Product Review: Bite Block Insect Repellent Lotion

Bite Block Insect Repellent Lotion

Rainy Season means Dengue Fever Season. A big Red Flag for an expectant mom like me. I would not risk suffering from any form of illness at this stage, which is why I'm extremely cautious with my health and well-being (well, minus the sleeplessness and uncontrollable workaholic urge). I have been diligently cleaning and emptying any potential nesting grounds for mosquito eggs and replacing water in my plant vases. But lately, I've been getting so many insect bites wherever I go. So, I've decided to arm myself against these nasty bugs.

Back Pain, Pregnancy, and Sleeplessness

The past few weeks have been very tricky. I've been finding it harder and harder to find enough sleep for some reason. The longest sleep I've had in the past weeks was 10 hours, with 30 minutes being the least. I'm not sure if it's the anxiety regarding the long-delayed room renovation, excitement, or my uncontrollable urge to keep overworking myself that's keeping me up, day and night.

Happy Adventures with My Little Boy

My little boy and I are turning 35 weeks in 3 days, few more weeks til we get to hold him. After dinner, I was telling his dad how much fun baby and I have had in the past months. Since Day 1, baby and I have been partners-in-crime when it came to fast-food binges and insane cravings. Though still in my belly, we've been having so much fun in our 35+ weeks together.

Proper Diet and Healthy Snacks for Expecting Moms

Proper Diet and Healthy Snacks for Expecting Moms

Baby and I are now on our 34th week! Few more to go before we get to hold the little one.

During my 24th week visit, my doctor advised me to start on a high-protein diet and avoid food high in carbohydrates. Although I am not at risk of diabetes, being overweight (lucky that baby is taking in all the weight instead of me!), and was allowed to still eat anything I want, the doctor said it's important to maintain a proper diet to prevent gaining too much weight during the last few stages of pregnancy.

A Giveaway! Happy Mommy Adventures x Yeah Baby Accessories

Mommies, are you having a hard time looking for adorable and affordable hair accessories for your little princesses? Check out these super cute hair accessories from Yeah Baby.

What started as a hobby and a labor of love for her little girl turned into a business for mompreneur.
Yeah Baby Hair Accessories, hand-crafted with love by the very creative mommy, Jam Galingan-Punsalan.
Yeah Baby is an online shop owned by Jam Galingan-Punsalan, a stay-at-home mom to a very adorable two-year old girl, Jaleel.

Yeah Baby's Super Cute Baby Model, Jaleel, wearing the Red Hello Kitty Ribbon by Mommy Jam.

Mommy Jam, being a kikay, naturaly creative, and stylish mom, wanted cute accessories for her adorable little girl. She couldn't find quality yet reasonably-priced girl's accessories so she decided to make her own instead. She made cute little hairbows, ribbons, and other hair accessories for her daughter.

Friends and relatives loved her creations and started ordering from her. That's how Yeah Baby was started.

Being a mom herself, Jam handcrafts and sews each product with love, and uses only quality and baby-friendly materials.

Due to the popularity of her handcrafted hair accessories, Jam decided to quit her job and work on her business full-time. Her designs are definitely a hit with babies and mommies, as most of her creations are quickly sold out. Prices range from 66-199 pesos. Ain't that such a deal??? Mommy Jam also accepts custom orders.

Check out some of my favorites from Yeah Baby's super adorable hair accessories.
