4 best parenting hacks you should try

 The 4 best parenting hacks you should try

Try these tips for better parenting in the new normal

A group of people sitting at a table with food on it

 

Whether we’re ready for it or not, parenting definitely changed during the pandemic. As everyone has to work or take classes at home for their health and safety, the needs of a parent have evolved.


If you’ve been struggling a little to match the demands of parenting in the new normal, worry not—here are a few tips to help you adapt to these times.


1. Set a schedule

Make a plan for yourself and help your kids plan their day. First, organize your day so you can focus better on your necessary tasks. Then, help your kids organize their day so that the important things during their online classes are prioritized. This will allow them to look forward to relaxing and unwinding after all the schoolwork is done. When kids know they have some rest and recreation time to look forward to, they’ll be able to participate better in their remote learning.


2. Encourage healthy routines in the household

Maintaining a proper and healthy lifestyle is considered to be one of the most important things you can do to achieve good physical, mental, and social well-being — especially in the new normal. A fun activity you can do with your kids is exercising regularly. To make it more interesting, instead of the usual exercises, try exploring games that’ll make them break a sweat such as DIY obstacle courses, treasure hunts, and many more. Be creative!


3. Take a midday shower

One good way to refresh your kids and keep them going is to have them take a quick shower in the middle of the day, preferably after lunch. You can do it too! It gets rid of the midday fatigue that’s built up from staring at a screen all morning, and it will energize them (and you) for the rest of the day.


4. Bond over activities and food

There are many moments in this pandemic where your kids will need you to be there for them. You need to set aside time in the day to give them your complete and undivided attention. Try playing fun activities and games with your kids and see how much stress can be lifted every day. Bond over mealtimes with food that will make them happy, such as Jollibee’s Jolly Spaghetti! The meatiest, cheesiest, and sweet-sarap na walang katulad taste of Jolly Spaghetti will make these moments truly memorable! It’s always better to put a smile on their face with their favorite food while spending time at home.


Get the Jolly Spaghetti from your nearest Jollibee store for only PHP 50.00 solo, and PHP 200.00 for a Family Pan! Have them safely delivered to you via the Jollibee Delivery App, JollibeeDelivery.com, #87000, GrabFood, and foodpanda! Also available in Drive-Thru and Take Out!

Year one of plastic neutrality: Nestlé PH recovers 27,000 tons of waste

Nestlé Philippines has achieved a fresh milestone in tackling plastic waste as it completes its first year of plastic neutrality, the first multinational fast-moving consumer goods company in the country to do so. 

Year one of plastic neutrality: Nestlé PH recovers 27,000 tons of waste

Since August 2020, the company has collected, co-processed, and diverted from the environment over 27,000 metric tons of plastic waste, slightly above the volume of used plastic in the packaging that it has put out in the market over the past year. 

Nestlé Philippines partners with various organizations to achieve and sustain Plastic Neutrality. Following its first year of being plastic neutral, it believes that it can do more by working together with its employees, consumers and other stakeholders.
 
The milestone comes as Nestlé Philippines marks its 110th year in the country, determined to intensify its initiatives towards a waste-free future, with a commitment to make its packaging, including plastics, 100% recyclable or reusable by 2025. Additionally, it commits to reduce a third of virgin plastic use within the same time frame. More specifically, Nestlé Philippines will reduce its use of virgin plastics by 1,100 metric tons in 2021 and is continuously looking for more sustainable packaging through its research centers globally.

The Philippines is the third-largest source of ocean plastic worldwide. Nestlé continues to accelerate its initiatives to address plastic waste holistically in the country across three focus areas: (1) developing the packaging for the future, through packaging and delivery innovation and plastic reduction; (2) helping to shape a waste-free future through increased collection and recycling; and (3) driving new behaviors and understanding through solid waste management education.

"As a food and beverage manufacturer with a major presence in the country, we are called upon to be at the forefront in confronting urgent issues that our planet faces. Our vision, which we are working hard to realize, is that none of our packaging, including plastics, ends up in landfills, in oceans, seas, and rivers. A few years ago, we identified plastic neutrality as a major step forward for us as a company and it is our most important environmental milestone to date. The way has been full of challenges, requiring significant investments and a learning curve as we acquired experience. But we have demonstrated that it can be done, and it is viable. We are grateful to our partners including Republic Cement, CEMEX Holdings Philippines, and Plastic Credit Exchange for enabling us to become plastic neutral," said Nestlé Philippines Chairman and CEO Kais Marzouki.

