Something New: My Current Coffee Love

Hi everyone!  Who loves coffee?

Well I do!!!  I really do!  My close friends and blog readers know how much of a coffee-drinker I am!  I would drink 3-4 cups of coffee a day (brewed and instant), but my coffee intake was halved since my life has been a whirlwind during these past few months!   

My decreasing coffee intake does not decrease my knowledge of coffee!  *laughs* Go with me to the coffee aisle in any supermarket and I can give you feedback on most of the instant coffee brands! So technically, I'm still a coffee-queen in my coffee world!  :P

You may ask, what keeps me busy these days?  It is me being a first-time mommy and yaya-less, let's not forget the move (we're still not done unpacking) plus the upcoming U.S. trip that we're all looking forward to!  But of course, with my time management skills, I can squeeze in at least 2 coffee breaks, the first in early morning when Baby AMW is still asleep and the second in the evening when he dozes off.  Isn't it obvious my schedule is super dependent on this little monkey?  (Don't tell him I said that! hehehe)   

So back to my coffee break. I want my 2 cups of coffee a day to be worthwhile!  Like I always tell Mr. AMW, "Seize every single moment, eat and drink what you crave for and not settle for less!" (No wonder I'm not losing weight!  *laughs*)

Thankfully, NESCAFÉ Cappuccino is back!  This is one instant coffee that does not taste "instant" at all! Let me tell you (or show you) why...

 

Revlon Colorstay Base and Top Coat Review

Hi everyone!
I am here wide awake at almost 2:30am LA time while it is 5:30pm in Manila.  Kyle just went to bed so I guess I'm left nothing to do but blog.

I have received Revlon's ColorStay base and top coat last year when I was still pregnant so I gave this pair and skipped and waited until I gave birth to try out this combo.  I know I have stopped doing nail art for almost a year (Promise, I'll get back to that) but I did not stop applying nail polish!  With my very busy life as a mom, nail polish chip in less than a week so it was a pleasure for me to try Revlon's newest base and top coat.

AMW Reviews: Zenutrients Blueberry, Vanilla, Milk & Caramel

I seldom review or talk about soaps as I tend to use mostly body washes or in my very dry skin state, I prefer DOVE soaps!  Thanks to Sampleroom I get to try other soap brands especially ones made locally called Zenutrients.

I brought with me Zenutrients Blueberry, Vanilla, Milk & Caramel soap on my US Trip I had this feeling this soap will be extra moisturizing for my skin especially on a cold weather like San Francisco!  I'm ready to share my thoughts on this soap who traveled all the way to the US with me!

Tip for the Day: Travel with Baby

Happy Tuesday AMW Friends!
I'm right here, sitting in my friend's dining room enjoying a cup of Decaf on a cold weather!  The weather is really nice and cool here in San Francisco and I can't believe a week has passed and the AMW family is heading off to Los Angeles early morning! 

Well, the moment you're reading this, I'm already in LA so don't forget to follow me on Instagram (@AskMeWhats) for updates! :) 

A lot of my friends and readers who have babies are emailing me to ask how it is to travel with a baby!  Seriously speaking, this is one of the most challenging (and tiring) trip me and Mr. AMW encountered, but of course, I'm glad a bit of research and a lot of "mother's instincts" helped us in making this trip a tad bit smoother for both us and the baby! 

I'm sure there are more tips along the way but while it is still fresh on my mind, I'm definitely sharing some of the really effective tips and tricks I've done that worked!

Pack a separate bag for all baby essentials

I originally planned to carry only 2 bags for all our stuff, good thing I've decided to pack a 'smaller' check-in luggage bag and filled it all up with baby essentials!  Seriously, for such a tiny person, they get LOADS of stuff to bring!  

Don't hesitate to bring day and night clothes!  Always check the weather before you leave and make sure to keep your baby warm on a country with colder season.  What I do is that I separate tops and bottoms, bring a LOT of diapers and baby bottles.  As for the smaller items like socks, bibs and towels, I separate them in Zip Lock bags so it will be easier for us to grab the items we need without rummaging through a huge luggage for a small item!

AMW Reviews: Colour Collection Lip Therapy

Hi AMW friends!
I'm now sitting comfortably at my friend's dining area at 4:10pm Manila Time  but 1:10am California time!  If you ask me if we settled in comfortably enough?  Yes and No.  Yes we're pretty much comfortable with the places we stay but NO our body clock is messed up! 

Just so some of you may not get bored with my US trip report, I've decided to share my most recent Lip Therapy which I've been loving so far from Colour Collection.  The Colour Collection Lip Therapy is Bianca Valerio's favorite lip balm as of the moment and after using this for more than a week (especially here where it's cold and dry), I very happy to share my thoughts on this!

Housed in a white and gold packaging making this look like a regular lipstick rather than a lip balm!
