Christmas Essentials Delivered Straight to Your Doorstep!



That's all I've been doing as I cannot handle the traffic and busy schedule nowadays.

Thanks to online shopping app like Honestbee who has been consistently partnering with my favorite supermarket and stores! 

This time, with Shopwise!


And truthfully, this happened to me so many times!  Though I do my groceries once or twice a week when my son is in school, I always ended up "missing an ingredient" whenever I start cooking!  I guess I get easily distracted whenever I go from aisle to aisle purchasing items I don't need instead of things I really need.

And the best part?  I do not need to carry these items from the supermarket down to the parking lot!  Seriously, ang bigat minsan ha!

So to help me get through the jam packed times, Honestbee, Asia's fastest growing food service has partnered with another leading hypermarket chain (one of my favorite!)  --- SHOPWISE.

And because of this app, I can now bring everything I need especially for Holiday Gifting essentials straight to my doorstep!  Brands such as Papa Alfredo, Sunharvest, SnapMax and Southdale Farm, and also quality affordable wines from French Cellar, Wine Makers Reserve, and Red Peak to complete you holiday dinners.

And what excites me the most?  The fact that Shopwise always gives to most competitive pricing and unique finds that I can't seem to find in other supermarket!


Check out my loot from Shopwise!

Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum Review


Finally putting up the most talked about Serum when Innisfree arrived in the Philippines - the Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum.

First things first, WHEN do you apply serum?  That is a question I've been asked so many times so let me clear this up for you before I share to you my full review.

Serums are best applied twice a day and this is to be used immediately after cleansing and toning.  On days I am too lazy to apply moisturizer (especially on a hot, humid day), I use this alone and apply sunscreen before going out.  I find serums to be hydrating enough to keep my skin plump and healthy throughout the day.

Now that you're clear on when to apply it, let me share to you my in-depth review on the Innisfree's most sought after product.

Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum Says ---
A moisturizing serum with organic Jeju green tea and green tea seeds that hydrate your skin from deep within!  More moisture and freshness with 100% green tea. Rich in amino acids and minerals, green tea from Jeju's own green tea leaves hydrates your skin. 
Dual Moisture-Rising Technology™ derived from green tea and green tea seed oil . The fresh green tea deeply hydrates your skin and the green tea seed oil creates a strong moisture barrier to keep your skin moisturized longer. 

The first thing to apply after a face wash! 
As the first skincare product you use, it helps hold moisture in your skin and prevents moisture loss.

Lasagna Recipe Using Smokehouse Jack




So I received this huge cheese package from my friends from Real California Milk and I am so ecstatic I've decided to bake Lasagna right away because it was perfect timing my family and I were craving for a homemade version.


Thankfully, I have all the ingredients except CHEESE!  Hahaha, so thank you again RCM PH for these.



Ingredients:

  • Oven Ready Lasagna Sheets from San Remo (I love this one especially for moms in a hurry!)
  • Ground Beef or pork. (You can pick one, in my case I combine both)
  • Spaghetti sauce.
  • Bell peppers.
  • Chopped onions.
  • Different cheeses - depending on your palette.
  • Anchor Parmesan Cheese and Mozzarella Cheese.
NOTE: to create creamy lasagna, it is best not only to layer spaghetti sauce but also creamy cheeses.  I like to separately melt cheeses with a bit of milk in pan.  I am using my newest Silkway FryPan, a laminated film pan, making it easy to melt cheese without it sticking on pan!
