I Finally Got Skinny!


Yay, I finally got skinny!!!

Ooops! Before all of you raise your brows, or before anyone of you give those questioning looks, I am gonna make my statement clear this early on - am definitely not referring to my body (although, I really hope so!). Hahahhaa....

So what am I really talking about?! It is my new wallet from Big Skinny Philippines


After having a lot of thinking and considerations ( mainly, financial), I have finally decided to give in to my heart's desire! The fact that my newly unboxed wallet turned out to be peeling already due to long storage also helped me in coming up with this decision (parang ang bigat lang ng kailangang pagdesisyunan! lol). I GUESS this was also a sign for me to finally try the Big Skinny wallet (Yes, lusot!)

My current wallet.

Big Skinny Philippines

So, I head on to check out the available designs from Big Skinny Philippines website and to my surprise, they are on sale! What a really nice timing! :) 


After browsing through their site, I finally decided  on this product - the Executive Graphite Cobble (EGC). I really like its unique yet simple print. I love the color too! Go, check out for yourself! 

Executive Graphite Cobble


Executive Graphite Cobble





Checking out is very easy too as they also offer cash on delivery option, so there's no need to worry if you do not have any credit card or paypal account. Delivery is very fast too! Just two days after my I post my order, it was already delivered on our doorstep! Ambilis!

Big Skinny wallets are made of Nylon Microfiber which is 10X thinner and lighter compared to leather, thus, ensuring that you will no longer have to worry about having bulky wallets from now on. The extra wide, non-slipped coated pockets can hold 3 to 5 cards each enabling it to accommodate around 30-40 plastic cards. Dirt is not a problem too as this wallet is tough enough to be machine washed!

From its original price of P2,250.00, I got the EGC for only P1,750.00. That's P500.00 off! Definitely a great deal!

Here are the features of the Executive Graphite Cobble as indicated in their website:

- 2 general billfold areas
- 8 extra-wide credit card pockets
- 2 extra-wide clear ID/credit card pockets
- 1 sturdy little magnetic snap
- 1 exterior gusseted zippered coin pocket
- dimensions: 7 1/2" wide x 3 1/2" tall (19.3 cm x 9 cm)
- only 3/3" (7mm) thin when closed!


Inside of the wallet.

Big Skinny Wallet vs. My Old Wallet

So here it is, for our comparison! Totoo nga bes, slim na slim pa rin ang Big Skinny Wallet! I will definitely be skinny for life - in terms of wallet choices, that is! :)

The gift of healthy 'crowning glory' fit for the queen this Mother's Day



Mother's Day

Mother's day is just around the corner. Actually, it will be tomorrow! :) And no matter how CLICHÉ it may be, we really cannot deny the fact that there’s indeed a woman behind the person that we are today. And that’s no less than our mother, our nanay, inay, ‘nay, mama, mommy or mom!  How we really call them doesn't really matter. It doesn't changed the fact that she deserves more than any material things that this world has to offer given the pivotal role that she fulfils in rearing us from childhood to adulthood and possibly for the rest of our lives. Mothers just doesn't stop caring and loving!

There may be opposing beliefs whether that greater maternal instinct is biologically predetermined   or   socially   imposed,   I think that everyone   would   agree   that   a   mother   is hardwired to love and care about  the welfare of the whole family, especially her children, 24/7. For better or worse, it’s always the general well-being of her family which is on top of her priority. That is why it is no wonder that she’s an epitome of a doting human being that touches everybody’s life. So, given all her loving contributions in our life,  it’s just but right to honor and return to her all the favors that she has done for us. And there is definitely no other perfect moment to do this than on Mother’s Day.

Gift Ideas

Still thinking of ways and/or ideas on how to treat that special woman in our lives? You can actually opt for the basics of gift-giving,  from simple trinkets to expensive items but just bear in mind that your appreciation of her cannot really be equated by the tag price of your present. It’s the thought that counts, always remember that! :) 

But just to give you some ideas, here are some of the possible gifts that you can give that superwoman in our lives:

Hankies

You may consider a set of hankies that will bring back the memory of her wiping out her tears of happiness upon knowing that she’s conceiving a li’l creature inside her womb. That’s you, of course. 

Comfy Clothes

A loose yet comfy clothes shall make her remember that sort of a duster or preggy dress she wore in the laborious yet exciting “nine months” of gestation. 
My mom definitely loves wearing a duster! It is what she prefers to wear everyday! 

