Bata Shoes for the Family



For a super busy individual (yes, I use the term individual as Mom and Blogger is just 2 of the many hats I wear on a daily basis!)  Buying gifts during the holiday rush is one of my least favorite activity!   As much as I love shopping, I do most shopping online because I just dislike the crowd!

But some things are meant to be seen and touched especially if you want to buy something extra special for your loved ones!  So I found a store that can actually satisfy the "Family List"!

I took rounds inside the Bata Philippines Store at SM Makati and took notes on the perfect gift ideas for each family member, of course, these are just my suggestions, you can always mix-and-match based from their personality and likes!

For Moms
Moms do not have to look like they are meant to stay at home, for me, moms should always look fab because that's how I think every MOTHERS are --- FABULOUS!

So the New Arrivals display of  bags and shoes are my gift-suggestions for the special woman in our lives!

Feeling Young at Heart at Zippy Kidstore



I got an invite to visit the Zippy Glorietta 3 store.  As much as I want to tag #KyleNash with me, I had a meeting before and after the Zippy event!  Even without Kyle, it doesn't mean I won't be able to enjoy the store visit because just by looking at the visual merchandise, I knew this will be the store I'll go back to - again and again.

Zippy Kidstore is a children's apparel brand for Portugal and they caters to children from 0-14 years old.

The intimate gathering at the flagship store was fun not only for kids but kids-at-heart!  There are loads of sweets that filled the buffet table, activities and a lot more!

So much laughter and balloons in just one afternoon!

The Philippine Launch of UNIQLO Baby


When my son was still a baby, I tend to dress him up in cute outfit that would make everyone goes "awwww!" whenever they see him.  But, most of the time, I go for "blah" clothing as long as he feels and look comfortable.  Can't we just combine but cuteness and comfort?

YES we can!  All thanks to the Japanese Clothing and High-Street Brand Uniqlo!  I always find their clothing to be super comfortable so I trust them when they say their Uniqlo Baby Wear are categorized as Class 1 - the safest classification under the Oeko-Tex Standard.  From raw materials used to the finished product, all the clothes made are formalin-free to ensure the health and safety of babies.

I'll share more about those information later on but let me share to you the photos during the launch!

 UNIQLO Baby was formally launched at SM Aura branch last week.  I was right at the nick of time (sorry, long story!)


The event was hosted by Delamar of RX93.1 and she introduced to us the newest addition to the "UNIQLO MOMMY" (I coined that term!  Don't quote me! :P)  Ms. Nikka M. Garcia (the wife of Patrick Garcia) who is now I think 6 months pregnant?

How Do I Deal With "Mommy Burnout"

I am a mom for 2.2 years to be exact, you want me to tell you how the "ride" was?

Top and bottom: Gingersnaps
Shoes: Eazyfashion
Well, I'm physically tired, I'm sleepy most of the time, my body aches here and there and oh!  24 hours a day is NEVER enough!

Mommy and Son Bonding

Whenever we visit the mall, my son is on the stage where he doesn't want me to let go of him!  He's scared of shiny floors!  (any moms who can relate to this?)

So to solve this issue, we take him out for a walk, he prefers granite floors #lol!  Or any non-shiny, non-slippery-looking floors!  And here he was super happy with his "I'm finally free!" walk with momma!


If there's one particular place that makes him the happiest boy alive, it is NOT the toy store but a bookstore!  Our favorite hang out place?  National Book Store or BookSale!  He got my genes!  (Ahem, sorry hubby!)

I Wonder: Do You Splurge for your Baby's Shoes?

Hi fellow mommies!
How are you?  I have this question that has been bugging me for months!  Well, I'm one of those "practical" moms who know when to splurge or save!  I guess I got that from my mom and dad who did an amazing job raising all 4 of us!  A lot of you may think Baby AMW is spoiled because he's my only child.  As surprising as it may sound, you're wrong!  I guess I grew up with a strict mom and dad who made me learn the value of money at an early age and I want to instill that on my son!

Do you agree?


