Bring extra t-shirt
Prepare atleast one game

Our Activity:
1 hour Zumba Dance and Excercise

This very simple but meaningful event for women was very fun, I saw those smiles and laughter na minsan lang nangyayari with fellow mommies. For how many few hours nakalimutan mo ang problems mo sa bahay, sa kids, sa work and you just to have fun with other women. It really helps to release your stress and and renewing your strength it was like a mommies retreat.

When There's Nobody but Me!

January 2016, I thought that my husband would come home na because he's contract is done. When he called me that month, we're both excited and happy because they received the update of their change crew for the next port. And because of that, my husband told me that I needed to book my parents a plane ticket to Ozamis, so I did. When they arrived in Indonesia, what the heck happened, hindi sya napasama sa mga uuwi and their Captain said na sa next port na makauwi ang next batch.

Their next port is India at wala daw babaan don kaya next port na naman.
But their next port is Brazil, and from India to Brazil it takes almost one month voyage. Nakakainis parang nanadya talaga sila ah! So in short paasa sa wala. Ngayon dumating sila sa Brazil ng maaga and my husband and I were so excited for the update from their office. When his "karelibo" called their office, ang update na naman daw is next port na naman in Singapore! What happen to the world! Where is justice? My husband's contract is only 9 months at anong petsa na? Dapat January nakauwi na sya at kasama namin.

The problem is my parents flight have been booked. Last January 5 pa sila umalis. So at home right now, is only me and my Zd nalang, no companion or yaya. The first week was very hard for me.
If you know and meet my ZD bear, he is very active. As mcuh as possible I want myself to focus on him kasi nakakatakot ipabantay sa iba. But I have no choice but to accept this challenge with all my heart.

On the first day I thought di ko kakayanin but as the day goes by unti-unti, kong nakakayanan.
Every morning I needed to wake up at 5:30 am to prepare our breakfast, clean the house while my toddler is still sleeping. When he wakes up, all my attention is on him.

In the afternoon during his nap time, I need to finish everything na mga gagawin sa bahay including na ang side line sa blog. Pagka gising nya snacks time, play time with him and after that we'd go to the market to buy our food for dinner. whooa!

But I thank God because I realized that I'm so blessed because I have my son and this is the reality of being a married woman. I thank the Lord always because He sustain my strength every day. I prayed that He also sustain the good health of my Zd bear. Through Him I can do all things :)

Right now my husband is still in Brazil and is waiting for their final next voyage, and finally last port  in Singapore. I hope everything will be fine and he will come home safely.  I know that all things work together for good and we're still praying.

Olivares Organic and Natural Products Review

I Received this sample products from Ms. Jenie the Raising Hunter, I'm not able to use these products immediately because I want to consume first the current products that I have use.

The Olivares products are pure organic and natural, and I used the 3 products for 1 month.

Singkamas Pinya-Paya (135 php)

This is a flawless whitening soap, I love the effect of this on my face. I applied this every morning and the evening. I like the outcome of this soap into my face is so soft and it feels like calming. The smell is good. 

Singkamas Pinya-Paya (135 php)

Berry White Ultra Whitening Soap

This soap is also good but I don't like the smell, and natutunaw sya, the texture also not good it's like there's a sand when you use this. But I think it's a normal naman siguro yong amoy nya kasi nga natural and organic sya. I was not able to consume this kasi di ko kaya ang smell.

Berry White (135php)

Eco Deo Spray

No synthetic chemicals, no aluminum or estrogen mimickers, vegan, no animal testing, and gluten-free. 

These is with organic whitening actives for women and men. I used this for almost 3 months na, matagal syang maubos. When I used this it's like a water as in wet and no smell also, after a month of using this, it's effective for me, my armpit before was darker after giving birth to my son but after 3 months of using this I notice that my armpit became whiter than before. Kaso the problem nagpapawis nga lang ang armpit ko :(

Eco Deo Spray

 Lotion Mega Rich and Age Defy Moringa 

Mega Rich: Antioxidant Goat milk lotion. Enhanced and made so rich and silky with the traditional blends of plant actives in Mushroom and Sour Soup (Guyabano). It is a power herb skin recovery if your skin is dry it helps to revive your skin. I like this because it helps to instantly soothe, smoother and more nourished, moisturized your skin.

Phyto Active Botanical Toner Mist

If you have an acne, oily face, any problem of your skin this one is nice, I used this every morning and evening also, after using this my skin became smoother and no more oily na. Unlike before na super oily ng face ko but when I used this di na masyado at okay na okay sya.

We all know that Organic product is really good and there always a good benefits by buying this. We want to do the right things specially for our body, we want the safest products for our health. But most of the organic products are pricey but its not about the price but its about the effect of the products on our body after using of those.

Yellow Tree Cafe Review

The Open Rice Ph, Open Snap invited us again for another Eat's a Date  Cafe review near in our place in 102 Panay Ave., South Triangle Quezon City.

When we arrived there the smell of the Coffee aroma welcomed us and I really liked that!
This is my second Cafe review and I have a high expectations for this Cafe.

Let's take a look the Yellow Tree Cafe Place
Personally I love the place it's very simple but elegant. I love their concept, every corner it has a theme. Sorry I'm not able to take a photo because my toddler wass active and they have many costumers that time that's why I needed to stop him every time he wants to roam around.

The place actually a little bit small but it's okay because it's a Cafe naman eh. Siguro naging mukhang maliit sya that time kasi marami kaming pumasok plus their costumers pa.
I love the ambiance it's cool and homey also.

This is a corporate Cafe, and according to them one of their companions put up a Car wash also. So it's really cool. You can bring your vehicles there and wash and while waiting, you can have your refreshment. 

Their Beautiful and Lovely Cakes :)

1. Chocolate Mango Cake 

2. Moist Chocolate Cake 

3. Carrot Walnut Cake

These following cakes  are not just looks beautiful but this is so yummy, only 120 php per slice and super sulit na sulit talaga. My order was the Mango cake, and for the one slice pwede na sa 2 person. The taste of this cake is different from those cakes that I have already tasted. 

I love this cake also because it has a variety and twist. Like It topped with fruits and also it has a walnuts.

Their Drinks and Refreshments

My order Banana Strawberry Shake

For their drinks they  have Hot classics, Coffee based, Frappes, Non Coffee blends, Yakult tea, Rock Salt (cream cheese), and Cheesy Oreo Foam. I got my Banana Strawberry shake and it's really cool. I love the taste and it's a fruity and juicy shake. 

Even my toddler, my ZD bear was enjoying his cup of fruit it's a peach fruit and I don't know  what they called that my Zd boy keeps saying "sarap" specially the cake and the Banana Strawberry shake.

My ZD bear :)

What Can I say about Yellow Tree Cafe

Overall according to my first experienced of this Cafe I really had a great fun and I enjoyed my order. I love their cake, I would love to order there somehow the Chocolate Mango Cake it's so yummy. 

The place also is great it's cold and comfy I love their music background because it's a Christian song it's very relaxing and nice. Their service is great also, they have all the smile and very approachable. 

So therefore, I have all the reason why this resto is one of my  fave na. If ever I'm stress hahah! I'm sure babalikan ko to kasi malapit lang sa place namin. 

Thank you again Open Rice Ph, and my co- Mommy Bloggers :)

Till next Eat's a date resto review see ya soon!
