AMW Reports: Watsons Bath to Basics

For someone who juggles various jobs from being an employee, a makeup artist, a wife and a mom, a lot of my friends would ask me: "Do you even have time for yourself?"  Honestly speaking, not much!  But of course, out of the 24 hours, I try to give myself at least a couple of minutes of "me" time!  And would you believe it when I say, the only "Me" time that I can get is my shower time?  And I take 2 of them! (Excuse to have more me time!)

That's why when I got an invite to Watsons Bath to Basics event held at Neo Ki Spa, BGC, I told myself I have to be there as I get my bath essentials from where else?  Watsons!  Feel free to tell me if you do too!


For someone who frequents at Watsons, I can't believe I'm seeing a lot of new products I probably didn't take notice of!  Lots of the Watsons labeled products I used to salivate when I travel to other countries, fortunately, now, I don't have to!  We definitely have broader range (especially on bath products) available locally!
 
On the day of the event, Watsons Philippines launched the Bath to Basics campaign not only to educate us about the importance of maintaining and boosting their bathing habits to achieve better health and skin, but also for us to learn the different body care products available to help complete our bath regimen --- from bar soap to body wash, body scrubs to bath salts!  Yes, there are so much more to choose from to fit your body needs!

AMW Cooks: Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Happy Sunday!
The reason why I've been posting recipes nowadays instead of food reviews is because, well..my life has really been very busy with baby AMW around and going out to eat is almost non-existent!  I can probably dine out (peacefully) during events but when I'm out with my little one, my focus is on him, not food!  So you have to bear with me if you don't like to cook and you see all these recipes!

On the other hand, if you don't know how to cook and you feel like cooking is a whole new "alien nation" for you, this may help as my recipes are straightforward and you can find most of the ingredients in regular supermarket or even inside your fridge!

Here's my simple, easy-to-cook Sweet & Sork Pork recipe!  You use the same sauce for fish and chicken!


Ingredients:
  • Ground Pork
  • Egg
  • Soy Sauce
  • Chopped carrots
  • Del Monte Tomato paste
  • Del Monte Pineapple tidbits
  • Red Bell Pepper
  • Corn Starch
  • Pepper
  • Salt
  • Vinegar
  • Sugar
  • Garlic and Onion
Now let's start with the fried meatballs!
