MOMI RECOMMENDS| Fucidin for wound infection

· 11 Comments

Infection can develop in any kind of wound. Infection occurs when bacteria enters the wound through an opening in one’s skin.  Though there are a number of precautions to prevent wound infection from developing, still when bacteria spreads, it may lead to a more serious disease.

This happened to my Firstborn when he was just about seven years old.  He would easily get hurt, be exposed to different types of wounds, and get an infection after.  I learned that it is not only prudent to wash the wound well with antibacterial soap and water.  Cleaning is simply not enough.  It is essential to apply a topical antibiotic at the first sign of wound infection.

MOMI SHARES| Mommy Republic: beyond happy place, is an inspiration

· 12 Comments

I first blogged about the Mommy Republic, a mom’s happy place,  7 months ago. Since then, I regularly visit this virtual place where mommy buyers and sellers converge.  Aside from discovering new product offerings and services, what inspires me to spend time there is the warm support each member of this Filipino community extends.

Recently, Edie Acedera and Kate Yu, the brains behind the Mommy Republic, surprised everyone with another venture.  And just like the online marketplace the Mommy Republic, this newest undertaking again aims to tickle our interest on entrepreneurship.  Also, it lets us understand the powerful new generation called the millennials.

MOMI SHARES| The gift of health and care

· Leave a Comment

Last Sunday, my family went out for lunch.  We haven’t been to U.P. Town Center so we opted to visit the place and have our lunch there.  The place was jam-packed and most diners were full.  We waited for an hour to be seated and almost 30 minutes for our food to be served.  That perhaps has always been the course of events come Mother’s Day.

Our moms are the most selfless, compassionate, and resilient individuals.  Thus, perhaps on Mother’s Day, we really do our best to make them feel special.  Nevermind the long line and wait or jam-packed malls.  But more than celebrating Mother’s Day outside, another way to do that is by giving them a gift that endures – the gift of a happier life.   We have here a few simple tips to make that happen not only on Mother’s Day but anytime of the year.

MOMI SHARES| Make Mother’s Day Unforgettable

· 1 Comment

I do not want to regard this post as too late.  But for families who just got too busy yesterday and weren’t able to celebrate Mother’s Day, here is your chance to make this once-a-year celebration truly unforgettable.

Make Mother’s Day Unforgettable

Mothers deserve only the best. Not because I am a mom myself.  But because I have a mom who only gives the best for me and my kids.  She works doubly hard not because she needs to, but because she wants to.  Though she is already at her 60s, she still does not want to retire.  She wants her daughter and her grandchildren to experience the life of comfort – the life she wasn’t able to give to her only child.  My mother is also very dedicated to taking care of me even if I am all grown up.  And she extends the same care and love to my boys.

This Mother’s Day, most of us went beyond the distance to make this one holiday in the year extra special.  And for some who weren’t able to do so, we could still let them know that we appreciate and care for them.  After all, I guess with all the sacrifices our moms extend to us, they deserve royal treatment from us all year round.

MOMI LEARNS| Everything has two sides

· 5 Comments

Everything has two sides.

I must say I am thankful that I decided to join the fanatics and gamers as they welcome back the coming of Ragnarok Online.  I learned something I never imagined I would gain in such an event.

Everything has two sides

Everything has two sides

Everything has two sides

The very amiable Kamphee Phiromwad, Managing Director of Electronics Extreme, started the press conference with a video about a gamer and the people around him.  The gamer’s loved ones cannot understand his love for gaming, while his friends and guild support him all the way.  The short yet touching video showed that everything contains a good and a bad depending on how one views it. After watching the flick, I now had a better view of how gamers think, feel, and speak.  Indeed, everything has two sides.  And I am just glad I was able to understand the other side.

We just love anything cold and refreshing.  And with summer’s scorching heat around, there’s nothing more delightful than sipping something cold and fruity. Good thing our friends from Fly Ace Corporation sent a few bottles of Old Orchard Cranberry Juice to quench our thirst for something sweet and tart.  We could have this drink anytime of the day to complement our dishes from breakfast, lunch and even dinner.  We also got a copy of some easy-to-prepare Summer Cooler recipes.   And we are sharing these recipes with you.  Surely, whether you’re at home, on a vacation-out-of-town, or at a get-together party, these delightful non-alcoholic infusions would be a good company and help bring along the fun!

MOMI SHARES| Zap head lice with Blitz Nitz

· 4 Comments

This post has long been overdue.  I should have posted this last April, very timely for the summer season.  Though we could still feel the scorching heat, it can’t be denied that occasional rainfall occurs now.  This signals the rainy season is fast approaching.  Anyway, I still would like to share with you one happy post.

More than a month ago, Momi Berlin received a complete line of the Euky Bear Blitz Nitz products.  The brand is clinically proven to kill head lice.  Each has natural essential oils and does not contain chemical pesticides or insecticides that may be harmful to children or users.  This Australian made and owned product is suitable for children two years and up and is available in the country in select specialty stores within the Metro.

Sharing Blitz Nitz through social media

Sharing is good, and with digital technology, sharing is easy.

Richard Stallman

Momi Berlin shared a few facts about head lice and how they are treated.  She wrote this via PSST.Ph, an online magazine where she regularly contributes as a writer.  After a few days, she received an email from a concerned mother asking more about the topic.  It turned out that her seven-year-old daughter is suffering from head lice.  With no one to give the set she got from Koofty Enterprise, this mom decided to share the shampoo, lotion, and spray to her new friend.  And it was only last week that the mother and daughter shared their Blitz Nitz experience.  Now, I am sharing their story to you.

MOMI SHARES| Denny’s: What are you hungry for?

· 4 Comments

We always tend to rush every morning even skipping breakfast instead of dropping other unnecessary things that fill our morning.  Perhaps we haven’t truly realized yet the importance of breakfast, even inadvertently or intentionally forgetting it in favor of some extra sleep.  What we are unaware is its adverse effect on our health.

Aside from affecting our mood, skipping breakfast may lead to underperformance at our day’s work. Also, we may tend to keep forgetting things and ultimately lower our energy levels.

Importance of Breakfast

It is for this reason that I value a hearty breakfast especially if shared with my boys. And we have a favorite place to enjoy a filling one.  The famous all-day diner in California is now in the Philippines! And just like the American original, the Denny’s here serves our breakfast food fix at any time during the day.

Let me share with you some of Denny’s gorgeous plated meals which will surely delight your eyes and appetite.

MOMI DISCOVERS| Make learning extraordinary at Sparklelab

· 12 Comments

This momi and her 11-year-old son just came from a place where her boy learned stop motion animation.  He is joined by other curious kids almost his age, and others even younger than him.  Together, they made a short animation about Zombie Apocalypse using toy soldiers, Lego’s, and building blocks.  Of course, everything wouldn’t be successfully weaved together without their imagination and great interest in technology and the arts.  The place is called Sparklelab, and it is finally coming to a location near you soonest.

My son is excited for July.  We were told that Sparklelab will open its first franchise location in Quezon City.  This means we need not travel to San Juan for his Get Reel class.  We live in Quezon City and he could even enroll in Sparklelab’s after school classes should he wishes to.
