CHAMPS: Mother's Choice for Champions

$
0
0
CHAMPS is a brand for multivitamin preparations designed for the health and wellness of the Pediatric age group. It comes in several variants which have been formulated to address the specific needs of various segments of the pediatric population. These variants include CHAMPS Vitamin C,  CHAMPS M, CHAMPS M with lysine, CHAMPS C plus lysine, and of course CHAMPS OMEGA 3.

These multivitamins come in small chewable tablets and in various shapes and tasty flavors. One cannot ignore that the real problem experienced by parents, specifically mother, is the difficulty in making kids take medications- and yes this includes vitamins. Tasty flavored syrup are good but once the teaspoon or medical glass filled with these syrup come close to the nose of children sometimes a long chase or “struggle” happens. Why? Because these still smell like medicine despite the “good taste”.   

This is one of the reasons why CHAMPS multivitamins become a logical alternative option for parents to offer to children in taking their vitamins and as we want to say – taking the vitamins the fun way because these multivitamin preparations come in candy form and with good flavors to suit the taste of children.

HAPEEness in a toothpaste

$

Fully Filipino-owned Lamoiyan Corporation has more reasons to smile as it continues to bring world-class quality yet affordable products that never fail to earn the peoples' trust and loyalty, especially now that the company is in its 25thyear of existence.

In perfect time with its Silver anniversary this year, the company now has more than 30,000 fans in leading social network site Facebook, and still continuously growing – a feat that only proves the unstoppable patronage it gains from the local market.

Hapee’s Facebook page served as a venue to connect with the brand’s market, most of them Filipino moms. Not only that the site served as a tool for hapee to reach out to its market, but also it served as a page where fans can get practical household tips and useful parenting advice for everyday. And when the page reached its 10, 000 mark, hapee took the chance to hear more from their fans and asked them: "Bakit hapee ang toothpaste mo?"

From among the thousands of statements made during the campaign, one of the most convincing ones was that of Daisy Villadores de Belen, who admits that their family already tried almost all the toothpaste brands available in the market and yet they still stuck to hapee  for her kids really love the taste that is not too spicy. With this, she writes: "Happinghappy kami sa hapee."

The same reason was also given by Era Mae Dagondon, who particularly liked hapee’s flavorful taste, not to mention its refreshing effect to the mouth and the softness of the bubbles she feels every time she brushes her teeth. Meanwhile, Filomena Villanueva swears that it's "really worth it without the need for a mouthwash”.
            
Apart from its world-class quality that is comparable to other more expensive brands, what's also keeping consumers loyal to hapee toothpaste is its reasonable price. According to Michelle Talaboc, while prices of some commodities continue to go up, it's good to know that Lamoiyanremains affordable, especially for those who have less in life. This, in turn, gives her a reason to smile amid life’s challenges.
       

For practical mothers who want only the best for their family, hapee toothpaste is indeed the right choice for them. Belinda Maravilla, who considers herself so meticulous in choosing every product she buys, shares that it's only hapee that her family is very satisfied with given the kind of dental care it provides and yet friendly to the budget.

The self-confessed frugal Merly Onayan, on the other hand, cites that she, who values the hard-earnings of her husband, won't settle for something expensive if there's an alternative that can also give the best result in oral hygiene. Because Rho-anne Repre considers the brand as the "Hapeeness ng pamilya kohapeeness pa ngbulsako!" she indeed gives the consuming public a convincing statement that they need not have to spend more just to have a beautiful smile.
            
Beyond the wonders of hapee toothpaste as a product, the legacy behind it also contributes to its big following. It is a known fact that Lamoiyan Corporation is a 100 percent Filipino firm established in March 1998 by no less than its visionary owner, Dr. Cecilio K. Pedro who, despite the unfortunate closure of his first business venture Aluminum Containers, Inc., was not discouraged but instead opted to challenge the big multinationals by introducing a purely local brand that is of the same quality as theirs.  
            
