Oh! The heat is unbearable, I can't wait for the summer to be over! But I am glad that the rain is also bringing an end to the summer-like weather we've been experiencing. Although it is a mixed emotion because we didn't really have the chance to enjoy the summer with getaways in the beach or travel in one of our plans of going to another country yet but we did have the chance to go swimming in our staycation at the hotel and play outdoor playground that gave me a bit of summer flushed skin.

Now it is time to bring back that natural fair skin and just the perfect timing when Secret de Beauté sent me products to review to gently and safely whiten the skin.

The perfect combo to achieve that whiter, moisturize and anti-aging skin- Secret de Beauté Whitening 8 IN 1 OPTI DOSE WHITENING SOAP and POWER DOSE INTENSIVE WHITENING BODY LOTION

MAXIMS Hotel Review

DETAILS:

Hotel Address: Newport Boulevard Newport City, Pasay, Luzon 1309, Philippines (Formerly Maxims Hotel at Resorts World Manila)

Website: http://www.rwmanila.com/hotels/maxims-hotel

Hotel Amenities:

• Fitness Center with Gym/Workout Room

• Free Breakfast

• Free High Speed Internet (WiFi)

Number of Rooms: 172

Description by the Hotel:

From the upscale Asian lodging brand of the Genting Group, Maxims Hotel is the all-suite luxury hotel in the Philippines, setting the benchmark for high-end accommodations in the country. Catering to guests with the most discerning tastes, this first-class city retreat is equipped with 169 spacious and lavishly-furnished suites.

Complementing the plush amenities is its impeccable, personalized service. Each room is assigned a butler to attend to the guests’ every need, from their itinerary to dining reservations, 24 hours a day.

For VVIPs, there are three royal villas available. A Maxims Hotel Villa offers over 500 square meters of personal leisure space, with a magnificent pool, impressive patio, and an elegant kitchen and dining room for you to hold your intimate dinners. Adding to its enticing indulgences, each Maxims Hotel Villa has its own massage room, offering a relaxing respite to hotel guests. The pinnacle of luxury at Maxims Hotel is its The Mansion. This 600 square-meter suite is a veritable urban oasis with two pavilions, its own lush garden and a private swimming pool.

The Mansion is the ultimate luxurious escape, with its private massage room, visual room, bar and other top-of-the-line features that will surely make your stay a one-of-a-kind experience.

Why we chose Maxims Hotel to celebrate my Niko's 7th Birthday?

We stayed here for two nights, checked in the day before my son's birthday which is May 5, 2014 and checked out after his birthday which was May 7, 2014. Yes, May 6 it's his birthday :P

A lot of you already knew that my husband's work is a poker pro player and that week was Asian Poker Tour at Resorts World Manila so that is one of the mainly reason why we checked in on this hotel, we got the room with the discounted rate but without breakfast included and for me it was very expensive but for the happiness of our eldest son we will give him anything he wants.

It was the perfect place to stay because the hotel is attached to a Restaurants, Casino, Shopping Boutiques, Game Zoo (Game Arcade) and Cinemas (Perfect because we watched Amazing Spider-man 2 on his birthday) so it's very convenient.

Here's the sneakiest peek of our Maxim's Hotel Staycation.

Last Friday, I had a bonding time with my kids to the special blocked screening of XMEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST sponsored by PLDT HOME TELPAD, The Only Online Landline.

The All-New PLDT HOME Telpad on Quad Core gives you 4x the power! You can enjoy hundreds of hit movies right at your fingertips. It gives me more special bonding time with my family with #WatchPlayListen that you can do with having a Telpad at home.

Last Thursday, I was invited to an intimate lunch as Jollibee gives us another reason to love Jolly Spaghetti even more- as it formally paves the way to its newest family endorsers held at Fairmont Hotel, Makati City.

We were treated with a special performance of A Capella Manila group.

It was hosted by Christine Jacob-Sandejas

Jollibee Marketing Director Kent Mariano

Jollibee Brand Manager Mr. Joseph Aruta

For Carmina Villaroel-Legaspi, coming home to her first love—Jollibee—is especially sweet as she is joined by the people closest to her heart, her family. The actress and her husband Zoren Legaspi, and their twins Mavy and Cassy, were formally introduced as the newest family endorsers of Jolly Spaghetti.

If you are tempted to get a hair rebond because your hair is dull, frizzy and unmanageable and you want that straight, sleek and shiny hair.

