Fangirl Chronicles | Super Junior + Park Yoochun + Big Bang.

Amidst the brouhaha that is the Big Bang Alive Tour in Manila, the fact still stands that I am first and foremost, a Super Junior fangirl.

Today was a good day to stay at home (no classes today for the little man) and receive my shipment from YesAsia firsthand. Inside the package was my copy of Sexy, Free, and Single version B. And just my luck, I got a Teukie photocard!

My fellow Nappeun Yeoja and SuJu fangirl Liz tells me this is a sign that I should pay more attention to Teukie, who will be enlisted in the military soon. He is actually my first bias in the group, but lately I only have eyes for Siwon.

And you really can't blame me for that. I mean, look at those chocolate abs! :)

Speaking of Siwon, I finally got to watch Skip Beat, in between the currently airing Kdramas that I'm also watching (online) right now. And at last, he has found his way to SM City San Pablo, together with Donghae.

My little man is an ELF, too!

Yes, they're Bench endorsers, and from what I've heard from Mr. Ben Chan - owner and founder of Bench - the boys are coming to Manila next month.

Excited? You bet I am!!!
Must. See. Siwon. Must. Must. Must!

Picture bomb smiling from behind! Haha!

Or else I'd be singing to the tune of Sorry, Sorry, just like last January when he flew all the way to Manila without prior notice. Siwonnie, I need two weeks notice at least, arassoyo? 

Anyhoo, my Radish Doll also made it to my doorstep today. If you're a JYJ fan or have watched The Rooftop Prince, then I'm sure you know who Radish Doll is. Pig Rabbit now has someone to keep him company.

Radish Doll + Pig Rabbit = kyeopta :)

My Big Bang Alive Tour Lightstick came in today, too. And guess what? I still don't have tickets yet!

Of all the days that my internet connection had to conk out, it had to be on the first selling day of the Alive Tour tickets. Talk about irony and sheer bad luck! The VIP seats are all sold-out since Saturday night, and so are most of the Lower Boxes. Now I really have no choice but to go for the Upper Box. But not General Admission, please!

I'll see what I can do tomorrow, when I go to SM and purchase my concert tickets from here. I hope it won't be as painstaking as last Saturday, when VIPs had to stand in a queue for hours just to buy tickets for the concert.

The little man wants to watch the concert, too.

If only I could take him along, I would. And if only the ticket prices won't cost me my arm and leg! :)

Spud 'n Squishy Baby Shop | Spotlight + Giveaway!

Running an online store is not a walk in the park. I know, because I used to be an online seller myself.

Despite the challenge, it was fun for the most part - and quite lucrative, too. But after giving birth to my son, I found it even more challenging - if not impossible - to juggle mommy duties, household chores, plus managing an online store all at the same time. I eventually gave up the latter, after being active in the online marketplace for almost five years.

And that is why I take my hat off for mompreneur Jade - online seller, and mother of two. She is the woman behind Spud 'n Squishy Baby Shop, an online retail store that provides eco-friendly, natural/organic, top quality products. 

The store was named after her two kids, whom she fondly call 'Spud' and 'Squishy'. Aside from being her inspiration, the two boys act as quality control inspectors, too. Most of the products available in her store have been tried and tested on Spud and Squishy.

And because Jade has kids of her own, she knows that every parent wants nothing but the best for his/her child without having to break the bank. As such, Spud 'n Squishy Baby Shop provides its customers with best-quality products at practical and affordable prices. Guaranteed safe for babies and eco-friendly, too!

Just recently, Spud 'n Squishy launched 'eSPUDrilles' - a new and exclusive line of espadrilles for babies and toddlers. With prices ranging from Php 370 to Php 410, and designs for both boys and girls, these eSPUDrilles come in eco-friendly, reusable pouches, too!

Little girls are in for a treat with these cute and colorful hair trinkets by Dainty Ashley. There's an array of designs and colors to choose from, and prices range from Php 160 to Php 185 only.

If your child is already schooling (like mine), here's a fun way to jazz up their uniforms - LittleLife Animal Daysacks! These ladybugs, bumblebees, and butterflies are roomy enough to hold snacks, nappies, extra clothes, and even toys. And they're currently on sale at Php 800 only.

Now here's the best part.
Jade is giving you all, my dear readers and followers, the chance to win goodies from her Spud 'n Squishy Baby Shop! She's giving away these Cartoon Towel Bibs to ONE lucky reader! And the winner gets to take home THREE Cartoon Towel Bibs of his/her choice!

I'm sure you all know the drill by now. Wait for the Rafflecopter to load, and earn entries by completing the tasks. The more tasks you accomplish (they're easy peasy!), the more entries you get. That means better chances for you to win!

Good luck, and have fun!

Lavish and Luxurious | Pevonia Botanica Dry Oil Body Moisturizer.

Pevonia Skincare Philippines is a generous giver. They're having giveaways left and right - almost on a bi-weekly basis, I reckon. I'm a regular when it comes to joining giveaways, and when I learned that I won the July 12 giveaway, I was stoked! Not only did I win a prize, I actually bagged one of the most coveted and best-selling product from Pevonia Botanica's Body Care/Daily Hydration line!

Yes, I'm still up at 1 in the morning.

An elite brand of natural skincare products, Pevonia Botanica is the choice of prestigious spas worldwide. Its wide-range of spa treatment products guarantees only the most relaxing spa experience while addressing your skin's concerns. Its 'at-home' product line gives customers the chance to enjoy healthy, nourished skin without having to leave the comfort of their homes. Thankfully for me, I was given the chance, too!

My prize came in last Thursday, moments after the little man and I got home from his school field trip. The Air21 delivery guy was like, tailing our vehicle from behind. Haha!

Now look, here's what I got!

The Dry Oil Body Moisturizer - a lightweight, non-greasy body spray that tones, nourishes, and revitalizes the skin. It contains Safflower Seed Oil,  Macadamia Nut Oil, Aloe Vera extract, and Squalene that gives the skin a protective, moisturizing veil and a radiant, healthy glow.

It's also packed with Lavender and Chamomile extracts that leaves the body with a light, fresh scent. I smell a wee bit of musk here, which is good since I prefer musky scents over the fruity, floral ones.

It comes with a spray pump that spritzes just the right amount of oil you need - neither too little nor too much. The packaging itself is classy looking. It's made of biodegradable and fully recyclable materials, too.

Like all of Pevonia's products, the Dry Oil Body Moisturizer contains safe and all-natural ingredients. Best of all, they're a cruelty-free brand - absolutely no testing on animals. Yay, Leaping Bunny!

There's so many reasons for me to love this product - from its sleek and ergonomic packaging, its aromatic scent, its all-natural, eco-friendly ingredients, all the way to the silky smooth, moisturized feel that it gives my skin.

I have one grievance, though.
The price! This 200 mL bottle costs a whopping Php 3,120! (See? I told you Pevonia PH is a generous giver.) So unless I win another giveaway, I have to use this luxurious dry oil sparingly, lol!