Seeing the company's humble beginnings, Cristina Lim stresses that hapee toothpaste truly reflects the very distinct Filipino quality that is "masikap" or "diligent," which can be at par with the best in the world. Proud of the company and its founder's success, Ria Tacderas Bahri, meanwhile, says that it is but proper to love and patronize a brand made by a Filipino for the Filipino. What's more, Lamoiyan sets a good example as a firm that offers equal employment opportunities for hearing-impaired individuals which, for Ace Mendoza, only shows that it truly cares for the people.
            
These responses, which also share the same sentiments with the rest, clearly reflect this: That hapee toothpaste is truly a world-class yet affordable brand in the market today made by a homegrown company that is Lamoiyan Corporation, whose mission to produce quality products as well as create opportunities for the people for the betterment of the country, is truly a source of Filipino pride.

shoes: SM Parisian

Hello there! Here's what I wore when I attended the Suiteblanco event weeks ago.  I love my blue pattern top. Bangles and necklace are from SM Accessories. I love the pastel colored bangles against my monochromatic look. What do you think?

Anyway, I've been on a scout for a perfect nude heels. Good thing nung napadaan ako at SM Department Store, SM Megamall I saw this pair and happiness lang that there's one available in my size and last pair na sya. Hooray! Sometimes it's hard for me to find my size since my size I guess is common (size 5). Kaya I'm always on the look out for a pair that's in my size. I'm glad that SM Parisian has a lot of affordable, yet stylish shoes na may size ako. So, cheers to SM Parisian! 
How about you, what's your go-to brands for shoes? :))

Don't forget to join my iWhite Korea giveaway. It's gonna end on July 8!

To all parents out there, do you find it hard to feed your children? Do you resort to "habulan time" and bribing them just to eat? Maybe it's time you change their sets of plates! 

We all know how children love characters. From bags, to clothes, to accessories, they want everything with (cartoon)character or characters that are familiar to them. Melawares now offers dinner and starter sets with our favorite Disney Character designs that I'm sure our kiddos will love to have!

As a mom, what I love about Melawares products is that their plates are durable, will not easily break, it's also microwavable and safe to place our hot food. They're also easy to wash and they are smooth too. No roughness around the edges and one of the trusted brands I know when it comes with table/kitchen wares.

Designs such as Mickey and Minnie Mouse and Princesses will be a sure hit for our little ones. I'm sure they're gonna love their food when it's placed in their fave character sets. 

Sofi loves her princess plate that she even use it kahit anong food ang kainin nya. Since she thinks she's a princess, she prefers princess stuff. And Melawares princess set is perfect for her!

The kiddos are ready to eat with their own character plate sets. Sofi with her cousin MC. I heard Sofi said that they are having a disney party for two, hehe!

The set includes 1 plate, 1 bowl and a glass.

To all parents out there, let's have a hassle-free feeding time with our kids. Let's bring out the fun in eating time. Melawares Disney line set is now available at leading department stores for only Php199!

Aside from Melawares, the classic brand that carries high-quality melamine tableware products, CDC Manufacturing Corporation has other brands such as Bestware, an affordable tableware line; Urban Kitchen, a modern brand that carries food service products outside of melamine tableware; and Perfect Dining, a brand of high-end melamine products exclusive for the SM Department Store chain. It is also the leading manufacturer of customized dinnerware for Quick Service Restaurants serving some of the biggest names in the food industry.

Giordano Monsters University Fair

Last Saturday, I was invited to attend a one of a kind fair held at Trinoma Activity Center. After graduating eons ago, I was able to experience being a student again. Thanks to Giordano,  I "enrolled" to Monsters University and must finish some tasks to graduate. And since I brought Sofi with me, we were classmates for one day. Imagine the thrill when Sofi learned that we were classmates, haha! Never in a million years that we will both be students in one university. She got kilig when she saw our ID's!

