Didi Reviews: Grandma El's Gentle Baby Lotion

Just before the Holy Week, my neighbor Vanessa gave me a bottle of Grandma El's Gentle Baby Lotion.  Since my kids have eczema, I'm always on the lookout for a good lotion for their skin.  This was a welcome for us because of the all natural ingredients.


Every summer, my kid's eczema acts up even more.  The heat becomes unbearable to their skin.  Connor for one, gets rashes all over his body.  He doesn't itch as much as Kailee, but he gets a more rough skin spots, and red rashes all over his body.  These rough spots if not paid attention to, gets thicker - which is bad.  We've resorted to putting steroid creams just to manage it.  I've been wanting to avoid it, but it seems I can't.  What I need though is to lengthen the time in between using steroids cream.  With our previous lotions the time in between was just two weeks the most.  And we were happy with that length of time.

Trying Grandma El's Baby Lotion, I was hoping to just find it as an all natural alternative to the lotions that I have been giving Connor.  But what I found is far more greater than a lotion - I found an alternative to the creams that we put on him.  I didn't believe it at first but when Yaya showed me the progress in Connor's skin - well, I was amazed!

Connor's skin became soft and smooth after two days of using Grandma El's Gentle Baby Lotion!  After using it for a week, all the rough spots were gone!  His skin became soft and supple!  And since it was the summer - the heat was supposed to make his eczema worse, but it was wonderfully managed by Grandma El's Gentle Baby Lotion.

Now, we use it only when there are rough spots on his skin - and we have been steroid free for over a month and a half now!  I am so very happy to find an alternative to medicinal creams.  It was really magic, I swear!  I know there are no medicine in the ingredients so I'm sure that the natural ingredients suited Connor's skin very well.  Thank goodness that it did!

I have previously tried other 'natural' lotions on Connor but they seem not to work all time time, so I stopped trying and hoping that they will work.  But this particular product, changed my views on the 'All Natural' lotion - apparently, it works!

Thank you super Vanessa for bringing Grandma El's to our shores!

Breastfeeding Mama!

"Welcome to the Milk Mama Diaries Carnival (July). For this month, we join the National Nutrition Council - Department of Health in celebrating Nutrition Month with the theme "Isulong ang Breastfeeding - Tama, Sapat at EKsklusibo!" Participants will share their experiences in promoting breastfeeding or their tips on how breastfeeding should be promoted. Please scroll down to the end of this post and check out the other carnival participants." When I got pregnant, I knew instantly that I would be breastfeeding my baby.  My mom found it odd that I decided to breastfeed - this was because I grew up formula fed.  My twin brother and I were given formula since birth, there was no attempt whatsoever to breastfeed.  In fact my mom recounted that she was given medicine to stop the milk production.  My pedia, Dr. Joy Ty-Sy said that during my mom's time (when she had us) it was the boom of formulas, that it was the trend that time.  I grew up with formula, my c

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't think I can w
