Weekend Food Trip at: Quarks and Quills

I am confident to say, I know ALL the restaurants and coffee shops like the back of my hand!  For the past 2 years, I stay in Banawe every single school day for 4 hours to wait for my son in school.

My son studies at Quezon City while we live in Manila, driving him to school means it is more feasible to stay there and wait for him rather than going back home to brave the traffic. 

With 4 hours in my hands, I bring my laptop and take my work wherever I go (thank you Lord for Freelance jobs!)

Because I am also a researcher by profession, I was able to find a restaurant perfect for not only freelancers like myself but students alike!

Quarks and Quills!  

Fast FREE WIFI - CHECK!

Good coffee - CHECK!

Yummy food - CHECK!

Comfortable environment - SUPER CHECK!

They also have discounts available at Booky app but I felt a bit shy to use the discount as I stay there to use their internet connection, stay in a nice air-conditioned room, use their electricity at times to charge my laptop (nahiya ako, and they deserve the amount I pay!) 

I actually tried a lot of their dishes in the menu but for some reason, I wasn't able to take good photos because they are mostly for takeaway.

Skin-On Fries

Php95.00

These are thick-cut fries bake d until really crunchy.  I like the fact that it is baked so it isn't greasy!

Fern-C for the Family

How does your family stay healthy?
I make sure to cook healthy meals, take them out for weekly physical activities (Hello running around the park chasing balls, bubbles and frisbee!) and of course, give them vitamins!

Kyle gets sick easily at the age of 3-4, I remembered wondering how he could be such a strong baby and turned out to be a weak one when he grew older!  After a talk with his Pediatrician, I learned that Kyle needs specific vitamins to protect him - that includes ample amount of Vitamin C!


He started taking the year 2017 and so far, it worked for him, again, you have to check with your kid's Pediatrician.

And of course, this momma, who's with him in his every activity needed protection too!  I am currently taking Fern-C for adults too!

Have you tried Fern-C?



What's your vitamins and how about your kids?

My Go-To EVERY Holiday Season (Every Season Actually!)

What to give this Holiday season to EVERYONE who means the world to you?

I hope you're not scratching your head right now because if you are, you are missing ONE store that has EVERYTHING we need for our loved ones at a VERY affordable price!  

WATSONS, the store I frequent not only holiday season but on a weekly basis is also a perfect Holiday shopping place and I can't believe I've been blogging about this and telling you guys about this EVERY SINGLE YEAR!  (Baka lang kasi makalimutan niyo! :P)  

This year, I visited the store again and found even better range of Christmas Gift ideas, and the best part?  The merchandise are categorized by gift-giving ideas per recipient!  Not only easy for the pocket but easy to the eyes too!

Customized Sets for Special people in our lives!

On-The-Go Mom Fashion

What do I wear when I know I'll be meeting up a very important client at the same time I need to take my son to school? 

Wear something very comfortable yet chic!  I ended up going for "block colored" outfit but there's always something "Nikki" in all my style!

But first, I need a good cup of coffee!  My favorite is Cafe Latte in Low fat milk (no sugar).

SilkyGirl Magic BB Cushion Review

Silkygirl is an inexpensive makeup brand that actually impressed me!  Their Silkygirl MatteJunkie Lip Cream  is actually part of my Top 5 favorite inexpensive liquid matte lipsticks to date.  Aside from that, I was impressed with with the lightweight, great texture of the SilkyGirl Skin Perfect Liquid Foundation and thankfully they came up with a couple of shades to choose from.  If you're a powder user, you may look into Silkygirl Magic BB All-In-One Powder foundation which I also reviewed.

Then came their newest product called Silkygirl Magic BB Cushion SPF50/PA+++ which gor the most request for review when I posted an IG contest for the said brand.
