Our last mommy blogger for our  Mommy blogger entrepreneur series.. none other than Denise Rayala or known as Bebeng of Bebengisms.com

Denise is a hands-on mom to her six-year-old daughter and a phone-dependent military wife. She blogs her recipes, quirks, finds and thoughts on her cyber kingdom while keeping a home, mothering and virtually flirting with her Army kind of guy.

She is now the kitchen boss behind Bebeng’s Kitchen (BK). BK offers totally homemade tasty treats and savory sidekicks.

• Name of Business: Bebeng’s Kitchen
• Contact Details: Inquiries on Bebeng’s Kitchen Facebook Page
• Products: Totally Homemade Sweet Treats (cupcakes, cookies, etc) and Savory Sidekicks (Atsara, Chili Garlic Sauce, Gourmet Tuyo)

Denise confessed that cooking is one of the things that she’s very good at and using this God- given talent to earn extra income won’t feel working at all. “This is cliche but this is also true: Having my own business is being my own boss. If I fail, if I suck, I only have myself to blame. And that makes the whole thing challenging. And rewarding, too because I’m doing great! Woot! Really, there’s no business like food business! What may be yummy for me may not be yummy for everyone. But I’m glad that I have already gained a few loyal foodies. They make my kitchen journey happier,” she added.

You won’t believe this but her initial worries when starting the business is Math! All she wanted to do is cook, bake and sell, the costing and computations gave her headaches fort he first few days. And to overcome this, she reads up on commerce topics online and learned how to price her products.

Can you say you made the right decision of starting your own business?

Denise: Yes. One of the biggest and best decisions I have ever made in my life. There are a little bumps and humps along my new mompreneur road but I’m not going to take a detour, not even going back.

Well, I heard Bebeng’s Kitchen Savory Sidekicks are really good! Specially her Chili Garlic Sauce! I got a taste of her Sweet treats during Mommy Bloggers Philippines Halloween Party and yeeees those are real treats!

Picking up from my  Mommy blogger entrepreneur series, our 4th mom is Chinky Magtibay of LookingAtTheBrightSide.com.

• Name of Business: Pixtar Photobooth
• Contact Details: Inquires on Pixtar Photobooth Facebook Page
• Products: Affordable Photobooth packages!

Chinky and her husband started the photo booth business because she loves taking pictures. Chinky shared that even before the start of the digital age in photography, she is already the one who always had a camera in hand. “I am also a fun-loving person who loves to laugh and wants to see people happy and smiling. So having Pixtar Photobooth for parties and special events was the perfect business,” she said about starting a photo booth business.

When I asked Chinky their initial worries, here’s her confession:

At first, my husband & I were worried about being able to balance having our Pixtar Photobooth business, having fulltime day jobs and starting a family. As the months went by, we learned to apply proper time management. We also learned to “hit two birds with one stone,” because most of the time, my husband & I make it a point to be present at the Pixtar Photobooth events. So it also doubles as bonding & date time with each other.

Chinky said they made a good decision to start a business not just because they were able to share joy with their costumer through instant photo souvenirs but also because their being hands on with their business allowed them to grow together, as husband and wife.

Pixar Photobooth was one of the sponsors of Mommy Bloggers Philippines Halloween Party. As you can see, they know their business very well!
