I always look forward to having puto bumbong at mainit na bibingka pagkatapos ng misa tuwing simbang gabi. Actually, mas gusto ko talaga yung bibingka especially yung maraming toppings na cheese, shredded coconut, at itlog na maalat. Pero, paano kaya yung classic bibingka na ginawang cake? It's definitely a dream dessert! And Bakerite just created their own version of that! Ni-level up nila yung paborito ng marami sa ating staple holiday treat by creating an indulgent cake na perfect ilagay sa gitna ng ating mga holiday tables. It's a soft and delicious cake made with one layer of ube cake and another layer of vanilla and filled with salted egg, muscovado, and salted cheese giving a sweet flavor with a hint of saltiness. You get a portion of salted egg in every bite and together with the cheese, they offer saltiness na mild and not overpowering, and because it's from Bakerite, it's decadent without being overly sweet. I've got to say, this Bibingka Cake will give you a somewhat a multi-dimensional, multi-textural taste experience. If you want to try this one-of-a-kind dessert, you can order it at your nearest Bakerite branch. Available din sila sa Foodpanda or pwede rin kayong mag-message sa kanilang Facebook page at Bakerite Bakery or at @bakeriteph on Instagram.

Some people light up when they receive the latest phone or some luxurious skincare products. But there are also people na kumpleto na ang Pasko kapag nakatanggap ng mga hygiene and cleaning products. Sa totoo lang mga ka-grocery moms, isa na ako dun. I think now more than ever, it's fine to be obsessed with sanitizing every surface in the house or our workspace. And now more than ever, we should be thinking of gifting our loved ones products that will help keep their spaces clean and germ-free. I say, we give them Messy & Bright Christmas Sets! This year, Messy Bessy came out with gift packs containing some of their must-have products for every budget. Bukod sa these are all-natural essentials, ang pinakamaganda pa is with every purchase, we're also supporting their mission in empowering at-risk Filipino youth through education and employment. So here are some sets that I recommend you give to the cleanest person you know that they will surely love and appreciate! Deskspace Mini Duo Set (50ml Desk & Workspace Cleaner + 50ml Disinfectant Aroma Spray), P139 I like using the Disinfectant Aroma Spray as a room spray. Ginagamit ko rin sya on toilet bowls, shoe closets, and other extra dirty areas. Plus, it has a refreshing scent pa. Best Sellers Duo Set 3 (500ml Room & Linen Spray + 500ml Minty Orange Surface Cleaner), P499 The Minty Orange Surface Cleaner is one of my current favorite all-purpose cleaners.

Ilang tulog na lang talaga, Pasko na! Pero kung naghahanap ka pa rin ng ipangreregalo sa kikay mong friend or katrabaho, you may want to consider buying your gift from a local indie beauty brand - Kálon Cosmetics. Aside from the fact that we're supporting a small business, we're giving a gift that's not only meaningful but also sustainable. This is because, Kálon Cosmetics offers organic, paraben-free & cruelty-free products. Not to mention, affordable rin ang kanilang mga lip products! Actually, I've already tried their Velvet Lip Cream (P189) which come in four beautiful shades. So let me share with you my thoughts on them lalo na if you plan on gifting yourself one. PROS ●Super nice and sturdy packaging ●Sweet scent that's not overpowering ●Thick, creamy with mousse-y texture ●Feel smooth and comfortable on the lips ●Amazing color pay off ●Quite hydrating ●Most shades look flattering on my morena skin CONS ●Not completely transfer-proof ●Not as long-lasting They also have Lip Glosses for P189 each. Plus, with every lip product purchased, it comes with a lovely pouch na perfect for gifting this holiday season. You can order them through Facebook at Kálon Cosmetics or at @kaloncomseticsph on Instagram.
Siguro I cook vegetable stir fry o mas kilala natin sa tawag na, Chop Suey at least twice a week. Gustong gusto ko siyang niluluto kasi for one, in about 15 minutes luto na sya, it's also a great way to use up leftover veggies, and I can customize it depending on what I have. At syempre, it's a healthy and flavorful vegetable dish. Yesterday, I was about to cook one. Ang problema, naubusan na kami ng pangsahog, normally chicken or pork ang hinahalo ko. Good thing, I always have a can of Spam in my pantry. Alam naman natin how versatile this canned meat it. Although what I did, I cooked all the veggies together separately. I then cut the Spam into cubes before frying it. I just placed it on top of the vegetable dish. Hindi ko na hinalo yung Spam sa gulay since gusto ko yung crispness niya which will give the dish added texture. The ingredients I use are garlic, onion, carrots, baby corn, bell pepper, cabbage, green beans, salt and pepper to taste. I also added a little red crushed pepper just to give it a bit of a kick. Ang ginamit kong Spam is, Spam Lite which has less calories, less fat, and less sodium compared to the regular one. Share nyo na rin mga ka-grocery moms what your favorite easy Spam recipe is.
