PERSONAL NARRATIVES, MOMMY TIPS, AND THRILLING DISCOVERIES TO MAKE DAILY LIFE THE HAPPIEST
Who wouldn’t like to have his skin analyzed and get the best treatment possible? Before we splurge, though, it is but proper to know who to run to and seek for his expert opinion.
When to consult a dermatologist? And what skin problems are better addressed and solved by an aesthetician?
“Be Bold. Be Free. Be You.”
This is this year’s theme for the Asia Young Designer Award (AYDA) competition of leading coatings manufacturer Nippon Paint. As it seeks to spur more the creative potential of all young designers and architecture talents in the region, the competition likewise seeks out designs that are unconventional, non-conformist, innovative, and with a focus on individuality.
First introduced in 2008 as the Nippon Paint Young Designer Award in Malaysia, the pioneering competition encourages innovative design ideas, concepts and solutions from interior design and architecture students on a chosen theme for the year. It has since evolved to include participants from more countries in the region, and thus has been revitalized and rebranded to reflect its widening reach and its increasing significance to the design scene in Asia.
I got my Palmolive Naturals Intensive Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner from the Sample Room. It was fun waiting for the package. Sample Room not only gave me the best sampling experience but delivered my needs with accuracy and speed.
Friends will no doubt describe me as a thoroughly domesticated momi. I would clean the house for hours and even scrub each bathroom tile until I see them all sparkling white. I would wash, dry and iron clothes or fold them then neatly place inside our closet. This momi would cook at least three dishes in the morning and cook some more in the afternoon for the kids’ merienda and our dinner. I love and am proud being a homemaker. And that includes washing the dishes and pots, cups and even the chopping board and the food containers.
Thus, it is with great joy that we got some samples of a new dishwashing liquid to try–Bubble Man dishwashing liquid. The brand is not anymore new in the market since it has been there for more than a decade, I guess. It is new in our household though because we always prefer the leading brand until we switched to an all-natural antibacterial dishwashing liquid.
Available in 3 variants: Lemon, Antibac, and Kalamansi. Promo pack (2 bottles) 270ml at P55.00 and 880ml at P120.00
My favorites are pan de coco and pan de regla. Sadly, the bakery within our subdivision only offers pan de sal every morning, thus imagine my excitement whenever I see a panaderia. Often, I would buy a few pieces to munch and save some for my midnight snack.
My love for bread started when my mom would buy me bread as pasalubong and baon in school.
Aside from presents, what makes this momi’s day totally awesome is fast and efficient service. She manages the small house single-handedly and she wants everything done in the best possible manner with the least waste of time and effort.
It is no surprise then that Etobee impresses Momi Berlin with their fast and efficient services. She receives a package from an event she joined months ago and the rider explains to her that the goodies are gifts from the organizers. And yes, she finds the deliveryman very amiable.
I share the small house with five boys. And one thing very common among them is the love for food. Thus, this mother is always busy preparing and cooking food for them. They eat and drink almost anything.
And I am happy that though the three boys are feeling all grown up, they still follow their mom when she says “drink your milk.” Oftentimes during breakfast and before bedtime, they would have their glass of milk.
Husband loves milk as well. Sadly, though, he is lactose intolerant thus his body cannot easily digest lactose, a natural sugar found in milk and other dairy products. Usually, after consuming dairy, he would have diarrhea. To avoid this, he drinks soya milk instead.
Lately, there was no supply of soya milk at our favorite supermarket. Heaven must have heard our plea that a day after that unfaithful time came our #bloggermail.
And I just need to go back.
I, together with four fellow bloggers, celebrated with The Felicidad Mansion as it marks its first anniversary last Wednesday through a grand food tasting event. The place is just as impressive as the food and the styling. Everything speaks of elegance.
I went back to the mansion four days after the grand food tasting and this time with my family. They just need to see the grandness of the place and taste the superb dishes.
Let me tell you something about me.
I am one of those moms who would love to have her own small garden of herbs and vegetables. That each morning, I would harvest my own eggplants and squash or anything I prefer to prepare for my family. That I could ask my little boy to pick for me some calamansi or tomatoes at our small garden anytime I please. And that I need not buy dried and bottled herbs as I could always have them readily available in our own herb pots.
Sadly, we do not have a big yard for that dream. Despite that, though, I have tried a dozen times to grow some onions and calamansi and even tomatoes. We have a tiny space in front of our small house to grow some. I even tried the mongo experiment of my boys, but all to no avail.
“Do things that move you to love.”
Husband would always advise me to do things that move me to love and everything else will follow. Before, I would find it hard to make a decision. There was a time I even put behind my son’s recognition so I could attend what I thought was a very important business meeting. I always struggle making decisions. Before.
