Weekend Food Trip at: Bill's Bear Cafe, Robinsons Place Ermita + CBTL's New Offerings

I think it was a sudden decision to stop by Robinsons Place Ermita last weekend because we need to buy something!  And as always, the Mr. and Mrs. always ask each other: "Where to eat?"  and finally, after seeing Bill's Bear Cafe right at the center of the East Wing of Robinsons Place Ermita for quite some time, we knew we had to give the restaurant a try considering how hungry we were! 

Thankfully, the restaurant provides high chair, one of the best kind of high chair I must say (with longer back rest).  So made the quickest decision by ordering their "meals". 

But while typing this, we really regret not ordering their pizzas!  

Diced Beef served with Dry Garlic Slices in Mushroom Sauce

Php389.00

The beef is soft and tender and tastes really good!  I can't complain about the serving as the price is just okay for a set meal with rice, a bit of salad and creamy soup.  I can't give 2 thumbs up for the Mushroom Sauce though!  It was just okay, not the mushroom sauce my tongue was accustomed to.

AskMeMom: How to Get Toddler to Brush Teeth

I never thought that day will arrive!  I've tried all sorts of tricks to make my son brush his own teeth!  Until this fateful day....

Before we go into that, well, the struggle is REAL when it comes to brushing your toddler's teeth!  I'm not sure about you but I envy moms who post photos of their toddlers holding a toothbrush with a smile brushing their own teeth!  

"What's wrong with my kid?"

Well, nothing's wrong!  I realized that in every activity we want our kid to learn, it has to be a fun journey for him!  Just to share to you, I've tried ALL sorts of "FUN" activities.

Example: 

• Playing "Brush Your Teeth" videos on Youtube while I try to brush his teeth.
• Sing to him "Brush Your Teeth" song to him with crazy facial expressions and actions while I try to brush his teeth.
• Purchase him all sorts of "cool" toothbrushes.
• Purchase him all sorts of flavored toothpaste.
• Have someone hold his face and arms as I forcefully brush his teeth (Okay, this isn't fun for both of us but I'm desperate guys!)

Then I realized, the characters I purchase him aren't really his favorites!  He doesn't even know who those characters are!  So, my son may not be the kid who likes to watch cartoons (he's into educational videos still!)  I realized, there's one video that never fail to make him laugh EVERY time!

Eureka Moment: Travalo And Perfume Pod

So, finally!  Another great find from AMW!

Imagine my delight when I got the Travalo Perfume Pods?  I mean, where were you tiny bits from Heaven when I needed you most?  Ever since I became a mom, I NEVER wear perfumes before going out, instead, I wear them whenever I'm in the car or when I'm out!  Kyle Nash is a hugger, so I make sure I don't have anything too scented when I hug him before heading out of the door!  So what do I have inside my bag?  This ONE AND ONLY sample size scent from Michael Kors!  

The Michael Kors scent isn't bad!  I LOVE it actually, but having to wear them EACH and EVERY TIME I go out, well, ahmm....is kinda boring!  I used to change my scents DAILY!  So imagine how hard it is for me to say loyal for just ONE scent just because I do not want to 'lug' all my full-sized perfumes whenever I go out?

SO THIS IS INDEED A EUREKA MOMENT!

Travalo, the brand, is originated in United Kingdom.  These are perfect solutions for those who want to travel as light as possible!  

Make Up For Ever Aqua XL Launch

I have loved Make Up For Ever ever since I started makeup artistry!  I remembered applying for membership when I attended makeup school just because I know this is a great investment!  When it comes to longevity, long-lastingness and amazing pigmentation, Make Up For Ever fits the bill!

One of my favorite eye pencils to date is from MUFE, and this year, Make Up For Ever took a notch higher and collaborated with Charli XCX for the worldwide launch of Aqua XL Eye Pencil.  These smudge-proof, smear-proof, sweat-proof and water-proof babies are even BETTER!

I cannot imagine how these pencils can get any better!  But hey, it's great to challenge a brand that is already no. 1 in this field!

I couldn't miss an event from the brand because I knew I will have fun!

Free Flower Crowns for all attendees!

I used to purchase this brand online and I'm so happy after several years of blogging, I can finally say, there are so many brands I can only wish for are now readily available locally!
