Babywearing Philippines International Babywearing Week 2019 Celebration

On October 13, Babywearing Philippines will lead at least 200 Filipino babywearing families nationwide to honor and celebrate the ancient practice of babywearing in the Philippines.

Babywearing Philippines is the 60,000-strong not-for-profit online support community on Facebook that advocates safe and proper babywearing among Filipino families all over the world.

Following the global theme, “Continuing the Tradition”, Babywearing Philippines is joining the worldwide babywearing community in celebrating International Babywearing Week in a one-day event at the Atrium of Eastwood Mall in Quezon City.

Babywearing is essentially carrying babies and small children in slings or carriers. Wearing a baby is actually a centuries-old practice in various cultures worldwide. Historical accounts and artifacts show that families of yore naturally incorporated babywearing in their daily lives as they kept their children literally close to them even as they searched for food, moved their shelter or worked in the fields.

In the Philippines, different indigenous groups still practice babywearing as it allows them to tend to household chores and in their livelihood activities while still being able to care for their children.

The Indigenous Peoples of the Cordillera refer to using a cloth, usually a blanket, tied to make a baby sling as “ubba” while the T’bolis in Lake Sebu, South Cotabato call it “s’libay.”

One of the highlights of the day-long event organized by Babywearing Philippines is a visual presentation of babywearing as it was practiced by Filipino ancestors featuring the different types of baby carriers used in the olden days.

At the event, modern-day babywearing Filipino families will be guided on how to properly wear babies in various carriers and will be taught techniques for special cases like newborns, preemies and multiple babies.

There will be talks and discussions on making DIY carriers, natural parenting, effects of babywearing on mental health and physiological benefits of babywearing to health and fitness.

P&G OLAY x LAZADA Supporting Women Who Double up

Women are expected to play dual roles at all times: a leader in the workplace and a hands-on mom; a good daughter and partner; an expert on her line of work and a multi-faceted performer. For all the things that a woman wishes to be, she has to live through society’s expectations, working twice as hard so she can double up her function.

Olay partners with Lazada in its biggest Super Brand Day event with a release of its latest online video focused on how single moms double up twice as much. This video reveals that one of the toughest roles women take on is parenting, especially when done all by yourself.

At first glance, we see a struggling mother barely getting by, facing judgement for the life she needs to live, but what we don’t realize is that these moms set a powerful example to their kids and to those around them. We see a woman that is fearless, someone who is confident and determined. She does not let anyone make decisions for herself – she runs the show.

OLAY x LAZADA Supporting Women who Double up

Olay reaches out to every single mother to value self-care, allowing them to double up with less effort. These are for the women who work twice as much and still radiate a different kind of beauty, a beauty that exceeds beyond their struggles. She is able to Glow Up beyond supreme challenges, and her partner: The Olay Power Duo – Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream and Olay White Radiance Light Perfecting Essence.

“Doubling up as a parent and a professional is no easy task,” says Alexandra Vogler, Associate Director of Procter & Gamble Beauty, Digital Transformation & Communications and mother of 2 young children. “By sharing the touching story featured in the Olay Monster film, we hope to inspire more people to see doubling up on responsibilities as a strength—and ultimately for women to live their lives fearlessly.”As these brands continue its efforts in inspiring women, this collaboration between Olay and Lazada provides a platform to help women gain easy access to products to complete a full skin care routine at their convenience. So, whether they are at work, at the gym, or winding down with their children in bed, this Lazada partnership equips mothers who double up their role with the Power Duo that also works twice as hard as them.

Olay x Lazada supports single moms and all fearless women who know how to double up.
Let’s celebrate during the Super Brand Day on October 7, 2019 with amazing deals from Olay and join the conversations how single moms lift each other up.

This film is made for women by women. Women of P&G, Lazada, and the agency all took part in conceptualization, production, and execution of the video.

