REPOST: 5 ways to look your best while preggy
Monday, July 16
This is a cool post for mom-to-bes like me to read.. :)
You’ve heard so much about this so-called “pregnancy glow” but why isn’t it happening to you?
First of all, this “glow” is purely hormonal and the result of an increased flow of blood to the vessels and even oil secretions on your face.
Secondly, it’s hard to hide the unease you feel about your body—hormones going haywire, your body adjusting to the new life it’s nurturing.
Instead of worrying too much about your ever-changing body, here are a few ways to feel beautiful during the 9-month wait.

1. Don’t become a couch potato.
Being pregnant seems like a good excuse to stay in bed all day and stop exercising. But women who are feeling bloated or experiencing morning sickness benefit from light physical activity throughout the pregnancy. Try walking around your neighborhood, light stretching and pre-natal yoga.
Also, don’t see pregnancy as a license for excessive weight gain. According to WebMD, “In general, you should gain about 2 to 4 pounds during your first three months of pregnancy and 1 pound a week for the remainder of your pregnancy.”
Packing on too many pounds mean the weight will be harder to get rid of when you have your baby.
2. Visit the salon.
There was a time when pregnant women were not allowed for any reason to dye their hair or paint their nails. Nowadays, there are salon products that are chemical-free and said to be safe for expectant mothers. Certain nail polish brands and plant-based hair dyes now have preggos rejoicing. Before you get too excited though, it is still advisable to get the go signal from your doctor first.
3. Go make-up shopping.
What better way to feel pretty than to play with make-up! Try out a new lipstick shade that is out of the ordinary for you, or buy that facial highlighter you’ve wanted to push that preggy glow even further. After you’ve had your fun, you can always wash it off.
4. Treat yourself to a massage.
Thank your lucky stars that pre-natal massages exist nowadays! Many salons now offer this service to sooth the aching bodies of expectant mothers, so take advantage of it. A great massage can do wonders for your physical aches and your worries.
5. Fix the nursery.
Being hands-on with fixing your baby’s future room can help you relax and definitely get you excited about the little bubba’s arrival. The best beauty secret for pregnant women is happiness—and this activity will definitely put a smile on your face!
REVIEW: Skin So Soft Whitening and Firming Hand and Body Lotion
Thursday, July 12
Follow my blog with Bloglovin
Avon has been known for its all time lotion favorites ever
since it landed the Philippines and for more than 30 years had captured the
hearts of many women of all ages.
I’ve been an avid lotion fan since then way back in high school and I must say I tend to get in touched with it on a daily basis.
The first time I got a grab on lotions was when I just
turned 11 as far as I remember but ravaged the thought of having to use it
again on my skin because of the greasy feel it has on me.
Now that I am 20-ish I can say lotions have greatly
revolutionized and have even offered great variants around the market for the
consumers to choose from thus, the cause of this blog post.
I personally love AVON’s SSS (Skin So Soft) array of
lotions. Ultra Moisturizing Lotion, Intensive Whitening Lotion and the
Whitening and Firming Lotion are amongst the ones I’ve tried. All were good
that one can’t get enough of ordering as soon as one bottle got emptied,
believe me I’m a self-confessed AVON Dealer/User.
Here is my review on AVON’s SSS Whitening and Firming HBL
AVON PRODUCT CAPTION: Get Silky, sensual skin that tempts
your loved ones to touch.
PROS: Non-greasy, moisturizing hand and body lotion, has the
firming effect as soon as applied, whitening can be observed on frequency of
use though, leaves the skin soft and smooth to feel and touch. Smells good and is
soft and sensual.
CONS: None.
TO USE: Apply generous amount to hands and body. Massage In
circular motion onto skin until dry.
NOTES: Item can be bought on AVON direct dealers or
stores only. This lotion contains ingredients known to whiten the skin and
improve skin’s firmness. With regular use, skin appears toned and looking
radiant.
AVON SSS HBL comes in four variants:
- Signature Silk Ultra Moisturization Lotion
- Soft and White Intensive Whitening Lotion
- Soft and Sensual Whitening and Firming Lotion
- Signature Silk Replenishing Body Lotion
RECOMMENDED? Definitely Yes.
Come and get your own.
Til Then,
Hashtag RIP Dolphy
Wednesday, July 11
The comedy king of the Philippines no other than Mr Pidol himself has passed away last night at exactly 8:43pm. As I was doing my nightly ritual half bath i was surprised to see my fiance read a text message from a common friend of ours which read 'patay na c dolphy' (Dolphy is dead).
To that i quickly instructed my brother to open the TV and watch for news for confirmation.
And it was it, CONFIRMED! The comedy king we all adore and respect had passed away to cardiac arrest.
He was 83. The one thing that really uttered out of my mouth were the words, "patay na jud c dolphy" (dolphy is really dead now.) and just like anybody else whose childhood went from the 90's i came to know of him as that old man on prime time TV with the name 'kevin cosme' in home along DA riles. Remembering the old times, my innocent laughs as a child and my affection for him and his family on that sitcom. I hope abscbn gets to pay tribute by airing the episodes.
I will surely miss him. Nonetheless, he has touched the lives of many Filipinos for decades.
he will be forever in my memories and that melody, 'home along DA riles, home along DA riles' keeps on buzzing in my ears just like an LSS song one cannot forget.
To Mang Kevin, Pidol, Mang Dolphy, May you rest in peace with the Lord God.
Thank you for the laughter. 'problema ay may remedy, kapag may konting comedy.' indeed.
Here is a statement of his son eric quizon which i got from twitter since it trended even worldwide.
