PRIME PINASARAP MOMENTS AT THE 2ND PRIME MOM CLUB WORKSHOP



FACT:  
I recently joined the Prime Mom Club of MegaPrime. Before they approved my membership, they asked me this question - what are the qualities of a Prime Mom. And my answer:  a Prime Mom is innovative, creative and money savvy.  

As a mother of two, I always try to work on these three characteristics. Being money savvy is easy. I was born kuripot hahaha!  Being creative also, is easy.  But being innovative is not. Its hard to think of new ways of dealing with everyday tasks. Like disciplining, or keeping your teens busy at home. And the biggest challenge -- being innovative in the kitchen. How do you make NEW recipes that your family will love. Or at least, make a few twists and innovation to ordinary recipes to make it interesting. 

This is one of the reasons why I joined the Prime Mom Club :)


MEGA PRIME HOLDS 2ND WORKSHOP FOR ASPIRING MOMPRENEURS

So when I got an invite to the 2nd Prime Mom Club's workshop, I was so excited. Because I know that its a chance to further enhance my kitchen knowledge, at the same time, the invite said, the workshop is geared towards MOMPRENEURS to learn about new business in time for the holidays. I said yes right away to this event, because it is a chance to learn something new!



CRAFTING 101 BY VIA PACHECO OF MAARTSY

First workshop was how to make Holiday trinkets. I have been the crafty mom, but age caught up with me, that now I am having a hard time looking at small pieces of materials without my glasses hahaha!  But that did not stop me from actively participating in the trinket making.  It was the first time that I used long nose pliers in manipulating those small rings to make the trinkets. MRSWISE TIP:  I suggest you don't cut your nails if you want to go into crafting. I had a hard time manipulating the jump rings and eyepins of the small chains because I cut my nails just before I went to the workshop LOL!  

Take a look of the finished product that I made. Very cute!

BIOTULIN: THE SECRET TO BEAUTIFUL SKIN



Having worked in the entertainment industry for two decades, I have been exposed to celebrities who have undergone different cosmetic procedures on their faces. Some looked good after, but I have seen some, who looked kindda weird after admitting to have subjected themselves to such cosmetic procedures. The usual culprit... BOTOX!

A lot of celebrities, local and abroad who have had Botox injected on their faces, admit that, it left them "unable to form any expressions".  

That started my Botox scare. So imagine my reaction, when I received an invite to an intimate presscon of what is dubbed as "organic botox" -- Biotulin.  And when I heard that it is the beauty secret of women icons Madonna, Michelle Obama and Kate Middleton - I just simply had to learn more about the product!  Especially when it claims -- its ORGANIC!


Biotulin Celebrities


ORGANIC BOTOX:  BIOTULIN 


Biotulin is a transparent, fragrance-free organic gel applied to the face and quickly absorbed by the skin, making facial features smooth, soft and supple in no time. It has the power to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines just like Botox but minus the needle injections, pain and downtime. 

Biotulin Mrs.Wise


Before the Philippines, Biotulin is already making waves in other Asian countries like China, South Korea and Singapore. It is also popular in different countries around the world. Aside from the USA, Brazil, New Zealand and Australia, it’s already a top beauty trend in European countries such as Germany, Great Britain, Spain, Italy, France and Portugal.

MRS.WISE MEETS CHRIS UBANO OF MAPUTING COOKING



Mrs.Wise was just happy and grateful to have received an invite to the launch of Chris Urbano's cookbook, held at the Australian Ambassador's Residence.  




This foodie can't hide her excitement, to finally meet Chris Urbano of http://maputingcooking.com/, because I would love to hear him speak Filipino as he shares some of his loved Pinoy dishes.  Also, I love anything and everything Australian, so meeting the Ambassador herself, Ms. Amanda Gorely, is equally exciting!  And to top it all, who wouldn't love to have a taste of Chris' recipes, right? 





No reason to miss this event!

FLY STRAIGHT TO THE BEACH WITH MRS.WISE AND AIRTRAV PH



As a family, we have always enjoyed travelling. We were very blessed with the opportunity to travel together to various Philippine destinations.  Hence, I gave our family this nickname -- #BackPackSquad!  Main goal, to travel light, to see the sights, one backpack at a time  :)




As the kids grow, they are now more focused on their life in school. And soon... in a year or two, they will be both in college. Whew!

But as a parent, our travels are deeply etched in my memory. Of how I will pack their "baby necessities" and dumping it inside our old yellow car... and sometimes travel means 10-12 hours on the road.  Or those times when we had to teach them how to pack smartly, and most importantly how to be always on schedule.

This is the most challenging part - schedule. We let them sleep early, for an early morning flight  (we always book the first flight).  That means, beating the two-hours-before-flight-we have-to-be-in-the-airport sked!  

Upon landing, we are saddled with the 45minutes to 2hours of land trip to reach our destination (so far, the most challenging is travelling to El Nido where we travelled 6 hours from Puerto Princesa to El Nido proper whew!)  This trip was also memorable, because the other family (the Bondocs) didn't make it to the flight, they were LATE, and had to purchase another set of tickets just to get to El Nido  (What a hassle!)


WHY AM I TELLING YOU THESE EXPERIENCES

Because, what if I tell you, that there is a better alternative to reaching your vacation destination without too much hassles.

Eliminate the following:
  • you don't need to be where the plane is, 2 hours before the flight
  • you don't need to queue for your bags to be checked in
  • no more long bumpy road travel to get to your beach destination
How?  With AirTrav Philippines.

THIS IS OUR AIRTRAV.PH STORY:

We've always wanted to go to Puerto Galera. In fact, I have already researched how to get there. Our option: is to ride the bus going to Batangas Pier (roughly 2 hours depending on traffic), then ride the ferry/fastcat to Galera (1-1.5hours). So on the average, it will take 4 hours to get to Mindoro.

But we reached Puerto Galera in 45minutes. Yes, you have read it right. Just 45 minutes via AirTrav Ph.

We left the house in Quezon City at around 6am, reaching Realship Yachts at Manila Bay CCP Complex (where AirTravPh's Seaplane will take off) at exactly 7:10.  We had lots of time to spare before the Seaplane arrived. Five minutes before take off, AirTravPh's co-pilot weighed in our bags. We were asked to sign a paper, showed them our ID's -- and just like that, everything was ready for the flight.  It was FAST and CONVENIENT.




Before boarding the seaplane, our pilot, Captain Joshua explained some safety measures we have to remember during the flight. We felt extra special on that day -- why? Because me and my hubby -- we had the plane all to ourselves. OMG!  It felt like we were being chartered on our own private plane, with a very nice pilot, to a dream beach destination. Which was pretty AWESOME!

AirTrav's can accommodate up to 8 passengers per flight, and every one has a window-aisle seat. Everyone can enjoy the view.
