SM Welcomes the Year of the Dog with a "Bow-Wow"


Welcome the 2018, the Year of the Earth Dog with these lovelies from the SM Accessories Kids and Toy Kingdom!



Just looking at those adorable button eyes, makes me want to buy one for myself...



Like children born in the Year of the Dog, these plush toys are cheerful, obliging, and a good sport. The Dog, after all, is said to be the most likeable sign in the Chinese Zodiac.
And kids born in the Year of the Dog are said to be honest, intelligent, egalitarian, and super-loyal.  These children are playful, friendly, and outgoing, appreciated by peers and adults alike for their warmth, candidness, and sense of humor.  A dog is a very good and supportive friend to have indeed. When the chips are down, the Dog will always be at your side.


Check out these little Pomeranian dog plushies dressed in birthday, sailor and baseball costumes.


Cutie Beagles begging for a pat.



Paw Patrol fans are sure to go gaga, over these Paw Patrol inspired plushies.



These plushies are sure to make such perfect playmates!



Bring home hugs, joy and charm with these adorable little dogs - available at the SM Accessories Kids department of The SM Store and Toy Kingdom.

What to give a man, who has everything?

With Valentines Day fast approaching (yes it is just around the corner), I have been rocking (literally) the internet for the perfect gift to my ex-boyfriend (now my husband). 

What do I get someone who has it all? Yes more internet rocking!!! 
 
Good thing the internet has answers to everything.  Type: "What to get a good looking and super bait husband for Valentines?"   

The top of the list answer is "know your recipient's wants and interests".  Now that is easy. My husband loves food, sports, playing with our boys and sprucing himself cool.

1. Eating out is easy, but it can be extra special by dressing up and looking pretty for the occasion. There are bargain dining deals on-line.  I normally purchase via Cash Cash Pinoy, Deal Grocer or Metrodeal. They offer 50-60% off regular rates.

2. Special board games would be nice too.  Check out this on-line game store "Game Library" selling novelty board games. My boys will surely spend hours playing these games.

Sample Boardgames from Game Library


3. Basket ball tickets via Ticket Net.  My husband loves basketball and would love to have me watch his favorite game.  I would be of course be perfect if you can get him tickets to cheer his favorite basket ball team.

 4. For cool clothing finds, I always go to either Zalora or Lazada.  These are personally tried and tested on-line shopping sites. Zalora has numerous selections of fine shirts/polo brands, my husband will definitely love.  Check out these wonderful finds:  Crimson shirt to match with your favorite bottoms.

I am just so happy with on-line shopping ~ real easy and hassle free.  However, no matter how fun shopping on-line may be, remember to stay safe on-line.

Online Shopping Anyone?

Don't you just love online shopping? And what is not to like, e-shopping is so much convenient and easier than traditional shopping.

Just imagine, sitting in the comfort of your chair, sipping freshly brewed coffee, as you browse through various online stores, checking out a multitude of shoe brands, styles, colors of your liking and then delivered right to your door step.





However, although online shopping is fun and easy, you should remember to exercise caution online.

  1. Deal only with reputable merchants/online stores.
  2. Research about the seller, especially if you are buying high ticket items.
  3. Make sure that the site is secured before making any payments.
  4. Keep a copy of your transaction receipts, for reference just in case.
  5. Check all the details in your purchase before hitting that buy button.  Double check return policy and the terms and conditions of the sale.

Sharing here some of my most trusted online merchants ~ personally tried and tested.


I am a sucker for group buying sites. Where else can you get up to 70% discounts on premium items?  My two favorite group buy sites are:
  • CashCashPinoy - I have been a client since 2012 and I have bought a great deal of items from CashCashPinoy, from travel bags, backpack, restaurant vouchers, etc.   In my 2 years buying from them, I have never experienced delayed shipment or problems with my item/s.

  • DealGrocer - This site features premium items and I have used it a great deal, whenever I am in a hunt for high-end hotel accommodations.

For fashionable finds, however, I frequent:
  • Zalora - I love that they have an extensive selection of children's apparel and shoes, perfect for the kiddos. Check out these trendy sneakers.

Hubby meanwhile would definitely go berserk-excited seeing these so many watches (lol)!

  • Next in my online stores' list is Lazada. It is my go to online store for electronic items. I literally spend hours just checking out these cool gadgets.


With Online Shopping , everything is literally a click a way.

