VitaPops

Have your children tried VitaPops yet?

VitaPops

Now here is newer and better way to get the children to load up on vitamin C to protect themselves from illnesses.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here are some FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS about VITAPOPS, from the makers of Ceelin:

1. What is VitaPops?

VitaPops is the first & only Vitamin C in pop rocks format in the market that guarantees full protection while ensuring that kids enjoy the experience of taking it:

Vitamin C: protection from sickness
Pop Rocks Format: fizzles and pops inside the mouth for an enjoyable experience

2. How is it packaged?
VitaPops is contained in single-dose sachet packaging so there’s no need to worry about spillage or breakage of bottles. It’s very handy and convenient to bring anywhere.

3. How much is it?
Each sachet costs P10.

4. When will it be available in the market?
It is already available in all leading drugstores nationwide.

5. Is VitaPops sweet like candy?
VitaPops contains just the right amount of sweetness so that kids will enjoy its taste. The best part about its sugar content is that it only contains 1/5 the sugar level found in regular vitamins, which reduces the risk of tooth decay.

6. Is VitaPops strictly for 7 to 12 years old only?
Children as young as four years old can already take and enjoy VitaPops.

7. How often should kids take VitaPops?
Children can take 1-2 sachets per day or as directed by a pediatrician.

8. Can my kids get overdosed with VitaPops?
No, Vitamin C is water-soluble so any excessive intake will just be excreted through the urine.

9. How is it different from Ceelin Chewables?
We know the challenge of dealing with 7-12 year olds, we understand the need of moms to continue protecting their kids from sickness and keeping them healthy without the difficulty of giving vitamins/healthy food. We need to reward kids just to take what’s good for them. Finally, we have exactly what we need with with Ceelin Chewables as well as VitaPops — available in fun format options, which guarantee full protection. Both are yummy and healthy for kids and are in formats that they love: chewable and pop rocks.

10. Vitamin C in VitaPops comes in which form?
VitaPops is in a non-acidic Sodium Ascorbate formulation. It doesn’t cause stomach irritation even if it is consumed on an empty stomach.

11. What is the shelf life of VitaPops? Because it’s made of granules, don’t they get sticky and solidify after sometime?
VitaPops is best consumed within 2 years from when it was produced. Solidification happens when the product is exposed to humidity and moisture. To prevent this from happening, we recommend keeping VitaPops in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

12. What makes VitaPops pop? Is that safe?
VitaPops is safe to take and is FDA-approved. It pops because when the granules that contain Carbon Dioxide come in contact with moisture, it dissolves and the gas escapes quickly producing a fizzing and popping sound.

13. Why should I give VitaPops to my children? Why should I trust this new product?
Aside from being a vitamin that boosts immunity and that kids enjoy due to its unique and fun formulation, VitaPops comes from the makers of Ceelin, the country’s leading brand of Vitamin C from Unilab. You are assured of affordable, quality healthcare.

14. Can my kids get allergies from VitaPops?
VitaPops is generally safe and does not cause any allergies. But it is still best to consult with your pediatrician.

15. How much Vitamin C can my child get from VitaPops? How does it compare to vegetables, fruits and milk?
1 VitaPops sachet contains 50 mg of Vitamin C and is equivalent to 5 glasses of milk / 28 pieces of calamansi / 1 ½ glasses of freshly squeezed orange.

16. Could vegetables, fruits and milk rich in Vitamin C give my child the necessary amount to ensure full immunity?
While these may be healthy for your kids, there may not be enough Vitamin C to satisfy the recommended daily intake of 35 mg for 7-9 yrs old and 45 mg for 10-12 yrs old. For example, for every 100g serving of fresh squash only 9 mg of Vitamin C can be provided; 100g of Cabbage at 36.6 mg of Vitamin C; Tomato at 13 mg. For milk, every 250 mL serving only has around 2.6 mg of Vitamin C. It would still be recommended for your kids to take Vitamin C supplements for full Vitamin C protection.

VitaPops is a product of Unilab.

TipTap Soft Soles Shoes

My kids are no longer babies and for that I heave a sigh of relief as I am free of several responsibilities so Yey! for that. If there are some things though that make me miss those times when they were still babies, that would be about getting cute outfits (lol), trying more organic food offerings, and doing cloth diapering. But I digress because I will stay focus on the cute outfits, specifically the shoes.

When TipTap Soft Soles Shoes launched its 2012 Collection, I couldn’t help but gush, gush and gush some more! The shoes are awesome and how I really wish that my kids were able to have these when they were much, much younger.

Here are some of the TipTap Soft Soles Shoes 2012 Collection I took photos of during the 2012 Collection Launch:

Roses and Candles

Roses and candles as a table setting is something that sounds and looks just right.

candle and roses

This crappy photo was taken during a family friend’s youngest son’s baptismal gathering. I love how the ambience looked classic and lovely. The details are just wonderful!

This made me look for online photos of scented candles (never mind if I have allergies, lol) and among the sites I saw, diptyque piqued my interest.

Why?

In the past I wanted to have a scented candles business 🙂 I can still have it now, if I spend time on it, right?

New Speakers

Music is the “universal language of the soul”. So people say.

There’s music in the sighing of a reed;
There’s music in the gushing of a rill;
There’s music in all things, if men had ears:
Their earth is but an echo of the spheres.

~Lord Byron

This household of ours love music. Just recently the husband got a pair of new kickass speakers for the bedroom. Music plays from the speakers day in and day out. The husband who is fond of music from Jim Chappell and David Benoit can now listen to their compositions to his hearts delight. I also listen to my playlist or use the speakers to watch videos playing on my tablet 😀

Here is a Jim Chappell video for “Gone”, one of the husband’s favorite.

Sometimes it feels like we have a live piano player playing from a p 155 guitar center room at home. It’s all good and I can’t complain.
