#UnnieTalk: K-Drama, She Was Pretty

Leave a Comment

Okay, I never really understood the K-Drama and this whole K-Pop shebang - how almost everyone in the world loves K-Pop. Even that's an understatement. Every time I hear a new K-pop band having concerts in Hong Kong and Manila, I'm always amazed by the fanbase. It's crazy. Hollywood style but Asian.

What's in My LV Cosmetic Pouch?

I recently changed my makeup kit and most of the items in it cos I have been putting minimal makeup in the past years. I ditched the brow powder as I had my brows done for that literal "woke u like this" brows/look.

After what feels like a lifetime, I’m trying to blog again. Let’s see if I can fully commit myself to being a blogger again. But trust me, I have been itching to write. For years.

Mother-K Breastmilk Storage Bags

Leave a Comment
The second brand of breastmilk bag that I have tried is from Mother-K. I noticed that this breastmilk  bag is usually on the Top 3 of breastfeeding mothers' favourite breastmilk bags here in the Philippines. It's a Korean brand and I have been obsessed with baby stuff from Korea. I just think they're well-thought of.

Mother-K can store up to 7oz of breastmilk. It has double zips to ensure no leaking. And it also has a color indicator to determine whether the milk is too cold or too warm.


Skincare During Pregnancy

Leave a Comment
There were a lot of stuff I couldn't use when I was pregnant. First off, I basically couldn't use 99% of my skin care because they all had whitening properties which is a no-no for pregnant women. I also had to make sure the ingredients didn't have paraben etc etc. Good thing, I didn't really break out during my pregnancy so I didn't use much. I just mainly washed my face with water regularly.

But on day when I had to put makeup, I used Bioderma micellar water toremove my makeup and Bioré's foam facial wash.


The two products above are safe for pregnant women and they have kept my face clean! Of course, I still used them in moderation and I hardly wore makeup when I was pregnant except for filing in my brows.

You're growing a human being inside of you so you better make sure of the products that you use because they are being absorbed by the unborn baby.

Mommy Diaries: Baby Shusher - The Sleep Miracle

1 comment
One of the difficulties of taking care of a baby is pacifying them or stopping them from crying. Since they still can't talk, it's pretty much a trial and error scenario on what to do with your baby to calm them down. Add the fact that they sometimes cry non-stop because they are unable to catch their sleep.

When my baby had her newborn shoot (at 2 weeks old), we were wondering how the photographers would make them sleep. They had different sounds all over the place and we kept no hearing this loud human shush from nowhere. It wasn't the photographer shushing my baby to sleep. Then we saw this rocket-shaped like thing on the floor.

The next thing I knew, I was searching where to purchase one.


Baby Shusher - The Sleep Miracle makes a human shush sound that calms your crying baby and puts them to sleep. It might sound too good to be true but it actually works. Newborn photographers use this to help them keep the baby asleep while shooting.


It has two cycles: 15minutes and 30 minutes. Twist to turn on the Baby Shusher and twist the bottom to adjust the volume. Mak sure that the shutter is placed near the baby or that it's a sound going to your baby's ear instead of a sound far away from your baby. Your baby might think of it as a sound part of the surrounding.


That's my baby sound asleep because of Baby Shusher. She was 1 and a half month old at that time. We still use the Baby Shusher until now and we even bring it along with us when we go out. There's just less crying with Baby Shusher.

Baby Shusher is available at facebook.com/MilkinMommiesPH or on Instagram (@MilkinMommies).

Introducing the New Beauty Trend: The #MakeITHappen Attitude and the ‘Maker’ Mindset*

Maybelline New York partners with 10 inspiring Filipinas as they share their #makeithappen stories

Manila, 2017- Today’s young Filipinas are more empowered than ever. They express themselves stronger than ever – whether in beauty, in fashion, even in their thoughts. They know what they want and how to be in control, and sometimes, the only thing that they need is a dose of inspiration to push them forward to make their dreams happen – and Maybelline New York, the world’s no. 1 makeup brand, perfectly knows that.

Apart from believing in the transformative power of beauty and using the energy of New York to make dreams happen, Maybelline knows that being a venue to share the stories of young successful women is what every Filipina needs to carve out a name for themselves and make IT happen. That is why this year, Maybelline New York takes it a notch higher and brings forth its ‘make IT happen’ movement as it partners with 10 young Filipina ‘Makers’ by giving them a venue to share their inspirational stories. 

“Maybelline has always believed in the power of beauty to make things happen. We want our message on empowerment and possibilities to be a part of every young Filipina’s narrative,” shared Cary Co, Marketing Director for Maybelline Philippines. “Our partnership with these 10 girls signals our commitments to bring forth what we truly mean by ‘Make IT Happen.’ We hope that by giving these girls a venue to share their stories, we are able to inspire other girls to make their own stories of success happen.”

Maybelline has partnered with these 10 young Filipina Makers to share their own make it happen stories:

Photographer Sara Black on her “Make Imagination Happen” story
Celebrity Stylist Kimi Yap on her “Make Confidence Happen” story
Fashion Designer Rosenthal Tee on her “Make Fashion Happen” story
Model Maureen Wroblewitz on her “Make Bold Happen” story
Calligrapher Alexis Ventura on her “Make Creativity Happen” story
Athlete Denisse Lazaro on her “Make Strength Happen” story
Education Advocate Arizza Nocum on her “Make Change Happen” story
Blogger Lissa Kahayon on her “Make Ambitious Happen” story
Fitness Guru Ida Paras on her “Make Determination Happen” story
Filmmaker Janina Manipol on her “Make Dedication Happen” story


“Being a fashion designer and blogger gives me an opportunity to express myself and share bits of my life to my readers. Being recognized and appreciated for what I do also drives me to succeed and to strive to be better in what I do. I’ve allowed myself to take risks, accept challenges, and dream big,” shared Lissa Kahayon.

Drawing inspiration from within, Sara Black professional photographer shares that she makes imagination happen, through visualizing the image in her mind and translating it into reality through a photograph. “What drives me is the need to stay current and putting my best work forward. Never be complacent,” shared Black. 

As an artist and entrepreneur, Alexis Ventura transformed her hobby into a business, but not without the challenges that this brings. She shares that “though turning a hobby into a business is a blessing, finding the right opportunities to develop myself and my team was not easy. Working to reach big dreams with limited resources allows us to be even more creative with our solutions”.
