5 Simple Things To Make You Feel Better

Being a stay at home for almost 15 years exposed me through a lot of problems, dilemma, and stress. Of course it’s all worth it but there are just time that you don’t really feel well. There are times when sadness kicks in and all you can think of is how you lost yourself for being a stay at home mom for so long. It happens to and I know it happens to you as well, so let me share with you my Feel Better Hacks, tried and tested!

5 Simple Things To Make You Feel Better

1. Pray. This is by far the most powerful make me feel better hack. No matter what your religion is, give yourself at least 5 minutes to talk to whom you believe is the most merciful being. Pray for mercy, ask for forgiveness, give thanks, and pray for strength.

I am born Catholic, reciting the Rosary really makes me feel better in a snap.

2. Take a bath. Take a longer than usual and warm bath. It helps if you have a hot shower. The sound of running water is very therapeutic and warm water is good for the circulation too. Deep condition your hair and use skin scrub. Cleaning your hair and body sometimes feels like stripping your self all the stress you feel. It really helps in keeping the mind calm and stress free.

3. Drink coffee or a cold drink. Drinking something more than just plain water keeps you refreshed. A really really cold water with a hint of mint can make you feel better in a snap. I buy my peppermint oil from Young Living.



4. Draw, Write, or Doodle. You don’t need a good bullpen to do this, grab the ballpen or pencil near you and start writing or doodling. I find drawing circles over and over again very therapeutic. And if you really really love writing, why don’t you start a blog? It really helps to get your thoughts out. It feels like you are talking to someone and not just yourself or your toddler. No idea how to start a blog? Here’s a very detailed guide: How To Start A Blog

5. Talk to someone. If there is no someone that you can talk to, talk to me on my FB page 🙂 I reply most of the times, specially if it is a mom needing help.

But if all else fails, diffuse an oil and sleep. A starter kit from Young Living already includes a diffuser and o10 kinds of oils. Let me know if you need help in buying, just send me a message on my Facebook Page: Mommy Blogger Pehpot

Althea Korea Big Beauty Blowout Haul

If it is Korean Skin Care, I’m in! And if it’s Korean Skin Care sale from Althea, SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

So here’s my haul from that sale along with how I plan to use it and how much I saved from it.

That much products is 2 small Althea boxes plus 1 big Althea box. Total cost is 6040 Peso from 10990. Here’s the breakdown:

  • Caolion toner  P1650
  • Caolion serum P1690
  • Caolion cream P2130
  • Caolion eye gel P1950
  • Cleome (the saem) toner P800
  • Cleome (the saem) essence P840
  • Cleome (the saem) cream P840

TOTAL: P9900 less P4950 (50% off)= P4950

P4950 plus P1090 (Caolion Premium Hot & Cool Pore Pack Duo, not discounted)

TOTAL COST: P6040 

Two sets of skin care brand and I saved almost 5000 Pesos. Ang saya di ba?

The Caolion set I am supposed to use kasooo I finally found a supplier for a brand that I have been dying to try. My skin no longer fits the age bracket of Laneige. I am old. And my skin requires mas mahal mas moisturize na products. Initially, I was eyeing Laneige Perfect Renew line but it was always out of stock at Althea. I decided taking my chance on Sulwahsoo because from what I’ve heard, this is the most appropriate for my age. Pero why not other brands?!? Eh bakit ba, loyal ako sa Amore Pacific, that’s the company behind Etude, Laneige, Sulwahsoo, and a lot more Korean Skin Care and Korean Make Up brands we know. So that’s the reason why I am giving away a complete set of Caolion.

The other brand, The Saem is for the Mister. He was also using Laneige pero ang hirap din humanap ng supplier! So when I saw this at Althea at nakasale naman sya, bumili na ako ng isang set. I am a sucker for sets. Ganyan talaga ako. I just can’t use other brands along with other brands. It’s my OCD talking. Pero pag naubos itong set na ito.. I might buy Sulwahsoo for him.. para terno na talaga kame. My OCD self will be happy!

Althea Korea does not only offer skin care brands but Korean make ups too! Feels like shopping in Korea minus the airfare! Sign up ka na>> Althea Korea Shopping.

 

 

Must Buy Make Up For Beginners

When I first learned about make up, I was overwhelmed! So many choices, so little money, so ugly face haha. I know nothing anything about make-up and skin care, tones and the likes. I wish Make Up for Beginners workshop is already a thing back then, wala sana ako masyadong naaksayang pera from buying too much products. Swerte nyo because, this kind of workshop is now a thing and it’s very affordable. And if you are planning to attend Sai Montes Makeup Artistry Basic Personal Makeup Workshop and wondering what are the Must Buy Make Up For Beginners, I am here to help you.

Must Buy Make Up For Beginners

Before I start the list, let me just remind you that before applying make up, your face should be clean and well moisturized.

Make Up Primer. You will need two types of primer, one for the face and one for the eyes (which also works for the eyebrow). Why will you need a primer? It will make everything last longer. Eyebrow will stay on fleek for the whole day.

Foundation. Sai Montes Makeup Artistry Basic Personal Makeup Workshop will discuss how to find the right foundation for you. If you are going to attend the workshop, I suggest skipping buying this. Of you are here just for the Must Buy Make Up For Beginners, knowing your skin type and if your face is acidic will help you buy the best shade of foundation for you. If your face is acidic, go 1-2 lighter shade.  Personally, I prefer BB cushion than foundation.

Loose Powder. This is a must, specially if you have oily skin. And you always have to bring one whenever you go. Oiliness (and dry skin) is next to ugliness, always remember that!

Eyebrow Make Up Kit. Everything is all about the eyebrows, it can make or break your look. What eyebrow make up brand to buy? I love Maybelline Fashion Brow Palette. It’s very cheap and it lasts really long (it’s been a year since I bought mine).

Mascara and eyeliner. These two must go together, all the time and specially if you have thin eyelashes or small eyes. If you will attend Sai Montes Makeup Artistry Basic Personal Makeup Workshop, she will teach you how to apply both and also how to apply false eyelashes.

Eyeshadow Palette. This is a must to enhance your eyes. And though I have no product recommendation, what I can tell you is stay away from eyeshadow with shimmer, not a good idea!

Lipstick. I suggest buying 3 shades, Nude, Pink and Red. Also, buy matte and not the one with shine. Why? With matte lipsticks, it’s like having two kinds, you can go matte as is. If you want shine, just apply lip gloss on top of it.

Make Up Remover. Yup, this is also a Must Buy Make Up For Beginners. Always remove your make up using a make up remover to ensure that all make up particles are removed from your face. Never ever skip this part because dirty face can lead to pimples.

Don’t spend too much on make-up ha, spend on your skin care routine. If your skin is really good, you won’t even need a foundation.

Should you buy make up brushes or not? You don’t have to for now. Most products that needs brush to be applied already included a brush for application.
