Passing on the Torch

-
A few months ago, I was privileged enough to be invited by Neutrogena Philippines to be one of their brand ambassadors for their Fine Fairness line. For a day, I found myself sitting with girls who I admire not only for their beauty but for the things that they’ve achieved in their respective fields as well.

I was in the midst of Patty Laurel, Isabel Roces, Georgia Schulze-del Rosario, Solenn Heusaff, and fellow bloggers Phoebe Ramos, Earth Rullan, and Jane Kingsu-Cheng. It was like a dream come true. I was beyond flattered.

I recently wrote about what happened that day, it was filled with preparations in order for us to have a bright start to our 2011.

A few days after, things took the wrong turn. With a heavy heart, I had to formally withdraw as Neutrogena Philippines’ brand ambassador due to certain rules that I have to obey. This involves the other part of my life – my professional career. I shall not dwell on the nitty-gritty of the rule but sadly, I had to bid my new found friends from Neutrogena Philippines goodbye.

On a happier note, it is my privilege to introduce to you the newest face of Neutrogena’s Fine Fairness line. She’s a fellow blogger who, despite her young age, has achieved a lot in blogging, product endorsements, and even TV show hosting. I wasn’t surprised that Neutrogena Philippines chose her to be the 8th brand ambassador as she truly deserves it. Let us all say hello to Hannah Villasis of Flaircandy.com.

Hooray for Hannah! :) Read about her discoveries and adventures at the Neutrogena Philippines Facebook Page.

To Neutrogena Philippines, thank you for giving me that wonderful opportunity and I look forward to seeing you all again someday. :)

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
