Fight Smelly Clothes With #DownyBoomBoomPow

Sa lahat ng poll na ginawa ko, ito ang pinakapatok: Anong amoy ang pinaka ayaw mong kumakapit sa damit mo?

52 shares and 139 comments.. marami talaga ang ayaw sa mabahong damit. Bad trip naman talaga di ba? Yung tipong kakaligo mo lang tapos lalabas ka ng bahay, wala pang 30 minutes amoy usok ka na. Nyaaaay

In a recent survey on malodors, the top 10 tough malodors on clothes are:

vehicle exhaust
cigarette smoke
smoke from burning garbage
sweat and body odor
wet socks
kulob
fried fish
barbecue
garlic
Onions

I know you have been waiting for this moment, for me to announce the winner of my Malodors poll. Lahat kayo may tama and the winner was not chosen based on her/his answer, swerte swertihan lang ba. Soooo here it is:

Now let’s talk about how we can eliminate these malodors on our clothes. Alangan magbihis ka maya’t maya di ba? In a not so recent event, we got the chance to expereince malodors on our clothes. Akalain nyong nag ihaw si Chef JP Anglo sa harap namin. Imagine a not so big room with like more than 20 people tapos may iniihaw na liempo at isda. Kumusta di ba? Before the cooking demo, pinag suot kame ng apron, some got the blue, some the pink one. You guessed it right, the other apron may downy, the other one wala. And we were surprised with the result! Nakakaloka ang baho nung apron na walang Downy. ANG BAHOOOOO talaga! The other one, ang linis pa rin ng amoy!

Here’s an explanation how Downy works:

The newest technology from Downy softener contains the breakthrough Malodor Removal Technology which does not just “mask” malodor with aromatic ingredients, but effectively eliminates tough malodors which stick to clothes completely.. This prevents the odor-causing material from being released again. The Perfume Micro Capsules, which are spread and embedded on fabric while washing, will help bring back the refreshing fragrance on clothes. Together, the Malodor Removal Technology and the Perfume Micro Capsules harmoniously work to help neutralize all tough smells and create longer lasting fragrant smells on clothes every time the fabrics are rubbed.

This innovative product formulation is also complemented with modern and colorful product packaging for all five Downy fragrances:

Sunrise Fresh (for quick drying, even indoors)
Antibac (to keep germs away for the whole family)
Garden Bloom (for wonderful floral freshness)
Single Rinse (for quick rinsing with less water)
Baby Gentle (for the safety of sensitive baby skin)

And that’s how you fight malodors on your clothes with #DownyBoomBoomPow. Watch how me and Sofi fight amoy palengke in our clothes:

The new Downy with the Malodor Removal Technology and the Perfume Micro Capsules are now available in supermarkets nationwide. More information can be found on www.facebook/downyphilippines or follow the conversation online with the hashtag: #DownyBoomBoomPow

Is My Baby Too Clingy or Am I Just Too Busy?

Marius is my 5th child. He’s clingy, even more than his siblings were. I was guessing because he lost his twin, he is extra clingy. When people ask me about Marius, I usually answer, ay he’s extra clingy. Realizing later on that I don’t want him to be known as the clingy baby. He’s a very happy baby actually. At 7 months he already knows how to kiss. He’s also a tall baby and already knows what no means. More than being clingy, he is an adorable baby. Make that SUPER DUPER ADORABLE!

Pero teka nga muna! He’s only 7 months old. He is supposed to be clingy. Let me rephrase that. He is supposed to be with me most of the times! He needs my milk, he needs my warmth, he needs mommy all the time. He is actually not clingy, there’s just so many things I wanna do.

GUILTY!

You know how I can secure deals while breastfeeding and I am thinking, I could do more if I am on my pc. I can do a lot if I just stop and get out of the bed. If only Marius would let my boobs go.. or if only he’d sleep more deeply, I can get up. The thing is, every time I try to move, he’d move! He’s sabotaging my “work” time!

Or like when I need to be there for my other kids? You know when one of them needs me or that when I need to go to school because one or two of them left something behind. You know, moments like that. But Marius won’t let me go.

I rot in our bed breastfeeding while the world goes around without me.

AND I HAVE TO STOP RIGHT THERE.

I realized that right now, my world is him. I mean, yeah, I have 4 other kids but they’re all well enough to be on their own in a way. And the internet, my blog, my social media accounts, it can all wait. In this age where everything is fast pacing, I need to slow down and re-learn how to be a mom! I need to chill and be more kind and forgiving to myself. I know I am great at a lot of things but I am greatest being a mom.

Just so you know, I am writing this with sore boobs since I let Marius fell asleep on my boobs. I did not rush him to sleep and he made me finish this post! Hurray!

Aaaaaand almost a week after, I thought I am done with this post and I am not! A few minutes before putting a featured image, the little boy cried and so I had to stop and put this on hold.

And I am back because he is with his lola which he missed so much since we were the Ariel event the whole day yesterday.

So what am I trying to say? Ah yes, that I am relearning how to be a mother again, in the world where everything is fast. It’s hard di ba?

Obviously, I am just too busy, my mind is too busy. He is not clingy, he’s just being adorable.

Is Focus Still The Word? 2016 is Soon To End!

I am actually stuck in 3 worlds right now when it comes to blogging. I want to learn new things in terms of marketing. I do want to blog but I also want to mumble. A lot of stuff is in my head most of the times and it is really hard figuring out what I want and need to do. As I have said at the start of 2016, my one word for this year is FOCUS.

So where am I in that department?!? STILL STRUGGLING!!

Wait, I can’t even remember what I said back then. I don’t have a focus board to remind me (I really need to set up a working place and not squat in my husband’s desk). Revisiting my post, and here we are:

FOCUS on being grateful everyday. On thanking God for all the blessings, specially the gift of life.

FOCUS on our finances. On panning what to buy, not to buy and how to save for things that really matters.

FOCUS on being a better partner everyday. On making my husband feel how blessed I am to be married to him

FOCUS on teaching my kids the importance of family and instilling them positive family values.

FOCUS on my blog, specially on the contents. Stay on track.

FOCUS on inspiring others, giving nothing but happiness and noticing nothing but their goodness.

Where did the time goooo?!? We are on last quarter of the year and I am still here trying to focus!

On gratefulness, I felt that I improved on this a bit but still not the way I want it to be. I remember I want to post a Friday grateful thingy but never really got the chance to do it. I am grateful everyday but I wish I have been more expressive about it.

On finances, really?!? OMG! hahah in a way yes. I am no longer that compulsive buyer.. sa food na lang. It’s hard to say no to a box or two of Melona!!!

On being a better partner, yun oh!! Well, I have been getting what I want lately, so it must mean I am doing stuff that he likes.

On teaching my kids the importance of family and instilling to them positive family values, we are more focused now on their personalities rather than their grades so I guess I am doing good on this one too.

Nooooow when it comes to blogging, I do have goals for this year, like increase my FB page, IG and Twitter followings to 5000 and increase my traffic to 2k per day.. Peroooooo why it is sooooo hard! I want to focus on content too not this blabber kind of content perooo san ba nakakabili ng oras?!?

But when it comes to inspiring others, I hope I am inspiring a few and yeah, the mean me is starting to go away. I am more friendly (yata) and less suplada. Hopefully in the future I’d be more helpful to other.

Yun lang. And the blabbing ends here.

Got a one word post too? It’s time to revisit yours too!

PS I just have writte, focus on my writing and my grammar, I still suck on that part! Kaines.
