I'm sure naisip nyo na rin na kung pwede lang ibigay natin yung pinakamagaganda at pinakamahal na mga regalo para sa mga mahal natin sa buhay lalo na tuwing Pasko. But the reality is, money doesn't grow on trees, so we have to show some restraint, a little bit of discretion when it comes to holiday shopping. Pero naniniwala rin ako na, if you've got the means to splurge a little come the holidays, there's really no time like the present to give others, or kahit para sa sarili mo, that well-deserved present. Kaya naman sa first part ng aking holiday gift guide, it's from one of my favorite luxury brands specializing in skincare, fragrances, and makeup products - Elizabeth Arden! If you're looking for a gift for the beauty junkies in your life or if you just want to treat yourself to a luxury skin care, consider giving them Elizabeth Arden's Retinol Ceramide Capsules (P6,600). It's a luxurious, lightweight, semi-translucent serum that claims to visibly diminishes lines & wrinkles. If they're like me na mahilig sa mga floral, fruity fragrances, I'm sure magugustuhan nila yung Sunflowers Eau de Toilette (P3,000). Elizabeth Arden is available at Rustan's and ZALORA or you can visit their official Lazada store.

Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na less than a month na lang, it's my most favorite time of the year na. Of course, there are a lot of reasons to love the holidays, pero para sa makeup lover na gaya ko, Christmas makeup is definitely on top of my list. As much as I love seeing extravagant makeup looks for the holidays, yun bang bold red lips to gold glitter smokey eyes. Personally though, I still prefer to keep it low-key mga ka-grocery moms. A simple and versatile makeup look using soft pink and purple eyeshadows with baby cat eyes, plus a nice neutral lip color. So here's an easy makeup inspiration for those who still feel a little overwhelmed trying to figure out your makeup looks during the Christmas and holiday season using some new makeup and a few cult-favorite ones too! Products Used: Barenbliss True Beauty Inside Cushion in Beige, P899 Nichido Final Powder in Creamy Glow, P153 Glossier Cloud Paint in Dawn, P1,315 Focallure Painter Eyeshadow #1, P759 Barenbliss Better Than Magic Eyeliner, P299 Focallure Mascara, P250 Maybelline Tattoo Brow Ink Pen, P399 Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow + Volumizing Eyebrow Gel Mini in Cool Black-Brown, P930 MAC Hypnotizing Holiday Tiny Tricks Mini Lipstick in Snappy-Go-Lucky, P900 (Set of 3) Share nyo na rin mga ka-grocery moms if you also prefer a simple makeup look for the holidays.
Ever since natikman ko yung Max's Tofu Sisig, super nagustuhan ko sya kaya hinanap ko talaga yung recipe online. Believe it or not mga ka-grocery moms, I would make it at least once a week. Madalas inuulam namin sya for dinner or minsan pa nga we would have it as a snack for our family movie night. I've got to admit though, na medyo nagsasawa na kami sa tofu sisig, kaya naisipan kong gumamit ng ibang main ingredient. Imbes na tofu, I used these crispy paper thin pork belly chips from Papel na Liempo. The ingredients I used are; Papel na Liempo Original, mayonnaise, oyster sauce, bell pepper, long green chili, red onion, calamansi, salt and pepper to taste. Bukod sa nice, crunchy texture nung pork belly chips, it has that savoury, na may konting anghang, and hint of sweetness and creaminess from the mayonnaise. These are actually all the flavors na gustong gusto ko sa isang dish. Share nyo na rin mga ka-grocery moms what you're favorite sisig recipe is.
