Young Living #CompleteCare Zoom Workshop

May 27, 2020 / Filed Under: Events, Product Feature

I was able to attend my first online event as a blogger last week!

It was the Young Living #CompleteCare Zoom Workshop. I have heard a lot about Young Living Essential Oils and its health benefits but I haven’t tried it. I was interested but for lack of time and energy, I forgot all about it. So when I was invited to this online workshop, I said yes.

In preparation for the workshop, they sent over a kit that we’re gonna be using. It contains a diffuser, Young Living V-6, and six of their essential oils: Thieves, R.C., Oregano, Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint. It also had other materials like roller bottle, pump with soap base, and witch hazel.

The first thing I learned about the workshop is Cold Air Diffusion, where the diffuser atomises a microfine mist of essential oils into the air where they can remain suspended for hours. They say our minds create powerful connection between scents and our emotions, surroundings, and memories.

Energy And Focus

The first thing we did is to diffuse something that promotes mental clarity and clears the air — for energy and focus.

Pour distilled water in the Dewdrop Diffuser and add….

INGREDIENTS:

2 drops Lavender
2 drops Lemon
2 drops Peppermint

Wellness Roller

What you need: 10ml roller bottle

INGREDIENTS:

15 drops Thieves

Combine the oils and then top off with V6. Cap and Swirl. Roll on the bottoms of your feet and up the spine for everyday protection.

Cooling Mist and Chest Serum

COOLING MIST

What you need: 30ml glass spray bottle

INGREDIENTS:

15 drops Peppermint
15 drops Lavender
2 tsp witch hazel
distilled water

Combine oils in the bottle. Add witch hazel. Top off with distilled water. Swirl gently to combine. Use as a cooling mist behind the neck. Use as a body splash or linen spray.

CHEST SERUM

What you need: 10ml glass serum bottle

INGREDIENTS:

20 drops R.C.
10 drops Peppermint
V6 Vegetable Oil Complex

Combine oils in the bottle. Top off with V6 vegetable Oil. Massage onto chest and throat and enhance the aroma to experience a sense of deeper breathing.

Foaming Hand Soap

What you need: 160ml foaming bottle

INGREDIENTS:

60ml natural soap base
15 drops Thieves
10 drops Lemon
distilled water

Put the natural soap base in the foaming bottle. Add essential oils and water and mix until combined.

I really enjoyed this event because I learned a lot in how I can ease tension and anxiety using essential oils during this time of great stress. I also enjoyed the discussion and DIY sessions, (with Ykaie helping in the background,LOL).

Now I know how I can provide #CompleteCare for my family with Young Living.

Thank you YOUNG LIVING! I am obsessed with the diffuser now and I can’t work without it.

Discovered: HIPP Organic Kindermilk for Kids 3yrs old (and above)

March 9, 2020 / Filed Under: Events, health, mommy thoughts, Product Feature

To be honest, we are big milk drinkers. Not only do we think milk is delicious, it’s also highly nutritious. That is why I make it a point to give milk to my children — to keep them healthy and nourished all throughout the day. So when I was invited to the launch of HiPP Organic Kindermilk last February 7,2020 I got excited about it because I wanted to find out more about it.

Organic and Beyond Conference

HiPP Organic is recognized as Europe’s No. 1 Organic Milk Formula Brand and the World’s Number One Organic Baby Food Brand. It has been an established German baby food company and recognized as Baby Food Experts for more than 120 years. They are the pioneers of organic farming and today, one of the world’s largest processors of organic raw materials.

The conference was attended by Mr. Stefan Hipp, the Owner of HiPP, and Mr. Edwin Feist, the Chairman and CEO of Advanced Nutritional Technologies, Inc. (ANTECH).

The country’s very own HiPP Mom Celebrity Ambassadors: Nikki Gil-Albert, Andi Guck-Eigenmann, and the newest addition to the group, Pauleen Luna-Sotto were also there. All three HiPP Moms shared their own sentiments about HiPP Organic Kindermilk and how Choosing Organic changed their perspectives towards their nutrition, as well as of their families.

According to Andi Guck-Eigenmann, her daughter, Ellie, grew up with HiPP Organic and now loves the natural taste of HiPP Organic Kindermilk. That is because HiPP Organic Kindermilk is FREE FROM added artificial sugars. Meanwhile, Nikki Gil-Albert and Pauleen Luna-Sotto say that they have done their own research, and when their little ones, Finn and Tali, each three years old, they can finally introduce HiPP Organic Kindermilk. Both Nikki and Pauleen are convinced that harmful chemicals may interfere with their children’s natural development. They find assurance in the HiPP Organic seal as this guarantees that HiPP Organic Kindermilk is “Free From chemicals that don’t belong in their children.”

