BEAUTYCON 2026: World Of Beauty is here. Now on its third year, it continues to be the trendsetting, must-attend event for beauty lovers, experts, and enthusiasts brought to you by Watsons, SM Beauty, and LOOK At Me.

I have been a Mom for 18 years now, and honestly, even though I am this far into parenting, I’m still figuring things out when it comes to helping my kids whenever they get sick. I currently have two bigger kids and a little 4 year old. Because of our experience, my kids pretty much know what to expect when they don’t feel well. But as every Mom knows, it never gets any easier seeing your kids deal with it. So to this day, I’m still actively looking for ways to make their fever recovery easier. And from this journey, I’ve learned a few things in this little side quest of mine that I think every young Mom needs to know.

My Routine

I’ll preface this by sharing the fact that I have been a Paracetamol (Tempra) believer all my life. Growing up, Paracetamol (Tempra) has always been my family’s go-to when it came to fever. So naturally, when the time came to be a parent myself, the first time my kid got sick, I turned immediately to what I knew. And I must say, I can really see why my own parents would always look straight to Paracetamol (Tempra) whenever I felt under the weather. To put it simply, it’s easy: Easy to store, easy to take, can be stocked up, my kids love the flavors, and most importantly, it is recommended and trusted by my family doctor and my kids’ pediatricians. Hence, my “routine” is nothing really special: Have my child rest, prepare lots of water for them to drink, cook light meals for them, and have them take Paracetamol (Tempra) every 4-6 hours. And while this plan generally works, the stars have to align for this to be 100% foolproof; Fever never comes at a convenient time. Because of this, my “routine” gets thrown out the window very often, so whenever my kids get sick, I improvise. My “routine” isn’t much of a routine, but from my experience, I’ve gained confidence in my on the spot handling, and I’ve learned a few things about Paracetamol (Tempra) itself that allowed me to be so much more flexible in the face of fever.

What I Didn’t Know About Paracetamol (Tempra)

I guess being around it so much all my life, I never really realized that Paracetamol (Tempra) doesn’t need to be shaken. I just knew of the “Fast Take, No Shake” formula from their brand jingle I heard months ago, but I only found out recently how much of a difference that makes. Because it’s a 100% dissolved paracetamol, the dosage is always consistent.

I also only found out recently from their most recent TV commercial that this formula Paracetamol (Tempra) is “Mabait sa Tummy.” Now, this is a real game changer for me, since for as long as I can remember, I thought you needed to eat before taking Paracetamol (Tempra). But it turns out, you don’t need to! Paracetamol (Tempra) is okay to take even on an empty stomach. Which is why during moments when your sick kid has no appetite or fever strikes in odd hours or in the middle of the night, Paracetamol (Tempra)’s still good to give. It’s really the little details like these about Paracetamol (Tempra) that make my family’s lives easier when it comes to fever recovery, regardless of the time, place, and situation.

Two Little Details, One Fresh Outlook

It’s these two things about Paracetamol (Tempra) that has made me a more confident “Lagnat Fighter” myself. Again, it never gets any easier watching your kids get sick, but having Paracetamol (Tempra) by our side at all times has made the whole process of recovery so much smoother and easier, most especially with these new findings of mine. So if you’re not a Tempra Mom just yet, consider stocking up on Paracetamol (Tempra) at the nearest drugstore or pharmacy. It may make things a little easier for the whole family!

While no two Disney and Pixar Animation Studios films are alike, “Hoppers” stands out as a hilarious outlier in more ways than one.

The Greenhills Mall Activity Center transformed into a vibrant playground of pure potential as Nutroplex recently wrapped up its flagship "MarketPlays: Playground for Future CEOs," a two-day showcase of entrepreneurial talent for kids last January 24 and 25. The weekend was filled with moments of discovery, turning standard mall trips into a series of proud, confidence-boosting milestones for families. By giving children the floor to explore their business skills, Nutroplex turned the activity center into a launchpad for the leaders of tomorrow, proving that when young minds are empowered, the sky becomes the limit.

At the heart of the festivities were the kiddie seller-run stalls, where young entrepreneurs traded their toys for ledgers and stepped into the shoes of real-world business owners. These future CEOs showcased remarkable creativity, beaming with pride as they closed their very first sales and pitched their unique ideas to an impressed crowd of adults and fellow young learners. Every booth told a story of independence, bringing the brand’s mission of “Todo-Focus” (concentration) and “Bilis Diskarte” (quick thinking and mental sharpness) to life as children navigated the exciting challenges of a marketplace with infectious enthusiasm.

The energy remained high as the kids dove headfirst into a flurry of hands-on activities designed to sharpen their problem-solving skills. From the intricate components of the Robothink PH workshop to the strategic thinking found in the business sessions, every corner of the event was a stimulating experience for their young brains. 

Serial entrepreneur and motivational speaker RJ Ledesma shared his experience and valuable insights on starting a business. 

