Readers' Corner: What to Pack (Hospital Bag)

Hi AMW friends!  I recently received an email from a reader asking me to share what I packed inside my hospital bag!

First things first, I want to thank my online friend Didi for sending me lists of things needed to take with me to the hospital!  Truthfully, to all first time preggy moms out there?  I understand how overwhelming it is to pack for a hospital bag!  I mean, the overall shopping for baby related stuff is stressful enough! So to be honest, as OC as I may seem, I am actually one lazy bone several weeks when I was about to pop!  I dread carrying my tummy and butt every second of the day, so can you imagine how difficult it was to pack for a hospital bag?

This will probably shock most of you but just so some of you may feel better, I actually completed my hospital bag several hours before I gave birth!  Yes, the bag was always there, there was a few items inside but it was never complete until April 15th 9:00pm (P.S. I gave birth April 16th 1:29am).

Eureka Moment: Brush Holder

I blogged about my personal brush holder year 2008 (Eureka Moment: Brush Holder post).  Because I'm good at taking care of my stuff, I'm proud to share that the glass is still doing well and it holds more brushes than ever!

But, after giving birth, I've decided to go back to makeup routine and saw that my glass container is picking up on dirt!  It doesn't help that my makeup brushes are exposed so I had to wash them all over again!  

That's when my search for a makeup brush case instead and I've set my eyes on Sigma's!  I nearly bought their travel set just for the container!  I was just waiting for their free international shipping day but thankfully, another EUREKA MOMENT for you and me!  *winks*

Weekend Food Trip at: Tonkatsu by Terazawa

Happy Sunday AMW friends!  Let's talk about food (as I always do in person!  lol).  Thanks to dearest ahya/achie for inviting us at Tonkatsu by Terazawa, it's rainy day but I'm glad to experience good food with the "loves" of my life!  

Tonkatsu by Terazawa


I have tried Tonkatsu in Japan and some restaurants here in Manila who serves similar Tonkatsu dishes so I'm excited to give this a try, Tonkatsu by Terazawa is part of Bistro Group and so far, I always have good experience dining at Bistro Group restaurants.
