Blue in my mind!

This is just a short post. I just want you to share one of my passions,---the unlimited swapping of nail coloring. Medyo feel ko na pagandahin sila.:) 

I had the opportunity to use the relatively expensive nail products OPI, the blue sapphire.

Women are very expressive, we always find ourselves to express in many ways, while improving ourselves by physical attributes. It's no big surprise that nails are an extension of ourstyle!

While some nail colors dictate and reinforce a woman’s confidence and image while she wears it, lending herself a new persona, how women choose to get their nails done usually comes from how they already are in the inside. 

Just like what I'm wearing now,---blue my mind by OPI. 
Wearing blue is something to feel calm and a conservative feeling. That's how I feel and what I think now.:)
So how does your feeling when you wear blue?anything blue in mind?

Tuesday Tip: What I love about Petroleum Jelly

It's been ten thirty midnight when I plan to have a write ups with this usual thing since I just learned how it works in my entire life. Yes! Just recently saw how an ordinary jelly turned its uses into extraordinary.

Way back in my elementary days, I always see the little tube that often in a corner of our cabinet. I do not even know with that, as long as I know my mother used it after she washed clothes. She polished her hands with this thing, as I thought it was just a lotion for oldies, hehe. Until I just used in my lips and feet when it needs to moisturizes. But wait, I think this is a heaven-sent. A product that helps you in many ways, let me share you the wonders of this petroleum jelly, the Apollo Petroleum Jelly.

"Ordinary makes an extraordinary"

A lot of petroleum brands here that I've tried, but I always end up going back to this one, and I never thought that this particular brand, would never leave you at the time when demand. 

This brand is admittedly worthy. With its thick and gooey like, its consistency was really amazing.

Honestly, I never mind that one night, I need to buy another tube of PJ. It really works on baby’s skin rashes. PJ is meant to the little girl. It isn't as sticky and greasy feel like other. That something that I adore about the product.

"the back of PJ with its possible uses"

I personally used it when I want to moisturizes my feet overnight, this is probably my feet routine. Another interesting fact is, it doesn't transfer as easily because of its consistency, or even dry fast when I accidentally loosened the cap. 

"has it sealed"

This 50g tube was good to keep at home, (every corner of your home is acceptable!) haha. With its cheaper price (1.2$), its functions is tolerable. It could be your make-up remover, a solution for chapped lips and   dry skin/hands. I've used it too for my wind burned skin  as I am outgoing and adventurous:) so I always have a tube in my bag.
It seems there are thousand and one uses for petroleum jelly and some of common uses I've strived. But when I saw this article, it increase my lists of uses for petroleum jelly, and surprisingly shocked with the tons of possible uses there are. I adapted the smoothing wild eyebrow hairs, sobrang pasok siya sa banga!. Hahaha.
 Take your look!
And tell me your favorites:)

Review: Laneige Snow Crystal Sheer Glossy Lipstick in Purple (RP546)

I am excited when I got my first Korean make-up. Yes!this is my first time to review a expensive brands to Korean cosmetics. I was prospecting Etude House but the time didn't permits me. Anyways, lucky that I received from a generous friend, the Laneige Snow Crystal Sheer Glossy Lipstick.

I'm not high-end consumer products, but I know what's more expensive and more capable of pocket. I think some of cheaper price also have high end results. Just like other international brands have here in the Philippines.

A $23.3 lipstick is too expensive for a budget-conscious make up enthusiast like me. (but when we are talking about shoes, wala nang patumpik-tumpik pa, basta gusto ko yun sapatos, 1k is not a big deal.) Hahaha I am a shoes addict.:) But when I want to buy posh make -ups, I consider saving money for me to get the shades I like.

it looks like lip balm with glitters

apologies for my lip color, kinda weird:)

PROS?

This Korean lipstick packaging looks elegant and chic, inside its packaging coloured pink. It is very moisturizing that smells like cotton candy but not taste like plastic. Its super natural looking, but its gloss isn’t overwhelming. It was available in the Philippines and I don’t have allergic reactions.

CONS?

The packaging box was written in Korean-so you don’t understand the label; it is too expensive for a lipstick- seems like a lip balm! Too soft that tends to melt easily and doesn’t last on me; others may not like the sheer pigmentation

MY FINAL VERDICT?

Not for me now, it could be just another collection in sheering lipstick, nothing more than that, Its super natural-looking enhance the moisture of your lips.I might try the lipstick from Etude House , though.

MY RATING?

Packaging: 4/5 (Elegant looking and chic)

Price: 1/5 (Too expensive for just sheer glossy lipstick)

Long lasting: 2/5 (Frequent re-application)

Overall rating: 2/5

My FOTD:)

My Notes?

Always keep it in a cool dry place because it has the tendency to melt easily.

