the SAEM Cover Perfection Pot Concealer Review



I bought a couple of the SAEM items on Althea way before they arrived our shores!  One of the product I love from the brand (which I repurchased so many times) is the SAEM Perfection Tip Concealer

Because I get impressed "by brand", I tend to go back and purchase more items from the brand and see if they earn another thumbs up from me!

 Blemishes, dark spots, and panda eyes aren't on our list to flaunt 'em just because we got 'em. The Saem's Cover Perfection Pot Concealer is a balm type concealer that gives full coverage for even the peskiest of spots and keeps them hidden all day long thanks to its long-wearing formula. It'll keep those blemishes under wraps until you're ready to take your makeup off at the end of the day.

Today, I focus on healthy-looking lips.
No color, no fuss!  But just good 'ol shiny lips just like the good old days!

Just like this...this used to be my default lips when I was teaching in China as a professor - the glossier, the better, the sexier!

Weekend Food Trip at: Mesa



Every weekend, we go out to have fun as a family whether it is as simple as going to a mall or go to a park to play bubbles.

Recently, I've found myself craving for Filipino food!  It must be the dish that made me want to visit ANY Filipino restaurants in the Metro as long as may "GISING-GISING". 

This came out as a surprise as I am not a fan of coconut milk dish.  But to answer what's on your mind - no I'm not pregnant.  #lol

But the Gising-Gising dish from Mesa earns thumbs up from me, the one I ate at San Lazaro branch is a bit spicier than other branches but overall, it was perfect!


Then of course, in every Filipino restaurant we have to include buttered scallops na din!  It's one of Mr. AMW's favorite dish too.

Empowering The Filipino Farmers as You Eat Healthily



6 years ago, after giving birth to Kyle, I swore to myself I'll do EVERYTHING to breastfeed him.  Not because I am "pressured" by the society to do so but a personal decision.  

Malunggay soup, malunggay soup, malunggay soup and oh!  Malunggay tablets - was all I had back then!  Well, it isn't for the fact that there aren't other choices of malunggay food but I wasn't aware that there are companies out there who, aside from creating products meant for moms, there is a company called Naturearth Corp. who actually created a community to help moms and new moms take care of themselves and share tips in giving their babies the best nutrition there is - breastmilk!  

How about those who aren't breastfeeding anymore?  How to deal with kids who are picky eaters?  Well, the company thought of everything!  They also created healthy snacks not only for moms but delicious enough for kids to want to eat them too!

Let's start with breastfeeding moms or EVERYONE!  


M2 Ready To Drink and M2 Concentrate 
I love ready-to-drink because I can easily put them in fridge and just grab a bottle and drink on my way to sending my son to school.  The concentrate is also great especially since my son LOVES to drink "juice".  He actually wanted to see me do the "mixing" in front of him and even suggested to add more ice!  I love that this drink has all the key ingredients to keep me and my family healthy!  It is also the most covenient way for my son to take his daily vegetable requirement!

For the concentrate, the best way to do is just add 4 tablespoon of M2 in a glass of ice water and enjoy!  You may even add in kalamansi for that extra punch!


  • M2 Ready to Drink (Php55.00) 
  • M2 Concentrate 300ml (Php110.00)
  • M2 Concentrate 1L (Php270.00)
Then for snacks!  Naturearth also has wide range of products that is not only healthy but SUPER delicious.  Ever since I go back to the gym, I take more conscious effort to snack healthily as well so these came in right on time!



  • Mix Camote Chips 
  • Malunggay Shing-A-Ling 75grams (Php40.00) 
  • Moringa Otap
