In short, it is safe to use even for sensitive skin. My skin loves anything organic, because it promotes healthier skin. I have used up a lot of products from different brands. All of them did not result to negative skin reaction.

I love body scrubs, infact I have tried a lot from different brands already. I like how my skin feels moisturized and clean after exfoliating. It is essential to exfoliate our skin atleast once a week to remove dead skin. I remember, I did a product review on some of them. This time, I tried an all-natural salt scrub from Jarful of Goodness.

Colds and flu is very common during rainy season, so I always make sure I am equipped with the best get well products we need.  We can usually feel when cold is about to take place, it starts in your head. Even we don't want it, the cold weather triggers cough, colds and sinusitis. In times like this, I always make sure I am ready.  In my family, once I notice sudden change in voice that may lead to throat infection,sneezing or a mild cough, I already take steps to prevent from getting worse.

Those moments I will never regret even it caused me sagging skin and stretch marks in some parts of my body. Those stretch marks likewise substantiate my love and how much I am willing to endure for my children. I don’t know about others, but it really makes me feel appreciated to know that there are brands who know what moms like me have gone through and develop a product which helps improve appearance of scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, ageing skin and even dehydrated skin.

I was surprised to receive a parcel from Aloe Derma, early this year after participating in their survey. Imagine a wide smile when I opened the parcel and saw this Aloe Pure Aloe Vera Gel which is 99% organic. To be perfectly honest, I really find joy in trying different organic products and sharing my experience, thoughts and honest opinion to everyone.  Let me get it straight first, not all organic products I tried worked on me, on the other hand, nothing caused me allergic reactions.  Okay, back to my review, so I checked the box of this Aloe Pure Aloe Vera Gel and I got absolutely amazed to the multiple uses of this product.

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 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.

I was hoping this product will help.

Sunscreen protection is something I make sure me and my family wear every time we go out in the sun. Even it's not sunny outside, I guess it has become my routine.

So I know it is 100% safe and that is what moms would love to use for their kids.

I kind of feel sorry about myself, actually.
