La Union Botanical Garden

By
Before I post a blog about our recent epic fail visit at Manila Zoo I will first make a blog post about our La Union trip few years back, my son’s very first mini zoo/garden adventure.

It was an ordinary out of town business trip of J when he thought of bringing us with him. That time I had a nanny, the very first nanny my friend recommended to me from an agency. She was good by the way except the fact she gets dizzy on our trip only to find out she was pregnant. Whew!

Anyway, out trip was on a rainy season already so we didn’t consider going to the beach. We just checked in on a hotel facing the beach and have a pool facility. My little boy that time was still reluctant to swimming. He cries like there’s no tomorrow whenever we try to dip him into a pool. So we really didn’t get to enjoy swimming then.

I searched on the net for tourist destinations in La Union and the one that looked very promising was the La Union Botanical Garden. It was a first time to J’s ears so we asked for assistance from J’s business partner to guide us to the place. It was a secluded area and I’m pretty sure if given any chance to go back there, we will have a hard time looking for the place again.


An entrance fee of p20 per head for adults  will be paid and free for children. The Botanical Garden showcases different gardens such as sunken garden, medicinal garden, shade garden, fragrance garden, Chinese garden and etc. The landscaping was very nice and well maintained also. When you go around the place you make sure to keep your stamina ready, as you will go up and down the different gardens.



They also have an aviary, which housed few animals like monkeys and birds of different species.

We didn’t go that far and climb up the trek because it was so humid that time and the place was full of mosquitoes. My nanny forgot to bring the anti-mosquito for my little boy. 

Before going home we enjoyed few swings at the children’s garden, which is located near the entrance.

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...
