How will I confidently #Spread100Hugs this Holiday Season



We Filipinos really love the Christmas season, more than the food and the celebration, one of the anticipated moments that we are looking forward is to be with our family and loved ones spend time with them after a long year of work or being away.

I can still remember when I was a kid, when I visit our relatives during the Christmas vacation, I can see all their preparations from changing the curtains to a new one, new table cloth, place mats, and even door mats just to prepare for the expected visitors, no wonder us Filipinos has been tagged as very hospitable.

So when I grew up, this kind of custom is something that I inherited from all of my relatives and family members,I make sure that the house is clean, all curtains are newly washed or replaced, so as table cloths and door mats, so whenever my dearest relatives and closest friends drop by, they can be welcomed with a fresh ambiance.

Every year, whenever the holiday season comes, unexpected things happens, like meeting your family member who has been abroad for few years, or meeting all the members of your family tree during your annual family reunion. You can't help but giving them a hug is something to make them feel how you truly miss them or welcome them.



Ofcourse you don't want to miss hugging anyone special to you, so aside from showing anyone how you truly miss them you wanted to make sure that you will smell fresh and confident all the time.



I don't wan't to be caught unprepared, so it is a good thing and thankful that I have discovered downy parfume that I can truly trust in making sure that I can last the whole day staying fresh, have the perfume freshness and ready to #Spread100Hugs.



This holiday season don't forget to  bring your family and friends to the  first everhug-activated Downy Scented Christmas Tree installation in Eastwood Mall. It will be up only until December 26, 2018  so hurry and don’t miss your chance. And in case you haven’t seen it, Miss Universe and Hug Ambassadress, Pia Wurtzbach went around the metro to #Spread100Hugs.

Ako din po, I really love Christmas since parang nagiging family reunion nadin itovsamin momshie, at syempre di mawawala ang gifts for the kiddos.😍 And I remember talaga nung kabataan ko, pagka Dec.24 palang ng gabi, ang inaantabay ko talaga ay yung Christmas Cartoons sa Tv. Sana ibalik ulit yun. Iba na kasi mga palabas ngayon eh.😔 Still,basta kumpleto ang pamilya kahit simpleng handaan lang ay napakasaya na.❤️
my kids are always looking forward cor christmas,the time of the year where we can visit and have reunions with our family and downy always makes them smell good that my family remember them as the mabango kids

Very true po yan. Kapag sumasakit na ang Christmas dapat handa na ang buong kabahayan. Bagong curtains, bagong bed covers, new plates. Dapat lahat malinis. Pagdating ng mga relatives beso dito,beso dun at maraming hugs.
Belated merry xmas po. Its a gift to everyone that we give a hug kahit sa kaibigan at kapamilya at kahit sa kanino pa man. Maganda ang ginawa ng downy for their campaign . Syempre kailangan maipadama natin ang love with the family sa pamamagitan ng hugs. Thank you po.

Tigdas/Measles: Mga Sintomas, Pagkain at Lunas

Pagkatapos ng Dengvaxia incident maraming magulang ang natakot na pabakunahan ang mga anak ng libreng bakuna na inaalok ng DOH Health Centers. Yung iba sa atin hindi na pinabakunahan ang mga anak laban sa measles, tetanus, rubella at cervical cancer (HPV). Nito lang week dinala namin uli si Chelsea sa Pedia nya dahil sa pabalik-balik na lagnat at ang napansin ko na rashes sa may bandang dibdib at tyan nya. Sinabi sa amin ng doctor na patuloy namin obserbahan si Chelsea dahil maaring mayroong Measles outbreak, sapagkat 3 na sa kanyang naging pasyente ng araw na iyon ay postive sa measles. Nagdeclare ng measles outbreak ang DOH sa Zambonga City noong February 2018, 495 na kaso sa Davao city starting from January-September 2108, at barangay sa taguig noong March 2018. Anu-ano nga ba ang sintomas ng tigdas (measles)? Mga kailangang gawin? Mga pagkain na  pwede at bawal kainin. 2 uri ng tigdas o Measles Tigdas Tigdas Hangin Sintomas: Rashes o pamamantal Dry cough

Nutri 10 Plus, Vitamins Perfect For Child's Growing Needs

Summer is already here. The temperature last week was 34°c and its getting hotter everyday. We have to open our windows to make sure that we won't get suffocated because of the heat. Summer is also the season of flu, bacteria that can cause cough and build up of phlegm. Kids should always be geared with proper protection. Their body needs protection from harmful diseases. That's why I was so thankful that I used Nutri 10 vitamins for my Chelsea. This is the kind of vitamins that she really need. For sure most of you know that Chelsea is a picky eater. She only eat if we have Sinigang or gravy that she put in her steamed rice. After taking Nutri 10 for almost a month now. I noticed some changes in her appetite and daily routine.  Before, Chelsea stays up until 2 am and wakes up around 11 am. Thankfully that routine changed and she also started to eat vegetables. As a mom I'm always worried because I know that she is not getting the right nutrients that her

A quick trip down holiday memory lane

  Can you feel it? The cold breeze, holiday songs, festive decorations, and colorful lights and lanterns… it’s Christmas season, everybody! Filipinos are known to celebrate Christmas the longest – it starts with the BER months and ends in January. Along with parties and get-togethers, we also have different traditions to celebrate the yuletide season. Since I was a kid, I associated grapes and round fruits with the holiday season. My grandma used to buy a lot of grapes during the BER months and placed them on our table along with other fruits. The grapes were also hung on windows and doors to help bring in good fortune for the coming year. I remember her asking me who was eating the grapes as she noticed that they were slowly “disappearing” and I said it must have been my aunties and our cat. But… It was silly me all along, of course! My aunties ended up buying more, much to my delight.   For Christmas eve, my aunties and grandma would make their delicious fruit salad – a huge can of f