Shopwise 21st Anniversary 2100 Pesos Shopping Challenge

How often do you do your groceries? Once a month? Twice a month? Every week? When do you usually do your grocery? Most moms I know do their groceries on a weekend. It has become an integral part of their weekends, making grocery time an actual bonding time with the family. And that is also the reason why we grocery with the whole family from time to time. Some of my fondest grocery memories with my kids are eating after doing the grocery or eating inside the grocery. And there’s only one place that we can all think of, that gives us that kind of bonding/eating/grocery experience, Shopwise, ano pa nga ba.

We do really bond over food, kaya nga when checking out Shopwise 21Tastic Treats for their 21st anniversary, ang una ko talagang chineck, mga pang ulam! And to greet Shopwise Happy 21st Anniversary, I made my own challenge: Shopwise 21st Anniversary 2100 Pesos Shopping Challenge

Akala mo pang catalogue lang yung mga discounts no? Hindi mga momsh! In real life talaga yung mga discounts na makukuha. Have you seen Shopwise 21st Anniversary catalogue? Check mo na sa Shopwise Facebook Page: https://web.facebook.com/ShopwiseSupercenters/ at tandaan nyo na ang mga discount and treats na perfect sa family niyo. Ito naman ang sa amin:

Since we are doing our grocery at Shopwise Araneta Cubao, the store lay out suggests that we do our toiletries first. Can I just brag how lovely Shopwise Araneta Cubao is? The lay out is so mom friendly! And of course the fact that it offers not just grocery items is a plus plus for any shoppers. If most moms consider going to the grocery a vacation, going to Shopwise Araneta Cubao is the grandest of them all. Kumpleto kase eh, from small appliances to big ones, to clothes, to toys, and the best part, kapag pagod ka na mag grocery, pwede ka umupo at kumain inside the store. Don’t we all love that kind of break while doing the grocery.

As I have mentioned, we got to the toiletries first, toothpaste, shampoo, alcohol etc. Safeguard Soap White 3pid 175g is buy 1 and get free Safeguard White 85g. Hindi ko papalampasin yan.

Pagdating naman sa snacks, Marius got his favorite crackers and it comes with free coffee. Ayan may meryenda na si Marius, may kape pa si Mommy! Best deals talaga sa Shopwise!

This is what I am telling you about. Shopwise 21st Anniversary deals on beef. From 395 Pesos per kilo, ang beef cubes ay 355 Pesos na lang. What can you do with beef cubes? Pwede sya na pang kare-kare, pwede din pang nilaga, pero pinaka favorite ng mga kids ko is Beef Stew.

Here’s another great deal worth sharing lalo na sa mga gaya ko na momshies na wise sa pagbili ng ulam nila. Discounted pork extra lean giniling. Ito talaga binibili ko na giniling because I don’t want too much fat on our diet. We usually buy 2 kg of pork extra lean giniling.

We cook 1 kg as the usual giniling, puno ng gulay at walang sabay and use it for omelet. The other 1 kg, we pre cooked and store it para pang sahog sa mga gulay recipes like chopsuey or ginisang sayote.

At dito ako pinaka tuwa! Chicken parts buy 1 kg and get 500 grams for free! Adobo forever mga momsh! But if you are looking for chicken recipes, here’s some that I can suggest:

So how’s my Shopwise 21st Anniversary 2100 Pesos Shopping Challenge? Mga momsh lumagpas ako sa 2100! Napadami ng slight ang binili ko na chicken, beef, at pork extra lean giniling.

1K for my toiletries and some food, tapos sa meat section almost 1200. Pasok na talaga sa 2100 Pesos shopping challenge but this cake is calling my name!! Sabi nya “Mommy Pehpot, naka discount din ako! GET ME! GET ME!” Marupok ang momshie nyo pagdating sa cake at sa discount (alam nyo yan!).

But all in all, my Shopwise 21st Anniversary 2100 Pesos Shopping Challenge was really fun and rewarding (kase hello more points to my Wise card). My kumareng Peachy of The Peach Kitchen namili din sila sa Shopwise, check out the 21static treats na nabili nya!