The "task" Giordano prepared for us were fun! We got to play 2fuse in their iPad, kinect and guitar hero. After you finish all those task, graduate ka na! And since I was playing photographer that day, I asked Sofi to finish all tasks for us, haha!


Btw, Sofi asked me what's the meaning of this pie.. erm.. LOL!!!


Guitar Hero with Tin. Oh hello there, Ana!

This is one of my fave photo! Rockstar lang ang peg ni Sofi with Tita Kai! Woot!
 

Sully and Mike!

One of the fun activities at the fair was the face/body painting.

She got the hello kitty

She even posted her hello kitty drawing at the bulletin board. I know it's a Monsters University Fair and I asked her to draw a character from MU instead of hello kitty. Pero ito daw gusto nyang i-drawing to match her tattoo. oh well. haha!
.

Inside the fair, Giordano set up a booth where you can get your own Monsters University items right there and then.

I love all the colors! Parang uniform talaga.

Syrena and Sofi. aka Little Angel(wonder woman rises) and Little Jen :))

With my fellow classmates! Kai, Christine and Catch!

Monsters University Student Body(hehe): Kai, Arnie, Ana, Sofi, Rachel and Ava.

It was one of the fun event I've been to. I had an awesome time being a student again even if it's just for one day. Thank you Giordano, Cha and Havas PR for the invite.

Missed out the Giordano Monsters University Fair at Trinoma? Catch them at their next venue at SM MEGAMALL A, on July 6-7. 
Mark your calendars and enroll at the Giordano Monsters University Fair! Fun activities await the whole family!

Timex forges a significant partnership with the Philippine Polo Triathlon Team last June 18 in Makati City. The world-renowned timepiece provider has strengthened its ties with the internationally-known team in a contract signing headed by Timex General Manager Avinash Uttamchandani and Polo Tri Team founder Fred Uytengsu.

With Uytengsu at the helm, the Polo Tri team competes in both local and international competitions comprised primarily of over 60 athletic members of different professions and age group. “It is with pride that Timex continuously shows support with a growing group as effervescent as the Polo Tri. We are in high spirits that upon entering our fifth-year partnership, we will still provide an essential ally to the team’s performance when it comes to time-gears,” notes Uttamchandani.



“The Polo Tri team essentially uses Timex watches for trainings and races. And through the years, we are happy that Timex has unrelentingly showed us support. What better way for our athletes to be equipped but with a leading brand in the watch industry that is known to produce quality, value, and timeless styles,” Uytengsu says prior to the event.

Time-geared athletes have converged in a cocktail party bannering the group’s official timepiece, the Timex Ironman®Target Trainer HRM. This piece features a TAP Technology packaged neatly in black straps with a 3-Workout memory with recall of lap/split times and average hour per lap. In addition, the Timex Ironman®Target Trainer HRM has an interval timer with eight segments, each containing its own label and HR Zone, an HR in BPM or %-of-Max Format and an Automatic Recovery Heart Rate Timer with user-selectable time. The timepiece user can also choose from ten target zones with alerts and recall AVG/Peak Workout HR, Time in Zone and calories burned.

Timex never ceases to come up with innovations that will perfectly suit each one’s interest and lifestyle. Truly, a great bond has been built between Polo Tri and Timex in aiming for a strong camaraderie and quality, desired results.







Nestle Acti-V Go Lounge Event

Last Saturday, I was invited to attend the Nestle Acti V Go Lounge event thanks to Nuffnang Philippines! It was held at Romulo Cafe in Quezon City. According to the invitation, it's gonna be a fun, worry-free afternoon of pampering and relaxation. And after a stressful week, imagine my excitement of what Nestle and Nuffnang prepared for us.

After I registered, they handed us this flyer kung anong activities namin that day. And much to my delight, spa was our 1st activity. Yay!!

