Happy Mother's Day to all Mommies in the World!!!

Every year, Mother's Day has always been a well-celebrated day as I make sure to tell my mom and mom-in-law how much I appreciate them!  This year, Mother's Day holds a very special place in my heart as I can officially accept "Happy Mother's Day" greeting from friends and loved ones even though I've only been a mom for almost a month!  (May 16th)

After giving birth to my first baby and spending ENORMOUS time taking care of Baby AMW, I know I'm only .00000000001% to what real moms do but let me tell you, it's not an easy job and it's a job you can't take vacation or sick leaves!  So today, I want to thank my mom for all the love, support and teachings that made me who I am today!  I pray I could be at least half as good as my mom for Baby Kyle!  

Happy Mother's Day mom and to all the lovely moms out there!  I salute all of you as I finally have a hands-on experience on how challenging it is to be a mom! :)

Something New: Pleasures Eau Fraiche - My Kind of Pleasure

Happy Saturday everyone!  I am looking forward for next week as Baby AMW is official 1 month old by May 16th!  I am also officially able to take a shower!  I know, yucky right?  But Chinese readers or readers who have Chinese friends would understand what I'm going through!  

To celebrate my freedom from "not taking a shower" for a month!  I'm getting ready to use Estee Lauder's newest scent!  I've finished up a couple of bottles of the original Pleasures Eau De Parfum and I'm sure a lot of you can relate, it's one of the best smelling scent ever!

AMW Reviews: Celeteque Sun Care Soothing Lip Balm with SPF15

Happy Friday AMW Friends!
Me and my brother have been lip balm/moisturizer user for years!  I purchased my first ever lip balm at a local drugstore back when I was still in grade school, I can still remember it was a minty Chapstick.  No, I'm not into beauty products at an early age but it's more of a "need" rather than luxury!

When I found a good lip balm that works, I always share my finds to my brother whenever he gets back for vacation (ex. Burt's Bees, Kiehl's No. 1 Lip balm, Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream etc...), and finally, I'm glad to share to him another finding, an inexpensive one and I'm sure he'll appreciate it as he uses Celeteque skin care range anyways!

Eureka Moment: Inexpensive Moisturizer that Works!

After giving birth, I've noticed that my hands and feet are extra dry!  I know I've been complaining about my dry skin for years but the dryness today is different and I call myself a "shrink" (not the doctor..lol) but a lady with shrinking skin (from dryness)!  

Since I'm actively moving and staying close to Baby AMW for the whole day, I stayed away from any lotions or creams as I know how sensitive baby skin could be so I'd rather suffer the dryness rather than Baby AMW suffering from possible allergies.  But after 3 weeks in denial, I've decided to at least moisturize my hands at night as I spend lesser time cuddling Baby AMW (trying hard not to do so).

I've had the Jergens Overnight Repair Nightly Restoring Moisturizer for quite some time and even gifted some to my mom who actively uses moisturizing lotions for her legs before she use her medical leg stockings!  I'm glad I finally gave it a try as this product is indeed "Eureka Moment" worthy!

AMW Reviews: Ahava All In One Toning Cleanser

Tuesday Choose-day as what people say!  Well, I choose to be positive and happy today no matter how much I look like a cute panda!  I hope you choose to seize today like the best day of your life!  It will happen if we believe it!  

Now, let's talk about a toner and cleanser product mild enough I get to use even during my pregnancy!  Thanks to Sampleroom.ph I was able to grab a good sized sample for free!  I've been pretty lazy on my skincare routine especially on the latter part of my pregnancy, why?  Well, my feet and hands are swollen and the pregnancy hormones are telling me not to bother prettifying myself as I'll go straight to the labor and delivery room anyways! hehehe

So yes, I admit, there were times I get too lazy to wash my face I just grab the Ahava All In One Toning Cleanser and go straight to sleep!  *lol*  No judging please :P
