Just Hold On



If there's a personal thing that I wanna share in this blog is that I am happy to share with you guys that I am now a student-mom. So much realization this year that I decide to enroll again. I believe that it's not late to reach for my dreams. life is not a race. Sometimes our journey is far from what we are expected but hey at least we are trying on the right path and it's not late for everything no matter the age you are now just like me. What made me decide was my kids are growing fast and I felt any moment from now they'll leave the house and maybe this is the right time for me. To think back on what I want in life, my dreams.


Aside from being a student-mom, I do the usual things that I love to do like shopping online, and I found this perfect store that matches my mood hbcu varsity jackets lot of varsity jacket collections to choose. In every LegacyHistoryPride™ sale, a portion of the proceeds specifically benefits the College or University through their Licensing Agreements.


Everything changes, our plans changed in every situation but it is always for the good. Whatever your life may be right now, there's always a sun that will shine any moment. So, hold on and keep on dreaming. 

Hitting “Reset”: Digging Yourself Out of Your Lowest Ebb




Everybody feels that they hit a low point on occasion. Perhaps the abundance of parental stress means that you raise your voice at your child or you are telling yourself you must try harder. But this is where we have to remember when we are hitting a low point from our perspective, that we learn from life’s many lessons. Here are some things to think about if you feel you are at a low point.


Help Is Not a Bad Thing
Help is one of those things that so many people feel they shouldn't ask for; that they have to dig themselves out of their hole themselves because this will make them feel that they have achieved something more. But help is not a sign that you are reaching for handouts but it's that you have the courage to admit that you need extra insights. There are so many professional approaches that can help. In terms of addiction, there are infinite resources, some of which you can find on https://www.sunshinebehavioralhealth.com/texas/lubbock/. But help is one of the things that will give you the step-up you need after your lowest points. If someone offers something, it's not going to make your life easier, but it's going to give you a different perspective of the situation.


Take it One Day at a Time
When you are in a horrible place, you've got to focus on one action and take small steps. Because if you start to think about the bigger picture, this is going to overwhelm and this is where stress becomes the default setting. Breaking it down to finite components, for example, doing your morning routine will help you to focus on what is happening right now. You can't change what's happened in the past and you cannot predict the future, but you can focus on what is going on right now.


Accept the Circumstances
You need to remember that when you are in a difficult time, improving your conditions and minimizing pain is about accepting what is going on. It's not easy to do but you can practice acceptance. There is a handy little guide on https://tinybuddha.com/blog/3-steps-to-practice-acceptance-have-a-peaceful-life/ to get you started. You cannot make progress if you do not accept the situation or the circumstances. Someone going through a separation or a divorce can put their head in the sand, but while it may take some time to accept that there will be changes to your life arising from this situation, you can stop blaming and deflecting, and focus on healing.



Starting from Scratch
Starting from scratch is not a bad thing. We all feel we've built up a certain life for ourselves and we fight to keep it. But sometimes we are living a false existence with values that do not align with who we really are. Sometimes the big things in life give us the stark message that we need to start over, whether it’s divorce, the death of a loved one, or losing your job, the reality is that hitting your lowest point can be the best way to hit the reset button.

In-Store Robotic Displays: How FMCG Brands Launched The Most Disruptive Innovation in Trade Marketing During This Pandemic


Brands have depended on the same-old in-store marketing and visual merchandising to enhance engagement and sales strategies for decades: cardboards, shelf stoppers, sampling initiatives, and price discounts.

So, naturally, there is a strong desire for upgrading the shopping experience within physical stores, as customer behavior changes at a rapid pace.

Then enter the pandemic and everything about what we know was thrown under the bus!

Consumers only visited groceries that follow appropriate health safety protocols, decreased their shopping time, and prioritized only the essential categories.


Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) brands faced obstacles in trade marketing, such as how to announce brand promotional offers and perform activations inside the store.

So, given how shoppers refuse to engage with human promoters due to Covid risks and some stores banning promoters altogether, we offered the In-Store Robotic Display (RD).

Enter Youthopia's Robotic Display Solution
Youthopia's robotic display solution is the ideal program for brands to achieve their goals specifically in driving awareness and trial for newly introduced products to the market – may it be new flavors, new scents, or new variants, and ultimately conversion for new products.

Youthopia pioneered Tokinomo here in the Philippines, a shelf advertising robotic display that highlights products and allows for a completely new sort of brand communication at the point of sale.

One that has never been seen before!

The interactive approach used by Tokinomo is disruptive, memorable, and effective. Tokinomo creates things that talk, dance, move, or sing to market themselves! Imagine a robot advertising superstar!

Besides winning the trust of top FMCG brands all over the world, Tokinomo Robotic Display has won several international awards for being the best retail innovation and digital POP display solution.

The Holy Grail of In-store Marketing in this Dark Age
It was out of the question that the In-Store Robotic Display would cause market disruption, and since it will be the first in the Philippines, brands are more optimistic that it will result in growth for the participating brand.

The RD is simple to install inside the store and is affordable! And to prove this, more and more brands have tried it, counting Alaska Creamy Evap, Alaska Powdered Milk, Alaska Condensed Milk, Kellogg’s Choco Magic, Similac Gain School, Similac Tummy Care, UFC Soup, UFC Gravy, UFC Fun Chow, Wow Sarap and Locally as its early users.

Robotic Displays for FMCG brands
The supermarket aisles had grown silent the past year or so, as the country goes through a series of lockdowns.

This development is an opportunity for FMCG brands to set themselves apart from the competition through innovative solutions such as Robotic Displays. As a matter of fact, FMCG brands around the world are already using Robotic Displays with outstanding results in terms of shopper engagement, and sales.

