Althea Korea Haul: Chinese New Year P2000 Promo Code

Althea Korea is my SM for skin care routine and make ups too! SM like, they got it all for me jingle. And every time I check Altthea Korea, I can’t help but add one or more items on my wishlist or cart. Pwede na ako magtayo ng dresser using my Althea boxes! haha

Imagine my delight when I see this on my email:

Hala syaaaa! DISCOUNT!

Teka, teka, teka, puno pa lahat ng Laneige ko!! Perooo sayang discount mga bes. Well, I see no reason not to buy more skin care products. Stock na din for the whole year di ba?

The discount is one time use lang, I mean, a costumer can only avail once. Ngek. My whole routine is 5k plus. Don’t judge, this usually last for more than 3 months. What to do? What to do? Any promonatics would know, create another account!

So, I made another account using my husband’s details. Kunyari regalo niya sa akin yun. And I got as much as 4k discounts for my beauty products! Ang saya lang.

Althea Korea

Althea Korea is an online store for everything Korean beauty. They have brands like Laneige, Tony Moly, Etude House, InnisFree and Wlab. Lab na lab ko mga W.Lab make up products. I love the packaging and of course bec it is effective.

All items from Althea Korea is directly shipped from KOREA and delivery usually takes 7 days to 15 days. There are times na medyo napatagal but not longer than 2 weeks naman.

If you are curious about the Korean Skin Care Routine, you can check out my blog posts:

Aside from my skin care products, I also bought some make up from my new favorite Korean Make Up brand: W.Lab. This will be first time to try highlighter and shading products. That base primer from W.Lab is my favorite primer so far. I am really happy with my purchases, not to mention the huge discount I got! hehe

Buuut of all these, dito ko napatalon:

I only ordered Laneige Water Bank Moisture Cream pero look what I got! I got a Water Bank Moisture Cream Set which comes with trial packs of Refiner, Emulsiom and Eye Gel. Essence na lang kulang eh.

May beauty boxes na rin ang Althea Korea. I recently bought the Homme box for the mister.. which I am still contemplating if I should make a video unboxing or not. I just made a video review of Kocostar Hair Mask that I bought from a recent promo.

Pagod pa ang lola nyo, kailangan ng beauty rest.

OPPO F1s: Day In The Life Of Mommy Pehpot

After so many years, I finally had the courage to go to a dentist. It was hard looking for a dentist di ba? I mean, yung someone that can make you feel NOT nervous about your situation and someone that will not judge you just because all your teeth need some serious attention. And so recently, I found the dentist that I am looking for.

I had a root canal early last week. Ang balik ko dapat Monday pa but the antibiotics I was given was not working, namaga mukha ko mga bes. Ang hirap mag blush on! Hindi ko mapantay. I decided to go back to my dentist. My dentist schedule on that clinic is MWF but she mentioned last year that by 2017, she will be transferred to another branch during Fridays. Sooo it was a Friday and without even calling, I went straight to the clinic’s other branch (the one in front Rizal Highschool).

Mali pala ako. I should have confirmed first. Andun pa rin si Doc sa kabilang clinic. So what can I do here at the center of Pasig? Babalik ba ako ng C Raymundo? Or diretso na ako sa Palatiw since I need to take care of Marius’ baptismal. Pero tekaaaaa. Since I am already here at the heart of Pasig, bakit hindi na lang ako sa Immaculate Concepcion magpabinyag? Come to think of it, my first born was baptized here.

(insert Selfie Panorama shot here with church background if I am using OPPO F1s Selfie Expert)

So, yeah, at that instant, nag decide na ako. Atsaka, para ma iselyo na, si Marius na talaga dapat bunso (my husband jokingly objects, JOKE lang talaga hahaha). From Rizal High School to Immaculate Concepcion Church is a just a short walk. Sayang naman pera kung mag tricycle pa ako no. Isa pa, this is a good time to check out one of the oldest bakery in the Philippines, Panaderia Dimas-Alang. Also, alam ko may Japan Surplus Store along the road, might as well check that out. After dito saka na lang babalik sa clinic ko.

First stop, Panaderia Dimas-Alang where I bought ensyamada and monay. Then to that Japan Surplus store along the way. It’s fun entering Japan Surplus store di ba? On that particular store, I found Future Card Buddyfight trading cards, 300 pesos lang! Eh kaso, my kids are not into Buddyfight anymore, concentrate na daw sila sa Yugi-Oh Trading Cards. Huhu naubusan ng space ang camera ko.. sana napicturan ko yung Panaderia at Surplus shop.

Sabi ni ateng receptionist, meron din daw Yugi-Oh cards paminsan, so I left my number and pestered her to call me pag meron.

While walking, I can smell the ensaymada inside the brown paper bag, gutom na ako mga bes. Which reminds me to bring an ecobag the next time I went to this area of Pasig again. Along the way, may nakita ako tindahan ng mga Carter’s overrun pajamas. Halaaa, wala sa budget ito! But the pajamas are so cheap! I can’t help but buy. These ones are being sold at SM for 150 Pesos each kaya.

Medyo napatagal ako sa pagpili ng pajamas. I want matching pjs for Marius and Sofi, also for Marius and Chico. But it was worth it. Sulit naman ang pagod at init. Nakalimutan ko mag sun screen lotion!

