My Skin Regimen

-
I believe it is important to have a skin regimen.  It is important to always take care of our skin. I started having a regular skin regimen back when I was in college.  When I was in elementary, it was just plain washing of the face.  In high school, since I had pimple breakouts, it was a skin regimen prescribed by a dermatologist.  I did not consider it regular because eventually, when the outbreak stopped, I also stopped the skin regimen.

Pond's was my regular skin regimen back in college.  I think this was when Pond's started to introduce it's whitening range in the Philippines.  Their whitening range was love, love, love!  This is especially true for teenagers are very much interested in having fairer and whiter skin (I think Filipinos are addicted to this!).  So I use Pond's facial wash and then it's whitening cream after.

This is their current whitening range.

Of course, after a while, I realized that our skin age and products must have sun protection.  So my next skin regimen consisted of Godiva products.  I don't know if Godiva is still available in the local market but their whitening products are also good.  I used their blemish line back then and I found the products very effective.  It claims to have natural ingredients and also boosts of sun protection.

Godiva's Anti-Blemish Line.
 
Eventually, I discovered Avon.  Avon was a very famous brand back when I was still in college.  I think it is still famous right now since a lot of people I know are still patronizing Avon products.  What I love about Avon is foremost a buy now and pay one (1) month later payment scheme.  For college students, I think that's heaven (and up until now, that's still a deal!).  And oh, I get a 25% discount too! My main face cream consists of the Avon Rejuvenate Day Cream and Night Cream.  I have been using it since I was in my early 20's.  I'm now in my early 30's and I'm still using it.  I love the product a lot.  There's something about my skin which make people notice.

This is the complete Anew Rejuvenate Line.  I only use the day & night cream.
The rejuvenate line is for the those 30+ of age.

But apart from Avon's products, I also use products from the Human Heart Nature- an organic based products.  We've been very conscious about the products we use lately.  This started when we discovered that Caleb, my eldest child, had skin asthma.  From the Human Heart Nature line, I use their Balancing Facial Wash and Toner, their Moisturizing Day Cream and Night Cream and their Sunflower Oil.  I've been using these for more than a year and I find their products really effective.  Add the fact that their products are environment-friendly and therefore scores high on my list!

Day Cream.
Night Cream.


Sunflower Beauty Oil.  Great for dark under eye circles and for underarms too!

What about you, what's your skin regimen?

How do you discipline your children?

-
When I was younger, I vowed never to spank my kids nor to subject them to any physical punishment.  I just didn't think it would work.  I would see my friends being physically subjected to violence and I saw how they eventually rebelled against their parents. I knew this would only work if my husband-to-be would also agree on me on this point.  So I was very thankful when my husband  +Dante Valenzuela Jr.   also had the same view point as mine.  No spanking, no physical violence, no shouting (although this happens sometimes). Of course, when they were still young it was difficult to discipline them.  You cannot expect a 1 or 2 year old child to understand.  However, when they turned 3, it's easier for them to understand their mistakes and it's easier to make them understand. So how do we discipline them right now?  Whenever my kids do something wrong, I talk to them and point out what they did wrong.  I tell them calmly. Shouting d...

We're Almost 4!

Wow! I can't believe I last wrote on my blog on January 14.  It's been like more than 15 days since I last wrote.  So much for a blog a day, right? But I have been too busy lately with work (sigh) and this makes me terribly guilty of sometimes neglecting the twins. The twins' birthday are coming up.  We decided last year that we would just have a mini-party at home, a quiet family affair.  However, at the early part of this year, I had a change of heart.  Kids only celebrate their parties while they're young right? So this year, we're planning a  mini-party either at McDonalds ( At another branch, not the one at Abreeza.  If you've been following me, you'll know why .) or Jollibee with their friends and playmates.  Less adults, more kids.  That's what we're planning to do this year, invite kids (and of course, the adults that will accompany the kids.) Time indeed really flew so fast.  I can't even believe that they're both soon turni...

Little Kitchen Helper

I would like my kids to love cooking in the same way that they love eating.  I guess I want to instill in them the value of appreciating food- from the preparation stage down to when the food is about to be eaten.  So from time to time, I allow my kids to help me out in the kitchen.  Sometimes they whisk the eggs when we make pancakes, other times they help me mix my cup cake mix (they like this because they love tasting the uncooked mixture!), sometimes they add the salt, just about anything that they can do at their age. Just recently I came across an article which tells us the importance of letting kids help in the kitchen.  Here are the list of advantages:      1.  Understanding- allowing them to help in the kitchen gives kids an understanding of food.      2.  Connection- it also establishes and helps maintain family connection as you're helping out each other.      3.  Skills and Confidence- ...