Pillow

Why not a pillow that she could hug as tight as she embraced you after giving birth.

Brassiere

Or maybe   a  brassiere  for   protection of   the  very  bosom   she  fed  you  with  during infancy? 

Bed

A bed will bring to her mind your tot years when you started to crawl and roll over it freely. 

Shoes

Shoes are a girl’s best friend, too, like your mom. Either sky-high heels or flattering flats, there’s a pair to match every bit of her fantasy. For as long as it brings comfort to her feet, it's more than enough to reciprocate the ease you had when you took your first walk with her guidance back then. If it isn't her thing, though, a flip-flop will cause her to think that she also disciplined you through the proverbial “rule of slipper” hit on your buttocks while you were growing up.

Ring

Much to her delight, a bling ring will be worthy of your dear investment to show your deep appreciation of her just like when she never failed to recognize you with a pat on the back for simple good deeds or a job well done in your lifetime.

Aren't these gift ideas very sweet (nostalgic too)?! These will all definitely send her down the memory lanes... Pumped that sweetness even more by personalizing each item and you are definitely sure to put a big smile on her face and a tear or two down her eyes! Tears of joy! You see, they are never really hard to please! 

NOVUHAIR 3-IN-1 PACK

And the possible list of gift ideas can go on, and on..... But if you are still not convinced, I have another gift suggestion that will surely make our mothers happy - the NOVUHAIR 3-in-1 pack which includes the topical scalp lotion, herbal shampoo and conditioner. Yes, you read it right. All your hair's need in just one pack! 

NOVUHAIR 3-in-1 pack 
And to make it more personal and extra sweet, why   don’t   you the shampooing yourself?! 

Spray   a   liberal   amount   of  NOVUHAIR topical scalp lotion onto your mom’s scalp and massage it for five to ten minutes.You may not even know that with such a plain gesture of yours, it can melt her heart as it reminds her of the past when she used to do the same thing while you were still young, either as a trick to put you easily on a slumber or merely a relief every time you got sick. Those caressing hands of yours, likewise, imbibe your act of giving back the "natural care from mothers" like her.

Whatever impression it may have on her, what's tangible she could gain is that you're giving her nature's gift of health. NOVUHAIR Topical Scalp Lotion is so unique that it combines 19 natural herbs, essential oils and co-factor nutrients- all working synergistically to help address hair problems from growth to vanishing. This breakthrough product helps to rejuvenate, nourish and maintain the moist of her tress from root to tip, aids in stimulating the growth of her hair and helps prevent it from excessive falling, while improving the overall appearance.

So, what are you waiting for? Do not think twice any more and wrap this NOVUHAIR 3-in-1 pack as your Mother's Day present to help your mom bring "crowning glory" back to life! After all, she's the most important woman in your life. Hence, she deserves to be treated like a queen and to feel young and beautiful once again! :)

NOVUHAIR 3-in-1 pack is truly beyond compare. Head on to any Mercury Drug and other leading drug stores to get a dose  of nature's answer to hair loss. For inquiries, call 413-6570 or 0922-8830575, and visit www. novuhair.com for more promo announcements and exciting updates.

Again, Happy Mother's Day to all the loving moms out there! A special shout to dearest mother, of course! We may not have that much bonding time together these past few months (for some reasons which I need not divulge, hehehe), but in my heart, I will always be thankful to have you as my mom! I love you so much! :)

Sunshine & Citrus Bags

In one of my previous post, I have already confessed that I am an addict - a shoe addict, that is. :D 

But hey, my addiction doesn't just end there! I've got one more addiction which I cannot cure - BAGS, BAGS, BAGS and more BAGS! 

It started as early as when I am still in grade school. Whenever a bag caught my attention, I know I must really have that bag, no matter what! :D 

My fascination for bags continued even during my college days. And this even heightened when I was already working as I then have the purchasing power to buy every bag that my heart desires! Hahaha!!!

My addiction only lessened (this is the keyword - lessened only, not totally lost!) when I already became a mother. Change of priority, as they say. 

But now that my two daughters are no toddlers anymore, I'm back on my addiction! And I guess, I leveled up even more as now, I likewise have my two princesses to influence! :D Their into bags too! Now, I have two shopping buddies! :) Now, I feel less guilty whenever I do purchase a bag since I know that this can be of future use by my daughters too! ( sige, push pa! Justify pa more!) :)

But, what do I really look for in a bag? 