So back to my I Wonder topic!  Mr. AMW and I are quite lucky to have friends and family who were so nice to give us hand-me-downs on clothes, toys and shoes!  I don't mind splurging a bit on clothing especially when he needs to attend a party especially HIS own party!  *laughs*  but when it comes to shoes, I used to be a firm believer of "NOT SPLURGING" on shoes as everyone knows how fast they outgrown their shoes!

Gifts for the Happy Baby and Mommy

Happy Saturday!!!  I'm off for another busy Saturday as my social life circulates mostly on a Saturday as I heavily depend on Mr. AMW to drive me around!  *sobs*  I'm not complaining, I promise you!  Even if I'm just staying at home, I feel the love coming my way in my enclosed room!  Thank you so much to the gifts both Baby AMW and I received over the past few weeks!

I want to thank mommy blogger Michelle from My Mom Friday for sending me gorgeous baby stuff from Green Sproutlets.  They are made from 100% cotton and I can literally feel the comfort of my little AMW using these once he is born! 



 Mustela
 Mustela has been a number one brand that was recommended by most moms when we talk about pregnancy and baby stuff.  A lot of moms swore by it!  When my Sample Room family sent me these for Baby AMW, I nearly shrieked as these are the products I need that I didn't get the chance to purchase yet!  Thank you so much Mustela and Sample Room team!

 L-R Mustela Ciudado Especifico Busto Cream, Agua de Colonia sin Alcohol 
and Foam Shampoo for Newborns




Aside from the 3 star products above, I was also sent a travel size set of Mustela No Rinse Cleansing Fluid, Body lotion and Dermo-cleansing gel for hair and boy. 


Speaking about Sample Room, I recently got an email on my mailbox regarding the search for Sample Room Bloggers Circle Members!  If you are a blogger and you want to be part of this family, please, I highly recommend you guys to join this group as this community is really wonderful!  Imagine, a community of girls loving and enjoying the same products!  Read mechanics on poster below on how to join! 


Adore Fragrances and Aqua Fresco
 Of course, baby AMW isn't the only one who received gifts!  I also got some gifts from Adore Fragrances via NJ Torres (thanks girl!)!  I can't believe how gorgeously named and packaged these fragrances are!  Where were you guys when I was in high school saving up for an expensive cologne???



Of course, there's also something for Mr. AMW!  Aqua Fresco fragrances for men!  Create your own story line with the names of the scent!  Mr. AMW was creating one while taking this shot!  :P



Pond's Age Miracle Line
I have to admit, I did try out a lot of skin care brands and Pond's is one of them but out of all the Pond's line, I seriously haven't get to try the Age Miracle Line!  Don't get me wrong, I'm not on a denial stage!  I love using anti-aging products but I always end up giving this to my sister because she loves this line so much!  I may have to insert the Age Miracle Facial Wash in my current skincare system just for the sake of understanding why my sister swore by this!  Have you tried this line?  Tell me if this works for you! 



Last but not the least, a new online shopping website was launched, Taste Central, is the official retail partner of Deal Grocer !  I've always been an online shopper!  (Most of my maternity clothes were bought online and I purchased so many deal coupons I have a special folder for them!)  So having another site with good taste added isn't a problem for me, it excites me as I scour on various products which I don't see much on other online websites!

Yes, the landing page looks like this, so deliciously yummy right?



Because Taste Central wanted to make Mommy AMW happy, they sent me and Baby AMW special gifts and I have to apologize that I didn't get the chance to take professional shots on most of them as I ended up going "gaga" over the food!
6-Pack for Php1,334.00 (approx $33.35)
Thin-crisp oatmeal cookies that helped me through "in between" hungry moments! 

3 packs for Php468.00 (approx $11.70)
 Imagine your favorite polvoron with rice crispies but this time, wrapped with a thin, crunchy-layer of Belgian Chocolate?  I was in heaven!  (Was- Past Tense because it's all gone by now!)  I usually have these after meal when I'm craving for something light yet not too sweet!  I'm proud to announce that the selfless I was able to share some Mr. AMW!  I can't wait to order more of these!!!  


