If there is a grocery item na kahit wala sa aking grocery list but would still always end up in my cart, that would be chips. We love them especially for our family movie nights. They're just crunchy, salty, and undeniably delicious. However, aware din naman tayo mga ka-grocery moms that a lot of these chips are highly processed and packed with unhealthy ingredients. Good thing, there are a number of brands that create products made from wholesome ingredients such as Proper Crisps that I've only discovered recently. Proper Crisps is the fastest growing snack company in New Zealand at kilala rin sila sa kanilang mga better-for-you chips. Lahat ng kanilang mga produkto ay 100% Natural, Gluten Free, GMO Free, 100% High-Oleic Sunflower Oil, Vegetarian Society Approved, & Dairy Free. Some of our favorites are from their Classic Potato Range - Onion with Green Chives (P164) and Marlborough Sea Salt (P164). These chips have that gorgeous crunch and really tasty. Proper Crisps Potato Chips are available at The Market Place and in select Shopwise stores nationwide.

Here's another breakfast idea na aside from the convenience, it also allows you to have the nutrients and the taste - it's a Dragon Fruit & Banana Yogurt Bowl. Actually mga ka-grocery moms, recently lang ako nag-start mag-prepare ng yogurt bowls for quick breakfasts. I’ve been trying with different combinations, and this 4-ingredient recipe ay talaga namang instant hit sa aking dragon fruit lover na anak. I used Mr. Moo's Probiotic Plain Yogurt, bananas, dragon fruit, and a pack of coconut-chocolate muesli snack. Share nyo rin mga ka-grocery moms kung anong yogurt bowl recipe ang madalas ninyong i-prepare for yourself or your family.
The Probiotic Plain Yogurt is available at Mr. Moo's official website at www.mrmoosph.com. I first heard about Pretty Vulgar Cosmetics from beauty Youtubers I follow a few years ago. I remember really loving their vintage inspired packaging which is what the brand is known for. Nakita ko na yung karamihan sa mga makeup products nila and they definitely look pretty that you just want to put them on display. Just like this foundation that I received as a gift from a friend in the United States - it's the Pretty Vulgar Cool AF Lava Water Foundation. The foundation promises full coverage, lightweight formula that's buildable and long-wearing. It's also marketed as matte. Kahapon ko lang sya ginamit as I was doing my daytime makeup since I wanted to know if it's really a long-lasting foundation. Since once ko pa lang sya nagamit, I'll just share with you my first impression review. ●Comes in a gorgeous and luxe glass bottle with a pump ●Has a rich, ultra-creamy formula ●Has a light chemical scent ●Easy to blend ●Doesn't feel heavy ●Goes on light to medium coverage ●Doesn't settle into lines or exaggerate pores On the swatches you can see that this shade is way too light on my skin. Kaya ang ginawa ko, I mixed it with a darker shade of foundation, plus I used a darker face powder over the foundation. Naglagay na rin ako ng bronzer. Overall this Pretty Vulgar Cool AF Lava Water Foundation is a great pick if you have oily skin and you want a soft matte finish with buildable coverage. Sobrang nagustuhan ko yung packaging, it's definitely the most gorgeous makeup in my collection. Although I've got to say it doesn't stay together for long enough and since the shade I got was way too light, I don't think I'll be able to use it often. Pagsinabing Filipino delicacies o kakanin, hindi mawawala ang cassava cake sa paborito nating kainin for merienda or dessert. Nowadays, I only get to buy it either sa mall or online since medyo malayo yung pinakamalait na palengke sa tinitirhan namin. There are so many different cassava cakes versions out there, but my most favorite would be the not-so-sweet one with a soft and spongy texture, topped with a rich and creamy custard sauce which is exactly what Mavic's best-selling cassava cake is like and more! Mavic's is a small business offering homemade desserts located in Lower Bicutan, Taguig. Aside from Cassava Cake, they also have Banana Cake and the newest addition to their menu - Mango Tres Leches Cake. Naging instant hit sa amin ang kanilang cassava cake especially that the creamy custard topping is much thicker than others we've tried before, plus it can be eaten warm, chilled, or at room temperature. The banana cake is essentially a banana cake, made just like any other cake but loaded with dark chocolate at super moist and flavorful. If you want to try these homemade desserts, you may follow them on Instagram at @mavicscake. They are currently accepting pre-orders for Father’s Day.
Nabanggit ko na before that aside from having combination skin na may pagka-acne prone din, I also have sensitive skin which doesn’t always go hand in hand with exfoliation. Pero syempre mga ka-grocery moms, since I've been trying to level up my skincare game, hindi ako titigil until I find the best exfoliator for my sensitive skin. This Fresh Sugar Strawberry Exfoliating Face Wash ang isa sa mga na-discover kong gentle exfoliator sa Sephora. It claims to remove impurities and excess oil—without drying—while refining the look of pores for smooth, soft skin. At dahil I've been using it every day for two weeks now, here are my thoughts: ●Comes in an opaque plastic tube with flip-top cap, plus a nice strawberry design along the side. ●Has a delicious strawberry scent ●Comes with very, very fine exfoliating particles which are sugar granules ●Leaves the skin feeling clean and smooth There are a lot of things that I love about this product, bukod sa it's mild enough to be used daily, it combines both the cleansing and exfoliating steps in my skincare routine, plus it's quick and easy to use. This product was also very effective at removing excess oil and dirt. Ang maganda pa is that I can customize the level of exfoliation by using less water for a stronger scrub or more water for a gentler exfoliation. I recommend using this kind of cleanser if you have makeup free skin or if you've got heavy makeup to remove, pwede din naman as a second cleanse. Fresh Sugar Strawberry Exfoliating Face Wash is available at Sephora PH for P980.
Nakaka-excite mag-try ng mga bagong skin care products but at the same time mga ka-grocery moms with so many products on the market, it can be confusing to know when and how often I should be using them or what they're really for. Isa sa mga skin care products na hindi ako masyadong familiar would be - elixir. The only thing I knew then was it's a type of hydration product like serums and moisturizers. It's only until I received Botanical Elixir na sobra akong na-curious what exactly it would do on my skin. Botanical Elixir is a product of SONO, a Philippine-based skincare and lifestyle brand that produces premium quality skin and body care products, made from all-natural ingredients. It claims to calm and renew inflamed and irritated skin, boosts natural radiance and creates an more even tone, while diminishing sun damages, spots and scarring. I have been using this as my sole serum in my nighttime skincare routine for two weeks now. I apply it after cleansing and toning and before moisturizer. ●Comes in a classy, sleek bottle with a dropper ●Has a light, naturally distinct smell ●Has a slightly thicker, more concentrated texture ●Skin instantly looked more luminous immediately after application ●Only 2 drops are enough to cover the full face Because this is an oil-based product, I was worried it might clog my pores or leave my skin feeling greasy, surprisingly this doesn't. Medyo sticky sya when you apply it, but this powerful hydrator melts into the skin quite quickly. I'm also impressed with how it makes my skin appear radiant and less tired, plus I experienced no breakouts. I'm hoping that with continued use, I'll start to see even more improvement lalo na with reducing the appearance of dark spots and acne scars. Botanical Elixir is available at www.sonoskincare.com for P895. You may also visit @sono.skincare here on Instagram or SONO Skincare on Facebook.