I was about to cross, when I noticed a posh looking restaurant. Red bricks and all. Ang ganda, sabi ko, mukhang pizza restaurant, at gutom na ako. I want Pizza! Pagpasok ko, Greenwich pala! Ganun na ako katagal hindi napapasok ng Greenwich? Parang nasa ibang pizza universe ako! I ordered lasagna and eat with much gusto. Masasrap naman talaga Lasagna ng Greenwich atsaka gutom talaga ako no. Gusto ko sana mag VLOG here, kase nga ang ganda talaga sa loob kaso nga ubos na memory ng phone ko atsaka hampanget ng quality pag sa loob na ilaw lang 🙁

So after finishin my Lasagna, punta na ako sa simbahan where I got the requirements for baptismal. Meron na palang ganun ngayon, kung hindi ka sa Parish mo papa binyag, you need to secure a permit. And may bayad din! Sa Parish ng Baranggay ko, 330 ang pinabayad sa akin.

Nag inquire na din ako for house blessing. Sabay-sabaw na lahat. Binyag, birthday at blessing ng bahay. Gusto ko rin sana isabay ang kasal, kaso K yun eh, hindi B hahaha.

After securing the permit, pumunta na ako dun sa clinic where my dentist is. Ang ending, I need to take a stronger antibiotics for my root canal. Clyndamycin, mahal sya mga bes! And 3 times a day pa. Tooth infection should be taken seriously. There is a risk na mapunta sa brain ang infection or sa heart. Sabi nga sa Pretty Little Liars, Season 4, Episode 17: Dentist to Hannah: “Tooth decay leads to heart disease, Hanna.”

Pagdating ko sa bahay, gutom na naman ako. In fairness, masarap ang ensaymada sa Panaderia Dimas-Alang.

Friday nga ito nangyari, January 20, birthday ni Kieth at 11 months ni Baby Marius. So after lunch, kaunting pahinga, larga na naman. Ang agenda, Tom’s World at dinner sa Max’s sa SM City East Ortigas.

(insert complete family photo here if I am using OPPO F1s Selfie Expert that has 16 MP front Camera)

(insert a really clear and good light shot of Marius if only I am using OPPO F1s)

And that’s how my day went. Mas masaya sana kung marami photo. Mas lalong mas masaya kung may video pa. At mas lalong lalong masaya kung ang gamit kong phone ay OPPO F1s.

OPPO F1s camera is more than enough reason to wish for OPPO F1s. The main feature is the front camera which is 16MP and with F/2.0 apperture. Makes low light photography a thing of the past. Another reason why I would want an OPPO F1s in my life and to use in my everyday life is the additional memory card slot which can expand the phone’s memory to 128GB.

OPPO F1s customizable fingerprint-activated app launch is also one of the reasons (many many reasons haha) why I need this mobile phone in my life. Imagine being able to open the app that I want with just one touch. My thumb would go for my camera. Index for my email. Middle finger for Facebook. Hmmm what else? It’s super nice!

OPPO F1s has many more features that I like (and I know you will like it too). You may check here for more details about OPPO F1s: http://www.oppo.com/en/smartphone-f1s

2017 Best Planner For A Mommy

Just like last year, my heart is set on the Starbucks 2017 Planner. I am just contemplating which one to get, the coffee stains or the blue mermaid. I am sure I want the regular sized one because there is just so much I need to jot down. Also, for 2017, I promised myself that I will try as much as possible to use less. I am using 4 planners/ notebook right now and hopefully I can cut it by half next year. Sooo sticker season here I come!

And then CBTL sent me a planner and I was in love! The Giving Journal is so fitting to how I want my 2017 to be. You know, having 2016 as year of focus, 2017 is all about giving. And the inside of The Giving Journal is LOVE in every pages! Watch my video below to see what I mean:

The black and white monthly art work is just what I need to inspire me. I have total control of what color to put on it. The Coffee Bean Tea & Leaf The Giving Journal 2017 is coloring book + inspirational book+ planner + motivational book all rolled into one!

The only reason I could think of why I am not 100% on this planner is.. it’s not that pretty on the outside..

Starbucks Planner! Initial plan is to get coffee stain and blue mermaid then use coffee stain planner on blue mermaid pouch. During my unboxing, I realized it’s not possible. Hindi Bagay! I am more inclined to use the blue mermaid. The artworks inside is super pretty!! I could just sit, have my frappe and stare on it all day. And not to mention the paper which is super nice to write on.

Usability wise, it is usable but it lacks depth. If you know what I mean. But it is hard for me to just say no to this planner bec I have been using SB planner for years na..

And so I though mag mini mini mini mo lang ako sa CBTL and SB… then Mommy Mundo Mom 24/7 came! Jusmiyoooooo Naloloka na ako sa planner confusion!

This is my first time to a Mommy Mundo Planner.. actually last October I was contemplating on getting one for 2017. I just feel like MOM 24/7 is the perfect planner for mommies knowing na it comes from Mommy Mundo who knows everything about being a mom. Gets nyo? Hindi? You’ll get it once you get to know Janice of Mommy Mundo. Parang everything is covered on this planner. AT hindi nga ako nagkamali! This is really is the perfect planner for moms!

So yeah, back to my dilemma, I think I will be using Mommy Mundo planner for my mommy side and for my enrichment as individual, The CBTL The Giving Journal is the perfect planner for me. Sorry SB, crush talaga kita pero ikaw yung tipo ng hanggang crush lang, pang pedestal lang, hindi pang kasalan.
