#PlannerSeries #Planner2016 #PlannerPh I love to jot down notes and stuff ever since elementary days and had been using spiral notebooks. But when I started working ten years ago, I switched to planners, those generic ones available in National Books Store until last year.  I need a planner to keep my life organized, track things down, combine all my note taking and planning into one system.  Its quite hard not having a planner because I blog, work full time as Virtual Assistant and I'm a full-time mom so a planner is really handy to schedule all my tasks and effectively perform them all.  Sometimes I tend to forget deadlines, important payments, etc because my brain clog at times for I perform endless tasks a day. If that happens, I just look at my planner to get back to track. This year, I never plan to buy new planner, instead I thought to just create one. I am saving up for a lot of things so I crossed out buying a new planner to my list. My hubby offered to buy me o

Everyday can be the busiest day for a mom but you need to still look good even how rhapsodic or fussy your day can get. When you look good, you feel great about yourself. And like a domino effect, your positive mood will reflect in everything you do. I asked ten moms on what are the six must-haves in their make-up bags and I came up a list of top 6 products based from their answers.

How do you keep small items in your home? Specially if it is something you don't get to use on everyday basis and its too small to keep on your drawers. I always avoid small items like pins and clips clutter anywhere in the house so it wont end up missing the next time I need it. Also, having these small items lying around  is never good when you have kids or pets are around. 

Just one cute idea on how to bring your character to your office space or just to spice up your office or school supplies. I made a DIY Ribbon Paper Clips which can be used as planner accessory or bookmarks. I have actually seen this kind of paper clips being sold in etsy and ebay, but why buy when you can just do it yourself, ayt?! That way, you can customize it the way you like to make it more personalized, if that even makes sense. :)

Happy January to all! How was the start of your year? I hope you all had a blast! The holidays got my wallet almost half empty, lol. Ofcourse its totally fine since my family really had a joyful and memorable Christmas and New Year celebrations.  As always, I start off my year with goals in terms of Financial, Relationship, Spiritual, and Career. Talking about Financial Goals, I have already seen a bunch of 52-week Money Challenge blog posts even from last year, so for this year I decided to join the bandwagon. This is one best way to save money throughout the year. This is also part of my New Year's Resolution for my family so I have money to buy them clothes for Christmas at the end of the year. Or I can add the money saved for our holiday celebrations.

One great way to start 2016 is treat yourself a new hair color! It has been more than a year since I last dyed my hair. The current state of my hair is dry and the split ends are showing so bad so coloring it may reduce the visibility of my hair problem. I went and got myself this Kolours Dual Conditioning Hair Color in Shanghai Mahogany. I never think twice in this brand since I have already tried it and the color was preserved for a long time.

One of my biggest fears is when my kids catch cough and cold. I wish there is a way to pass it from them to me for the sake of them to feel better. God knows I am very careful in everything I serve just to prevent them from getting sick yet there are really things a mom have no control over. So if anything happens, I keep myself ready and give proper attention soonest I notice any health problem just before it gets worse.
