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. 

Sample Room PH : How It Works

Hola pretties!

Yeah, yeah, I know! I was a bit late on getting to know Sample Room (am I the only one?).   As I previously mentioned on my First Ever Sample Room Haul, I stumbled upon this site while looking for ways to modify and beautify (Lol!) my blog site.

READ-WORTHY OF THE MONTH : Chicken Soup for the Soul (Moms Know Best)

This is again another revelation of one of my passions in life : BOOKS!    Aside from shopping beauty products and clothes, I am also an impulse-buyer of books.   Who doesn't love reading, anyway?   Aside from the fact that it is entertaining, reading reduces stress from work, it is mentally stimulating, adds up my knowledge, expands my memory, vocabulary and writing skills, improves my focus and attention and aids in developing stronger analytical skills.   So, there you know its benefits.   Now, enough of my ramblings.  Lol!

So, I decided that every month I will share to you the books I am currently indulging with.   

While looking for a Game of Thrones box set at National Bookstore, I saw this book and suddenly I fell in love with it (agad-agad?).  

 

Chicken Soup for the Soul books has always been my all-time favorite.   I was able to read several Chicken Soup books way back high school years.   I love that its stories are so practical and  very inspirational. 

SkinWhite Advanced Whitening Soap

Hello pretties!

Summer will never be complete without frequent visit to beaches and exposure to the heat of the sun.   We were able to have a 4-day vacation in Boracay and, as expected, a darker skin color is what I got.   I am morena and I think it will always stay that way.   What I wanted is to lighten my dark skin brought by exposure to the sun during our vacation and eventually even out my skin tone.   So, while looking for a whitening lotion or soap, I spotted this one and decided to try this (blame it to the TV commercials) with the hope that it will deliver its promise  : "Whiten skin in 7 days."

So, I bought the 125g  (it also has 90g) for only around PhP60 (I forgot the exact price). 

Little One's Must-Haves

Yeah, I have been featuring beauty products and reviews lately. 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 :

Product Name : Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

Product Description : This gentle, soap-free cleanser was originally formulated for dermatologists, specifically for everyday cleansing of even the most sensitive skin.

Use/s : For the face

SAMPLE ROOM HAUL : Another First

I've been re-inventing my blog site and tried searching for what's good for my site that I stumbled upon Sample Room.   It's tagline "Try Before You Buy" caught my attention.  Isn't it so nice that you got to test the product/s you are planning to buy if it will be good on you or not by trying it out first - FOR FREE!

I know, I'm a bit late when it comes to Sample Room since it went live on December 2012.   I will write a separate post about Sample Room and how it works.

For now, I am very delighted to share to you my first (and definitely not the last) ever haul from Sample Room.  DRUM ROLLS PLEASE.... Teehee!

I signed up last June 11, 2014 and the packaged arrived on the 13th.  Exciting!