The "Nutty Scientist" stole the show with a series of interactive experiments that made complex science seem like pure magic, while serial entrepreneur and motivational speaker RJ Ledesma shared a treasure trove of wisdom during the "Kiddie CEO Talk," inspiring participants to dream big and act with confidence.

"At Unilab, we believe in empowering families to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. It is important for us to make available high-quality products so that they are supported at every stage of growth,” said Jennifer Bulao, Unilab Assistant Vice President General Manager, “We developed Nutroplex to be part of kids' daily routines to help them feel ready to try, explore, and take on new challenges—turning simple playtime into meaningful, confidence-building moments.”

Sunshine Aquino, Unilab Assistant Vice President of Marketing,highlighted how Market Plays allowed families to experience Alagang Unilab beyond the product shelf. “This event was designed to be more than just an activity. It’s a space where children can practice todo-focus and bilis-diskarte through hands-on experience, while parents see how everyday moments of play can become meaningful opportunities for learning and growth,” she shared, “In the same way Nutroplex helps boost concentration and promote agile thinking, experiences like MarketPlays encourage kids to try, explore, and take on new challenges,” she said. “When children are properly nourished, they are more ready to turn simple play into confidence-building moments—reinforcing our commitment to support them as they grow, learn, and thrive.”

This journey toward independence was fueled by more than just imagination. Nutroplex provided the nutritional foundation necessary for these high-energy milestones. Formulated with essential nutrients like iron and Vitamin B-complex (B1, B6, and B12), the multivitamin-mineral supplement supports “Todo-Focus (concentration) and “Bilis Diskarte” (quick thinking and mental sharpness) that the young leaders displayed throughout the fair. 

The experience was further enriched by support from Nutroplex’s partner organizations, whose activities reinforced learning beyond the marketplace. The event featured engaging workshops and hands-on learning stations from education partners Nullspace, S.A.M Singapore Math, and Robothink, while official trade partner Watsons Philippines supported the event by bringing Nutroplex and other Unilab brands closer to families. Through guided activities and mission cards, children and parents were encouraged to explore each station, making the experience more immersive, purposeful, and rewarding.

Nutroplex MarketPlays: Playground for Future CEOs proved that when children are provided with the right nutritional support and a supportive environment, every moment of play becomes a building block for a successful future. As families celebrated these early milestones, the event stood as a testament to the power of nurturing a child’s potential through focus, health, and a spirit of adventure.

As parents in the generation of smart gadgets, it cannot be helped that our kids will eventually want or need them since some schools also use it for academic purposes. The most important thing about this is as parents we make sure that everything we introduce or let them use is age-appropriate and with our guidance. Having a preschooler myself, I only go for things that will positively benefit her. I recently got the LUMOS Kids’ Tablet for her and I’m sharing the reasons why I think it’s the best tablet for her age.

1. Builds basic tech skills

As I mentioned above, having gadgets nowadays for school can be necessary, so this kind of exposure can help children become comfortable with technology. The LUMOS Kids’ Tablet interface is also designed with a cute and simple layout, so kids ages 3-9 can effortlessly use it.

2. Supports early learning and encourages creativity

The great thing about the LUMOS Kids’ tablet is it already has built-in educational apps and entertainment apps that can explore their interests and make learning letters, numbers, shapes and colors fun and engaging.

 They can also enjoy safe and age-appropriate shows with YouTube Kids, readily available on the tablet.

My daughter has been personally enjoying the iWawa app’s Art and Craft and coloring feature.

This tablet also runs on a 6GB RAM, 3x faster than normal kids’ tablet, so it loads quicker and apps run smoother.

Since this tablet is dedicated to kids, something we often fear as parents is them dropping it and ends up breaking. But this has an impact-absorbing rubber frame that protects the tablet from accidental drops and keeps it safe and sturdy while they use it.

4. Portable Design and Setup

With its mini size, built-in handle and handy stand at the back, your kids will be so comfortable taking it anywhere they go.

Something I’m very strict with when it comes to my daughter using her tablet is managing her screen time and knowing what she watches. With the LUMOS Kids’ Tablet, I have full control on what she can access - even just opening the tablet itself, we have passwords and in turn, she’s guided on only age-appropriate content.

Aside from the educational aspect of having a tablet, I’m also going to be honest when I say that sometimes when I’m super busy and just need a little window to do what I need to, this can be beneficial for both of us when used mindfully. I get to accomplish tasks and on the side, my daughter can have fun and learn.

Remember too, moms that it’s beneficial for our kids to use gadgets as long as it’s quality content, we know how to limit screen time and we’re always involved.

LUMOS has always been a trusted brand for our family over the years and I’m glad that they’re continuing to come out with amazing products for us to use and look forward to. 

The LUMOS Kids’ Tablet is currently priced at only Php 4,999 and you can now purchase it at https://www.lumosprojector.ph/kidstablet
