Treasure Jar

My kids are no longer babies and for that I heave a sigh of relief as I am free of several responsibilities so Yey! for that. If there are some things though that make me miss those times when they were still babies, that would be about getting cute outfits (lol), trying more organic food offerings, and doing cloth diapering. But I digress because I will stay focus on the cute outfits, specifically the shoes.

When TipTap Soft Soles Shoes launched its 2012 Collection, I couldn’t help but gush, gush and gush some more! The shoes are awesome and how I really wish that my kids were able to have these when they were much, much younger.

Here are some of the TipTap Soft Soles Shoes 2012 Collection I took photos of during the 2012 Collection Launch:

We normally do not get out of the house on Sundays unless it is necessary to do so. We are like vampires, hah! We go out when the sun is setting low. Seriously,  we do that Sunday after Sunday with the vow to go out earlier next Sunday.

Last Sunday, October 21, was different though because we went to VitaPops Wacky Science Fair all the way to SM Mall of Asia.

At first the kids were not too excited on the prospect of having to travel far away when they just want to do stay home the whole day. In the end, they were happy we went and here are some photos to explain why:

Unilab, the country’s leading healthcare provider, introduced this innovative product recently to help children have fun while staying healthy.

VitaPops comes from Ceelin. VitaPops is the first & only pop rocks Vitamin C for kids that fizzles inside the mouth, which makes taking vitamins an experience that kids look forward to.

“We, at Unilab, are excited to introduce this vitamin that will definitely make taking Vitamin C a fun, memorable experience. VitaPops is the first & only pop rocks Vitamin C in the country,” shared VitaPops Product Manager Joseph Aruta. “Aside from its unique format, VitaPops comes in a single-dose sachet making it more convenient for moms and kids to bring around, has 1/5 the sugar content compared to your regular vitamins and is formulated with Sodium Ascorbate making it tummy-friendly. With VitaPops, we hope to give moms & kids a healthy yet fun compromise.”

 VitaPops sachets are available at supermarkets and drugstores at SRP P10/sachet.

I miss my virtual friend Grey Mom

No, she does not work for mynursinguniforms.com for Greys anatomy scrubs but she is a big Grey’s Anatomy fan. I don’t know is she still loves the show. Somehow we have stopped communicating when she stopped blogging. In fact it was a little over a year when she last wrote a blog post and I put in a comment.

I guess I am not meant to be a fan of medical-related shows like the one previously mentioned because I prefer police slash murder investigations slash high adrenaline kind of tv series.

I tried the zombies but I only watched season one.

The series I followed through from beginning to end are more on the type I wrote above ^ and the same genre is true with the books I read. Having said that, let me say I am looking forward to seeing Alex Cross on the big screen.

I was supposed to write a review about Swish Breath Spray but I totally forgot about it. How did I remember? The small bottle in my bag has maxed out the sprays it can give, lol!

Here is a photo I took when I got the Swish Breath Spray products (along with Swish Mouthwash) for review:

Let me write down why I like this product, Swish Breath Spray:

• alcohol-free
• kills germs and bacteria-causing bad breath
• convenient to bring anywhere because it is small
• can last till 100 sprays
• retails at around Php105 – 110 ( That’s about one peso for every spray)

Here is my Swish Breath Spray along with some Kikay essentials in my bag:

Swish Breath Spray, like the Swish Mouthwash have Arctic Chill and Peppermint Fresh flavor variants.

I used to have these mint candies in my bag that I pop in my mouth when I feel the need to freshen my breath but I think these contributed to my having toothaches before because these are not exactly sugar-free.

Swish Breath Spray and Swish Mouthwash are available in supermarkets, drug stores and convenience stores nationwide.
