Did you know that our body has normal flora (good bacteria) that protects us from foreign pathogens? It acts mainly as a defense against bacteria or viruses. Any imbalance will signal our body to produce more cells to fight bacteria. Our digestive system has an important function in our body because it is the one that breaks down the food that distributes the nutrients that is essential to our body. That is why we need to be wary of what we feed our gut. My kids love eating. No matter how I tell them about proper hygiene during mealtime, they always forget. Our hands are the main conveyor of bacteria that goes through our gut and bacteria cannot be seen by the naked eye. Lately, the kids have been feeling bloated. I realized that they have a missing equation in their diet which is their probiotic drink. I abruptly stopped their probiotic drink because they tend to consume a lot. I only boost them by providing them with a balanced diet and vita...

They say that we need to spend more on making memories with the children rather than material things. So as a mom, I came to make it a point to spend at least a day with the kids playing all day long. I know I have been a stay at home parent for as long as I can remember, but it doesn't mean that I have all the time with them. Running a household is not as easy at is it is let alone parent three kids and their dad.  But these times wherein commodities are already expensive, we need to think of ways on how to spend the family day without spending so much. So what are the frugal ways to spend it?

So for the past few months, I haven't touched the payments I received from my Paypal Account because I have no idea how to cash it in other than spending it to pay something I buy online using PayPal funds. But recently, I thought I should do something about it because I cannot spend all for nothing just because I couldn't send the funds to my Philippine bank accounts. I have been hearing GCash and the minimum fee for you to be able to transfer your Paypal fund to your bank account. I thought, I'd give it a try. Then I did. But what hesitates me is that I have no Globe mobile number anymore. I downloaded the app still and registered. Good news! You can now use GCash with your existing mobile number! It is now easy to do it since I don't have to add another number! Sounds good right? Now let me walk you through the steps with GCash. All you have to do is download the app (it is both available in IOS and Android app) and input all your details. ...

Cooking has been one of my me-time. I love whipping up something for the family and love to hear them compliment the food I serve them. My family loves to bond over food, especially my kids. I love seeing them eat together and having fun. If only I have all the time in the world, I would cook them every meal different viands just so they could have more than one variety every day.  But when it comes to cooking, I like something that is reliable and could keep up with me. I want something that is durable (could last for years), and reliable. I remember growing up with La Germania and it was there where I learned how to cook my very first food that is--sunny side up egg. It stayed with us for more than a decade until my mom decided to let it go.  To further demonstrate how having a great partner in the kitchen can help you achieve great things, brand advocates and husband and wife culinary team Chefs Rolando and Jac Laudico conducted a cooking demo during Th...
