We are lucky parents because our generation encourages our little girls not only to pursue greatness through physical beauty but by being achievers themselves. And it’s not about being successful in certain types of careers but in fields which they will truly enjoy. I’ve always known Barbie as the ultimate fashionista icon and that girls who play with Barbie dolls can only look up to her because of her beauty and her relationship with Ken. Because of these aspects, I once thought that her character only fits in the little girls’...
I’m jumping into the bandwagon of using #ChangeIsComing quotes but in this case, let the change come to our homes. It’s time to change the traditional way of thinking that only women should work at home when it comes to household chores. It’s the modern times already and women had already been elected to the highest positions and there had been a woman who went to the moon. It’s the era when gender equality is being recognized, and so thus, into our homes. 2 pairs of hands are better than 1 when it comes to doing...
How do you like your dishwashing liquid? With so many brands out there, how do you pick the ones which will be included in your grocery list? Me, I have a check list: 1. It must produce a lot of bubbles or concentrated. The more bubbles, the more it can clean. It also means that I should be able to wash many dishes by using only a small portion. 3. It should be able to remove grease and dried out food particles easily. The hardest to remove plates and utensils are the food particles which were left to dry. You need to soak them first to...
TFC.tv is the online platform of The Filipino Channel of ABS-CBN. In this website, I can watch all the episodes of the soap operas of ABS-CBN even from the past. I can also watch previous movies made by my favorite local celebrities. You can also watch ABS CBN news channels in it. I haven’t explored all the features yet but so far, these programs were my favorites. I am not loyal to any local TV Channel because watching tv, soaps or movies is truly a luxury to me . I hardly have enough time and when I do, I sometimes want to catch...
The event I attended tagged as Cebuana Lhuillier’s #NationalPilipinoProtektadoDay held at the posh Fairmont Hotel in Makati made me realize how important having even the least insurance for your family’s protection as much as possible. No one can be a hundred percent certain of their financial status all the time. Even if you think you have saved enough, sometimes situations can just be too unexpected and many people had been left with nothing.

We can never underestimate dish washing, right? After all, our health also depends in how clean our plates, glasses and utensils at home. But cleaning our dishes doesn’t mean getting rid of the food remains only but also making sure that there were no soap left on our plates after we wash them. We always want to be sure that our kids do not take in harmful chemicals when using the plates and utensils. At the same time, we also want to be sure that all the bacteria are killed once we wash our dishes. Recently, I was introduced...
Mega comes from the Greek μέγας megas, meaning “great” . But how can a mom really be a great Mom, a Mega Mom? For me, motherhood can actually be as complex as you want to think of it, but it can also be as simple as being a person in the family who will always think of her family first before herself. People are naturally born selfish, but when you become a mom and you really own it, you think of yourself less. I truly felt that the moment my husband and I knew that we were pregnant with my eldest daughter. In my elements...