With its partners, Nestlé Philippines is collecting plastic waste from local government units and communities in different parts of the country. The waste is co-processed in cement kilns, a waste management method by which waste materials are processed at a very high temperature. This breaks down complex materials into simpler compounds and the energy or mineral content of wastes are completely recovered and utilized in the process of producing cement. Emissions from the process are filtered and monitored in compliance with standards of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

Looking to the future, Mr. Marzouki said the company is advocating the passage of legislation that will put in place an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme for plastic waste. EPR is a comprehensive policy approach in which a manufacturer's or importer's responsibility for a product is extended to the post-consumption stage of its life cycle.
 
Nestlé also co-developed solid waste management modules for schools and also created condensed materials for teens and parents which have been endorsed by the National Solid Waste Management Commission

To do more together, Nestlé Philippines is encouraging consumers to become a Kasambuhay for the Environment. They can start by visiting Nes.tl/KasambuhayForTheEnvironment where they can access solid waste management modules developed for parents and teens, and learn about the waste cycle, proper segregation, recycling, and more. The website also lists locations where they can drop off their plastic waste for recycling, including Nestlé-sponsored collection points at SM Mall of Asia, SM North Edsa, and SM Fairview, among other sites. 

To further its commitment to the planet, Nestlé launched the Isabuhay sa Bahay challenge which aims to encourage its 5,000 strong employees how to live a more sustainable lifestyle for the good of the planet

"At Nestlé Philippines, we are deeply committed to attaining our environmental goals, consistent with our vision of a waste-free future. As we have been in the Philippines for 110 years, we want to leave a legacy, anchored on our respect for the future and coming generations, that includes effectively caring for the planet," Mr. Marzouki said.

4 things to keep in mind when online shopping for appliances

Buying appliances online from official stores ensures you get authentic products, warranty, and reliable after-sales service.

 

4 things to keep in mind when online shopping for appliances

Shopping for appliances online can be very exciting, with so many choices and brands that you can buy with just a swipe of your finger. But before you start adding to your cart, do your research and familiarize yourself with the features that are now available, as well as the after-sales benefits you might need.

 

Shopping online is not the same as shopping in an appliance store where a salesperson is on hand to demonstrate how to operate the product or answer your questions. So, to guide you in shopping for appliances online, Midea, the world’s largest manufacturer of home appliances offers some tips to make sure you get the best value for your money.

 

Buy only from legit stores. Shopping online is very convenient, but sometimes it can be challenging to know if the website you’re visiting is legitimate. The best way to ensure you’re buying from a reliable source is to purchase items from the flagship stores on e-commerce sites. Check out the Midea Philippinesofficial stores in Shopee and Lazada that are guaranteed to be 100% authentic. Make sure to look for the blue badge or blue check beside their store name that you can verify on both apps. You can also check out mideaph.com for the complete lineup of appliances and seasonal deals and promos.

 

Check the product’s electrical frequency. This is an important consideration not many know about. When ordering appliances online, especially if it’s imported, occasionally, you will find appliances that run at 100-127 volts at 50 Hz that tends to run slower compared to local appliances which operate at 220-240 volts at 60 Hz. You might think that this is okay just because the appliance operates when you turned it on, but what you don’t know is that running an appliance using a voltage or frequency that's not designed for it can be dangerous. There is the risk of burning, fire, or even explosion. So always check the product specifications before you purchase or chat with a customer service officer if you are not sure.

 

After-sales service and warranty. Authorized physical and online stores generally offer standard product warranty on parts, often with conditions. Always check what is covered under the warranty if your appliance is damaged, as well as the warranty period. It’s also useful to check the location of service centers so you know how far you need to travel in case the appliance malfunctions. Again, reach out to a customer service officer and don’t hesitate to ask these important questions to make sure you get the best after-sales service – email their customer support at customercare@midea.com.ph or call their Toll-Free Number 1-880-10-863-5522, Landline (02) 8863 55 22, or contact them through Viber/SMS (0917) 863 5522.

 

Collect discounts or free shipping vouchers. Who doesn’t love promos and discounts, right? Especially if you’re on a tight budget, discounts and vouchers will save your day! In case you’re not aware, flagship stores give out discounts or free shipping vouchers from time to time. Using these discount vouchers, you can buy more while spending less, and on top of that, you may get your items without having to pay the shipping fee!

 

Online shopping is just a breeze if you know just what stores you can rely on to get the best deals possible for you and your family. Spot flagship stores on Shopee and Lazada by looking for the “Shopee Mall” and “LazMall” badges or by filtering your search category to “mall” products only. You can get more information about Midea’s home appliance solutions or avail of exciting deals at www.mideaph.com.
