#KumareBloggers PR Appreciation Day

We often receive gifts, event invites and campaigns from PR companies (and the brand they’re handling). The trust they gave us is really overwhelming and we never had a chance to really thank them for that. So last December 8, we all took a day off (and put our mommy hats away) and braved the busy streets of Makati to give our thanks to the agencies that trusted the #KumareBloggers (or at least 3 of us). Here are the photos during the KumareBloggers PR Appreciation Day:

Soooo who are your newest Kumares?

#KumareBloggers is a group of mommy bloggers who love sharing ideas,information and happenings around the metro, like what the usual kumares do.

The group is founded by four well respected and seasoned bloggers, top food blogger Mommy Peachy; top mommy blogger Mommy Levy; most respected parenting blogger Mommy Badet and award winning mommy blogger Mommy Pehpot.

Alam nyo, sobrang tagal na namin kilala ang isa’t- isa. Since Entrecard days pa.. mga blog memes.. mga link exchanges chorva at mga panahong hindi pa uso ang blog events (syempre hindi makarelate dito ang mga new bloggers dahil panahon pa ito ng kopong kopong). But the marehan portion naganap last year when Peachy learned she’s pregnant with baby #2. Officially, magkukumare na kame with Twinkle!

And you know what happens during marehan portion di ba? Chika to the max.. and we realized that blogging is also like marehan.. may nakita kang product, iku kwento kay Kumare. May new event or may bagong bukas na resto, si Kumare agad ang unang nakakaalam. And si Kumare naman, mag ku kwento din sa mga iba pa nyang kumare. Mas credible pag pag galing kay Kumare ang chika.

We’re planning to expand/ include other bloggers din. Dahil nga marehan ito, of course, we’re going to look for bloggers who have the same passion as us (not necessarily mommy bloggers). Not necessarily na top blogger or award winning blogger but bloggers na kapanipaniwala ang mga blog posts. Basically, bloggers who writes and makes kwento from the heart!

Be updated sa mga kwento ng bago nyong mga kumare by visiting our #KumareBloggers Facebook Page. Maraming maraming kwento coming your way!

My Nanay’s Olay #BestBeautiful Story

Eksena sa ES Transport:

Si Madir, nakakipagtalo sa kondoktor…

“Nakita mo na nga puti buhok ko.. ayaw mo pa rin ako bigyan ng Senior discount*! Etong ID ko para maniwala ka!”

Anong saaaay nyo?!?

Ang bongga ni Madir di ba? Kahit pang white Christmas na ang hair, hindi pa rin mukhang senior..

Anong secret? Wala no, Olay lang yan..

She can’t live, leave home without moisturizers on her face and body.. nangangati daw sya eh.. Knowing she loves putting moisturizer on her face, I gave her the Olay set I got from Downy Timeless event.

Of course the difference in color is due to lightning.. ung first photo was taken sa apartment namin while the recent one is from my mansion. But look at her wrinkles! And the pekas!

She uses it once a day lang daw… sa umaga lang pag kaligo nya. And look at the dissappearing wrinkles after 3 monthsof use!

Eh sino nga mag aakala na senior citizen sya with disappearing wrinkles!

I buy Olay Regenerist from Watsons, sometimes from Lazada, pero minsan from Indonesia (ang mura dun e!)

How to use the Olay Regenerist?

Apply Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre- Essence after cleansing and toning (use Safeguard Dermasense for cleansing and Olay Toner for toning). How much to apply, one full dropper is enough for the whole face.
Apply Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti Aging Moisturizer.

Do it daily to see faster result.. si Mudra sa umaga lang nya ginagawa eh.. and she’s not used to toning.

*As provided in our Constitution, the state is duty-bound to recognize the rights of senior citizens by providing support though various social systems. Thus, senior citizens are granted benefits and privileges that range from 20% discount and VAT exemption to mandatory membership in the government’s healthcare system, Philhealth.

Plants and Gardening Supplies From Tabang Exit Bulacan

It’s mommy’s time to ask something from our Santa… I want plants! Cypress tree.. succulents.. orchids.. bamboo.. more flowering plants and more plants!

Last weekend, since weekend birthday ni Mother Earth, naglibot kame sa may Tabang Guguinto to look for plants for my garden. Si Mother Earth talaga ang mahilig sa plants.. green hand sya, hindi lang basta green thumb. Kahit ano pa yan, kahit itapon lang nya, tumutubo. Nagtapon sya ng buto ng mangga doon sa dati namin tinitirhan, ayun malapit na mamunga!

If you have been to that side of Bulacan, you’d know that after Tabang exit (dun sa bayaran part ha), kabi- kabila na ang mga tindahan ng halaman. You can buy gardening and landscaping supplies there. Landscaped trees, bonsai plants, flowering plants, pebbles and all kinds of grass (bermuda grass, frog grass, korean grass). Pero may secret pala ang Bulacan.. behind those stores along the highway is a subdivision where you can buy cheaper landscaping supplies and plants. Almost all houses inside that village have their own gardening business.

Finding that “secret garden” is easy.. Here’s a map!

CLUE: Look for Puregold Guiguinto and before Puregold, turn right and voila!

Our first stop was RG Plant Nursery. Sila lang may orchids eh. My mom insist on buying orchids for my living room. We’re looking for butterfly orchids. Unfortunately, they only have dendrobium that time and most are not flowering. Gusto nga ni Mother Earth mapuno ng bulaklak ang bahay ko eh. Dendrodium was only 80 Pesos per pot.

Dendrobium Orchids from Tabang, Guiguinto, Bulacan for only 80 Pesos per pot

Anthurium all year round flower for only 350 Pesos per pot

We opted for anthurium which cost a bit higer (350 Pesos each!). It never stops blooming naman daw.. sooo sulit na din! Now, I have a supply of fresh flowers everyday!

I also want to buy money tree but it is so expensive (300 Pesos per pot)!! Specially the one that comes from Thailand (2000 Pesos per pot!).

Since I really want some cypress trees, we asked around and found a supplier, 1500 per plant (5-6 feet). Pag iipunan ko yan! This one naman is cheaper, around 300-400 yata:

And we found a supplier for Bamboo Poles. Eh di ba I want some bamboo poles around my house. Each pot is 300 Pesos with 2 poles each. According to the gardener, I will need 2-3 pots per meter. The height of the bamboo pole is 7-8 feet (just my estimate). Planting of the bamboos are free if you’ll buy from them buuut delivery is around 2000 to 3000 Pesos. Pag- iipunan ko din to!

Our last stop was the nursery beside the church. Sa kanila lang ako nakita ng Poinsettia and other flowering plants.

Poinsettia from Tabang, Guguinto, Bulacan Gardens for only 100 Pesos per pot

Succulents for 35 Pesos

Citronella for 35 Pesos each pot

Ang dami kong gustong bilhin doon but since our car space is limited, uunahin ko na bumili ng Hilux..jooooke laaaang!

Definitely, babalik kame dito to buy more plants.. I want Poinsettia!!

Shout out to Filipina Explorer for her blog post which leads us to this gardening haven and to her directions on how to go there! Muaaaah! Thanks so much!!
