MOMI SINGS & DANCES| Christmas shopping at Rustan’s Supermarket

· Leave a Comment

My Big Bunso approached me last Saturday and whispered, “It is 36 days before Christmas, mama.”

I haven’t actually started my Holiday shopping for friends and loved ones.  I haven’t visited our favorite supermarket as well and bought our Christmas needs.  So the following day, with nothing much to do, we made a trip to Rustan’s Supermarket.  And it was such a fun visit as the supermarket sure knows how to celebrate the holiday traditions with its new offerings.  These selections guarantee the joy of feasting.

Thoughtfully selected gifts from around the world and tastefully prepared platters to spread the holiday cheer were aplenty as we made our rounds within the supermarket.   My husband was delighted when he saw those Mixed Platters (P1255/set) of cheese and cured meat.  He even teased his wife to be a little braver and opt to make our own platter from the wide array of imported cheeses from Rustan’s.  Of course, we also visited the supermarket’s broad selection of wine.

As we went further, husband’s eyes feasted on the dinner menu plate full of sushi, sashimi, and maki.  He loves California Maki the most and we did not go home without those sushi platters.

MOMI TIPS| Let GO!

· Leave a Comment

Let go!  Rereading the book “30 days to a simpler life” teaches me to let go.  I am not dropping out.  Simplicity is about scaling down, not dropping out.  I am just letting go of some things (I thought valuable), and giving them a chance to be useful to others.

Sharing with you the things I’ve learned from this book written by Connie Cox and Cris Evatt.

On day 14 to simplifying my life, authors Connie and Cris stress the need to stop stockpiling books and magazines.

MOMI TIPS| How to achieve financial freedom?

· 36 Comments

The baby was sleeping.  I got up and scanned our bookshelf.  I looked for something nice to read.  I grabbed this two-year-old book and started reading it again.  Then I remembered a blog I posted years ago.  It was about FINANCIAL FREEDOM.   And I would like to share with you this blog post and hope you learn something from it.

Go for Financial Freedom

March 12, 2014

The book I am reading says to achieve financial freedom, one must focus on FREEDOM first.  One must make it a goal, though it may be his biggest challenge as well.

MOMI TIPS| managing school allowance

· Leave a Comment

My boys are growing up so fast and smart. They can now make their own decision as to what school club or community group to join. They prepare their school uniforms, groom themselves, and choose what clothes to wear to church service. They have the liberty to decide, and I could see that they enjoy that kind of privilege.

This school year, though I still prepare their lunch and recess, I give them their Wednesday to decide on what food to eat at school. They get to have their allowance.

An allowance, I believe, is a wise way to give the boys complete control over something and let them make their decisions. They can have burgers or fries or anything as long as they use their money to feed their stomachs and not their vices.

MOMI DISCOVERS| Fight stress with Robust Energy

· 1 Comment

My past few weeks were so stressful.  I had a flu for a week.  Worst, my one-year-old was confined to a hospital.  Before that, though,  we’ve been to a hospital’s emergency room twice.  My son got a high fever and it never went down below 39.3-degree celsius.

How to fight stress?

Stress is not only an emotional burden.  It can- in any way- affect our physical strength.   Studies have shown that people with higher energy handle stress more without feeling burnt out.  It is safe to assume then that energy is one of the ways to easily cope up with stress.  We need to make sure that we have more energy every day in order to fight stress better!

MOMI SHARES| Easy Christmas List with Groupon Coupon

· Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post. All thoughts and words are the author’s own.

Christmas is fast approaching!  Surely, this early, some of you have already readied your list of what-to-buy for your family and friends.  And as some find it difficult to complete theirs, others maybe are struggling to start their lists.  I would love to share with you one trick I always apply as I make my own listing of Holiday presents for loved ones.

Lifestyle

For years, I always base my listing on my loved ones’ lifestyle.  If that would be too complicated, I check on their wants.   My husband, for instance, loves wine.  He is a Structural Engineer and for every project done, he would buy a bottle and engrave the date and name of the project completed.  He also buys a bottle or two every time he fancies celebrating at home.  I remember when I used to work and bring home a bottle of Chardonnay or Cabernet as tokens from a client, he would be the happiest and say, “A new baby for my wine cellar!”  And so, buying him wine or giving him Groupon Coupon to choose his favorite bottle would certainly be a good decision.  For this, I always check on Wine.com Coupon Code  for its latest listings.

With over 10,000 wines offered each year from over 100 names and 50 varietals, I know husband would certainly love shopping around.    It is good to note, too, that deciding which wine pairs best with grilled salmon or steak is a breeze with its food and wine-pairing tool!

Favorites

Another favorite Groupon Coupon Code I often check is Clinique coupon code.  My mother just so love the brand and giving her a new Clinique is definitely a money not wasted.  She would often receive scarfs and bottles of perfumes for the holidays and they would end up inside her dresser.  Some, she would force me to get and use.  But buying her favorite brand would certainly make her the happiest.  And I just love seeing her happy.  She raised me and nurtured me.  She still raises me and nurtures me.  And I just want her to feel she is always appreciated and loved with my Clinique gift to her.

