Myra, The Natural Vitamin E

I've been a natural Vitamin E believer because of its benefits to our health.  Why did I even mention natural?  Are there synthetic Vitamin E?  Sadly, yes there are.  But with vitamin E, natural is still and always better.

Recently, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a package from Myra and with a note pa. :)

The package contained Myra Vitamin E capsules, Myra Hand & Body Lotion and Myra Daily Sun Protect Facial Moisturizer

For beautiful stress-free skin, Vitamin E is the key

How To Create An Account On Bloglovin'

Alright, now I am panicking because Google Reader will cease starting July 1.  That's next week already, the day of my blog's first year anniversary!  I usually read the blogs I follow using Google Reader and I bet some of you do too.  

So now that Google Reader is closing, where to go?  Where to get updates from me and the other blogs that you follow?

HELLO BLOGLOVIN'

I've read from fellow bloggers that they recently created an account on Bloglovin'.  It's an alternative to Google Reader which is very clean, easy on the eyes and easy to use.  It has a capability which lets you migrate all the blogs you follow from your Google Reader to Bloglovin' after you've signed up.

I recently signed up to Bloglovin' using my email address.  You could also sign up using your Facebook account.  Let me take you through it.

My Working Mom Practical Saving Tips On Glam-o-Mamas

Being a working mom has both disadvantages and advantages.  The downside is that you are away from your kids the whole day from Mondays to Fridays and don't get to spend as much time as you want to.  In effect, you tend to be guilty from working away from home because you don't get to attend to their needs, do the loving chores for them, clean and dress them up, and play with them. 

But come to think of it, there are advantages too.  Working gives your household a steady income, a secured hospitalization benefits, a group insurance, bonuses here and there, and for moms, a good pack of self-confidence and oozing boost to self-esteem.  The only challenge that we face most of the time is - BUDGETING and SAVING.  Because we're always out, we can't help but spend, sometimes beyond the allowance we set for ourselves daily. 

So I came up with some money-saving tips for busy working moms and it was published on Glam-o-Mamas!

Value For Money Back-To-School Shopping

Are you done shopping for your children's back-to-school needs? Honestly, I'm not yet done, but I already started. After almost experiencing a heart attack when I enrolled my son, we went to SM Manila to do some shopping using the SM Accessories gift vouchers I received in the mail and of course our budgeted back-to-school shopping money.

In my recent post about SM Accessories Kids Cool School Savers, I mentioned that they've got discounted merchandise which will give any moms big savings! I've bought the big ticketed items for him such as his school bag, lunch kit, uniforms, shoes and other accessories. I haven't ticked any item yet on his books and school supplies list. :)

I just want to share the great deal I got from my recent shopping at SM. When they said, "We've got it all for you" they really weren't joking.

School Bag
Since my now Grade 4 student son is no longer fond of character-designed bags, he spotted this plain trolley bag sitting at one corner.  When I picked it up, I was so surprised that it was on 50% discounted sale!  From P1,700.00 it was down to P800.00 +!  Imagine that huge drop in price?  If I were to buy him the character-branded bags of this size, it would have been a slash of P3,000 on my budget!  The material of the bag is very durable and made of quality.  You could tell with the stitches and the canvass used.  I'm so glad we noticed this bag!

Practical Fashion: Let's Think Green

Have you ever bought something, like a piece of clothing that you know the moment you fit it, it's meant for you?  How about, knowing that particular dress came with an unbelievable tag price, worth less than Php500.00 but looks worth more than a thousand pesos?

I know that very EXACT feeling!  Since I've been singing regularly in a hotel lounge, looking good is a requirement, at least with the clothes I wear.  Lately, I've been scouting for sales in the metro because I don't feel comfortable buying an expensive outfit which I will get to wear only once (in my performance days).  Plus I don't like the feeling that all my talent fee will just go for shopping.

Being the practical shopper that I am, I knew I scored 10 on this pretty green long sheer dress!  You wouldn't believe that it costs ONLY Php 399.00.  I bought the winner dress at SMX during their 3rd edition of "The Great Luxe SALE" last weekend.