We were able to choose what spa treatment should we get. I decided to have the back massage with cold pebbles since I keep on complaining of my "ngawit" sa back ko.  And wow! It was my 1st time to try the cold pebbles and kulang na lang makatulog ako sa sobrang sarap ng massage, haha! :P

With Ms Leah Dy of Toccare & Fruits in Bloom and Tin.

Next activity was DIY corner. I was given this blank canvass and asked us to design our own chiller bag. To be honest, medyo na-pressure ako dito haha! I doodle at my own time in my own journal.  But displaying my own design? Panic mode on! Uh huh! I thought nawala yung pagka relax ko sa spa, lol! But of course, I don't have any choice. Seeing some people designing their own chiller bag  and hearing encouraging words like "ok lang yan", "maganda yan", etc etc. medyo umokey na ako.

Anyway, I was planning on a chevron design kaso may nag chevron design na. I don't know how to draw naman. And since I love patterns, I decided to draw different patterns na lang. And when I was done, I can't help but admire my chiller bag. O d ba? Therapeutic nga! Ang babaw lang pero I felt fulfilled haha! Can't believe I designed it myself. And people who saw my design said cute daw kaya parang ang sarap ng feeling. Gusto ko ulet mag design! :)) Even Sofi said she wants this to be her baunan, hehe! :P

DIY-ing with these ladies made my panic mode off. :)) (photo grabbed from Tin)

Anyone interested of having their own Shopgirl Jen canvass chiller bag? hehe!

After the DIY corner, it was time to eat na. It was my 1st time at Cafe Romulo and loved the place right away. Pinterest lang ang peg ng dining area nila, right? 

Food! Super love the salad and nachos with white cheese!

Selfie(s) mode with Kai

While we were eating, we were introduced to the new product of Nestle yogurt. Personally, I'm a fan of Nestle yogurt. I always have stocks in my freezer. My faves are fruit selection yogurt in strawberry and fruit selection in jelly yogurt. It helps me with digestion after I eat. And now Nestle has a new product that will be a good addition to our daily eating habit and will help us with constipation woes. 

Nestle Acti-V is the only yogurt that contains fiber. The active fibers in Acti-V called ACTIFIBRAS is not just good for your digestion but also scientifically proven to help regulate bowel movement.

Constipation and irregular bowel movement are some common tummy problems that we didn't know how to address properly. Some resort to different kinds of herbals and medicines that instead of relieving the pain, it worsens the situation. Here are some tips that we can learn and keep in mind whenever constipation and irregular bowel movement strikes us.

And no other than Ms. Cherie Gil is the new Nestle Acti-V endorser. And can you believe that she just turned 50?!! She exudes elegance in the way she talk. She even shared her lifestyle to us and her secret on whats keeping her young. Her day starts with waking up with a smile, being thankful, exercise, good diet and of course a cup of Nestle Acti-V.

It was nice seeing you again, Mar!

And since it's a relaxing day, we were treated to a short film showing with some cupcakes, truffles popcorn and strawberry smoothies. 

Yay for my personalized Shopgirl Jen pillow!

It's not too late to include change your lifestyle. Start the Nestle Acti-V daily habit now! :)

Thank you Nestle and Nuffnang Philippines for the invite! I really enjoyed the pampering sesh and learning more about my favorite yogurt.

New Organic Collection: SM Babies Goes Green

A week ago, I was invited to attend the SM Babies Goes Green wherein they launched their new Organic Collection. When I had Sofi a few years ago, my concern were limited to our health, welfare and basic needs. I thought that was the best that I can give. At the SM Babies Goes Green event, I learned that we can give 100% more of whats best for our babies. As a mother we should strive hard in giving our baby a healthy lifetyle.

Going organic means a guarantee of better living. In keeping with the widespread movement toward achieving that all-natural lifestyle, SM Babies presents its latest line of organic wear. Free of any harmful chemicals or processes, the line counts as the latest addition to their regular assortment of chic, affordable baby apparel.

