, learning and bonding. Bonding with the family, with other moms and with my Unica.
The venue was breastfeeding mommy-friendly as the organizers set-up an area for moms who needs to breastfeed their little ones. There were other fun stops too!
Baby Weaning Station
Free and Easy (Play Area)
Sensory Bottle Station
Sensory Bottle Station- this is where Princess Y spent most of her time. She enjoyed doing her own sensory bottle
ParentTown Station
The aim of the event was to help and guide first-timers/ experienced moms and dads with their babies and growing-up toddlers. Tips on baby weaning were also given. I believe that's what the AsianParent PH is all about; to assist and a how-to guide for parents. Sanofi executive intoduced the newest line of Lactacyd Baby: the 2 in 1 moisturizing cleanser and liquid powder.
Lactacyd Baby is a line of mild, cleansing products made with safe and mild,natural ingredients, which fight skin infection and irritation.
Lactacyd Baby bath is formulated with newborn and infant bathing in mind. It can also be used as an adjunct treatment for infections like diaper rash, pruritus, eczema, and seborrhea dermatitis, promising to provide the best care for your little one.
Did you know that Baby powder can be DUST-FREE lotion? That's why Lactacyd Baby came up with liquid powder because they believe that babies can inhale the very fine grains of talcum powder, which could cause lung and other problem. The 2in1 moisturizing cleanser has a Dual Hydration System that moisturizes and protects against skin conditions like dryness and dermatitis. It is specially formulated with extra moisturizing ingredients to hydrate baby's delicate skin and create a defensive barrier to prevent TEWL (Transepidermal Water Loss) For Sanofi: "when babies are free from harm, parents are free from worry."
That's the Science of Love. That's Lactacyd Baby.
Pediatric Dermatologist was also present and discussed about skin care for newborns and infants.
On the event, Parent Town was also introduced.
What is ParentTown?
It is a mobile app designed for parents who have parenting concern. New parents often feel like they are stumbling in the dark and have a million questions. Literally overnight they are expected to know everything about pregnancy and raising a family.
Most turn to Google for answers or post their question on a Facebook group, hoping to find the right answer. Often when searching on Google, the results that come back are irrelevant or outdated. And Facebook groups offers you no anonymity.
From conception to raising kids, ParentTown is your trusted guide for everything parenting.
After the talks, attendees were treated with sumptuous buffet, exciting raffle prizes and gifts.
Thanks to the AsianParent PH co-sponsored by Sanofi and its minor sponsors -Naturali, Profreeze, Whitespace, VPharma, Mega- Malunggay and Thesis salon.

Before Starstruck and Star Circle, there was "The Regal Babies" by Mother Lily Monteverde. Aiko, together with Ruffa Gutierrez and Carmina Villaroel was part of the third batch (Underage Too).
Being a self-confessed movie fan at heart, I can say that I've always admired Aiko's pretty face when she first appeared on TV. Since then, I always make sure that I'm updated with what's going on with her life, lovelife, etc.
Photo grabbed @claudine_roura in Instagram Captioned : "Today is the day of transformation!" May 6, 2016
After all these years and after all that she'd been through, sad to say she became big ✌š»(sorry, but that's an eminent fact, still pretty though). Cause as per her, half of her life is about gaining weight. š Watch the interview :
Aiko Melendez is not only a picture of a fit and fab mom lately, she's also more than ready to face the world in a whole new light and positive direction. An absolute stunner at 41, she also proves that it's never too late to redeem your youth and vibrancy through active lifestyle, balanced diet and a little help from a certified professional who can do wonders for your wellness goals.
The genius and the beautiful masterpiece
A beautiful masterpiece by Contours Advanced Face and Body Sculpting Institute Medical Director Claudine Roura who's famously known as the country's Vaser Liposculpture expert, one can't help but fawn over Aiko's svelte and proportioned figure. While it's true that her amazing transformation is a combination of many activities and elements, here are some of the treatments that prove to be everything you may need to help you achieve your dream body that's worth the second look..
1. Vaser 4D Tummy Tuck - the best option that targets loose skin and muscles and fat deposits in the form of love handles or muffin top, this powerful combo treatment guarantees a shapely silhouette with a more toned appearance of the torso. To add, this highly sophisticated technique not only produces a natural result, bruising and swelling are visibly less so recovery yields shorter amount of time.
2. Vaser Lipo if Thighs and Arms - because sometimes no matter how many exercises or nutritional plans we try, truth is there are hard-to-melt fat areas in the body. In addition, saggy, bulky, and disproportioned arms or legs are most ladies' bane of existence, so for a safe and steady solution, Vaser Lipo is worth considering. With this procedure, not only recovery is quicker, three days being enough to see most patients back to a light version of the normal routine with a slimmer and toner arms or thighs in two to three months.
3. Fat transfer to butt -- a masterfully planned procedure that combines two of the most confidence-boosting techniques in one, consider this is as the most natural enhancement to firm up and add extra oomph to the butt department. First, a liposuction is performed top the section of the body part that needs to reduce fat, then followed by washing and processing technique of the harvested fat to ensure survival of its tissues preparing for injection. The result? A lifted and firmed up rear that's unlikely to get rejected by the body, as it's a matter that cane from your own flesh.
4. Thermitight Skin Tightening for Lower Face and Neck -- achieve a glowing, tighter and softer skin with this minimally invasive treatment that gently targets specific tissues that delays signs of aging, removes double chin and improves the jawline. Tightening, toning ang smoothening, the procedure involves using injectable RF to heat the dermis of the skin to tighten and stimulate new collagen formation. Much more,the complete procedure involves manageable downtime that leaves no scar with almost immediate results that continues to improve as days go by.
5. Thermibreast Non- Surgical Breast Lifting -proportioned and plump breasts are not only confidence-boosting, it also adds definition to a woman's figure. In addition to treating the deeper tissues, Thermibreast tightens and helps in collagen production, thereby helps in providing a decent amount of cleavage and elevating them to a more youthful location. Best of all? No downtime and visible scars, plus it provides lift with just the right measure of sexy.
6. Thermidry for Underarm Sweating --excessive underarm sweating is not only messy; it also minimizes anyone's confidence. So for those who have tried everything to keep this problem at bay, look no further. Safe, more affordable than Botox injections and lasts for a good number of years. Thermidry for underarm sweating is the best thing worth considering without a downtime.
It took Aiko a lot of courage,discipline and determination to achieve her voluptuous bod. With the help also of the "magical hands" of Dra. Claudine Roura.
For Aiko, this tip bears repeating, "Never stop and start by choosing what you eat and decide to be active whatever it takes. While diet and exercise are foolproof anti-aging formula, a little help won't hurt especially if you know you're in the well-trained hands of a certified professional. You know, maintaining is the hardest part but with determination and disciplne, nothing is impossible" she added. Aiko is dolled up by SM Woman, styled by Syper Abel, and make up by Dylan Sean Chua.
