As a parent, one of our dreams would be to see our children excel in their studies. We make sure that we prepare them; by enrolling them to different center that we think could train them to be excellent. Tutorials left and right, English, Math, so many to mention, but are they ready? really ready ? Last week I visit a center BrainFit Studio .As I tour the center, there are so many facts that I have learned. I found out that if I want a better performance for my child, they have to be brain fit, in the way that suits them. Strong brain fitness builds mental foundation needed for life-long learning success and for achieving A+ academic grade. With fit brains, my children will find it easier and will enjoy more learning new things, be it subjects in school, languages, or new skills like ballet or fencing. With a sense of accomplishment comes higher self-esteem and confidence, a happier child would be the result.   Building brain fitness is a fun and engaging process that does no...

I always go to the supermarket with my son EJ during the weekend. We do the grocery together, this is also my way to bond with him and to make sure that I got all what he needs during his school days. One of his favorite baon is the hotdog. During one of our visit, a free taste of a new hotdog was presented. EJ usually taste freebies that are present in supermarket, it’s our way of knowing new products in the market. After going back 6 times to the free taste station, I finally had it and had to buy the BIG BOY Hotdog that EJ keeps coming back. I usually buy the usual brand, but this time, it’s a different story. BIG BOY Hotdog made it to the counter and to our home. Upon arriving, EJ immediately request that I cooked him some BIG BOY Hotdog for dinner. I was so curious why EJ so loved the taste, that I cooked two extra one for myself. Big Boy Hotdog is juicy and the cheese is noticeable. Since it’s a new brand I had to make some research if I had to continue patronizing it. I found...

I have always been searching for a place to unwind and feel the comfort away from stress. As a mother, it’s a dream and I have been longing to make it happen. All  I could think of is the high-priced counterpart of it but I fall short with my thoughts. In my own little way, I replenish myself by going to the BlueWater Day Spa.    In most cases we always find the attendants accommodating despite the fact that we all look closely on the service’s affordability. These are usual services that as a paying customer we wish to get more than what we paid for. Going to  the BlueWater Day Spa appealed to me for a couple reasons; first, I find it relaxing yet nevertheless it’s a way to return back the favour to myself after a day’s work. As a mother, much is expected from me to do the household chores.    Second, would be on health reasons. I always look forward to see my son and daughters grow to be the person that they are ought to be. A moment in the ...

As a mom, I was always on a look-out for ways and means as to how to earn extra earnings that would help with our monthly expenses. Having five kids in the five is not an easy task; sending them to school and providing for their needs plus the everyday expenses take a large toll in our pocket. I was lucky enough to be informed that even my vehicle could help in my finances. With the continuous rising of prices of gas and diesel, I view my car more in the expenditure side rather than an income generating business.  With my car, I was able to generate extra earnings in form of gas just by installing a sticker that promotes a brand of a company. Working in a billboard advertising company a few years back, I know for a fact that the cost for advertising product cost a large amount of money. There are many process to follow and permits to acquire before a company could advertise their product in a billboard. There are other ways to promote or advertise a certain brand, but it doe...

I was at a recent event last week with other bloggers. One of the business partners that had a booth was a company that deals with transportation. I just could not help thinking about my car; it’s a NISSAN SENTRA Limited Edition Super Touring 1996, with Plate No. ULT 547 I had just given birth to my 4 th child, and it has been a tradition that we should acquire a new vehicle to commemorate its birth. During that time, I have a construction business and at the same time a hardware store. The entire vehicle that we purchase had something to do with the business I hand. There’s a six wheeler truck, a four wheel, a dump truck, I even have a sidecar. We consider purchasing the NISSAN SENTRA because first, it’s a limited edition. The car looks like a sports car. With four children back then, my Nissan Sentra was just perfect for us. With the knowledge that the brand goes with quality and performance, we didn’t hesitate to acquire this blue sporty look vehicle. I could also say it serve i...
