Eureka Moment: 100% Natural Deodorant

I'm one lucky girl as I don't sweat much!  Meaning, I can run a mile and still look HOT (not!)  Kidding aside, I really don't sweat much so I can skip using deodorants or anti-perspirant and probably use them only if I know I'll be staying outdoor for long or I'll be doing some strenuous activities!  That's the reason why my underarm doesn't turn dark (knocks on wood).  Yes, some or shall I say, most deodorants can make our dear underarms turn dark and ugly!  Why?  Well, these roll-ons, sticks and sprays may contain parabens, PEGs, synthetic ingredients or aluminum compounds that could cause darkening or irritations.  So best way to keep your underarm in its' most natural, gorgeous form?  Use 100% natural deodorants but seriously speaking, it is very difficult to find one!  But of course, we can always go to our trustee "tawas" (a natural white crystalline mineral salt of potassium) which I think is great but I find it tedious to apply (cause I'm one lazy woman of the 21st century!)

Recently, I've discovered a locally made deodorant from Human Nature's 100% Natural Premium Deodorant in Powder Fresh.

Shiseido Maquillage Essence Glamorous Rouge Review

Today is voting day for Philippine readers!  Take care of your votes!

Since it's a very serious topic about voting, let's talk seriously about lips!  My extremely dry lips are drier after labor and all the breast feeding!  *laughs*  I'm not sure if it's related but I just like to look for an excuse and not blame my genes! :P

For girls who suffer from dry to super dry lips, finding the right lipstick that's moisturizing enough is challenging so lip glosses are definitely the answer to our problems!  But here's the thing, aside from dry lips, I am "blessed" with full lips, I dislike using lip glosses as they tend to enhance the thickness of my lips and if applied too much, I look like a girl who got punched on the lip!  And the extra tacky feel of some lip glosses give me the uneasiness you and I do not deserve especially in this humid climate!

Recently, I've given Shiseido Maquillage Essence Glamorous Rouge a test and I'm so happy to share my experience with this!  I know a lot of Shiseido lovers out there and I'm sorry I was a bit too late trying out their products!

Better late than never!

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!
