January 30th, 2011Thanks.

Thank you Lord that my daughter is feeling better already. She’s still under medication but so far, she’s responded well with the medicines.

Thanks God we’re already home (we’ve been in the hospital for 3days).

Thanks God for our insurance company,  Asian Life, for shouldering all our expenses. I didn’t fork a single cent on hospital bills!

Thanks God for  parents. They are always there, no matter what.

Thanks God for my job.

December 4th, 2010Loreal Total Repair Couple

PhotobucketFor hair care, I think this is the best tandem ever. Of course this doesn’t include those hair treatments that I indulge in once in a lifetime. ;-)

But yes, for everyday use, this pair of Loreal Total Repair Shampoo and Conditioner is absolutely a treasure. First, these are affordable. Second, they smell great. Third, they don’t hurt my eyes unlike some haircare products I’ve tried. And last but not the least, they work wonders for my special type of hair. :-)

I may not be able to help you with  the leaks of your kitchen faucets or the bathroom pipes but I sure has something to say about bladder leaks.

If you’re a mother, maybe at some point you experience getting leaks before reaching the toilet. I guess this would be most common to pregnant women — oh well, I always did when I was in my third trimester — and older women past 60 year old (my mother complains of this most of the time).

But would you know that there’s an underwear that helps you stride confidently even with the leaks? It’s called Stride, an underwear with built-in liners that gives me total protection to light leaks. Works really wonders, I must say as I own a couple of these undies. The liners, by the way, are not bulky, it’s just like wearing those disposable liners.

The panties I owned are the seamless kind which are made of 73 %Nylon and 27% Spandex. Love them so much because they are totally comfortable and fits me perfectly.

November 10th, 2010For Christmas

I’ve been researching for fat burning exercises to share to my friend and on my quest, I stumbled into this product instead.

It’s a wooden table for a laptop or to be used to serve breakfast on bed. :-) Looks nice ey? I think I can place this beside my bed, to hold some few things and my laptop/netbook. I think among other things (????that many??? lol), I’d love to have this for Christmas. Yes, for C hristmas. So friends, if you’re wondering what to wrap for me, then there’s your answer. :-) And it’s not expensive too.

November 9th, 2010Much Straighter Hair

Photobucket

Thanks to this product, my hair has become straighter than it ordinarily is. I did mention before that I have the straight hair do courtesy of the rebonding process I get every 6 months in a local salon. So expensive, but that’s reality for me who has very curly locks.

Anyway, this conditioner helps me maintain my hair to stay straight despite the growths. You just put an ample amount, leave it for a minute or two and viola, for gorgeous hair. Cream Silk Conditoner for Curly Hair also makes my hair smell great, too. I mean real great! It is affordable too. Try it.

October 20th, 2010How To Talk So Kids Can Learn

On my bedside table today is a book entitled How To Talk So Kids Can Learn (At Home and in School) by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish. I picked it up a few days back from our local bookstore and it was one of those spur-of-the-moment purchases but boy, I couldn’t be happier for buying it.

In this book, the experts on parent-child communication share ways for parents and teachers to motivate kids to learn, be more cooperative and thus, succeed in school. Really a wonderful book. Reading it, I feel the urge to buy some copies to send as presents to my friends (who are already parents/teachers). I believe this is a must-have for parents and teachers alike. In many ways, it’s a lifesaver for me –actually, more like an “emergency assistance” with respect o my son– and to think I have not finished reading the entire book. :-)

For parents/teachers reading this post, please add this in your book list. You will never regret buying it. Promise.

October 4th, 2010Cocoa Butter

I gotta find outnwhat lipo 6 hers black means but before that I have something to say.

Okay I’m not sure if I’ve posted about cocoa butter, but posted or not, I have to say it’s real good. Promise! I bought a jar from Indigomanila and it’s quite affordable.

My sister was complaining of itchiness due to very dry skin and I suggested for her to try some of my cocoa butter. And guess what, she so likes it that now she wanted to buy my extra supply. :-) She said it relieves the dryness of her skin and that she’s no longer itching like crazy these days. :-) :-)

Ackk, the wonders of cocoa butter!

October 1st, 2010Mmmm..good!

Before I go find out about this cheap life insurance, just wanna ask.

Ever heard of White Flower? If you haven’t heard it, White Flower is a very affordable  embrocation medicine oil. I know to some people this is very popular to soothe and relieve one from nausea and dizziness. I haven’t seen one for ages –not that there is a need for me to seek out this product.

But during a recent event in our life, my husband and I saw the need to buy some. And I remembered how good it smelled when I was still a kid. It still smells great. And how reviving. :-)

Ingredients: Menthol crystal, methyl salicylate, eucalyptus oil and camphor

September 29th, 2010Spa in a Can

I’ve tried a wonderful product that’s ideal for relieving stress. :-) And I didn’t shell out a penny for it.

My sister’s friend went to Boracay recently and from his trip, he brought  my sister this pasalubong, consisting of a Grapefruit bar soap and a product called Spa in a Can. They are from the Echo store.

I haven’t tried the bar soap but it’s the Spa in a Can that has impressed me. Made of VCO, peppermint, orange, musk and lavender, this product is absolutely wonderful. On its label it says it is a great reliever for congestion, stress, nausea and dizziness. It may also be used whenever one wants to “feel like taking a momentary spa break.” Now on my part, it has proven to be effective in relieving nausea and headache caused by stress and I think it’s a must-have not just a part of your bathroom vanity kit. Really really love it. Check it from the Echostore at www.echostore.ph.

September 25th, 2010No VS for me

All ye Victoria Secret fans out there, don’t be mad at me but I got to say this: I think Victoria Secret products are not for me. Yeah, I’m just being honest now.

And why did I say that? Because as much as I love the sweet scents of most of its products, my olfactory glands tell me they are “overpowering.” Or maybe I’m just too old for their sweet scent (yet  old enough to go read about best male enhancement). :-) But whatever, I think I’m over and done with VS. Period.
