AskMeMom: Mom's Basket Cookies

Good morning fellow mommies!  I think you got drawn to this post because of the title, most of you are probably moms or are expecting to be one!  Congratulations by the way to us!  It is definitely not an easy job but a very rewarding one!

Most of the time when you meet fellow moms, they would ask if your baby is formula-fed or breastfed, not that I'm against formula feeding, some really had to go through that route and I completely understand.  As for me, it was a personal decision to breastfeed Kyle as we're hoping he gets all the anti-bodies he needs from breastmilk so he'll grow up to be a strong and healthy boy!  

I am not blessed with unlimited supply of breastmilk I tell you, at this moment, I do have enough just for Kyle but not that much to stock them inside the freezer or even enough to feed the rest of the barangay!  *laughs*  I do not plan to okay? :P

I have to blame my very busy schedule as there were days I can't express milk for 5-6 hours because I'm busy with a makeup workshop or probably in a place where I can't express my milk!  

But once I get the chance to be back on my regular schedule, I would try to pump at least 2-3 hours to get back to the "rhythm" and of course, there are a lot of help with my daily Tinola soup, malunggap capsules and now...lactation cookies!

This mommy is doing everything to increase my milk supply!  Even chowing down at least 4 yummy cookies a day --- yes, that is VERY difficult to do :P

AMW Wears: (Extra) Sexy White Shirt

Happy Friday everyone!

Let's talk about fashion, I can't seem to stress more how I am into comfort especially now that I'm a mom!  

A few years back, I blogged about my favorite Sexy White Shirt tops and I've worn them a lot of times in white and gray!  I like pairing them with shorts, jeans or even glam them up a bit with a scarf or statement necklace!  

But, after giving me, no matter how much I'd love to wear my Sexy White Shirts again to feel *ahem* sexy, I can't!  Let's face it, my body isn't the same as before plus the fact that I am currently nursing my little one, (maybe it's a good thing), I"m more "gifted" up there!  *laughs*  Okay, I seriously blushed a bit while typing this!  

Thankfully, my favorite brand came up with Extra Sexy Collection that would fit Small to Medium Frame.  Aside from the said changes, I was told they sourced for more luxurious organic cotton fabric and I can really tell that these shirts feel and look better on me!

 

AMW Reviews: Ofra Lipsticks

Happy Thursday everyone!  Funny how each time I feature a lipstick brand, the shade that would always be featured is a red and a pink!  I guess most of us are looking for good pink and red lipsticks that can change the way we look in an instant!  In less than a minute!

As a professional makeup artist, that's my one little secret in changing the looks of my clients especially when they are on a Prenup shoot (wherein various looks are needed). Thankfully, I get to try Ofra brand via Glamourbox. 

There are no shade names but instead, it's numbered

Dear AMW Friends,

Please watch this short video...

So true right? 

AMW Reviews: Sleek Kajal Eyeliner in Odyssey (Purple)

When we talk about Kajal Liners, I always imagine them as dark colored liners used to create dramatic looks!  My very first Kajal Liner is from The Body Shop, and true to what I say, they came in dark shades in which I love to use when I create smoky eye looks!

Though I've used the Kajal Liner several times, I still have a lot left so I don't know how a single individual can finish Kajal Liners!  Unless, you wear them 24/7 and 365 days a year? :D

Okay back to Kajal Liners (I seriously tend to blab too much so forgive me :P), my favorite brand Sleek came up with their own Kajal Eyeliner and this time I got the purple shade!

Why in the world do I need a purple Kajal Liner when I can easily pick my purple eyeliner pencil to give an instant color on my water line or lower lash line?

Well, Kajal Eyeliners are unique because they can double up as an eyeshadow base aside from eyeliner.  They are creamy enough to be used as an eyeshadow base creating an instant pop to whatever powder shades you have on top!
