"Mother's Day Out", an Event for Moms by Beko Philippines

By Mommy Donna and Kib - May 24, 2019

Mother's Day is one of the most important family celebrations because this is the day that we honor our mothers for all of their hard work in raising a family. Mothers are given a time-off by the family by treating them with breakfast in bed, salon makeover, spa date, or by just simply having dinner with the whole family.

What about you, how did you celebrate Mother's Day?

Kib and I went at UP Town Center and we did food-tripping. One of the food that we enjoyed eating was Turkish ice cream. I have been hearing a lot of good things about Turkish ice cream and so glad to know that we can already buy it here in the Philippines! Watch how we were entertained while we are buying our ice cream:

But before Mother's Day, Kib and I went to an event organized by Beko Philippines at Robinson's Magnolia last May 10th called "Mother's Day Out". This event was from May 10-12 to honor the hard work, compassion, and dedication of mothers towards their families through fun activities.

In this event, mothers were pampered with free make-up sessions and tutorials, cooking demos, food tasting, coffee and pastries, and win special prizes.

Here are some photos that I took during the event:

During the event, Dyeun Zapanta, Assistant General Manager of Beko Philippines, discussed the special features of some of the Beko home appliances which can help mothers in their everyday living. The advanced technology of Beko home appliances can help mothers in optimizing their time in managing the home. It helps moms to cut their time in doing household chores so that they can focus more on doing more important things, like having a time for themselves or spending quality time with their family.

Here are some of the special features of Beko home appliances:

Washers--it has "Xpress Super Short" option. It is a 14-minute cycle that is suitable for lightly soiled small load of laundry (up to 2 kilograms). For full load of laundry, "Daily Express" option will finish the job in 28 minutes cycle at 30 degrees Celsius. "Gentle Care 20 degrees" option mimics the tender hands of a mother lightly and effectively washing delicate clothes.

Refrigerators--Beko's "Everfresh" feature in the crisper/vegetable compartment helps in preserving the storage life of fruits and vegetables up to 30 days by controlling the humidity, reducing condensation, and minimizing temperature variations. By this, fruits and vegetables stay crisp and fresh. In addition, "Active Fresh Blue Light" technology helps in preserving the Vitamin C content of fruits and vegetables so that it will maintain its natural flavor and nutritional content. It is like having a greenhouse inside your refrigerator which continues the process of photosynthesis to help maintain the freshness of fruits and vegetables.

Furthermore, the "NeoFrost Dual Cooling System" of Beko refrigerators ensures that there are no air transfers between the freezer and fridge. It prevents food spoilage and foul odor as well.

Ovens--the "Split and Cook" feature will help moms multitask while cooking. Mothers can cook two different dishes inside the oven with two different temperatures.

Indeed, Beko can make our lives easier! These state-of-the-art features of Beko home appliances can provide longer meaningful me-time and quality moments with their loved ones.

Eat Healthy This 2019!

By Mommy Donna and Kib - March 09, 2019

Every year, we always make a New Year resolution that we will be a better version of ourselves. We usually write down things that we either avoid or do more, like avoiding doing bad habits and improving our health.

Honestly, it's really hard to turn into a brand new person in a short period of time, but with intense desire and determination, for sure, you will be able to achieve whatever you desires in your life.

One of the most common New Year resolutions that we usually do is to start a healthy living, and yes, it is one of the hardest things to follow. First quarter of 2019 is not yet over, don't worry! You can still jumpstart your promise of starting a healthy lifestyle.

If you don't know where to start on living a healthy lifestyle, here are the most basic things that you can follow:

1. Drink enough water

We all know that drinking water is essential for the body. However, what most of us don’t realize is that proper hydration plays a key role in our health. When we lack water, we feel dehydrated; and if we feel dehydrated, we feel hungry, causing us to eat more.

Water helps the human body function well and it also helps in maintaining a healthy weight and eliminating toxins. So, start drinking water as a habit by drinking at least eight to 10 glasses every day.

2. Avoid fast food

Fast foods like French fries, burgers, pizzas, doughnuts, among many others, are high in sodium, fat, and sugar. Eating too much of it over a long period of time increases your risk of having high blood pressure, heart disease, and obesity.

Going to fast food joints on a regular basis is an indication of unhealthy eating habits. As much as possible avoid going to fast food restaurants.

3. Choose the better option

Some of the food that we enjoy eating are often not good for us. It is essential to look for healthy alternatives. For example, you can replace your regular fries with sweet potato. This slightly sweeter option is high in fiber and vitamin A and low in calories than your usual potato. You can also replace the classic hotdogs and burgers with a sandwich made with natural ingredients.

By choosing the better option, you are ensuring the health of your family and the quality of the food you and your family consumes.

4. Pack a healthy lunch and snacks for work or school

Packing lunch and snack for you and your kids is not only a good way to save money but is also an effective way to eat healthier since you know what ingredients are into it.

When you prepare your own food, you are able to control the quality and the amount of food you eat. It also helps you to avoid unhealthy food choices from the cafeteria, restaurant or fast food.

Beko, one of the popular home appliance brand, is highly recommending that you cook instead of buying food outside. Beko is every mom's partner in making a family healthy by preparing healthy and delectable dishes. Beko is encouraging every family to start eating healthily and to have a more active lifestyle.
