Nature’s Wonders Now in New pH Care Naturals

Got this bathroom stash a few days ago.. surprised to see the PP initials on the box! I really anything personalized.. PP for Pehpot Pineda.

What’s inside the box?

The newest from the most trusted intimate care brand, pH Care: pH Care Naturals!

pH Care brings to us the wonder of nature with pH Care Naturals.

pH Care Naturals Papaya is specially infused with papaya extract, nature’s best kept whitening secret, that can safely whiten the bikini area in as early as 14 days. And since it is natural, I think I can use this even though I am pregnant.

pH Care Naturals Guava contains guava leaf extract, an active ingredient known and proven over generation to cleanse and provide natural anti- bacterial protection. This is also something I can use to make my life less stressful down there. Pregnancy cause me a lot of itch down there, to much sweat and friction according to my OB. I am hoping pH Care Naturals Guava can lessen the itch with it anti bacterial protection.

What I love most about these products are the smell, both are sweet smelling.. ang bangoooo! Specially the Papaya variant. Amoy pa lang fresh na fresh na!

Grandma El’s Baby Products Line

I got these products a few months ago.. pero sabi ko.. how can I post this eh wala naman akong baby. You know, it’s hard to write about a product that you don’t actually use or you won’t even use… Pero ayun nga, mga few days yata after receiving this, may good news na.. Baby #5 is coming!

So I consider these products as my baby’s first gift!

Grandma El’s is a special baby care formula from New York. Here’s how Grandma El’s started in the US:

It all began in 1972 when a renowned skin care specialist and cosmetic chemist, Robert Posner, created a special formula that was used to heal patients with bedsores and other wounds in over 150 hospitals and nursing homes in New York. Decades later, his son Jonathan Posner saw the need for a truly safe and effective diaper rash product, so he took the special formula and started Grandma El’s. In just ten years, the brand has grown to offer a specialized line of baby products such as the Diaper Rash Ointment, Gentle Baby Lotion, Gentle Baby Shampoo, and Gentle Baby Wash, which are available in top retail establishments all over the world.

Grandma El’s products are safe and effective and their formulation does not contain parabens or presevatives. They only use natural oils to give that natural, mild and fresh fragrance.

I’ll definitely try Grandma El’s products for Baby #5.

Grandma El’s offers not just prevention and remedy, but a whole line of products you can trust as you raise your little ones, a brand that offers nothing but the best, a partner whose care will always be there.

Grandma El’s Products are available at Robinson’s Supermarkets, Landmark, Market! Market!, Metro Gaisano, and Babyland. Online, they are available at Lazada, Cudsly and Babies to Toddlers. Standard Retail Price for each product is Php 465.00.

Solid Wood Furniture in Sta Rosa- Tagaytay Road

Buying made to order solid wood furniture is overwhelming pala. Nakakatuwa na in a way nakakakaba. Para kang nakipag syota pero ramdam mo na pang kasalan na yun.. pang forever na. Yan ung na feel ko when we bought some solid wod furniture along Sta Rosa- Tagaytay Road.

Ang solid wood furniture kase pang matagalan na. Hindi na ito ung mga Sanyang brands na hindi man lang tumatagal ng 5 years. Hind ito yung mga mumurahing furniture sa malls na within a year may bakbak na. This is SOLID WOOD.. maybe not as hard as narra or molave but these are real wood and not compressed ones.

Mas lamang syempre ang excitement. This is it na talaga! Magkakabahay na kame for real!

Before our buying “spree” picnic muna sa Picnic Grove becuase Sati likes it that way, pero sa totoo lang, tipid mode lang sa almusal kaya pumayag ako (although my intestines are asking for Antonio’s! haha)

OK pala sa Picnic Grove no… last time kase we were there, parang ang gulo gulo..puro lamesa lang ang nakita ko noon at sobrang hangin. Ang gusto namin ni Sati ung picnic talaga, maglalatag ka ng banig at may dalang basket, ganyang peg. In fair, there is really a place for pegs like that. The grass area is located near the souvenir shops. Medyo challening bumababa sa picnic area and maineet so better be there before 8 AM!

We enjoyed our picnic naman and the kids had fun rolling down the slopes and blowing bubbles (tipid tip: magbaon kayo ng sariling bubbles nyo, OK naman bumili sa mga tindero pero sayang pera.. yung mga tinda nila mura nga pero madali din masira).

Picnic Grove Tagaytay entrance fee is 50 Pesos and Parking is 30 Pesos.. for cottages, rent ranges from 150 to 300 PhP. By the way, the comfort room is OK ha.. not sparkling clean but usable.

Quick stop at Antonio’s (ensaymada!!!) after our picnic then off to the wood furniture stores along Sta Rosa- Tagaytay Road. A few weeks ago nag canvass na kame dito and found only one store that offers upholstered headboard, so dun na muna kame dumiretso sa kanila. Pero sa totoo lang, gusto ko pa rin talaga mag ikot ikot muna at magtanong tanong before deciding kaso Celyn of ABJ Wood Carvings and Antiques is very accommodating. And not only that, she really knows a lot about wood furniture. Hindi na kame nag aksaya ng panahon at sa kanila na kame umorder.

Off limits sa camera ang loob ng shop (photo from outside lang yan, marami pa sa loob) nila so I can’t really show you their works but it’s really good. Maganda ang finish nila and designs. Since she really knows about their business hindi ako nahirapan i discuss sa kanya yung mga gusto ko at limitations ko.

Types of Wood Used In Furniture

Gusto talaga namin Mahoganoy since matibay ang klase ng wood na ito di ba. But Celyn said Gmelina is better than Mahogany in terms of treatment. Ang Mahagonay daw nag bubukbok kahit i treat unlike Gmelina. Other woods used in making solid wood furniture aside from Mahaogany and Gmelina are Acacia, Tangili, Ipil, Narra and Molave. BJ Wood Carvings and Antiques only offers furniture made from Gmelina, Mahogany and Acacia.

Price of Solid Wood Furniture Along Sta Rosa- Tagaytay Road

Here’s the breakdown of the furniture (using Gmelina) we ordered and their respective prices:

Queen size bed with upholstered headboard: 18000 PhP including 2 inch thick upholstery on headboard, leatherette using Uratex foam with diamond design
L shape Sofa, 84 inches by 72 inches: 18000 PhP, Japanese inspired design
Day Bed with pull out (30 x 72 and 30 x 60): 15000 PhP

ABJ Wood Carvings and Antiques Payment Terms & Delivery

Delivery is usually one week per furniture pero nakiusap kame na sana mas mapaaga pa nila.. susubukan daw since may mga nauna pa na orders sa amin. Down-payment is only 10% of the total amount and the remaining balance can be paid upon delivery of the products.

Delivery fee is around 2000- 3000 but since we bought 3 furniture, they waive the delivery fee.

I will post photos of the finished products as soon as it arrives on our new doorsteps. Hopefully by 2nd week of October.
