I have a couple of discoveries, musts and needs for the rainy season and all seasons! And by the way, to all the mothers out there, happy world breastfeeding week to us! Celebrate with some treats on here, continue reading!
Ysabelle’s Anti-Mosquito Cologne
It’s so perfect for the rainy season! I’ve been using this constantly and it’s so easy just to spray instead of having to lather it like anti-mosquito lotion. I also prefer liquid spray so my little one won’t feel sticky – I know I would hate it, and I don’t want him to be uncomfortable. Especially with my very wriggly baby! It smells so good too with a scent of lemon and citronella that makes it super effective! When the rainy season started, I saw some mosquito bites on my little one’s legs and it’s pretty scary especially with the dengue outbreak. After using this continuously daily, I have not seen one bite!
Coobie Nursing Bra
I bought a cheap nursing bra in a department store and it worked fine but I was so shook having tried this bra! It’s sooo comfortable and supportive, the material is so luxuriously soft and it’s heaven on the nipples – especially if yours are on fire with so much breastfeeding! My ratty nursing bra was also so hard to clip and unclip – I guess you get what you pay for and having such a quality nursing bra is so vital. Especially when you really are committing to breastfeeding or like me, you just figured it out late into your breastfeeding journey. Make the investment and you won’t regret it! I am also happy to share that on my birthday week there is an exciting sale on Coobie and ends on my birthday, August 7! Grab yours now!
Sorella Garments
For the non-nursing moms, Sorella Garment’s
brassieres and underwear are so supportive not just for your breasts but for your butt too! When you shrink into your sexy momma bod,
you would want new and supportive underwear. And momma, replace those old ratty panties! You would need new ones to feel like your old self – or your new self, a sexy new momma! Don’t neglect yourself and sometimes you just need a little somethin’ somethin’ to remind you of that! Do it for you, and for hubby too.
Galactobombs
What really reminded me of this when I tried it is it’s like galactic – out of this world! It’s funny ’cause having looked this up ‘galactic’ actually means relating to the milky way galaxy.
I would have one or two cookies for a quick snack and I would literally be shooting out milk (take note, it was a stream and not just spraying)! Never experienced that before and certainly this was the significant reason (Also with caring for yourself such as drinking water, eating meals, etc)!
Universal Stainless Kitchen Set
My husband and I are fairly newly weds and we don’t have much kitchenware and getting a Crown Signature set from Universal Stainless Ware was a great start for our cooking needs. It’s a 7-piece set which will cater to all basic cooking at home. It’s super easy to clean – perfect for the busy stay at home mom like me, no more scrubbing with it’s mirror polish finish! And as new parents, it’s definitely easier now to just order your set from their Lazada shop here.
Reformage Mousse Cream & Gold Moisturizing Soap
Skin Enhance has skin products that make your skin feel luxurious when you use them! Their Gold Moisturizing soap (that also has a whitening version) and their Mousse Cream are my particular favorites! The soap lathers so smoothly when bathing but not too thick like commercial brands from the grocery stores. The Mousse Cream is pretty interesting since it protects your skin from UV radiation at the same time it’s a face cream! It combats premature fine lines and deep wrinkles. This month I turn 27 and I hate to admit I’m reaching 30 and this is definitely needed for prevention!
Timeflys Baby Monitor
We have such an inconsistent internet connection and I think that’s mostly common for most households here in the Philippines which is why I fell in love with this baby monitor right away! It’s rechargeable, it has a night light and a couple of lullabies. It has a small screen on the parent’s sort of ‘remote’ that’s super light and you can clip it onto your clothing. You can see the temperature in the room, change the songs and it’s volume, open the night light, and a two-way communication feature to comfort your baby if he wakes. The other stays beside your baby and you can hear him stirring and you can check on him. It’s such a great way to monitor your baby without having to worry since you would never lose connection with it and it has a wide range as well!
Ava’s Kitchen Spreads
I tried all of their flavors and everything is just so daamn good! It caters to all kinds of tastes you prefer and they’re so natural and healthy – you can actually see the bits almonds, herbs and malunggay (moringa)! I also kept it in the fridge as per instructions of storing it and even from the cold, they’re suprisingly very spreadable especially on warm toast! It’s a super healthy spread compared to others if you’re watching your lactation plus your weight! We all need to shed that baby weight, right?
Pomona Spreads
For those who don’t lactate, Pomona spreads are an interesting and healthy option! They are so yummy and also healthy – they have no preservatives and homemade. You would really know that actually with the way you have to store them – you should definitely keep them in the fridge because they are made from fresh ingredients! As a mom, I really am particular with the stuff I eat if they’re fresh and organic. The flavors are so yummy too such as Banana Butter, I mean how yummy does that sound? Even better when you get to try it! It’s heavenly and you get to satisfy your sweet tooth with this instead!
Hope this helped when deciding what to snack on, and stuff you actually need for daily living. These may be ‘flavors of the month’ but definitely investments for the long haul too!
Again, happy world breastfeeding week! Let’s support mommas out there and encourage them wherever they are on their breastfeeding journey and however they choose to feed their babies!

to optimize your space, it’s best to use breastmilk bags. And use one that is trusty and sturdy! You wouldn’t want a bag breaking on you – first of all, it would be a hot mess and second of all, it would really make you tear up! I know it’s happened to me once or twice and it was horrible! Pumping a full bag of milk is a lot of work that is why I suggest using
