The "Miss Independent" Look


I've tried Pink Sugar Sweet Cheeks Blush a couple of times in the past.  I love the shades and loved how wearable they are for all Filipinas.

I remembered the launch of Pink Sugar a couple of years ago, the brand owner talked about them being open for suggestions, they love to hear their customers' suggestions and requests and true enough, they've been doing so through the years and they kept on coming up with innovative products.

Products such as the Pink Sugar Sweet Cheeks DUO Cheek Color.  Because multi-tasking products are a thing right now, I'm glad they came up with a DUO cheek blush palette which would give us more options to have 2-3 blush shades!

Special Edition Totally Tangled Ginger



I got totally tangled by The Body Shop's Special Edition Ginger Shower Gel and Body Yogurt.

Taking a shower feels much more relaxing and fun - for a busy mom like me!




This special edition Ginger products has a right "zingy" fragrance that felt a bit weird (for me) on first sniff but upon using them constantly, I am actually looking forward to it!  

The Shower Gel, like any other shower gels from The Body Shop lathers up pretty quickly which I like and I like to use it with my favorite loofah and do a circular massaging motion.  The product is enriched with ginger root extract from India and Community Trade organic cane sugar from Paraguay.

And ONLY The Body Shop body yogurt gets into my shower.  It is the ONLY product I apply IMMEDIATELY after shower. 

This is a lightweight gel-cream that gets absorbed into skin instantly with a nice cool sensation.  I love it that I sleep with good skin and wake up with the same sensation!  The Body yogurt provides moisture for up to 48 hours and I believe them!




Do you like ginger scented body products?
Would you give this a sniff?

Radiance in a Tube?



Don't you wish you can fake good skin?

With the right makeup, you probably can!


I have always been into primers that add radiance to my dull skin.  I am NOT joking when I say I have dull skin, I do have clear skin at times (not now as I am majorly breaking out!)  but since I don't have sufficient intake of water (yes, inaaamin ko!)  plus, I tend to sleep very late at night (not good!), my skin is dull and blah....

But when I go to my "ego-boosting" social media page a.k.a. Instagram, I always get the compliment of "Ang fresh mo!" "You have good skin!"  "Your skin is glowing!"

I am not complaining, but I will be honest with you, most of the time, it is MAKEUP!

I loved a couple of radiance primers int he past, the most used and loved is the Benefit THAT GAL Brightening Primer which I used for more than 5 years now.  I finished up a total of 4 tubes and still highly recommend this to my friends!  

But because I am Ms. AMW and I do a lot of product trials, I recently tested Bobbi Brown's newest primer called Primer Plus Radiance with SPF35 PA+++.

BLK UNIVERSAL Multi-Use Tint Duo in Nutmeg Review


Easy-peasy makeup you say?

I've found myself a favorite in the BLK Cosmetics UNIVERSAL Collection.  I've done a full IG TV on that for my initial thoughts and unboxing but this one I am really enjoying this a lot and I've been reaching for this more often!

Please spare the half face effect as I use the product only on 1 side of my face.  Can you tell which side?

Kyle's Pambaon


I plan Kyle's snacks and lunch every weekend.  I have a full sheet to cover Mondays to Fridays and I can't believe I have a grade schooler!  

I know, I'm still on lala-land thinking I still have a baby but I seriously have a 6-year old Grade 1 student who goes to school at 7:20am and leaves the class at 3:00pm.  The first few weeks was the hardest #SepanxHits but as days and weeks go by, I find myself coming into terms.  I just have to make it visible for Kyle that I still think about him through the "baon" I prepare for him!

Thankful with the new O-Gurt from Oishi!  Kyle comes home telling me how much he enjoys his morning snack time with his favorite Bread Pan cookies!


I tasted them all, it has to pass my taste before I pass it down to my son!  Thankful that all of these 4 variants tastes great!  Kyle's favorite is Strawberry while I always reach out for Original Flavor!



Yes, school is difficult as it is, let's make the rest of his day fun and exciting!
This is definitely part of the "rotation-baon" planned out for Kyle.

What's yours?
