Months before I gave birth, I have been skipping on washing my hair for days or even a week. I felt that too much washing has been the cause of its dryness and losing its natural oil. At first, I was quite hesitant to try it until I realized that it has been healthy this way. So the shampoo has been sitting in the loo for weeks untouched and I use it only when needed. Afterall, I rarely go out to make it accumulate too much dirt.  Three months after I gave birth, the hairfall has been a major problem. Due to hormonal factors, my hair became extremely dry which c auses the tugging when combed as well as the inevitable hairfall.  So I have been really careful which products to use to my locks. I wouldn't want to resort to getting my hair rebonded since the hair growth from previous postpartum hairfall is only halfway down the length of my hair. When we went shopping on one of the duty free malls in Clark, I saw one product that intrigued me. Honestly, it was the ...

Lately, I am getting addicted to skin care products aside from make up. One thing that I cannot live without now are my skin care essentials because I must admit, I am not getting any young. In addition to that, I also look for skin care products which are also affordable especially to SAHMs like me.  This brand has been in the market already for a long time but it was only now that I get to try this. Believe me when I say, I am tad lazy to put face masks before but now that I made a pledge to myself, I will do it more often this time. This product is interesting because the name itself is promising. 2 minute Whitening Miracle? Sounds promising right?  The sachet contains 8ml of product and very space saving for someone who has a lot of skin care products in their stash.  How to use it: Apply the cloudy gel like product on a dry clean face. Apply it enough to cover my face not too thick nor too thin avoiding the eye area. After two minutes the pr...

My daughter is fond of Dinosaurs and animals and any weird stuff I can think of. Well, I probably would like to perceive it in a good way since I expect for a girl to love anything girly. When her birthday was drawing near, I thought of satisfying her fantasy and take her to the Dinosaurs Island. They have two locations, one is in Baguio and the other one is in Pampanga. I initially thought of Baguio since I miss the cold weather there but it was almost Penagbenga/Flower festival already. We hate being stuck in traffic so we decided to go to Pampanga instead. It will be double fun since we also planned to take them to Ocean Adventure that I will bog on a separate entry. Dinosaurs Island is located behind one of the parks in Mabalacat, Pampanga. It is easy to go there if you know your way with Google Map which makes it easy to travel these days. Their park is also a favorite itenerary of school tours and I am glad that my children get to visit them with us. Mini museum p...

So I had my Korean fix at Althea Philippines, which I have raved about it from my post here. All my expectations for the products that I got were not that much but I must say that I was really impressed by most of it. One of which is the Nature Republic Aloe Gel. Without having any idea what it does to me, I simply ordered it because its Aloe Vera and I don’t have any Aloe Vera yet on my stash. Crazy reasoning but I didn’t know it was raved by most of the youtubers! It is basically an Aloe Vera gel in a tub with lots of uses like an all in one product for the body. A few weeks prior to my Althea haul, I was really experiencing erythyma on my tummy. I was scratching it like crazy and I was worried that my stretchmarks will get irritated and further cause problem. My skin was dry and I was out of lotion as well and I am itching to try something new. Mind you, it was really worth it. The product comes in a gel consistency and is cold to touch. When applied to the skin, it gi...

At this very moment, my son is lying on my chest since it is the only position that gives comfort since he was cranky all day. My head is spinning and I feel so lightheaded already from sleep deprivation. I don't understand why It feels like I am back to square one where in fact, he is already my third child.  Now I began to wonder what other first time mommies out there would feel few days/weeks/months post partum. Most people would rejoice because yes, it really feels good to have a new baby but probably nobody told them how hard it will be when the sleepless nights starts to kick in.  To all the first time mommies out there, hang in there. We shared the same road once and I tell you, it wasn't easy but it will pass. Life is good.  Most probably right now, you can't figure out what next move you will do as everything just seemed to be chaos and painful and messy. I feel you, I have been there before. But I am glad I carefully learned from ...
