Couch Shopping
Back then, shopping was my favorite therapy whenever I’m bored and depressed. I would shop for clothes, accessories, shoes and bags like there’s no tomorrow. But times have changed, shopping for me now could mean buying cans of infant formula, diapers, cereals and clothes and shoes for my two little girls — and it brings so much pleasure to me than buying things for myself.
Last week, we went “shopping” in PureGold BF Homes in Paranaque. Quite far, right? That’s how crazy we are LOL Anyway, as we were climbing up the stairs, mini sofas caught my fancy. They were so cute, some were made of synthetic leather but the hubby said that they would need a good leather furniture conditioner. He said that we’re better off with compact ones that would serve as chairs and bins for other things as well.
I was thinking about the wooden type ones that I see in the salons, computer cafes. They’re way, way better and multi-functional, just not baby-friendly.
For a small place like ours, we really have to maximize the space so all out things would fit.
St. Peter Life Plan
Perhaps, planning a funeral is one of the morbid situations that a person can do but nowadays, planning one’s funeral is wise and very practical. We all know how expensive it is to die. Just imagine the cost of burial services, the expensive burial grounds and the everyday expenses of the family during that time. So should we add another burden to our family while they are mourning? No, of course.
This is why I am planning to purchase a life plan from St. Peter as early as now. Bet I already started late as I am already turning 32 this year.
St. Peter has various plans, for sure, one will fit your budget. For more info, please visit: http://www.stpeter.com.ph

Pampered Momma in La Reine Nail and DaySpa
It one of those days when all I wanted to do was run away from home, pamper myself to the max and enjoy being me. Every mom I know out there would want to have this simple luxury yet I know (take it from me!) no sane mom would want to break the household budget for a day of pampering, right? Unless of course you have that extra budget. But for moms like me who knows nothing but to streeeeeeeeetch whatever there is to stretch, we always think twice about extra expenses like this.
This is the same concern that prompted Ms. Grace Barrios to put up La Reine Nail and DaySpa. They cater to moms who deserve that much needed pampering but are afraid to shell out a lot of money. Right, common moms like me! 
So along with my sister Saydie of Manila Catwalk and mommy friends Iris, Levy and Olga, we visited La Reine Nail and DaySpa in Cubao
Who would have thought that there is a girl-haven like this in Cubao? The place was very cozy and in colors any girl would love — PURPLE! I am very particular with the cleanliness of salons especially spas and La Reine passed with flying colors, even the staff’s uniform were neat and they were friendly, too
Footspa = Happiness!
La Reine Nail and DaySpa offers a lot of services for your skin, nails and body suited for every budget. Their hand and feet services ranges from P50 – P200, various massages from P80 – P299, waxing from P100 – P250 (they do Brazilian waxing too!) Eyelash Extension from P200 – P400 (they did mine and it was really, really awesome!), Paraffin Treatment fromP200 – P450.
Just add P30 to get hand-painted nails like these!
The eyelash extension was a first for me but they made the experience worth it really nice and well-trained staff.
They used No. 8 natural lashes on me.
sooo natural!
Mommies, if you need some pampering without breaking your budget, visit La Reine Nail and DaySpa in Cubao. We work so hard for our families and a we all deserve a little over P500 worth of pampering from time to time.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned about being a mom, it’s to take care of myself so I can take care of my family more. This should apply to all moms, too!

Fight Pimples with Garnier Pure Active
If you are one of my avid readers, you would know how much I love Garnier. I posted about it here, here and here. My trust with Garnier developed through the years and up until now, I am still a Garnier user. It’s one of the reasons why I lost all my zits and its marks.
No zits, hello self-confidence!
Recently, Garnier launched their latest products the Garnier Pure Active multi-action scrub and pimple roll-on to address the 6 skin problems: pimples, whiteheads, oiliness, enlarged pores, impurities and uneveness.
Both the scrub and the roll-on contains two natural ingredients known to fight pimple: salicylic acid concentration at 2% and Natural HerbaRepair . The former is a powerful antibacterial component which controls oil and clears blocked pores while the latter evens out skin texture and repairs marks.
What’s most amazing about these products is that they’re both readily available in beauty stores at very affordable prices. So when you feel that a pimple is coming, wash the worry off with Garnier Pure Active multi-action scrub and pimple roll-on!
Georgina Wilson for Garnier Pure Active
Together with the gorgeous Ms. Georgina Wilson, Garnier encourages every Filipina woman to become aware with their skin, to at least know their skin type and the RIGHT products that put on their faces.
One good thing about the Garnier Pure Active range is that it is safe fore everyone, pregnant or not, teenagers and moms, and professionals or not.
Personally, I love Garnier and so would you. So for your beautiful face, trust only Garnier <3
The Sims are back!
This time via social networking site Facebook! I remember back in 2004when I used to spend countless days and nights playing this online game. My mom would reprimand me as I no longer sleep, my usual daily routine was play Sims, watch Smallville and play Room for Squares all day.
So this is what’s happening to my little girl now…she’s playing The Sims Social using multiple accounts. Should I worry?
Personalized Creations, lezgoooow!
I have long been a fan of Personal Creations and browsing their website became a habit already. But since I live faraway from the US of A, my habit of window shopping just remained a habit. Until my sister who graduated this year told me that her boyfriend from Oklahoma’s coming home!
Immediately we searched for awesome gift suggestions from Personal Creations and she fell in love with the personal creations heart keychain!
See that Baby Shoes Keychain? that’s what she got for herself hihihi, she got her name engraved and her birth date. Wise choice because for one, it’s so unique and second, it’s on sale!

Shopaholics like me are ALWAYS on a lookout for sales. Good thing, they’re almost in every mall every pay day. But you know what I hate most about these sales? Everyone knows about them and before I get there, somebody already has the item that I’ve been eyeing for so long. Wouldn’t it be better if there are private sales in Manila?

Fruit and Flower Basket for Moms this Mother’s Day!
I would love to receive something from my husband and daughter this Valentine’s day. What is it? That I don’t know.
For sure some would think that I would love to receive jewelry, gadgets or any high ticket item out there, but really, all I want is a simple gift from both of them. One or more mother’s day gift baskets (so I can give one to my mom and mother-in-law), perhaps?
Since I am 4 months preggers, I’d gladly say YES to gift baskets full of fruits. It’s fresh and healthy for baby and me plus they’re readily available in supermarkets and online.
