AMW Reports: MYOH 2014

I have only a total of 2 pairs of Havaianas, very simple baby pink color and the recent one which I got from Dove's First Summit in white.  Both are simple yet girly and I wear both a lot!  Though just a pair of slippers, they are super comfortable and I wouldn't mind adding more "Havis" in my collection!

When I got an invite to join Make Your Own Havaianas 2014 (MYOH2014), I made sure not to miss this event!  Though this is MYOH's 8th year, this is my first time to join the MYOH craze so I'm glad I was with blogger friend Lush Angel on this!

This year, Havaianas returned to its Brazilian roots as they complement pins with Brazilian Vibe!

To my dearest AMW friends!

Want to make "chikka" with me about skincare/makeup?

Finally!  There's a venue for us!  Thanks to Burt's Bees Philippines for inviting me to be their guest blogger this coming May 11th at Beauty Bar Trinoma!  

It will be a fun afternoon talking about what we love most!  And of course, Burt's Bees came up with a new range of products called Daisy White --- the answer to "I want brighter skin"!

Burt's Bees PH is giving away 7 slots for my dear AMW family!  I would love to meet you guys so please follow mechanics if you can make it!  Please make sure you can make it to the event if you join this contest so as not to waste the slot given to us! (Sayang naman di ba?)

Aside from attending the workshop, the 7 lucky winers will get Burt's Bees surprises too!  *yay*!

AMW x Burt's Bees Gives: Burt's Bees Lip Glosses

Happy Tuesday AMW friends!

I'm sharing my current lip gloss love from Burt's Bees!  Burt's Bees has always been known for their Hand Salve, Foot Creme and Lipbalms!  But lip glosses?  I just knew about them late last year and I'm a happy camper as these glosses are lightweight, super non-sticky and they actually come in variety of shades!  They're not highly pigmented but the glosses give a good "oomph" of color perfect for this season!

How To: Sparkly Minus the Jingle Bells Look

Okay, before I hear any negative reactions, spare my "pa-cute" cover photo!  This look was actually inspired by my "teen" and young readers!  Well...readers who are "young at hearts" like moi can also sport this look to look fresh and young this summer!

This look was inspired by my Laneige Winterland Magic Makeup Collection which I got last Christmas!  That explains the title of this blog post!  I am not the type who would wear "glittery" eyeshadow just because it is Christmas!  So I guess I'm one hardheaded Makeup artist who decides to pick this palette up just when the heat was turning up!  

I Wonder: Do You Splurge for your Baby's Shoes?

Hi fellow mommies!
How are you?  I have this question that has been bugging me for months!  Well, I'm one of those "practical" moms who know when to splurge or save!  I guess I got that from my mom and dad who did an amazing job raising all 4 of us!  A lot of you may think Baby AMW is spoiled because he's my only child.  As surprising as it may sound, you're wrong!  I guess I grew up with a strict mom and dad who made me learn the value of money at an early age and I want to instill that on my son!

Do you agree?

So back to my I Wonder topic!  Mr. AMW and I are quite lucky to have friends and family who were so nice to give us hand-me-downs on clothes, toys and shoes!  I don't mind splurging a bit on clothing especially when he needs to attend a party especially HIS own party!  *laughs*  but when it comes to shoes, I used to be a firm believer of "NOT SPLURGING" on shoes as everyone knows how fast they outgrown their shoes!
