My Year-Ender Giveaway

In a few days, we will all be celebrating the coming of a new year. My 2013 has been a tiring yet blessed one, yes. I've gained a lot of experience mostly from my internship and family. I've learned the art of time management (or so I hope)-- juggling those moments around being a mom, a wife, a student, a daughter, a sister and a junior intern. I've committed mistakes I never thought I would. I've made, strengthen and unmade friendships. I broke down but learned to stand up for what I believe. But definitely, the most important of all things is, I've loved. I realized that by loving the things you do, you learn to love all the people involved. It's a great opportunity to be surrounded by people where you can grow.

And because my 2013 had been a good if not a better one for me in almost all aspects of my career, I probably cannot let this year pass without having a little giveaway for the people who shared it with me. I am truly blessed to be sponsored by these wonderful companies in such a short notice. We will be giving away great goodies for mommies and their babies as well. There will two (2) winners of loot bags from Zen Zest Asia, Mustela Philippines, The Curly Shoppe plus each will also win one (1) unlimited play wristbands at Fun Ranch Playdium redeemable at Ortigas or Alabang branches, one (1) pair of reversible Wish Baby crib shoes and one (1) gift pack from Drypers Philippines.

Here's to introduce my sponsors:

Zen Zest Asia

I've first tried Zen Zest products back in college. My dorm mate/friend back then, introduced me to Tangerine and I fell in love with the smell. Sadly, I have not been using Zen Zest products for some time now. But it's good to see how the company has evolved into just focusing resources to eau de parfums and cologne to now selling home products. I visited their stall at SM Marikina last week and so happy to see great new products I can buy for our house. Let me share with you some new addition to their products.

 Fragrance diffuser (100 mL valued at Php 600)

Room fragrance (50 mL)

Room deodorizer (250 mL valued at Php 250)

Fun Ranch

Fun Ranch is the only complete children's complex and party place in the country today. It has various activities that cater to the whole family. One thing nice to know about this amusement place is that they do not have an entrance fee. But you have to pay for the rides, of course. 

Fun Ranch is definitely a one-stop-amusement place for kids and kids at heart. Completely equipped with activity centers, food shops, stores and rides and activities they will surely enjoy.

They currently have two (2) branches-- one in Frontera Verde, Ortigas and the other at Westgate Alabang, just behind S&R shopping store. Their unlimited play at both Alabang and Ortigas branches is priced at Php 300 on weekdays and Php 350-390 on weekends.

They also offer party packages for anything you want to celebrate. I can just imagine how they celebrate weddings here-- must be fun. They have prepared buffet packages and personalized ones.

Wish Baby Crib Shoes

How many mothers could have saved up extra money if they have known these cute, reversible shoes from Wish Baby Crib Shoes? Wish Baby Crib Shoes started online selling through facebook just last July of this year. They retail reversible baby shoes that you can wear in 3 ways.

These shoes are soft, breathable and really fashionable. Here are my personal picks:

 

Mustela Philippines

Many of my readers may have known Mustela since ages now. Mustela Philippines is a complete range of skin care products that caters to mothers and their babies that have normal to dry and sensitive skin. One thing I loved about Mustela is that they do not only provide us with products from nature but they also cater to skin care needs of babies and toddlers with skin conditions such as eczema-prone skin, atopic dermatitis even newborns with cradle cap.  

Mustela Philippines have always been generous to my blog for this year 2013 and I probably can't thank Ms. Shane of Mustela for being supportive of my endeavors. 

The Curly Shoppe

You might have been wondering why the name of this online shop? The Curly Shoppe is an online shop for your newborn, toddler, infants and mommy needs which was launched last July of 2013. The shop's name was inspired by the owner's curly daughter, Lulu.

The online store offers a great variety of products-- from must-haves to really cute fashion finds. They sell both local and branded products. For newbie and expecting moms, you might just want to browse on their albums and find something you will perfectly love for your kiddos. 


Drypers Philippines

Most mommies should be picky when it comes to diapers for their babies' sensitive skin. I am definitely one of them. Although I will not be doing a review on Drypers diapers here because I honestly haven't tried the product yet so that would be unfair. But just to give you readers a brief idea.

Dypers baby diapers now come in three (3) different versions: 
1) Drypers Soft baby diapers are specially made for newborn babies.
2) Drypers Wee Wee Dry baby diapers have a 100% breathable cloth-like cover keeping the baby's skin cool and fresh; and 
3) Drypers DRYPantz baby diapers has a Flexi-Fit Design that ensures a snug wear which stretches to follow baby’s every move for enhanced mobility and great comfort. 

If you want to know more about their products, please take time to check their website at http://www.drypers.com.ph/ especially dedicated for moms, soon-to-be mommies and parents planning to have a baby! There are valuable things that you can find in there. What also nice is that you can get in touch with other members of the community to get some piece of advice about how you can prepare build good relationships with your baby and hubby at the same time and when your having problems with parenting. Plus, they also give Diaper samples for FREE! 

King Sue Ham

 

Hams are New Year's Eve stars. We cannot seem to celebrate the coming of the year without any type of ham served on our table. We do it either fried or steamed, glazed or non-glazed. But whatever the preparation might be, they are sure great hit at midnight.

King Sue Ham started serving Filipinos since 1930. With a variety of products (hams, chorizos, sausages, cold cuts, etc.) nowadays, we have certainly heard a great deal of reviews from it. And just in time for Chinese New Year a few weeks from now, you might want to be trying their special Chinese Ham for a change, with it's own distinct Orient flavor--definitely fit for a king!
