One of my struggles as a mom is how to make sure that my pre-schooler finishes her school lunch or snack. Usually, she always comes home with her lunch box untouched. She's been going to school after eating breakfast but I still made sure that I prepared some snacks or lunch for her to bring. Some school has cafeterias or canteen but why do kids hate school lunch? Serving and seeing the same food every day may cause children to lose their appetite or interest in the food that is being served in the school cafeteria. As a mom, we always want the best for kids. That's why I came up with different ideas on how my daughter will focus on her snack box and finish it. Here's the list of my simple 5 helpful tips or suggestions for packing healthy school lunch. 1. Make it colorful and fun - Kindly excuse my funny face.

One of my 2018 goals is to have a healthier lifestyle. I've been sick for for almost 2 weeks because of my unhealthy lifestyle. So to start this New Year goals I decided to hunt for some affordable place where I can eat some healthy stuff without putting a hole in my pocket.

They say a cup of coffee a day, will keep the bad vibes away, well this works perfectly for me as a coffee lover since I usually gulp down 5-7 cups of coffee a day. This is my partner for my every article that I write and makes sure that my day is complete, and believe me how hard a day is without coffee, so it has been a usual thing for me to be always on the lookout for the new place that offers the best coffee. A few days ago, in my quest for finding new places that offer the best coffee in the Metro. And with all this traffic and holiday rush, my adventure brought me in Dapitan in Metro Manila, a place called Bean Belt Coffee, as catchy as its name, it caught the hearts of a lot of coffee lovers in the place, a place packed with students and businessmen enjoying and staying for that one thing they loved, "coffee". This place is more than coffee, they also offer kinds of pasta and a lot more for you to discover, sumptuous meals for every coffee lo

I remember when I was a kid, when someone says Ice cream, I'll be the first one to be there, well who does not love ice cream anyways, there may be few but I guess they're missing the best part of their life. But, do you know? that with the regular ice cream that we grew up contains 50% air, no wonder it's gone with few licks lol. Do you know that there is a famous Ice cream called Gelatos that only contains 25% air, pretty amazing right? But, you think that's the best? well, here comes Gelare Ice Cream, the ice cream that is airless! now that is totally awesome! Gelare is Australia's most-loved dessert cafe. It was founded in Australia in 1986 and has been palates for over 20 years and counting.

Fresh Milk has been a part of me as I grew up, I remember bottled milk being delivered on our doorsteps but this custom seemed to fade and now, you can only buy fresh milk at supermarkets and grocery stores. With the new technology when it comes to milk packaging, the freshness and the lifespan of milk can be enhanced. Milk Magic, the milk brand that offers to fulfill every Filipino’s calcium needs, introduces its latest offering, ‘Fresh Milk from Australia’ which comes in a modern Tetra Brik® Aseptic Edge package from Tetra Pak.  Under Consolidated Dairy and Frozen Food Corporation, Milk Magic has produced Full Cream, Low Fat and Chocolate Milk products for more than 15 years in the Philippines.

If you happen to drop by Commerce Center in Alabang, one of the restaurants that you will notice will be  Chubby Rib Shacks, this restaurant offers American and Mexican Dishes, I tried few of their specialties and here is a quick review of the place and their food. The place can be a good place to hang out with friends. The ambiance is the usual American diners vibe. They also serve cold beers. It can accommodate at least 50- 60 people. Baby Back Ribs It was coated with BBQ Sauce. It was served with rice, mashed beans and a big half of slice of bread.  If you love carbs, I recommend this for you. The meat is tender but it didn't have that "wow" factor or a unique taste that you will crave for. It seems like pretty normal oven roasted baby back ribs with BBQ sauce. Fish with Salsa The Fish is steamed creamy dory, the fish tastes bland even with salsa on top. Again there are too many carbs on the plate. Maybe they can just ask if the customer wan

A few weeks ago I started checking some new restaurant, bars, and those restaurants that I've never been before. There are places that you know that you can just sit and just order anything on the menu without being intimidated by the place or the people eating at the next table. Casual Dining can be, somehow luxurious but one thing is for sure " You only live once and we work not just to sleep and pay bills, so giving yourself a treat for a sumptuous meal is a must. Someone asked me this question, "Is it expensive to eat in a European restaurant?" , at first, My answer is Maybe Yes, Maybe Not? Just yesterday I chat with her and told her about my dining experience in a modern European restaurant, called the Black Pig . Black Pig is a modern European restaurant located on the 2nd floor of Commerce Center, Alabang. One thing I like about this restaurant aside from their unique and delicious food is that they don't have a specialty. Chef Ca
