Plum Organic Super Puffs Mango & Sweet Potato

Aside from Cerelac, I also eat other baby foods as snack like this one from Plum Organics Baby called Organic Super Puffs Fruit & Veggie Grain Puffs. A friend of mine bought this in Healthy Options and gave it to me.

I first encountered this when I visited a relative of ours in Canada. She was feeding her baby with this star-shaped puffs although I think that was a different brand. I remembered DH and I ate some of it when the mother was not looking hahaha We both liked it ; p

Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief Creamy Wash and Moisture Cream with Natural Colloidal Oatmeal

Hello! How's your week?

My SIL gave me  a set of Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief in Creamy Wash and Moisture Cream. I noticed immediately that it's Pediatrician Recommended and it's Fragrance Free. Well, that's good enough for me to give it a try!

I know it's for babies but I can use it too, right? lol Btw, I read in the label that Aveeno Baby is a Johnson & Johnson product so it's a trust-worthy brand.

Kimmy Our Little Shih-Poo (Shitzu Poodle Mix)

Last Sunday, my SIL brought our adorable bunso to a grooming salon in Tiendesitas to get a "Summer Haircut". And this is how she looks like when she came back home. I almost did not recognize her.

 Kimmy, the Shih-Poo

Her poodle genes reflected on her soft and smooth hair. The new haircut actually has done some pretty good things to her. For one, she is not shy anymore. Actually, when this photo was taken, she was the one who approached me which seldom never happens. Pre- "summer haircut", it was also really hard to take a photo of her but look at her now ; )

New Find: RHEA 70% Isopropyl Alcohol Scented and with Moisturizer

A few nights ago, DH brought home a bottle of RHEA rubbing alcohol. He was suffering from cough and cold and he wants to disinfect his hands after every trip to the bathroom. Looks like he bought this bottle in Mercury Drug Store along with cough syrup ; p

 Rhea 70% Isopropyl Alcohol Scented and with Moisturizer 500ml PhP 69.75

Anyway, I was not even aware that he bought a bottle until one night, coming out of our bathroom, I smelled it. I think I asked him on two occasions, "What's that I am smelling?".

It has a floral scent, nothing like Family Rubbing Alcohol which I also like along with Green Cross.

Oilatum Bar for Dry, Sensitive Skin

Remember when I told you about the consultation I had with my dermatologist last year? Well, aside from the sample sachets of Physiogel, she also gave me an Oilatum bar 15g sampler.

bought my 3rd Oilatum 100g bar PhP 165

To make the long story short, I really liked it so I recently bought another bar. It keeps my face clean and does not strip away moisture with its Moisture Trapping System.

There are two sizes- 50g and 100g. I bought the latter at Mercury Drug Store because it is cheaper than the former. Oilatum 50g bar soap costs PhP119 ; p