In this time of pandemic where safety is the most important consideration of doing brand activations, the RD program will serve the purpose of human promoters.

And we are here to see it for more years to come.






5 Things to Take When You're Taking Your Baby Outside

 


A change of scene is always welcome for your baby and you. If your little one has learned to walk, sourcing good walking shoes for baby is preferable. Your daughter or son will enjoy exploring the outside world on their two feet.

Equipping your baby bag with all the essentials ensures you have a memorable outing. Knowing you have all you need for your child at hand is reassuring and allows you to venture out with a peaceful state of mind.

Baby’s Day Out
Depending on how long you will be away from home with your baby dictates the extent of baby stuff you ought to carry. Investing in neutral pairs of good walking shoes for the baby will thrill your kid no end.

For a longish stay out, pack an extra pair of footwear for your little one. Enumerated below is a list of five items you must carry along when you step outdoors with a baby in tow.

Sufficient Diapers
Disposable diapers are such a boon, especially when your baby is not quite potty trained. Always cater for extras to cover unforeseen eventualities when outdoors.

Suppose you possess a foldable diaper changing station. In that case, cart it along, too, so you need not struggle with this exercise while on the move. Baby wipes make the cleaning process easy, and diaper rash cream keeps your baby out of discomfort when constantly wearing diapers.

Bags for Soiled Stuff
When used diapers need disposing of, you can wrap them in disposable bags. Dirty baby clothes that are pending a wash also warrant a dedicated bag on you when out. You can then conveniently segregate these items instead of mixing them with the clean stuff.

First-Aid Kit
Carrying pain relievers, ointments, and lotions is a necessity. Should your baby get hurt when out, rubbing the infected area with a soothing cream brings much relief to your kid? Equipping the first aid kit with general-purpose medicines for a common cold, fever, cough, and diarrhea prepares you to tackle the worst-case scenario.

Change of Clothes
Fresh sets of clothes for your baby are invariably needed as there is always a possibility of accidental leaks from the diaper. Babies also tend to dirty their clothes, especially when in a playful mood.

Make sure you carry pairs of baby clothes based on the weather outside. Warm clothing will make your baby miserable when out in humid conditions while adequately layering your little one keeps them snug in the chill outdoors.

Favorite Toys
Your baby will invariably have a favorite stuffed animal or soft toy that they sleep with and carry everywhere. Before stepping out, make sure you carry a couple of your kid’s favorite leisure activities.

Whether your child enjoys reading, playing with a toy, or playing games, keeping them distracted and gainfully engaged will do you good. When in a different environment, you must make your baby feel comfortable, so they do not battle with adjustment issues.

Take your charger along, so you are always connected should you need to reach out for help when out.

Equip yourself with all the requisite baby accessories, including a car seat, so you can make the most of your trip outdoors.

3 Tips In Decorating Your Home For Christmas

 




It’s a tradition for a lot of Filipino families to decorate their homes for the Christmas season. Some even do it as early as soon as September hits, while some do it after Halloween.

If you haven’t decorated your home yet, it’s not too late! You still have plenty of time to ornate your home with Christmas decors, both inside and outside. But before you start decorating, beware! It’s a fun thing to do with the whole family, but it’s not easy.

If you’re planning to decorate your home for this Christmas, here are 3 quick and easy tips.


Allot more than a day to decorate
Trust us, it’s going to take more than a day to decorate your home. If you still have the decorations from the past years, dusting them and making sure they’re still in the right condition can take a lot of time. Of course, you also allocate time for cleaning the parts of your home where you’ll place the decorations.

Make sure you plan ahead of time before you decide to decorate. Otherwise, you may end up spending more time decorating the home than you’re supposed to.


Search for themes and motif
Another struggle when decorating for Christmas is setting the theme. Going for the classic red and green never gets old, but it gets boring if that’s all you decorate every year. A cool hack would be to search on Pinterest for new themes to try out.

You don’t have to purchase all new decorations just so you can have a fresh concept. Unleash your creativity and mix and match Christmas decors.


Limit your kids’ involvement
Decorating for Christmas is a family activity, including your kids. Get them involved, but not too involved. Otherwise, you won’t complete your decorating schedule for the day. Be it letting them hang decors on the Christmas tree or placing gifts under the tree, make it clear to them what they can and can’t do.


For the final decor, involve your youngest kid to place the star on top of the Christmas tree! It’s a Pinoy tradition and a cute little note to finish your decorating.


A well-decorated home is not the most important thing this Christmas. It’s getting together as a family and as a community, celebrating the holidays together, and eating good food together. BellaVita places great emphasis on community and enjoying the holidays together.


One of life’s necessities is having a home, but have you ever had a place you can call your own? Here in BellaVita, we will highlight to you the importance of one of our brand pillars, Sakto sa Bulsa, or in other words, affordability.


In a time of great uncertainty, a voice of knowledge and reassurance can make all the difference. "Stay home" has been the consistent mantra of the pandemic, and having a home you love where you can safely shelter in place feels more important than ever. Our mission in BellaVita, to provide a quality and affordable living experience to the Filipino people, remains true and the same especially during times like this.


Having said that, we are focused on fulfilling our mission by offering a house and lot for as low as P450,000 with a 22-square meters floor area and an average lot area of 36 square meters. It only takes Php 3,500.00 out of your wallet or bank account to reserve a unit with BellaVita. Monthly amortization for as low as Php 1,887 or just about P60 per day, cheaper than branded coffee or milk teas. Spending on your own home is a better investment, don’t you think?


BellaVita offers one of the lowest prices you'll ever see in the market. Furthermore, you can choose between Pag-IBIG or a bank to finance your dream investment.
