Hersheys Equals Yum

Hershey's just always brings happy childhood memories of chocolate treats with a unique taste that wires our brain to link it with the brand. Up to now, Hershey's never fails to disappoint as they continually evolve into other products which bring delight generation after generation. Hershey's spreads just go well with everything you can think of for a snack. Friends love it with pretzels and soft bread, while hubby and kids love it with fruits like bananas and strawberries. Just so plain yummy!

Home Hair Color Newbie

I have always had my hair colored in a salon, so with this BzzAgent campaign with Garnier Olia, I have to admit the end-result was not quite what I had expected. I was not quite satisfied with the outcome. You can see some of my white hairs still sticking out. But that was the only unsatisfactory part. The dark brown color was just perfect - if only I was able to adequately cover the entire hair area. The scent and texture afterwards was just awesome. I will definitely use Garnier Olia again, and this time I will make sure to do it right. Practice makes perfect!

My Garnier Skin Care Journey: Skin Renew Dark Spot Overnight Peel

DAY 2: This shows my skin with the natural blush amidst the hideous freckles. My face has lost the dryness and appears quite moist and supple.

DAY 16: Still with the blush and hydrated skin. Now the freckles appear to have turned lighter brown. I may be imagining this, but some appear faded already. Awesomeness!

DAY 30: Wow! More improvement going on here. Lost most of the ugly freckles. Thank you Garnier!

Fresh, Exciting, Inviting!

That's how the song "Fresh" by Kool and the Gang would go. Getting these products to test from BzzAgent was really a treat. The designs of the oil diffuser kit and fragrance mist were so stylish and blended really well in our living room and bathroom, respectively. Of course, the scents were equally unique and exotic which makes our home something to look forward going home to after a long hard day at work. Just cannot wait to try the other scents.

Eagan and His Post Alpha-Bits

                               

Ever since our BzzKit of Post Alpha-Bits arrived on our door step, Eagan just can't get enough of them. This  cereal now has become a part of their breakfast ritual. Thank goodness for coupons because we were able to save a lot in buying some more. They just love the mild sweet taste that goes well with or without milk. And they always look forward to opening the box with their favorite Super Why characters in it. Eagan does not know how to read yet, but he does enjoy identifying the letters and the words associated with them. That's what makes this cereal amazing - it's a mixture of healthy, educational, and entertaining for the little ones. In the famous words of Alpha Pig, I am giving this cereal "a big thumb's up!"

Boys of Summer

Thanks to these explosively colorful bragbook freebies from Traci Reed, I was able to make this special summer album for my loved ones. Except for my husband, summer in USA is a first for me and our two boys. Sunny days here in California are really hot, hot, hot though not as uncomfortably hot as in the Philippines. I would say that our summer has been a pretty eventful one. We got to go to Seattle, Oregon, and San Francisco to celebrate with my mother-in-law her week-long 80th birthday bonanza. It was pretty exciting for me as I got to marvel at the uniqueness of each place I was in. Eagan was just thrilled to meet his grandma, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Going to Huntington Beach and The Orange County Fair was a huge treat for us too as we really got into the feel of how summer is really like here in America. What a cool summer!

Happy Anniversary To Us!

Has it really been 3 years already --- being married to my best friend, my soul mate, my immortal love! The years just passed by so fast with us settling down, having Eagan, then moving to America and having Aaron. Time would just breeze by without us noticing it as we become focused on our two bubbly boys and as we face the everyday struggles of settling in a foreign land. I have to admit I miss the days when Edison and I would go out on a date and walk side by side holding hands without a care in the world --- watching a movie or just spending time in a cafe. But don't get me wrong as I am not complaining. Being with our two boys right now is a different kind of experience and adventure. They are the extension of our love for each other, and not to spend each and every day with them just makes me feel so incomplete.  Thank you, my love, for the colorful and wonderful 3 years!
