Cheez Whiz Strong Kids Camp 2025

Last May 31, me and my Facebook mommy community, MPMC, together with some of our fellow mommy influencers, were invited to the much-awaited Cheez Whiz Strong Kids Camp 2025 held at the Obstacle Course, Bridgetown, Pasig City. It was truly a memorable day filled with fun, learning, and meaningful bonding not just for the kids, but for us moms as well. ????

From the very start, we already felt how well-prepared and thoughtfully organized the event was. The venue was perfect for the activities — safe, spacious, and very comfortable. Despite the summer season, the timing of the event was considerate enough that it wasn’t too hot for the kids to play and enjoy. Plus, the big tent and fans provided extra comfort for everyone. I also truly appreciated the safety measures, with plenty of marshals around making sure everyone — kids and moms — felt secure throughout the event.

Of course, the real highlight was seeing the kids experience the obstacle courses. And for my son Marius, the A-Frame quickly became his favorite! Watching him confidently climb up and balance down was such a joy to see. This activity was not only exciting for him but also incredibly beneficial for his coordination, body control, and muscle strength — engaging both his arms, legs, and core muscles all at once while building his confidence and focus.

Since Marius is already a bit older, he was able to navigate most of the obstacles on his own. But even for younger kids, it was heartwarming to watch how moms and kids worked together to overcome each challenge. I could also see how much the other mommy influencers and their kids enjoyed every single station. It’s experiences like this that give us valuable takeaways as parents — reminding us of the importance of encouraging active play in our kids’ daily lives.

Aside from the activities, Cheez Whiz really went above and beyond in making sure everyone was well taken care of. The food spread was surprisingly generous — we were expecting light snacks, but we were served filling meals, and hydration was well provided with plenty of water for all the guests, which is super important especially for active play under the sun.

Of course, the experience was made even more special with thoughtful tokens from Cheez Whiz like towels and flasks — super useful and cute! And as a little thank you from me and our MPMC community, we also prepared cookies and our exclusive MPMC eco bags as additional tokens for our mommy attendees. ????

I also want to give a huge shoutout to the amazing team behind this event for their superb organization and warm assistance all throughout. It was such a pleasure working with a team that truly values both the kids’ enjoyment and the moms’ experience.

At the heart of the Cheez Whiz Strong Kids Camp 2025 is a very important reminder for us parents: Active play is essential for our kids’ physical, emotional, and social development — but proper nutrition is just as important to support their growth. This is where Cheez Whiz plays an important role, with its Calcium, Vitamins A & D, and Phosphorus, providing the essential nutrients that help strengthen bones, support healthy muscles, and fuel every move our kids make.

✨ If you’re a mom who wants to be part of events like this — to experience fun, learning, and community together — we would love to have you in our mommy group in Facebook: MPMC! Join us and be part of many more exciting activities for moms and kids. ????

5 Tried And Tested Ways to Prevent Body Odor

The usual problem that we encounter during summer is body odor, specially with my kids who are very very active. We used to believe that it is because of sweat. A few readings online told me that sweat does not have a smell. So where do the odor comes from?

You know there’s this thing called odor-causing germs. When we sweat, the bacteria on our skin digests our sweat and that’s what us smell bad. Siguro pwede nating sabihin, yung amoy natin, utot ng bacteria yun.

5 Tried And Tested Ways to Prevent Body Odor

Take a bath. During the days that is cool, take a bath once a day. During hot seasons, you should do it twice a day. Taking a bath gets rid of odor causing germs in your skin. Take extra special care on these parts of the body as these are the body parts where odor is most likely to occur:

feet
groin
armpits
under breast
behind the ears
neck and back of neck

As you take a bath, make sure that you soap these body parts more than usual. Use soap like Safeguard as it can kill 99.9% germs.
Clothing. Use clothes that are light in terms of material and color. Darker clothes attracts more heat thus making you sweat more. As we have mentioned earlier, odor causing germs loves sweat.

Use fabric conditioner that can help you with odor causing germs. We use Downy Antibac with the power of Safeguard. Tried and tested in helping me manage my kids body odor. When we started using it., I noticed that even after playing in the sun, my kids does not smell that bad.

Downy Antibac with the power of Safeguard is available in supermarkets nationwide. You can also buy it online at Safeguard Official Online store in Lazada: Click here for the link of the store.

Use deodorant. How does deodorant works? It works by killing the bacteria on your skin and also works in a way that it helps you reduce your sweat. What’s the best type of deodorant? tawas for me! It’s antibacterial and clog the skin pores. It works just by eliminating the odor causing germs.

Drink more water. It works like magic to us. When kids are well hydrated, they smell better, meaning they don’t smell as bad as when theyre drinking colored drinks. So we try to avoid that as much as possible. The goal is for them to drink 2 liters of water a day.

Yes it is true that people who sweat more are more prone to body odor but always remember that it is caused by odor causing germs. We have to be #germprotektado para protektado din tayo sa baho.
