{The giveaway in this post is closed.}

Earlier this year, our family was able to go to the second Babypalooza Bazaar at the Walter Hogan Conference Center in the Ateneo de Manila University Campus. We went mostly to support my friends over at The Learning Basket, who had a booth there. We were also able to buy some cloth diapers on sale from , as part of our preparations for Anne’s birth. 🙂 As in the first Babypalooza Bazaar, we had a pleasant shopping (well, mostly browsing, ha, ha!) experience. 😉

So when Kat of Babypalooza asked if I could help promote their third bazaar, I agreed without any hesitation. Y’all may know that I have a soft spot in my heart for mompreneurs, and I try to support them as much as I can, in my own little way. 😉

Anyway, friends, let me invite you to the 3rd Babypalooza Bazaar this August! 🙂

Truly Rich Recommendations {Events}: Babypalooza Bazaar + A Giveaway by Mommy’s Little Boss! :)

January 31, 2013 by Tina 27 Comments

I blogged about the Babypalooza Bazaar last year, and was even privileged enough to host a giveaway by Mommy and Baby Essentials. I was able to drop by the bazaar with the kids and browse through the booths and chitchat with some of the vendors (a few of whom were fellow mom bloggers, like Cai, Fleur and the ladies of The Soshal Network).

I also met some mompreneurs from the that I’m part of, and that Martine founded. 🙂 It was a FUN afternoon for me (though not so much for the kids, ha, ha! 🙂 They were obsessed at that time with looking for a copy of one of the Madeline books, so they wanted to go to a bookshop!)

Well, the ladies behind Babypalooza have another treat in store for everyone! 🙂 They’re having another bazaar — this time for two days — on February 16 and 17, 2013, at the Walter Hogan Conference Center in Ateneo de Manila (same venue as last time).

Shoppers will again get to choose among both preloved and brand new premium items from widely-trusted local and imported brands.

According to the organizers, there will also be special function rooms for breastfeeding moms and their babies, and for diaper changes. Toddlers will also have a special play area, and there’s even a waiting lounge for the daddies who will be going with the mommies! 🙂

Another treat in store for everyone are special talks on early childhood development, to be given by none other than my good friend and fellow homeschooling mom Mariel of The Learning Basket, who also happens to be a licensed educator (she is our son’s teacher for the Young Child program)! 🙂 The talks are FREE of charge, but pre-registration is required.

For more information, please visit Babypalooza’s website here or email . You can also contact them through the numbers indicated in the photo above. 🙂

Truly Rich Recommendations {Events}: Babypalooza Bazaar 2012 + A Giveaway by Mommy & Baby Essentials! :)

November 18, 2012 by Tina 1 Comment

Shopping for mommy, baby and kids items nowadays has become significantly “easier,” especially if you live in urban areas like Manila. Actually, with the Internet, you don’t even have to leave your home to buy this or that item — I’m sure you’ve bought something online at least ONCE in your life, right? 🙂 (One of my FAVE online stores is , but then, I’m a certified ~~hoarder of children’s books~~ book-lover and hope to raise my kids to be the same!)

Still, going to bazaars and events specifically geared towards moms and their families is a whole lot of fun, and I try to make sure we attend at least one or two such events every year — even more, if our schedule permits! 🙂

One such event coming up is the Babypalooza Bazaar on Friday, November 30, 2012, at the Walter Hogan Conference Center in Ateneo de Manila University.

From the press kit (with a few side comments from moi, teehee!):

The Babypalooza bazaar focuses on items and services for babies, toddlers and expectant moms. It features bothpreloved and brand new premium itemsfrom widely trusted local and imported brands. Items from Phillips Avent, Vulli (Sophie the Giraffe), Carter’s, Dr. Brown, Calvin Klein, Tiny Buds, Red Tag, Gap, Human Heart Nature (one of my favorite brands of all time!), Osh Kosh and tons of other stuff produced by Manila-based mompreneurs and from well-known brands will be sold on-site at negotiable, parent-friendly prices. A lactation consultant will also be on-site to offer FREE breastfeeding tips and counseling. (I love that they’re breastfeeding-friendly! 🙂

A special feature of this bazaar is its Vendor Protection Program (VPP). The VPP ensures that items that will be sold by one Babypalooza vendor will not be sold by another. This will ensure that buyers will not see the same stuff from several vendors over and over again, making their visit and shopping experience much more fun and worthwhile J (Isn’t this a great feature? It will help you narrow down your shopping choices and save time too!)

Items that will be sold are baby clothing, shoes and accessories, gear, strollers/baby furniture, feeding bottles, nursing wear, breast pumps, skin care and cleaning products. Services such as umbilical cord banking, bronze casting and pregnancy/breastfeeding massage (I could use a good pregnancy massage right about now, LOL!) will also be featured. Edible products such as organic baby food, pastries, pasta and other food items will be sold on-site.

The venue is fully air-conditioned. Free parking and entrance.

You can also get in touch with Cel Goco, Mariz Ong and/or Kat dela Torre.
