I tried Yoga for the first time when I was pregnant with our daughter Tash. My prenatal Yoga sessions really helped me relax and feel healthy throughout my pregnancy.

The Library Heiress
More than two decades ago, I was a child growing up in a world with no internet, no fun mobile games, and no video calls. Other than television (Hello Batibot!) and my plastic kitchen toy set, my favorite form of entertainment was my humble collection of storybooks. 📚 Best childhood ever! For decades, my little…
You’ll be safe here
Dear Tash, Mom is scared of the virus that I tell you about. Sometimes, Mom is still feeling weird about our new setup. Most of the time, Mom is tired, trying to balance work and taking care of our home. Despite all that, Mommy will do her best to protect you. Just like Rylie of…
Let your heart design
“Mom, let your heart design,” Tash said to me yesterday while I was busy working. ❤️🖍🎨 I’m not sure if she heard it from one of the children shows she’s been watching, but I really think it’s a catchy tagline or an empowering mantra for the second half of our memorable 2020. 🤓 Surely, the…
DIY Hair Removal and Pampering Products from Strip It
Three months in quarantine, how are your underarms, mommies? 😆 I know it’s not a great topic to talk about, but underarm hygiene is one of our womanly concerns (well, at least in my country).

Our toddler misses the beach. She’s been asking us when the Covid-19 virus will be gone so she can finally swim and play in Boracay (the last beach she went to). 😂🏖 Though I patiently explain to her why we can’t go to the beach or any other public place yet, I know in my…

NEW Joy Baby Dishwashing Liquid
Isang patak, tanggal ang sebong sangkatutak! 😍 No doubt, Joy Dishwashing Liquid has provided many homemakers effortless dishwashing experience with just one powerful drop.

Children’s Swimming Lessons with Coach Chito Rivera
One of my “frustrations” in life is not being a good swimmer. 🏊♀️ Well, if we will stick to the basic definition of “swim” which is to propel one’s body through water, then I can say that I can swim. However, I never learned the proper way of swimming — the correct breathing, arm movements…

BE IN THE MOMENT: Life lesson from children
In a generation where multitasking has become a way of life, practicing mindfulness is something easier said than done.

Susuru Japanese Cuisine at The Pop Up
While we’ve been taught that eating quietly is one of the mealtime manners we should never break, a loud sucking sound while eating is actually fine in Japan. 🇯🇵 Susuru, the Japanese word for “slurping”, is a sign of appreciation for a meal in Japanese culture. The slurping is an expression of how much a…

One of my New Year’s goals is to be more conscious of my own physical health and hygiene. 😍 Let me begin with as simple as taking care of my pearly whites and gums! 🦷 I must admit that, when I became a mom, brushing my teeth and visiting the dentist were pushed down to the end of my…

Benefits of Drinking DG Goat Milk
My husband used to tell me that, when he was a child, he only drank goat’s milk. He was allergic to the popular milk brands in the market so his parents made him drink goat’s milk. Based on this picture, I must say goat’s milk made him one very healthy kid! 👍🏻 I used to…
