AskMeMom: Travel with a Baby

Hi AMW Friends!
How are you today? I have a couple of mommy readers who emailed me and asked me how it was to travel with Baby AMW during my most recent US Trip!  I won't lie....it is extremely CHALLENGING but definitely a challenge worth accepting as exploring a new country with the people you love is PRICELESS!

Tip #1 RESEARCH
Prior to visiting San Francisco and Los Angeles, I made research on how the weather was by asking friends and relatives who live there!  I knew San Francisco will be windy and cold so I brought extra jacket and pants for layering! 


This layering may look funny but it helped keep Baby AMW warm!

AMW Wears: Sammydress Blazer on Eazy Fashion Caramia Pop Flowers & Cream Dress Set

"Your closet must be full of clothes!"
That's what my friends usually comment when they see me attend events here and there!  True enough, I do have quite a number of clothes but I'm not the type who would purchase new outfit on every occasion/event!  

Even before being a mom, I knew my priorities in life so I never spend too much on clothing!  I try to purchase basic pieces for me to easily mix and matche just like my recent online purchase from Sammydress and Eazy Fashion.

Okay, I try to veer away from online shopping but as long as I know I get good deals, I wouldn't mind the waiting time!

I've shopped at Eazy Fashion quite a number of times so I'm comfortable with their service and the quality of the clothes they sell.  As for Sammydress, it is my first time to shop with them but so far, I'm quite happy with them!

EazyFashion Caramia Pop Flowers & Cream Dress Set
Retail price: Php880.00 (approx $19.50)
Wholesale price (if you purchase 3 items above): Php632.00 (approx $14.00) 
Free shipping for any single order worth Php1,000.
I have been eyeing this for quite some time as I worry about the length of the dress, but after constant lurking at their website, I finally gave in!  You get 2 items for the price of 1!  That's worth the gamble for sure!  And I'm glad I gave this a go!  The floral print dress screams "NIKKI" all over and the cream cardigan works so well on any outfit!  I can easily pair this with pants, jeans, shorts, skirt etc...!

Since I plan to wear this dress on my recent Burt's Bees x AMW Daisy White Counter Event, I went for a more formal look!  It was the best time for me to pull out my Sammydress Graceful V-Neck Stripe Lining Long Sleeve Solid Color Slimming OL Blazer for Women (okay, that's a mouthful so I'd rather call this a pink blazer).

AMW Reviews: Estee Lauder Pure Color Stay-On Shadow Paint (Halo)

Happy Monday AMW friends!
I had a wonderful busy weekend!  How was yours?
Today, I will be sharing a paint shadow from Estee Lauder.  I haven't really explored much on the eyes for months now as I've been very comfortable with whatever I have!  Urban Decay Primer Potion has always been my number 1 eye primer while it's inexpensive counterpart is still Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer.

As for cream shadow base, I have my favorite MAC paintpots, Bobbi Brown Cream Shadows and a couple of shadow pencils!  Who would've thought after exploring Rustan's, I saw a tiny wonder from Estee Lauder counter?


Estee Lauder Pure Color Stay-On Shadow Paint
Shade: Halo
I always prefer to try natural colored paints as they are easier to work with especially for starters!



Estee Lauder says ---
Go from smoky to wildly intense with non-stop shadows lit with shimmer. Pure pigments in a creamy shadow. Light-emitting dimensional pearls create shimmer to high-metallic finishes. Finger paint it onto lids. Glides on quickly, wears infinitely—all day. 12-hour wear. Crease-free. Won’t fade.

Happy Mother's Day Mama!

Dear Ma,
Happy Mother's Day!
I have always known how difficult it is to be on your shoes!  Raising 4 of us without "yaya", taking care of grandpa and grandma.  You did all the cooking, dishwashing, ironing and a whole lot more without a single complaint from you....I knew back then I had a wonderful mom.

But now that I'm also a mom, I realized....you are not only a wonderful mom but you are an angel sent from God!  The dedication, limitless love and support that you've given us made me into the person that I am now.

Ma, God knows how good of a person you are that's why He gave you second life.  Thanks to Him I have more chances to let you know how much I love and appreciate you!

Mommy AMW and AMW with 2 month old Baby AMW
Happy Mother's Day mama and to all the wonderful moms out there!
Don't miss the chance to let them know how much you love them!
