We narrowed down the 10 winning tips which could help mompreneurs re-discover their passion on top of being an active mom and successful homemaker:

1) Pay yourself first. It should not be less than one-tenth, no matter how little you earn;

2) Get only in a business you understand. Seek advice from competent people;

3) Make your gold work for you. Make an army of golden slaves before you buy luxury;

4) Manage your time. Schedule meetings so that you can spend quality time with the family. Drop everything for your family;

5) Make financing a family affair. Teach your children how to save money at an early age;

6) Eliminate guilt. Don't feel guilty leaving your kids at home with their yayas. If you do, you will not go anywhere and you will not progress;

7) Get yourself support system. You just cannot do things on your own. When you want to achieve a lot of things, you need the help of other people;

8) Have a work system. Having a schedule and a rhythm will allow you to keep sane despite the craziness, routine, and pressure around;

9) Quality not Quantity. It's not about spending day-in and day-out with your kids. You can tell there's quality time if your kids are really enjoying;

10) Create your own happiness. Discuss or plan new ways with your family that will keep everyone simply happy!

Tough Love : Touching moment with Joy, a touch of Olay

Tweet

A super fun activity I enjoyed last March 5 at the Blue Leaf- Silk Pavilion in Taguig, with a beautiful and true fun celebrity. The trials of housework are highlighted and refreshed through Tough Love, an event that placed Mariel Rodriguez and members of the media in “tough” household situations, but with the aid of Joy with a Touch of Olay, a new dishwashing variant of P&G Joy.

Mariel and members of the media undergo four different household challenges, including chopping vegetables, squeezing lemons, opening bottles and cans through manual tools, and dishwashing.

Chopping Vegetables

Squeezing lemons

Opening bottles and cans

Dishwashing

All of these challenges simulated the experiences women feel whenever they do household chores.

These stations were also time-pressured to mirror the multi-tasking lives of modern women every day.

Joy with a Touch of Olay helps maintain skin’s moisture, making it all set for “touching moments” as we really feel we wave the softest hands even with the toughest jobs at home - dishwashing, ironing, doing the laundry and cleaning the house. Imagine doing all these things every single day, on top of your demanding career.

This is really - tough love. As we celebrate women’s month, lives and experiences of women are given more importance and thought. This includes the challenges of women everywhere when it comes to doing household chores.

Dishwashing can be a draining task. Just imagine coming home from a tiring day at work, seeing piles of plates on the sink, and getting your hands wrinkled and dry from cleaning the dishes. Joy with a Touch of Olay is especially formulated to help maintain the skin’s moisture while retaining the superior grease-fighting power of all Joy variants. It locks in moisture to create moments of pampering as one does chores. 

“Joy with Olay strives to take care of women. It is formulated with Vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps repair the skin and nourishes the hands by locking in the skin’s moisture. Joy with Olay does not dry the hands, making them “touching moment” ready,” says P&G Brand Communications Leader Anna Legarda.

Every dedicated and hardworking woman will appreciate even the littlest things that will comfort and pamper her. It helps even more to have a product that will indulge her even while she performs household chores daily.

Feel the difference that Joy with a Touch of Olay makes in your dishwashing routine.

As seen in Tough Love, housework will never be the same again because of Joy with a Touch of Olay. Women can do all the tough jobs, but still be “touching-moment ready”.

Enjoy washing everyone ! This is tough love!

Home head lice remedies may cause more harm than good

Tweet

Having head lice can be an uncomfortable, embarrassing experience; no wonder those who have it want an instant solution, pronto. Some people who don’t want to bother with a trip to the drug store may choose to resort to traditional home remedies.

Home remedies for lice, to the mind of those who use them, have two advantages: 

1) Easy availability because the cures are just around the house; and 

2) Avoidance of embarrassment, which may occur when a person purchases head lice medication—such a person would be afraid of being thought of as being unclean or living in an dirty household.

The most commonly used home remedies include the use of gasoline, suyod (fine-toothed lice comb), and insecticide chalk. How effective and safe are these remedies?

Gasoline. Gasoline is a potentially toxic, extremely flammable liquid. In older generations, when head lice medication was either non-existent or not readily available, gasoline was applied on the hair and scalp to kill head lice. Our generation is very fortunate in that we no longer have to use gasoline as head lice treatment.

Why? First of all, gasoline can irritate the scalp and may produce a painful, burning sensation. It’s not made for safe, human skin contact. The smell is also irritating. But the most serious reason to avoid using gasoline as head lice treatment is the threat of fire. It’s not the gasoline itself but its fumes that are highly flammable. When gasoline is applied on one’s scalp and hair, the fumes will silently and invisibly mix with the surrounding air. 