My first consideration is the size. I want to stash everything in just one bag! 

My 2nd consideration is quality and durability. The bag must be durable enough to carry all my things.

Next will be the price. It must really be affordable so as not to hurt the pocket. As a mom, I really need to keep everything within the budget. 

My last (but definitely not the least) consideration is the design. It must compliment my wardrobe and must fit the occasion I am going to. I do keep bags which goes well in formal events, and hip, trendy and more casual bags that are perfect for those out of town trips or even to a simple trip to the mall.

And I'm just glad to have stumbled upon this new line of bags - the Sunshine and Citrus bags!

Sunshine & Citrus bags is owned by student-entrepreneur, Gabby Suzara, and manufactured by Donna Mendiola-Gaddi.

Check out  all these designs. Who wouldn't love these bags?! Aren't they the prettiest?!

Andrea Floral Bags


Miraflor Whimsical


Miraflor Houndstooth


Assorted Martha Designs


Ady

But among the designs above, the Martha bag in floral design and the pink Miraflor in whimsical designs are my personal favorites! They both definitely met all my criteria in choosing a bag!

I really salute and admire the people behind this product line. At a very young age, they were already able to successfully put up this line.

But their entrepreneurial spirit doesn't just end there because now, Sunshine & Citrus also wanted to share their success. Sunshine and Citrus is offering everyone an opportunity to start their own bag business. For only Php 5,000, you can get 15 pieces of bags (Choose among Ady, Martha, Milaflor, and Andrea bags) which you can use to start your own business.

Endless fun under the Philippine Sun




                                                          





    


Who doesn't love a little fun in the sun? The beach can be a perfect way to spend the day and get some summer moments with your loved ones. Summer means sun, shorts, sandals, bathing suits, and bronzed skin. But with beach hair and shorter hemlines comes the dangers that not only instigate the probability of skin cancer, but the aging process as well. Sun exposure is, essentially, subjecting yourself to sun damage – but in the same note, avoiding the outdoors altogether is both impractical and nearly impossible.

Dermplus Moisturizing Sunblock is the answer to your skin problems this summer. It is formulated with unbeatable UVA and UVB filters to protect your skin in the harsh ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Dermplus sunblock physically blocks and reflects light and it also helps heal skin damage caused by over-exposure to the sun.  Dermplus Sunblock is available in different SPFs like SPF 24 that is recommended for morena skin and for indoor use, SPF 35 for fair skin and SPF 80 and 130 for extreme outdoor activities. Use Dermplus Moisturizing Sunblock and worry no more about the harmful Ultra Violet A(UVA) and Ultra Violet B (UVB) rays. Whether you will spend your summer in Boracay, Cebu, Palawan or in Bohol, never forget your number one sun defense partner. DermplusMoisturizing Sunblock is also trusted by Emilio “Chieffy” Caligdonga professional football player and the former team captain of the National Football Team. 

Dermplus Moisturizing Sunblock is available in all leading drugstores, supermarkets and department stores nationwide. For more information call 817 33 03 or like us on Facebook

My Nail-a-holics Experience

Those who have read my previous posts already knew that getting a pedicure is one of my way of pampering myself. But sadly, I wasn't able to have my pedi done for more than a month already since I was really busy the past few weeks. Thankfully, last Wednesday, I got the chance to visit Nail-a-holics! It was actually my first time to visit this salon although I have been hearing a lot about this chic place.

It was around past lunch time when I entered Nail-a-holics. I was the sole customer during that time. Lucky me, I have the whole salon for myself! lol!

Upon entering the salon, you can already feel your body relaxing as the mood inside is really very soothing and comforting. Oh, I really love their theme! The different shades of blue, green, and white really captures the colors of the ocean!



Initially, I only intended to have a pedicure but then I decided to have my brows fixed too!

In order to maximize my time at the salon, two attendants were simultaneously giving me the services that I availed.



Palm Beach Pedicure (P 230.00)



I availed the Palm Beach Pedicure. And as per their description, this service includes nail shaping, cuticle treatment and polish, with an anti-bacterial foot soak and a restorative mini foot massage.

First, they soaked my feet for more or less ten minutes. While waiting, they asked me to choose the polish that I want to be applied. As earlier advised, there was an additional charge of P50.00 for their branded polishes. It was only later on that I have learned that they also have regular polishes available for free, though, there are really not much color options available.

