I am a heavy rice eater these days. Don't judge me please, I am a breastfeeding momma! I grew up having rice as a staple in the kitchen as my dad's family has a small ricefield. In fact, just last week when we went to the province, my mom insistently gave us a sack of rice. Like most Filipinos, all of us in the family are certified rice lovers. I am glad to discover Asvel. As a storage solution, an Asvel rice dispenser ensures the freshness of the rice grains. It has airtight rice stockers to protect the contents from dust and moisture. I got the automatic clear variant- it is one-touch and has a top lid for easier refill. The price range of Asvel automatic rice dispenser is P1599.75 to P3999.75. Asvel also has a manual type of dispenser- BPA free and has an indicator on the body to show remaining rice quantity. Price is from P699.75 to P1599.75. Asvel is available in Make Room, Rustan's, Cash & Carry, National Bookstore, and select The SM Stores (M...

As an admin of The Momma Club , I receive random messages about all things motherhood. Moms ask for advice on various topics, while others ask for recommendation such as choice of an OB or a trusted baby product. I am happy to answer these kinds of messages as I know that in my own little way, I am able to help other mommas. I have realized how us moms don't have qualms about sharing personal info and TMI (too much information) stuff to each other. Moms with newborns and infants would casually talk about their babies' poop and the number of diaper changes in a day. I was not surprised when a mom asked me how to alleviate one of her pregnancy-related problems- constipation. Just like dizziness, headaches, shortness of breath, gassiness, it is a common condition for pregnant mommas. I remembered my OB telling me how yogurt and chia seeds helped her have a more comfortable bowel movement. Fyi, my OB was not pregnant. She is one of the senior OB's at the hospital. ...

It's our first time to collect the Jolly Kiddie Meal Jollibee Around the World toys, we were not able to buy the complete set when it was first launched early this year. It's amazing how Jollibee can create nice toys that bring smiles to kids and adults without paying for a hefty price tag. When you buy a Jolly Kiddie Meal, it includes a Jollibee Around the World toy. Yumburger Meal is at P94, Jolly Spaghetti Meal is priced at P99, and a Chickenjoy Meal costs P125 only. Not bad, right? I love how Jollibee stays true in its mission to spread a world of joy. How about you mommas? Do you collect Jollibee toys too? XOXO!

Jollibee grants little girls' dream of becoming princesses with the launch of their newest Kids Party theme- Jollibee Fairytale Land. My little girls and I had so much fun at the launch of this party theme held at Jollibee Biopolis Macapagal in Pasay City. It was truly a magical event with all those tiaras and gorgeous royal gowns. The Princess Glam Station was a hit. The mommies enjoyed seeing their kids getting glammed up. I liked how the stylist added color to my little girl's hair. There was also a tiara decorating station, and a photo booth to capture the fun of course. Princess Twirlie and Princess Hetty were there. Together with Jollibee, they entertained the crowd with their dance number. A Jollibee party would not be complete without Jollibee, of course. There is really something about Jollibee as he can charm both the kids and the kids at heart. With this new party theme, Jollibee hopes to encourage kids to embrace their imagination, an...

If you're looking for an eco-friendly nappy, you might want to consider the brand Little Tree. I was given a pack of small diapers to review and try. It is for babies with weight 3-6 kg. It is a little tight for my baby, she has been using size medium diapers for a few months already. What I like most about the diapers is the stylish design- I like its vibrant color and pattern. My baby did not experience any irritation within 7 days of using the diapers. One time, I was not able to change her diaper on time- my baby had the diaper on for around 8 hours, but there was no leakage. I think my baby remained comfy the whole time. We experienced a leakage once. That night, my baby and I were both so tired and we slept through the night. I woke up to my baby in her wet blanket, the front part of the wearable blanket got soaked. Surprisingly, my baby was not crying so I assume she must not have felt uncomfortable. Also, rashes did not appear at all. This is probably due t...

Whenever my little girl has allergies, cough, or cold, she wants momma to massage her back and chest. The power of touch is something that we moms should not take for granted. I read a book before which stated that patients who were comforted by their doctors (with as simple as holding their hands) recovered faster compared to patients who did not receive a gentle caring touch from their doctors. I received a tube of Euky Bearub and was amazed that the product has existed since 1977. Prior to that, I would use oil to massage my little girl to help her feel better. I will use the Euky Bearub moving forward, but sparingly as much as possible. For cough and congestion, I squeeze a small amount and apply gently on the neck aside from massaging on chest and back. It is recommended to apply before bedtime to relieve difficulty in breathing. I am glad that I can also use this on baby Jill once she turns 1 as it is very gentle even on babies' sensitive skin. Its ingredients a...
