EQ Dry Diaper Review

In my YouTube channel KimchiiMommy, I did a review on Sae Hee's diaper which is EQ Dry; it's a Filipino-made product. She is now a Medium size (6-11 kgs.).

EQ Dry Medium size- 36 pcs; 245 php at SM malls

Like:

• It has a breathable cover therefore it is suitable even for sensitive-skinned babies.
• It has no leakage.
• It's affordable.

Dislike:

• None

I tried Pampers and Huggies on Sae Hee but she kept having a diaper rash. In my opinion, there's really no standard "best diaper" because it depends on the performance and if baby is "at-home" with the diaper. The trick is to try it out yourself. For starters, you may ask your family or friends for preferences and just buy the smallest size; test it out with your baby and if it comes out fine then it's high-time to buy the biggest size if you may. But if it doesn't, then at least you wouldn't have much of regret buying it and you can easily ditch it because you will only have to finish a few pieces. 

Was this helpful? What diaper does your baby use? ^^

Love lots,

REVIEW: Belle de Jour 2012 Planner

I was a happy-go-lucky-anything-goes type of a person and I won't say that it was fine, it was chaotic!!! But I guess we grow matured as we age (???). hahaha! I'm now a mom to a 3 month-old baby and I can never be a chaotic person as I was,so I figured I should ditch the "old me" and say "hello" to a more organized "me". I have a hope that a planner would help me achieve my goal.

I have these reasons for getting a planner:

• I seemed to be born with an amnesia.
• I need to keep track of my activities especially pertaining to Saehee ( doctor's appointment, immunization schedules, things that she needs etc.)
• Record the bills and other payments' deadlines.
• Remembering birthdays, special events, meetings, get-aways etc.

 As I stroll the malls in Iloilo City, I was so unsatisfied with the planners that are for sale. Plain, boring, monotonous....sooooooooo not my type!!! Then I came across with the hype that's been on the online community regarding this "planner for the kikays". It took me a while to order though. I don't know why. ^__^

I finally got my hands on the most-raved about planner in the online community particularly in the Philippines. Taran!!!! Belle de Jour Planner!!!

Why I Dig it:

I have been looking for a foundie that would match my constantly oily skin + the effect of 24-hour sauna in the Philippines (LOL)  like, forever!  Then I saw this local online store which sells cosmetics so I started browsing thru the page and this CG foundie caught my attention. OIL FREE, CONTROLS SHINE--- bingo!!! Pa-try nga....

• It really is matte and you can see it after applying to your face.
• Blends well with my skin color.
• It doesn't give me a cakey finish.
• It's cheap.
• It's safe for pregnant women to use.

Some of its mishaps:

• It has a strong smell (I especially hate it now due to my heightened sense of smell a.k.a. pregnancy).
• The foundie is really difficult to release from the bottle; very thick consistency so I need to grab a Q-tip everytime I want to use it.
• I need to re-apply my setting powder or powder foundie maybe after 30 mins. or an hour because I can see my face getting shiny. I have to admit though that with this, it might be due to my pregnancy which increases the body temperature of a woman. So I have to do a follow-up review after 'lil jellybean comes out. 

Have you tried this product?
