Our Family Getaway at Cala Laiya, Batangas

In May 2022, I celebrated my 36th birthday in Laiya, Batangas. After weeks of searching for a family-friendly resort just a few hours (land travel) away from Metro Manila, we decided to book at Cala Laiya. Having read about it in several blogs and online articles, my husband and I knew this serene marine sanctuary…

Yoga for Kids at Kids Yoga Corner

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.

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).
