Weekend Food Trip: Go Nuts' Cookie Butter Donuts

Happy Weekend AMW Friends!!!
Finally, I'm blogging in real time as Baby Kyle is sleeping!  You've been reading some scheduled posts for the past few weeks and I missed you guys!  As promised, I will be sharing more about my experience being a mom when I get the chance! Baby AMW is a good boy, he's not a handful (for now) but I still prefer to watch him every minute and memorize all his cute expressions!  As you know, they grow up pretty fast and I don't want to miss those special moments!

I just want to write a quick post to thank our dearest friends from Go Nuts Donuts!  I haven't been going out since giving birth, I went out exactly once for Kyle's first doctor's check-up!  So weekend food trip isn't possible as I am vowed to eat some specific foods to nurse my body back to health! One of the "best" nursing back to health food that I need to consume are chocolates or anything creamy that "warms the body", it was great timing when Go Nuts Donuts asked us to pick a dozen of their newest Butter Cookie Donuts!

I love how they have more choices of doughnuts to choose from!

AMW Reviews: Maybelline Color Sensational Lasting Lipcolor in Coral Crush

When I visit Maybelline counters, I find myself getting serious checking out their various lipstick shades!  Why?  The brand always comes out with a wide range of shades perfect for each individual's taste!  It doesn't hurt that they also name their lipstick shade in such a cute and unique way!

Since it's the summer season, corals are definitely in high demand even for clients!  I immediately checked Coral Crush because the name reminded me so much of the game Candy Crush!  *laughs*  Totally unrelated but still cute! *winks*

I Wonder: How Do You Relax At Night?

Hi AMW Friends! :)

The title is fitting as it's nearing the weekend and I'm sure a lot of you are going to a "relax mode" as early as now!  BUT, I was up and thinking about relaxing at night because I lose quite a number of sleep when I got pregnant and I was told by my friends that I'm the only pregnant woman they know who gets the least sleep in the whole pregnancy! 

So true!  It must be a practice for "soon to be moms" to sleep lesser at night as when the baby comes and cries all night, I guess, I'm one hell of an owl! :P

Since I'm up all night, a simple question has been bugging me that I want to get answers from you!  I mean, I'm not the only one who has trouble sleeping at night, my mom-in-law has the same problem and she sometimes, desperately goes for the sleeping pill route!  As for me, I went for the natural way...the lavender way.

I remembered having my monthly massage at a spa back in China and I always request for Lavender scent as it relaxing me so much I always get to sleep in less than 30 minutes!  So off I went to try the MJ's Herbals Lavender E Salve, I blogged about this product a year ago and I actually used it for a good month and stopped using it as soon as I learned I got pregnant!

** MJs Herbals is available at The Healthy Shopper Facebook Page
The Salve costs Php650.00 (approx $15.00). 

AMW Reviews: Make Up Store Eyeshadow (Valley)

Make Up Store as a brand didn't fail me when I tried their lipstick called Sweetheart (review HERE) early this year.

The next product I get to try is their super pigmented eyeshadow.  I can't promise all shadows are the same as I only get to try one of their shade called Valley. 

Eureka Moment: Sun Protection and Care the Easy Way!

Hi AMW Friends!
Summer is getting literally hotter and hotter as days go by!  I can overhear conversations by random people on temperatures in Manila and the provinces!  The weather is definitely absurd as compared to decades ago!

Nothing we can do for now regarding the weather but we can do something to protect ourselves from the harsh sun! 

If only we can bask under the sun like the couple on photo below to get a nice even sun tan or use airbrush for makeup all over the body to get that nice "sun kissed" look.  But let's get back to reality shall we?  We have jobs and responsibilities to attend to, and spending extra time to apply that sunblock could be a huge task for some of us *ahem* ME and my mom!  My mom dislikes sunblock application as she tends to sweat easily!  The thing though, she's exposed under the sun way longer than I am as she loves walking the dogs!

Thankfully, with our generation, sun sprays are available and the most recent one I got introduced is from Nivea!