BDJ - CoverGirl Exclusive (December 2014)


My December BDJ box finally came, after being delayed by Typhoon Ruby.  


I checked-out (did the usual shaking and weighing) the box and found it a tad lighter than the previous beauty boxes I have received.  

I opened my box half-hearted (wishing full instead of sampler sized products).  Lo and behold, I saw the COVERGIRL logo.




    
This month's beauty box is a CoverGirl Exclusive  - now this is what I meant by coming back, and with vengeance.  A rush of blood came rushing back my face!  This is by far the best BDJ Box I have received. Talk about saving the best to end the year.    
So here is what's inside:
1. TruBlend Liquid Makeup, 30ml (P645).  It is a liquid foundation that provides smooth full coverage for a flawless natural look.




2. TruBlend Pressed Powder, 11ml (P425).  Has a silky- smooth formula that blends beautifully with all skin tones, perfect for a natural, fresh, no make-up look.




3. Cheekers Blush, 3g (P395). A portable mini-compact blusher that gives you a natural rosy silk flush (will only be available in stores on Feb 2015).






4. Smoky Shadow Blast, 4.6g (P525). For smoky-dramatic eyes in an instant. 




5. LashBlast Fusion Water Resistant Mascara, 12g (P595). It is a super-volumizing fiber-stretched mascara formula with an oversized brush that guarantees to make your lash bigger, fuller and more dramatic. 




VERDICT:

My entire box value is over P2,500!
This box alone is so worth, my last four (4) months subscription.   
I love CoverGirl and BDJ!! 





Two words:  Awesome!  Awesome!

BDJ - Benefit Exclusive - Sweet Shoppe (November 2014)

First let me begin with a confession: "I am not a Benefit Cosmetics avid".    




I have mentioned in a previous post, that I would rather go for less known inexpensive local cosmetic's brands, meant for the Asian skin. That being said, I do not really dislike Benefits Cosmetics totally.  I just find it's price exorbitant, which I guess explains the  small sampler products included in the box.   Well it was not all bad, though, since samplers are easier to stash in your travel adventure kits.



 The box contains a selection of items from the Benefit's Sweet Shoppe, here is what's inside:

 1. It's Potent! Eye Cream, 14g (P1800).  It is an eye cream that helps restore skin's elasticity and protect it from free radicals. 




 2. Big Easy Complexion Perfector, 35ml 9 (P2000). It is a 2-in1 facial coverage that helps control oil, while keeping your face moisturized.



3. Posiebalm Hydrating Lip Balm, 3g (P1000). Posie balm helps hydrate and condition your lips, while giving it a hint of sweet pinkish glow.  


4. Lollitint Lip and Cheek Stain, 12.5ml (P1700). A smudge proof and smooch proof formula for your cheeks and lips all day long.

5. They're Real! Push-Up Line, 1.4g (P1300). It is a water-proof, matte black gel eyeliner than can last up to 24 hours.





 6. They're Real Mascara, 8.5g (P1300). Jet black lash coverage, that can make your lashes gorgeously long and thick without clumping up together.


 7. They're Real! Eye Makeup Remover, 50ml (P1000). It is an eye make-up remover that cleanse without irritating your eyes.



  OTHER ITEMS

  • Instant Comeback Facial Serum and Total Moisture Facial Cream. These serum and facial cream helps bring back your skin youthful and natural glow, by keeping it hydrated.



  • Hello Gorgeous Voucher - Free makeupper and brow consultation at your favorite Benefit Store

HONEST VERDICT







Some of the items in this month's box were repeats of the June 2014 Box: Let the Beauty Begin!  Repeat items were the Potent Eye Cream, Big Easy Complexion Perfector and Lollitint Lip and Cheek Stain.

I haven't even bothered opening the Potent Eye Cream, which means, now I have 2 unopened eye creams.


I have  finished the Big Easy Complexion Perfector in the June package and I am now using the new one (so that's good).


The June, Lollitint Lip and Cheek Stain, I have opened and used a couple of times, until my August BDJ Box came with my all time favorite, Ofra Long Lasting Lipstick.  The opened Lollitint went to my back-up, make-up kit.


Honestly,  I have not yet used most of these products.  The eyeliner, mascara, lip balm and eye make up remover are currently just hogging spaces inside my make up box (another good thing, they came in small).  

