Na-mention ko na sa isa sa aking mga previous tips of the day that if you want to save money, give store or generic brands a chance. Alam ko na may kanya kanya tayong mga paboritong brands, and that is OK. At the end of the day, we like what we like. And I also have to agree that sometimes it’s worth paying a higher price for a name-brand product. But you should at least try them especially kung kagaya ko kayong parating naghahanap ng mga paraan kung paano makakatipid sa groceries. Like I said, generic brands are cheaper than name brands. It's because unlike name brands, they don't pay for advertising, shipping, or shelf space. Napatunayan ko na rin that they can be just as good in quality. Based sa mga na-try na naming generic items, there may be some slight differences, but not much—certainly nothing that warrants spending a lot more. Siguro pagsinabing house brand dito sa atin, SM Bonus agad ang maiisip natin. From fresh meat, poultry, canned goods, snacks, to personal care items, pet care and laundry aids - these generic products are 15 percent to 20 percent cheaper than leading brands.

As a makeup junkie, I have an ever-growing list of favorite makeup products especially with how the internet is constantly influencing us to try new products. Kaya nga for my current everyday makeup, it consists of products na matagal ko ng ginagamit, kumbaga mga all-time favorites ko na. There are a few rin that I've recently discovered but I'm eager to buy again once I run out. This simple, everyday look you can also deploy when you want to look put-together and polished but not necessarily over-the-top. Ang importante, you have a few key makeup essentials on hand. That includes a weightless, high-coverage, and long-wear complexion product such as the Barenbliss True Beauty Inside Cushion. A bronzer like Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Matte Bronzer which adds dimension to the face, and an intensely pigmented and lightweight lippie kagaya ng Maybelline Sensational Liquid Matte. Kung mapapansin nyo, some of these are admittedly on the pricier side, but they last me a very long time. Meron rin naman from my favorite affordable makeup brands like Maybelline and Barenbliss. Barenbliss True Beauty Inside Cushion, P899 MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation, P2,000 KVD Beauty Lock-It Translucent Setting Powder, P2,250 Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Matte Bronzer, P2,100 Dazzle Me Heart-Melt Blush in Cheeky Orange, P149 IT Cosmetics Brow Power Universal Eyebrow Pencil, P1,730 Etude House Play Color Eyes Juice Bar, P1,200 Barenbliss Better Than Magic Eyeliner, P299 Maybelline Hypercurl Mascara, P229 Maybelline Sensational Liquid Matte in Best Babe, P229 Share nyo rin mga ka-grocery moms if you've tried any of these makeup favorites.
I'm sure tayong mga parents, aware tayo sa masasamang epekto ng screen addiction lalo na sa ating mga anak. It can be detrimental to our kid's total development, whether motor, speech, or even the social aspect. This is why, I set a technology timeout for my tween son. Usually, it's hours before dinner, he can't use his phone, iPad, or any device at home for one hour. We also made a list of activities that we can do together or things he wants to do during his tech timeout. From reading books, playing board games, or he is still very much into playing with his Lego. I think maraming beses ko ng nasabi how much my son loves his snacks, kaya naman naisipan ko ring gawan sya ng sarili niyang snack station para mas ma-enjoy niya talaga yung mga activities na ginagawa niya on his tech timeout. I included a lot of his favorite snacks like chips, cookies, trail mix, and pre-portioned packs of chocolate. Although syempre, may limit pa din yung dami ng snacks na pwede niyang kainin. Share nyo na rin mga ka-grocery moms how you limit your child's screen time.

I remember whenever I receive cream blushes for PR or as gifts, it's either pinamimigay ko lang sila or natatambak lang sila sa blush drawer ko. I was always a powder blush girl. But something happened when I discovered a blush with creamy formula that blends like a dream, glides over the skin, and gives a nice plumped, dewy sheen. Syempre, powder blushes still have their place in my routine. But for a while now, I've been reaching for creamy formulas more often. Why you ask? ●Come in different finishes like matte, satin, or slightly shimmery ●Come in different formulas like sheer, long-wear, and cream-to-powder ●More hydrating ●Super blendable and buildable ●Create dewy, natural finish to the skin ●Can be applied with fingers ●Ideal for on-the-go glam The most recent cream blushes I've been using and loving are these Dazzle Me Heart-Melt Blush. A creamy liquid blush housed in a small plastic bottle with doe-foot applicator and has three shades - Sweet Pink (Soft Pink), Cheeky Orange (Soft Coral), and Flirty Peach (Warm Peach). Each shade is multi-use as you can use it as an eyeshadow too. I recommend these cream blushes as they're incredibly lightweight, feel great on the skin, and just glide effortlessly onto the skin. They do feel slightly wet when they go on, but they don't dry sticky. They just leave a nice dewy glow. Although one layer is enough to achieve a good color payoff, they may not last as long as other formulas I've tried. Still, the reasonable price point and versatile, natural-looking finish make these cream blushes excellent for no-makeup makeup looks. Dazzle Me Heart-Melt Blush is available in Lazada, Shopee, TikTok Shop, Watsons, and Robinsons. Priced at P134.