If you’re not fan of sheer lipstick, try other shades available.

It is good for base before you applied your favorite lipstick.

Since summer  beat the heat, we should prepare what we've use for our trippings. Any plans? Or done? where brought to you by these collective Colors of Summer by Chicify. They're organized and affordable that can deliver to your doorstep. I been addicted to their store talaga.  Here are some of my peg for the summer. Here's my stylepicks to my favourite Chicify AGAIN. hehe.

Mom 101: Medicines That NO to your Toddler

Until now, the princess is still recovering. Trying to control her,(ang uber duper kulit kasi!)  for she never relapse again. So far, she's only taking medication, the antibacterial  due to; upon check up, she had this cough and having trouble to breath. She's slightly okay now, that she was no fever and cold.But I was still worried because the quantity she taking drugs at her age. Given that multivitamins, and dosages of milk, kaya di maawat ang pagka-bonakid nya!hahaha.

Anyways, masyadong pampered ang prinsesa, I able to know to her pediatrician na there are some various drugs na dapat isnabin;

One of the list is Aspirin- never give any aspirin or medications containing aspirin to your toddler cause it make a child a susceptible to Reye's Syndrome-I don't have any idea with this, so you better see the link, sometimes, it indicated in the back referred as "salicylate or "acetylsalicylic acid"-so its better to ask your doctor or pharmacist if its aspirin free. Did you know na its not good too with a 19 years old below? so you might be careful.

The over-the-counter cough and cold medicines-dahil nga i'm working mum, this is hard to have an appointment with the pedia, (so this a confession of a bad mum?) so I just gave the generic paracetamol just to help/treat. However, whem the child experience drowsiness, rash or hives, and upset stomach, it was a major serious effects.The child was mistakenly gets more than the recommended dose, and that effect suffer the child as rapid heart, convulsions and even death, (and wala naman mudra sa mundo na gustong pabayaan ang kanilang ina.diba?)
And to avoid of this circumstances, instead of too much drop, why won't we just try the home remedies?the soothe of vapor rubs?the sweet taste of honey?and the chicken soup and other warm liquids?diba mas safe?

And ofcourse,  any medication prescribed for someone else or for another condition can harmful to your baby- It is a habit of Filipinos, but we should awre all,especially young moms, that the prescription drugs intended for other people (like a Sibling) or to treat other illnesses there be ineffective or even dangerous when given to your toddler. And the best way nga is to consult your pedia/doctor. Mas hassle-free at iwas doble-gastos, agree mudrabelles? Just give your toddler only medicine prescribed for her and specific condition.

That's a quick advise from Dr. QueenMamiBoo.Hahaha.
Anytime, Anywhere, a Free-consultation:)Hehe.

Join the Running Revolution with ADIDAS Energy Boost

My last run was eight years ago but I’m always dreaming to experience that activity/ fund raising even the least run line. I think this is everybody’s want, to be a part of the real run. Marathons run with 3k, 5k or the 10k trails run.

Sometimes, I initiate to invite friends especially those chubby friends, to be able to motivate them to run, but I do not have good shoes, a pair of ADIDAS running shoes. In my mind, I wanted to try everything, and running is one of my dream lists.

Why I love to run?

Due to the enormous of our place, I decided that I was jogging on Saturdays and Sundays with my father. We lived in Muntinlupa City where we are closer to the sunken garden that looked like oval shaped. This compound where people could  relax, play sports and do other things to enjoy especially jogging and training of the who polices will be. Approximately about 5-15K when you turn around three times. I did it around 5:30 in the morning so you can’t feel the heat if you run until six or seven P.M.

I don’t have self confidence to join any of activities in school before. I’m a thin female who don’t want attending P.E. class or doing sports. My view was changed when my father took jogging. He really inclined running, hence, I’m encouraged, and that’s the number one reason. My father emphasizes to me the following benefits what would I gain from running.

1. Good for the health- I understand that the circulation of your blood reflects in your activity and running is good for cardio-vascular movement. All your body systems will work out in just a run a day. That’s why I didn’t suffer from ANY sick.

2.Running boosts my confidence-It makes me feel energize and am not quickly tired unlike before. I can do now my sport activities at school. It increases my self confidence; it gained me a lot of friends, and my rude classmates didn’t teased me anymore. So, I’m more now into running, it lessened my stressful situation. Run and run.

Why I love ADIDAS Running Shoes?

Running shoes is very important; this is one of the biggest causes of injuries if you have the wrong kind of shoes. You can wear any rubber shoes in P.E class but not in serious running or jog. I really wanted to invest a good pair of running shoes that can boost my potentials and keep me from any injuries and ENERGY BOOST by Adidas suited me well.

What is it?

