A day of Love

By
What is it with Valentines Day that people are pretty much preoccupied on where to celebrate it or what to give to their loved ones on this day? Oh wait, it's a day to make someone special, that is. But I am pretty much sure that everyday can be special not just Valentines day. Because there should not be a waste of moment where you show your loved ones how much you value them and love them. People work their ass off just to provide for their family (J is one of them) but TIME is the most essential thing you can give your family and in time you can bring so much joy.

To avoid the traffic and the heart's day rush we had our pre-valentine dinner a day before and it was our monthsary also (yes we do commemorate it still). It was a simple family dinner with our kids. At first we were so hesitant to have a dinner date due to yayaless situation but I said, I don't think we have to sacrifice a dinner date just because we don't have a nanny. We can enjoy it as a family though.

Months ago, I purchased a food voucher from cashcashpinoy and it was primarily intended for a surprise dinner date for J but because the voucher didn't have a block out date on Valentines eve, I decided to have it booked then. 

We had dinner at Royal Seafood Restaurant and enjoyed the fine dining ambiance with the kids. I am glad that at least they have a high chair (improvised) available for babies. The voucher includes steamed shrimps, garlic rice, spinach soup, taro puff and assorted cold cuts which i good for four pax. It was originally priced at p1,600 and only paid p499 for the meal. Little boy enjoyed the rice so much and spinach soup for my little girl.

This is one of our bonding moments that we should do more often and enjoy as a family. Even if it is close to impossible to dine with the kids, it is one way of molding them how to behave in a place like this. Glad they didn't pull the grumpy attitude while we are having dinner.

Myra Ultimate Dietary Supplement Review

Health is wealth. I have said this countless times to my children and everyone else. Now this pandemic reminds us that we need to take care of ourselves more since we are battling a virus. Aside from exercise, healthy food, and vitamins that we take everyday, we also need to take care of our skin. Even though we are at home most of the time, we must not neglect the protective layer of our body. I learned skin care through my mom who was health conscious too. She would take vitamins and supplements of all sorts and strictly follow a skin care routine day and night. She is my biggest influence when it comes to taking care of myself. I learned that in order for us to have a good glowing skin, it should start from within.  I came across Myra a few years back at a drugstore when I started working and began taking their Vitamin E supplement. Now they Myra Ultimate, a new product that I tried and here are my thoughts. One week of taking it, I noticed a significant change in the glow of my...

Purple Fairy Cosmetics Review x Giveaway

If kilay is life, liptint is life also for me. There was a phase in my life where I'd hoard every new lipstick in the market. But suddenly, I grew tired of it. BOO.   When I purchased my first liptint and knew how versatile it was for a busy mom like me, I had already a thing for liptints. In a span of a year, I bought several local and foreign brands and of course there were mixed emotions about it. There is just something about it that tells me still, they do belong to the same mother but unique in every way.  It is about time for me to throw some of it because I have been using it beyond six months already. Do not get me wrong though, I store my liptints in a cold and dry place (refrigerator) that is why, I could still use it beyond it's shelf life. Now it's time to hunt for a new local brand when suddenly I came across the owner of the brand I have been eyeing to try for the longest time.  Anyway, so much for blabbing here and let's get to the review...
