WHO : On Using Sanofi Pasteur #Dengue Vaccine in endemic countries

When talking about Dengue, the first thing we like to ask is how many Dengue cases occur in the world at the moment. But there are now studies showing that approximately half of the global population has a risk of Dengue, nearly 400 million infections occur every year. And most of those around 70% happen in Asia. That translates nearly to 100 million case of disease.

Recognizing that huge and interesting reality, the World Health Organization has already made a strategic plan since 2012.
Their objectives?
To lessen the mortality of Dengue by 50% and reduce the number of cases by 25%.
Unfortunately, according to them, the target has not made yet.

Say Goodbye to Stress Urinary Incontinence With SvelT’i's #FEMILIFT

At the recent gathering of the blogging world’s most powerful and elite (I kid you not. Minus me, of course), I realized that women health issues can now be graduated from private discussions, bringing it to the fore.

That casual afternoon talked about something intimate, something about 'loving thyself' - for the busy women of today, since we forget about us all the time and our most essential part of our body. A hundred years before that, no one speaks openly about it but a once taboo topic now out from the shadows.

101 Different Ways To Use #Vaseline Petroleum Jelly

The award-winning Vaseline Petroleum Jelly - a staple to many homes (including ours), has truly earned itself a reputation as a dependable healing product that offers moisturizing, soothing, and protective benefits.
Some may say that by using this product breaks their skin out. However, my sensitive skin is totally okay and even feel nice the next morning if I rub it all over. Just avoid using it during the day as it doesn't absorb very quickly.
I remember my mom would use this to us to relieve the pain of sunburn after going to the beach and our skin would recover instantly.
You can also use this on your brows before waxing to lessen the pain.

Yes, these are some of the tried and tested benefits but there are still hundreds of ways you can use the world’s original wonder jelly and below are just a few:

⦁ Post-shave balm. Shaving causes stress to the skin, as it not only removes hair, but the top-most layer of skin, too. After shaving, use Vaseline Petroleum Jelly to soothe skin and replenish moisture, as well as add a layer of protection to prevent irritation and further damage.

Best #PROMATE Christmas Gift Ideas For The Techie Moms And The Not-So

You're probably scrambling now finding the perfect gift since Christmas is almost here. But if the search for the not-so-usual gift is almost impossible and you choose traditional as a last resort, why not consider infusing technology since we're now living in a high-tech world?

Moms like me are allowed to be techie too, no matter what we're into.
If you ask me, I'd be more excited to receive awesome mom-friendly devices than the usual stuff , for me to embrace the culture of technology more, making it an integral part of my lifestyle.

As I was digitally oriented a bit more and information in mind just climbed notch higher at the recently-held Promate Technologies event, investing on Promate devices was the initial goal.

These things can be incredibly useful and make life a little easier for us moms with chaotic schedules.

No doubt, technology has helped us thrive in the most fast-paced, cutting-edge world we live in.

But first, who are they?

Why Smart Moms Choose #SmartSteps

When you become a mom,  you couldn't seem to stop worrying about almost everything, from big issues like finances from one end, to the smallest stuff such as detergent soaps to the other. It is indeed the toughest job in the world and makes you anxious especially if you can't keep on top of things.

Yes, I worry about what to use for laundry too since my daughter has been suffering with horrible rashes that her Allergist diagnosed as Eczema. When I said horrible, I meant the rashes are terribly itchy that it already affected her daily activities including her sleep. Allergy meds are no longer on my priority list of treatments for her to save her liver and I've decided to just stay with Betnovate for temporary relief. 

I, myself is guilty of falling for those detergents or products I see whenever I make a trip to the market. I know most products are not really suitable for their skin but I buy them anyway.

I feel so loved when Smart Steps sent us laundry products to try, as well as their newest products ~

Supergirl Season 2 Now On #HOOQ

When a favorite TV series of mine decided to go on hiatus last summer, a friend sent out her recommendation while I pass the time. Just because my favorite show took a bit of a break didn't mean depriving myself of all the possible entertainment out there. Glad I got HOOQed on one of the best performing contents on HOOQ - Supergirl!

I easily got entwined in Kara Zor-El's (series star MELISSA BENOIST) life and has left me begging for more when Season 1 finale happened.

Fun Rules at #FunRanch San Fernando Pampanga!

After becoming a parent myself, I realized that when traveling with toddlers and tweens, choosing the right destination is really important. The place should offer hands-on activities, where good memories can be built so as to avoid the dreaded “I want to go home!” remark.
Accessibility is one thing too, also with a certain "wow" factor that you'll know when you see it on your children's faces

For years now, Fun Ranch still tops my list of being the ultimate kid-friendly destination because they have all that, with a combined indoor and outdoor exciting hands-on activities that elevates activeness.

My blogger friends and I made a road trip to Pampanga a few weeks ago for the opening event of my favorite place mentioned above.

Updated : #Halloween Events 2016 ( Philippines )

I admit. Halloween has become fun and exciting for me after having kids.
I have evolved into that crazy mom who brainstorms with kumares for clever costume ideas so late at night. Especially now that we have this themed Halloween party annually that truly brought us closer and our kids even more.

This year the theme will be "Candyland" and we're planning to go as baker and cookies. Dad will be the baker, I will become the OVEN and the kids will be the cookies. Cool, eh?
I usually spent way more time thinking about my kids' costumes than my own but since motherhood and blogging has left me without the time and energy to come up with a brilliant costume for us 5, at first I thought I'll just recycle last year's costumes. Glad we have Google. LOL. You can check out what I pulled together the past Halloween, here : http://www.stuckwith3.com/2014/10/lets-dress-up-and-be-crazy-because-its.html

And since Halloween is oh so near, I've gathered a list of October and Halloween events once again, so the haunting..er.. hunting will be easy peasy.
Remember, your kids don't have to be the only ones in costumes this year. Usually they give out awards to parents as well.
So, be creative,people! And don't forget to have fun :)

Movies for OCTOBER 2016 :)

Forgive me for a super late blog post.
I did want to write articles for my blog but my days were filled with stuff and personal things and that included the trip to my doctor's office making it even harder for my mind to construct anything.
But It’s never too late to start planning a trip to the movies since October is movie season and it is officially upon us.

As I write this, my 8-year-old keeps asking me about Max Steel and if he could watch the movie this instant. Of course, I told him he needs to wait a bit more for it will be shown in mid-October.
Max Steel is about the adventures of teenager Max McGrath and alien companion Steel, who must harness and combine their tremendous new powers to evolve into the turbo-charged superhero Max Steel.
Some may think that the theaters will only be filled with sequels and garbage, but the rest of us know better. October indeed is an exciting month for all movie-goers out there :)
The next weeks promise plenty of smart, fun, entertaining movies, giving only the best of both worlds.
So let’s jump right in with the exciting movies to be released this month.

For more of what’s on the horizon, you can bookmark my site. I'll continue to release movie updates the entire year.
In the meantime, you go and enjoy your time at the theaters!