Aminin na natin mga ka-grocery moms, mahilig talaga ang marami sa atin sa mga deep-fried treats, mapa-chicharon man yan or chicken skin. Bukod kasi sa kanilang crunchy texture, they're tasty at super versatile din. They can be eaten on their own as portable snacks or for pulutan, at pwede ring isahog sa ilan nating paboritong Pinoy dishes. How about a thinly sliced pork, breaded and deep fried to a crisp? Plus come with over 10 flavors pa such as BBQ, Cheese, Saucy Beef, Pizza, and Sour Cream? Introducing, Papel na Liempo! Papel na Liempo offers crispy and flavorful liempo chips na pareho yung texture sa lechon kawali pero yun nga mas maninipis yung hiwa nung pork, so mas madali siyang kainin at perfect as an on-the-go snack. Sa mga kagaya kong mahilig sa mga salted egg-flavored snacks, I highly recommend you try their Salted Egg. Each chip has just the right amount of salted egg coating - really indulgent but not too much that it ends up being nakakaumay. Super nagustuhan ko rin yung sweet and chilli dip nila that goes exceptionally well with the savory thin liempo crisps. They are available in different sizes: Budbod (P79), Sakto (P139), Salo (P199), and Sobra (P259). You can order them online. Just visit them on Facebook at Papel na Liempo or follow them on Instagram at @papelnaliempo. You can also visit their branches in Market,Market! BGC, Robinsons Townville BF Homes, SMRC Bldg., Katipunan, and Aurora Cubao (near corner Seattle St.).
Ever since nakita ko sya sa K-romance, medical drama Hospital Playlist, I've always wanted to try an egg drop sandwich. It's everything I want in a sandwich. It has fluffy eggs, buttered toast, cheese, sweet mayo sauce, and more. Plus, its iconic visual aesthetic that never fails to make your mouth water. Hindi nakapagtataka mga ka-grocery moms na dahil sa popularity ng South Korean snack na ito, it has inspired a lot of our local food businesses to create their own versions, using a variety of sauces, meats, and toppings. Kaya naman if you’re looking to try these savory treats but don't want to spend an arm and leg, I recommend you check out, Toastie Roll! Toastie Roll offers multiple variations of delicious, easy-to-eat, and affordable egg drop sandwiches divided into classic and premium selections. For as low as P90, you can enjoy their Classic Egg Toast (Brioche bread, fluffy scrambled egg, and cheese topped with parsley flakes, sweet or sriracha mayo). Or my favorites from their premium selection; Shawarma Like Toast (P150) and Tasty Shrimp on Egg (P165). Super nagustuhan ko yung soft, thick, buttery brioche bread nila that’s slightly sweet. Their fluffy scrambled eggs are cooked and seasoned perfectly, their sweet mayo adds just the right amount of sweetness. Even their sriracha mayo is good, it's a little bit creamy with a very mild spice. They are definitely heavy-on-the-belly sandwiches although I just wish they'll be more generous with the filling, but for the price, I can't even complain. Go ahead mga ka-grocery moms and order at Toastie Roll located at Rosario, Pasig City. You can order through GrabFood, via their Facebook page at Toastie Roll, or at @toastieroll on Instagram.
I can say na I grew up using a lot of products from Palmolive especially yung mga shampoo and conditioner nila. It's one of those brands na parati nating nakikita at nabibili sa kahit anong tindahan, mapa-sari-sari store man yan or sa supermarket. Ang kagandahan sa Palmolive, bukod sa they offer a wide range of affordable hair and body care products, a lot of their bar soaps and, shampoo and conditioner have long lasting fragrances pero hindi overpowering yung amoy. With that said, let me share with you mga ka-grocery moms, ang aking top 5 favorites from the brand. Some matagal ko ng ginagamit, some recently ko lang na-discover pero super nagustuhan ko. Palmolive Naturals Sea Minerals Body Wash, P175 It has a nice refreshing scent and it's easy to work into a lather on a sponge. It definitely leaves skin feeling clean on every use. Plus, I only need a little bit with each shower, so a bottle lasts a long time. Palmolive Naturals White With 100% Natural Papaya Bar Soap, P43 It smells like your typical papaya soap but not too strong and dizzying. Although I don't use it on my face, it's a very moisturizing bar that has that luxurious feel to it. Palmolive Naturals Anti Dandruff + Scalp Health Shampoo & Conditioner, P53 I've only used this a few times but it definitely cleansed my hair and leaves my scalp feeling quite soothed, plus, it smells great. Palmolive Micellar Pure Moisture Shampoo, P179 This gentle shampoo leaves my hair soft, supple and somewhat healthy. I also love its light floral scent. Palmolive Naturals Intensive Moisture Conditioner, P125 Although it doesn't provide a lot of lather, it does leave the stands ultra-silky smooth that never feels greasy or heavy. It also smells light and fresh. Share nyo rin mga ka-grocery moms what your favorite products from Palmolive are.
