Neutrogena Brandvocate's Meet at MoMo Cafe May 23 2011

It was an honor to have been invited as Neutrogena's Brandvocate. I got to meet several other bloggers, some I already know in the cyberworld and some new to me. New friends hooray!



Eww.. camwhoring in company comfort room LoL

The Macaroni

Ooh.. the caserole, all perfectly blended together for comfort

 

The MoMo Vongole Pizza : Roasted Garlic, different cheeses, clams, shrimps, and other seafood goods ; I ate 3 slices! Yum!

MoMo cafe is located at Ayala Triangle Gardens in Makati City. It used to be located at Robinson's Ermita but they changed venue since they cater to a different market as per Ms Gwen. Good move indeed. 12 lifestyle bloggers were chosen by Neutrogena Philippines to discuss about  an issue to most women like us. Skin Dehydration. Sir Gab and the whole Neutrogena team even brought in this cool device which measures skin's hydration upon touching the skin.

The team, discussing dehydration

I rated 46, which was normal but bordering on dry. Normal skin is 40-70. If youve been reading my blog lately, you would know that Ive been breaking out badly, and on the verge of healing up. (Hooray for safeguard + M2 Skin Refinish). As a Neutrogena brandvocate, we have the special task of listing
our day to day activities that contribute to skin dehydration (ouch talk about revelation!)

Chanel Teint Innocence Compact Review

This review is long overdue, I don't even own this now (sold it off hehe)

It's a nice foundation, but not for me, still on the search for my holy grail..According to Chanel's description:

Innovative oil-free compact foundation offers luxurious glide-on application. Provides ideal medium coverage, while still revealing skin's natural beauty. Delivers greater colour purity for an even, luminous complexion.

My Happy Experience With Saya

I have read a lot of good things about having a baby sling/carrier. (See previous posts) and I have tried several kinds. Here are my thoughts on those, and also my choice as the best sling ever! This is not a paid advertisement and I bought my Saya at fabnaima.multiply.com

Apologies for the lack of color/makeup. I'm recently rebuilding up my stash since when I got pregnant I hated cosmetics and gave away or sold off most of them. Stay tune for my shopping sprees since I MISSED MAKEUP so much!

1. Pouch - It's a piece of cloth that's closed and you just slide the baby in. No size adjustments so you have to get the perfect size. I got the small size from Indigo Manila. This was my first carrier. I found it very convenient since it's just wear and go. But when my baby turned 2 months, he couldnt fit, and the medium size would be too big for us. It's not the size of the pouch but the width, he's a fat baby so he's very uncomfortable with this, and it couldnt be stretched (fabric not stretchable) maybe I should try other pouch brands but I only know Indigo's so far.

2. Sling - I kept on thinking if I would buy this, but before I got to purchase It I tried it at EcoMart at Serendra, they assisted me on how to place it, adjust and use it. But alas, I couldnt get the hang of it so I didnt buy it.

 3. Saya - It's like the best of all worlds of carrier. The convenience of a pouch, the versatility of a sling, and the comfort of a wrap. And baby geof loved it! We took it anywhere! When he was smaller he loved the pod position, but when he grew and my baby loves to explore his favorite was the kangaroo and even fall asleep in that position. It's a HUGE help when we go to clinic checkups, mall, church, birthday parties. He was never fussy, and for me, I was never tired! Think of carrying him the whole day.
My baby is the type of baby that doesnt like to be put down, so thanks for Saya for making me, and my baby, Ma-saya! :)
