Soyami Snacking Without the Guilt Blog Contest Awarding happened last January 25, 2012 at Tourne, The Fort Strip.

The event was hosted by Marc Nelson. There were other speakers including Chef Sandra Hataway of Tourne, a nutritionist from Fitness First, Q-Life Face One, Fruit Magic, Haribon Foundation, Suncoast Lightwater and Vit Boost, Fernbelly Treehugger and Rudy Project from which I won a usb, yey!

Below was the food prepared by Tourne which incorporated Soyami chips.

Here was my blog entry which unfortunately didn’t make it to the top three which coincidentally will be what the next blog contest will be about, healthy recipes with Soyami chips.

I went home early after the event and didn’t line up for the other freebies they gave away because I still have conferencing services to attend to. It was nice to catch up with a friend who sat beside me during this event 🙂

Ipanema recently opened a branch called Sandalias in SM Lucena

Ipanema is a fashionable and hip Brazilian flip-flop brand. The store features the latest collection from last year’s Philippine Fashion Week alongside Ipanema Women’s and Men’s Collection, Kids line as well as Gisele Bundchen collection.

It’s nice to find something for the family members in specialty stores like Sandalias, especially with summer just a few months away.

I’m sure husbands and children will enjoy browsing their own flip flops in this store after accompanying mom who shopped for porcelain switch plates.

The “SANDALIAS” store exclusively selling Ipanema flip flops is located at the ground floor of SM City Lucena.

Road trips are enjoyable. Whenever we have the chance to go on one, we savor the experience like it is our first road trip.

How to prepare for a road trip with children in tow?

• bring plenty of food that won’t spill nor make the tummies feel queasy
• bring lots of water in containers where one can easily drink from with minimum or no spillage
• dress appropriately
• check your vehicle and make sure you won’t be needing roadside assistance plans in a remote area where buildings/homes are few and far in between
• make sure all mobile phones are charged and/or bring chargers that you can use while in transit

I am sure there are a lot more tips that make sense when traveling with children. But one thing for sure, road trips are memorable experiences 🙂

FYI: photo was retouched to enhance the colors, difficult to take road photos at dusk when in mobile with a small camera 🙂