Made for moms who want to make a difference, the methods involved in creating these textiles minimize damage to the environment. Choosing to limit such effects through the organic choice gives families everywhere the chance to be a part of something bigger. By limiting the country’s carbon footprint bit by bit, there comes the opportunity for ecological growth through personal advocacy.

Celebrity Mommies Nicole Hernandez and Amanda Griffin talked about their change to a healthier lifestyle once they become mothers and shared the benefits of organic apparel. They have endeavored to give their babies the best upbringing. From breastfeeding to organic living, these mothers realize that health is wealth when it comes to raising their precious little ones.

Each article of clothing is composed of 100% organic cotton containing no toxic residue obtained from plant pesticides, herbicides, or processing compounds. The ultra-soft, hypoallergenic fabric keeps babies snug and comfortable without the potential for causing irritation. Moms and their young ones can look forward to selecting from affordable apparel essentials such as bibs, rompers, cloth diapers, and beanies.

Nicole with her son, Ms. Jo Dy Juanco-Vice President for Children's Fashion Management Corp. and Amanda with her son.

With fellow mommies Char and April. Thank you so much Krissy for inviting us! :)

The SM Babies organic collection is currently available under SM-exclusive brands, St. Patrick and Tiny Tummies at selected The SM Stores nationwide.

Thank you, ARC PR and SM Babies for inviting me. I think it's a sign! ;))

The rainy season is here! Despite the dark clouds and the cold weather, looking dull and dreary is definitely not an excuse. What we need are pops of fresh colors and prints to brighten up our looks in this not-so-bright weather. 

Freeway gives you what you need to brighten up that day!


Florals are taking over as Freeway brings out a special collection featuring its own exclusive prints exuding the perfect balance of femininity, charm and allure. It consists of tops and dresses featuring simple silhouettes and styles with stunning prints made out of soft, loose and flowy material, all with that comfort stretch component. The prints are comprised of blossoms with a watercolor and painting effect, seemingly comparable to wearing a beautiful collage of roses, tulips, orchids and more on a canvass. 


As for the colors, a mixture of sweet colors such as pink, blue, yellow, red and green are used, very much like the hues you see on a beautiful garden. As for the footwear, complementing the collection’s soft and feminine theme are lovely shoes from Janylin and Muñiz.

Known for innovative ideas, Freeway first featured the renowned works of National Artists as a tribute to these legends through its National Artist Collectors' Series. Now, Freeway develops its own prints so that you can own that special item which you can't find anywhere else. Debuted in February this year, the line of own prints has been successful, prompting a development of more beautiful collection monthly.


This collection will add sunshine to your wardrobe that can chase away a gloomy day. Definitely something women can wear and style on a day-to-day basis whether in the workplace, a day out with friends, or on a romantic date night, Freeway’s own exclusive Mixed Prints Collection embodies the qualities an empowered and graceful woman possesses. Catch this collection at Freeway stores nationwide!

Disney's Teen Beach Movie

DISNEY UNLEASHES CONTEMPORARY SURF-ROCK MUSICAL
"TEEN BEACH MOVIE" ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 4, AT 10 A.M. ON DISNEY CHANNEL


The movie stars Ross Lynch (Disney Channel's "Austin & Ally") as Brady, Maia Mitchell (ABC Family's "The Fosters") as McKenzie, Grace Phipps (ABC Family's "The Nine Lives of Chloe King") as Lela, Garrett Clayton as Tanner, John Deluca as Butchy, Chrissie Fit (ABC's "General Hospital") as Cheechee, Jordan Fisher as Seacat, Mollee Gray (Disney Channel's "High School Musical") as Giggles, Kent Boyd as Rascal, William T. Loftis as Lugnut, Jessica Lee Keller as Struts, Kevin Chamberlin (Disney Channel's "Jessie," Broadway's "The Addams Family") as Dr. Fusion and Steve Valentine (Disney Channel's "Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie," Disney XD's "I'm In The Band") as Les Camembert. Suzanne Cryer is Aunt Antoinette and Barry Bostwick makes a special appearance as Big Poppa.

