AMW Reviews: Baby Care Plus+

Baby bath care could be expensive!  If you're on a budget, I understand you are probably on a hunt for good, affordable baby bath care that is "hiyang" to your baby!

I actually found one that works so well on Baby AMW I'm excited to share to mommy readers out there!  You definitely have more options to choose from when it comes to taking care of our baby's skin!

Baby Care Plus+ Baby Bath

Baby Care Plus+ says ---
Baby Care Plus+ baby bath and soap contain Lamesoft Skin Protector, which forms a natural barrier around the skin that protects while cleansing. Baby Care Plus+ baby soap also contains olive oil extracts for softer, smoother skin!

AMW Reports: Don't Retouch Me, Instablur Me!

If you live in  Metro Manila, you probably shared my sentiments on how crazy it was last week!  I am not wasting the space here to complain about power shortage because I'm glad our family is safe and sound!  And thankfully Baby AMW has been such a wonderful baby we survived 4 days blackout with a small USB fan!   

I'm glad I need to be at SM Mall of Asia last Saturday for a makeup workshop or else, I will be cancelling out on the event from The Body Shop!  I wasn't feeling well that day due to stress and no sleep but God is good, He made sure to find ways to tell me He loves me and He's always looking after me, how?

By telling me I am still beautiful no matter how puffy my eyes look via The Body Shop "Say Yes to Natural Beauty" #noretouchtbsph campaign.

 Let's rewind to the star of that day!  The Instablur Make-Up Primer!  The "primer world" has been hush hush for months and I'm excited something new is here!  What do we expect from the TBS Instablur?

Initial Thoughts on: Mary Kay Skinvigorate Cleansing Brush and Foaming Cleanser





If you're a Beauty Blogger, you probably heard about Clarisonic and you probably own one or wanted one at least once in your entire blogging career!

I was one of them!  But luckily, I got a Skinsonic Skincare System  which I used and loved for almost a year!  In case you're wondering, no, it didn't die on me but it went through a horrible accident!  Our house help dropped it (hopefully unintentionally) and it died in an instant!  Can't blame Skinsonic, it was at least 4 feet high!

For the remaining months, I learned to rely on My Konjac Sponge for twice a week exfoliation and so far, my skin can manage without this high-tech electronic gadget.

Recently, I received a Mary Kay Skinvigorate Cleansing Brush kit and boy oh boy was I excited to use it!  I immediately used it and have been using it for the past 2 weeks!  So here I am sharing my initial thoughts!

Are you ready?

Eureka Moment: Marvel Liquid Hand Soap

What are these?
Your guess is probably: Alcogel 

Thank God you're wrong!  Because I personally do not use alcohol in "gel base" for years!  Why?  Ever since I heard that they stick to your hands and needs to be washed off as much as possible!  I may not worry about it if I don't have a baby constantly biting my fingers!  So I have an alcohol spray in  my bag, inside my care, in every corner of my house for years!

Of course, on days, alcohol isn't enough!  Example: Baby's ooopsie when we're out!  There are days the public washroom do not even have hand wash or liquid soap inside!  That's when I started to carry my own liquid soap to wash my hands after wiping off baby's poopsie-bells!  (sorry, it sounds cute that way! :P)

What if you get a liquid soap holder that is as cute as this?  Perfect for the husbands who are lazy to carry hand soaps and even more perfect for kiddos who are going to school!  I said kiddos (instead of boys) as trust me, even girls like me want these!!!!

L-R Spiderman, Wolverine, Captain America and Spider web! 
I am so itching to create a nail art with these cute characters!   If you want a similar tutorial, I've created one years ago called The Avengers Nails.

Now let's go back to the Marvel Liquid Hand Soap!  Yes, they are hand soaps!  I love using them when I'm out and they are so cute!  I get a lot of: "Where did you get that?" everytime I use it!  Such a wonderful conversation starter right?

Choose Your First "AMWCooks" Recipe!

Good morning!!!!
Can you imagine and feel how happy I am today?
After 4 days of NO ELECTRICITY...we finally saw the light!

I don't want to talk in details how difficult it is not to have electricity especially if you have a baby around but I thank God for giving me such an understanding baby!  It wasn't an easy ride but Mr. AMW and I survived the ordeal! 

Today, I am sharing an exciting side of my blog!  I am finally....after having all the "downtime" during blackout to think....sharing recipes!  Keep in mind I am in no way an expert cook!  But of course, with all the research I've done plus thanks to my brother and sister AND MOM who are really good cooks for sharing their recipes!  I am finally creating AMW Cooks!  Again, no promises!  The pictures aren't great and I tend to get engrossed in my cooking I can't deal with the "step by step" picture-taking! 

So to start off my AMW Cooks series, please vote for the first dish that you want me to share!  Of course, I'll share recipes on all these dishes but I want my first one to be really an "in demand" one! (arte no?)
