If I ask you mga ka-grocery moms, kung anong pasta dish ang paborito ninyo, would it be Filipino-style spaghetti, creamy carbonara kaya, or maybe beef lasagna? Siguro 10 years ago, I would say, mine was spaghetti bolognese but now it's definitely that layers upon layers of cheesy, meaty goodness ng beef lasagna na kahit everyday ko sigurong kainin, I wouldn't complain. Lalo na if it's made with pure beef and handmade pasta sheets. Tapos yung meat sauce pa nya has that deep flavor with notes of herbs and spices na hindi overwhelming. This is exactly how I would describe Bumy's Delights Flavor Bomb Lasagna! Their lasagna is honestly one of the best I've tried especially that they use real mozarella cheese and mornay sauce instead of bechamel, so na-enjoy ko yung luscious cheese sauce niya without that umay feeling after eating. Plus, their homemade focaccia bread na infused with garlic and rosemary goes perfectly with the lasagna. Sa mga gusto ring matikman ang kanilang beef lasagna, you can order it in a Grande size at P1,090 and Petite size at P490. You may follow them on Facebook at Bumy's Delights or at @bumysdelights on Instagram.

Let’s take break from makeup and skincare reviews mga ka-grocery moms and focus on hair care. Today, I'll be sharing with you as always, my honest review on the Beaver Beauty Naturals Coconut Oil And Milk Shampoo And Conditioner. This duo is formulated for normal to dry hair, rich in natural antioxidants and vitamins A, D, E, K and F that promote hair growth and a balanced scalp, making the hair smooth, shiny and healthy. Although deluxe sizes lang yung nakuha ko, surprisingly apat na beses ko rin silang nagamit on my hair. Siguro dahil hindi na ganun kahaba yung buhok ko as I just recently got a haircut. ●Shampoo comes with a sturdy plastic bottle with a flip top cap that shuts firmly ●Conditioner comes in a plastic tube with a screw cap ●Both have the same milky feel to them although the conditioner is much creamier as expected ●Both give off that aromatic sweet coconut milk fragrance I was definitely surprised by the effect this duo has had on my hair. First of all, my hair felt different immediately after my first use. Not only my hair felt smoother, my roots felt fresher too, plus it air-dried better which was a first for me at my new length. After using them four times, my hair went from frizzy and dull to hydrated and stronger hair. I also fell in love with the sweet coconut scent but not overpowering and don’t linger too much. I guess I'll have to buy the full-sized bottles to get full results particularly the claim to help with hair growth. If you're interested to try this deluxe size duo for free, you can join in their campaign called #TRYIT2BELIEVEIT.

If you've read some of my previous beauty product reviews, from the iWhite Glow Booster Vitamin C Serum to the most recent one na Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist, mapapansin nyo na both products promise to give that radiant-looking skin which nowadays is what I'm all for. Kaya hindi na rin siguro kayo magugulat mga ka-grocery moms that I'm doing yet another review on a product that offers to give my skin a radiant glow. It's the MAC Strobe Cream Pinklite. This product claims to boost the look of dull skin and luminizes with iridescent particles. It also smooths and hydrates the skin. You can use it as a moisturizer or mix it with a liquid or cream foundation which is what I prefer doing. ●Comes in a white coloured opaque plastic bottle with a screw cap ●Has a smooth texture similar to a moisturizer or a light lotion ●Has a light, pleasant scent ●Easy to apply ●Does not feel heavy on the skin ●Pinklite shade gives a soft purple reflection ●Leaves a light sheen when first applied, but as you blend it onto your skin, it leaves a subtle glow At first I was scared that it might leave my skin looking extremely shimmery or like a greasy disco ball, but it doesn't. It just adds a really pretty natural glow to my skin. Like I said, I typically mix it with my foundation since the shade I got works better with lighter skin tones but mine is deeper. Regardless, I love the fact that this cream acts like a moisturizer and illuminator/highlighter in one, though I don't think it could replace a moisturizer in my skincare but it defitely makes a great base for makeup as it helps it apply more smoothly. If you're interested, MAC Strobe Cream Pinklite is available at any MAC Cosmetics counters or on their Lazada store for P2,550.
I love putting all sorts of toppings sa aking bread toast. From the usual butter, cheese, sausage, to our now favorite trio - avocado, egg, and red pepper flakes. Bread toasts are just super easy to put together, plus you can basically top your bread with whatever ingredients you have on hand. Speaking of ingredients you have on hand, corned beef ang isa sa aming pantry staples. I love to incorporate it in my dishes including on my bread toast. So here it is, a tasty, crusty at cheesy breakfast idea na super daling gawin using only a handful of ingredients na sure ako na meron na kayo sa inyong kusina: bread, garlic-flavored margarine, cheese slices, Highlands Classic Corned Beef, onions, tomatoes, and lettuce. Share nyo na rin mga ka-grocery moms your favorite toast recipe in the comments.
Nasabi ko na before na donuts are one of my many guilty pleasure foods, and although I can find a donut shop at just every corner of the city where I live particularly from a bigger chain or restaurant, I still enjoy discovering smaller, underrated shops that make great doughnuts in Metro Manila. Isa sa mga na-discover ko recently mga ka-grocery moms is a café establishment turned into a donut shop - Founders Donuts located at Zobel Roxas, Makati City. They offer soft, scrumptious donuts in creative range of flavours from Classic Glazed, Matcha Green Tea, Oreo Dream, Strawberry Candy, Cereal Donut, Espresso Glazed, and more. Also, they use brioche base that gives their donuts that light but rich bite. My personal favorites are their Oreo Dream which has a generous amount of Oreo crumble with delicious cream glaze on top and their Classic Glazed practically melts on my mouth. The dough was incredibly soft, chewy and buttery. The glaze definitely adds just the right amount of sweetness. So addicting that I managed to eat four of them in one sitting. You may order these donuts and fulfill your sugar cravings thru GrabFood or visit foundersdonuts.pickup.ph. You may also follow them on Facebook at Founders Donuts or @foundersdonutsph here on Instagram.
