There's a "HOTDISH" in town!



Food delivery services are so important to me because it comes with a "story".
Back when my mom suffered depression (story HERE), I had a full time job back then and my mom can't seem to do everything (even the thing she loved most --- cooking!)

So I ended up ordering from 1 restaurant to another, I tried searching for food delivery services option but there wasn't a lot of those back then!  And what's worst, my mom and dad got bored with restaurant food and they ended up not wanting to eat anymore!

They wanted homecooked meals, that's why when I heard about Hotdish: Real Food for Everyday Celebration food delivery service, I gave it a try and let me tell you something - it hits right the spot - my heart and stomach!  :P

 Hotdish is a delivery and take-out service which provides delicious yet affordable Filipino-Asian inspired dishes.
There are a few standout dishes that cannot go without special mention: Pancit Sisig, Pancit Tapa, Supreme Sisig, Beef Caldereta, Kare-Kare, Creamy Spaghetti, Shanghai Lumpia and Pichi-Pichi. 


And call me "mababaw" but I LOVE their packaging!  It's Octagon in shape making it easy to serve straight from box to the dining table!  I like how I can create "beehive" with it!

Join the Baby, Kids & Family Expo and Hear My Story!



I have heard this statement so many times: "Nikki is a Blogger, she's a mom, but she's blogging and talking more about Beauty than Motherhood."

TRUE.

Nothing wrong with that and it is just my personal preference not to talk too much about my motherhood experience because if you are a long time reader, you'll know that I'm the type who would talk about something if I already know ---

  • What's really going on.
  • What to expect with what I'm talking about.
  • How to deal with the negative situation (if there's any).
And up until this very moment, you only see snippets of my "AskMeMom" life because I have to admit, I may look so organized and knowledgeable with what I'm doing on my social accounts but in reality, like what most moms would say: "You don't see the reality!"


Ben & Jerrys ice cream available in the Philippines na!

"Well, you seem to know what you're doing!"

IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Pressed Powder Review



So when IT Cosmetics arrived at Sephora PH, I knew I have to try some of their products since this brand has been mentioned so many times by many of my favorite Youtubers!

In EVERY single workshop that I do, I highly recommend all makeup enthusiasts to invest on translucent pressed powder (or loose powder) and use it as a "touch up" makeup product.  Nothing more, nothing less.  Why?  Because piling up on powder foundation will add up to the "bulk" and your makeup will look unnatural by the end of the day!  

And even though "pores" isn't my issue since I have dry skin, I still try and test on pore control powder because most of my clients have oily skin and investing on a good setting powder is a key to make up artist success!
