How to Unlock the Perfect Staycation for an Amazing Weekend


When you’re 30-something and life offers you a gift that you had the good sense to receive it - the ability to pick hotels based on their pools, awesome breakfast, and extraordinary services. Nah, just kidding! I find beauty in the most unlikely of places. I collect memories and experiences that help reveal all the blessings rooted deep within me.


I take time to enjoy my life.

 But the emphasis on this post is to remind you that you also need a good R& R every once in a while. To end our August the awesome way, I booked my family an overnight getaway to a little-known hostel near my place last weekend. Surprisingly, it’s not the typical extravagant Europe trip you’ve always dreamt of. A totally different from that long drive out-of- town fun in the sun you look forward to and away from the gazes of the overcrowded tourists, we went for an instant vacay at neighboring Bansabai Hosteling International through Booking.com. Sure, it’s not a deluxe 5-star, we’re not flying first class or does it involve neither an airport nor jet planes but I’m not complaining, as long as I have WIFI, AC and swimming pool to us, I can curl up and entertain myself with basically anything. Simple things, my friends. Lol.

 Sometimes, the impeccable adventures are just right in your neighborhood, STAYCATION AT IT’S FINEST! You don’t need to spend a fortune to make sure your plans and trips are pointed in the “what-the-cool-kids-are-doing” direction. Or maybe it does but the only incredible part? We never pay full price! I prefer to brave the road less traveled knowing it’s the perfect experience for me at this moment. If it brings me the people, family, and experiences that help me stay connected to my purpose then I chose to take that flight.   And to be honest, that’s the only luxury I can actually afford FOR NOW. haha! But just because you booked yourself a 5-day beach getaway on Christmas day doesn’t mean you can’t go on a small trip just then.

Irresistible Me Diamond Flat Iron Review: Is it worth it?

I started using flat irons since I was 18 years old (well, that was 12 years ago?) and I’m amazed at how the industry of hair straighteners had come. Man, I think we're missing out on some great deal. Flat iron over the years, We all know the humble beginnings of hair comb or some may call them hair thongs which are made of two rods heated to straighten the hair. I never get to use this one as I was introduced to the second generation of hair straighteners and that was using a standard home clothes iron. Nah, I mean the basic flat irons made with metal plates and few heat settings. Not until the early 2000s when I saw this model with ceramic plates that most people use today. Ceramic is by far the most popular material for this product as it is both inexpensive and actually safer compared to the clothing iron or heating rods back in days. Depending on your hair type, ceramic plates are believed to lock in moisture and protect hair color. But with a lot of this model...

Simple Mother's Day Celebration

My persona has changed since I gave birth to Chloe and you may be wondering how much adjustment I am dealing with? I’m talking about a massive 360 degrees turn of personality from young-and-self-centered-me to a-feeling-40-year-old-lady who have a say to almost everything (solicited or not)! In short I’m from blah to blah blah blah and blah. Lol! Everyone who knows me will tell you how extremely quiet I am. When asked about certain topic or opinion I’m completely mum thinking that whatever I have to say wouldn’t matter anyway, because well, I’m afraid I lack the experiences and guts. But I realized, with a new responsibility in mind I can do something truly great in this lifetime. I can be the voice of the voiceless through my writing. That’s when I took my blogging to a whole new level a.k.a the annoying proud parent. I think Chloe wants me to die with sweetness ayie :) And this mother’s day I want to give emphasis and address the poor health care (OR THE LAC...

Amazing Fun Time in the Bath with Pout Care's Best Products

Hi Mommies, Is shower time always a struggle with your toddler? Here are few tricks I borrowed from other mommies that might help you turn bath time into a super fun and amazing mommy-baby bonding :) When Chloe refuses to take a shower, I try to make it fun by adding bubbles and her favorite toys in the tub. Once she sees me carrying her toys and towel to the shower room, she will follow right away. I even squeeze a little bit of shampoo for extra bubbles and splash it happily just to keep her busy. I sing silly songs, nursery rhymes, play ball games and pretend like we are swimming in a big wide pool. But a few weeks ago I was in a dilemma with Chloe's thinning hair due to hair breakage and hair fall. Her hair tends to get dry so I try to get away from applying shampoo straight to her hair and managed to use a wet washcloth when rinsing instead of directly pouring water to her head. Then, inst...
