As we live in a fast-paced life, many families including children tend to have a very busy schedule. And when it comes to preparing meals especially for the kids, time is becoming an issue, making it hard to cook quality homemade meals every day- and even harder if your kids are picky eaters. As a result, many kids’ diets and food choices involve a lot of processed and takeout food. In short, JUNK FOODS. We all know that these are unhealthy and could have a negative effect on your child’s health in the long run- even for parents.

Since children are still in their growing years and are very active, proper nutrition and healthy food selection is very important for them to grow properly and reach their full potential. Parents should encourage and provide their kids healthy, hearty, and tasty meals or snacks. One example is the highly nutritious superfood, the potato.

KNOW MORE ABOUT POTATOES:

• Potatoes are packed with vitamin C (boosts immunity), vitamin B6 (improves cognitive function) and potassium (important for healthy growth and building muscles). It is also rich in other minerals such as iron, calcium, and magnesium.
• Potatoes are filled with “quality carbs” that help optimize mental and physical performance.
• Potatoes are also naturally fat-, sodium- and cholesterol-free making it a good and healthy choice for your kids.

Potato may look simple as it is and you may think meals that can be prepared are limited…You are wrong. In fact, there are several ways to serve kid-friendly meals using potato as your main ingredient.

There are potato-based soups, appetizers, salads, main dishes, and even desserts (yes, desserts!) that use potatoes. It could also be a good substitute for other main ingredients. For example, some native delicacies or kakanin can also be made using potatoes. You may experiment on any dishes and be creative. And much better if you will involve your kids during the preparation, cooking and even plating. It would be a fun and nice bonding experience for you and your kids too.

On the other hand, Potatoes USA, an organization that has brought US frozen, US tablestock and US dehydrated potatoes in the Philippines, offers a lot of options for potato meals. And just recently, Potatoes USA visited The Raya School’s culinary club in Fairview, Quezon City to demonstrate the potato’s versatility through a cooking workshop and discuss about potato’s benefits.

Each student was given a mashed potato kit containing US Potatoes products U.S. Dehydrated Potato Standard Flakes, milk, butter, and salt. Guided by Chef Kristine, the kids were taught how to rehydrate the dehydrated potatoes and turn it into two tasty snacks. The students were also challenged to try their own potato dishes at home so they may share what they have learned during the workshop.

If you want to know how they did the rehydration process for the above products, here they are:

A. For the US Dehydrated Potato Flakes (US Standard Potato Flakes 500 gm), you will need the following ingredients:

• Milk 700 ml
• Butter 200 gm (1bar)
• Salt 16 gm
• Water 2,000 ml

1. Combine water, salt and butter.
2. Heat to a boil, remove from heat.
3. Add cold milk, gently stir in potato flakes. DO NOT WHIP.
4. More flakes can be used if a heavier texture is desired.

B. For the US Dehydrated Standard Potato Granules (US Standard Potato Granules 500 gm), you will need the following:

• Milk 200 ml
• Butter 200 gm (1bar)
• Salt 16 gm
• Water 2,200 ml

1. Bring water, milk and salt to a boil.
2. Pour into mixing bowl.
3. Add potato granules to the liquid slowly, while mixing on low speed using a wire whip attachment for 1 minute.
4. Add butter.
5. Scrape down bowl and whip on high speed until fluffy – 5-7 minutes.

So here are their finished products. The Broccoli Cheddar Potato Puffs and Chocolate Mashed Potato Truffles. Wow! That potato puff looks so yummy as well as the potato truffles! Great job kids! Job well done!

If the kids can do it, so can you. Make your potato dishes with a twist. Like what I said earlier, experiment, be creative and explore other recipes. And oh before I forget, consider keeping the skin on because it contains nutrients too.

US potatoes are available in all major supermarkets and groceries nationwide.

The country’s young and brightest stars aligned and came down to a once-in-blue-moon gathering to support the launch of the Vivo V11 at the Shangri-La at The Fort on September 11, adding more glitz to the brand’s most stellar night of the year.

The launch was kicked off by Julie Anne, also known as the Asia’s Pop Sweetheart, with her powerful medley of Jennifer Lopez songs that pumped up the mood of the guests. KZ, the Soul Supreme, then closed the grand launch with a mini-concert that highlighted her vocal prowess and engaging performance.

