Vitapops Wacky Science Fair at SM Mall of Asia

October 23, 2012 10 Comments

Vitapops held its Wacky Science Fair at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall yesterday. I just love these kind of events that I can bring my family, since Vitapops is for kids, all the activities were targeted for them.

Read my Vitapops review and know why Gwen and my nephew love Vitapops here: Kid-approved: Unilab’s Vitapops

To be able to enter and enjoy the Wacky Science Fair, you just have to buy Php 50 worth of Vitapops and you’ll be given game passes that you can use inside. Lotsa fun games and activities for the kids, mommies and daddies too! Kids enjoyed being a scientist for a day with fun and safe science experiments. Mommy-daughter tandem went kikay at the Pop Spa where they had a mani-pedi session. Other entertainment includes the side performances of clowns, magicians, unicyclists, stilt walkers, bubble maker, and ventriloquist.

For us, we just hanged out at the Playpen, Gwen picked up some crayons and started doodling on the toys, not the coloring books, eeerrr, sorry…

Expecting Moms Urged to Exercise

Exercise has been proven by repeated studies to provide many benefits during pregnancy, including strengthening baby’s heart and reducing the risk of complications. Other studies have confirmed a faster recovery and fewer delivery complications for mothers who routinely exercise. Even with this evidence, an epidemiological study has now shown women may not be receiving the message.

Only half of women reported exercising 90 minutes per week prior to pregnancy, which is a rate lower than the 120 minutes recommended by experts. Only 27 percent of women continued at this modest level of exercise after pregnancy.

The problem turns out to be one of belief. Many women have a completely unfounded belief that working out for longer than 30 minutes, even with low- to moderate-intensity walking and swimming exercises, poses a danger to their babies. I was greatly encouraged by my doctor to exercise regularly and research has proven the real danger lies in not exercising.

When we’re still kids, there are no Ipads, Iphones, Ipods, smartphones, Xbox, Wii, PSPs, Leapfrogs, and laptops and other gadgets for kids. Yet, we took pleasures in simple things like dolls for girls and yellow toy trucks for boys. Our parents must have been happy then, toys weren’t as expensive as today, quite a relief, =).

Sometimes (sometimes lang ha), I find it as a blessing to have a frugal husband because Jeff will be my kunsensya that will just appear whenever I’m gonna buy an expensive-considered-as-luxury item for the little girl. Our disagreement whether to buy or not to buy mostly came in buying children’s toys. In this case, frugality and practicality wins.

So let me share to you some fun and educational toys for the kids, the old school style:
