I got to hand it to Robinsons Supermarket when it comes to advocating health and wellness campaign. This year, they continue to strengthen its We Love Wellness commitment with the launch of the “Route to Wellness” campaign. The year-long campaign kicked-off with a two-day Explore boot camp at Robinsons Magnolia Open Garden area.

Kids will always be kids. No matter how vigilant and extra careful we are about their safety, accidents are inevitable. Boo-boos, scrapes, and cuts are part of childhood, but I’m sure all of you can relate, each of them gives me a heart attack!
Gwen is growing up and every day, she tries to learn new things. She’s learning how to ride a bike, and even if she’s wearing knee pads, she would end up having scratches at the end of a ride. One time, she and her cousins we’re playing tag and running so fast, and I’m sure you know what happens next, nadapa! She came home crying with a wounded knee, and we had a hard time cleaning it up because she wails whenever we touch her knee.
Malayo sa bituka yan!
That’s what I always hear way back my childhood days whenever I come home crying because of a wounded knee. My nanay would chase me right then and there because she will pour alcohol on the wound to kill the bacteria. Those were the days, and you know what? We’re doing it all wrong! Using antiseptic such as alcohol or hydrogen peroxide (agua oxigenada) might do more harm than good. I came up with a list of some common mistakes about wound care, it really helps to learn something new each day.

Recently, I asked you about your family’s drinking water after reading a post on Rappler on water safety. I came to realize that providing drinking water from refilling stations isn’t generally safe. This was proven by a video shown to us during the launch of Unilever PureIt’s “Sure Ka Ba?” campaign. More on the campaign later but please watch the video.

I’m curious what and where do you buy your family’s drinking water? And if you have kids, how old did you let your kids drink the same water the rest of the family drinks? We have this drinking water issue when we travel, because we always bring bottled distilled water for Gwen. Lagi namin iniisip na baka walang ganong brand in our destination (which is what we experienced when we went to Guimaras), so para sure, we always bring around 3 to 4 liters of water.

When Jeff and I became parents, we’ve come to the point that we worry about our daughter’s future. We’d like to live longer so that we can still guide her even if she became independent. In order for us to live a longer life, we should take care of our health as early as now. As they say, being healthy should be a lifestyle, not just a fad. Robinsons Supermarket helps us in our wellness journey through its #ILoveWellness campaign.