7-Eleven is definitely the place to stop for when I want to try some new snacks and drinks. At isa ang Wira Pineapple sa mga na-discover kong brand sa store na nagustuhan ko. Wira Pineapple is a fizzy drink na may perfect blend ng sweet pineapple at soda. It comes in two flavors: Wira Pineapple Dry and Wira Pineapple Supreme. Both are perfectly bubbly with nice sweet pineapple flavor, very refreshing at ang pinakanagustuhan ko, they're less acidic than most other fizzy drinks I've tried. Wira Pineapple is available at your nearest 7-Eleven store for P35. You may also visit Wira Pineapple on Facebook or follow them at @wirapineappleph on Instagram.
Share nyo na rin mga ka-grocery moms if you've tried these drinks. In the past mga ka-grocery moms, hindi ako masyadong interested sa paggamit ng mga facial mists, or hindi ko lang siguro ma-gets yung purpose nila; not until I was gifted a set of three Mario Badescu facial sprays which are cult favorites of makeup artists and skin care junkies. I particularly fell in love with the Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater. It's definitely a refreshing hydrating mist that leaves my skin glowy and re-energized. Ang hindi ko lang nagustuhan was it does not spray an even, fine mist, but instead an uneven spray with some larger droplets. This is why I decided to look for a similar product but with a super fine mist that distributes water evenly. Isa ang Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist sa mga top recommended products online. Kaya naman na-excite ako when I got to try it. This Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist claims to provide ultimate skin radiance and makeup enhancement. I've been using it 2-3 times a day for weeks now to refresh my skin or set my makeup. ●Comes in a nice bottle where the spray nozzle is at the bottom ●Has a dual formula - the nourishing-oil layer and the water-based active extracts ●Has a micronized spray ●Smells like a fresh watermelon ●Mist feels extremely light and fine ●Instantly hydrates and refreshes the skin ●Can be used throughout the day This is one of those products that I put on top of my desk and use it at any time of the day. It's a convenient solution for when I just want to hydrate my skin and brighten up my complexion. I'm in love with its fresh, fruity scent and the best part has got to be its ultra-fine mist! I can mist this so many times without making my skin feel soaking wet. Plus, it doesn't mess up with makeup. Although I must say, it's definitely on the pricey side. If you're interested on trying this Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist, it's available at Hermosa Beauty for P2,105. You may visit their website at hermosabeautystore.com.
Imagine this mga ka-grocery moms, you're eating your sundae cone and when you finally get to the bottom part filled with chocolate aka the best part of the sundae cone and in a matter of seconds, it's gone! One word, nakakabitin! But what if we could have endless repeats of these crunchy cone ends? Tapos using real Belgian chocolate pa, tapos available in 3 premium flavors din: Milk Chocolate, White Chocolate, and Dark Chocolate? Introducing, Wallos! We tried their mini waffle cones while while playing our favorite weekend game. I've got to say, they're waffle cones are satisfyingly crunchy and slightly sweet unlike other tasteless cones na na-try ko in the past. Each cone also has the right amount of chocolate inside. I definitely enjoyed Milk Chocolate the most as it's rich, creamy, and velvety but not too sweet. My husband and son picked Dark Chocolate as their favorite as it has the perfect balance of sweet and bitter with no aftertaste. Hindi man ako masyadong mahilig sa White Chocolate but theirs has that smooth melt na may rich and buttery flavor na nagustuhan ko. Each Wallos Premium Waffle Cone Bits is packaged in a resealable bag and priced at P150. If you like to try these sweet little treats, you may send them a message on Facebook at Wallos PH or on Instagram at @wallos.ph.
Previously, I posted my review on Celimax Cica Soothing Cream na super nagustuhan ko as it instantly smoothes and soothes the skin, plus it's extremely lightweight. This time, I'll be sharing with you my experience using a skin care product that I've never tried before - a daily exfoliating toner pad. The Celimax Heartleaf BHA Peeling Pad claims to promote a smoother, brighter, clearer complexion by gently exfoliating dead skin cells while offering deep hydration and soothing properties. This pad is basically a toner and exfoliator in one. A convenient product na ideal sa mga kagaya kong prefer ang simpler skin care routine. ●Comes in a nice, tea green twist top plastic jar ●Has a super mild earthy scent ●Has embossed and gauze sides ●Leaves skin feeling smooth and soft ●Gentle and suitable for daily use Before using this product a couple of weeks ago, I had some areas on my skin that feel rough and bumpy. This has definitely helped improve my skin texture - it feels a lot smoother and softer now. Also, each pad does a great job with hydrating and calming my skin. I just wish each pad would be generously saturated with toner but overall, I truly enjoy using these sturdy pre-soaked cotton pads that are super convenient for some gentle physical exfoliation. Each jar contains 60 double-sided pads and retails for P840. If you're interested, you may visit Celimax Philippines on Facebook or follow them at @celimax.philippines on Instagram.
