Every Mom's Page

  It's been a year of sharing with you the things that inspire me and keep me going. To be honest, I never thought I will make it to a year of blogging. I was not that so serious when I started this blog. Until after few months, I learned to enjoy what I do and it has become my outlet to express things and share different topics with my readers. I can get to interact with my readers and I am glad to receive a good feedback with the high page views I receive each day. I have to admit it, my English grammar is not that good that is why I am pleased that there are people who spends time flipping pages of my blog.   It's a milestone for me and I am very excited to give you good news. I know most of blog readers love giveaways just like me! So, I am celebrating my first year Blog Anniversary with a giveaway. YeeeY!

Part of my skincare routine that I never skip on doing everyday is cleanse, tone and moisturize. I always make sure to do this twice a day. To achieve a good and healthy looking skin, this routine is a must. I actually have regular products which I use for few months when I received a set of skin care products from Godiva. And s ince I have been so curious to try Godiva's facial wash, toner and facial cream, I used it straightaway! I wanna know how this products can help improve my skin's current condition. My Skin Needs Help!! My current skin condition is a bit upsetting. Summer gets my face all oily and makes annoying blisters and zits appear here, there and everywhere! Oh golly please please be good to me, summer! How can I enjoy Summer when you are making my face miserable, huhu. Its like my skin absorbs all the humid even I stay all day long inside my bedroom. I need skin care products that could help me survive the summer months.

A girl's makeup is never complete without any lip product on. I remember, I was in 4th year high school when I started using lipstick. I was too conscious about my upper lip, which is noticeably darker and only lipsticks can cover it up. That is how my love for lipsticks commenced. Just in time that I am looking to try new brands of matte lipsticks when   Fiametta sent me two of their new best selling Bella Dolce Matte Lipsticks in the shades Like Kim and Like Taylor. Yehey!

  I can say that I am a meticulous mom when it comes to choosing on what kind of products to use for my kids  since their skin are quite sensitive, prone to allergies and easily reacts to any product that has harsh chemicals.  I always make sure my kids get enough care they deserve also by using products that are made especially for kids and babies' delicate skin. One of my tested, trusted and recommended brand is Mustela. Mustela products are not only for babies but also for toddlers and even for preschoolers. 

It has been 12 months since I started my venture as a WAHM. I had a lot of ups and downs but I am glad I surpassed a year of challenge and enjoyment. CHALLENGE because working at home is never easy for a mom like me with two kids, however I still managed to cope with it for the sake of my family. Just learn to follow the flow if you cannot control it.  ENJOYMENT because I get to earn while at home. Who never enjoys being your own boss. I can get to enjoy my kids and my work all at the same time.  I remember, I started this blog to help moms like me to gather ideas on different ways o how to earn online. If you have all the resources like computer and internet connection, why not make it profitable. How does an additional income sounds?

I love visiting different pages and websites to look for recipe ideas. I am actually trying my best to learn more recipes for my family. I am slowly learning, I have made several recipes which I will also share here on my blog soon. I need to learn more about food presentation first, lol. Internet is a big help for me  especially when the food looks tempting, it makes me drool and prepare  it as well. I am so glad that I finally realized that I needed to learn the moves in the kitchen, haha. Before, I don't even know how to slice veggies and I was quite unfamiliar with kitchen tools. Please don't think I came from a luxurious life because I did not. I just happened to exposed myself at work in a very early age that all that I wanted to do while growing up is to make ways on how to earn moolah. to help support myself on school expenses. That has made me no time to sit on the kitchen and help my mom do the cooking. Okay, is that really an excuse? lol. Please be considerate.*

Everyday is a busy day for mommies like me. I sometimes wish I have a magical power to extend my 24 hours to 28 or more so I will be able to do all things I needed to do everyday. As always, it seems a lot to do but so little time. So when it comes to pampering myself, it is very seldom to have a single hour of ME time. What I do in a day full of activities, I dedicate few minutes for my skin care regimen. I have my morning and night skin care routine which sums up to a total of 30 minutes and another 10 minutes for my makeup. So when I was chosen to be one of the partner mommy bloggers by Godiva to review more of their products, I told myself it's very timely. I am on the look of new skin care products to try. Something that could cope up with a busy mommy life. I hope their products work on my skin, cross fingers. They sent me different Godiva products to try. 

During the summer, you can’t afford to waste a lot of water with your lawn sprinklers in Arlington. Not only is water hard to come by during the hot summer months, watering your lawn incorrectly is also a good way to waste a lot of money. Have your Hydro-Tech irrigation systems installed by a company who knows how to make the most out of your sprinklers, and learn how to save water throughout the summer.

  For the very first time this year, we both have made it up until after 2 movies. It's not like a milestone to celebrate but that means a lot to me and to hubby. We challenged each other the first one to fall asleep before we finished the two movies will get to do all the house chores the next day while the other one will have his/her ME TIME! Well we don't actually thought much about the challenge because we both enjoyed the movies, it's just sometimes it happens that we don't agree on the same movies, so the other one ended up snoring before we reached the mid part of the second movie.

  A newborn's skin is very sensitive. It needs all the protection it needs and ofcourse as a mom, we need to choose the best product that won't harm and dries out our baby's delicate skin while maintaining it clean. We should use hypo-allergenic and dermatologically-tested products. Mustela helps assure moms that we only give the right product with right formulation for our babies from birth. 

Yeah the title may be too harsh, lol. Although, it's almost the same thing. :D Well, today is Saturday and it's my day off. But while everyone at nap time on this warm gloomy afternoon, I sneak on my computer just to check my mails and facebook messages. I had enough good sleep last night, it's the best sleep I had for this year yet. A straight 8 hours of sleep, except for those short moments that I have to breastfeed my youngest then, down again. So for today, that is the main reason I feel energized and alive.

One of my New Year's resolution is to support anything that is made from natural ingredients. These days, organic products are being patronized by more people. Simply because more and more are now aware that these organic products are economical and much safer since it has more natural ingredients. But just a clarification, not all products who claims organic are 100% made of natural ingredients. Some still have chemicals but not more than 10%. It pays to read the labels.

The average American family does hundreds of loads of laundry a year. That puts a lot of pressure on your washing machine, and you’ll find that after ten or fifteen years, it will start to show signs of breaking down. Although this can be an inconvenience, it’s a good time to upgrade to a new, more efficient model. Washing machine manufacturers are constantly renovating their designs so that the machines use less water and energy, while still cleaning even the dirtiest loads of laundry. Visit an appliance store or shop online for your new Garden City appliances so you can compare different types of washers and see which one is right for you.