With the Holidays fast approaching, giving gifts to our loved ones is one thing we always find time.  And for our presents not be left untouched or recycled as a gift to others, it is good to note of our friends or family’s lifestyle and favorites.    Shopping at Groupon Coupon would certainly be a wise decision, too.  There are about 77,183 free coupons at 11,191 stores to choose from.  And if you find it too overwhelming to choose from its thousands of shops, fret not.  Again, start with your loved ones’ lifestyle and favorite.  And you wouldn’t go wrong, for sure.

MOMI RECOMMENDS| my boys drink milk from happy cows

· Leave a Comment

This momi has a penchant for research.  Whatever my boys love, I do further readings to check if the product is indeed good for my children.  And one favorite drink they always ask me to buy is the Jolly Cow Fresh Milk.  I, too, tried it and since then use the product in our home cooking and sometimes, on my cereals.  I just love its creaminess  and full-bodied texture.  But beyond that, my readings led me to discover that each carton of Jolly Cow Fresh Milk comes from happy cows.

finest breed of free-range cattle of Europe

Just like any milk, Jolly Cow Fresh Milk is rich in calcium, vitamins, and minerals.  But what makes it truly different is its intrinsic flavor that comes from the finest breed of free-range cattle of Europe.  This means cows are allowed to graze freely and feed on natural grass instead of processed feeds.  They stay in a clean and cozy environment with drinking water fit for humans.   And since these cows are grown and milked in the Northern side of the world- where wider and well-heeled grasslands are in abundance- consumers are assured that the cows are naturally fed.

Also, these cows are well-bred by cooperative farmers who know them by their names!   These farmers ensure the cows only undergo a milking process that doesn’t make them feel uncomfortable.  This guarantees that all Jolly Cow milk will only come from “happy cows”.   This ensures that customers will enjoy a tastier, healthier, and creamylicious milk in every Jolly Cow pack.

The Jolly Cow Milk process

To maintain Jolly Cow Fresh Milk’s freshness and nutritional value, the extracted milk undergoes ultra-high temperature (UHT) process.  This process passed high quality control standards of Europe, ensuring all consumers get a high quality product. The unique UHT process, which wards off any possible harmful microorganism prior to wrapping and shipping also extends shell life so the taste and quality remains consistent.

Because “happy cows are healthy cows’, all packs of Jolly Cow Fresh Milk offers the best value for-money with top notch taste and health benefits. So if you’re looking for an affordable and creamylicious calcium source, you won’t find anything resembling to Jolly Cow Fresh Milk— pure, fresh, natural and definitely comes from happy cows.  I should know.  My boys said so once.  I have tried it as well.  And read about it, too.  

Jolly Cow Fresh Milk 1 liter and 200 ml size are both available in leading supermarkets, and groceries nationwide.   It is a product of Fly Ace Corporation.  Fly Ace Corporation is one of the leading food and beverage consumer goods companies in the country today. Propelling limitless multiple-category growth by bringing the best of the world closer to Filipino consumers, Fly Ace Corporation’s portfolio of food and beverage products includes house brands and exclusively distributed brands.

MOMI RECOMMENDS| MedGate PH: Doctor in your hand

Feeling helpless is one of those situations I do not want to see myself into.  I find myself independent and bold.  Thus, I always look for a solution to every problem.  And I deal with them confidently.

Last week, though, I felt a little helpless.  I had flu.  Usually, I do not take medication as I breastfeed my son.  I do not want my boy to take anything other than the nutrients from the food I eat.  To battle flu, I  drank plenty of water and ate fruits.  I also slept early than my usual schedule.

A few days after, our one-year-old started coughing.  He got a cold, too. Worst, he had a fever. From that day he got a fever, I wanted to bring him to his Pediatrician.  But I was not able to as my grade five was still at school.  He did not have a house key.  I was also not feeling well that day and just wanted to stay in bed.

MOMI CELEBRATES| #MerryCremas2016

· Leave a Comment

It is the time of the year again when grocery shopping includes buying cans and boxes of milk and all-purpose cream for our fruit salads and macaroni salads.  Food fairs and bazaars are aplenty, too, where food merchants take center stage and get the opportunity to showcase their delicious products to foodies and the public.  This momi has been to a food fest where more than 30 food concessionaires all geared up showcasing their various specialties to the public.  Food on display was a mix of sweet and savory, and one thing that made it delectable was the use of Alaska Crema All-Purpose Cream.

The Alaska Merry Cremas Food Fest at the Trinoma Activity Center I attended last Sunday was more than fun.  Aside from the mouthwatering food from cakes to cookies, different pastries to even organic food, what made the event a success was the heartwarming support of the public.  They patiently visited each booth and tasted each product.  Some went back to the food carts and ordered dozens of those specialty dishes.
