Christmas 2019 Wish Gift List

I am trying to complete Mommy Levy 100 Blog Ideas and for Day 3, it says to share something about yourself. I actually don’t know what to share since my life is kinda an open book, or open youtube channel. What is it that you would still want to know about me? I can’t think of any! A quick glance (ok about 30 minutes haha) on my Facebook mommy group (please join if you are a Pinay mom, look for Mommy Blogger Pehpot MOMMY CLUB), and I know what I can share with you.

Something about me: Every January, I try to remind myself to start making plans for Christmas and start listing people and gift ideas.. more often than not, or actually every year, I never got the chance to. I always end up rushing my shopping and at least forget two or 3 persons. So this year, I am sharing with you my list so that I won’t forget.

Christmas 2019 Wish Gift List

Family includes my immediate family and my relatives. So far, from the past years, I have managed to perfect this list. The main reason is, we only give gifts to kids and oldies, not everyone in the family. This year, I will be trying to get everyone something (kahit mug or medyas lang!).

Friends list includes my closest friends and their kids and of course my godchildren. Hopefully this year I will be able to deliver all gifts. From past experiences, some of the gifts I prepared ends up in our storage area.

Work related list includes people I (and the Kumare Bloggers) have worked with this year. Last year, we made a lot of blunders and we were in a hurry. This year, I want it to be more personal and slow pacing. As early as now, I am already planning our route. Hear that Peachy, Badet, and Levy! haha

School list is basically teachers, close classmates, clinic, and service. Back when my kids were still studying in a smaller school, I used to give gifts to everyone because I know everyone. With the school’s size, it’s easy to be friends with everyone. Now, the kids are going to a much much bigger school, my only interaction is with the teacher and the clinic.. maybe this year I can extend it with a simple meryenda for each department. What do you think?

Community. This is the list that usually gets the least attention and most often than not, the list where I usually do the last minute Christmas shopping. I want to be more organized than that! This list includes our health care providers (Pedia, OB, and Dentist) as well as their secretaries. This list also includes personnels here in our village.

You might be wondering why it was categorized as such. It’s not about the budget but just to be organized and easier to track. So there you have it, this is something about me that I am sharing to you today.

My Daily Skin Care Routine

Secret to a good looking skin? Consistent skin care routine! Meaning, having a morning skin care routine and evening skin care routine. I have learned that after years and years of doing the 10 Steps Korean Skin Care Routine. Product brands matter too and skin age. The older you get, the more care you need to give to your skin.

Now that I am 35+ my skin care routine varies but this are the constants: facial wash, toner, moisturizer, and sun screen. Right now, these are the brands that I am using:

Daytime Skin Care Routine products used:

Facial wash: Kojic Soap
Toner: Thayer’s Witch Hazel
Ampoule: Deoproce Snail Whitening Ampoule
Moisturizer: Deoproce Alove Vera
Sunscreen: Biore Whitening Sunscreen or Belo Tinted Sunscreen

Nighttime Skin Care Routine products used:

Facial wash: Kojic Soap
Toner: Thayer’s Witch Hazel
Ampoule: Deoproce Snail Whitening Ampoule
Moisturizer: Deoproce Snail Repair Whitening Cream

10 Tips To Achieve the Korean Skin Glow even without the 10 Steps Korean Skin Care Routine:

Never sleep with dirty face, even if you are dead tired, cleanse and moisturize.
Don’t skip on sunscreen lotion, specially on your face.
Use a toner that is alcohol free.
Drink plenty of water.
Don’t skip the morning routine.
Use facial scrub once a week.
Facial mask is a must every after facial scrub.
Order of exfoliation: facial wash> facial scrub> toner> mask> moisturizer.
Order of creams is from thinnest to thickest consistency.
Massage your face at least 10 seconds in the morning and in the evening while doing your skin care routine.

Overwhelmed? Stick to wash>toner>moisturizer for evening routine, just add sunscreen for your morning routine. SUNSCREEN lotion is your face’s bff, never forget that!

5 Reasons Why I Love HYDRAFACIAL

For someone who loves skin care so much, facial should not be a big deal no? Well, not for me. I am afraid to explore that area. In fact, I often turn down invites for me to try a facial (save for a few or just one that I said yes). I love giving away Spa GCs that I got, specially if it involves a facial. I am not really sure why but maybe because I feel like it would just be a waste of time and the results won’t be what I expected it would be.

But in the end, my curiosity got me. I am not the kind of person who would travel to Makati just to get a facial, but I did. This facial really got me, as I heard that somewhere in the world, this kind of facial is done every 15 seconds. Do the math. But that’s really a lot and that was just last year. I’m guessing this year, it’s every 5 seconds. Is it really that good? IT IS.

Actually, it’s not just a facial, it’s HydraFacial. Is it your first time to hear about it? Let me tell you more about it by giving you the 5 reasons why I love it. Which is also the reasons why I have plans on doing this on a monthly basis. Hear me out!

5 Reasons Why I Love HydraFacial

HydraFacial is non invasive and is pain- free, meaning it does not go beyond your skin. It does not prick and not at all painful to the skin. If you have stubborn black heads or white heads, you know how it feel when they prick that. With HydraFacial, pricking is history. As the name suggests, it uses hydra or water (and water) in high speed to exfoliate the skin. Watch the video to see how much dirt it removed from my skin without any pain!

HydraFacial gives you the best skin of your life in less than an hour. The treatment includes 3 steps procedures: cleansing, exfoliating, infusing. After the 3 steps, skin is treated with LED Light Therapy. And all those steps in just less than an hour.

HydraFacial has no side effect and little downtime. After the procedure, you are good to go! From my experience, there really is no downtime. My face is not red, not swollen, no pain! I can resume my activities right after HydraFacial. Of course, you need to be extra careful with sun exposure, but every skin enthusiast and skin loving beauty knows that naman di ba? Sun can do great damages to your skin.

HydraFacial is best for all skin types. You know there are facial that is not advised for oily skin or facials that are only for specific skin types. HydraFacial caters to all skin types as the booster are tailored for what the skin needs that moment. You have fine lines and wrinkles? Go for it! Skin texture? Brown spots? Dry skin? Enlarged pores, HydraFcial is for Everyone!
