Savoring Me Time With Pine-Sol®!

I first knew about Pine-Sol through my mom who's very OC about everything. My parents would buy gallons and gallons of Pine-Sol from S&R and I would always find it funny. Heehee! But seriously, I haven't always liked the smell of the competing brand's lemon scent, masakit sa ilong, and it's one of the reasons why I wasn't using any cleaners in my kitchen or bathroom, just plain soap. Then one day my mom gave me a bottle of Pine-Sol to try and it changed my life. May ganong drama? Heehee!

This package came to my doorstep about a month ago! So much Pine-Sol goodness! I didn't know they have other variants. I am very excited to try the other variants especially Lavender.

Along with the bottles of Pine-sol was an invitation to spend a morning of health and wellness at Sofitel Manila. It was my first time to do yoga and I was nervous because it has been awhile since I did some exercise but I was also excited to try something new!

I came straight from taking Y to school. We all met at the Le Spa where we had a change of workout clothes then went straight to So Fit.

Before we began our yoga class, Tisha De Veyra, Director of Marketing for Clorox International Philippines Inc., welcomed us to our morning of health and wellness. I can feel that everybody in the room that morning was happy to break away from their daily routine and just spend time with fellow mommas.

Then Tisha asked us what do we do for our me time.

My me time is my sanity check. I don't get to have a lot of me times nowadays but I make the most out of it with short trips to the grocery, spending time (just like the Mothers Who Brunch last month) and eating out with friends or the 3 hours I spent in school everyday while waiting for Y and I really really savor my me-time!

Our Yoga Instructor was Joanne Santos. Teacher Jojo has been practicing yoga for more than 10 years. She started doing yoga as a way to lose her pregnancy weight.

  Ako kaya kelan papayat? Heehee! Most of us were beginners (and anxious at the same time haha) and assured us we won't be doing any complicated poses but only basic yoga.

 Stretch pa more.

I must say I really enjoyed the yoga class, reminds me very much of the warm-up exercises we do in my dance class in college. I can't say the same in terms of my flexibility. Haha! My muscles and joints are tight na. But I didn't feel any immediate pain after. Heck! I didn't even sweat. But lo and behold the next day, my leg muscles hurt! And I have to climb up and down four flight of stairs because we live on the 4th floor! Ouch!

But look how refreshed and recharged we looked. Bagay ang yoga sa atin. Haha! Thank you Pine-sol for our yoga me-time! It was one of the most quiet hour I have spent with myself. Namaste!

After our class, it was time for lunch! We went back to Le Spa to freshen up, had change of clothes, and fix ourselves then went to one of Sofitel's function room for lunch and to talk more about Pine-Sol.

Renelle Revilla Delos Santos, Brand Manager for Pine-Sol, told us more about the brand, its history and the many ways how we can use Pine-Sol in our homes.

Pine-Sol was created by chemist Harry A. Cole. He long knew that pine oil was a natural disinfectant and deodorizer. One day he decided to roll up his sleeves and created Pine-Sol® Brand Cleaner! The brand was later acquired by the Clorox Company in 1990. Today, Pine-Sol® All Purpose Cleaner comes in five scents: Original, Lemon Fresh, Orange Energy, Lavender Clean® and Sparkling Wave®.

For so long, I only thought Pine-Sol can only be used for cleaning the bathroom. Well, that's how we've been using it. Haha! Cai, kaya nga All Purpose Cleaner eh. Toink! So I was so amazed on the many ways on how we can Pine-Sol® in our homes! I'm sharing with you some of the How-Tos we can use Pine-Sol®! Just click on the photo to enlarge!

 

 

With Pine-Sol®, you don't need to buy separate cleaners for your furniture, floor, appliances, and counters. Pine-Sol® can fight dirt, germs, grime and greases, and deodorizes all of these surfaces. Talk about value for money, right?  Did you know (for general cleaning), a 500ml bottle gives you 8.3 gallons or 33 liters of cleaning power! Just add water and save! Ang galing diba? I am going to copy and Didi and put them in atomizers and put them in every room of the house! Easy, practical, and budget-friendly!

While having our healthy meal, talks about beauty, nutrition, and wellness were given by Nutritionist Agnes Tumaneng, RND and Dr. Jade Cada, Aesthetic Doctor at Vietura. We have to take care of ourselves so we can also take good care of our family too, right?

We had this super yummy lunch to go with the talks.

 Thank you Pine-Sol® for our pamper day! We all deserve it!

Each of us took home a tote bag with a bag tag with our initials and I loved everything inside: more Pine-Sol®, Aquazorb Towel, Klean Kanteen, notepad, and a Vietura GC! Thank you so so much Mish and Patty for inviting me!

Lysol To Go for Moms on the Go

When a mom packs her bag, expect it to be heavy because she brings her whole house in it. Diba? Aminin mo?! I would always complain to BOS about my shoulder and he would say "bawasan mo kasi laman ng bag mo" or "kelangan mo ba talaga lahat ng nasa bag mo?" but even if I unpack and repack my bag, there are some things I couldn't leave at home and I would always answer him with "what if Y or R needs something from my bag and I don't left it at home?" So in the end, my bag would still be heavy but I am confident that when my kids need something from me, I would always have it! My little pouch would always include a pack of wipes, alcohol, and a few medicine. 

Last week along with other moms, I was introduced to the new Lysol To Go Disinfectant Spray and Lysol Germ Protection Hand Wipes with a special Mother's Day treat from Lysol! We were asked to be at Farmacy in BGC by 4PM because a surprise was waiting for us!

