Hello Ladies! It’s been a while. As a mom life can sometimes go crazy. A last minute vacay just had to be squeezed in before school starts but was delayed apparently due to the popular swine flu virus circulating in the city which according to city health officials is very contagious but not life-threatening (when treated immediately), unlike dengue. With my daughter going to college I honestly think she deserves a last hurrah before facing the rigors of university life. .... I know what you're thinking...I'm old! lol....I married quite early, don't ask how early..SECRET! but promise, I'm old enought to vote during that time. LOL!

Anyhoo, here are a few pictures of our short vacation in Anilao, Batangas. My kids had a grand time exploring the ocean. They went snorkeling and scuba diving with their cousins and had smiles permanently fixed on their faces afterwards =) they couldn’t get enough of it. I think they were very brave…honestly, it scares the hell out of me just thinking of myself going 30 ft. below sea level breathing oxygen through my mouth… oh no, the beach is fine with me =)

I had fun mainly because the kids had fun too. I hope to see Palawan sometime in the near future. How about you, any last minute vacay?

Human Nature Organics for Babies & Kids

Recent studies suggest that baby shampoo, baby powder and lotion may be exposing babies to potentially harmful chemicals called pthalates. Pthalates are harmful chemicals that inhibit or negatively affect the proper development of the reproductive system especially in babies and young children.

Worry not mommies, Kids Nature from Human Nature is here to the rescue. With these kid-friendly baby care products, baths will be safe and FUN! 

Kids Shampoo/Body Wash comes in 2 scents: watermelon & banana. My little boy's favorite is the watermelon =)

Baby Shampoo/Body Wash is unscented. The best for your newborn babes. It has gentle ingredients like aloe vera and chamomile to calm and soothe baby. 

PS. I also use this to wash my brushes. Too expensive as brush cleaner? not at all! Check out the prices here

DIY Olive Oil & Lemon Face Mask

Keep Wrinkles at bay....

Another DIY beauty treatment as promised =) Just dig in to your cupboard for the ingredients

You will need:

1 egg yolk 

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Mix the ingredients together and apply to freshly washed face. Leave on for 10 minutes and rinse off.

Why it works:

Olive oil is high in vitamin E and anti-oxidants, and it helps soften and condition the skin. Lemon juice helps removes old skin and the egg yolk provides anti-oxidants to soften lines and wrinkles.

There... now off to the kitchen!

Hope it works =)

Clear Smooth Minerals Healthy Natural Liquid Foundation (whew!) I had second thoughts about getting this foundation at first 'cos I already have tons of foundations in my makeup kit. Tolerating the addiction....I had to give in (boy, was it hard!) It's just a tiny tube anyway, justifying my purchase, lol! ..it's really cheap by the way, it's even on sale! 239Php sale price (18ml tube), 299Php original price, how could you resist?? Haha!

Package says: Clear Smooth Minerals Liquid Foundation is a breathable yet full coverage that gives a healthy luminosity.

Pros: 

Buildable

Long lasting (after 8 hours I still look decent)

Looks natural

I used just 1 sheet of oil blotter (on the 6th hour)

It has SPF (16)

Cons:

It's not fragrance free. But it's fine acutally 'cos it doesn't smell funky or anything

My Verdict: Love it! and yes, I'll buy again if I run out =)

P.S I got it on sale at Watson's The Block
