DIDI'scoveries: Netipot by Sinucleanse

Ever since I got pregnant with Kailee, I've had sever allergies.  And it never went away.  Everyday, I would sneeze and blow my nose.  My helpers think I have all year round colds - and I honestly thought it was too!  Until, I was diagnosed with allergies.  I would drink allergy medicines, but they will just be effective for a while.  I've accepted the fact that I would have this my whole life.

One of the things that has helped me get through my allergies is the constant cleaning and vacuuming of the common rooms in the house.  I would require my helper to vacuum the common areas twice a week at least.


And then I researched online, and found Netipot.  It seemed really strange to be honest, but then a lot of people swear by it.  I have friends who have told me that it has worked for them and their allergies were managed and some even say it cured their allergies.  I was very willing to try it out - but the problem was, it wasn't available here in Manila.  I posted a status message on FB asking if there were any netipost sold in Manila - and I got a number of answers.

So last Sunday, I was in Shangri-La Mall, I made sure to drop by True Value to see if there were any still left.  When I entered the store, I asked the staff - they told me to go the counter display.  I rushed to the cashier to ask and she told me that it was already out of stock.  I was sad, but then when I turned around, I saw it!  It was there, so I picked up one and saw that there were only 3 pieces left.  What's more wonderful was that it was at 50% off!  I was planning to buy in Amazon, but was really hesitant because of the time it will take to reach me.  I opted for this since it's already here and I would be able to use it immediately.

And last night, I used it.  It felt really weird at first.  I had to breathe through my mouth.  The feeling was so weird, to best describe it - it was the feeling of drowning.  Yes - it was how it felt the first time - the solution seemed like it moved up the sinus and down again to the other nostril.  What's great about it is that it irrigates the nasal passages.  So after pouring the saline solution, on both nostrils - it feels so clean!  Mucos-less and clear!  You can breathe normally!  Galing diba?


So there, I will be doing this for the next 30days as I have a packet of 30 pieces.  Let's hope that my allergies gets managed.  I am merely hoping to lessen the allergies and not eliminate it, but if it cures it - all the better, right?  Make sure to use boiled tap water or distilled water.  Make sure too, that it's lukewarm.

To all those who are interested, you may head to the nearest True Value, Handyman, and DIY store to try your luck in finding the Netipot!

I'll be doing updates on my Facebook Page, so if you would indulge me, please like my FB page and join me as I chronicle my Netipot journey to manage my allergies!

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 ...

#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 s...

#LeeKumKeePremiumSoySauce & #ShaoXingWine - my FAVORITE ingredients this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine!

We've been on lockdown for a month now.  And what is it that I realized?  Quality ingredients are very important when it comes to cooking for my family's meals.  I realized that there were ingredients that i took for granted before this lockdown.  Since I'm cooking everyday, I have played favorites with certain brands. Introducing, my FAVORITE lockdown cooking ingredients! LEE KUM KEE PREMIUM SOY SAUCE This has got to be my FAVORITE kitchen staple.  The taste is very clean and stable.  I say clean because comparing it to our local soy sauce brands - this tastes really different!  It's not very salty and the taste is - really different!  I have decide to buy this in the liter packages because I use so much of it in my cooking.  A little goes a long way when marinading and when cooking.  I say the taste is stable, because the product doesn't need a quick shake to combine the flavors - you won't see ANY form of residue at the bo...
