SvelT’i's EMERGE SKIN TREATMENT — BE AT YOUR MOST BEAUTIFUL YOU

When I was a bit younger, you could seldom hear me talk about skin treatments or even skin care for that matter. Add more years and you could see me go gaga to almost all topics about skin. Why? Because as they say, nasa huli ang pagsisisi talaga. I actually started late in "really caring" for my skin. But I still  believe in the saying, "It's never too late". Ofcourse, it is still best if you started young but for those of you who are like me — You can still start over. Not tomorrow, but NOW.

MINOLA COCONUT OIL: HEALTHIER THAN NO OTHER

The Minola brand has been around for over 50 years, OH BOY! Can you Imagine that. It has been here almost as my momma's existence. Since nanjan na sya for over 50 years, can I just say, sinubok na sya ng panahon. Am i right? or am I right? 

We are already a user of Minola and even my mom too. Its just that sometimes we use another brand as an alternative because we are trying out some of our options. I just didn't realize that Coconut Oil for cooking can give you so many benefits until last week. Guilty party right here.  Thankful enough for this realization as I was one of the fortunate blogger mommas who was able to attend the Forum which was organized by Minola and was facilitated by Dr. Fabian Dayrit.

I have always been aware that we need to be healthy always, but the information that I learned that day was more than enough for me to stop being unhealthy and by choice, I choose to eat right. Yes, tumatanda na ako as day passes by that's why I need to start practicing healthy living right now. — I know I've said this tons of times already,  ang hirap kasi. Alam ko alam nyo yung struggle, kasi ang sarap naman talaga kumain ng kaumain but after the information that I got, I guess ito na yun. It was really an eye opener to me. Gusto ko pang mabuhay ng matagal kasama ng pamilya ko.

COCO MARTIN FOR SARSAYA OYSTER SAUCE : ADD A DIFFERENT FLAVOR TO YOUR COOKING

I consider myself a late bloomer when it comes to cooking. But as they always say, "it's better late than never." And if you'll ask me why I was late in learning how to cook, my lamest excuse to that is because "mom and the yaya was always there" for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a spoiled brat or anything. It's just that whenever I tried to create and cook a dish, I always end up a failure — (yes, even the simplest dish that you can think of). So naturally, I became less motivated hanggang sa point na I stopped trying and umasa na lang ako with mum and yaya.

But, sabi nga nila, "habang may buhay, may pag-asa".
