Alaska Launches Disney and Marvel Themed Kids Milk and Yoghurt Drink

One of the many things my kids ask me to buy for them in grocery, aside from their usual snacks like cookies and snacks, is the Alaska Yoghurt Drink. They knew which aisle in the grocery to get them! They really liked it that much! My kids were really sold on Barbie and Hot Wheels characters on the tetra pack! Haha! Now, my kids L-O-V-E Alaska even more because of the Frozen characters and Marvel superheroes theme!

Bought the popsicle maker at Daiso just a week before!

A few weeks ago, I took my kids with me to the launch of the collaboration of Alaska Milk Corporation and Disney and their "Who will you be today?" campaign for kids. It was also my first time to take both kids to an evening event. I thought they would find it boring but they actually had fun and won prizes!

We had our photo taken with Captain America and Ironman! Ang tangkad nila! Heehee! If you must know, Y was in all black because she's Black Widow daw.

During the launch, there was a kids section where the kids get to choose who they want be. They were given of what looks like the drink but printed in a flat thick paper and each drink and character has their corresponding accessories! This can be found at the back of the drink. There's Ironman's mask or repulsor ray, Spiderman's mask or web shooter, Queen Elsa's crown and more!

Thank you to the Ates who helped Y and R cut their accessories! My kids had fun playing with the other kids at the event!

Alaska has been a strong advocate of healthy child development ensuring every child gets proper nutrition! Mommas, rest assured that Alaska Ready-To-Drink Kids milk is healthy and nutritious for our kids.

Alaska's Choco and Sweet Milk drinks have the essentials vitamins and nutrients that support you active kid's lifestyle!

 While the Alaska Yoghurt Drink contains naturally fermented good bacteria that aids proper digestion! The yoghurt drink comes in Blueberry and Strawberry flavors!

During the launch, they held several easy games. I'm usually a party pooper haha but R wanted to win something. I think he's really a very competitive person! While Y is the shy type but I still got to encourage her to join and answer and she won a Captain America notebook! I wanted to win the Funko Pop but no luck for me! Haha! The last game they joined was what made my kids' night.

The host just asked them who's their favorite Disney or Marvel character and instant panalo na!

Just look how thrilled my kids are especially the little boy! Haha! Y was super happy she got a new Elsa costume because her current one is small na! R got a Captain America costume but it's big for him so we'll keep it muna!

Alaska Milk Corporation focuses on nourishing and developing our kid's mind and body while Disney creates happiness and magical moments for our kids and family. This collaboration aims to encourage healthy drinking habits among our children. Congratulations Alaska for this milestone!

“This is the start of a long-term relationship with Disney. Our commitment in Alaska RTD Kids is for every kid to start with a nourished mind and body through our healthy and nutritious drink selection. And our collaboration with Disney allows kids to be more creative and imaginative, which are essential building blocks in a child’s all-around development,” shares Blen Fernando, Marketing Director of Alaska Milk Corporation.

Mr. Hiroki Horino, GM – Disney Consumer Products, Southeast Asia said, “We encourage healthy eating habits among kids and families everywhere. We are happy that we are able to inspire kids and families everywhere through our stories and characters to adopt healthy lifestyles. We are excited to work with Alaska Milk Corporation in making kids enjoy drinking milk and stay stronger.”

My kids and their NFF. Hindi naman obvious that my kids are super happy noh?! Haha!

And at the end of the launch, we were all treated to a last full show of Civil War! Were you Team Captain America or Team Ironman? The movie lasted until about 1AM! R fell asleep halfway through the movie while Y fought her sleepiness to finish the movie. Buti na lang she stayed awake, I don't know how will I go to the car pag tulog silang pareho! Haha! Thank you so much Alaska!

We took a lot of Alaska goodies that my kids asked for two packs a day and I also made them into popsicles just because ANG INIT! It's a healthier alternative to ice cream! Oh and school opening is just a month away and Alaska's RTD Milk and Yoghurt drink will surely become a staple baon for my kids!

Freeze and enjoy!

Disney is a part of every kid's childhood! I grew up watching Disney movies and my kids are now growing up with Disney movies, Disney Channel and Junior shows, they know the name of the shows and characters by heart. Ang cute lang! My not so little girl loves Frozen and we've been frozen in Frozen for more than two years now haha! She has the dolls, the plush toys, books, pencils, even her clothes! When I took her to Disneyland last year, it was our main agenda to have her photos taken with Queen Elsa and Anna and it was mission accomplished! So when she saw me browsing through Globe's website and saw the Disney Mobile phones, she has been bugging me to get her the Frozen!

