As a practical momma, I always look for something that is of quality, that's convenient, that's easy to use, multi-functional, and that's value for money.  When it comes to an all-around make-up, All Around Flush by Clocheflame hits that practical heart of mine, right in the middle!

Imagine not having to bring a big pouch of make up especially when you go out (on essential trips to the grocery, school, banks, etc) to run errands.  Just bring ONE, and use only ONE to look and feel good!  

Meet the All Around Flush by Clocheflame—NOT just another multi-use product. The AAF has a one of a kind gel-mousse texture that’s formulated like a serum and blends like a dream. Packed with ingredients your skin will thank you for: antioxidant vitamin e, collagen for intense hydration, grape seed oil for a softer touch, mango butter for long lasting smoothness and SPF for extra sun protection. 

The All Around Flush comes in four unique juicy shades that will give you color that glows from within. These shades are not usually seen in the local market, and Clocheflame takes pride in curating something that’s inspired by you and the warmth that you bring for a beauty routine that’s made for you and good to you.

All four shades are also meant to be mixed and matched. Just do whatever suits your mood: a sheer glow or a rich flush – just like watercolor but for your face!

These are the things that actually caught my attention:

• It's Cruelty-free, formulated without any harmful chemicals like paraben
• Proudly made in the Philippines.
• Value for money - for only Php389, you get 10ml tube
• Practical - each tube per tube that can last up to 6 months OR longer
• Multi-use - For lips, cheeks, and even eye!  

See it for yourself. Look as good as you feel and feel as good as you look with the All Around Flush. Check their official shop on SHOPEE by visiting: https://shopee.ph/clocheflameofficial

Self-care is one of my advocacies as a mom.  We often forget or neglect ourselves when we get so caught up with our wife and motherhood roles.  They say we can't give what we don't have, so we should love ourselves also so our tanks will be full to love others too!

Beautifying is one of the many expressions of self-care and self-love.  I'm glad there are many beauty products that are now available online that'll help us in this department.  We have no excuse not to be pretty!  One example is BEAUTY GLAZED and it's ONE SALE this 9.9 Super Shopping Day on Shopee.  

Here's a list of what I've been eyeing at BEAUTY GLAZED Shopee Beauty!

BEAUTY GLAZED Double end Eyebrow Pencil Makeup Tint Natural Long Lasting Paint Tattoo Stamp Eyeliner Eyebrow Waterproof Cosmetics

I'm fond of using classic pencils for my brows.  This is a new eyebrow pencil which increases the volume by 30%.  I personally have  a thing for beautiful thick brows which I once had naturally as a younger me.  So this would really help up the brow game.  

I like that it has soft texture, easy to write, and long-lasting!  The stick has 2 sides, one side is a cream stick. Used to add color. And make the eyebrows the desired shape.  It comes in auto pencil form, just turn around the handle. The cream will slide out. Amazing isn't it?  No waste in sharpening. The other side is a brush for spreading the color evenly across the brow.

It is an eyebrow pencil that I recommended for all girls and women to have !! Easy to write pencil texture. Get both beautiful looks Or focus on clear nature This one can get it all.

Let's talk about skincare for women my age - 40s!  Being in 40s means I need more skincare steps than those who are in their younger years.   This is because I need to address some aging concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, dryness, dullness, and uneven skin tone (due to sun damage). 

My usual skincare steps include the following:

• Cleanse
• Tone
• AM/PM Moisturize/Hydration
• Sunscreen for the face and body (AM)
• Eye skincare (PM)
• Anti-aging step (PM)
• Special needs skincare (if I have acne and some spot correction)

I use some of Cetaphil skincare products to help me have a more radiant and healthy and younger-looking skin.  These are: Cetaphil Brightness Refresh Toner, Cetaphil Brightening Day Protection Cream SPF15, Cetaphil Brightening Body Lotion, and Cetaphil Brightness Reveal Bar.  

Sharing you why I love Cetaphil's Bright Healthy Radiance Collection and what I use from its line of skincare products!

I am a full time mom who is also a self-employed professional.  Every day I face my demanding "clients" - my kids or my my laptop.  This is a life that I chose and don't get me wrong, I am happy about it.  At least I get to stay at home while being able to take care of my kids.

Working from home can be quite challenging too.  It may be ideal for moms like me, but it can also get really stressful especially when you have to meet deadlines.  But I have to do them anyway.  

Stress can either be good or bad.  Good stress pushes me to do better and work more efficiently.  I believe that any stress can be managed.  When I feel pressured at work, all I have to do is just take a break.  

One of my favorite break past times is playing games online!  What I love about playing games online are:

• It gets my mind off work.
• It becomes an effective outlet for stress.
• It helps me think better.
• It regains my focus.
• It's fun.
• It makes me feel better.

How To Play: This is a candy merging 3 in a row game where players get 65 total moves. As players score points they level up, causing the playing field to add rows or columns.

Move a piece with an adjacent piece to create a streak of 3 or more in a row vertically or horizontally.

Create multiple streaks at the same time or streaks longer than 3 to create power ups which can be used subsequently.  Score as many points as you can before you run out of moves.

Jackie Chan said, “I enjoy putting a smile on people’s faces. It’s exciting to partner with Shopee to celebrate the action-packed year-end festival and bring more joy to my fans and Shopee users. I had a lot of fun working with Shopee and I think people of all ages will enjoy the activities and content that we have prepared together. I hope everyone can join us to make the year-end shopping season a memorable one.”

I was one of the first ones to know about this during the media launch I attended with other bloggers, influencers, and media partners of Shopee.  The media launch as expected, was full of raffle prizes (which I am forever unlucky with), surprise announcements of the 9.9 Super Shopping Day promos, lovely performance from singer-songwriter Kitchie Nadal, and food!  Below are some highlights during that day!

Shopee pioneered the first 9.9 Super Shopping Day in 2016. Each year, it marks the start of a highly anticipated year-end shopping season across the region. A survey conducted by Shopee revealed that over 90% of users across the region proactively seek out information to make better purchase decisions during the campaigns. The mega shopping season also tends to attract new online shoppers, with 43% of shoppers making their first-ever online purchase during the year-end campaigns.

From now till September 9, Shopee has lined up the best deals and activities. Shoppers can satisfy all their shopping needs, win exciting rewards from their favorite games on Shopee Prizes, and enjoy non-stop entertainment with special appearances by their favorite celebrities.

Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “The pandemic continues to affect both individuals and businesses. As communities continue to live, work, shop, and play from home, we have stepped up our efforts to ensure users have access to their daily essentials through our shopping campaigns. We are also committed to supporting local MSMEs and have launched a series of support initiatives as well as Support Local campaigns to generate greater visibility and enable users to easily identify and support local businesses. We look forward to bringing some joy to our local communities during this year-end season.”

I found it mandatory before the start of yet another quarantine in Metro Manila to visit my favorite skin clinic, SkinStation, for my third Revitalight Facial.  The two-year anxiety-filled community quarantine has been affecting the quality of my facial skin.  It's become a bit dry and dull, fine lines started appearing, and pores are going from almost none to gigantic!

Revitalight is a combination of facial, diamond peel and Nd-Yag laser to refresh and rejuvenate dull, dry & tired-looking skin! 

Below are the instant benefits you get from it:

• Revitalizes instantly to give you younger looking skin
• Rejuvenates skin from dull to glowing
• Promotes collagen formation
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Minimizes pore size
