Some mommies have asked me how it feels to be a brand ambassador. Yep, if you're new here (Hi! Welcome to my blog!), I'm one of the Brand Believers of Sangobion. It's an iron supplement loaded with vitamins and minerals.
I started taking Sangobion when I was pregnant with Vito. That was 2009. My OBG said I needed extra iron because I had low blood pressure, I was borderline anemic, and I'm going to be making a lot of blood for my baby. He prescribed Sangobion.
When Merck approached me a few months ago to be part of their Brand Believers roster, I said yes because I really believed in Sangobion. Just look at my super perfectly healthy Vito and Iñigo!
So how does it feel to be a brand ambassador? Well, it's kinda strange for me when I had to actually go onstage with celebrities. I'm not a celebrity. I'm a journalist. I'm used to being behind the scenes, behind the camera, writing the story. To be in front of the cameras and to be in the news... It's definitely a new experience! I hope I'm doing a good job because this is so new to me.

Lessons I learned from this media exposure:
1. When you go to an event where you're a brand ambassador, have your hair and makeup done. Professionally!
2. Wear a girdle. Then even with a girdle on, suck it in anyway!
3. Always have a camera-ready smile. In a lot of the photos (I have friends in the media who showed me their pics of the event), I look bewildered and scared haha.
Well, so this is how it feels to be a brand ambassador. I'm still getting used to the publicity part but I will say that I like the part where I must tell my readers and followers about Sangobion. Yes, it's a great vitamin and iron supplement. I like that my lips and cheeks are rosier. I like it because it doesn't cause tummy upset—it's easily digested and it doesn't make my poop alarmingly black. I like it because I'm not so tired. I like it because it tastes like chocolate. I highly recommend it!
