FLY Mid-Year Collection 2014

Humpy Day! How's your Wednesday so far?
Sunglasses!  I love them to death!  I remembered not leaving the house without at least 1 pair of sunglass!  And mind you, there are times I bring 2 or 3 just because I want to make sure it works with my outfit! (arte ba?) 

And Fly Shades isn't new to me as I have been using their sunglasses for quite some time, aside from the fact that they are partly owned by my really good friend, I really like the designs they came up with and for a sunglass that is inexpensive, as long as you take good care of them, I have them for years!

And thankfully, I'm not out-of-the-loop when it comes to sunglasses fashion!  Here's 2014 mid-year collection!  And mind you, after this post, these glasses went straight to the people who loves to wear sunglasses too!  My family!  1 goes to my sister-in-law, aunt and dad-in-law!  Sharing is really caring and I don't mind giving these to people who can use them dearly!

AMW Reports: K-Palette 1 Day Magic event and 1Day Magic Products

How do you feel when you enter in a room with cute pink dresser loaded with cute Japanese products and magazines?

No matter how much make-up I currently own and use, I still shriek deep inside!  But on the exterior, I kept my cool!

That's what happened to me during the K-Palette 1 Day Magic event that happened last week at R Space, Makati.  How could a product like K-palette gets any better?  When they are housed in very cute packaging and obviously, they are still the wonderful K-palette products that deliver!  One of my favorite Asian Cosmetics brand!

K-Palette 1Day Magic Dessert Bar

I have to admit, I got a bit sidetracked with their desserts table and went back to what's new and what's a 1Day Magic!

Here are the 4 products that's causing all the "magic"

AMW Reviews: Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Creme

My feet have always been the most ignored part of my body!  But thanks to Beauty Blogging, I need to test as much "beauty-related" products as possible because not everyone is as lazy as I am right?

Ah huh, a bit!  I've been Blogging for more than 8 years now but as you browse through the "Product Reviews" segment, I have less than 10 foot care products mentioned in this blog.

And I need to do something about it!  Actually, it was a wake-up call when our house help exclaimed: "Ma'am, kahit mayayaman pala ma dry at may kalyo ang paa!" (Madam, I just realized even rich people have dry, calloused feet!)   

NOTE FROM AUTHOR:  I am definitely not mayaman (rich) but it was funny how BRUTALLY Honest (and tactless) our house help was! *laughs* But seriously, it was an "OUCHY" statement!  (Sagad to the bones ha!)

Can I just protect my image?  *laughs*  I used to have pretty nice feet but ever since Baby AMW turned into a "walking and running monster", I tend to stay barefoot at his play area thus the "legit" excuse of having dry and calloused feet!  

Legit reasoning or not, I need to do something Fast before it's too late!  Every night I put Baby AMW to sleep, I take the extra time to apply Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Creme and wear socks for the past month!  So far, here are my thoughts if this extra "beauty" step is worth it or not!

Burt's Bees says ---

Your feet support you each and every day. How about a little love? Made with Coconut Oil and other natural ingredients, our foot creme revives and rejuvenates your dry, oh-so neglected feet while Rosemary and Peppermint Extracts refresh your weary soles. You’ll go nuts for it.

#SplashofSummer with my Sampleroom Family!

I'm holding a "SampleRoom Rocks" card because I totally believe THEY ROCK!
They rock my world as a beauty blogger when I joined them as they never fail to surprise me on very important events in my life!

My birthday

My pregnancy

Giving Birth

Kyle's First Birthday

Mother's Day

and a whole lot more!

I'm not referring to the gift-giving but the fact that they never fail to forget every milestones that happened in my life!  They showered me with love and attention to let me know how important I am to them. 

That's why when I got a whole day out of town invite on a weekend, mind you, it is very difficult to pry me away from Kyle, I told myself I had to be there, to show them how much I love and appreciate them too!

*International readers may find wearing sarongs to be comfortable especially if you don't want to show off your body! :) Try the online seller site that I chanced upon that sells really cute sarongs called Fair Winds Sarongs at FairWindsSarongs.com.

Last Saturday we met up at Makati 6750 Starbucks for a quick breakfast and get together.  We arrived Pico De Loro, Nasugbu Batangas at 10:00am with a huge welcome sign!

AMW Cooks: Talong Burger (Eggplant Burger)

Happy Sunday!
It's about food once again and this is the second most requested recipe!  *yay*  Firstly, I want to thank everyone for taking interest in my simple cooking!  I appreciate all the love and vote of confidence over Instagram!  

Back when I was a teenager, I dislike Eggplant so much I literally ran away from it!  My mom loves to cook "Tortang talong" but, because I would never touch Eggplant to save my dire life, instead of just mixture of egg and talong, she would include Pork and egg and I would scrape the meat off and leave the eggplant behind!

Now that I'm older, and wiser!  I love eggplant so much I don't mind cooking 2 dishes just because Mr. AMW doesn't like this vegetable!  And because I wanted to make it look more presentable, I created "Talong Burger" (eggplant burger) instead!

Just so you know, this tactic can fool your kids into eating vegetables!  :)  Baby AMW, you'll have your turn soon! :P
