As we enter the final few months of 2020, we could all use a little help to dust away the cloud of grey in anticipation of brighter days. Inspired by the sensory power of nature during the Summer solstice when the Earth is tilted maximally toward the Sun, Hendrick’s Gin launches Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice, a limited-edition gin that captures the bright, aromatic intensity of a midsummer day. 

True to Hendrick’s original style, Midsummer Solstice discerns itself with the infusion of deeply floral essences that enhance the liquid’s existing botanical bouquet and captures the mystery of some of nature’s most effervescent blooms. The result is an enchantingly floral and exquisitely refreshing gin that blossoms on the palate. Midsummer Solstice’s fragrant notes include zesty juniper with an initial brightness that melts to reveal hidden undertones of orange blossom and exotic ripeness. This bright and floral take on the brand's house style makes it perfect for sipping in the sun and can be highlighted in the perfect seasonal spritz. Its deep floral character makes the expression pleasantly refreshing in a host of mixed drinks and cocktails. 

The delightfully bright liquid was created by Master Distiller Lesley Gracie, at the heart of the Gin Palace in the Cabinet of Curiosities where she keeps her most experimental and treasured liquids under lock and key. “A deeply rooted respect for nature and its most beautiful creations excited me to capture the aromas and flavours of a midsummer day and I am truly enamored over this first release from the Cabinet of Curiosities,” said Gracie. “Midsummer Solstice is the latest expression in what will be a long line of innovations from Hendrick’s and I’m very much looking forward to not to not only creating new and avant-garde expressions at the Gin Palace, but also sharing them with the world.”

Raising children in these present times is not easy. As parents, it is our task to prepare our children to meet any moment with strength and confidence. “The world has gotten smaller and because of this, it is important for us parents to help prepare them to distinguish what is good and what is bad for them,” shared Cheska Kramer, wife and full-time mother to three beautiful children, Kendra, Scarlett and Gavin.

As much as parents try to cushion kids from the harsh world and do everything to be sure that they are comfortable, we can better support their growth by teaching them to meet life as it happens. For Cheska, experience is an amazing tool for learning. We will not always be around to solve our kids’ problems for them, so it helps to give them plenty of opportunities to figure things out for themselves. “A good balance for the children would mean there should be time for study, sports, play, nature tripping, and serving the community. Most of all, there must be a lot of valuable time with the family where children learn first from their parents,” she said.

With everything that lies ahead, kids also need all the nourishment they can get to fuel them not only for their day, but for also for a stronger future. It is important to feed our kids with the right vitamins and minerals that enables them to be their best self, no matter the situation. Power up your kids to meet life’s curveballs with Cheez Whiz. Packed with strength-building nutrients such as Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Calcium and Phosphorus, daily servings of this cheesy treat help give kids the strength to explore and experience a well-rounded joyful childhood, enabling them to live life to the fullest.

The riders, however, are never expected to shell out any money—the company itself shoulders these expenses.

To make sure that they can always stay connected, the company partnered with telecommunications providers Globe, PLDT-Smart and Cherry Prepaid for exclusive deals to help its riders save up on their data consumption and communications expenses. They were also given discounts in gasoline stations, tires, and many more. Riders have been thoroughly trained in new practices such as contactless delivery and sanitation. Rain or shine, riders are provided with weather gear for the season. Lastly, to make sure that their riders really have good vibes, the riders were given insurance in partnership with Manulife and Cebuana Lhuillier. 

That said, you can be sure that the foodpanda rider delivering your favorite food and essentials is enjoying not just the job, but all the perks and benefits that come with it. This National Heroes Month, they're definitely being treated like the heroes they are especially during these times.

As Christmas day approaches, Max’s Restaurant offers new treats inspired by the holidays. Nilagang Pasko is the restaurant's own take on the well-loved pochero dish, a tender trio of beef bulalo, cured meat, and chicken submerged in a rich annatto oil-infused broth with potatoes, pechay, squash, sweet potatoes, green beans, saba banana, partnered with eggplant salsa. 

With Simbang Gabi just around the corner and the year almost ending, cap off every get-together with Bibingka Cheesecake, Max’s Corner Bakery’s unique take on the classic Filipino Christmas staple.
