Another backlog which I wanted to share with you although I feel it is kinda late because it is supposed to be up last Christmas. One of the yummy treats I received last December is this delicious sandwich spread from Tita Vickie. Tuna Spread and Cheese Pimiento.

This is one of my kiddos fave juice drink at the moment. My son who is in his 3rd grade loves to eat nata de coco which is also present at this juice drink. To be honest, this is the first ever bottled juice drink I know that you get to chew nata de coco while enjoying your juice.  Mogu-mogu is a product of Thailand. I like the adorable smiley face at the cap of the bottle, hahah it looks cute!

The three main factors we consider when buying shoes are quality, comfort and price. Me and my toddler went to pick up new shoes for him and for his big brother in Trinoma earlier this month. At the 3/F you'll find this very child friendly shoe store, Meet My Feet.

Pasta can never be absent in a pantry of a home who everyone loves pasta dishes. We are certified pasta lovers and there is not a week passed that we don't enjoy pasta together. One of the pasta brands we love is El Real Pasta. " EL REAL’s special quality pasta retains the richness of your pasta sauce allowing you to savor every mouthful! " - El Real's Facebook Page What makes it different from other pasta brands, it is relatively affordable which nearly all mommies in a budget like me preferably look for. El Real pasta is easy to cook and very firm. It cooks up nicely and has a smooth texture. I don't really like mushy pasta because it doesn't tastes that good. El Real Pasta tastes like pasta should, one of the best tasting pasta we ever tried. It makes our every pasta recipe very scrumptious. One of the best pasta choices in our local market.

One of my fave brands of lipstick is Colour Collection. The first time I tried their lipstick was last year when I got the chance to get from Sample Room. Here's the review of my first ever Color Collection Lipsticks, CLICK HERE . One of the lines they released last year is the Color Collection Lip Perfection Lipstick with Argan Oil. I almost freaked out when I saw Sample Room was giving out samples of this new line. I wanna fret for not getting more than one but still, I am lucky enough because I was able to score even just ONE.

As my children grows up, they develop different potentials. That is why I never stop from trying new products to best suit their changing needs. Now I would like to share my review about my newly discovered baby product, White Dove. This is not new in the market, I have seen several mommies using this to their kids but this is just the first time I let my son tried this. I chanced upon this brand of baby products when I was with group of mommy friends. Some of them recommended to try White Dove brand for my toddler. Just a little background about this product, White Dove is a quality product of Personal Collection. I ended up buying White Dove baby powder and baby shampoo because he still has a lot of body wash, soaps and other baby supplies to consume.

I know mommies can relate to those super busy and hectic days that you just can't find time and even energy to cook. On times like this, I rely on food delivery service in my area from different fastfood chains for faster and effortless food to serve. However, I only have limited access to fastfood chains delivery service and their foods are a little boring at times. Finally, I was introduced to Foodpanda PH . FoodPanda is an online delivery portal that makes it easier for customers to order from the best restos in the country and have it delivered to their homes. They cater to about 160 restaurants in Manila, Makati, Mandaluyong, Quezon City, and many more. Using FoodPanda is quick and easy. All you just have to do is to follow 4 Easy steps. 

When it comes to taking care of my skin, I always look up to my mom. She is the most vain granny you'll ever know, hahah. Her skin and face doesn't look her age because her skin has been properly taken care of eversince she was teenager. She started early on proper skin care routine and stick to it to maintain a naturally healthy and young looking skin.  I always wish my skin is like hers, if only I listened to her and as patient as her to maintain proper skin care routine,  sigh .  No, she has never been to any facial center or spa because she really don't like the idea of spending that much when the costs can already buy the skin care products she has been using for years.

I make sure I always have an antibacterial like alcohol or hand sanitizer within reach all the time. When I am at my office, I usually use alcohol. But when I go out and I need an antibacterial with me to put in my bag, I don't really go for ordinary alcohol because sometimes it leaks and mess all my stuff. I cannot go out without my antibacterial because when you are outside, commuting going to malls and public places, your hands tend to gather germs and most of the time you don't have the chance to wash your hands because water is not always accessible. So one of my staple is this Hygienix Anti-Bacterial Hand Spray.

Our family loves eating breads and buns everyday. Sometimes I bore my kids to my own made sandwich spread, now that's a confession made *sigh* . So we are always open to explore for new and delicious alternatives! As I was typing this blog post, one of my family's new fave to fill in their buns is this super yummy peanut butter.

One of the booths that I had a chance to hopped in during the Blogapalooza event was the booth of BioEssence. I registered and the very accommodating staff gave me a gift certificate for a free massage which I was not able to use because I got too busy eversince that I no longer had free day to take advantage of that awesome pampering treat. I kind of feel sorry about myself, actually.

As most of my readers know, I have been trying different organic products for a year now and I would love sharing to my readers all my humble opinion and personal experiences. One of the organic soaps I have consumed the past months is this Mir & Ryvi Banana Soap . It is a spot lightening beauty bar made of organic ingredients. This was the first time I tried using banana soap so I was so curious and excited to see the effects on my skin.

We all know that ampalaya has a lot of health benefits. Ampalaya fruit and leaves are great sources of beta carotene, calcium, Vitamin B, phosphorus, and iron. It is also widely used as herbal medicine for liver problems.

Physical mommy activities at home added by pressure at work results to stress. That's just one of few that I normally experience on a daily basis, and there are actually more that also sums up to stress as well. At times, I stop and listen to music or watch movies online to reduce the stress but that is just for some sort of short hours then the stress strikes back again. And when my head hits pillow, I constantly think about how I will manage to survive another jam-packed day soonest I woke up.

I have already posted how I love my Body Scrub from the brand Zenutrients . Now, its time for me to reveal another product I am raving from this brand.

Product:  Zenutrients Soothing Green Tea Body Butter Price:  Php234 for 100g / Php390 for 300g What it claims: Nature's antioxidant soothe and moisturizes dry skin .

I have been trying out different acne products because as all of my regular readers know, this stressed momma has been suffering from acne problem for the past 7 months. I never like popping zits because it may developed into scars afterwards. However, sometimes they pop themselves which leave pimple marks which is also my current problem. Today, I would like to update you about my current skin condition and what products I currently use.

I know complete nutrition is the key for my kids to stay strong and away from sickness. That is why I make sure to serve them nutritious foods everyday. However, we still need a help of Vitamins we can get from food supplements to make sure they are getting the sufficient vitamins they need for their age and capacity. For the past three months, my two kids have been changing food supplements. I used to always request our Pedia to change my kid's food supplements right after they got sick. Lately, they are very prone to cough and sinusitis. I can no longer count how many times it happened that my kiddos woke up with cough or runny nose.

Dengue is a viral disease one can get from a mosquito bite. It is pretty known here in Philippines how one person can get the disease and how worst it can get. There is always high number of Dengue victims during rainy season. These mosquitoes often breed in stagnant waters which everyone should become aware of. Our health is important so you should be aware that prevention is always better than cure. To secure my family from this scary disease, I make sure to perform cleanliness not only inside our home but also the surroundings. Make sure there is no breeding habitat anywhere inside and outside your home or even in most visited places.
