Mommy Pehpot and Mommy Levy’s Birthday Project Update

Less than two weeks to go and my excitement is killing me!

Today, my box from the US arrived!! yay!!! this box was filled with (OK half of it) 2nd hand baby clothes I bought (through my kumare) from Decatur..online and offline yard sale.. that’s the power of internet to you haha

We have sponsorssss! (yes take note of the S! haha) Say hello! and a huge thanks to these companies for supporting this cause:

Unilab is a trusted company when it comes to vitamins for kids and medicine for fever and so we asked them if they can provide Ceelin and Tiki Tiki for babies, Biogesic For infant and adults and they said YES! Thank you so much Unilab and to the person that made this sponsorship possible (waves at Roche!)

I have mentioned before, my partnership with Pampers(and the huge amount of diapers they gave me) inspired me (along with Please Be Careful birthday episode) to start this project but we didn’t stopped there.. Grace to be Born needs diaper and more than that. Knowing that Procter & Gamble being a household name for soap, shampoo, detergent (and of course diaper), we asked them to be a part of this project by sponsoring some of their products.. and it was a YES! Thank you P&G and to my fellow elbizen (Moe!).

Pascual Labs is very close to my heart… err, they were the one that made me famous LOL.. C-Lium ad? remember? hahaha

Grace to be Born houses pregnant women (serves as a temporary shelter for the unwed mothers and an orphanage for the children born there) and they encourage mothers to breastfeed their babies.. and we know that Pascual’s Pro-Lacta is the pioneer when it comes to malunggay tablet (helps in milk production), and Pascual Labs was very generous to provide some boxes of Pro-Lacta and some Lagundi bottles. Thank you Pascual Labs (and Diana..amishu!)

Blogger friends are very supportive too!

Play Stylist: What Women’s Perfume Do You Think These Hollywood Celebs Should Wear?

It’s red carpet season and that means we’re seeing not just the celebrities and their winning moments but their fashion choices as well. As our favorite celebs grace the red carpet at the Golden Globes, let’s play stylist and figure out what women’s perfume goes well with their gowns and dresses.

Cate Blanchett – Winner, Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture (Drama)

Always regal and sophisticated, Cate Blanchett won the best performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture for her role of Jeanette ‘Jasmine’ Francis in Blue Jasmine, a Woody Allen film. She’s one of the best dressed this season, wearing an elegant black lace dress over a skintone bodice by Armani Privé. The back of the dress has a low dip that accentuates her long spine. For a million dollar Hollywood star that exudes pure sophistication, we’re thinking Emporio Armani Diamonds for Women is the perfect perfume accessory. Emporio Armani Diamonds is created for a woman with grace and timeless beauty.

Jennifer Lawrence – Winner, Best Performance by an Actress In A Supporting Role in a Motion Picture

A beautiful face you love to see at the red carpet, Jennifer Lawrence is one humble and quirky Hollywood star who instantly rose to fame when she won the best actress award for Silver Linings Playbook at last year’s Oscar. She’s also popular for playing the role of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games movies. Although many fashion critics think J. Law’s gown by Dior is a miss this year, she’s still the perfect female star to wear Dior haute couture. While she’s currently Miss Dior’s endorser, we think she could give justice in wearing the playful and romantic Forever and Ever by Christian Dior for Women. After all, she planted a kiss on boyfriend Nicholas Hoult’s lips before accepting her award. Well that’s one romantic ever after for Jennifer.

Kerry Washington – Nominee, Best Performance by an Actress In A Television Series (Drama)

Even when pregnant, Kerry Washington never fails to walk on the red carpet with refined style. In fact, she never misses to be part of the best-dressed Hollywood stars. The actress nominee for her role in Scandal proves that she’s not only a beautiful face but a talented artist worthy of a nomination. A white custom-made Balenciaga dress donned Kerry Washington and we think L’eau de Chloe for Women would be a perfect perfume for the mom-to-be. L’eau de Chloe is a subtle, refreshing scent that’s mild – just perfect for a pregnant woman.

Sofia Vergara – Nominee, Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television
Who wouldn’t recognize this Colombian bombshell who’s not only drop-dead gorgeous with all those curves but downright funny, especially in her role in Modern Family? A nominee in this year’s Golden Globes, Sofia gave good justice to Zac Posen’s creation. The black, strapless ball gown, flawless hair and makeup, perfect complexion, her megawatt smile and her cleavage definitely dominated the red carpet. Sofia Vergara looks like a Latina princess, that’s why Love and Glamour by Jennifer Lopez is the right perfume choice for her. This alluring scent is dreamy, combining fruity and floral scents enclosed in a perfume bottle shaped in a woman’s body.