Made for kids age 6-14 and their families, the summer splash - "Teen Beach Movie" introduces confident, resilient surfer McKenzie and her carefree boyfriend, Brady, a fan of the retro surf musical movie, "Wet Side Story." On the morning of McKenzie's planned departure for boarding school, she and Brady catch one last epic wave which mysteriously carries them right into "Wet Side Story," circa 1962, where they meet Seacat, Giggles, Rascal and Cheechee, among others. Amidst the spontaneous song and dance, there's trouble in paradise -- it's bikers versus surfers for control of the local hangout, but Mack and Brady unwittingly interfere with the movie's star-crossed plot, one that would pair a surfer (teen matinee idol Tanner) and a biker (Lela, the sister of Butchy, the biker gang's leader). Typical of the teen beach movie genre, a kooky subplot has mad scientists Les Camembert and Dr. Fusion scheming to alter weather patterns and take over the local hangout -- and then the world.


After creating a perfect ratings wave, amassing 8.4 million total viewers, with its US premiere, Disney Channel is primed to unleash Seacat, Giggles, Rascal, Lugnut, Struts, Butchy, Cheechee, Tanner, Lela, Brady and Mack, in the Philippine television   premiere of "Teen Beach Movie," an exuberant song, sand and surf fest set inside a retro beach party movie. The storyline depicts how 1960s sensibilities motivate a modern girl to affirm her capability, strengths and goals. Kids and families can watch the fun and exuberant Disney Channel Original Movie as it premieres on SUNDAY, AUGUST 4 at 10 a.m. on Disney Channel.




My Maquillage Professionnel Make Up Workshop

Earlier this month, I got a message from Krissy of ARC PR asking me if I'm interested to attend the capsule courses for Maquillage Professionnel. Considering that I didn't know at first how to go to Burgos Circle area(madali lang pala pag commute) where Maquillage Professionnel is located, I said yes right away! :) 
I've been a make up enthusiast ever since, and I'm really excited to learn more from the professionals. So a week ago, I had my 1st make up workshop. :)

So this is the face before the transformation. Haha! Not wearing any make up except for some lipgloss.

We know that we sometimes attend events that required us to put on make up. I really hate it when I look different in my pictures, or alam mo yung hindi pantay sa picture ang face at neck mo, super shiny mo sa camera, etc. Don't you hate it too? 

So imagine my happiness when Ms. Yuki, resident make up artist of Maquillage Professionnel told us that we will be learning the basic of Glamour Make Up for Photography. There, we were taught how to put make up na hindi lang maganda sa personal but also sa picture. Yay!

Make Up playground

Since I'm wearing brown that day and commute pa ako(haha!), I opted for a neutral look that will still look glamor glamor in personal and in pictures. I love my coverage here from Make Up Factory.

And because it's a glamour make up for photography, after our lesson, nag road test na agad. I'm on TV!

I want to thank these two resident make up artists of Maquillage Professionnel. From the difference of each brushes, to contouring, highlighting and some tricks, I really learned a lot from them. Thank you for being patient with me. :)

Ms. Celine of Maquillage Professionnel

After following each step and look...TA-DA!!!! I can't believe the outcome! I really, really looooove the matte finish look. On and off camera, my make up looked flawless and glamorous! My make up can go for a day time events or I'll just add some red lipstick for parties.

Cue music: I feel so pretty, oh so pretty...

My make up was still intact after a few hours. Yay!!

Now here's your chance to be a professional make up artist and upgrade your personal skills. Learn relevant technique based on an established program that includes daily lectures, demonstrations and hands-on exercises. Enroll now at Maquillage Professionnel. Here's their August class schedules. Hurry! Limited seats available!

Again, thank you so much Krissy and ARC PR for the opportunity. I really had a great time and learned a lot. :)
