AMW Cooks: Crunchy Chicken Wrap

Happy Sunday AMW friends!
I hope you don't mind me posting more about recipes rather than restaurants!  Like I said over the past blog posts, I haven't been dining out much since Baby AMW turned into a Toddler AMW!  Fellow moms out there would totally understand right?  I mean seriously, how can you decently take photos of your food when you have a toddler walking around waiting for accidents to happen?  I'm singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" at the moment, dedicated to Kyle!

So back to this week's recipe!  Mr. AMW loves wraps!  Anything you put inside a wrap...hotdogs (eeww), corned beef (eeew), socks (double ewww! Just joking!)  Just to prove a point that he loves wrap, I chanced upon a wrap called Mission Wrap at Robinsons Supermarket and I immediately called his attention and he said YES right away without blinking!  Truth be told, I'm really lazy to do wraps as I think they aren't "full meal" and yet, you take a whole lot of effort to make it!  Think about Bibimbap!  

For the love of my hubby, well..actually, Hubby made this for me and I just assisted! hahahah  

Here's our version of Crunchy Chicken Wrap and it is easy to make!

Ingredients ---

• Chicken breasts
• Lettuce
• Tomatoes
• Pepper
• Salt
• Garlic
• Bread crumbs
• Egg
• Wraps

I Wonder: Which Cover Girl Mascara Do You Like Most?

Okay, I maybe an Energizer Bunny but when it comes to mascaras, I'm one hell of a "cute" turtle!  :P

Blame me for watching too much BabyTV!  I have nothing more to watch but Elephants, Monkeys, Rabbits, Turtles, etc...!

So yeah, I'm such a turtle so I need help!  I was sent 4 wonderful Cover Girl Mascaras a month ago and I can't decide which one to use first!

In case you wonder, here are the 4 variants ---

L-R LashBlast Volume, Clump Crusher, LashBlast Fusion and LashBlast Length

Obviously LashBlast Volume is meant to be used if you prefer to create more volume for your thin and sparse lashes (me!)  I realized I used this mascara so many times in my old FOTDs and Makeup tutorials I didn't even create a decent review!  

AMW Wears: EZRA by Zalora

Happy Monday AMW Friends!
When I wrote about the Vitress Catwalk even I attended, I got emails from readers asking about the dress, I got a text message from my sister reacting to how "mahangin" (cool) my outfit looks and fellow bloggers were joking on that night on how a very simple Nikki Tiu would wear a cut-out dress.

I actually can't believe I wore one myself!  But after sharing my pregnancy photos before giving birth to Baby AMW, why not? :)  I mean seriously, you've seen the whole tummy right?  And as I'm on my mid-30s, I guess when will I wear such clothes?  So yeah, I've decided to seize the day!  hahahaha  Thanks to fellow beauties for being so kind to me (di naman ako napintasan in person! hahaha)

Salon Report: Hairshaft Salon, Podium

First things first, Happy Belated Birthday to my dearest blogger friend Lush Angel and to Mr. Fred Penales of Hairshaft Salon!

2 years ago, I had a hair treatment that took me hours (story HERE) and good friend Angela visited me as she lives close by and a quick chat turned into hours of fun memories! (with Mr. AMW sleeping at the background).  From then on, we knew we are best salon buddies!  And I got pregnant, gave birth and the rest was history!

Because Angela enjoyed my company so much!  *laughs*  (This is my blog, walang hihirit hahaha)  She invited me to have another "salon date" with her at Hairshaft salon (her favorite salon) at Podium.  Because of the location, the long-overdue salon date didn't happen until that fateful day when we both attended Burt's Bees 30th Birthday event and both of our cars are coding and we'd rather spend hours pampering inside a salon! 

Let's talk about Hairshaft Salon, I heard about Hairshaft way back when I used to work at Ortigas area.  My colleague always have good hair day and when asked about where she usually have her hair cut, the answer is always Hairshaft Salon, Podium!  So can you imagine the excitement of me finally meeting the "GODFATHER" Fred?  Owner of Hairshaft Salon?

With all the gorgeous "after" photos of Angela with her gorgeous locks, I knew I had to pry myself away from Baby AMW and finally have my much-needed haircut!  Sorry baby, you may appreciate a nice-looking mommy when you go to school in the future! :P

A group shot prior to our hair-makeover!

Now let's talk about the salon itself!  Upon entering the salon, on a weekday, you would be surprised to see the salon almost full!  Angela told me this is the first time she saw the salon not that crowded.  I mean seriously?  On a weekday?
