Totally Homemade Sweet Treats And Savory Sidekicks

Our last mommy blogger for our Mommy blogger entrepreneur series.. none other than Denise Rayala or known as Bebeng of Bebengisms.com

Denise is a hands-on mom to her six-year-old daughter and a phone-dependent military wife. She blogs her recipes, quirks, finds and thoughts on her cyber kingdom while keeping a home, mothering and virtually flirting with her Army kind of guy.

She is now the kitchen boss behind Bebeng’s Kitchen (BK). BK offers totally homemade tasty treats and savory sidekicks.

Name of Business: Bebeng’s Kitchen
Contact Details: Inquiries on Bebeng’s Kitchen Facebook Page
Products: Totally Homemade Sweet Treats (cupcakes, cookies, etc) and Savory Sidekicks (Atsara, Chili Garlic Sauce, Gourmet Tuyo)

Denise confessed that cooking is one of the things that she’s very good at and using this God- given talent to earn extra income won’t feel working at all. “This is cliche but this is also true: Having my own business is being my own boss. If I fail, if I suck, I only have myself to blame. And that makes the whole thing challenging. And rewarding, too because I’m doing great! Woot! Really, there’s no business like food business! What may be yummy for me may not be yummy for everyone. But I’m glad that I have already gained a few loyal foodies. They make my kitchen journey happier,” she added.

You won’t believe this but her initial worries when starting the business is Math! All she wanted to do is cook, bake and sell, the costing and computations gave her headaches fort he first few days. And to overcome this, she reads up on commerce topics online and learned how to price her products.

Can you say you made the right decision of starting your own business?

Denise: Yes. One of the biggest and best decisions I have ever made in my life. There are a little bumps and humps along my new mompreneur road but I’m not going to take a detour, not even going back.

Well, I heard Bebeng’s Kitchen Savory Sidekicks are really good! Specially her Chili Garlic Sauce! I got a taste of her Sweet treats during Mommy Bloggers Philippines Halloween Party and yeeees those are real treats!

SM Kids Fashion Invites You To Have A #FashionExplosion This Christmas!

Almost every year, by this time, I’d be impatiently waiting for the delivery of my Balikbayan box (sometimes boxes) which contains clothes (and toys) for my kids. Clothes from the US are very stylish, not to mention cheap! But this year was different..

I have been attending SM Kids Fashion events (READ: SM Kids Fashion 2014 Summer Collection) this year and been exposed to their collections.. whoa!! Their collections are really fasyon!! AND VERY AFFORDABLE!!! NO need to buy clothes from US, SM Kids Fashion got it all for us! (uy SM jingle!)

SM Kids Fashion is #FashionExplosion indeed! Specially this Holiday season, ang sarap maglaro ng dress up with the kids! Take a look at what SM Kids Fashion has to offer:

This year’s holiday collection also inspires boys and girls of all ages to make a statement from the vast choices of colors, prints, and patterns that delight and uplift. The cropped shirts and skater skirts for example; with all the styles, textures, and prints that girls can mix and match. They can dress up like their favorite pop icons, or simply become the most fashionable version of themselves.
The boys, on the other hand, would surely love the modern and visually appealing tees that are flexible enough to complement their mood to dress up or dress down for the party. To add edge to one’s favorite denims, boys can simply pair these with a graphic tee. And because the shirts in this collection are flexible and fashionable enough for any gathering, adding cardigans, hoodies, button downs, or blazers can surely further the look. After all, the holiday season also ushers in that breezy atmosphere, so boys can go and take advantage of it with a trendy layered outfit.

DRESSY SETS

You can never go wrong with red when it comes to wearing your holiday vibe. This season, strut in a red ensemble like a fierce little princess or steal the spotlight by wearing the dress that reinvents the retro feel with its playful polka patterns mixed with femme floral shapes.

Let the soft layers of tulle flow with your holiday glow! Be the party’s darling with this floral dress or get pretty in pink with this dressy ensemblez

Dress up for the holiday party with garbs that will give you that comely and dainty look. Keep it cool and light with the outfits in different shades of blue or be the revelry’s icon in vibrant prints or vivid plains.

CASUAL SETS

Prints never go out of style and tops that are swathed with patterns truly make a casual outfit edgier than usual! This season, be the rock icon, the pop princess, or the hipster hero you’ve always wanted to be with these printed shirts and patterned cropped tops.

Is your #ootd popping with prints or is it pretty in plain? No matter what your style is, you’ll surely find a fine top, a nice bottom, or a perfect top and skirt ensemble that’s truly ootd-worthy.

Cropped tops come in different textures and prints—from floral to polka dots, from pastel hues to vibrant tints. But if you want to keep it casual and easy, then you can go for that casual style with a dazzling graphic tee!

Skirts, track pants, and leggings come in different colors, too. But if you don’t want to worry about mixing and matching your clothes when there’s a day-out with your BFFs, then you should go for the twin sets that give you the complete ensemble for your the holiday ramble!

SM BABIES

This year’s SM Babies holiday collection unveils pieces that will effortlessly further the cuteness of your little ones. If you want to keep your baby’s look casual and easy, there are knits in different cuts and prints for little girls and tees, faux vests, colored denims, and chambrays for little boys.

And because holidays are for celebrations and revelries, there are also dressier pieces for these cute babies! For girls, there are jacquard dresses, tutus, and laces will surely bring out the princess in them. The little boys, on the other hand, will look so refined with the blazers and button downs that come in different patterns and hues! There are shoes and accessories, too, which are up for grabs, all made to complete your baby’s holiday ensemble.

Watch out for Sati’s Holiday look!
