Pampers launches their Newborn Kit this April 14 only on Shopee's Brand Spotlight!


After nine long months of carrying your baby in your womb, having gone through the different changes in your body for three trimesters of pregnancy, here comes the fourth trimester. Yep, that exists! 

The fourth trimester is the idea of a transitional period between birth and 12 weeks postpartum during which your baby is adjusting to the world and you’re adjusting to your baby. It's hard and overwhelming, I know. Been there, done that. Having to go through the changes and the pains in your body while having to take care of your newborn. That's why it's important that every mom gets all the support they need from the people around them. A mom needs to recover physically and mentally to be able to take care of her newborn. And sleeping is going to be a luxury. So you have to be aware of the reasons that might cause your baby to stay up at night. One of which is a full diaper. That's why it's important to invest in diapers that will keep your baby comfortable and protected all night long. As an experienced parent, I can say that Pampers diapers worked for us!

And, I have good news for you mommas. Pampers is launching their newest product, the Newborn Kit, on April 14 only on Shopee's Brand Spotlight!

5 voices in your head that you immediately need to shut out


Have you heard about negative bias? It's a psychological standpoint, wherein people gravitate toward negative information even if something positive is equally or more present. People tend to remember negative words more than their positive counterparts. Eventually, these words evolve into internal voices that induce doubt, anxiety, panic, and other unpleasant emotions that keep a person from living her most authentic self.

While having negative thoughts circling the mind is natural, it also tends to erode one’s own self-esteem, eventually affecting one’s ability to function properly. Acknowledging them when they surface is an ideal first step towards shutting them down.

In celebration of International Women’s Day, last March 8, here’s a list of the most common intrusive thoughts that most women deal with:

The Invisible Battle: How to Watch Out and Speak Out against Verbal Abuse



In a recent Social Weather Stations survey, 1 out of 4 or 25% of Filipinos, aged 15-49, are revealed to have experienced some form of violence during the ongoing health crisis. This includes verbal abuse, which has become a hidden battle faced by most women on a regular basis.

Verbal abuse can often be confusing not just for the survivors but also for the abusers because it manifests differently—gaslighting, judging, blaming, name-calling, condescension, and verbal threats, among others.

Matching Mommy Daughter Bracelets

Threening in our white dresses and Personalized Matching Mommy Daughter
Bracelets by Sparkles by Erin
"A daughter is God's way of saying, 'Thought you could use a lifelong friend.'"- Unknown
Mom and daughters indeed have a special kind of bond. And I can say that becoming a mom has brought me even closer to my mom. I now understand her better, her ways of disciplining my siblings and me, and the things she did for us. Apart from the many life lessons she taught us, she also is a cool and kikay mom. I'm the youngest of four siblings, my sister and I have a seven-year age difference. So I was my mom's baby and enjoys dressing me up, which I also do now to my daughters, Athena and Brianna.

Although my mom would dress me up and doll me up when I was a little kid, I wasn't really into it growing up. Though I love to wear nice clothes, you'd rarely see me wearing any jewelry or accessories. And, I wasn't also the "twinning or matchy-matchy outfit kind of mom" well, not until recently. I suddenly began enjoying wearing "threening" outfits with my daughters and realized that it wouldn't be long until they'd want to do this with me. So I am cherishing these moments with them. 

And just recently, we got our first-ever matching mommy daughter bracelets from Sparkles by Erin. Yay! 

Usually, I just get twinning accessories for them, so I was really excited about this. 


We received it at perfect timing because right after the kids' exams, we went on a quick trip to Tagaytay. So we took the opportunity to dress up and have our photos taken with our bracelets!

Look how pretty they are, they even have our names on them!


Sparkles by Erin is an online shop selling handmade and personalized mom and baby bracelets for as young as newborn to adult sizes. They have been in the biz for 3 years since 2018, which really only started as a hobby until early last year when the owner decided to give it more focus given today's social and economic situations.

What makes their items unique?
  • Bracelets are available for as young as newborns. It's very rare for you to find bracelets made for babies, right?
  • They take pride in their products for being safe because they use a fixed wire to make them, thus it is impossible for little hands to break under normal conditions. (Of course, it is advisable for parents to still practice caution as the bracelets still contain materials that are choking hazards. )
  • Can be personalized with a name or statement at no extra cost.
  • Customizable - choose your preferred bead color, lock and wire finish.
  • Classy & charming designs
  • The materials they use are 14k gold electroplated brass
  • Non-tarnish
  • and hypoallergenic.

When you buy from them, your items will come in a dainty jewelry box and pouch.


I just realized that matching bracelets are something we can continue using even as they grow up. They may feel awkward wearing matching outfits but not bracelets, right? Haha! This momma is just being hopeful.

Anyway, Mother's Day is just right around the corner. These matching mommy daughter bracelets would be a perfect gift! Get a pair each for you and your mini-me/s, or include them on your wishlist and have someone purchase them for you as a gift. Get one for your mom too, or gift your mommy friends. I'm sure they'll love it!

Check out Sparkles by Erin's website for all their designs or have them customize them for you.
