Safeguard Soap Alarm: My New Partner in Family Safety

My family’s health is and will forever be my priority. No amount of wealth could be compare to it, for money is useless if they are sick and won’t be able to enjoy life doing what they want. As a mom, I was always on the lookout for thing that could help my children be healthy. Whenever one of my kids is sick, the whole family is affected not only emotionally, physically but financially as well.  I always remind them that little things matter, just like hand washing is important because it will stop the spread of germs and diseases. But there are times that even though how many times I remind them to wash their hands, they seems to forget.

It was by chance that I discovered the Safeguard Soap Alarm. I was at McDonald’s and need to go the washroom and found this red soap dispenser installed on the wall. I was still washing my hand when someone went out, and all of the sudden; an alarm went on. The alarm was triggered once a person leaves a toilet cubicle and it only stop when the soap dispenser was pressed. 

Birthday Celebration :the Banzai Way

I am the eldest and the only girl in the family. I take my being a big sister seriously that even though my sibling are all grown up and other have their own family, I still make an effort to be part of their life, especially during their birthdays. I could still remember when I used to bring them to park like Nayong Pilipino to celebrate their big day.

April 9 was declared a holiday but not for me. As early as 5 am, I was already up and accompanying my brother Melvin to the NAIA1 going to Abu Dhabi. I went home around 8 am to get some sleep and meet our youngest Arnel, who will be celebrating his birthday on April 12. Since we are both working that on the day of his birthday, we decided to celebrate it on April 9.  We love to eat out and we particularly love Japanese food; the maki, the sushi, the tepanyaki, the ramen. What better way to celebrate his birthday but to dine at the BANZAI. It’s the newest Japanese Restaurant that recently opened and making a big buzz when it comes to buffet style.

 The good thing about that day was, even though it’s not yet Arnel birthday, Banzai has an ongoing promo for birthday celebrant. 3 days before or 3 days after the actual date (you have to present an ID for verification), the celebrant is free provided that he/she has 3 paying guest with him/her.

Arnel even had a mini birthday cake with matching birthday song

Normally, a Zumba session last for just 1 hour but since they enjoy doing the Zumba and with the help of Pure Jus; they did it.

Pure Jus host an event for the those who love to sweat it out and get to taste the juice made only from finest organic produce

Mother and Daughter Bonding Time at the Bloosom Floral Spa

I promise my girls that after their recitals and show, I would definitely pamper them and will have our mother and daughter bonding on a spa. We are a regular customer at a water spa but I choose to give them a different type of pampering this time.  I have been a spaholic lately and was always on a look out for a new spa from time to time. Last week, we choose to go to Blossom Floral Spa (it’s not a flower shop) in Quezon City.

Breeze urges moms to join the Sige Sabado movement and say Yes to Learning!

Mommies play the important role of being their children’s first and foremost teacher. They have the power to ensure their children grow up to be well rounded and happy kids. However, moms, by nature, have the tendency to be over protective of their children especially with regards to being messy. They often associate getting dirty and stained with something negative such as being irresponsible as well as hard work for them in terms of cleaning. This is the kind of mindset that Breeze, one of the country’s leading detergent brands, would want moms to change. Since Breeze strongly believes that life’s lessons are best learned through experience, the brand strongly encourages moms to adopt the Sige sa Mantsa philosophy which is all about allowing their kids to be kids and explore and learn positive values even at the expense of getting dirty and stained. 

Saturdays are for the family

To further forward the advocacy of child learning and development, Breeze launched the Sige Sabado Movement which calls on moms to dedicate Saturdays to their kids. Sige Sabado hopes to encourage moms to spend their Saturdays creating lasting memories with their children by doing fun bonding activities together. Even if this means often getting dirty and stained, it’s okay since Sige Moms know that what matters most are the values learned, memories created and fun enjoyed in the process. Because of its strong stain removal power, Breeze is mom’s number one partner in encouraging active play and experiential learning since mom doesn't need to worry about the mess this often brings.
