A lot of kids have already gone to school this week, while students from public schools will head back to their classrooms this coming week pa. Kagaya ng anak kong nasa 7th grade na, so he's officially a middle schooler. I didn't really buy him a lot of back-to-school supplies. I'm sure naman na his teachers will provide information on some additional items needed for specific subjects. We just got mga basic writing supplies, some art supplies na rin just to get him back into the school spirit, and syempre personal-care items to keep him as germ-free as possible. So here are back-to-school supplies and other essentials I prepared for my middle school son: Spiral Notebooks Intermediate Pad Highlighter Pencil Pens Correction Tape Drawing Book Colored Pencils Pencil Case Scissors Glue Stick Calculator Alcohol Baby Powder Cologne Water Bottle Share nyo na rin what back-to-school must-haves you prepared for your kids.

Sa dami ng mga ginagawa nating mga nanay sa bahay at iba't ibang mga responsibilidad natin sa buhay lalo na pagdating sa mga anak natin, it's easy for us to neglect our own self-care. In the past, isa rin ako sa mga nanay who could not seem to find time or felt guilty about prioritizing myself. Until I reached the point that I'm starting to experience feelings of bitterness, and worst-resentment and anger. Yung tipong humingi lang ng tulong yung anak ko with his school project, I felt na bakit kailangang ako pa rin yung gumawa nun, or nung tinanong ako ng husband ko to accompany him to the mall to help him buy new work clothes, I questioned na ako nga antagal na since I last bought a shirt for myself. Naramdaman ko na, not only I'm losing myself, I'm also pushing away the very people I love the most. That's when I realized, taking care of myself is not selfish—it's an essential part of being a good wife and a mom. There are a lot of ways for implementing self-care. Even small acts of self-kindness can go a long way in decreasing the feelings of exhaustion, burnout, stress and even depression that we busy mothers often feel. Personally ang ginagawa ko is one, I delegate and ask for help kasi na-accept ko ng hindi naman palaging kaya kong gawin lahat and have lunch or dinner dates with my besties once in a while kasi staying connected with our social network, counts as self-care, too huh. Syempre I also make time to do things I love like an afternoon walk while listening to true crime podcasts. And just recently, bumili rin ako ng simple, classic half-frame film camera, the Kodak Reto Ektar H35 na super easy to use kasi pagnaglalakad ako, I just like taking photos of random stuff. I also like having my at home spa day at least twice a month. Ang importante is we try to keep ourselves hindi lang happy but healthy as these will allow us give the best care possible to our family. Share nyo na rin some self-care tips you have.
GET OUR KIDS EXCITED ABOUT GOING BACK TO SCHOOL | LUMINARC STATIONARY DINNERWARE SET FOR CHILDREN8/21/2023 It's back-to-school season na. Some of your kids siguro are eager to go back to school while for others, my son included, is feeling a little apprehensive and nervous especially that he'll be going to a new school next week. A little preparation goes a long way to helping alleviate their anxiety and with the right approach, we can help our children to feel excited about starting the new school year. Aside from doing back‑to‑school shopping together, it's also important to talk to them about their worries. And because meal time is an important time to not only eat but also to talk together, I prepared dinner for him, and what made it special talaga was the Luminarc Stationary Dinnerware Set for Children na super nagustuhan ng anak ko yung design. This set is part of their LumiJunior line which is one of their back to school theme specifically design for kids. The set includes a plate, bowl, food lunch box, tumbler and a cup.

We love all kinds of sisig from Classic Pork Sisig, Spicy Tuna Sisig, Creamy Tofu Sisig, and now a Cheesy Chicken Sisig Wrap na hindi man pangulam but definitely masarap, filling, and super easy to make na perfect naman for merienda or kahit as a late-night snack. I used my latest find sa grocery store - it's the Purefoods Chicken Sisig which I sautéd with garlic, onion, and bell pepper in some oil. I added a little salt and pepper to taste. With tortillas naman, I placed each wrap on pre-heated pan for 1 minute per side. I then put a spoonful of the sisig mixture on each wrap. I carefully folded them up and arranged them on this Luminarc Smart Cuisine Oven Dish which is a lightweight, extra-strong and hygienic dish na may simple and fashionable design. Topped them with shredded easy melt cheese. Placed it in the oven hanggang mag-melt lang yung cheese. I also squeezed in some lemon juice and hot sauce once cooked. This Cheesy Chicken Sisig Tortilla has eveything I want in a dish, may a little crunch on the outside, flavourful with a kick of heat, plus super cheesy!

