Kracie is finally in the Philippines!

I am one hell of an online shopper!  I really am and I'm proud to announce that!  I like browsing through various online stores (locally and internationally).  I don't always shop online, sometimes, I just want to update myself on brands out there that I may look into when I get to visit the country of origin.

One of my favorite online store Sasa (www.sasa.com) sells different brands of International and Asian Cosmetics and skincare!  I've browsed through their website (particularly BRANDS) so many times I think I already memorized all the brands available in that website!  That's why when I got a care package from Beautybox Corp. called Kracie, my heart immediately took a leap!  Yes!  It is a brand I know, I've read about it and seen them on sale on huge online stores like Sasa.

If you browse through Kracie Japan website, you'll see that the company has a long history!  And not only that, their brand goes as wide as offering not only toiletries and cosmetics but also Pharmaceuticals and foods!  

Thanks to BeautyBox Corp (the company who brought us K-Palette) brought in Kracie's bestselling products!  

*sigh*  I admit, I have so much body products but receiving these as gifts definitely sets my heart on fluttery mode!  I can never get tired on skincare with gorgeous packaging and wonderful scent!


And if you are still on a gift-giving mode!  You may want to look at each of these products and the price tag!

Merry Christmas From AMW Family!




Today is Jesus' Birthday, I want to greet Jesus Happy Happy Birthday!

Every Christmas, we receive gifts here and there and sometimes, we tend to forget the true meaning of Christmas.  Yes, it is Jesus' birthday, HE is the man who gave US everything!  So the least we could do is to GIVE (more) this season.  Giving maybe easy but the true meaning of "giving or gifting" is with that of a happy and grateful heart.

So today's post, I am jump-starting what I'm grateful for and you guys can continue this gratitude chain!

I, Nikki Tiu --- Mrs. AMW, am grateful for Kyle Nash.

Our first formal family photo taken at exactly December 25, 2013.  


Kyle's existence was celebrated even way before he was born!  I can literally feel his excitement when mommy finally reunited with her favorite McDonald's character --- the Grimace!  Yes, we had that connection back then.

Happy 2nd Year Sampleroom!



These 4 girls literally changed the "beauty industry" when they launched Sampleroom.ph 2 years ago....wait...1, 2, 3, I did say 4 right?


Here you go!  Diana, Sophie, Nats and Kats, these girls are the amazing women behind www.sampleroom.ph.  I've said it before an will say it again, #TryBeforeYouBuy is definitely the best way to spend your hard-earned money wisely!  Trust me, there's just no other way (especially skincare products)!  I used to be so scared of trying out testers or ask for samples because I feel so "diyahe" (shy).  I'm sure a lot of you fellow shoppers can relate and thankfully, there is a venue to grab samples (some are even full sized!)

Gift Ideas: For Kikay Car Owners (Carry-All Bag)




*sigh* I wished I read about this earlier!  There was just this ONE HOUR window for me to shop for our Wedding Godparents and Kyle's Godparents last weekend and I was literally running around inside the mall --- alone ---- not knowing what to buy!  And just when Christmas is literally HERE, I see these Carry-All Bags / Trunk Organizers from fellow Blogger friend and I just had to share!  

With a toddler around, my car looks like it housed a family of 10 when there's literally like 2.5 of us humans!  *laughs*  The 0.5 human was the one taking up all the car space!  (Sorry Kyle, I'm not blaming you!) 

So truthfully, when I saw these Carry-All Bag/trunk organizers, I am sure I would appreciate such gift so I'm sharing this Gift Idea for Kikay or even non-Kikay car owners out there!  


 There are so many designs to choose from to suit the personality of the receiver!  If unsure, you can always go for the Classic Carry-All, the color is in red pa which is a lucky color for New Year!

Gift Ideas: For Moms with Kids




As a mom, discussing about letting the kids use electronic gadgets is a discussion that would probably take a lifetime!

Personally speaking, there is no right or wrong answer.  For me, everything should always be in moderation!  I for instance, let Toddler AMW use my phone or tablet every now and then but he understands when I'm using it so he isn't allowed to grab it just because he wants to!  As for tablet, he uses it with a limit, let's say maximum of thrice a week?  Not more than an hour each time.
