What to Catch Up This Weekend (January 11-13)

Yay, it's Thursday! Tomorrow is another T.G.I.F. moms...
Here are things you and your family can look forward to this coming weekend.

Les Miserables now back to the silverscreen

Not really a fan of Victor Hugo but I guess this movie adaptation will rock since it's definitely star-studded. Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman, anyone? Well, with Amanda Seyfried, and Russel Crowe...Sure, please! Watch this trailer moms.

Aside from Les Miserables, Life of Pi is also now showing. More about faith and redemption. This one's available in 3D as well.

Then of course moms, who would not love shopping especially when it's sale? Holidays are over but you can still treat yourself for a mini shopping. Take advantage of MOA's end of season sale or Robinson's Dept. Store clearance sale.

SM Mall of Asia END OF SEASON sale (70% off on selected items)...

...and Robinsons Department Store clearance sale (also 70% off)

Hmmm. Hubby's about to come home and we're going to buy a bath tub for baby. Maybe we can go to Robinsons later since MOA is quite far from us. But well, yeah if you're not up for movies or shopping, there are other activities you can join into. Like a well-being retreat? Yeah why not? Sometimes it's nice to take a break from taking a stroll at the mall.

Ginhawa will be having a two-day retreat from January 12-13 at the Assumption Retreat House in Antipolo. If you are interested kindly email ishilta@yahoo.com :) 

A Treat for Thy Feet: Caribbean Flip Flops

I was wandering at Save More a while ago when my eye catches this pair of floral slippers. I was really supposed to buy a new pair since my Ipanema slippers are already overused. Ipanema is a bit costly for  slippers so I guess I won't be buying from that brand anytime soon. But I super duper love the quality of those Brazilian flip flops. It just happened that I am broke. LOL.

But here's what I have for today.

Think of summer field! I love the girly, eye-candy design. This one is size 7 and it just costs P229.75. It's my first time to buy from Caribbean but I must say the brand is also a great find. My feet love this pair because they're really comfy. And it's perfect for my morning walks as I am heavily preggers right now! :)

Blistex Lip Tone Balm Review

Look what I found from the drug store today--Blistex Lip Tone! If you are after lip balms which complement the natural look of your lips, then this one might be the one you are looking for. Of course, I tried it on right away and I must say this one's worth the buy (only P80).

Based on the packaging, it helps relieve cracked or chapped lips, helps protect lips from the drying effects of wind and cold weather, and helps prevent sunburn. It's actually a lip protectant with SPF 15. However, when I applied it, it feels minty on my lips. Maybe it's because of the natural plant extracts on the ingredient.

Max size. I guess this lip balm and I will stay together for a long time. 

Rating: 5 over 5

Will buy again? Maybe! Let's see. 

My Preggy Food Jag: KitKat Wafer Fingers

If you were pregnant or currently pregnant, you might have experienced this weird thing "craving". I read from the Baby Center that these cravings women experience during pregnancy are related to hormonal changes. So blame your hormones the next time you'll ask for something sweet or something sour.

But more than just the hormone-related thingy, I also read from somewhere that cravings are linked to what your baby needs. Let's say, you suddenly get addicted to citrus...that means your baby might be needing more vitamin C. In my case, I find KitKat Milk Chocolate a great buddy during pregnancy. But this little creature inside of me don't just settle for anything sweet. He actually did not like Magnum Ice Creams. I threw up in the bus after eating my Magnum. That was an embarrassing experience.

How about you? How's your craving?