Squad goals: A Vivo event is never complete without the signature selfie featuring its endorsers!

The Vivo endorsers, of course, would not let the night end without their traditional selfie with Ms. Annie Lim, the Vice President for PR and Strategy Partnerships, and Ms. Hazel Bascon, the Vice President for Sales. The selfie was taken by Darren who made sure that the Vivo endorsers and executives fit the frame. He used the Vivo V11 that features a 25-megapixel AI selfie camera that produce more vivid and vibrant photos.

The program was co-hosted by Myx VJ Iñigo—along with fellow Myx VJ Ai dela Cruz—who shared the responsibility of making sure the launch stayed the course as planned. Iñigo took on the gargantuan task of hosting the launch although he was a few days away from releasing a new song and a music video.

The Enciso sisters are not only fashionable; they are also techy with their Vivo V11.

Fashion vloggers Vern and Verniece, meanwhile, guided the guests visiting the Vivo V11 Experience Area after the star-studded main event launch.

Daniel, the blockbuster actor, took some time off from his busy schedule to throw his support to Vivo.

One of the highlights of the V11 night was the press conference of the endorsers where they got to share why they love the latest Vivo smartphone. Daniel could not even stop himself from gushing over the V11, especially its In-Display Fingerprint Scanner.

“Who here has watched sci-fi films that showed the use of fingerprint scanning technology to unlock the smartphone? Twenty years ago, we can only watch these on films… Who would imagine that today, tonight we can do the things that we’ve seen only on films? The Vivo V11 is the future,” he said in a mix of English and Filipino.

Daniel also praised Vivo V11 for its 3400mAh with Dual-Engine Fast Charging and its Qualcomm Snapdragon 660AIE Octa-core processor that improve performance for gamers like him.

“This smartphone is not a joke. It is really super high-tech,” he said.

Maymay and Edward, also known as MayWard, meanwhile, shared their youthful charm at the Dealers’ Night. Their fellow housemate, Kisses, also dropped by and said hi to the guests composed of dealers and distributors. Partners who were at the event were Google, Twitter, Globe, Smart, Lazada, Shopee, Akulaku, Spotify, Innity, Robinsons Malls, Ayala Malls, SM Supermalls, Under Armour, Home Credit, Cyberzone Group, Vivo Club Ambassadors, and Vivo Fans.

Washing machines have become a reliable partner of many Filipino households in doing their laundry as it saves more time than washing by hand. Yet when it comes to caring for clothes, many women still have trust issues when it comes to their washing machines. That is the concern that Electrolux seeks to address as it launched the second season of its FashionCare Campaign, which seeks to change the way women do their laundry.

Laundry Woes
To find out more about women’s laundry woes, Electrolux Philippines conducted a research in partnership with Mommy Mundo, one of the country’s leading mom communities. When asked about what fabrics they were afraid to wash using their washing machine, 67% of the respondents say that they are afraid to machine wash their silk clothing, followed by delicate wear (52%), cashmere (40%), and wool (39%).

Among the top reasons why women hesitate to put their clothes in washing machines are more than half of them (58%) think it might ruin the clothes, while some think that machine wash can cause fabric shrinkage (17%) or fading of colours (4%).

When it comes to doing laundry, women worry about more than just cleaning. Fabric care remains one of the unfulfilled needs of women as 77% of them look for fabric care features when they buy washing machines, and among their top 3 laundry concerns are pilling of clothes or what we call himulmol, stubborn stains and misshaping of clothes – two of which are related to caring for the fabric.

The FashionCare Challenge
With women’s laundry concerns in mind, Electrolux created the UltimateCare™ range of washing machines, designed to help women care for their clothes.

At the FashionCare Season 2 Premiere Party, Electrolux Philippines FashionCare Ambassador Rajo Laurel and FashionCare Council Members Amina Aranaz-Alunan and Janice Villanueva put the UltimateCare™ washer dryer to the test as they challenged Electrolux to wash their designer dress, silk scarf and wool jacket, respectively.

The FashionCare Council themselves demonstrated how to use Electrolux UltimateCare washer-dryers, proving how easy and convenient they are to use, and how effective they are in keeping your clothes clean, fresh and vibrant.

