Teachable Moment: More Tasks Mean More Blessings

August 19, 2013

Kuya Ross was complaining about the Penmanship drills that his Papa prepared for him. He was frowning and whining while writing lazily.

"Kuya, do you remember when Mama used to complain why I had to do so many household chores while chasing your baby brother the whole day? Did you like it when Mama was behaving that way?"

"No, Mama."

"I also don't like it when you do that. I feel so sad."

"Me too, Mama."

"You know what, when I was grumpy, I ended up not finishing anything because I wasted so much time complaining. I didn't even consider your feelings when I whine. I changed my way of thinking because I realized that I should be thankful because God made me a stay-at-home mom. I could take care of you, Papa, and Bunso. I work from sun up to sun down, do tasks that I think I couldn't do all at the same time. I also have a business to take care of despite the fact that I have so much work to do as a mom. There are so many things to do yet so little time! Doing more tasks means we are productive. Through these tasks we learn something new everyday. We have to be happy and thankful that we have a chance to work harder. That means we are blessed and we have a purpose."

"Mama, what makes you happy and thankful that you have so much work?"

"When I see that everybody's happy with what I do, it makes me happy too. Imagine, I am not paid for what I do here at home. I don't dress up like office girls do and get paid with money when I take care of you. But I still do it Kuya. Hindi lahat natutumbasan ng pera, anak. Masaya ako at naaalagaan ko kayo kasi mahal ko kayo. When we love what we do, others would feel it. It gives us more drive to do so much more. Kaya ikaw, Kuya, you have to be thankful that your teacher gives you so many assignments. That means she loves you and she wants you to learn. Show her that you love her by doing your best. When you do your best, something good will happen. Trust me."

He kept quiet, then continued doing his drills. I kissed him on his forehead and did my motherly duties. I knew I left something for him to reflect on. I prepared a glass of cold orange juice and baked macaroni as a reward for his hard work.

I took this photo after our brief heart to heart talk.See how he did his Penmanship drills dutifully!

REVIEW: Wet n Wild Mega Last Lip Colors 902C Bare It All and 903C Just Peachy

August 14, 2013

I love lip colors! They give me different looks depending on my mood. I experiment trying different brands and colors that suit me because my lips tend to dry and flake easily. Well, I never regret purchasing Wet n Wild Mega Last Lip Colors in 902C Bare It All and 903C Just Peachy! I would like to share with you why I recommend these shades.

Product Detail

Lips take center stage! This 4-hour, long wearing lip color leaves a semi-matte, crème finish in one stroke. Glides on easily with rich, velvety color that doesn't cake, feather, or bleed. Made with hydrating skin-care ingredients: Hyaluronic Microspheres provide extraordinary adhesion to lips, an exclusive polymer complex offers cushion-like feel and texture, and natural marine plant extracts Coenzyme Q10 and Vitamins A and E help smooth lips.

In My Opinion...

Pros: I really love these shades! I have pale lips and they suit me! They just give the right amount of color to make my lips pop and glow! Both are perfect for everyday wear. When I used them, they lasted for 5 hours, longer than most lip colors do. They are very matte, highly pigmented, and bleeding-resistant too.
Bare It All matches any dark eye make-up while Just Peachy matches brown or earth tone light eye make-up.

Half the tubes (packaging) are transparent and the labels placed underneath have the product numbers and names that make them easy to identify.
You can purchase these affordable lip colors here in the Philippines through Watsons or leading shopping malls. They are also available online through Sweet and Sparkle.

Product numbers and names are written on labels located underneath the tubes.

Transparent covers make the lip colors easy to identify too.

Cons: My lips tend to become flaky and dry when I used Just Peachy compared to Bare It All although a lip balm could fix the problem. I recommend that you should apply lip balm first before putting Just Peachy. But for Bare It All, prepping your lips with lip balm is not needed unless your lips are very dry. The packaging is not that superior and you have to put the cover gently to avoid contact with the lip color.

I would definitely recommend these lip colors especially to those women on the go who prefer nude shades.
