A&D Holiday Shopping Guide: Warehouse Sales and Bazaars (December 11-13 Weekend)

Christmas is getting nearer and nearer. My December calendar is slowly filling up, holiday get-togethers are left and right. You can feel the Christmas rush with the traffic and that feeling when you're not done with your shopping yet. Eeeppp! But don't fret, here's a shopping guide for you this weekend!

Shop at the Kids Craze Warehouse Sale, only two weekends left! I went here three times and all of those times I didn't went home empty handed haha! I shopped for all my nieces, nephews and inaanaks here. Hot Wheels, Shopkins, Barbie, Fisher Price and more at really really good price!

 The famous World Bazaar Festival started last weekend! It's been two years since we last joined this. Not missing being a bazarista but I like going to World Bazaar even if I know where they came from. Heehee!

 Richwell Philippines which distributes Melissa and Doug, Crayola, Pigeon, Chicco and more is also having its Warehouse Sale!

 For your little bookworms, Scholastic and Adarna House are also having their Warehouse Sale for as low as Php20 at Scholastic and Php60 at Adarna House! 

 For Bento Fanatics, Bento Mommas is having their Biggest Season Sale with everything at 50% off!

Ready, set, go! Happy Shopping Mommas!

A&D's Beauty Round Up and Holiday Gift Guide

I can't believe it's December na! It's 23 days until Christmas and 30 days until New Year! The countdown to Christmas actually stresses me out because it makes me think if I have missed any one of my friends I have to buy Christmas presents for. But! Good thing I shopped early this year, I'm so proud of myself! Heehee! If you're not done with your shopping yet, let me help you tick a few names off of your list with A&D's Beauty Roundup! This list is especially for busy people like working moms and people always on the go!

1. Caronia and GirlStuff Nail Care Set
I like going to nail salons when I have the time but since I'm almost always busy and on the go, I do my nails on my own and when I do, I like to add more pampering with foot soak and foot scrub and top it off with my new favorite brand of nail polish, Girlstuff Nail Polishes!

Nail Care Set includes Caronia Nourishing Creme, Caronia Revitalizing Soak and Wash, Caronia Renewing Scrub, Girlstuff Nail Polish and Girlstuff Matte Top Coat.

2. Zenutrients and Macadamia Natural Oil Hair Pamper Set

Another nice gift to busy moms who wants to have her hair pampered but can't find the time! I've been hearing great things about Macadamia Natural Oil hair products and I was so happy when I received samples from the last Mothers Who Brunch (which I still have to blog about!). I loved it and I want to give it as gifts this Christmas! And to finish off your hair pamper session is Zenutrients Gugo Strengthening Hair Serum! 

3. Unilab's Beauty Pack

Sometimes we ran out gift ideas to give to certain friends and when that happens to me, I think what my friend is fond of. Some friends like food or calligraphy, and some likes skin care products and make-up! With Unilab's Beauty Pack, there's skin care, hygiene care and make-up, a complete set of what your kikay friend needs!

I love pH Care's newest variant, pH Care Naturals in Papaya or Guava Leaf Extract! Throw in those travel sized ones because who doesn't love travel sized anything?! 

Celeteque now has a make-up line, give her the gift of the best holiday lippie!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so keep those eyes free from dark circles with Celeteque's Brightening Eye Tuck and Dark Circles Enlightener. I'm sure your friend will appreciate this as much as I do!

For those lazy days of removing your make-up, Celeteque Make-Up Remover Cleansing Facial Wipes is super handy!

Sun protection is a must! Myra's Daily Sun Protect will be just perfect!

Happy Shopping guys! Always remember it's always the thought that counts so a thoughtful gift is always the way to go! Merry Christmas Mommas!

Still thinking of what to get your nephews, nieces, or friends? Looking for something unique to give them? Then here's one fun gift you can give them, Kracie Popin Cookin'!

Kracie Popin Cookin' is a Japanese DIY candy making kit. The first time I saw this was on YouTube. Y got hooked on watching all these Kracie Popin videos so I got curious too! She kept bugging me to buy her but I told her I don't know where to buy them then but now it's already available in the Philippines!!!

It looks so fun to do, right? It's like playing with clay but this one is actually edible! Fun and yummy!

I want to buy them all and just make them one candy kit a day. Hihihi!

Y was so excited when she saw the package! She wanted to do it right away but I told her to wait for her Ninang G because she also wanted to do it. Hahaha! Kracie Popin Cookin is not only for kids but for adult as well!

Thank you DIY FUN for sending these!

I brought the Kracie to our lunch at Ramen Nagi two weeks ago. Doing Japanese crafting in a ramen place, how apt! Hihi! The Ninang and Y had fun doing it.

Hello from Sid!

Here's what inside. The candy smelled so good!

We were making a mess in Nagi.

Rolling and rolling...

Ninang and Y's final products! So cute! But Y didn't eat them. Too pretty daw haha!