Amina Aranaz-Alunan, founder, executive director and teacher of SoFA Design Institute, and Creative Director of fashion accessories and bag label ARANÁZ, was pleased to find that her silk scarf was just as colourful after washing as when she bought it.

“I could keep using this over and over again thanks to Electrolux’s UltimateCare™ washer dryer which has features that care for delicate pieces and keeps them looking new and vibrant,” shared Amina during the event.

Meanwhile, Janice Villlanueva, successful mompreneur and founder of Mommy Mundo, was initially apprehensive about ruining her wool jacket, but found it undamaged and soft to the touch after the washing and drying was finished.

“I used to hand wash wool sweaters like this one because I was afraid it would get stretched out of shape. So I’m excited that the Electrolux’s UltimateCare™ washer dryer can safely wash woollen items and make sure they look their best,” Janice said.

Rajo Laurel, renowned fashion designer and Electrolux FashionCare Ambassador, was sure that his designer dress would come out of the wash unscathed.

“I know that Electrolux understands how important our clothes are to us, and I’m grateful for it. I feel safe knowing that my clothes are in good hands with Electrolux’s UltimateCare™ washing machines,” shared Rajo.

Designed to care for clothes
Electrolux is confident that its latest range of washing machines would rise to the challenge as its UltimateCare™ washing machines comes with UltraMix™ technology to help women not only get better stain removal but better fabric care, helping them retain the colour, shape, and softness of their clothes from delicate wear to designer pieces.

The UltraMix™ technology gives women the results of a hot wash for better stain and dirt removal, yet uses a lower, gentler temperature. Detergent and water are pre-mixed in a special chamber before the beginning of the cycle to maximize cleaning power at a lower temperature. It delivers deeper clean and 31% better colour care, to ensure your favorites look newer for longer

Besides the powerful yet gentle cleaning of UltraMix™, Electrolux UltimateCare™ washing machines extend the life of clothes with Vapour Action, designed to soften fabric while reducing allergens by up to 99.9% that’s gives women the assurance of better care for your clothes for years to come. The Woolmark certified cycle approved by the Woolmark Company, the global authority on wool, will safely launder these precious garments.

Electrolux UltimateCare™ washing machines also has Eco Inverter technology that offers high energy efficiency that reduces energy consumption by 75% and save time by 44%. Women can also enjoy the flexibility and convenience to toss in forgotten items during the washing cycle with add clothes feature.

“For today’s modern woman, clothes are a way of expressing herself, which is why she doesn’t trust washing machines with her priceless pieces of clothing. But we at Electrolux want to share that now, there is a washing machine that cares for your clothes as much as you do.With the FashionCare Campaign, Electrolux wants to introduce a better way of taking care of our machine wash-sensitive clothes. With the Electrolux UltimateCare™ washing machines, you not only get cleaning, but fabric care that makes clothes look newer for longer,” shared Andrea Soto-Pionilla, Country Marketing Manager of Electrolux.

In line with its FashionCare campaign, Electrolux is offering several great deals on its washing machines, with offers up to 25% off on selected front load washing machines and washer- dryers.

Most smartphones nowadays no longer give importance to phone storage capacity. But this feature is, in fact, vital to keep travel photos, family videos, apps, songs, and games in a single device. With ample storage capacity, smartphone savvy users no longer have to stop everything just to delete a memorable photo or a favorite song to make space for new memories and adventures. Thus, a smartphone’s storage capacity has become an important feature that the always on-the-go millennials, selfie lovers, and gamers scrutinize when they are buying a new unit.

With these consumer habits in mind, Vivo is set to launch its next flagship smartphone with a more substantial and expansive storage to meet the growing demands of its users for everyday responsibilities, wants, and needs.

Continuous improvements have been introduced to further develop Vivo’s products such as the V7+ and the V9 with 64 GB ROM (supports microSD Card up to 256GB).

Vivo’s latest flagship smartphone in the Philippines, the X21, has superb storage capacity with 128 GB, which is expandable to 256 GB. Meanwhile, the Vivo NEX has 128 GB, proving that Vivo is pushing to offer more to its consumers.

Always evolving and keeping its fans on their toes, everyone’s excited for what else is more to come for Vivo.
