Truly, with reliable and convenient on-demand delivery services like GrabFood and GrabMart, gifts no longer come with the usual long queues, heavy traffic, and aisle-to-aisle exploration in-store.

May is upon us again, which only means that the spotlight shines extra bright once more for our moms as we celebrate Mother’s Day. If you’re thinking of the right surprise to give to the number one lady in your life, then we’re here to give you a clue. It starts with an A and ends with an R. It’s a kitchen favorite, one that will help our number one chef flex her amazing cooking skills.

It’s Air Fryers! At least according to the latest data from OnBuy which has reported a big surge of sales on this nifty appliance weeks before the annual celebration of Mother’s Day. This kitchen must-have has boomed in popularity in the last couple of years and for good reasons. In this article, we’ll walk you through all its benefits by putting the focus on one of the most powerful models in the market: The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer. Below are all the reasons why you should #BringBrevilleHome.

1. Air frying is a better alternative to traditional deep frying.

When you deep fry, oil is heated into high amounts that can lead to increased concentrations of inflammatory compounds that are absorbed by the food. With air frying, you minimize the use of oil or can even entirely remove it. The way it works is that it uses convection heat to cook food, similar to the way a fan oven works.

2. It can help you cook healthier versions of your favorite fried dishes.

Regular consumption of deep-fried food has been known to be correlated to the development of chronic ailments like cardiovascular disease. The use of convection heat to fry can create the same crispy exterior that we all love so much from our favorite fried treats. The result is healthier versions of meals with lower saturated fat that are better for our diets.

3. It’s versatile!

The versatility of this kitchen partner is something all cooking aficionados will definitely appreciate. The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer is a perfect example of this. On top of having a dedicated air frying setting, this unit from the premium home lifestyle brand comes with nine other cooking functions which include toast, roast, bake, crumpet, and even pizza. It’s like having 10 appliances, all in one powerful model.

4. It’s perfect for busy bees.

Talking about power, the Smart Oven Air Fryer is also ideal for anyone who wants to be efficient with cooking. Its dual-speed convection feature reduces cooking time by 30 percent which is perfect for all busy moms out there.

5. It’s very user-friendly.

Air frying food is a no-brainer because you can easily pick settings for your recipe. The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer takes this a notch higher with its Element IQ System which has a smart algorithm that creates the ideal cooking environment for a range of different cooking techniques. Forget about cold, uneven spots and ideal rack positions. This air fryer does it all for you and more, regardless of your cooking skills.

This Mother’s Day, give the gift of innovation to the special woman in your life by turning their dream kitchen into a reality. We already know that our moms are geniuses when it comes to creating meals that we love, but it doesn’t hurt to bring home an equally smart partner that can help them make even more cooking wonders. If you’re into it, you can even go the extra mile and take a crack at cooking by bonding with her to make your own Mother’s Day feast.

It’s time to #BringBrevilleHome this Mother’s Day. Want to know more about the Smart Oven Air Fryer? Visit their website to get the full deets about this appliance. Don’t forget to also follow their official Facebook and Instagram to get updated on their other releases.

It’s the time of the year again where we celebrate the superwomen of our lives – the one day that’s all about her. Mother’s Day is just around the corner and it is best to plan this special occasion ahead. If you still don’t have a present in mind, it is always a good idea to give her a day of pampering and relaxation.

For all the sacrifices and hard work they have done, moms deserve nothing but the best so treat her to a well-deserved staycation in the heart of Manila on Mother’s Day. For only P6,000 nett per night, Rizal Park Hotel offers an overnight stay in a deluxe room with breakfast in bed for (2) two. Best of all, mom gets to enjoy a (1) hour massage at the hotel’s spa. This Mother’s Day room promo is available for booking from April 27 to May 13, 2023 with stay periods from May 12 to May 15, 2023.

You can always choose to celebrate this special day with your loved ones. Gather the whole family and treat mom to a delicious lunch or dinner at Café Rizal or Imperial Court. With a warm and inviting atmosphere, the hotel’s restaurants are perfect for a memorable family gathering.

Ever wonder how Marian juggles multiple roles in life and still makes time to be a doting mom and wife? The Shopee brand ambassador opens up about motherhood in time for Mother’s Day.

Marian prioritizes being a mom above all else

Marian wears many hats as an A-list actress, thriving entrepreneur, and hands-on wife and mother. Despite this, she ensures that she never gets too busy for family. She still dedicates most of her time at home, bonding with her kids and taking care of the household needs. “Alam mo dapat kung kailan ka need ng mga anak mo, ng asawa mo, [You should know when your family needs you] because at the end of the day, family should always come first.” At the end of the day, being a mom is Marian’s most important role in life and her children are her number one fans. Raising her kids to be kind, responsible, and compassionate people is the biggest goal she’s striving to achieve.

Marian rises to the challenges of motherhood

Marian acknowledges the difficulties that come with being a mom, and these have been amplified even more over the pandemic. It’s been tough for her kids who are both at the age of exploration and want to understand what’s happening outside their home. The Shopee superstar shares, “We had to talk to them and explain that there are a lot of changes and limitations because of this pandemic, but still reassured them that things would get better.” With the situation easing up in the last few months, Marian and Dingdong are happy to finally be able to have their kids go out more, meet their loved ones, and travel as a family.

