Game Plans for Success: Turn Your Dreams to Reality

Colin Powell said, "A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work." Tough but true. Dreams should be pursued to make it happen. But how? By coming up with a plan!

After 3 successful runs, here it is again! Game Plan for Success: Turn Your Dreams to Reality Batch 4: Aspiring Entrepreneurs Edition 

On this fourth run, the focus is on all aspiring entrepreneurs who want to start their own business. Expect wonderful ideas, great "aha" moments, and practical answers to your questions as you participate in this inspiring and fun event!

The workshop will consist of two parts.

PART 1
How do people ever crush their goals one after the other? What is the secret to achieving all that we aspire for? What sets apart successful people to the ones that are mediocre? 

These and many more are what we will answer in our interactive and sought-after goal setting workshop. 

We will talk about a very simple 3 step process that will help you get to your goals faster and more efficiently. 

PART 2
In this second part of the workshop, we will breeze thru the step by step process on how you can successfully launch your business. 

If you have been wanting to start a business but never had the COURAGE to take your first step, this workshop is for you. 

Below are testimonies of some of the women who have been helped and enlightened by this workshop.

This awesome event will be held on April 13, 2019 from 12:30 noon to 5pm, at the GREATWORK BUSINESS CAMPUS 3rd Floor, Main Building, Ben-Lor IT Center, 1184 Quezon Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City.

Brotzeit Junior Chef Workshop: A Fun-filled Learning Experience for My Love Bug

My love bug and I have been reading Walter the Baker and she just loves it. She's so fascinated with the idea that the "sun shines through [a pretzel] three times". Every time we finished reading the book, she would tell me she wanted to bake pretzels too, just like Walter the Baker.

Anna and Walter the Baker

So imagine her delight when I took her to Brotzeit Shangri-la last May 4 to be a Junior Chef! She was a bit shy at first but after sometime she started to warm up and feel comfortable.

After a little introduction and welcome remarks of Ms. Malou Gonzalez, Brotzeit's PR and Marketing Manager, the Junior Chefs met Chef Ivan. Then the ultimate fun began!

"Wash your hands first!"

Putting all the ingredients into the bowl

"Make sure your work area is clean."

"Thank you for the help, Chef."

"Look at my dough, Mom!"

Cut then roll

"Aaahhh!"

Yay! A pretzel!

After sometime, the pretzels were ready to be baked in the oven. While waiting, the Junior Chefs prepared refreshing coolers for themselves.

Working seriously :)

Slowly but surely

While the Junior Chefs received special gifts from Toy Kingdom, the mommies got their treat, the Cusina Dishwashing Liquid gift set from Cusina Home.

Yay! The pretzels are done! My love bug just loved it!

"Mommy, look!"

"Yummy!"

Finally, the Junior Chefs got their certificate from Brotzeit Philippines. Looking at their faces, I could say that they're really proud of themselves. :)

So proud of my love bug :)

Hooray for our Junior Chefs!

Thank you so much, Chef Ivan!

Before we went home, Ms. Malou served us Brotzeit's famous and scrumptious fladen. Yummy indeed!

It was indeed a fun-filled learning experience for my love bug. She enjoyed it as much as I did. I believe the other kids and moms had fun as well. Thank you so much, Mommy Bloggers Philippines, Brotzeit Ph, Cusina Home and Toy Kingdom.

Moms, satisfy your kids' desire to be little chefs for a day this merry month of May! Sign them up for Brotzeit Junior Chef @ Work. 

Brotzeit Junior Chef @ Work - A Fun Baking Workshop for Kids this May

Mommies and kids find cooking and baking sessions fun especially this vacation. The kids like to play and imitate their moms in the kitchen, mold some dough and bake easy to prepare cookies and breads. Moms enjoy seeing the kids able to work on their own, even with their little hands, and be able to make simple treats all by themselves.

This month of May, every Saturday, Brotzeit will be having their Brotzeit Junior Chef @ Work where little ones can have a fun afternoon of making their own favorite Brotzeit food. They can learn how to make their own Fladen, Cookies, and Pretzels. It will be an exciting experience for little kids complete with aprons, cooking tools, and certificates and they will get to taste and bring home the products that they made.

Sign up at least one week before each class. You may also contact Malou Gonzalez at malou@brotzeitphil.com for schedules and registration.

Come with your kids and experience the fun of being Junior Chefs!

Crafting Time's Polymer Clay Workshop: Mommy and Me Clay Play!

Last April 1st, I was one of the privileged few that was invited to join the Clay Play activity sponsored by The Crafters Marketplace. It was held in their studio located at the Rustan's Grocery, Shangri-La Mall right beside the GNC shop. I came with my daughter who got so excited when I told her about it a day before.

Look at how excited she is!

After the warm welcome and introduction from Ms. Alma Borruel-Ramirez, one of the owners of the Crafters Marketplace (the other one is Ms. Sunshine Asuncion-See), we were treated to a refreshing milk tea from Fiftea and yummy cheese roll from Mary Grace. Snacks came first since we would get busy, according to her (wink).

Yummy snacks

Afterwards, Melody, our teacher who is one of the leading clay artists in the Philippines, started the workshop. She's fun, accommodating and friendly. She's been into crafting since she was 10 years old (I'd like to say since birth; that's how good she is)! She introduced to us what a polymer clay is. She told us the different types/brands of polymer clay, what brands are best for kids' play and for jewellery makers and the things to remember before we handle or play our clay. Very informative! Also, she unselfishly shared her tips and secrets in decorating her clay.

Fimo is best both for kids and jewellery makers while Sculpey III is good for kids

For this workshop, we used the Dukit brand (modelled by my daughter)

Some of Melody's creations

Would you believe that's all made of clay?

Then the real work or should I say, the real play began! (Note: Always make sure that your hands and everything you'll use are clean before you touch your clay)

Cut the clay before you knead it

Don't worry, I did the cutting

Kneading

She's kneading too! :)

Melody showed us how to make a flower. Everyone tried her best to come up with a flower too.

Time to put them in the oven toaster. 

While waiting for our creations to be "cooked", Ms. Alma gave us a quick tour to their shop.

We also had our "class picture". We were just a small group but we had a great time!

 Then the moment we've been waiting for had come! 

They're done! Yay!

Ms. Sunshine, in an email, promised us that it's going to be fun and she certainly kept her word. My daughter and I enjoyed our clay play together. Just like what Melody said, "It's a relaxing bonding time between mother and daughter."

Polymer Clay Art of The Crafters Marketplace, a really must-try activity! :)
