Shopkins Shopville Manila

My little bunny likes toys. Just like me, I like collections. Though not large scale, I allow her to buy a few of stuff she likes.

Then these came. Pencil toppers, she says. Justifiable, since she does use them as such sometimes. But most often, she just plays with them. I join in, too.

So happy was she to learn about this event. And even happier that we got an invitation from Toy Kingdom and Richville Prime Global. And happiest that it was just at the Mall of Asia!

Pocket activities happened in the two-day event.

Thank you, Toy Kingdom and Shopkins for this really fun event! Until the next.

GH Mums: Good Housekeeping Philippines’ Mothers Day event at MOA

image

How did you spend the special day for your moms? Mine was almost a whole month celebration, attending events for moms like this one.

Just as the month for mothers was about to end, Good Housekeeping Philippines, a magazine of Summit Media, had this one afternoon event for urban moms like me, in my side of town– Mall of Asia!

Called GHMums (or Modern Urban Moms of Manila), the event featured booths, workshops, and prizes for its attendees, mostly mothers, who took this time to relax as they shop, learn, and enjoy.

I did. Here are some of the things I did that afternoon:

image
SHOP from 30 concessionaires offering the latest products covering beauty and wellness, food, kids, and home, among others.
image
LEARN from a series of talks from Good Housekeeping editors and experts.
image
ENJOY games, raffles, prizes, entertainment, and booth activities. I had this makeover by Maquillage Profesionnel.

Here’s more about the event, which I really hope would happen again next year. Hapoy Anniversary, Good Housekeeping Philippines!

Good Housekeeping Philippines, the leading family and home magazine in the country, in partnership with SmartParenting.com.ph and Yummy magazine, recently held the newest gathering of Modern Urban Moms (MUMS) on May 28, Saturday, from 1:00 to 6:00 PM, at the SM Mall of Asia Main Mall, Atrium.

For hardworking moms who don’t want to compromise style and beauty, Elaine Natividad, Beauty and Features Editor of Good Housekeeping, shared “10 Ways to Style Your Scarf,” while Ara Fernando, Lancome PH Ambassador for Make-up, conducted a “Basic Brow Masterclass.” For moms who face the perpetual problem of clutter, Editor-in-Chief Tisha talked about organizing homes with “Say Goodbye to Kalat.” Simple physical exercises at home were presented by Managing Editor Angela Constantino Aquino in “Health Hacks,” while Anika Ventura, professional travel and lifestyle writer and editor, talked about “Everyday Fitness.” Roselle Miranda, Good Housekeeping’s Food Editor, demonstrated some no- cook dishes for moms pressed for time. And lastly, a calligraphy class was conducted by Staff Writer Nicole Sindiong, together with professional teacher and calligraphy artist Paola Esteron.

Good Housekeeping MUMS of Manila was presented by: SM Supermalls and Scotch Brite, with Major Sponsors: Pioneer Epoxyclay and Baby Company; and Minor Sponsors: Downy Baby Gentle and Goldilocks.