Marian encourages moms to make the most of Shopee’s convenience and variety

Shopee has been Marian’s go-to for her family’s needs and home budols these last few years. She admits to being an impulsive, but happy shopper, adding to cart and checking out all sorts of items that spruce up different parts of her home. “Minsan talaga wala ka nang time na lumabas at mamili para sa sarili or sa pamilya mo kahit gustuhin mo [sometimes we don’t have time to go out and shop for ourselves or for the family even if we want to]. Shopee is very reliable and convenient because with just a few clicks, you get to shop for anything you need and want, all in one place,” says Marian.

Celebrate Mother’s Day with Marian’s top gifts for moms

Shopee mom Marian reminds all mommies to take care of themselves, because they definitely deserve it.

In a heartfelt tribute to mothers ahead of Mother’s Day on Sunday, actor Dingdong Dantes declared that he would vote for one in the upcoming elections on May 9.

“Sa inyo po ang aking buong pagpupugay ... ang aking paghanga, ang aking serbisyo, ang aking boto,” Dingdong said in a video message where he expressed love and admiration for his mother.

“Tulad ninyong lahat, mahal ko ang Nanay ko. Pero hindi ko lubos matukoy kung bakit, hanggang masaksihan ko mismo sa asawa ko,” he said.

In the video, Dingdong enumerated the virtues of a good mother, from protecting their children from any harm and putting their welfare ahead of herself.

“Kaytapang talaga ng mga Nanay. Handang makipaglaban, iharang sa peligro ang sariling katawan, makipagsapalaran, ipagpaliban ang sariling kapakanan. Walang aatrasan. Walang hamong sinusukuan. Ibang klaseng magmahal. Radikal!” he said.

He also called mothers as “miracle workers” for their ability to make ends meet despite having a meager budget.

“Lahat ng sakit, naiinda. Pagkaing isusubo na lang, ibibigay pa sa mga anak niya. Prayoridad niyang umangat ang buhay ng mga mahal niya,” Dingdong said.

While mothers are considered the “light of the house”, Dingdong said they also deserved to be called “pillar of the house” for doing more than they can for their family.

“Inspirasyon namin siya para patuloy na maging mabuti at gumawa ng mabuti. Kaya buung-buo kong itataya sa pangangalaga niya ang mga pangarap ko para sa aking mga anak, para sa aming pamilya.” Dingdong explained.

“Sana lahat tayo, ipagdiwang pang lalo ang mga ina. Dahil alam nating lahat na totoong dakila sila,” he added.

When was the last time you told your Mom you love her? That you appreciate her for all the times she stayed up late when you were sick or when you had to review for all your tests? How she covered your notebooks, neatly labeling your name or how she simply combed your hair? This Mother’s Day, Lactum asks each of us to tell our mom how much she means to us;  how we appreciate all the sacrifices she tries to hide from us; and, how seeing her happy is what also makes us happy.

This is the essence of Lactum’s Mother’s Day video #KungAlamMoLangMa. While moms love and care for their children completely and unconditionally, many still feel that they are missing out because they don’t spend as much time as they want with their kids. More than that, many moms feel that the struggles they go through each day just to make sure the kids are fed well, have clean clothes to wear or do their homework are hardly noticed. But as #KungAlamMoLangMa would show and prove: their children actually are aware of their mom’s feelings and are thankful for the sacrifices she makes.

Moms do what they do because of love. When children grow up happy and healthy and do well at home and in school, mothers feel fulfilled and validated that she has done right. A perfect example for this is when  moms ensure that their kids grow up with all-around development by providing positive stimulation and proper nutrition that includes Vitaminized Lactum 3+ which has 5x more DHA and 50% Less Sucrose (Sugar) versus its previous formulation. DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid which supports brain development during early childhood. Vitaminized Lactum 3+ also has nutrients that help promote bone growth and help strengthen the body’s immune system.

By providing their child with the proper nutrition for optimum all-around development plus important nutrients contained in every glass of Lactum, moms express the love they have for their kids.

But while a mother’s love is instinctive and unwavering, no other person can feel unappreciated more than a mother. While many children say “I love you” to their moms, these  simple words are uttered less and less as they grow up.

This Mother’s Day,  Lactum encourages all sons and daughters to express their thoughts and feelings to their moms and draw inspiration from their heart-warming video #KungAlamMoLangMa.  The video seeks to counter any doubts that moms may have about themselves or the things they do. It honors moms by telling them the truth: that their children know and understand that mothers only want what’s best for them. More than that, it also shows moms that to see them smile and happy is just as important to their kids.

Lactum invites everyone to watch the #KungAlamMoLangMa video via this link https://youtu.be/9Ro2dG_jfWA. Also check out how Lactum mom Camille Prats showed appreciation for her mom in her post here: https://www.facebook.com/IAmCamillePrats/posts/524158459077826 and tell her how you feel. Lactum believes it is time to show moms that they are loved and appreciated not just on Mother’s Day but every day because nobody deserves a child’s love and appreciation more than a mom.
