Weekend Food Trip at: Mel's Diner and Denny's

Hi AMW friends!
Finally, food post for our US trip!  In San Francisco, we were so tired and probably jet-lagged especially on our first 3 days so the Food Coma I was expecting didn't happen as we literally have a messed up schedule on eating and sleeping!

As tired and sleepy as we are, we need to eat and we did managed to get into 2 diners that is quite famous in the city!  Mel's Diner and Denny's!  Both diners' closing time is late!  Perfect for very late night customers like the AMW family!

Mel's Diner



Once you get in Mel's diner, you definitely get the "diner" feel you see in most American Movies.  In my mind, I thought of milk shakes, fries and a whole-lotta dancing!

AMW Reviews: Too Cool For School Egg Mousse Pack

Happy Saturday!
My US Trip will be over soon!  I'm heading back to Manila on Sunday (US time, it's a Monday Philippine time).  I will definitely miss both cities I've visited and of course, my dear friends and relatives whom we spent quality time with along the way.  Though Kyle won't be able to remember all these, I'm sure he appreciates the cool weather :)

Today, I will be sharing a review on one of the few facial "mousse" that I've tried.  I'm not really a fan of masks and I don't have the luxury of time to really test them out but the newest one from Too Cool For School perked up my interest!  We all know how good egg is for our skin so having a "packed" egg mousse pack ready to be used anytime of the day is something I look forward to!  I have to be honest with you guys though, I've used this not more than 5 times so my review could be premature!  Don't worry, I'll definitely update this post if there are any changes!

Too Cool For School says ---
Too Cool for School Egg Mousse Pack is a wash off type essence pack with very soft texture.  It forms very fine lather like genuine mousse, helping remove excessive sebum and impurities without leading to tight sensation in addition to the functions of whitening, moisturizing and nourishing.  The contained protein and vitelline extracted mainly from eggs are great skin moisturizers to refine your skin and make the skin shine with radiance.

Too Cool for School Egg Mousse Pack will turn your skin to become as smooth as the egg surface.  This is for all skin types, to use Day or Night.

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!
