I think being in quarantine for more than a year does have it downs and we have to admit that stress has heightened recently. There are so many ways that I have looked to at least take my mind off things that I worry about. 

When I was younger, I loved to play games on our Sega and Nintendo but as a mom you really don't get that luxury or even time anymore. I always look for something quick and easy and not so much time consuming - it's hard to not keep track of time when you are a mom and a full time worker.

Cravings satisfied from the safety of my home. I ordered the New Subway Tortilla Wrap Roasted Chicken Breast flavor will all my favorite vegetables and made it into a meal, just by adding Php 85! 

Pre-pandemic, it was easy to express appreciation during Mother's Day - most would go on vacation, eat out and buy in malls. This year, even with a pandemic and while in quarantine you can still greet all the Supermoms that you know on Mother's Day, wherever they are to make them special. 

I like to consider myself as a Supermom, as I work a full time job from home as a Manager, run a weekend coffee shop and try to guide my husband and my kids. 

For decades, coffee has not really been part of the healthy diet list. Besides allegedly triggering high blood pressure, insomnia, and hyperacidity, the Filipino habit of adding lots of sugar and cream to one’s cup has been said to aggravate diabetes. 

As a coffee lover and dependent myself I need to have more that 1 cup a day to make sure I have the energy I need to complete my tasks. 

While there’s no denying the Pinoy coffee fan his morning cup, there is concern over the amount of sugar present in commercial 3-in-1 coffee mixes. The leading brand has 14.6 grams of sugar in one 20-gram sachet alone. Imagine how much sugar you’re taking in if you drink an average of three cups of coffee a day.

If you want to keep your skin healthy and glowing, you need to balance the pH of your skin. But a lot of people don’t know how to do that, or what it even means in the first place. This guide will tell you everything you need to know about skin pH.

What Is pH?

Potential hydrogen (pH) is a measure of how acidic things are. It is measured on a scale of 1 to 14, with the lower numbers being more acidic and the higher numbers being more alkali. 7 on the scale is neutral.  

Who says you need to travel to enjoy the summer sun? I love being creative with my daughter and we love to bond during the summer afternoon in our tent on the roof deck. +

To give things a twist, I made her a refreshing Choco Frappe using Vitamilk Double Choco Shake! 

This new normal where everyone has started to adapt has had people looking in to finding better ways to live, given that we spend more time at home than ever. A lot of families had either done major renovations, beautify their interiors, made their workspace more aesthetic and for the kids completely renovated their rooms so that they do not feel the burden of staying home.  

In The Philippines, despite the real estate market being hit in 2020, we are now seeing it slowly being revived as the Philippines Central Bank expects that it will recover with a 7.8 percent growth this year.
