SHOWBIZ moms may have more resources at their disposal than most mothers but it’s also amazing how they manage to juggle all the roles they take on in real and reel life.
Dimples Romana, for instance, is busy with being a mom to her kids and wife to her husband Boyet, her acting career, and brand endorsements, among other things. But she still finds the time to take short courses for self-improvement.
“I want to better equip myself when I’m talking about brands I endorse and represent,” said the 37-year-old.
Aside from self-improvement, one of Dimple’s gifts to herself is a healthier lifestyle.
“I learned that when you try to lead a healthier lifestyle, it has to start with little steps.”
She admitted that sometimes, she can spread herself too thin and it got to a point where she wanted to lay low after completing the soap opera Kadenang Ginto. “I’ve been working since I was young. I got married at a young age. It’s so easy to be burned out so I really made an effort to be healthy. That really helped me,” said Dimples during the online media event to formally introduce her as Santé Barley Max’s new endorser.
Santé Barley Max is barley grass harvested at a young age and produced in powder and capsule forms. The barley grass powder used for Santé Barley Max is certified organic by BioGro, New Zealand’s largest and best-known certifier for organic produce and products. Santé Barley Max comes in capsule and powder form. Dimples usually drinks the powder dissolved in some water.
“I’ve been drinking Santé Barley Max for a year and I’m very happy with it,” said Dimples.
We also caught up with two more showbiz moms—Iya Villania Arellano and Neri Naig Miranda—during an event for baby products brand Babyflo.
Iya and her husband Drew Arellano have three kids with another little one on the way, while Neri and Chito Miranda have two children and will soon adopt Neri’s niece Pia.
During the #SayaNgAlagangBabyflo campaign launch of baby products brand Babyflo, Iya and Neri credited their husbands for giving them the support they need to be efficient moms and homemakers.
“I have an exceptionally supportive husband. He helps make sure I have time for myself when I need it,” said Neri.
She said Chito even tells the kids that “mommy needs time for herself” when she’s in the room and they want to enter.
Iya said she is very low maintenance when it comes to her hair and skin care.
“I actually don’t like the time I need to give to go to the salon. That takes about four hours, and this is why I like to have hair that’s easy to maintain.”
What she needs time for is her fitness routine.
“I’m happy to get my daily workout in and that for me is all the daily ‘me’ time I need. When I feel that I need an extra boost, then every once in awhile I’ll schedule a date lunch with a friend, plus some shopping therapy on the side. But that only happens about once or twice a month so it’s easy to work that into my schedule,” said Iya.
During the event, Babyflo launched their new look with playful designs. I’d just like to share that Babyflo’s blue baby cologne has been a favorite since I was in high school and I’m glad to see that even though the packaging is now different, it still smells as good.
