Sheer Cheek Gel For Fair skin!

Two years ago, I reviewed my first Pixi by Petra Sheer Cheek Gel in Flushed!  I mentioned there are a total of 2 shades to choose from and Flushed is actually a nice colored cheek stain that can be used by fair to dark complexion!  They are build-able, easy to apply and feels oh-so-good!

To some, they are still scared to use such shade based from the color on tube so here I am, two years after, ready to share to you the perfect shade for light to medium complexion!

The Pixi by Petra Sheer Cheek Gel in Rosy!

Rosy looks pretty bright on packaging but in reality, upon application, it lives up to its name --- sheer!  With the similar consistency as the Flushed shade, it has a gel-like texture that feels like liquid upon application and finishes off matte on cheeks!  

AskMeMom: Kyle's Baon!

When Kyle started preschool, I have so many issues I have to deal with!

1. Parking space at his preschool.
2. What to do as I wait for him under the sun without good internet signal.  (3 full hours)
3. The snack that I need to prepare for him on a daily basis.  (Di na pwede yung cookies ng cookies sawa na din si Kyle!)

I know I know, these aren't even issues to begin with but if you're a first-time mom, you just to make sure everything is smooth-flowing for your kid! Imagine the excitement when I recently got Lady's Choice sandwich spread in Roast Beef  and Chicken BBQ !  The 2 new variants inspired me to do this!

As you all know, one of the bonding moments I do with Kyle Nash is to have him sit beside me whenever I prepare his food!  I want him to be part of everything I do --- a bonding moment na din between us!

Truth be told, it is a first for him to try both spread, he didn't like it at first but after seeing me and his dad devour both sandwiches, he finally went ahead and had his first real bite!  So far, it was a success!  He liked it!

How to Kiss Aging Goodbye?

One of my ultimate anti-aging secret is to stay happy!  I kow it's easier said than done!  I've had my fair share of problems and challenges, but as I always share to my friends: "Live each day like there's no tomorrow."  That really works.

BUT, as much as staying happy is the key to looking youthful, I can't control mother nature!  It is normal for every human being to "age" due to stress and bad habits!  Unfortunately, laughing too much can also add up to aging!  *sniff* Okay, that's complicated, stay happy but NOT TOO HAPPY!

But instead of controlling my inner happiness, I'd rather do something on the exterior!  How?  By using anti-aging products!  I may have started out late (around 28 or 29?).  But for YOU my dear young readers, it's never too early to start taking care of your skin, body and HAIR (yes!  Hair!) 

 

Thankfully, Watsons (my favorite one-stop beauty store) came up with a campaign that will remind each one of us to start taking care of ourselves as early as 20s with their latest anti-aging campaign --- KISS AGING GOODBYE!

Guess what?  I wore them all!

Weekend Food Trip at: Banapple Pies and Cheesecakes

We have tried to dine-in at Banapple for the longest time!  They're always packed and my whole family can't seem to wait each time we visit there!  A couple of weeks ago, my very good friend came from the US for a vacation and we decided to take her out for a shopping trip at Robinsons Galleria!  All of us didn't have a decent lunch and it was mid-afternoon already!  So it was a good timing to finally get a good seat at Banapple!  We wanted feel-good-food at the same time good for her kiddos too!
