Pak na Pak with Uni-PAK's Mackerel Sandwich + GIVEAWAY

Have you seen the videos of the recent chaos over the P8 Burger in the malls? The burger has 716 calories (😭). NKKLK. That's why I decided to prepare this healthy and nutritious sandwich with only 66 (kcal) for my family. 😍

Oily fish such as mackerel, salmon, and sardines are said to help against cardiovascular disease, prostate cancer, age-related vision loss, Alzheimer's disease and dementia. It's a good source of vitamin D, protein, some B vitamins and selenium. It's also a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, a type of fat that is good for our health.

Let me share with you the easy- peasy recipe of my mackerel Sandwich

Ingredients : 

1 can of 425g Uni-Pak Mackerel in Natural Oil, drained and flaked

2 tbsp onion, minced

1 tbsp lemon or calamansi juice

3 tbsp Mayonnaise

8 slices white bread

lettuce (optional)

salt and pepper , to taste

PROCEDURE

1. Mix the Mackerel , minced onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper

2. Spread the mackerel mixture on 4 slices of bread

3. Top with lettuce and close the sandwich.

Siyempre gusto ko may mapasaya kaya may pa giveaway si madam 😂

Black Hairspray is the best place to go if you are looking for wigs, weaves, lace front wigs, ponytails, braids and beauty supplies. 

They are a leading beauty company that also happens to be an Authorized Dealer for many top brands such as Milky Way, Freetress Equal, Sensationnel, Outre, Model Model, Isis Collection, Bohyme, Saga Remy, Goddess, Velvet, Janet Collection, Vivica Fox Collection, Hollywood, Zury, It's A Wig! and New Born Free, well, the list goes on. 

They were the first to offer a convenient, no hassle, 30 day return policy, price matching guarantee and offer in-house live chat customer service. 

I just loove their wigs!!! Aside from being beautifully gorgeous, they come in every style you could think of and best of all is the very high quality that each wig has. Look at these and be amazed:

And this is my favorite of all the styles I saw, the Drawstring Ponytail!!! I love fixing my hair like that. I dunno why, but when I tie my hair, they always find a way to escape my ponytail! Look at these!!! They have a lot of WOW in them. Really, look at these! 

Another thing I like about Black Hairspray is that they have a wide selection for products for manicure and pedicure! Manicure and pedicure, these two are my favorite beauty arts! And Black Hairspray just made it more exciting!

Getting A Car? Here’s A Great Advice!

2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV

There comes a time when you really are sure that you wanna get this or that. One of those “this or that” is getting yourself your very first car! 

Facing this situation can be very tricky. It is advisable to consult someone who has knowledge about buying cars. A person who can give tips on what to look out for. Could be the price, features of the car and what you and or your family needs regarding a family vehicle. After all, this is a very serious purchase. Can’t afford to make a boo-boo about these things. 

I remember how mom and dad purchased their latest car about a few years ago (a Kia Rio). A lot has to be taken into consideration. After all, a car is literally an extension of your home. 

Whether you have someone to consult about it or not, worry not! Because cars.com is here to help you out! Cars.com has every car that you can possibly look for. New and used cars!

They can help first-time buyers, do a comparison for multiple cars, find a service center for you, give a service estimate, service and repair advice, help with car maintenance 101, and so much more! 

Cars.com is all you need for every turn!

NIDO ADVANCED PROTECTUS 3+ & 5+ : Every mom's ally in giving NUTRITION for their children

Parents have tendencies to be overly protective of their children. As much as possible we want to guard them in anything and everything that would possibly harm them. We want to make sure they are always healthy and safe. But when doing this we are actually hampering their freedom, and their potentials. A child's desire to explore out of arm's reach usually sparks a semblance of fear in parents, prompting them to become restrictive of their little one's day-to-day activities at times.

The reality is parents cannot be with their kids 24/7. There are times when they simply need to be away from their children to fulfill other responsibilities, like going to work and attending to household chores.

Just like last August 12, I need to go around the activity area during the Nido Advanced Protectus 3+, Love That Protects activity held at Atrium, SM Megamall to take pictures and videos of what's happening and let #PrincessY do her thing. She first went to Color Me Love booth where she expressed her creativity by coloring templated artworks. She tried the Shout for Love on her own but wasn't able to evade the dangers of the forest through the sound-controlled game. We didn't went to Catch the Love Bug where we will be hugging to catch yellow hearts because she found a new friend, Sam, and opted to play with her. Lastly, we went to the Commitment Wall where we stated our commitment through our handprints and answered the question "How I show my love that protects ?" 😊 

Why I let her go and roam around and try the different activities on her own, you ask? Because I'm confident that she'll be alright, she will not easily catch cough and colds because she's a "Batang Nido" 😍. She's protected! I want her to explore and develop her potentials.

