Pinks and Reds in a Collection

Happy Saturday!  Look what I got...something PINK and you guys know I love pink just by looking at my product shots background!

The newest collection from Bobbi Brown came out last April and of course, it is only this month I can talk about it because I'm busy surviving life without bath and shower!  Yuck but at least you guys didn't get to sniff me!  (poor husband!)

AskMeMom: Newborn Must-Haves

Good morning and happy Friday!!!
Today, I'm very excited to share my first "legit" post on AskMeMom.  Legit for a month plus to be exact!  *hehehe*  I know it's too early to post about newborn must-haves but I can't wait to write about it especially knowing I have a couple of pregnant readers and I want to make sure first-time moms like me won't get the shock of their lives!  Well, I've been exaggerating about the "shock" but I'm glad there are some things in life that helps Baby AMW go through his journey in this super MEAN world!  *laughs*

Of course, you guys know the basic, the clothing, the bottles, etc.... here's just an added "small list" from the super long list of baby essentials as no one told me about this until Kyle came out!  So I'm telling you to arm yourselves with these products or similar ones!

Mustela Bebe Pack
Thanks to Sample Room for sending these to me on my birthday!  I originally kept these just because they were so cute (in size) but let me tell you why these are turning out to be my essentials and I'm definitely repurchasing for full sized bottles!

Ready for review?

Salon Report: Hair Cut and Aroma Hair Therapy at Azta Urban Salon




Happy Thursday everyone!  Time for Salon Report and I'm so happy to announce that I finally had a tiny "me" time after pregnancy!  To be honest, it was a difficult decision to leave home since I'm very attached with Baby AMW as I've been with him 24/7!  It was a difficult decision but I'm glad I made it to the haircut and hair treatment as my poor hair deserves the TLC!  Motherhood is definitely not a simple task, sometimes, I just want to walk in jacuzzi tub (I wish!) 

A couple of years ago, I had Hair Coloring and Gloss Treatment done at Azta Urban Salon (read post HERE), SM San Lazaro branch and so far, the experience was great so it wasn't a difficult decision to go back to this place!  

The salon was packed with clients when I arrived so I had to wait a couple of minutes for my turn.  The staffs were really helpful and accommodating and I didn't mind the wait as I get to see what services other customers availed!  The girl beside me had a gorgeous OMBRE hair treatment in purplish red and I wish I can do the same on mine but I have to put hair coloring on hold as I'm breastfeeding Baby AMW!  It's nice to know that the salon strongly suggest me to ask my Doctor regarding hair coloring while nursing to keep baby safe!

I opted for Aromatherapy for my super dry and lifeless hair and a simple hair cut as I still prefer to tie my hair in ponytail when I'm with baby Kyle!  

The in thing on hair shampooing?  I used to call this "dry shampooing" back in China.  Dianne applied shampoo on my hair and lather it while seated comfortably on my chair. Then I was asked to proceed to the rinsing area to wash my hair.

AMW Reviews: Kerastase Cristalliste Lumiere Liquide

Good morning AMW Friends!  I know I've blogged so much about Kerastase hair products as I've always been a fan of the brand even way back before blogging!  I have always been a fan of their hair masques and I'm happy to announce that most of the experience with them is great!  As for serums, I've been very keen on finding lightweight versions and so far, most Kerastase serums are lightweight but I never thought I'd find something lighter!

AMW Reviews: Hurraw Lip Balms

The moment I learned I was pregnant, there were a couple of beauty products I stopped using...body lotions, moisturizers, toners, certain facial washes, etc... But one thing I didn't stop using are lip balms!  When I was contacted by Cutieverse.com to try out Hurraw --- an all natural, vegan, and made from premium raw, organic and fair trade ingredients lip balm, who can say no to that?  Since I have Baby AMW, I've been very particular with the products I use on my body as I stay close to him like he's part of my body for 24 hours, so using beauty products made with all natural ingredients is definitely on top of my priority for now!

After a month long usage, I'm ready to share my experience!