I got my boarding pass and ready to go but while waiting...

 ...I had a mini snack of Vietnamese Latte and Chicken Salad while chatting with Didi and...

...while Jackie having this yummy-looking burger!

 Here's us: Didi, Jackie and Me before our orders arrived! (Photo from Jackie)

And at around 4PM, a handsome black limousine, The Black Fleet, rolled in front of Farmacy and it was time to board! Huwaw! It was my first time to ride a limousine of any kind! Naaliw ang mga nanay. Heehee!

This is a bad photo of what the limousine looks like inside. I'm still waiting for the official photos then I'll share it here!

Party limousine for the on-the-go moms! Decked with balloons, buntings, chips, munchies and candies, we were ready to roll! (Photo from Jackie)

As the road cruise around BGC started, we had ice breakers, shared tips, and exchanged stories on how we are preparing for the new school year and after all the chikahan, Lysol To Go Disinfectant Spray was finally introduced to us.

Lysol is one of my mom's trusted brands and now it is also mine. Lysol is also the brand most recommended by U.S. Pediatricians. It kills 99.9% of viruses and bacteria when used as directed. 

The new Lysol To Go Disinfectant Spray is perfect for us moms who are always on-the-go! It's compact and it's in travel-size that fits easily in our bagor  diaper bag. And now that it's back to school and the bagyo season upon us, colds, cough, and flu would be uso again and I want to protect my kids from all these viruses and bacteria so I made sure Y's school bag has a Lysol To Go Disinfectant Spray in it!

Lysol also recently launched its Germ Protection Hand Wipes. You may think "Lysol sa kamay? Hindi ba harsh?" but it is actually perfectly gentle on the skin. It can moisturize the face and body and you can even use it as feminine wipes! It is also gentle enough for kids because it's clinically proven that it is as mild as the leading baby wash! They both come in on-the-go sizes so it's easy to spray and wipe away our health worries anytime, anywhere!

I am a Hot Mom! Dahil ang init sa pwesto namin sa limousine! Heehee! Literal na hot! But kidding aside, I am a chill but protective mom. I let my kids be what they want to be (with limitations of course) but when it comes to their health and welfare, I will their number one protector.

Our road adventure ended at 2nd's Restaurant!. This was my 2nd time at 2nd's heehee!

Thank you Lysol for this Mother's Day treat! We really needed this day off! Each mom was treated with a bouquet of flowers followed by a sumptuous dinner.

Adobo Croquetas

Bacon Chicharon, yes you read that right!

Mini Buffalo Pops

Three Little Pigs Kawali

Cornflake Fried Chicken

Frozen Hazelnut Cheesecake

Thank you Lysol for inviting me and for this lovely afternoon to dinner treat for the mommas. It was nice to spend time with the other moms without the kids. Heehee! Now I always have a Lysol To Go Disinfectant Spray and Germ Protection Wipes in my and I bring it every time, everywhere!

The Lysol Germ Protection Wipes smells so good! And the Lysol To Go Disinfectant Spray comes in 28g/1 oz sizes and is in Crisp Linen variant only. It retails for Php150 (SRP) only!

Also received this in the mail a week before this on-the-go event! The Lysol Neutra Air cleans and clears the air of odor-causing bacteria. With all these Lysol products (I also use the Lysol Hand Wash and Disinfectant Spray for Baby's Room) I have at home, I am now more assured that my home and family are germ-free!

A Healthy Home with Lysol's Hand Soap And Disinfectant Spray for the Baby's Room

When I became a mom, I think my being OC and meticulous went overdrive! Everything needs to be clean, squeaky clean! We get paranoid and worry a lot when our kids get sick. and And I know lots of mom can relate to this.

Last week, I was invited to the press launch of Lysol's newest products and Healthy Home Campaign.

Lysol is the worldwide leader in surface care and is the leading disinfectant brand in the Philippines. Something new I learned that afternoon was cleaning is just the first step. Second step is making your home a healthy one. Lysol believes that this is something greater than cleaning. With a healthy home cleaned with Lysol, you are sure that the germs are gone!

Lysol kills 99.9%  of known germs on surfaces, hands and air inside your home

With this, Lysol launches two new house friendly cleaners, Lysol Disinfectant Spray for Baby's Room and Lysol Liquid Hand Soap.

Brand new products!

Lysol believes that our kids' room should be the safest place for our kids. It's where our kids stay for a really long time and we don't want germs playing with our little one.

Lysol's Disinfectant Spray for Baby's Room removes the source of odor causing bacteria, freshens air and safe for use on baby's stuff like toys, cribs, strollers, potties, high chairs, etc. It is baby friendly because of its soft and cool powdery smell

Cleaning the kids' toys is a task but also therapeutic! Heehee! I know some of you can also relate to this! I'm excited to use this new product!

The second new product is Lysol's first, Lysol's  Liquid Hand Soap! Lysol is a brand we trust when it comes to cleaning and disinfecting, then there's no doubt it is alright to use it to wash our hands.

Lysol's newest product! It also comes in Fresh and Skincare variant.

Y likes washing her hands. That's good right? We teach her the importance of handwashing. We don't know where their little hands went or touched and by teaching them, we are preventing our kids from getting sick.

Washing with liquid soaps is more hygienic way of washing our hands because every pump from the bottle is fresh and clean!

My take away from this event is that cleaning is only just the first step, we make a healthy home by using Lysol!