Color Me LOVE

Catch The LOVE bug

Shout for LOVE

Commitment Wall

Princess Y and her New Found Friend, Sam 😍

The different activities allowed us,  participants to demonstrate creativity and teamwork, and at the same time, provided us with an educational, fun-filled family bonding day with NIDO ADVANCED PROTECTUS 3+. 

What's new with NIDO ADVANCED PROTECTUS 3+? 

- it has Lactobacillus PROTECTUS, with the probiotic strain L. Rhamnosus, which not only helps protect children's tummies but also helps support their defense against pathogens in the upper respiratory tract.

Achieve Bold Beauty looks with Ever Bilena

Tired of the usual feminine and muted make-up looks? Step out of your comfort zone and go for something adventurous, fun, and vibrant! Take a page or two with the following make-up pegs from the Bold Beauty event hosted by Ever Bilena, the country’s leading cosmetics brand, and Ever Bilena Advance, its premium product line. 

Here’s how you can achieve the looks that make-up fanatics chose to interpret in the Bold Beauty event using only Ever Bilena and Ever Bilena Advance products:

90’s Beauties

90's beauties was one of many featured looks for the Bold Beauty event as donned by Luie Magbanua

Do an upgrade of the grunge make-up that defined the 1990s. Shade your eyelids with the Ever Bilena Eyeshadow Palette in Brown, line them with the Ever Bilena All Day Eyeliner Pen, and finish off your smoky eyes with Ever Bilena Thicklash Mascara. Of course, the 1990s face is never complete without a dark-colored lip shade, so go swipe on Ever Bilena Luxe Lipstick in Diva.

Berry Burst

Take inspiration from the bright candy hues found in nature with shades of the Ever Bilena Eyeshadow Palette in Pink for the eyes. Add a little definition to your peepers with Ever Bilena Superlash Mascara in Black, and complete the look with the Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick Vivid Violet. 

Color Shift

Amateur make-up artist Marlyn Ocampo goes all-out with the "Color Switch" look

It’s all about rainbow-colored style with Color Shift! Play around with the EB Advance 5 Shades Eyeshadow in Rainbow Blaze for the eyes, upper bones of your cheeks, and tips of your lips. Use the EB Advance Blush Duo in Golden Goddess for a naturally rosy glow. Polish it off with the EB Advance Supreme Lipstick in Kylie on your lips. 

Sunrise Pink

This show-stopper highlights the cheeks by applying a generous amount of Ever Bilena Cheek Blush in Shy from the apples of the cheek up to the temples. Let other parts of the face flatter this glowing look by using Ever Bilena Matic Brow Liner in Earth for the eyebrows and Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Skin for the lips.

Igari

Make-up enthusiast Glenda Candedeir tries the "Igari" by Ever Bilena

A popular, striking make-up look in Japan that is also known as “hang-over make-up,” Igari’s secret lies in the use of blush. To achieve this look, simply blend out EB Advance Cheek Color in Poppy and EB Advance Blush Duo in Summer in an inverted triangle shape from under the eyes down to the cheeks. Top off your Igari look with the EB Advance LTD Liquid Lipstick in Skinny Dip.

Make It A Memorable Experience for your Kids with Max's Birthday Parties

It's your little one's special day, so there's no stopping Mom/Dad when it comes to planning the perfect birthday bash. 

Kids wait all year to celebrate their big days, and with an amazing party theme, they're sure to have the best days ever.

I've been attending friends' kid's party at Max's and their themes were all the same. I thought that was the only theme Max's offers. Recently Princess Y and I got invited to attend Chickie Boy's (Max's mascot) 5th birthday party held at Max's Scout Tuazon. 

There, I learned that they have 5 themes to choose from ( Chickie Boy Party, Carnival, Outer Space, Super Racer, Princess Palace) , and they can even customize the party you want for your child through their theme enhancers.

Let me share with you the different party themes, party meals, premium party package and party options

Here's a snippet of what happened during Chickie Boy's party 

Have a fun and meaningful celebration and let your kids enjoy one-of-a-kind birthday party they will treasure forever. 

For inquiries, you may contact and book with them via 7-9000 (for Metro Manila) and for Provincial locations visit www.maxschicken.com

Happy mommies/daddies and kiddos

Queen Mama R , Princess and Princess Y in our favorite party theme- Princess Palace 😍

Thank you Gatch Gatchalian for having us ☺
