Found these cute, little square boxes of cream filled biscuits, not at the supermarket but at my favorite convenience store - 7-Eleven. They're called Collon from popular Japanese snack brand, Glico. These are basically biscuit rolls filled with various soft cream flavor. Dalawa lang yung nakita kong flavors sa store - Chocolate and Strawberry. First of all, kagaya ng maraming Japanese snacks, they are incredibly easy to open and like I said, have cute print designs. The biscuits naman are bite-sized, cylindrical pieces that are tasty and crunchy. The Collon Chocolate has a soft and fluffy chocolate cream centre though I would like it to have a richer, fuller chocolate taste. But if you prefer a smooth, subtle, and perfectly sweet chocolate cream, you'll enjoy it. The Collon Strawberry has got to be my favorite as not only it has a stronger, delightful strawberry flavour, it also has a sweet and scented smell of soft strawberry cream. I could finish a box in one sitting! Glico Collon in Chocolate and Strawberry is available at 7-Eleven for P42.50 each.

I've been wanting to try the two new rice bowl meals at Wendy's but when I went to their branch in Metro Market Market over the weekend, hindi na available yung Beef Chili nila. But I still managed to try their Beefy Mushroom. This Beefy Mushroom has 100% pure beef patty on top of hot steamed rice served with house-made creamy mushroom gravy, topped with mushroom & sautéed onion, served in a bowl which honestly reminds of Jollibee's Burger Steak minus the onion. Although, I've got to say mas tender and juicy yung beef patty ni Wendy's but not as flavourful. Overall, as always I could tell it's made with high-quality ingredients, pretty tasty and definitely filling. Wendy's Beefy Mushroom is available in Solo (P175) and Combo (P199) in all their branches.
Share nyo na rin if you've tried this new rice bowl meal at Wendy's. We've tried most snacks from Alibaba, at sa totoo lang na-enjoy namin lahat since we're all big snack eaters. Lalo na yung anak ko as he would bring a pack as baon sa school, may mga naging favorites na talaga sya. So, here are our top 5 favorite snacks from this super affordable snack brand, Alibaba that you should also include on your next grocery shopping list! Alibaba Super Snack Mixed A delicious savory snack na may cornick, green peas, peanuts, and chips. It's not overly salted compared sa ibang snack mixes na na-try namin before. Aladdin Funtas Stick Peanut Butter These are oven-baked and crunchy golden-brown biscuits na may sweet and salty flavor. This peanut butter one is my son's favorite as it has a nice, subtle peanut butter taste. Alibaba Crunchy Corn Chips Barbecue Flavor A classic crunchy corn chips with just the right blend of barbeque seasoning. Alibaba Happy Bear Choco These are tasty bite-size crispy, soft shell biscuits with chocolate filling inside. Alibaba Crunchy Corn Chips Pizza Flavor This has got to be my favorite since I love everything pizza flavored. Aside from the satisfying crunch, each chip is generously covered with slightly salty and pizza flavoring powder. These Alibaba snacks are available in mostly all supermarkets nationwide such as Puregold, Robinsons, Mercury Drug Stores, Alfamart, and more.

For someone na merong daily, weekly, at monthly cleaning schedule, I use a lot of different cleaning products. And aaminin ko, in the past ang ginagamit ko lang were conventional cleaners with harsh chemicals. Although in the last few years, naging extra thoughtful na rin ako about what I use. Kumbaga, cleaning products I can feel good about using at home, especially that I have a kid and pets too. Kaya I always get excited kapag nakaka-discover ako ng mga natural cleaning products that will get the job done while reducing our exposure to harmful chemicals. However, these products can also get a little pricey, but not these vegan, and locally sourced cleaning products from Clean And Simple. Clean And Simple is all about natural cleaning products that are safe especially for our kids and furry friends without breaking the bank. They sent me a set of all their products to address different problems and areas of our home. Their Complete Set includes: All Purpose Cleaner, P175 Bathroom Cleaner, P185 Glass Cleaner, P175 Floor Cleaner, P175 Disinfectant, P176 I love that each of their natural cleaner provides a subtle fragrance such as sandalwood, orange, and chamomile from essential oils. The Glass Cleaner wipes away smudges with ease as I use it on our windows and mirrors. Their All Purpose Cleaner does a great job cleaning inside and outside of my fridge. I also like using their Disinfectant in different parts of our home. My favorite has got to be their Bathroom Cleaner as it effectively removes soap scum and grime, plus it smells so good that I just want to spray it everywhere. You can get all these natural and affordable cleaning products on their website at www.cleansimple.ph.

I know na the tired eye is a popular new makeup look, though personally I still prefer to make my eyes appear more defined, open and awake. And syempre, mascara is one of the most impactful makeup products that can give high-impact results in just seconds. With that said, tingnan natin if this mascara from Koii Cosmetics can take my eyes from tired-looking to wide open. It's their Koii Cosmetics Lash Doubling 4D Mascara which claims to add volume, length and definition for a fuller and more dramatic look. PROS ●Comes in a black, sleek rectangular tube packaging ●Comes in a nice, flexible, and easy to use rubber wand ●Has a true black formula ●Has buildable formula ●Easily elongates the lashes ●Doesn't smudge ●Waterproof ●Long-wearing CONS ●Takes a little more time to dry completely ●Doesn't give insane volume ●Can be challenging to remove the formula ●A little pricey I've already used this mascara a couple of times and this is one of the deepest blacks I've tried. I love how it gives my lashes that feathery, natural, separated look. It stays on for a long time and won't smudge. On the other hand, it also makes it hard to remove at the end of the day—especially if I put on lots of layers. I have to say, it doesn't give instense volume but no doubt it creates a gorgeous, lengthened lashes which I definitely like. You can get this Koii Cosmetics Lash Doubling 4D Mascara for P520 on their Shopee store here: https://shopee.ph/koiicosmetics.
Share nyo na rin what your current favorite mascara is. 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! Share nyo na rin what your favorite sisig recipe is.
P.S. You can get this Luminarc Smart Cuisine Oven Dish at their official Shopee and Lazada stores for P1,300, currently on sale at P1,099. |