At the entrance of the conference were different kinds of booths that contains details about HIpp Organic Kindermilk, and these are what I found out upon reading them…

The organic milk used in the manufacturing of HiPP Organic Kindermilk comes from organic farms that fully comply with the guidelines of organic farming. Cows graze on natural meadows where they can move around anywhere freely. No mineral fertilizers or chemical, synthetic agents are used. Organic Cows grow as naturally as possible. The natural grass, hay and grains they eat ensure the best organic quality for their milk that is very rich in nutrients.

GMO-food and growth hormones are strictly prohibited. They are not given antibiotics prophylactically.

They do the most comprehensive and regulated quality checks that are carried out by independent certification institutes. In addition, HiPP checks all products to numerous physical and chemical parameters that are far stricter than those stipulated by law. This ensures that only the best organic milk is used to feed your child.

So as you can see, it is produced according to strict organic regulations FREE FROM any use of chemical synthetic pesticides or insecticides, artificial fertilizers, artificial growth hormones, prophylactic use of antibiotics, and
GMOs. Moreover, HiPP Organic products are produced and formulated to be FREE FROM gluten-containing ingredients, artificial flavors, artificial colors, and soy protein.

HIPP Organic Kindermilk is FREE From Chemicals That Don’t Belong in Your Child

My Final Take

Like all of you mothers out there, I will do anything to love, care, nourish, and protect my children. I want to give them nutritious food and drinks that are FREE from harmful chemicals that may damage their health in any way. We all know that pesticides and chemicals sprayed on crops may hinder our child’s growth and brain development s as much as possible we want to give them products that are free from it. When we hear the words CERTIFIED ORGANIC, we know it is good for them.

So to sum up why HIPP Organic Kindermilk is good for our kids 3 years old and above:

It is FREE FROM HARMFUL Chemicals
It is FREE from added artificial sugar
It is produced according to strict organic regulations FREE FROM any use of chemical synthetic pesticides or insecticides, artificial fertilizers, artificial growth hormones, prophylactic use of antibiotics, and GMOs
It is FREE FROM gluten-containing ingredients, artificial flavors, artificial colors, and soy protein.
It contains Organic Lactose or the “Brain Sugar”, which is the natural sugar found in milk.
It contains natural Omega-3 that may help support brain development, Calcium and Vitamin D that may help support strong bones, and
It has Organic Prebiotics or Galactooligosaccharides that may help support healthy digestion.

For mommies who want to let their kids try it, HIPP Organic Kindermilk is now available in leading Supermarkets Nationwide.

PAALALA Interactive Sculpture Mimics the Effects of Dementia

December 5, 2019 / Filed Under: Advocacy, Events

Dementia is a condition that breaks apart more than just memories. Left unchecked, the frustration it causes can drive a wedge into the bond of even the closest of kin.

And two weeks ago, we attended the launch of this interactive sculpture PAALALA at Ayala Mall Feliz.

The silent effects of dementia inspired the creation of Paalala, a mixed-media installation by artist Candice Alipio. Several hundred meters of yarn were used to depict a grandmother and her grandchild bonding together. It’s a familiar sight, especially during the holidays.

Here, the magic lies in the medium. The sculpture begs the audience to pull it apart, as if to mimic how dementia unravels a memory. Once all strands are unraveled, a bright red heart hidden in the core will remain. At this point, the message is clear—in the wake of dementia, memories made with the heart are the ones that remain.

The use of yarn also holds symbolic meaning. Some people even tie a length of string around the finger as a reminder of something important. For Paalala, the string from the artwork serves as a reminder to think of those who have difficulty remembering.

“Imagine forgetting about your spouse, your kids, or even your own self. Imagine living in constant anguish because you’ve forgotten the most basic things, like the use of utensils. Or the fact that you’re in the middle of putting on a shirt.” These were the words that Dr. Rosa Carpio, founder of Noli Alzheimer’s and Elderly Care Center, used to describe some challenges faced by those who suffer from dementia.“At Noli, I have declined requests to take in residents who are not yet in the severe stages of dementia,” recalls Dr. Carpio. “For as long as the patient can still make memories, I always tell the family to spend as much time together as they can!”

“Alaska has been a part of Filipino homes for generations, most especially during the holidays,” says Harvey Uong, Marketing and Business Development Director of Alaska Milk Corporation.“We need to raise the discussion now because this season is one of the most stressful for those with dementia. The lack of awareness can ruin the holidays not just for them, but also for the Filipino family that we’ve grown with over the years,”

Paalala was commissioned by Alaska Milk Corporation in a bid to raise awareness about dementia and its effects.

The sculpture, the film, and the partnership with Noli Alzheimer’s and Elderly Care Center are just the first steps in Alaska Milk Corporation’s effort to raise the discussion about dementia. For details on how you can support the cause, send a message to @AlaskaRedKitchen on Facebook and Instagram.
