When Argan Oil has become popular last year, I belong to those who really eager to try the wonders of it. It took a while for me to score a bottle of argan oil since it is a bit pricey. Why I need it? Having a very dry skin and hair during extreme weather, an argan oil is reckoned to help me get through those times. The part of my body which the paucity of moisture is in highest demand are my feet. First time in my existence that average callus has formed in my feet  together with intense dryness that resulted to cracked heels. I must admit, it has made a slight fall off my self-confidence that I got shy of going to footspa and even wearing flip-flops because it shows off my feet.

I couldn’t understand why a child would need a playroom when they had their bedroom to stash their toys in. But now I am a mommy myself, I understand just how many toys children have - far too often, my house resembles an exploded toy factory. Even if you have the best storage solutions in your child’s bedroom, it doesn't stop them from turning your house upside down, in a few seconds flat. While some kids are happy to play in their bedrooms, I have learned from experience with my son, that he likes to be downstairs near me.

And while pregnancy is a beautiful experience, it’s easy to get down about your post-pregnancy figure. Perhaps you dislike your new mommy body? Maybe you don’t seem to curve in the right places anymore? Perhaps you just want to be able to fit back into your favorite pair of non-maternity jeans? Whatever is worrying you about your post-pregnancy figure, try not to stress about it.

Ideally, you want to create a space that is beautiful, comfortable, practical and safe all at the same time. But I know that balancing all these components is not easy.

Here are my tips for creating a practical and beautiful nursery for your newborn.

Those empty jars from your mayonnaise or spreads are some of those I don't consider as trash. I always love collecting them since it can be upcycled and turn it into a chic storage like what I just did.  I have actually filmed a video on how I did this DIY project , unfortunately, it got deleted along with other important videos in my SD card. I hope the photos are helpful enough to see how I upcycled this cute DIY storage jar. 

As a mom, I feel that I made the right choice to breastfeed my son from birth until now that he just turned two years old. I know nothing about breastfeeding when I was starting and there were no one in the know to advice and guide me on what to do. I just learned by my own, and from some info which I read and watched online and in television. I love sharing my own experience as a full time BF mom to my fellow mommies. I have written several blog posts about breastfeeding and the benefits it gives not only to mommies but also to babies. Now, I would like to share some tips in breastfeeding which I also learned from my own experience to help mommies out through their own journey to breastfeeding.

There is no denying that the color black fits both categories of warm and cool skin toned. As what most popular fashion designers always say, " Black is the color that goes with everything. If you're wearing black, you're on sure ground ."  I barely catch sight of black bridesmaids gowns in weddings I have attended so when I have seen weddings with the bridesmaids wearing black gowns, I admired black gowns so bad. Black bridesmaid gowns are nothing but elegance and sophistication. Just a quick trivia, started way back in the old century, black is the color that generally associated with elegance in Europe and the US.

Thinning hair and hair loss that leads to baldness are some of the common hair problems for men and women. This hair problems could cause by different factors such as hereditary, health problems, poor diet, Radiation therapy, hair treatments or a result of overall aging process. As we all know, baldness is more common to males and some men hit it even before they turn 40 and it really it really doesn't feel good. Whatever causes the hair loss and thinning of hair, it affects most people at some point in their day-to-day lives.

For a caffeine person like me, one best way to start the day is to start with a cup of coffee. Why not make your cup more personalized? Pretty interesting, isn't it?  Or maybe you just wanna cheer up your partner in the morning, bring him or her a cup of coffee/tea with a personalized message on his/her mug. That will surely bring a smile on anyone's face :).  This is just a simple DIY project you can do with your kids and it can also be a perfect gift for any occasion.

I was  not aware that my favorite local cosmetic brand, Ever Bilena also offers skin care products like lotion until I stumbled upon a brochure of Ever Bilena products from an SA. It's nice to see that they also have the Citronella lotion, so I bought one right away. If you have been reading my blog, you know that I am scared of mosquito bites. I have reviewed few mosquito repellent lotions in the past. This lotion comes very handy wherever we are since I am fond of applying lotion for skin protection. This lotion is very affordable, you can get a 100ml full lotion product for only P60. Still a steal for a budget conscious mom like me. 

Whenever I say ' it's painting time ', my toddler gets giddy all the time. It's obviously one of his favorite activities. I let my toddler play his paints independently. He picks the color he likes, that's how I learned he loves blue, violet and green.

Nivea is one of my favorite brands of skin care products. I also like their baby products. And for those of you who are a fan of Nivea like me, you must go to your nearest grocery stores because Nivea is having 50% off on all their products Nationwide until May 9, while supplies last! No deal can be better than this, expect me to take advantage of the moment! It only happens once in a blue moon, so I head out to the nearest Puregold in my area and ended up picking up a lot of stuff.

I always look towards discovering new organic products because they are safe and don't harm my skin. Today, I would like to a review about my latest organic product discovery which I am not sure if you have already heard about. Nature Essentials sent me one of their best selling products, Maracuja Oil to try. My face is very dry at the moment and I need a product to help moisturize my skin and makes my skin looks healthy. I was hoping this product will help.
