Kwentong Jollibee for Father's Day 'Powers'

     No fancy gifts, no long messages, I just want to say "Happy Father's Day" to all the fathers out there! In the eyes of children, their fathers are their first superheroes. This Father’s Day, Jollibee showcases this powerful truth in “Powers”, the latest addition to their hit Kwentong Jollibee series.

     “We look-up to our fathers as superheroes because – though it may be unknown to them - they display amazing prowess and strength as they go about fulfilling their duties to their family,” said Francis Flores, Jollibee Global Brand Chief Marketing Officer and PH Marketing Head.

SM World of Beauty

     I was in high school, I often hear my mom talking to my titas who live abroad about makeup brands that are not available locally. Two of my aunts work at Macy's that's why if there's a new shade of lipstick from my mom's favorite brand, she will just tell it to them but it will take a year before the balikbayan boxes will arrive at our doorsteps.

     To cut a long story short, it's hard to buy makeup from brands that are exclusively available abroad but now, hoarding buying is a breeze because all the coveted brands from different parts of the world are exclusively available at SM World of Beauty! Let me share with you some of my fave brands from around the world below :)

National Book Store Mommy Diaries with Jackie Go

     Hello, mommies! I presume that you've seen your favorite mommy and lifestyle bloggers in National Book Store's Facebook page sharing their back-to-school tips and shopping haul. Last month, I was invited to be a part of their back-to-school campaign.

     Back-to-school is a stressful season for some families because of the tuition fees and other expenses including a new set of uniforms, books, and school supplies. To lessen the burden financially, National Book Store together with yours truly made a video called "Mommy Diaries" together with mommy of 2, Jackie Go. If you haven't watched the video yet, I'm inviting you to watch it below :)

     

     Thank you so much, National Book Store for letting me share simple tips and advice to all the mommies out there now that it's back to school once again. I hope that you've learned from us and will help you cope in one of the most exciting seasons of the year.

Do you have tips and advice to all the families this back-to-school season?

Carl Schmidt Sohn Kitchen and Cookware

     I consider kitchen and cookware products a lifetime investment since we cook our food every day. My husband loves to cook and I'm proud to say that he is the type who will invest in quality kitchen wares because of the wear and tear in the long run.

     Tired of buying kitchen knives and cookware that does not last long? If you think you are saving money by buying inexpensive but low-grade kitchen tools then think again. Low-priced alternatives will cost you more as these need to be replaced after only being used for a little time. It’s time to invest in the right kitchen tools! Sharing with you a brand that's worth every money you'll spend below :)

Cake Boss is in Town!

     Baking runs in the family. We have a bakeshop before and the feeling of waking up to the aroma of bread inside the oven is something to look forward to every day. We sell different kinds of bread and pastries plus yummy cakes too. But it's ironic that even though I grew up in a family of bakers, I don't know how to make bread, cake, or pastry. That having said, have you ever imagined baking alongside Chef Buddy Valastro from the popular American reality TV show Cake Boss? 

     Baking with Chef Buddy may seem to be a dream but the possibility of having your own Cake Boss baking and decorating tools, designed and patterned with those that are being used in the popular TV show, is now within your arm’s reach. More information on Cake Boss and their products below :)
