TMNT Out Of The Shadows Action Figures: Leonardo & Splinter

Two years since the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, our favorite turtles are back in the big screen! Together with Master Splinter, April, Vern and a new comer: the hockey-masked vigilante, Casey Jones they’re in for bigger battles at the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Out Of The Shadows movie.

Of course we can expect a an upgraded version of our favorite TMNT characters and the newest member of Out Of The Shadows. Richprime Global Inc brings to the Philippines the TMNT Out Of The Shadows action figures. And we were given two action figures to review!

Personally, I love the Splinter action figure. The rubber is really soft! It’s like a real clothes and initially I thought it was removable. It’s not fixed on the body of Splinter. Most of Leonardo’s body are movable but it was the head that I was worried about. It can be removed easily! Word of precaution, do not let kids below 5 years old play with it. They might swallow the head.

Please watch the video we made for these toys.

TMNT Out of the Shadows Action Figures Collection includes:

Leonardo (the one we got)
Donatello
Raphael
Michelangelo
Splinter
Leonardo in Stealth Disguise
Michelangelo in Pirate Costume
Raphael in Wingsuit
Casey Jones (newcomer!)
The Shredder
Foot Soldier
Bebop
Rocksteady
Kraang

And you can buy your favorite TMNT Out of the Shadows Action figure at your favorite toy stores nationwide!

Belo Baby Review + Giveaway (CLOSED)

We’ve been using Belo Baby products since I attended the Belo Baby launch last April. That’s more than a month of using na di ba and I have nothing but praises for Belo Baby.

For bath time, we use the Belo Baby hair and body wash. Marius was just 6 weeks when we started using it. Hindi naman ako nag dalawang isip to use Belo Baby for Marius since I know it is crafted with care for the most delicate skin, for the most meticulous moms. Belo were very careful in choosing what ingredients to put on their product. And because of its ingredients, hindi sya drying sa skin ni baby kahit araw araw pa gamitin.

Please watch our Belo Baby Review video taken last May 20…

Belo Baby Review

Belo Baby Hair and Body Wash can be bought online or offline for 219.75 Pesos. We’ve been using it almost everyday since first week of April and hindi pa naman sya nauubos. Hindi lang safe, gentle and 100% certified natural ingredient and Belo Baby, sulit pa.

His bath time routine also includes massage. Isa sa mga favorite activity ni Marius to eh. He really enjoys massage time. And for this bonding activity, we use Belo Baby Face and Body Lotion. I really love the faint smell it leaves on Marius skin (ganoon din sa Hair and Body Wash). I am guessing it’s the sweet almond oil that contributes to the fragrance.

I also give Marius a massage before sleeping to soothe him.

Mas madaling maubos ang lotion since we use it 1-2x a day. Belo Baby Face and Body lotion is P224.75

5 Things About Baby Skin That You Need To Know

I am very excited to share with you the 5 Things About Baby Skin That You Need To Know. To be honest, I didn’t know most of it until a few days ago during the launch of Belo Baby. I know I still need to learn a lot about babies and kids pero akala ko when it comes to caring for a baby, alam ko na lahat. When it comes to baby skin care, kaunti lang pala alam ko.

#1 Baby Skin is not like the adult skin

Baby skin is not fully developed unlike the skin of the adult. Baby’s skin is 20-30% thinner than the skin of the adults. Do you know the thinnest part of your skin? It’s the skin under your eyes. Just imagine how thin a baby’s skin is.

Baby skin is different from adult skin not just on the structure but also how the skin functions.

#2 Baby Skin is not as effective temperature regulator

One of the difference between the adult of the skin and baby skin is the ability to regulate temperature. Baby skin is not as effective when it comes to regulating the temperature. And because of that, baby is more susceptible to over heating or becoming too cold.

#3 Baby Skin is more prone to dry skin

Baby skin is more prone to dry skin because of its structure. Baby skin has less Natural Moisturizing Factor molecules that keeps the cells hydrated making the skin less capable of retaining moisture.

To keep the baby skin well moisturized, use baby lotion as often as possible, specially after taking a bath.

#4 Baby skin does not need to be washed often

Bathing can actually remove the skin’s natural oil and baby’s skin does not produce that much natural oil. Bathing often can lead to baby skin dryness.

Since baby skin does not need to be washed often, make everything bathing activity counts with your baby.

#5 Baby skin absorbs easily

Baby skin has fewer lipids (fats). Lipids serves as the solid barrier of the skin. This is one of the reason why baby’s skin is very sensitive. Their skin does not have an effective defense against damage. Given that, the skin of baby easily absorbs any thing we put onto it. When using any product for the baby, always make sure that it is safe for your baby.

Belo Baby Launch

When it comes to baby products that is perfectly safe to use for babies, Belo recently launched their new product line, the Belo Baby.