A&D Finds: Where To Buy Queen Elsa and Princess Anna Costumes

It's just a week a way before Halloween and all the Trick or Treat events are happening next week! Got your costumes? Where are you spending your Halloween? No plans yet? Check out Smart Parenting's Guide! 

I am procrastinating when it comes to the kids' costumes. I want to use what we have for their costumes. I already have an idea for R's costume but I also borrowed costumes so I'll have choices. For Y, last year she was Snow White, for this year, since she has a lot of tutus and puffy skirts, I borrowed wings so she can be a fairy na lang. BUT.... a part of me wants to dress her as Queen Elsa! Ayan na passing frustrations from my own childhood... Heehee! But really, Y has been bugging me she wants to dress as Elsa, with the cape and braided hair, the works!

So now I am kind of cramming and looking for Elsa dresses and costumes.  JUST IN CASE! But I can't really decide which one to buy because I have a budget and have to stick with it! I've searched every nook of the internet (naks!) on where I can get the nicest Elsa and Anna gowns and dresses that goes with your budget.

Celestina & Co.
Y wore a Celestina and Co (@celestinaandco) Snow White apron last year and she also wears it even on normal days when she just feels like it. It is super sulit! This is usually on a pre-order basis, but I found out that Baobao Babies carries ready-made aprons, the catch is they are located in Cebu. Sayang lang because Y's size is still for pre-order. Boohoo! Order na while you still have time!

 Price starts at Php1980

Home Spun Ph

I discovered Home Spun in OLX during Y's birthday. They are also in Instagram (@homespun_ph). I wasn't able to buy but I kept it on my notes just in case I decided to buy. Home Spun's price points are more budget-friendly.

Elsa's Coronation Apron Set Php950

  

Anna's Coronation Apron Php950

 Left:  Elsa Apron Php595 + Cape (optional) Php150

Right: Anna Apron Php595  + Cape (optional) Php150

The Little Bugger
One day I stumbled upon The Little Bugger's IG (@thelittlebugger) and I loved loved every minute browsing thru their IG account. It made me want to buy every Elsa dress she has.   Every little girl would squeal with delight! And the good thing is they have a physical store (3rd Level, Greenhills Shoppesville Mall) and you can go and try out each and every gown. You can also order online and ask your questions thru Viber.

Diba? It's hard to choose? Price starts at Php1550

Alex & Alexa Kids Boutique
I also found out about Alex & Alexa on OLX and Ebay.ph. They sell similar costumes as The Little Bugger. They also have a physical store in Alabang Zapote Road, Las Pinas City but also accepts online orders. You can also check their IG @shopalexandalexa!

I also saw Elsa and Anna costumes in SM.  Each costs Php1,349. But sizes are limited! There's no size for Y anymore. And I don't really like the material. Same as the one I saw in 168. And this is how this post was born. Hehehe!

 

Or if you're a great sewer and can do DIY, try this link I saw in Pinterest! If only I had time, I would definitely TRY and DIY. And I'm sure there's more in Pinterest!

I hope this post helps you with finding the perfect Frozen dresses for your little girls and for my little girl too! Oh Frozen, it's been a year and you're still frozen in our little girls' heart.

A Happy Meal With Melawares

Are you kids picky eaters? Y is and every meal time is a challenge especially when she doesn't like the ulam and or it's veggies! We've tried a lot of tricks in making her eat and one of those tricks was using different plates with characters that she likes.

Melawares, one of the most trusted brands of tableware, with 30 years of experience in designing and producing quality and outstanding tablewares for our home, office and commercial food service establishments. Aminin niyo, lahat tayo may Melawares sa bahay! I think every Filipino household has Melawares in their kitchen!

Nice plates that goes a long way!

Melawares has launched its kids' line to help make mealtimes more fun and enjoyable for kids! They have teamed up with Disney for its line of kids' tableware. Its latest design is inspired by the latest Disney craze, Frozen. Y was so excited when she saw Elsa, Anna, Kristoff and Olaf on the plate, bowl and cup!

They also have Cars, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, and Disney Princesses collection for their kids' lines! R wanted to open and use his Cars set of tableware! Heehee! Melawares truly make mealtimes more exciting for kids.

Y will love the Disney Princesses when she sees it! Mickey Mouse naman for the boys!

And few weeks back, during an event at Life Science (another blog entry for that!), our lunch was served in pretty Melawares! I actually didn't know that they have such pretty plates! Pwedeng pang tea party! And when I was at a department store, I saw these super dainty plates! This can seriously add to my current plate addiction haha! And no need to worry about them breaking!

Saw this in Robinsons Department Stores
