Magnolia Chicken #PambansangManok

     Can you guess who cooks in our house? Nah, not me! It's the hubby :) He's in-charge in the kitchen and cooks breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I know, I'm lucky but that doesn't mean I don't know how to cook. Of course, I know the basics- boil, fry, and simmer. The hubby is the one who taught me my first chicken recipe- Tinolang Manok.

     This Filipino dish is loved by many. One of the comfort foods that Filipinos love to eat especially during the rainy season. The soup warms the tummy and the chicken together with green papaya or chayote is filling. If your family loves to eat chicken, be sure to get the brand that's known for years like Magnolia Chicken. More details on their newest commercial after the jump :)

Canon Pix Mommy Weekend + Canon PIXMA E Series Printers Launch

Speaking of the printer, let me share with you what Canon Philippines has to offer plus the highlights of Canon Pix Mommy Weekend Event.

Feature: I See Me! Personalized Children's Books

     Reading is an essential part of cognitive development among children. It is important to learn how to read at an early age. Did you know that when a child reads for pleasure, the more he/she performs better in school? It only means that if a child reads, it's easier to teach vocabulary and inculcate the lessons in the stories they read.

     When a child knows how to read at an early age, he/she will understand the stories better and will feel confident in school. But there were times that children veered away from reading story books at home. Some find it boring when they see same stories and visuals over and over again. Here's an interesting book that I'm sure kids of all ages will love- I See Me! Personalized Children's Books. More of I See Me! after the jump :)

Feature: Edmark Philippines

     I always tell you, my dear readers, that "health is wealth" and we must take good care of our family's health as early as possible. I have a dialysis patient father who neglected his health because he just doesn't care about his lifestyle before. He's diabetic for more than fifteen years and yet still living an unhealthy lifestyle that time. Fast-forward today, he is reaping what he sow. Five years on dialysis is so hard but manageable as long as you have the resources and patience.  But life must go on because dialysis is the only way to prolong his life aside from kidney transplant that in my opinion has more risk. 

     Anyhoo, I just want to share in this blog post the natural and alternative products that I'm currently taking. Take not that I'm not encouraging everyone to try this too because it's still important to consult your doctor before taking any kind of food supplement or alternative products especially if you're under medication.

Mother's Day Gift Suggestions from AVON

     I always hear this question- "How to be a mom?" from friends and relatives who are still single and those who are in a relationship. There's no manual or book that teaches how to be a mom and every mother is unique. Being a mom is honed through experience. Everyone looks up to moms simply because moms can do almost anything. They are always there to save the day. They know how to run things around the house even if they have their own personal concerns to handle. 

     We sometimes disagree with our Moms, but we know they will always be on our side when it matters. Mom may have many roles to play but they also make great fashion icons- managing to look their best regardless of occasion or situation. This mother's day, Avon Fashions compiled simple gift suggestions that will make mothers feel they're the superheroes in our lives. See what's in the list below :)

     Men and women have different skin problems. Some are easy to manage while others are difficult to deal with. In this day and age, there are so many skin care products in the market that caters to your skin care needs but not all deliver promising results.

     Weeks ago, I was invited by Nu Skin Philippines as they launch their revolutionary skin care product- ageLOC dubbed as the future of anti-aging because of the ageLOC technology and ageLOC product line. During the event, they introduced to us two innovations in anti-aging department namely: ageLOC Me and ageLOC Galvanic Spa.

     A couple of years ago, I stumble upon Oh My Bag Ph website because I was searching for a handle wrap for my small Longchamp Neo.

Feature: Skin House Revlite Laser

     Laser procedures are no longer new to me. I've tried several procedures for the face, legs, and underarms in the past months and I'm satisfied with the results. For underarm hair, I recommend Diode Laser and the newest, top-of-the-line GentleMax Pro introduced by Skin House and now widely used for effective treatment of hair. It’s fast, effective and affordable. Since underarm hair is no longer an issue, because another dilemma that has been bothering me is underarm discoloration, which I’m sure is a common issue especially moms like myself who have just given birth.

     I've been hearing positive feedbacks about Revlite Laser that's why I immediately said yes when Joanne of Skin House asked me if I want to try their Revlite Laser Treatment. They offered several sessions for the treatment because in my case, one session is not enough to see visible improvement in color and texture since the discoloration on my right underarm is really noticeable. Sharing with you information and photos of my underarms before and after the treatments below :)

Sarah Geronimo for Kamillosan M Spray

     Can I say that I'm lucky because in our family I rarely get coughs, colds, and sore throat? I have seen my son and my husband suffer from those viral infection and I can say that it's a pain. How I wish every time they experience that, I have an immediately solution especially for sore throat.

     Why sore throat must be given attention? It's because your voice plays an integral part in your everyday activities. However, it is inevitable that your lifestyle could take its toll on your voice, like when you get sore throat. Pain in swallowing, itchy and scratchy sensation in the throat, and sometimes the hoarse voice worsen and makes us voiceless. There's an effective way to treat sore throat- Kamillosan M Spray. Product details after the jump and why Sarah Geronimo highly recommend this spray.

Gold Jewelry: Sound Investment and Timeless Fashion Statement

     What are your prized possessions? These days, as gadget companies try to integrate technology into the lifestyle of consumers more seamlessly, wearable gadgets are all the rage. Think of smartwatches, high-tech rings and other wares merge the conveniences of modern technology and the appeal of fashion accessories. Did you know that ages ago before wearable tech became a thing, the concept of multi-purpose wearables has been around for some time now in the form of jewelry?

     Contrary to what others may think, jewelry is not only a show of status symbol in the society and infusing a look with a different level of flair. A piece of jewelry definitely gives every outfit a touch of luxury. Imagine those huggie earrings, a gold watch or, a gem-encrusted ring that can certainly give that "shine bright like diamonds" effect to the wearer. In addition, gold jewelry seems to be always on the radar of fashion influencers--just in different interpretations. But beyond aesthetics and creative expression, jewelry is actually a practical commodity and I agree with that 100%. Want to know why? Read more below :)