The slightest spark from an appliance, a light switch, or a lit stove can cause the fumes to catch fire and this fire will also ignite the gasoline on the person’s hair and scalp. Serious, even life-threatening burns may occur. Many cases of such a thing happening has already been documented through the years. If you don’t want your loved one’s hair and head to catch fire, please never ever use gasoline or any other type of liquid fuel (like kerosene) to treat head lice.

Suyod. The fine-toothed head lice comb is actually effective in removing lice stuck to one’s hair. The downside to this is that there’s no guarantee that the head lice won’t come back.  This is because one never knows if the suyod was actually able to catch all the lice. Also, the eggs of the head lice are tiny enough to slip through the comb anyway, so they can always hatch into new lice and repeat the problem again. Also, the suyod poses a risk of spreading lice to other persons especially if it is not cleaned properly, and if not all the lice it removes are killed.

Insecticide chalk.  This home remedy for head lice has a doubtful effectiveness and is potentially poisonous. Some people make the mistake of ordinary chalk, which is less harmful (but still causes allergies and may trigger asthma attacks) but also not effective against head lice at all.  Others use the actual insecticide chalk (used usually to kill ants) on their hair and scalp. The biggest danger here is that the chalk contains pesticide toxins. On top of that danger, there are no scientific studies proving that insecticide chalk affects head lice.

These home remedies usually have the force of tradition behind them. Having been handed down by the elders, they become acceptable to descendants—especially in Filipino society where older people are greatly respected. However, we must do what is right for our health and avoid so-called remedies that do more harm than good. Taking care of one’s health is nothing to be embarrassed about, so buying proper lice medication should not be a cause for shame.

One guaranteed safe and proven effective treatment for head lice is LiceAliz. It removes not only head lice but their eggs (lice eggs or nits) as well.  LiceAliz is a head lice treatment shampoo made of natural ingredients with Pyrethrin as its active ingredient. It is made from extracts of Chrysanthemum flowers. Pyrethrin is proven effective in removing head lice and their eggs; it is safe to use for adults and children as young as two years of age.

LiceAliz is very easy and convenient to use because it is applied just like regular shampoo. It also contains a conditioner that keeps hair soft, healthy, and manageable. For the first two weeks of use, it must be applied twice a week. After that, it is applied only once a week to keep head lice from coming back. For best results, it must be left on the hair for ten minutes before rinsing.

Consumers prefer LiceAliz because it is proven effective, safe, and reliable and yet is priced as much as 50 percent lower than other brands of head lice shampoo. LiceAliz also has a variant with menthol for a cool, refreshing feeling on the scalp. LiceAliz is available in drugstores and department stores nationwide.

Gly Derm Stretch Mark Cream Launched

Tweet

What is the best way to treat stretch marks, the natural result of your skin adjusting to your growing belly?  You're not totally powerless against pregnancy stretch marks. Not all stretch marks will disappear after pregnancy,  but most will fade.

Stretch marks they may also occur during sudden weight gain or loss, or even during adolescence due to rapid growth and hormonal changes associated with puberty. Genetics also play a key role in a person’s susceptibility to getting stretch marks.

A matrix of collagen and elastin supports the dermis (the deeper layer of the skin) and epidermis (the skin’s outer layer), but gaps may form when the skin is stretched excessively, and it is these gaps of broken tissue that cause us to have those discolored streaks or striae that appear on the surface of our skin in pinkish, reddish-blue, or translucent white hues.

A good news for concerned and affected people, there are effective ways to treat stretch marks. Gly Derm Stretch Mark Cream was launched in a French inspired event and fashion show held at the Ayala Museum, Makati City last October 3, 2013. 

It was a wonderful night featuring moms in a fashion show proud to be stretch-mark free flawless body walked the runway featuring the Posh Swimwear designs of Twinkle Ferraren and Flawless Glyderm Ambassadors.

Gly Derm Stretch Mark Cream from France – home of the best beauty products in the world is now available in the Philippines and being marketed by A. Menarini, an Italian pharmaceutical company. Gly Derm is specially formulated to help rebuild collagen and regain elasticity to reduce the size and lessen the appearance of stretch marks. What sets it apart is its Tri-Derm Actives. Gly Derm offers a superior, clinically-proven solution that will neither require laser procedures, nor break the bank.

Gly Derm Stretch Mark Cream’s non-greasy formula is also easy to use. Simply massage it into the affected areas of your skin twice a day. Initial results may be seen in as early as five weeks of continued use. Gly Derm Stretch Mark Cream’s Tri-Derm Actives penetrate the gaps of broken tissue and improves the appearance of stretch marks, so that you can soon walk around with confidence just like you did before. This isn’t merely based on clinical proof but also it is also trusted by everyday women who have tried it!

