Lifestyle and Working Mom Magazine’s “Mother’s Day Picnic” was a tremendous success in once again bringing joy and wonderful memories to families that attended the fun-filled picnic-themed event last May 15 at the UP Sunken Garden in celebration of Mother’s Day.
Much to the delight of the fans who have been anticipating to meet and greet the mother and daughter tandem Min and Kathryn Bernardo, the first 50 lucky guests who trooped to the event and bought their copies of Working Mom Magazine’s May issue got a free pass to the much-awaited segment.
In the magazine’s May issue, Mommy Min shares her joys and sacrifices in raising her successful children—Chrysler, Kaye (who joins Mommy Min and Kathryn in the inside pages, along with Kaye’s daughter, Lexine), and Kevin.
Hosted by actress and TV host Dimples Romana, the event featured six zones perfect for the whole family to enjoy: Family Zone which included booths for family picnic activities and games such as: face paint and Giant Jenga, a pet buffet and grooming from Dogs and the City, and a family photo booth courtesy of Nido; Mommy Zone which included booths for Nails by Girlstuff, hairstyling by Goody, eye brow makeovers from K Palette, ABS-CBN Store, O-Shopping, and Sky Cable; Kids Zone which included booths from Lego, Keywest International, Chicco, Fisher Price, and Craft Party Manila; Food Zone which included booths for Spud Buds, Baga Manila merchants, Truck Bun, Sugartrails, and Mang Larry’s Ihawan; Working Mom Arts and Crafts Zone with activities courtesy of Craft Party Manila, art and crafts materials from Crayola, a bento box making activity from Glad; and toddler’s play area from Megabloks; and lastly the Sponsors Zone which included activity booths for Arla, ATC, Bio Oil, Ever Bilena, Petron, and for the UP Student Council.
Later that day, Lifestyle’s newest local shows Modern Girls and the new season of “A Pinch of Portia” were launched. Modern Girls hosts Gretchen Ho, Sam Oh, and Denise Laurel joined in the festivities and played fun games with the crowd.
Completing the ultimate Mother’s Day experience was Lifestyle’s very own Portia who conducted a cooking demo featuring Arla Cheesy Spread. Guests were also treated with samples of the Pesto Cream Coldcuts Sandwich.
The afternoon of family bonding was capped with a special serenade for moms rendered by ASAP Sessionista Richard Poon. Roses courtesy of Island Rose were also given out to mothers who were present during the event.
Other special treats were given out to the first 150 moms who registered online via the Lifestyle’s Facebook page. They received a special picnic basket filled with exciting treats and giveaways courtesy of Rebisco snack, Leslie and Farmer’s Potato, Sanicare sanitary set and Cheers set, Mott’s apple juice, Lotus Biscoff, Hunts, Absolute, Vitamilk, Clearascar, Toblerone, Insular, Arla, Goldilocks, and Nido.