Available polishes...

And so my pampering begins...

In fairness, the attendant did gave my nails justice. Look at my pretty feet! Definitely ready for a lot more walking and strutting! :)



Now, I have another option whenever I'll be needing some pampering again. But then again, if I have the luxury of time, I will still prefer to have my nails done in the local salon in our place since they are already familiar with my nails. Gustong- gusto ko kasi yung binubutingting ang kuko ko! I want my ingrown removed, which most of the salons inside the malls do not offer.



Eyebrow Threading ( P 190.00)

I am really lazy person when it comes to taking care of my face, and my brows are definitely not an exception! I find it hard to maintain the shape of brows that is why I just rely on the services offered in salons - threading or waxing, I'm all for it! :)


Another reason why the services were simultaneously given to me was because they do not have a bed where customers availing their threading and waxing services can lie to, though I am not really a hundred percent sure about this. There might be one available inside the other room where the staffs were staying. But then again, they should have let me use that if indeed one is available. :)


For my brows, first thing that was done was to put powder on my brows and the surface surrounding it. And then afterwards, the staff already started threading my brows. I can say that she really had a hard time doing so because of our position. It is really not conducive for the service. But in fairness to the attendant, she really tried her best to make me comfortable.

powder on my brows...

And tadah! here is the finished product! : ) My brows are now again unruly no more! hehe


If you will be asking me if I will still go back to this salon for my brow threading, my answer would be NO because I really noticed and felt that they are still not much ready for this kind of service, maybe because this branch  have just opened recently. I really hope that there will be a lot more improvement the next time that I visit them.

During the duration of my stay in the salon, there was only one customer who went inside, who also left afterwards. The customer is a student. But upon learning that she still has to cash out an additional P50 for the polish, and after checking the available free regular polishes, she just decided to left together with her boyfriend! Sayang! But seriously, the management should deal with this scenario, asap.I think it is still best to offer regular polishes as their salon is mostly attracting students, which mostly has budget concerns

Overall, I had a satisfying experience at Nail-a-holics. One of the staffs even offered to take my photo! Yay! Thanks! :)

Burlington Socks & SM Supermalls Sale!





"Mama, I cannot find the other pair of my socks!"

"Mama, I do not have any remaining socks in my cabinet!"

These are the usual scenarios in our house even though it was just three months after the school year started. This really causes me headache everytime. And I am sure that I am not alone in this dilemma. :)

So, it is for this very reason that I pick up the habit of socks-hoarding! Hahaha! Whenever I see socks on sale, I always hoard! Lol

And this is exactly what happened again last Tuesday. I went to the SM Department Store, saw the socks on sale, and walah - to the counter I hit again! But hey, who wouldn't want to take advantage of this sale? These Burlington socks were nitially priced at P189.00, now they are offering it at P100.00! Almost half the price! Great buy, right?!

Beat the Heat by Avoiding These Summer Skincare Mistakes



It's summer time and it is really becoming a hot one, which means many of us will likely head to the beach to cool off. If you're not careful, however, you could get more than just sand, sea, and sun.

Protect your skin against the sweltering heat this summer by being prepared and informed. Start by getting to know and avoiding these all too common summer skincare mistakes.

Neglecting Proper Sunscreen Use

Sunscreen should be an important part of your summer skincare routine, but many of us do away with it for various reasons. For some, it's expensive, it doesn't feel good on the skin, or it's not practical if you're not planning to stay under the sun for a long time.

First off, not all sunscreen lotions are expensive. These may be a bit pricier compared to ordinary lotions, but the purchase is worth it. Many sunscreens on the market are also formulated for quick skin absorption, which does away with the sticky residual feeling. Dermplus sunscreens, for example, provide excellent skin protection from the sun, features a quick absorb formula, and comes in different variants and sizes depending on your need and skin type.
One important thing many people don't know is that  you can get sunburn even when indoors. UV light can penetrate through glass windows, which means even if you are at home or in the office and you happen to be next to a window, you still are exposed.

Make it a habit to use Dermplus to all exposed areas of the body every day, especially this summer.

Ignoring Dead Skin Cells

The sun and sand may feel good on your feet, but these can damage the skin. Be sure to exfoliate your skin before hitting the beach. Removing the dead skin cells allow for the growth of new, healthy cells, which makes the skin smoother and feeling softer.

