Something New: Naima Sleepwear and Loungewear

Dear Naima Sleepwear & Loungewear,

Thank you so much for sending me such a wonderful surprise 2 weeks ago!  I have been wearing some of your items and Mr. AMW say I look cute *blushes*  Okay, I really shouldn't blush because I was aiming for SEEXXXXXYYYY!  but okay, I'll take cute anytime of the day!

As a breastfeeding mom, I ended up wearing button down tops and shorts MOST of the time, I never really thought about my loungewear or sleepwear after giving birth as I don't get to wear them longer than 2 hours anyway!  

From bathing to feeding to playing, I get drool, water, food and milk all over my shirt so I really don't care about my appearance anymore!  #ManangintheMaking

So thank you Naima for the reminder that moms like me can still look GORGEOUS even at home! 

Naima Sleepwear and Loungewear, by the way was born out of 2 college friends Jacqueline and Amaris' passion for fashion and business.  Thanks to them, they realized comfort is an integral part of any sleepwear and loungewear so they've decided to make Naima and reality!

AMW Reviews: SOFFIA Opulence All Over Face Brush and Blending Brush

Did you know that each time I deep clean my brushes (a.k.a. wash my brushes with brush soap and water) on a weekend, I have this voice inside my head saying: "These brushes are enough!"

And each time I see a new brush set or brand right in front of me (especially those that are made with high quality), my arms go wide and say: "Come to mama!"

When I attended SampleRoom's Thanksgiving party months ago, one of the many exciting things I found in the SampleRoom Eco bag is a black box with a name SOFFIA printed in Gold.  I immediately thought of Sophia Loren right away --- Box pa lang classy na!

Upon opening the box, I felt like there was a spotlight going straight to the 2 brushes with black handle, gold ferrule --- my kind of color combination.

On my blog, I am featuring the 2 brushes I got and I've been using these 2 ever since the SOFFIA world begin! :P

I Wonder:What's Your Favorite Brand of Feminine Wash?

Oohh, such a topic on a Monday huh?
But let's face it, it may not be the topic we want to write about but definitely a topic we would like to talk about!  I have always been a feminine wash user, I'm talking about years....long before organic feminine washes are in the market, I am one of the many "commercially made" feminine wash users and I've used probably almost all the brands available locally.

Let's face it, using regular soap to wash our genital area won't make the cut, why?  Aside from stripping off the external protective barrier in that area, using scented  soap and body wash may cause certain genital infections *ouch*  (feel na feel ba? lol) especially with our weather condition where bacteria can easily rear its super ugly head! 

After I gave birth, the pH balance down there definitely changed (of course I won't discuss more!  lol), most of my favorite feminine washes that I used to love just doesn't feel as effective as it was pre-pregnancy!  Luckily, I recently discovered the brand Sebamed, well not really a discovery as I knew about this brand way back but didn't know it was locally available.  I was told it has been around for a decade, don't ask me why I haven't seen them before!  *laughs*

I have used Sebamed Feminine Intimate wash for a month now and this one is for users who have sensitive skin.

Weekend Food Trip at: Tian Pao Wan

Happy Sunday everyone!
I received a couple of feedback from AMW readers/fellow-food lovers who are sharing their excitement on my weekend food posts!  To be honest, I'm ALWAYS excited to EAT and share my experience dining in a restaurant especially if it is a first time experience for me.

Just like at Tian Pao Wan.

I've heard about the restaurant  from my mom and dad-in-laws a couple of times as they went to this restaurant a couple of times spending great nights with friends and good food.  After inviting us to dine with them so many times, our schedules finally matched and we finally made it last Sunday night! 

Tian Pao Wan could be difficult for most of you to remember (especially non-Chinese readers) so for easy reference and for my ease of typing...let's call the restaurant TPW temporarily!  *lol*  You can't blame me for being lazy, you know where AMW came from! :P

Anyways, back to TPW, Mr. AMW and I are thankful that we spent our dining experience with our family friend who happily did the ordering, me and my husband are both lazy when it comes to menu ordering, the more choices we have in front of us, the longer we'll get to eat as we can't seem to make up our minds! 

Pumpkin Seafood Soup

Php384.00

I actually requested for this as I've always been a fan of Pumpkin soup!  The seafood part was an added bonus and I just have my anti-histamine on hand as I believe my family prefers to have some seafood "bits" on their soup!  So far, I'm glad the soup served has a good texture, not too thick nor too runny. The taste?  It definitely has an added note of sweetness (but not too much).

AMW Reports: Vietura at Sofitel Philippine Plaza

Happy weekend!  By the time you're reading this, I'm doing a shoot for one of my favorite cosmetics brand!  Do follow me on Instagram for updates (@AskMeWhats).

Early this week, after Kyle's monthly checkup, I've decided to visit Vietura Aesthetic Lifestyle located at Sofitel Manila.  I was invited by Jane of Sofitel to try their services, and to be honest, I'm not that keen but I'm always open for something new!
