It has been a while since I last attended a blogging event ever since the little man started going to big school this year. That is why it is such a delight to be out and joining fellow mum bloggers and members of trad media for the recent Electrolux event. Besides it has been some time since I got invites from fellow blogger Ferds, from FleishmanHillard and was not able to attend that I did not have the heart to say no this time around! ^_^

The Electrolux Delightful-E Simple launch was held at Le Jardin ~ The Fort, in Taguig City. Hosted by my favorite DJ, Delamar Arias, the occasion was also graced by Electrolux Brand Ambassadors Chef and mum Rosebud Benitez, Chef Bruce Lim, Mommy Mundo’s Janice Villanueva and celebrity mum and top endorser Cheska Garcia-Kramer. Each shared personal experiences on why they simply love Electrolux appliances and how these products help make their lives easier and simpler.

The audience was first treated to a delightful meal with seared Foie Gras, grilled Salmon Fillet, various cheeses and dark chocolate mousse for dessert before the program commenced.

Delightful-E Simple To Share

Any worthy cause that benefits children is all right in this mum’s book, so I was really excited to be part of the Electrolux Delightful-E Simple Event. And I am happy to announce that  Electrolux’ annual clothes donation drive is back this year and with an exciting twist. While Electrolux will continue to collect and wash donated pre-loved clothes, they will add a personal touch to this worthwhile advocacy.

In partnership with Gawad Kalinga’s Trese, Electrolux will add extra warmth to the pre-loved collected clothes for calamity-stricken survivors. This time around, they will transform unusable donated clothes {like gowns, costumes, toga and the likes ~ yes there are people who donate these things!} into lovely and colorful quilts for new born babies from orphanages and other communities.

Quilts are originally made to tell the story of each piece of fabric sewn to complete it, the Delightful-E Simple To Share quilts will lovingly document a story of underprivileged mothers of Trese as they help newborns in need. This new twist aims to show that sharing goes beyond donating clothes. It distinguishes the difference between giving and sharing, and inspires people to impart a piece of themselves as they share.

Those in attendance are all encouraged to do their simple part and were given pieces of colorful clothes to write their messages on and place the Delightful-E Simple Pledge Wall to show their support for the Electrolux clothes donation drive.

Delightful-E Simple To Save

In the same event Electrolux launches the Savings Calculator, in line with their aim to help mums save money and time by making their day-to-day tasks delightfully simple and easy. This is a very user-friendly Facebook App that was designed to help mum track her laundry expenses, as well as her savings. With this handy app mum learns about how much she can save when she decide to choose smarter ways to get the laundry done.

Electrolux also launches contests and giveaways on Facebook and Instagram in line with their Delightful-E Simple To Save and Share Campaigns and I will tell you all about in a separate post so that I can include every detail on how you can join and get the chance to win a new Electrolux Washing Machine for your homes! ^_^

Mum Finds: Lovely Mason Jars

home, mum finds, products, homemaking

I fell in love with these beautiful mason jars ever since I saw them on Instagram. There are a number of online shops there who sell these lovelies, although this cheapskate mum find them a tad expensive so I just contented myself with looking and browsing at the interesting mason jar photos online. That changed, though, when I chanced upon this awesome promo by IG shop @paperstrawlove.

Can you believe that I only got to pay Php500 for the following:

  • {1} Ball 16oz regular mouth mason jar
  • {1} Ball 16oz wide mouth mason jar
  • {1} Ball 16oz Heritage Collection blue mason jar
  • {25 pcs} assorted paper straws

Did you ever wonder where these jars got their name? According to Wikipedia, the mason jar was invented by John Landis Mason, a Philadelphia tinsmith, in 1858, thus, earning its name.

The mason jars are just perfect for juices and other beverages or as storage for food leftovers, as well as keepers and ref organizer. The air-tight lids are also most ideal for storing pre-cut and sliced veggies and fruits, to keep them fresh while I keep them on standby in the fridge so I won’t have to munch on unhealthy snack items whenever the hunger pangs strike. At the moment, my mason jars have singkamas and carrots slices.

I also love that the package comes with 25 pieces of paper straws, which I will be addig to my stash so the little man won’t have to use plastic straws whenever we dine out.

Hopefully I’d chance upon another awesome deal soon. Am eyeing the Libby Country Fair jars with handle next!  😉

Mum Finds: Bevara Sealers From Ikea

household products, products, mum finds

I think products from Ikea are simply ingenious, won’t you agree? I have a couple of Ikea items, including a non-skid rug, a non-stick pan and a bunch of colorful glasses, plates and cutlery for the little man, which I purchased through one of those online groupon sites and I just love ’em! If there is a local Ikea nearby, and if I can afford it, I’d probably splurge on interesting items regularly! Oh well, fat chance, I know.

Recently we went to a local Waltermart branch in Plaridel and chanced upon these colorful Ikea Bevara sealers and I instantly like them. They are really useful in sealing left over chips, breads, cereals, milk, condiments and whatnot. I have a couple of cute sealers which I got years ago and I’d love to have a few more to add to my collection. It might come pricey at Php249 for 30 pieces, but it is a good thing my sister agreed that we chip in so we can buy a pack! I am one happy camper. 🙂

I cannot wait to use my new sealers. The little man beat me to it, though, and went on to play with them before I can put them away. He was also probably smitten by their lovely pastel colors!