Php2,900 (approx $72.50)
 This is one baby product I missed jotting down on my "must-buy" list!  Thankfully, I was gifted one as I was told by moms here and abroad how useful this is for the little one!  I can't wait to put this on test and to moms out there who have this, where do you buy the cover?  Any ideas?

Huiles & Baumes Face Soft Scrub
Php2,000 (approx $50.00)
I appreciate it that Taste Central didn't forget the fact that I'm into beauty so they made sure to include a beauty-related product!  A facial scrub that's paraben-free?  I'm sure it'll be something worth having a look!
 

There are so many reasons to have a bad day and there will always be more reasons if we let them be part of our lives!  My personal goal?  Is to appreciate blessings in life, no matter how big or small it is! No, I'm not saying that being happy means receiving gifts or products here and there, the point of being happy and staying that way is acknowledgment and appreciation!  Acknowledging the effort and time people give you and appreciate them for being part of your lives.

If I'm going through a bad day (promise, I have loads of that recently), I look into those emails, handwritten notes, text messages and comments from readers, friends and families and the troubles may still be there but at least, I have this feeling that I'm not alone!  Last but not the least, learn to pray and thank God for each day and moment that we get to breathe and enjoy life here on Earth! :)

Okay, that's me talking, not my pregnancy hormones! :P  Have a wonderful weekend ahead and stay positive!

What are you thankful for today?

AMW Baby Fashion: Greendays Organic Baby Clothing

I know I know!  It is too early for Baby AMW Fashion but who can resist?  We're a couple who loves cute stuff and can you imagine just how excited we are to shop for "cute" baby stuff during our first Baby Fair a couple of weeks ago?

Anyways, before I show you more of the baby stuff that we bought, Baby AMW received another gift from our friends from GreenDays Organic Baby Clothing!  Judging by the look of the box and packaging delivered, I originally thought someone was trying to make me fat by delivering me a cake!  Boy was I wrong, it was way better than a cake!


Super cute box that lifted my not-so-good mood that day!  Who can resist gifts that are well packaged?  I know I can't! 

If you can read Chinese, feel free to browse their website  as I enjoyed seeing all the cute organic clothing creations meant for our sweet little angels.  There are only a few organic clothing lines available in our country and I'm glad someone's brining GreenDays in!


The gift comes with cute sticker (in which I will stick in my Baby Album) and a super nice personalized card for Little AMW!
 

Since Janice from Greendays Organic baby Clothing knew I'm having a baby boy, here are some of the cute baby blue products she sent! 

I'm glad she included a newborn essential, I know I have bought enough but who can wait for 6 months to 1 year to wear such cute stuff?  I know this mom (pointing to me) can't!


Long Sleeve Bodysuit
Price: Php750.00 (approx $18.75)
 
 
Tank Bodysuit
Color: Blue Stripes
Price: 699.00 (approx $17.48)

She also added some accessories to keep my baby warm and cute at the same time!

 Baby Beanie
Color: Blue/Pink
Price: Php449.00 (approx $11.23)

  Baby Mittens
Color: Blue / Pink
Price: Php245.00 (approx $6.13)

Baby Bib
Color: Blue/Pink
Price:  Php345.00  (approx $8.63)
  
Baby Booties
Color: Blue / Pink
Price: Php245.00 (approx $6.13)

All of the products available at GreenDays are made from 100% organic cotton that's why their prices are a bit higher than regular baby clothes you see inside the mall!  I wouldn't mind spending a bit for baby AMW as he's my number 1 priority for now!  The quality of each piece are made with care and I don't see any flaw in terms of production!

Here's an overall photo of our Piggy Model!  I'm sorry Baby AMW, you're still inside my tummy so piggy gets to model for now!  Once you get out, I promise to show you the real photo of Baby AMW wearing Greendays Organic Baby Clothing! :D


Like Greendays Organic Baby Clothing on Facebook for more product details.  Thanks Janice for the lovely gifts, I'm sure Baby AMW is excited to wear them!

Are you into baby stuff?  
Even before I got pregnant, I have always been into baby clothing and accessories and I love attending baby showers as I get to shop for cute little stuff!