Exfoliation also allows the sunblock and other skincare products to be more effective, as it can go deeper into the skin.

Relying on Clothes Alone for Sun Protection

Our summer outfits are often light, airy, and colorful. This, however, could mean your skin (even the non-exposed parts) does not get enough protection.

The sando, the sun dress, or that light summery polo shirt provide very little protection against the sun. For this, it's best to sunscreen it up all over, and maybe even getting clothes with built-in sun protection.

Getting Dehydrated

Dehydration not only causes headaches and extreme thirst, it also causes the skin to dry out.

Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water or non-sugary, non-caffeinated beverages. This balances the body and skin's moisture levels.

Ignoring that Sunburn

If you really can't stay away from the heat and the sun for a long time, be sure to soothe the skin as soon as possible.
The Dermplus Aftersun Hydrating Body Gel is very effective in soothing the skin, reducing inflammation and redness, and preventing peeling. The sooner you deal with the sun damage on the skin, the better.

Make this summer fun and safe not just for the family or the barkada, but for your skin as well.

My Skin House Beauty and Laser Clinic Experience

Skin House Beauty and Laser Clinic is an advanced medical aesthetics center that offers a wide array of non-invasive cosmetic procedures. The treatments are designed to improve the appearance of the face and body for a more youthful glow.
Who wouldn't want to have a more beautiful and fairer skin?! Definitely not me! It's every girl's dream to be forever beautiful and youthful! Agree?!


And it is for this reason why I immediately grab the chance to experience the services being offered by Skin House Beauty and Laser Clinic when I was invited to their Bloggers Event last December 11, 2014 at their Pioneer branch in Mandaluyong City for the introduction of their Gentlemax Pro treatment.

Skin House, Pioneer Branch

Dr. Olalia, the Skin House in-house dermatologist, explained to us the benefits of Gentle Pro treatments. 

Dr. Dana Margaux Lee-Olalia


The pretty Ms. Joanne Yu with Dr. Olalia

Afterwards, we were given the chance to tour around and check every rooms and the equipments inside. 



The Pixel Fractional CO2 Laser Room


Gentle Max Pro


Venus Freeze



The clinic is really very neat and clean. The overall design evokes both simplicity and elegance. You will immediately feel relaxed and comfortable once inside each and every room. And the high end machines really gives you the assurance that your skin is always in good hands with Skin House!

As perks, we, bloggers were given the option to try two of these services - facial toning, hair removal, both using the Gentlemax Pro machine and the Venus Freeze treatment. I opted to try their facial toning treatment first. I was hoping to also try Venus Freeze  but for lack of material time as it was already late, I only settled for facial toning. 

I was one of the last two bloggers who availed of the treatment. 

First, my face was cleanse to remove the dirt.


Then, Ms. Trisha drew some lines creating three divisions on my face. 


And then, for safety purposes, we both wore eye gears for protection.


And the treatment finally began. Ms. Trisha did the treatment by sections. And although she was really careful in doing the procedure, that didn't prevented me from getting hurt from the burnt sensation caused by the procedure. The machine has to reach a certain temperature (I think it was 40 degrees) for every section of the face. As what Ms. Trisha jokingly told me, "tiis-ganda talaga"! 


Here is what my face looked like right after the treatment. There were really some visible red spots.


Then Ms. Trisha applied something on my face to somehow ease the pain.



And tadah, I'm done!
Yours truly with Ms. Trisha

Taking a selfie with the Gentlemax Pro machine!


With the beautiful owner of Skin House, Ms. Joanne Yu

Right after the treatment, aside from some redness, I already felt my skin tightened a little bit. I just hope I can have the time to go back again to their clinic to further enhance and improve my skin condition. Busy momma here! :)

Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Skin House Beauty and Laser Clinic. But aside from the warm and personalized service, what I also like about Skin House is their after-sales customer service. A day after my treatment, I received a text message asking me of my condition and how my treatment was affecting me so far. This just really shows that they really do care about their customers, where everyone is treated almost like a family.

So for your cost-friendly skin care needs, do not hesitate to visit Skin House Clinic. They actually have two branches, one is located in 170 Mayon St. corner Retiro St., Quezon City, Metro Manila‎ and the other is at 2/F 8006 Pioneer St. Brgy. Kapitolyo, Pasig City. You may also contact them through these nos. 0917-8290990 / 09177131588.
