By Leave a Comment

SnR has great deals for moms all throughout the month of May. I checked out some of these deals when we went shopping last Sunday at SnR Congressional. I have a confession, my hair dryer burned out almost 5 years ago and I still keep it because I've been planning to have it fixed. It's this huge black thing that Noah keeps pulling out because he thinks it's a gun haha!  So I made a beeline for these hair dryers from Severin (Php724.95) and Braun (Php1,334.95). They're cute and compact which … [Continue reading]

One of the best news this shopping mama ever received was when H&M finally opened here in Manila. H&M is a must stop during my overseas trips because it's a great store to stock basics and get great on-trend items.

The … [Continue reading]

Belo Baby: A Must Buy for the Boys

By 1 Comment

The summer months and the scorching summer heat mean that both David and Noah take a shower at least three times a day already. We sometimes bring out their inflatable pool so they can both cool down when the temperatures rises up.  The constant showering and playing in the water means that I have to protect their skin from drying and scaling. I also saw that Noah has tiny rashes at the bottom of his nape and my intuition tells me that the culprit could be the combination of the heat, sweat and … [Continue reading]
