Mustela Vitamin Barrier Cream : Makes a Happy Baby!

Hello, pretties!

Today, I will be featuring and reviewing one of my baby boy's best friend and my own angel in preventing baby's diaper rash.  I believe that nothing is more important than having a comfortable and happy baby.  And when I say comfortable and happy, it means no diaper rash.   Thanks to Mustela for their Mustela Vitamin Barrier Cream, I am one pleased and delighted mom with their products.

Sorry, wasn't able to get a clearer photo because of the lights inside the room.

I purchased this barrier cream together with other Mustela products featured on my August Haul (click the link).  Mustela has always been a trusted brand for babies and since our baby boy has been on/off with his bungang araw, I can't let go of this brand even though it's a way more expensive than the other brands.  (Unless I meet a tried and tested brand which is more affordable than Mustela but delivers the same results with this one.)  If you read my blog post about Mustela STELATOPIA Milky Bath Oil and its battle with my son's rashes, then you'll understand why I love this brand. 

Review : Mustela STELATOPIA® Milky Bath Oil

Hello, pretties!

Great and effective products entails great price.  I am not judging those affordable products but the reason why these products are priced in a much higher cost are because they are effective products.   And I believe that is also the reason why Mustela products are a bit more expensive than the rest of other baby products.

But who cares as long as it is safe and effective on my babies' skin needs?

I bought another set of Mustela baby (they have for mommies, too) products, as I mentioned on my August haul post.  Ahtough my baby does not have skin asthma or eczema, the hot, humid weather nowadays causes bungang araw on my baby's skin and Mustela STELATOPIA® Milky Bath Oil is a great help.

Hair Accessories : A DIY Back-to-School Project For My Little One

So, it's back to school again.  And my little one is now on its nursery school (last year I allowed her to attend school as a sit-in/observer student since she was not allowed to enroll on a regular class because of her age).   

I still have plenty of ribbons, fabrics, hair clips, metal headbands and accessories left since I used to sell hair clips and headbands online.   (Since I became preoccupied with all the activities : career, mom and wife duties, blogging, etc, etc.  not to mention my current hobby - gardening/flowers, I decided to take a rest on making hair accessories.)   But although I quit selling these online, I still make an effort to spare a day or two in making a pair or more for my little doll.   So now that she'll be going back to school, I decided to make one a pair for her.

The essentials.   Craft-making will never be good without them.

So this time, I will be featuring my little ones' must-haves.   I know every mom wants what's best for our babies but, of course, there are still products that may be more affordable compared to other products yet hiyang to our little ones.

So, mommies, here's my little one's must-haves :

Summer 2014 : The Baby's Journey

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/12298371/?claim=hdz5tuqm4n6">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>
Hello, pretties!

I know, rain has started to pour out for the last three days (especially during the afternoon).    But this Baby's Journey of her summer 2014 vacation is worth the share.

We went to the famous Boracay Island last April 3 - 6, 2014.   We will make this as our yearly birthday treat for our little girl (of course, as long as she likes it) since she really loves Boracay.   We stayed at La Bella Casa de Boracay (I will write a separate review on this on my next blog) since we preferred to be staying near the Station 1.   We already had experiences staying near Station 3 and 2 of the famous white beach.   

Enjoying the beach.. Inside the plastic bag is her castle-making tools.  

Our first night has been so tiring.  First is because of the very long travel, second is because our little girl had a fever

rompers!!! for my lil girl...

A romper suit is a one-piece garment worn by children and sometimes women. Somewhat similar to a coverall, it is loose fitting and usually has shorter legs that may be gathered at the end. Puffed pants are particularly associated with rompers. Rompers usually are meant as a combination of shorts and a shirt, though the term can include jumpers, one-piece bathing suits, and clubwear fashions to name a few.

I adored seeing little girls wearing romper suit or rompers, as we mostly call it.  Seeing them in rompers makes them look more bubbly.  Rompers now became part of every little girls closet. Unlike the conventional rompers, it has now a more girly touch with fabrics that varies from lace, silk and cotton.

Bought from Rhainella's Couture.  Some of their rompers have headbands or bows to match with.

I have not wasted my time searching for a romper for my little Kaizle through online shopping.  I have found two good sellers which have a wide selection of rompers and pettiskirts.  I have a hard time selecting rompers since almost all of their items are so beautiful.

MATCHED!!!

"A mother has far greater influence on her children than anyone else, and she must realize that every word she speaks, every act, every response, her attitude, even her appearance and manner of dress affect the lives of her children and the whole family. It is while the child is in the home that she gains from her mother the attitudes, hopes, and beliefs that will determine the kind of life she will live and the contribution she will make to society."

Having a little girl is like having a mini-me in the house.  A copy-cat of my self.  At the age of one year and nine months, Kaizle seemed to imitate most, if not all, of my gestures, mannerisms and expressions.  I carefully chose my actions and language at home since I have an important role in molding our daughter to be a person of good character.
