Mommy In Vain

Being a mommy doesn't give us an excuse to not take care of ourselves. I am a full time mommy and most of my time are spent at home taking care of my son and doing everything by myself. But even so, I make sure to pamper myself and buy things that are essential and beneficial at the same time. 

These are my recent purchases and I am excited to use all of it. I can't help but buy these even if my current  stocks are not yet fully consumed. I have this tendency to use different brands in a day to day basis. Different smell. A different feel. Just great!

MY NEW FACIAL ESSENTIALS & BODY WASH FROM NEUTROGENA

For more than a month vacation here in Singapore, some of my beauty essentials that I brought along with me here are fully consumed already like my placenta and kojic soaps. I have no way of buying a new one here since I bought the placenta soap through a friend and the kojic soap at a famous drug store back home.

It is so typical of me that once a particular product is fully consumed, I usually buy something else. Something I haven't tried on. Something new to me. Something that is buzzing in the market. I really love the excitement of trying a new product on and will see the results in  few days, weeks or even months after using the product. Some showed good results, while some were not just right for me I guess. 

Days before my soaps were consumed, I downloaded allwomenstalk, an iPhone application. Randomly, I saw this post from Tracy Garret. I read it as well as some other interesting posts. So when I needed to have a facial wash, I already have the Neutrogena product in mind.
