I am a sucker for body washes.  I love love loooooove using body washes.  So every opportunity I get to try a new body wash - I grab it! A few days ago, I received two bottles of #LuxSoftTouch and I tried it ASAP.  I even asked my Panget to try it.  Hahaha!  And he did!  Sorry, too much information! While bathing, I noticed that the body wash didn't leave a slippery feeling after use.  It didn't leave too a squeaky clean feeling.  It was something in between the two.  One more thing, it has this very luxurious feel while bathing.  I think it had something to do with the scent.  I wanted to stay in my bath forever!  Hahaha... (Kung pwede lang noh?) Immediately after toweling dry, my skin felt softer, soft to the touch.  Exactly like what the product promises. #LuxPH is having another giveaway on their Instagram @LuxPH To join, just post a SELFIE and answer *Why you love having fragrant skin* don't forget to u...

There is only one person is this world that I know who likes the greasy & slippery feel of lotion on their skin - my Aunt Betty.  She would lather lotion on her arms, legs and soles of the feet and basque in the greasy feeling.  Well, she has dry skin and so I guess for her it feels luxurious to feel that (as opposed to dry itchy skin) I on the other hand, share the sentiment of most people - I dislike the greasy feel.  So when I look for a lotion - I try it on first and when it passes my standards of the non-greasy feel.  Well - I hoard.  Hahaha!! :)   Vaseline is a brand that I TRUST.  It is the ONLY petroleum jelly brand that I buy and use.  So when I learned that there was a lotion line from Vaseline, I was elated and excited. When I received this package, I immediately grabbed (after taking this image) and tried the Vaseline Intensive Care Deep Restore lotion.  I was that excited!! I tested it first on my hand...

Late 2014 when talks started to go about regarding the presidential elections.  I felt for #MarRoxas.  I knew that he wanted to become President but I secretly thought that he wouldn't win.  I felt that he lacked charisma and the appeal of a President-iable.  I knew he was going to be the standard bearer by the administration but I felt sorry for him because in my mind - he wouldn't stand a chance against the one I will not mention. I was aware of his track record.  I knew he wasn't corrupt.   I knew he was a leader.  He knew what sacrifice meant and I admired him to high heavens for stepping down and lifting up PNoy to lead our country.  But there was just something in him that wasn't winnable.  Maybe because he didn't have the usual underdog story that we all look for. Early last year, we took the opportunity to go out of the country when the Pope visited the Philippines.  Many complained on the no work schedule.  Traffic was ...

To be honest, I was surprised to find out that Belo now has a line for babies - Belo Baby.  But then again, when I thought about it - I felt it was high time that they made one.  I personally love the Belo Sun Block (I use it regularly during sunny outing activities!) and I have to say, I'm very proud of this brand because it's proudly Pinoy! Let me lay this out first - I'm sure you've read here on this blog that my kids have Skin Asthma.  I'm very particular with the kinds of products I use on my kids.  Our pedia derma has advised us to find a product that goes well with the kids' skin condition and stick with it.  Unfortunately the products that helps their skin condition is not readily available in the market.  Well for one - we use an imported competing brand, and it's not available just anywhere.  I would hoard when I see it in the supermarket, but for the past months - well, it has been out of stock.  Since it's out of stock - my k...

I am FED UP and I am POWERLESS to do anything but just follow-up every weekday for any update on my concern. Here's what happened. Last March 23 while we were out of the country, we noticed that our CCTV app wouldn't load.  We wondered why but then thought, maybe there was an interruption on the signal.  The next day, it still wasn't up.  The next days were the same. So when we finally came home, I looked at the modem and it didn't have power.  I got another adaptor to plug into the modem to check - and it still wasn't turning on.  I assumed that the modem was busted.  I tried to plug it back in it's original adaptor but still - no power.  Since I was dead tired from the trip, I waited the next day to report to Bayantel. I officially made the report last March 27, 2016.  The hotline I called was 412-1212 and I was told that I'd get feedback and or the modem will be replaced within 24 to 48 hours. 24 hours passed and no news.  I call...
