Didi Reviews: Konjac Sponge & Eczema

For a mom with two kids who both have eczema - I am most of the time desperate in finding a solution to ease my kids' skin conditions. I would try ANYTHING just to ease their skin asthma, anything. I've tried so many soaps, lotions, steroid creams and found not one thing that can be the ultimate solution.

Just recently, I've found lotions that helped manage my Kailee and Connor's skin asthma. Around the same time months ago, I received a message from a friend, she said that she would send me some Konjac sponge to try on the kids. I remember being told by the Pedia-Dermas not to use anything on the kids's skin while bathing. No towel, no washcloth to rub on their skin - just use our hands and soap. Wash cloths they say will make the skin dry and the friction of rubbing may cause rashes in the skin - so I never used anything on them. But with this product, my friend Czen (and also Atchi Pao) told me that these sponges are safe for babies and kids - I was very willing to try it on the kids. I was just crossing my fingers that nothing bad would come out of it!

I am very happy to share to you that this Konjac Sponge has HELPED my kids' skin condition. They've had less and less flare ups, their skins are softer and smoother. Connor in particular has much much smoother skin on his back. Kailee has less rough patches on her arms. I attribute these improvements to the Konjac Sponge. When I asked the Yayas to use the Konjac Sponge, I didn't tell them what it was for. I just told them to use it on the kids when they took a bath and they did. After a week, I already saw improvements - but I still did not mention anything to the yayas. I wanted to wait for the Yayas to tell me their feedback. Then a few days ago, Connor's Yaya told me that she thinks the sponge has helped soften the skin of both Kailee and Connor. In her own words she said 'Ma'am sa tinging ko, nakatulong yung sponge na ipinagamit niyo, mas hindi na magaspang yung likod ni Connor at yung balat ni Kailee mas gumanda and lumambot' (Ma'am, I think the sponge you gave us to use on the kids' bath helped. Connor's rough skin is no more and Kailee's skin is better and softer) It was only then that I told them that the sponge was really to help the skin asthma. I didn't want to jinx the product to be honest - and I am very happy that it didn't!

So, how does the Konjac sponge work? Well, the sponge balances the PH of the water before it touches the skin. So when you rub it on your body - the water is already 'balanced'! Yes, it's that simple, and I swear - I had no idea that the PH level of the water mattered - but it does, pala!

I'm so happy to have found a more natural alternative to medicines and steroids! If course, I still use lotions -but I use them less now. I don't need to buy them in bulk! This product saves me money too! Seriously!

I have finally found a regimen that works for both my kids. This Konjac Sponge for they they're taking a bath and the other lotions that I featured recently TruKid Face and Body Lotion and Grandma El's Lotion.

Thank YOU Czen for sending me the Konjac Sponge. I will surely buy from you next month! Thank you for bringing in this products - it is really a gigantic help to me and most especially the kids!!

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

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen. I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us. I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat. I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was. I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe. She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil. So I stuck to baking for a while. It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook. When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up. There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking. It was there that I learned to whip something up with just ing
