Banila Co. Christmas Gift Ideas

So Banila Co. launched in Manila last year and the brand was in steady-mode for quite some time.  Then, when I passed by their branch at Robinsons Manila branch as I was rushing to complete my Holiday Shopping list turned into a Store Photo-Op because the brand changed not only the look of the store but the packaging and even pricing!  

The all-new Banila Co now comes in sleeker and more modern packaging and more product choices especially on skincare! 

So, I had to take a photo on the "I Woke Up Like This" station even if I really look like I literally woke up and walked straight into the store --- in rubber shoes!

Kyle's Holiday Health Buddy!

As a busy mom, I almost NEVER have a down time, I'm always rushing from one meetings to another sneaking some events in between as I also include driving my son to and from school as I do my errands in between!  

Jersey Jumpsuit/Romper by Uniqlo

Crazy right?  Well, yes, and if you ask me how I find time and energy for that!  I always joke about taking several cups of coffee as my "vitamin" to keep me going!  But truthfully, I depend highly on my round of vitamins to prevent me from catching infectious diseases --- which of course, will put my family's health at risk too!

When my son started school, I noticed he gets sick more often as he gets more exposed to kids and people in general.  And you know how preschoolers are!  Sharing toys, huddling close together inside an air-conditioned room.

CLIO, since its' arrival in our shores, got the name of "Bad A**" concealer brand from...well, Beauty Bloggers and me!  

Check out my review on CLIO Kill Cover Conceal-dation!  This is one of those concealer that was highly recommended by the SA for my skin type but I still picked this one because of raves although I was advised by SA that this works better for normal or oily skin users!

Makeup World Cover|Up Pressed Powder Review

The battle of a good pressed powder or setting powder continuous!  It has always been a fight between users with dry skin or oily skin!  Oily skin individuals of course are looking for ones that set really well and controls oil while we (dry skin represent!)  are looking for setting powders that are non-drying yet makes our skin looks radiant, healthy and glowing!

How difficult it is to find one that works for both skin type?

I think I did, but I just wish they come in more shades!

Dr. Kong Shoes For Mommy and Son

I've seen Dr. Kong Shoes stores several times but never thought of going in the stores to try out their shoes.  Why?  Because based from experience, those footwear brands who market themselves to be super comfortable are mostly uncomfortable!  

Because I have always been very particular about my footwear of choice, I have to thank Yen Dreyfus for inviting me to Dr. Kong's 6th Birthday Party with my son!  Because through her, I get to understand and try the brand that both me and my son are starting to love and seriously depend on!

Dr. Kong Healthy Shoes Shop is known for their "Check and Fit" foot examination and insole fitting service. 

I was able to try this during the event.  Nothing complicated, all you need to do is stand on top of this "machine" and I will know my feet condition for the sales staff to recommend the most suitable pair of shoes!
