What We Did at The Jolly Flavorventure Park #JollyCrispyFlavoredFries

Jollibee surely knows how to promote their newest product by launching it with a bang, as they introduced the newest flavors of their beloved Jolly Crispy Fries in an exciting team-building hub in Santa Rosa, Laguna, last April 20.
The Jolly Flavorventure consisted of two teams, #TeamSourCream and #TeamSuperCheese, in that one adventure-filled day.
I was part of the #TeamSuperCheese but it was unfortunate that I wasn't able to join in any of the thrilling adventure.

#McCormick Launches 4 Exciting New Noodle and Seasoning Mixes

I agree.
Those moments that are the most memorable ones are over food. I don't own a food blog but I love taking photos of my meals and I simply love indulging on food and can't seem to separate myself from it.
As Filipinos, we know our food. We really love to eat. And we want to make sure our meals are flavorful and savory. When it comes to adding flavor and spices to our dishes, we have 1 brand that generations of Filipinos is equated with sumptuous dishes, McCormick!
It has been part of every Filipino's kitchen. Honestly, I collect, no, I hoard bottles and bottles of different McCormick products I see in the market. They are those cute bottles in green that add a cute look to your cupboards.
We truly had a delectable and unforgettable evening at the launching of their new products because as we all know, McCormick has always been at the heart of every flavorful dish and comfort food.
They are responsible for real flavors and real moments.

Hurom: Your All-In-One Juice Bar

We have reached mainstream status with the juicing lifestyle.
Many juice bars have been dotting up the landscape as the emphasis on healthier lifestyles is being celebrated.
Buying these signature health juices can be pricey, and the plastic packaging of commercially prepared juices is also not environmentally friendly.
It’s more cost effective to just a buy a juicer at the outset. You get the freshest juice possible at a fraction of the cost.  

4 Nutrition-Rich Juice Recipes for a Healthier You #Hurom

The juice bar has turned into a kind of modern apothecary. The colorful array of bottles that you see about town have become the new vitamin supplements. “Drinking” your vitamins are certainly more delicious alternative than just popping a pill in the morning. Juices also hold the promise of a faster delivery system into your bloodstream.
We all know that we could never have enough fruits and vegetables in our system. Fruits and vegetables are abundant with vitamins, minerals, fiber, phytonutrients, and enzymes.

A 13-year study by University College London only confirms what we have been long told. Eating a daily average of more than seven servings of fruits and vegetables could drastically reduce the risk of all causes of mortality, but eating seven plates of nutrition is easier said than done. Juicing is an excellent way to complement your daily recommended allowance of fruits and vegetables, and taking them in juice form even quadruples their nutrient absorption rate.  But not all juicers are created equal.

Hurom is the world’s best selling juicer that got there by being “slow”.

5 Reasons why I love Aquaria Water park in Calatagan, Batangas

Since it is already mid-April, I took advantage of this hot weather by joining a beach bloggers getaway, also to share the adventures on my blog. Perfect beach session for my family is usually the latter part of the year, when the weather is not so hot. But we know that April and May are the most popular months to go out on the beach and soak up some sunshine, so might as well enjoy this time.

#TeamAquaria left Starbucks early on Thursday morning, to the sound of cars honking because the traffic was horrible already. I heard that the Champ Manny Pacquiao would go on a motorcade that day..that early. So I made sure I left the house at the crack of dawn and stayed at the coffee shop where the bloggers would meet.

Flying Trapeze - Now Part of British School Manila's After School Activity

“As I walked up the 25 steps of the ladder for the first time, I could feel my legs begin to shake. Fear took over. I approached the top of the platform and pulled myself up. I grabbed hold of the bar. In the background, I could hear the words, “ready, 3, 2, 1” and something within me forced me to jump off. For the first time in my life, I actually felt like I was flying through the air, weightless and free. This was the day I fell in love with the sport of Trapezing.” (Izzy Moon)

A Fun-Filled FUJIFILM “Instax and Crafts” Summer Event

I was delighted when a blogger friend of mine invited me to attend a FUJIFILM “Instax and Crafts” event held at Market!Market! last April 9, because honestly, earlier this year, I wanted to start using analog films again as I've always been fascinated with those stuff and wanted to expand my knowledge into instant photography.
I believe that any kid born in the ’80s has a soft spot for self-developing film cameras (such as Polaroid) , and I was fortunate enough to have once owned that gadget myself back then.
As we all know, these kinds of cameras do not produce results as satisfying as the regular film except, perhaps, those equipped with super awesome and expensive sensors. Some may even say that those devices were struggling to stay alive, and that they were hideously poor in quality-- but still, the coolest device.
Agree?

Catch The Premier of “The Lion Guard” this April 17 on Disney Channel

Back then, fun means going out the house and exploring the neighborhood (just like Simba) but mostly it's watching cartoons to pass the time. Disney's The Lion King was one of my guilty pleasures for many years. And now, my kids love the show as well. It's a bit tough to move them from their seat while it's currently being shown on my laptop. And they would still ask for a replay after, then forcing me to watch with them. But it's always a delight doing these things with my kids and those kinds of things should never be neglected.

Disney Cartoons like The Lion King can create a world to which kids can relate to. The triumph of good VS Evil allures the kids to a great extent.
And to my delight,

I was never a Marian Rivera fan but then I saw her beauty and honesty altogether, I was in total awe. I guess everybody was so starstruck. In my head, the word beautiful keeps repeating while staring at her. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful.

StuckWith3 Diaries: Am I a #GSKExpertMom?

11 years ago, I became a parent.  Like most of the parents out there, this had not been my plan.
But my eldest daughter had been conceived and born while I was married, plus two more.
I had imagined that I would be working abroad side by side with my auntie, who is currently manages a hospital laboratory somewhere in Chicago. That was the whole plan. But the universe has other plans for me.
So, anyway, as a young and new mom, I became very protective of my kids. It was like "Instincts Gone Wild", specially when cleanliness is involved. I wanted my kids to be germ-free every single time that I already compromised their health and immunity.
One mom I knew whose kids grew up on a farm seem to show lower rates of allergies. My pack kind of didn't learn to adapt and interact with germs so they tend to easily get allergies from...almost everything. I though I was a failure mom.
The children of today seem to pick up all kinds of bugs and colds much faster than we ever did when we were growing up.
So, what to do? How can we make our kids allergy-free?

But first, we need to have our perfect summer buddy for... our feet.

5 FUN Things : Why We Love Egg Hunting At #FunRanch

Going to a party with 3 kids in tow is no joke, I tell ya. But the key to making all of us stress-free and happy is finding the perfect party place that can offer both enjoyment and relaxation for the kids.
That is why we always choose to go to Fun Ranch in Ortigas.

Hosting a party can be stressful indeed and throwing a great party is really challenging specially when the guest list includes both adults and kids. But Fun Ranch has always been so organized and packed with the attitude of generosity and hospitality-- treating everyone like they were in your own family.

Movies for APRIL 2016 :)

The latter part of the past month has been one of those you wish it was just part of an early April Fools fun. But it was not. Too much disturbing and sad news. Not that I'm part of their family, but after learning about the little girl's inspirational story, my heart kept on hoping for a miracle.
My sentiment here is not related to this post at all, I know, but it was hard for me to move on and I break down every single time I see a photo of them on my news feed.
Saddening but there are still better days ahead for most of us, and they're called weekends. Weekends are made for families to bond after a long and draining battle at work.
As I always say, life is short. Enjoy your time with the family as much as you can, like going to the movies together.
And as always, I posted here the movies to see this April.
Enjoy and have a blessed weekend to you all :)
