AskMeMom: My Red Ribbon Tale

Truth be told, Red Ribbon has always been my choice of cake when I was young, I remember my siblings and I would pitch in our allowance to celebrate my mom's birthday, dad's birthday or their anniversary with a tub of ice cream and a cake from Red Ribbon.  Because for us, a "party" doesn't have to be big, it definitely doesn't require expensive food and drinks, for us, the real celebration includes the presence of the people you love and the idea of eating good food together.

Now that I'm a mom, I think I carried that trait of creating "mini" celebration every now and then!  So with Kyle around, I have more reasons to celebrate and that includes his monthly birthday!  Mr. AMW and I made it a point to set our busy schedule aside and just have a small celebration with a cake and candle and a whole lot of singing (Happy Birthday Song in different languages! lol)

Then looking back at the photos taken, 6 out of 7 cakes were from Red Ribbon!  (Kyle is 7 months old)

Happy Kyle Excited with his 5th Month Birthday Cake

AMW Reviews: Marilou Bio Certified Organic Body Milk and Day Cream

Happy Thursday AMW Friends!
I am so happy with the number of joiners for both my MAC and Benefit giveaway!  Do visit this blog every now and then as there are more products coming in for #AMWxXmasGiveaway ! I am thanking companies who are willing to share their products for my readers to try out!  Life is too short, the least I could do is share! :)  P.S. I hope you guys do the same as well okay?  So..hand me that bread please!  *lol*

Today's review is focused on the word ORGANIC, there are so many brands coming up with ORGANIC products nowadays, I guess it's not just the trend, it is just that consumers are getting smarter and are starting to read the labels and care more about the products they slather on their skin! 

Good job guys!  That would push companies to create better, environmental friendly and health-safe products that we deserve!

Today, I will be sharing a review of a French brand Marilou Bio.  I personally haven't heard about this brand until Rebecca of www.cutieverse.com recommended me to try them myself.  

Here are 2 of the many Marilou Bio products I get to try ---

Marilou Bio Certified Organic Body Milk

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!"  

#MatigasTalagaAngUlo #SabikSaBrushes

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