But when I started applying makeup, there were some unavoidable problems I faced lalo na when I had to wear my glasses all day long. From foundation on my frames, flaking mascara on my lenses, plus I neglected on doing my eye makeup as I felt na hindi rin naman mapapansin. Syempre as time passes naman may mga adjustments akong ginawa and techniques na natutunan in order for me to complete my makeup with glasses on. From not wearing too much foundation para wala masyadong dumikit sa glasses. I apply heavy mascara na volumizing or curling which instantly helps open the eyes. Naging go-to look ko na rin ang paglalagay ng neutral tones and shimmers to brighten my eyes. Lastly, I like to create bold and thick line with a liner so that my eyes can truly be seen through my glasses. Here are some products I've been loving to create a simple and everyday makeup look when wearing my glasses: QUICKFX Tinted Moisturizer, P129 BYS Liquid Concealer Tube in Medium, P199 Nichido Final Powder in Creamy Glow, P203 Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Matte Bronzer, P2,100 Dazzle Me Heart-Melt Creamy Liquid Blush in Cheeky Orange, P149 LA Girl Beauty Brick Nudes, P669 Barenbliss Better Tha Magic Eyeliner, P299 Koii Cosmetics Lash Doubling 4D Mascara, P520 Focallure Eyebrow Powder Kit, P140 Koii Cosmetics Matte Lip Tint in Dusk Rose, P410 Share nyo na rin some tips you have to make your makeup work best with your glasses.
In the past, I felt like making a well-planned grocery list was a bit of a chore which I'm sure marami sa inyo ganito rin yung pakiramdam. So, ang nangyayari I would end up with duplicate items, forgetting some necessary ingredients for a meal I'd planned, and the most disappointing of all was spending money on useless stuff that we wouldn't able to eat or use. For these reasons, natutunan ko talaga how truly important and definitely a worthwhile task having a grocery list is bago pa ako pumunta sa store especially that I'm a mom. Not only it helps me saves time, focus in on buying what we actually need, and with a list in hand, I have more purpose and clarity, which means less stress for me also. There are two ways to create a shopping list. Yung ginagawa ko before was I would just manually write my shopping list on a paper, pero ngayon nagsusulat na ako sa mga pinrint kong shopping lists na nakuha ko online na naka-organize by aisle: produce + meat, frozen foods, canned goods, condiments, pantry, dairy, and other. Syempre bago ako mag-lista, I take inventory muna ng mga food, drinks, and cleaning products we have sa refrigerator, pantry, and cabinets. I also think about the meals na kailangan kong lutuin during the week lalo at palaging may mga requests yung mag-ama ko pagdating sa mga uulamin namin. Share nyo na rin if you make grocery shopping list before heading to the store.
I love doing a routine check-up of my beauty stash as it helps me to not only maintain an organized stash but it also keeps me from using expired makeup and skincare. Ang napansin ko lang as I was taking inventory of my skincare items was just how many other products from the same brand had a permanent home in my skincare rotation. It's the brand known for their simple and straightforward formulations that are filled with some of the most tried-and-true actives out there. The best part pa is that they offer affordable products compared to many other options. Yes, I'm referring to, The Ordinary. Although aaminin ko ng nung una, isa rin ako sa mga na-intimidate with this brand because the names of their products refer to skin-care ingredients which sound like something out of an advanced medical textbook. But after doing a little research on how to incorporate some products into my routine and understanding what products are suitable for my skin concerns and needs, napatunayan ko talaga how effective they are. I've tried several of their products pero there are 3 na talagang nagustuhan ko as they truly helped my mildly-sensitive, combination skin na prone to regular hormonal breakouts, and lingering dark spots achieve clearer, smoother, and brighter skin! The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution, P780 I love how this made my skin look brighter and smoother. It's also the only product that helped with clearing my congested pores. The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution, P575 This one is extremely effective at minimizing and preventing acne. I like to apply it around my nose to treat blackheads and on my forehead and chin, where I’m prone to breakouts. The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA, P695 My favorite for gentle exfoliation. It does a great job getting rid of dead skin and leaves it looking instantly more radiant. I also noticed how it made my skin less oily. You can get authentic The Ordinary skincare products at BeautyMnl, Zalora, and LOOK At Me PH.
