4 Comments

Taking kids on a plane is every parent’s worst nightmare. Whether this is your first time or your 30th, you’re going to be dreading something about sitting your little one down for hours at a time. Even though you’re getting a vacation out of it, you’ve got to travel there first, and who knows how well that’ll go? 

After all, there’s nowhere to sneak off to if they get bored or cranky and start crying, and all the other passengers are going to be wondering where the noise is coming from! 

All in all, it’s a stressful time for everyone. But does it have to be? No! That’s why you need some handy entertainment tips in your life right now! And thankfully, we’ve been there and done that; it’s why we’ve made a quick guide about the best ways to keep toddlers and young children entertained on a flight down below.

 

Pack a Small Activity Case

If you’ve got the space for it, pack a small box filled with coloring sheets, crayons, activity books, pens and plain paper, and even some craft instructions for your child to use. When you’re at the crux of your flight, break out the activity case (which shouldn’t be too hard to fit into a carry-on, so use that as a size guide!), and get them to work their way through it. When the time comes to get back on the plane for the way home, you can ‘refill’ the box with a few new things to do.

Can Your Home Make You Money? 6 Options To Consider

Leave a comment

Everyone needs some help with finances from time to time. Being able to find extra cash or generate income for times when money is tight and you need to pay for something out of the ordinary needn’t be as hard as you might think it is.

In fact, chances are you have money in your home that you might not even know about! While it might not be instant or easy money, your home can provide you with many different avenues to make some money and help you get cash without doing too much or taking on another job. 

Read on to find out how you can find money in your home without having to dive down the back of the sofa.

Declutter

Decluttering your home is a good way to determine how much money you are sitting on. If you have products or items around the house you no longer want or have use for, decluttering allows you to free up some space and make some money.

In the first instance, you need to separate your unwanted items into piles. You need a pile of items you can sell and make money from, items that aren’t really worth anything but still have some life left in them and can be donated, and items that need to be thrown away.

Once you have your piles, you can look at the different ways you can sell your unwanted items, be it selling jewelry and getting cash 4 gold, selling clothes and furniture online via social media marketplaces or pre-loved sites, or trading in mobile phones or electronics for cash or in part exchange for newer models.

Don’t forget; once you have decluttered, you need to remove the items from your home quickly to help you make some money, enjoy a home with fewer items, and live with less stuff.

Rent A Room

If you have a spare room in your home you are not using, you can rent out the space in a few different ways. If you are in a popular tourist area or location with many visitors for festivals, concerts, or events, you can rent out a room for visitors to your local area for a night or two during popular times of the year.

Quick and Easy Tips for a Sulit and Sustainable Holiday Season

Leave a comment

Filipinos are known to celebrate the longest and grandest holiday season. More often than not, this comes at an economic and environmental expense, having to spend more on food and gifts – but it doesn’t always have to be like that. Having an affordable and sustainable celebration can be an option and a great way for families to bond together.

Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation (APC Group) shares a few tips on how Filipinos can have a meaningful holiday season- the budget-friendly and eco-friendly way. APC Group General Manager of Corporate Planning and Public Relations Roann Co said, “We, at Ajinomoto, believe that there is no small contribution when it comes to caring for the environment. Through our tips below, we hope to empower Filipinos in giving the gift of sustainability this holiday season.” 

Here are some eco-friendly and meaningful ways to celebrate the holidays:

  • Recycled gift wraps and Do-It-Yourself gifts 


Using old magazines and newspapers as an alternative gift wrapper isn’t a new practice to Filipinos. But, it is definitely something that we should further encourage among our families and friends. Not only does it help the environment, it is also easy on the pocket too! 

Moreover, if you’re still wondering what gifts you should give, you can check some of the winning DIY projects during the online contest for Ilabas ang SustainAbilidad campaign such as the apron made from the wrappers of used Ajinomoto products and a DIY toy kitchen set for kids who want to learn to cook. You can also try re-inventing some of the projects to make it more creative and more heart-felt.

  • Solar-powered string lights

Christmas decorations are incomplete without bright lights at home and on the streets. Retire your vintage decors by using solar-powered lights which give you the same merry evenings with less electricity consumption and environmental impact. And since these solar-powered decors don’t add to your electricity bill, you may also consider maintaining this type of ambient lights on your garden and terraces. 

Beyond homes, Ajinomoto has also introduced solar energy to its Bulacan factory and it is projected to offset around 865 metric tons of carbon dioxide which is equivalent to reducing 2,352,456 miles in vehicle travel per year.

  • Prepare delicious, nutritious, and eco-friendly holiday meals

What makes Filipino holidays special is the variety of food options planned and prepared by home cooks. Bring out the flavor of your favorite handaan dishes like Pinoy spaghetti, lumpiang shanghai, adobo, kaldereta, and more with the new AJI-NO-MOTO® Umami Seasoning 45g paper pack. The new packaging is made from a natural paper material that can be planted, grown, harvested, and then replanted which means you’re not only preparing delicious food for the family but also helping the environment.  Continue reading →