If there is one quintessential Filipino pastry that I enjoy eating mapa-almusal man, merienda or even as dessert - that would be ensaymada. Sa ngayon, iba't ibang variations na ng ensaymada ang matitikman natin. From the most usual flavors like ube, caramel, and chocolate. Meron pa ngang mango and other fruit-flavored ones. Pero syempre, the best pa rin ang classic cheese ensaymada with lots of cheese on top. Just like these Vernon Pastries' Queso de Bola Ensaymada that we had yesterday for merienda. Not only they use real butter, they also grind their queso de bola with the rest of the cheese which gives their ensaymada a strongly flavored and finely textured powdered cheese topping. Dahil nga queso de bola or Edam cheese yung ginamit nila, I definitely got that sharp taste but it's soft, buttery, and delicious. Isa pang merienda treat that we tried from them were their Cheese Rolls that honestly is really addicting. Each roll is filled with a generous amount of cheese and I could tell that they didn't scrimp on the finest ingredients. They're remarkably soft, fluffy and cheesy, and has the perfect balance of buttery and sweetness. I also love that each ensaymada and cheese roll is wrapped neatly in the box so I can easily share them with my family and friends or I could even store them for several days. You may preorder before 6 PM any day, by 2 PM the next day, your Vernon Pastries' Queso de Bola Ensaymada (P450, Box of 6) and Vernon Pastries' Cheese Rolls (P300, Box of 6) will be ready for pickup or for delivery via Grab or Lalamove.

Last time, I shared a few imported grocery items that I got at the My Dollar Store. Isa sa mga nabili ko was this La Moderna Animal-Shaped Pasta. Nag-request agad ang anak ko na lutuin ko na sya for his dinner. Initially, I wanted to make Mac and Cheese, pero dahil konti na lang yung natira naming cheese, I opted for a Classic Pasta with Red Sauce aka Spaghetti Sauce. The ingredients I used are La Moderna Animal-Shaped Pasta, Hunt's Spaghetti Sauce Parmesan Cheese, hotdogs, ground pork, garlic, onion, coarsely grated carrots, and for the toppings; chopped parsley and grated cheese. Plus, salt and pepper to taste. I just used whatever ingredients I already have on hand, it's easy to make, it's filling, and I included some vegetables na rin to make it healthier. With the animal-shaped pasta and the familiar sweet spaghetti sauce, na-enjoy siyang kainin ng anak ko. Although next time, babantayan ko ng maigi yung pasta since medyo na-overcooked ko sya. Imbes na al dente, it got really soft. Share nyo na rin mga ka-grocery moms what your kids favorite pasta recipe is.
Kailangan lang maglagay ng sunscreen kung lalabas ng bahay at kung may araw pa, at hindi na kailangang maglagay ng sunscreen araw araw. These are probably some of our misconceptions about sunscreen. Kasi aaminin ko, sunscreen was never part of my everyday beauty routine. I would only apply it when I know that I'll be outside for extended periods of time. Pero ngayon aware na ako that sunscreen go beyond protecting my skin from the sun and the many reasons why it’s a good idea to actually wear it every day - maaraw man, maulap or kahit maulan. ●Shields the skin from harmful UV rays ●Protects the skin from sunburn ●Reduces the signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines, sunspots, and hyperpigmentation ●Reduces the risk of skin cancer Although the effects of sunscreen may not be noticeable at first, but it will pay off long-term. I also understand na ang iba siguro sa inyo medyo skeptical maglagay ng sunscreen as most of them feel sticky or leave white cast on the skin. If I were to recommend a sunscreen that is incredibly lightweight, quick-absorbing, doesn't interfere with makeup, doesn't leave a white residue, but instead leaves a lovely glow on the skin, and provides broad spectrum coverage and excellent protection against UVA - it's the Dazzle Me Attack On Sun! Sunscreen SPF 50 PA ++++. This susncreen is available in Lazada, Shopee, TikTok Shop, Watsons, and Robinsons. Priced at P398.

When I first saw this lip product, it just looks like your typical clear lip gloss. But the moment I applied it on my lips, para siyang hybrid between a lip balm and lip gloss. And it has now become my go-to lip product! This Dazzle Me 24/7 Wondefullip Serum is a multi-purpose lip topper and treatment which claims to condition lips, brighten lip color, and reduce the appearance of lip lines while providing lasting moisture, and add extra shine. PROS ●Comes in a cute and tiny clear acrylic tube with a clear acrylic top ●Has a unique rectangular-shaped pink rubber applicator ●Has a nice sweet scent ●Has a gel-like texture ●Provides a glass-like shine ●Feels comfortable on the lips ●Reduces the appearance of fine lines ●Keeps lips hydrated CONS ●Can get a little messy to apply ●Not the most long-lasting After using this lip serum, gets ko na what the hype is all about and why a lot of beauty influencers recommend delving into the wonders of lip serum. Na-amaze lang ako how it provides enough hydration, how it made my lips look healthier, and at the same time it also feels lightweight and comfortable on the lips. I actually love using it as a lip topper as it layers comfortably on top of lipstick while providing a glassy finish that truly makes my lips pop. This lip serum is available in Lazada, Shopee, TikTok Shop, Watsons, and Robinsons. Priced at P210.
