DIY hair removal using Strip It Sugar Wax
When I became a mom, I lost tolerance for waiting in line for my turn inside waxing salons. Though I enjoy the convenience of having someone else do all the “dirty work” for me, I’d rather spend the precious minutes cuddling with my baby or doing some other mommy errand. So I looked for hair…
Hey Mom Online Shop for Children’s Vitamins and Medicines
Because there seems to be an extended rainy season in the Philippines, it’s not surprising that cough and colds season also extended.

Merries Diapers: No. 1 baby diaper in Japan is now in the Philippines
Since I became a mommy, diapers have invaded a portion of my closet.

Diapers are now as important as my favorite facial wash….

Vitress Instant Relax
I don’t have hair that naturally remains beautiful throughout the day. I also have neither the talent and patience to style my hair for hours nor the extra cash to hire a stylist everyday. This is the reality I face every morning. Do I need to spend time to blow dry my hair or just…
Organic Baby Food Jars from Earth’s Best and HiPP Organic
Convinced on how organic baby food is better for my baby than other commercial infant foods, I started my search for organic baby food in the Philippines. Though I believe preparing home-made baby food is still the best option as it is safer, healthier, more cost-effective, I honestly think there’s nothing wrong to feed her these safe alternatives.
Smart Parenting Convention 2017

Babymama PH: A paradise for the breastfeeding mom
My first time mom bucket list includes a trip to Babymama PH, a one-stop shop for breastfeeding-related products in the Philippines. Though this breastfeeding shop has a website where you can conveniently place your orders for delivery, I opted to visit its store in Ortigas. Luckily, my visit didn’t go to waste. This shop is…
Happy Skin Moisturizing Lippies
I was a beauty product noob. When I was single, my kikay kit was so spacious. It only housed a pressed powder, a lip balm, a comb, and a bottle of cologne. I did a lot of attempts to use trendy lippies, facial creams, and other beauty stuff my kikay friends raved about, but sadly,…

All-white Infant Apparel by Beginnings Baby (Published in Millennial Moms PH)
As a first-time mom, I am quite cautious in the purchases I make for my baby girl, especially when it comes to her clothes. When I was pregnant, I did a lot of research on what infants should wear. Of course, we, moms, only want what’s best for our baby’s sensitive skin. So from both…

Newborn Product Checklist
There are a lot of newborn product checklists available online, but not everything is suitable for me. So I carefully selected a newborn stuff list that is tailor-made for mom and newborn in the Philippines. I ended up using Baby Company’s comprehensive check list.
