SM World of Beauty

     I was in high school, I often hear my mom talking to my titas who live abroad about makeup brands that are not available locally. Two of my aunts work at Macy's that's why if there's a new shade of lipstick from my mom's favorite brand, she will just tell it to them but it will take a year before the balikbayan boxes will arrive at our doorsteps.

     To cut a long story short, it's hard to buy makeup from brands that are exclusively available abroad but now, hoarding buying is a breeze because all the coveted brands from different parts of the world are exclusively available at SM World of Beauty! Let me share with you some of my fave brands from around the world below :)

National Book Store Mommy Diaries with Jackie Go

     Hello, mommies! I presume that you've seen your favorite mommy and lifestyle bloggers in National Book Store's Facebook page sharing their back-to-school tips and shopping haul. Last month, I was invited to be a part of their back-to-school campaign.

     Back-to-school is a stressful season for some families because of the tuition fees and other expenses including a new set of uniforms, books, and school supplies. To lessen the burden financially, National Book Store together with yours truly made a video called "Mommy Diaries" together with mommy of 2, Jackie Go. If you haven't watched the video yet, I'm inviting you to watch it below :)

     

     Thank you so much, National Book Store for letting me share simple tips and advice to all the mommies out there now that it's back to school once again. I hope that you've learned from us and will help you cope in one of the most exciting seasons of the year.

Do you have tips and advice to all the families this back-to-school season?

Carl Schmidt Sohn Kitchen and Cookware

     I consider kitchen and cookware products a lifetime investment since we cook our food every day. My husband loves to cook and I'm proud to say that he is the type who will invest in quality kitchen wares because of the wear and tear in the long run.

     Tired of buying kitchen knives and cookware that does not last long? If you think you are saving money by buying inexpensive but low-grade kitchen tools then think again. Low-priced alternatives will cost you more as these need to be replaced after only being used for a little time. It’s time to invest in the right kitchen tools! Sharing with you a brand that's worth every money you'll spend below :)