Celebrity actress/model/producer G Töngi, the mother of Sakura and Kenobi says, “I’ve started using Gly Derm and I’m looking forward to my skin’s continuous improvement”. 

Also actress and model Cheska Garcia-Kramer admits and said “I’ve gone through three pregnancies, and I have worried about stretch marks,”  Her children with husband Doug Kramer are Kendra (4 years old), Scarlett (1 year, 11 months), and Gavin (8 months) and she has been enjoying life as a wife and mom. 

“Gly Derm helped me get rid of those worries so I could focus on what matters most—being the best mom to my kids!”

Gly Derm Stretch Mark Cream is now available in leading drug stores nationwide.

Step into the Wonderful World of Baby’s Dreams

Tweet

Pampers and Sleep Experts walk you through your baby’s journey of sound sleep and sound development.

What do babies rream about? Is there a way of knowing for sure what babies dream about? But really hope and pray that they have sweet dreams. Indeed, sweet dreams are golden moments. Parents want their babies to have the best quality sleep possible. Any mother will tell you how valuable it is when her baby sleeps through the night.

Pampers understands the importance of a good night of quality sleep for baby and for the family.

Pampers launches today the Sound Sleep, Sound Development campaign, in partnership with the Mother & Child Nurses Association of the Philippines (MCNAP).

“This campaign aims to educate moms on the importance of complete night-time sleep for babies. We acknowledge that when baby sleeps through, night after night, it is a key step in baby’s development,” says Pampers Brand Manager Camille Aquino. 

Sleep experts MCNAP President Alicia Estiller and Philippine Society of Sleep Medicine (PSSM) Dr. Luis Rivera Jr. also agree that complete night-time sleep is very important to baby’s development and growth. "It is associated with more positive daytime behavior, mood and temperament, and better physical functioning,” adds Mrs. Estiller. However, many factors can disturb a baby’s sleep or lead them to wake fully, such as hunger, illness and discomfort. 

“That is why moms should learn to identify these external factors so they can appropriately address baby’s concerns,” says Dr. Rivera. 

Mom knows that part of being a good mom is to check baby’s diaper for wetness. However, she’s doing more harm than good because this interrupts baby’s sleep. “Sleep deprivation is associated with stunted growth, weight problems, low attention span, delayed learning and behavioural problems,” shares Estiller. 

To minimize baby’s discomfort during sleep, mothers often take steps to prevent diaper wetness during the night. A clinical study by scientists at Pampers highlights what they call the ‘wetness wake-up call’ --- a direct link between urination and sleep disturbance. Receptors in a baby’s skin can easily sense the feeling of wetness, acting as little ‘alarm clocks’ that could potentially wake the baby. 

In light of this insight, a team of ‘dryness experts’ at the Pampers Schwalbach Technical Centre in Germany came up with a study to help silence the ‘wetness wake-up call’. The team formulated the unique 4-layers + gel technology to effectively absorb and lock wetness away from baby’s skin. When tested, this new technology helped reduce the chance of the baby’s skin sensing wetness and helped baby to sleep soundly. No need for mom to disturb baby’s sleep when she checks the diaper. Pampers thus acts as a sleep enabler that helps establish a night-time pattern of sleeping through the night, night after night. 

To help moms better understand what complete night-time sleep means for babies, Pampers creates an interactive exhibit giving moms a glimpse of what goes on inside their baby’s brain while they are sleeping. Mommy bloggers Frances Amper-Sales and Pehpot Pineda open the exhibit with a very enlightening discussion about the challenges of putting babies to sleep and ensuring complete night-time sleep. Estiller shares common sleep myths, facts and tips to ensure quality night-time sleep for babies. Philippine Society of Sleep Medicine (PSSM) Dr. Luis Rivera Jr. also reveals what complete sleep does for babies’ brains. 

Four booths are showcased in the exhibit showcasing the baby’s dream world and providing key information to help moms better appreciate the importance of complete night-time sleep to babies.

Informational highlights of the booths are current sleep practices of babies through a sleep survey among moms, different interactive games to help moms better understand their baby’s sleeping habits, and the positive and negative effects of complete sound sleep towards baby’s holistic development. A special booth, which serves as Mom’s Helpdesk is also open for free consultation and product demonstration with Sleep Experts.

Pampers Comfort not just protects baby’s complete sleep against wetness, but also strengthens mom’s belief that she is providing her baby with the best possible care to achieve optimum brain development. Through the Sound Sleep, Sound Development campaign, more moms will understand and better appreciate the importance of sleep.