I enjoy investing in multi-use beauty products. From mattifying powders which help control excess shine on my face, at the same time blurs the look of uneven texture or a pencil na pwede kong gamitin as an eyeliner and a lip liner, at ang pinaka paborito ko is a lip and cheek tint. This product I use not only to save time, but also effort and energy when it comes to getting ready. I always make sure na I have one in my go-to bag. Pero how about a lip and cheek tint that I can actually use as a keychain for my bag? Now that's multipurpose! I just recently got the newest Kiwi Tin Lip and Cheek Tint from barenbliss. Bukod sa unique at cute packaging which is inspired by the paint tins that a lot of artists use na like I said, pwedeng gamitin as keychain or a fashionable accessory even. Ang kakaiba pa is yung "blind box" concept nila which I heard is the first in the country. Pipili ka ng gusto mong shade ng tint but the color of the packaging will come as a surprise. It's definitely fun and exciting. Syempre hindi lang naman packaging ang tinitingnan natin pagdating sa makeup. With this two-in-one tint, it has nourishing skin-loving formula that's pigmented, blendable, and claims to last up to 12 hours. It also comes with four shades to match our moods. The one I got is, Browny Chilly which is an intense ginger brown color for that dark mood. I've only worn it twice, so hindi pa ako makapagbigay ng in-depth review but I'll say this, it feels lightweight, sits comfortably on the lips, and delivers vivid pigmentation, impressive din ang lasting power, at ang pinakanagustuhan ko, it's highly moisturising. If you like to try them, you may checkout yours at Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop priced at P399. You may also follow them at @barenblissph on Instagram.
Cathy Doll's Speed White CC Cream SPF50 has got to be one of my favorites from the brand. I like to use it on days na ayokong maglagay ng foundation as it's a more lightweight makeup product. It's also great for brightening my complexion and it has SPF. This Christmas, I will be gifting some of my loved ones this Cathy Doll Love Yourself Gift Set (P299). Bukod sa favorite kong CC Cream which is in sachet packaging with a screw cap. It also comes with a Hello Kitty Color Lipstick which is a lightweight and pigmented lipstick with a soft, satin formula. I definitely recommend this makeup set kung naghahanap ka ng affordable gift para sa beauty lover mong friend or co-worker especially if they're either so-called makeup kindergartener or someone who may just be interested in trying out new products. This set is available at any Watsons store or you may also visit Cathy Doll's Official Lazada and Shopee store.
It's been a hot minute since the last time I did a review on a skincare product. Siguro kasi I haven't really been using that many new products in my routine. Pero recently I discovered a brand that is new to me, and they sent over a product na bago lang din sa akin. It's actually from a Korean skincare brand, Axis-Y. Axis-Y is a clean, natural, cruelty-free, and a climate-inspired skincare brand na sa pagkakaintindi ko, it means they formulated their products with carefully curated ingredients for different climate and skin types. Ang focus din ng mga products nila is to combat environmental aggressors and skin stressors kagaya ng pollution and UV damage. The very first product na na-try ko na from them is this Axis-Y PHA Resurfacing Glow Peel which claims to gently exfoliates the skin and clears the pores to reveal rejuvenated skin. I use it once a week and mga four times ko na siyang na-apply sa skin ko. PROS ●Comes in a sleek, clean and minimal packaging with a pump ●Has a watery gel texture that's very lightweight ●Fragrance-free ●Easy to apply ●Rinse off easily ●Leaves the skin feeling clean and fresh ●Gentle on the skin CONS ●Can leave the skin feeling a little dry I think it's the first time I've tried a gel-water peel product, and I was really surprised with its consistency that's very soothing and stimulating. Post rinse, my skin feels really fresh and radiant. Although, it does dry out my skin a little, so I don't think it's suitable for people with super dry skin. Overall, I love this product as it gives my skin that instant glow and my skin texture has definitely improved with every use. Axis-Y PHA Resurfacing Glow Peel is priced at P699. Available at BeautyMnl, or your can shop thru the link in their bio at @axisy_philippines on Instagram.
Can you guess a food that can be eaten anytime in any condition, hot or cold, easily available, affordable but really delicious, and has numerous options and varieties? Syempre pizza na yan! I'm sure we all have go-to places for pizza, karamihan siguro mga major chain restaurants or online-based stores. But if you're someone who's looking to branch out of your favorite spot for a slice or maybe a box of handmade, brick oven-cooked, flavour-packed pizzas, check out Fritzza Pies! Fritzza Pies specializes in coal-fired, sourdough pizzas. Dahil dyan, their pizzas have a light and slightly crunchy crust but also chewy that's thin in the centre and quite thick and charred around the edges, at syempre may smokey flavour na hindi overpowering. They offer a variety of pizza flavors from Cheese (P300), Pepperoni (P350), 3 Cheese With Sausage (P400), and Anchovy and Olives (P450). Para sa akin must-try flavors yung Sausage With Jalapeño (P400) which offers a journey of flavors; slightly sweet and smoky with a little bit of heat, and good amount of cheese and tasty sausage. Na-enjoy ko rin yung isa sa mga Filipino Originals nila which is Tofu Sisig (P450). Also, kung akala ninyo no pizza will taste good if they are reheated, with Fritzza Pies, their boxes actually come with reheating instructions pa to make your pizza taste almost as good as it did when you first ordered it. Fritzza Pies is located at BF Homes, Paranaque. You can place your orders for delivery or pick up thru the link in their bio at @fritzzapies on Instagram.
