AMW Wears: FLY Summer Collection 2013

Remember my first set of Fly Shades which I got early this year? (Read post HERE).  Well, after receiving such wonderful set of shades, I actually visited their stall and bought a couple more as Christmas gifts for friends!  I have to be honest, I scoured the stall and nearly got all the designs I want and I have never thought they will come up with more designs in just a couple of months after!

Introducing, FLY's Summer Collection for 2013!  

Summer shades #1

Van

Very classy! I love the old-rose gold frame that goes so well with any outfit!  Oh, all my gold-colored FLY shades never rust on me!  All you have to do is to wipe it before you put it in a case or glass drawer!

 

 Summer shades #1
Sari 

Gradiation of yellow and brown gives a wonderful impact to this classy looking sunglasses!  I love pairing this with a simple dress!

Summer shades #3

 Cayman

Reflecting Aviator glasses in white!  I call this my "hip" Aviator and I enjoy paring this during hot summer months with my pair of trustee maternity shorts and sleeveless top!  All I need to do is lounge in a yacht and I call that....."feeling like a model" look! :P

Summer shades #4
Laguna 

A geek-on-vacation!  That's how I call this glass as this works perfectly if you want to look smart yet will still be able to protect your eyes from the harsh rays of the sun!  Paired with your favorite floral/polka-dotted top, you can be back to the 70's or you can pair this with a simple shirt and jeans!

Summer glass #5 
Cat

A cool geek!  I used to wear glasses when I was younger for astigmatism but I never thought of wearing any of these glasses for fashion!  Now, I might! :)

I was actually tired from a very busy day and this pair hid my dark undereye circles during nighttime!  *winks*

I visited my mom and was too lazy to wear any makeup so I just tied my hair up and wore a trustee Aviator shades!  So far, so good!  It's nice to let my skin breathe once in awhile as I enjoy my favorite snack!

On very sunny day, this works for me as the shades' tint is a bit darker than the rest I own in this collection.  It gives my eyes the protection I need without much squinting and this photo was taken during a lovely drinking session at Dakasi Milk Tea! :D

Something New: L'Oreal Paris Hair Expertise + Choose my Next Hair Color

Not another hair care products you say?  Well, not for me!  I've always been very keen to look out for better hair products as my hair tends to be the most "sacrificed" part of my body just to look human on a daily basis!

Thanks to my pregnancy my hair was able to breathe from hair coloring for almost a year now!  But of course, knowing me...I'll definitely get back to coloring my hair once I give birth!  Believe me when I say I have hair color pegs all lined up! :P

And because of that, I have several shampoos, conditioners and hair masques, well, lined up too as I get ready to murder my hair strands again! :P

I have my Kerastase Chroma Captive all ready to keep my hair color stay longer and there's a new product line called L'Oreal Paris Hair Expertise!

AMW Reviews: Make Up Store Lipstick in Sweetheart

Good morning AMW friends!  Today, I will be reviewing a new make up brand that I get to learn early this year!  Make Up Store is a leading make up brand in Sweden and the brand has finally arrived bringing in a new "World Of Colors" as the brand states. 

On first glance, the packaging screams "Professional".  Let's start with their Sheer Lipstick!

AMW Reviews: Colgate Total Pro-Gum Health Toothpaste

As I'm almost at the end point of my pregnancy, let me share to you some of the things I took into account as soon as I learned I was pregnant.  Honestly speaking, I am surprisingly not as prepared as I imagined myself to be, I have so many things missed out when I compare notes with my mommy friends or pregnant friends!  But one thing I didn't miss for sure is to take care of my health as I want to be a healthy mom when Baby AMW arrives.

One test I didn't pass up is the test on Gestational Diabetes.  Gestational Diabetes is actually is high blood sugar that starts or is first diagnosed during pregnancy.  Pregnancy hormones can block insulin from doing its job. When this happens, glucose levels may increase in a pregnant woman's blood. (Source)

Once I reached 27th week, I went up for a test right away to make sure I don't have gestational diabetes.  Why?

• My family has a history of diabetes.
• I tend to lean on sugared drinks during my first 2 trimesters as I can't seem to down regular water.
• I am older than 25 years old.

Thankfully, my results came in negative!  But that doesn't mean I can rejoice and enjoy all the sweets at sight!  I've decided not only to control the amount of sweet intake;  I also make sure to take care of my teeth.  Remember my previous review on Colgate Sensitive Pro Relief?   I did share a story about my last dental visit and I was advised that I do not only have sensitive teeth but I have sensitive gums as well!  Even without going to the dentist, I know I have sensitive gums as they bleed every single time I brush my teeth!  With the added sweets on my diet now that I'm pregnant, I do not plan to take risks and lose my teeth!  I've also added Colgate Pro-Gum Health Toothpaste in my daily brushing needs.

Colgate says ---

Clinically proven to help reduce gum problems by up to 88%.  Colgate Total Pro-Gum Health has a unique formula helps fight harmful bacteria build-up that causes gum problems.  By fighting bacteria build-up for 12 hours, it provide non-stop care for your gums.

Active ingredients: Sodium Fluoride

Ingredients: Water, Hydrated Silica, Glycerin, Sorbitol, PVM/MA Copolymer, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Flavor, Cellulose, Gum, Sodium Hydroxide, Propylene, Glycol, Carrageenan, Sodium Fluoride, Sodium Saccaharin, Triclosan, CI77891.

Size: 86ml/110g

AMW says ---

Pros

• Has a fresh mint taste
• Has a soothing feel after every brush.
• Gums were never swollen or tender as compared to using regular toothpaste.  
• No more bleeding gums.
• Mouth feels fresh all day!

Cons

• None

Overall

I was just boasting to my husband how grateful I am I don't have any teeth or gum problems by using the right kind of toothpaste.  At the start of my first trimester, I can feel my teeth loosening up and gums were always bleeding after brushing.  Now I'm nearing the end of my pregnancy, I'm glad I don't have to deal with any teeth-related problems and only have to worry on other pregnancy related symptoms!

Tips

• Best gift for diabetics or even those who are into sweets or have bleeding gums each time they brush their teeth.
• Use soft bristled toothbrush and brush your teeth and gums gently. 
• Have a dental check at least once every 6 months! 
• If you suffer from diabetes, have yourself checked with a professional and don't forget to care for your teeth as well!

Will I repurchase?

Yes!

To whom do I recommend this to?

Everyone!

Where to purchase and how much?
Costs Php126.00 (approx $3.15) based on SRP.

Recently, I've read a magazine article regarding Diabetics and gum problems.  Yes, Diabetics are more susceptible to develop serious gum disease as they decrease the ability to fight bacterial infection that invades the gum!  My mom, a long time diabetic, is starting to complain how her gums are in recession so I make sure she does not only take the right medication for diabetes but she has to pay special attention to her oral health as well!  I will definitely recommend this to both my mom and dad because I love them and I want them to stay healthy and happy just like the way they took care of me!



Do you or any of your loved suffer from diabetes?
Are you aware that diabetes could also cause gum problems?