This is the latest running shoes from Adidas with revolutionary cushioning technology that provides highest energy return in the industry. High energy returns so it means more running power. Adidas ENERGY BOOST innovation is centered on cushioning material; it provides the energy return for a runner. It has a small energy capsules in the soles to store and unleash energy more efficiently with every stride.

Holding its performance in almost any condition the exclusive BOOST™  material has been proven to be three times more temperature-resistant than standard EVA material, thus providing a more consistent and comfortable run.

What is the design?

I love how the light, open air mesh upper (Tech Fit) and a sole made of Boost foam that sort or resembles Styrofoam. The sole picks up dirt in a hurry, which is non-issue for running shoes, but something to consider if you’re just looking for ultra comfy walking around shoes. It has a feature of special mid-foot support frame, an extended TORSION system to minimize roll for more stability, adiwear outsole to reduce wear in key soles area and an external heel counter to maximize the heel fit and comfort. The Adidas ENERGY BOOST™ is miCoach compatible.  This is an extraordinary for woman like me.

Should you buy it?

Yes definitely! The Boost are performed well, comfortable and don’t appear to suffer from any defects. Maybe you’re meticulous when it comes to a shoe, that’s fine. But if you’re wanting for something new, why not try Adidas Energy Boost as your next pair of shoes, especially for those a heel striker, these are really nice choice, since Adidas are into take test runs in them.

Tuesday Tip: (My) Steps in Becoming a Super Woman

So many inspirational quotes scattered for people depressed, tired and for the most happiest person in the world. Ako, when there's really nothing too workload, I prefer to watch movies that are inspirational, Silver Linings Playbook was my latest. Have you watched it? Unfortunately,I have never started it because after eight hours of scrape, the UNICA IHA, just shedding my attention.Tama nga sila, nakakawala nang pagod. They make you happy. Siya ang happiness mo! Nakakagigil! Nakakamiss! and above all, it persuade you to become a SUPERWOMAN!

indeed

But how does one become a superwoman? Do you need to be Oprah, Princess Diana and Serena Williams? While it may be true that some celebrities are super women, being a superwoman has nothing to do with being a super star. Infact, touching the lives of others that matter to you is such a superwoman's character.Right?

So, what are the qualities for we to call, A superwoman? Being a QueenMamiBoo?Could I qualify?

( Hehe.)

Anyways, I have to sort at three and share this list on my readings, being a superwoman subjected to;

Know WHO matters to you

Becoming a superwoman is to identify the people that matter to you. This step may seem easy because we already know whom we care for. But, making a list of those people is very important para sa ibang steps na susunod. Aside from family, friends and relatives, we should also consider our immediate community, ( yun tindera sa palengke, yung kasamahan mo sa worship, yung kapitbahay mong tsismosa at ang istrikto mong boss.) Ok?

source

Decide how will you LOVE them

so dahil kilala mo na ang mga tao sa paligid mo, we should define what would be the best way para mahalin mo sila isa-isa. Pero how? How do you love your enemies?Hehe.

Some people na kakilala ko, answering this questions by asking themselves what would they want to hear to those people say about them after they are gone. In other words, if you had a chance to listen to people talk about you at your funeral, what would you like to hear them say about what you meant to them?gets nyo po?Diba most flattering said to the fellowship with Princess Diana?

source

Look After Number One- I might no use to the people that matters to me if I'm always sick and tired. Instead of becoming a person they cherish, magiging pahirap pa ko' sa kanila. So don't forget to look after YOURSELF first. This is the most precious asset! In order to achieve anything to your list, you should alive and well. So taking good care of yourself, (mind, body and soul) is a MUST! Try to get involved in three power things: hygiene, diet and exercise,( if possible) or get exercise by reading magazines and books that appeal to you.

Iam!

And be CONNECTED to HIM always. Spending time with your God, helps you to realign with your centre at the start of each day.

Remember that being a superwoman is about being cherished and appreciated by those you hold dear to your heart. As a woman you are already designed to love and care for others.With just little targeting and planning, the woman in you will soar the heights you have never dreamt and bring you peace beyond what money and fame can bring you; the peace that comes from knowing that someone is better off because of you.

And you can do it. Beggining right now, right here.:)

I'm Resign!

Hi folks! I'm baaacck! (in the tune of Anna Manalastas) How's your long vacation? Will others returned from the provinces? This is my first time holyweek celebrating with the little princess.The excessive hot did'nt cooperate, so ang tendency, we rather spend this meditation at home than to have provincial tour. Hehe. And unfortunately the babyboo was sick. She has fever and cough. Anubey?Sumabay pa sa holyweek, napaka-mapamahiin pa naman ng mudrabelles ko.(I bet you mean it!) Ayoko na! I wanted to be at home and be with the little princess. I have to take my resignation asap.

lolerz!
