Nivea Baby Moisturizing Lotion #ProductReview

Image
My youngest child's skin has become very sensitive mid last year and easily gets dry. He gets redness even he stays inside our home. That condition had me worry so much. I decided to change his skin care products including the soap, talc and lotion. Maybe, any of his regular skin care products doesn't suit his skin's needs anymore. For his lotion, I ended up giving him Nivea Baby Moisturizing lotion for his sensitive skin. Nivea Baby Moisturizing lotion is hypo-allergenic and clinically tested. I personally love Nivea skin care products since this is the brand I have been using lately for my skin as well.

I work full-time in my home based job which demands 24/7 flexible internet access. On some occasions I am not home and need to check my emails or do some work related updates, I only use limited phone data. I find using phone data a nuisance, because I only get limited internet access for the day instead of the unlimited access I paid for. I don't know how that happens but that's how it goes. The versatility and flexibility of a pocket WiFi is what I need so I asked friends on recommendations which one I should get. Most of my friends recommend to use SmartBro pocket WiFi . I was told it got great internet connection which they use even outdoor. I never think twice because this is going to be an investment I will be able to use on a daily basis even I am home since it can be used in my desktop as well.

2nd Planner: New Planner Layout

For the second week of February, I decided to use this inserts from nina.and.belle shop of IG. I use this for work, social media accounts and personal while my DIY notebook planner will be for my blog and finances.

I have used almost the same layout before with my DIY spiral notebook planner update and it worked perfectly. It's just when I realized the space was not enough so I decided to use additional planner to separate work, social media accounts and personal from blogs, daily devotion and finances.
