Mommy Writes Online

  From my previous post , I dealt with the pre-teen acne of my 10-year old daughter. I changed her shampoo and bought the most gentle facial cleanser I know. It didn't work. I observed that her skin had changed to combination skin. Her T-zone is oilier so her foreheads had pimples and her nose and chin have whiteheads.   I searched online about what are gentle yet effective products that I can use to help with her acne issues. I am also a user of COSRX products and I am often satisfied and happy with the outcome every time I use their products. I checked if there are available products for her age. However, there were no specific products for her age. I inquired in their official online store via Shopee Philippines about my questions and they were very accommodating.  I specifically asked about their ACNE HERO KIT MILD 4-step because I wanted mild products to fight her acne. I also read reviews of mothers who claimed that the kit was very effective for their kids. Wh...

Digital Way of Ipon Challenge 2021  Ipon challenge is a trending topic at the start of the New Year. I see a lot of posts on how to be successful in doing the challenge, how much to save in an ipon challenge, how effective the ipon challenge is. For me, it is alright to save money for emergencies. However, I see the ipon challenge as a challenge to save money that we can afford to forget and not use for at least a year. So, why not maximize the benefit of saving money? Given the COVID-19 pandemic, there are a lot of banks and mobile apps that allow you to easily handle your flow of money. You can quickly order and buy online, pay bills, and transfer money from one bank account to another. Most transactions are about money flowing out. If you will look closely, you can save more online by keeping your money in your bank account and investing it. If you can save more than Php 60,000 per year for the ipon challenge, then imagine the earning if you will put your cash in a trust fund or...

  Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.  - Proverbs 16:3 Bible Verse About Success  Do you have your favorite success quotes? As I searched and looked for quotes about success, this passage from the Bible had really captured my interest. What can motivate you more to push on with your goals and plans in life? It is true that a well-thought and well-planned goal is less likely to fail. However, there are times that things will not go our way. There may be unexpected bumps as we go on our way to accomplish our dreams. At some point, we may feel that it is already impossible to become successful.   Parenting Challenge: Change of Plans! Being a mother of three, I thought that I failed all my goals in life. For a while, I felt down seeing how my former classmates were succeeding in their chosen careers and businesses.  Some of my high school classmates thought I would be a successful doctor. When I was graduating in college, my r...

Pre-teen Acne My daughter turned ten this 2020 and she is really growing up fast. I can say that she has reached the puberty stage early. She started her menstruation a few months ago and, with it, she had to deal with acne on her forehead and more whiteheads on her T-zone. I never thought I will deal with this skin problem so soon. She is just still a baby for me! My firstborn and my only daughter.  I am actually more conscious of how here acne is flaring up. Sometimes, she will complain of some pain or itchiness from the bumps but, since she is still a kid at heart, she doesn't care much about how it looks or why there are so many pimples on her head.

S paghetti with Cheesy Tomato Sauce, Shrimp, Rosemary Recipe Because dinner without you becomes an experiment, my dear sissy 😂😂😂 It's supposed to be Spaghetti with Shrimp, Spinach, and Rosemary but there was no feta cheese so I picked a random ready-made chunky tomato sauce with three-cheese and hoped my experiment would have a good output. There I did the mixing and cooking of all the ingredients from the original recipe I planned to follow (except for the lemon) and added the sauce (not part of the original recipe). It smelled good, really... And my taste buds enjoyed it. Now, I wonder if you will enjoy it like I do.