I hope December 2014 will redeem. Learn more on Beauty Boxes here:

BDJ - Skin Savers (October 2014)

I am so excited to receive my October 2014 BDJ.  I knew it was special as there were two (2) boxes. 





This month's BDJ is all about maintaining your skin's youthful glow.
And youthful, glowing skin is something we all value.   

I opened the Dial box first and was happy to get full sized Dial products: 


Dial Cleansing Pair
1. Dial Coconut Water Body Wash (473ml, Php 200)
2. Dial Coconut Water Soap (113g, Php 140 for a trio pack)

These came in so timely, as my boys' bodywash are near empty.  My boys love the smell of fresh coconut, and since these were infused with coco water I knew for a fact that it is gentle even on children's skin.  Its main ingredients Coconut water is known to be rich in antioxidants and electrolytes (simply put, keeping your skin hydrated).




The main box was as heavy as the first, which kept me excited. It contains three (3) full side products and three (3) expensive fillers (in tiny packaging).

3. My Choice Spa Salt (500g, Php 100)
This one is a salt scrub packed with anti-oxidants and vitamins. 4. My Choice Hand and Body Lotion (90ml, Php 70)

6. Revlon ColorStay 16-Hour Eye Shadow Quad (1.9oz, Php 795)
Beautiful eye color that you can wear for up to 16 hours. This product promises a crease and smudge free, hence a fresh look when applied.



The expensive filler, which would have appreciated if they came in full or at least a week usable packaging (but I guess I am that lucky yet).
  • L'Oreal Paris Youth Duo L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser X3 Serum (30ml, Php 1500)
    L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser X3 Anti-Aging Day Cream (50ml, Php 1500)


The serum help reduces  fine lines & refines skin texture in continued 4 weeks use, while the day cream help smoothen pores and replump skin.

    RELIEVE – This smoothing, calming whip delight calms your inflamed skin — perfect as a post-hair removal treatment.
  • Malin + Goetz Peppermint Body Scrub (220ml, Php 1650)
    PREVENT – With bamboo and pumice to help shed dead skin, this cooling and creamy scrub will prevent ingrown hair.
  • Malin + Goetz Ingrown Hair Cream (15ml, Php 1750)
    TREAT – It contains papaya and pineapple enzyme to eliminate ingrown hair, as well as vitamins B5 and E to repair your skin.

My best finds this month in my BDJ Box are the Dial Cleansing Pair (We have been using the Dial Coconut Water body wash and soap and my I love how smooth and moisturized it feels right after bathing) and the Dove Hair Fall Rescue treatment (I have been using this one as well, too soon to tell if its working though).

I have also been using the Yves  Rocher Zero Blemish Gel Cream.  It smells so nice at application and I was surprise it does real wonder to your face, by protecting it from blemish and shine.  It is perfect for my combination type skin.  Now, if only they came in bigger containers. 


This month's box is all worth my P580.

Help Build Your Child's Multiple Intelligence

 

What type of SMART are you?

 



The theory of Multiple Intelligences developed by Dr. Howard Gardner, a professor of education at Harvard University, suggests that there are eight (8) different intelligences or learning styles:


Children are born with the capacity for all different types of smarts.  However, we focus too much on linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligence and fail to give as much attention on the other intelligences. Children with smarts other than brain smart, receive very little reinforcement at home and in school, in nurturing their true intelligence.  

The challenge to us parents is to provide our children with opportunities to cultivate these gifts.

How do we develop our children’s intelligence?

Your child needs your help to succeed in life, especially in todays competitive and more complex society.  Here are some of the things we can do as parents?

  • Expose your child to new experiences.  Spend time listening to different types of music together, attend theater plays and musicals, visit museums, take nature walks and commune with nature.  The list goes on.
  • Limit computer play and encourage them to do active outdoor sports.
  • Play make believe and explore different worlds: real or not.   
  • Buy toys that foster active thinking and imagination.
 
 
Check out "ExploreSandbox," an innovative activities set that teaches by means of creative play.



My boys busy with their magical bird.
 
 

Creative play using ExploreSandbox.
My boys are so good at this! 

  • Stay away from junk foods and give them healthy food options. Feed them fruits and vegetables to keep them healthy and strong. Drink vitamins and minerals rich milk. Try high nutrients milk formula, such as Progress Pre-school GOLD.

One of the best gift you can give your children is the gift of harnessing their full potential. 

Start now and read more about how you can help your child SUCCEED.