However, Imagine the indignation when you get a bad rebond or a rebond that lasts only a month. Remember that rebonding is a chemical, thermal, and mechanical process that is sure to have side effects and adverse reactions. Hair rebonding should help you feel and look more beautiful. That is why getting good quality rebonds using the right products with the best hairstylist is very important.

I recently visited Posh Nails, Perea Branch for an afternoon of pampering with blogger friends.

Posh Nails, Perea branch has been opened for almost a year now. With over 30 branches nationwide established since Posh Nails started in 2002, this salon has proven that experience and quality matter more than anything.

Posh Nails, across its many branches nationwide, has established credibility and consistency. One of the best things about this branch is that clients compliment its relaxing ambience. On top of that, the nail technicians are competent, neat and pleasant.

Posh Nails, Perea branch is owned by Jen Aquino with her sisters as business partners, believe in the quality of service that Posh Nails gives its clients, as they have experienced it for themselves many times.

Posh Nails is located in the heart ♥ of Makati's business district and of course, knowing that one of Makati's drawbacks is difficulty in parking, Posh Nails has provided ample space in front and the building has its own parking area at the back.

Being close to several malls like Glorietta, Greenbelt, Landmark and SM, this branch is the perfect place to go after shopping or because it is in the area where a lot of the offices are so I highly recommend this place to the working women of the metro looking for some de-stressing.

Menstruation is natural to all women but it can get really uncomfortable at times, not to mention the "hassles" it brings that can affect your entire day at work or at school. With Perfect Pads, every Filipina can have a Perfect day, every day!

Last month Perfect Pads unveiled Australian-Filipina Jasmine Curtis-Smith as the brand ambassadress. It's very perfect because she is exquisitely beautiful, bordering to looking perfect and she has trust and confidence in the brand that she is endorsing.

This summer we all just want a light as air and without caking skin in make-up. This season of hot, humid and dry summer you are going to see more BB creams review and I highly recommend it if you want light weight, non-cakey and yet give you the minimal coverage. I've been a big BB cream fan for a year now because I loved the way that my skin looked brighter, fresher and even better looking skin the longer I used it.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Hayan Korea BB Cream Perfect Skin Cover in shade no. 99

My kids and I LOVE chocolate milk. Like L-O-V-E it. It's our most favorite drink ever.

Cloud 9, the delectable chocolate bar from Jack ‘n Jill, has long been a favorite. The familiar combination of crunchy peanuts, creamy caramel and soft nougat embraced by a solid coating of rich, milk chocolate is just too yummy to resist.

Summer is a time for some relaxation and fun, especially for the kids. I'm constantly looking for activities that my children can do during the summer. However, I always find the ones that they usually don’t enjoy. As life just zooms by, I feel like I don’t get as much time as I would like to have. I want to make sure the time we spend together is fun and engaging for all of us.

This summer, I found a new way to get to your family's soft spot. Monde Mamon-It-Yourself.

"I am caring and only want what’s best for my children. It’s important for families to discover things together. I’ve discovered Mamon-It-Yourself as a great family activity."

Fact: Making your own meal at home is less expensive than eating out. Not only does it save you money but you can also make it healthier with no added preservatives by choosing your own ingredients. You are able to ensure the ingredients that go into your food are clean and free of contaminants. However, many people simply don't do it because it's inconvenient, it takes time to prepare and they often have no idea how to prepare a good family meal.

Here's great news for everyone! Now there's an app to help you, as San Miguel Pure Foods launches their My Great Food App.

May 09, 2014

My kids love eating snacks and so do I. We always make sure to stock up on snacks- the food we get to enjoy in between our meals. Some people (wrongly) think snacking isn’t healthy, but we don’t agree. It is just about picking the right snacks. Snacking is a way to combat hunger between meals, sneak in some extra energy, vitamins and nutrients and even try exciting fun and delicious foods!

Last week, we went grocery shopping and while looking at the grocery aisle and putting our favorite Lemon Square products (Lemon Square products have also been my kid's favorite as baon for school) in our shopping cart, we saw this interesting Power Pops!

May 09, 2014

I attended an event at Bonifacio Global City yesterday and on my way to the parking lot, I saw Old Navy and decided to take a trip to check things out.

Shop for the whole family

Back in the States, Old Navy has been one of the clothing brand our whole family love to shop because you can find something for everyone at the store and at a reasonable prices.
