Corelle Dinnerware Set

I had a chance to use a Corelle plate when I visited my husband's cousin. 

I was amazed because Corelle plates are lightweight with simple yet elegant designs.  It is also easy to clean because food particles especially rice doesn't stick to the plate.

From then on, I have this desire to own a set of Corelle dinnerware.  I checked on Corelle products at department stores and online stores and it cost more than the ordinary dinnerwares ... costs more that it did not fit my budget so I did not push through on buying a Corelle dinnerware that time.

Last September, we went to S&R membership shopping at Fort Bonifacio Global City because it was their last grand sale for this year.  I spotted this "buy-one-take-one" offer for a 16 piece Corelle dinnerware set for 6,499.50 pesos (approx. 152 US Dollars).  Hubby agreed to buy the Corelle dinnerware sets and I was happy because at last, we are using this stylish square Corelle Vitrelle Glass Dinnerware. 

The plates and bowls are made of glass and the mugs are made of porcelain.  Compared to other dinnerwares, even if we bought these items at sale prices, it is still pricey but it is all worth it.

Tortillos Corn Snack

Once in a while, I'm craving for salty foods and one of the foods that satisfies my craving for salty food is this Tortillos Barbeque Flavored Corn Snack.

I love this Tortillos Corn Snack since I was in high school.  So thin, crispy and delicious.  Yes, I know this is a junk food but it won't hurt if once in a while we indulge in this so-called "unhealthy foods".

The best partner for this Tortillos Corn Snack is Coca-Cola, their flavor just compliment each other that they are so perfect as snacks for all occasions but since I'm limiting my intake of sodas and colas, I just partnered this small pack of Tortillos with pineapple juice.  Hmmm ... yummy ... I just love the flavor of Tortillos Barbecue Flavored Corn Snack.

Safeguard Antibacterial Soap

I was using Safeguard as bath soap since I was young and I can say that my skin has gotten used to its formula so when I got married and have kids I try to protect my family against diseases brought about by bacteria by regularly using it as bath soap and hand soap.

Lately, there have been a lot of antibacterial soap available in the market that I was tempted to try these other brands.  Actually, we are already okay with the protection provided by Safeguard but just to satisfy my curiosity I tried other brands.

At first, there was no problem using other brands of bath soap but later on my son developed some rashes on his hands and legs, those skin part at the back of the joints.  I thought it will just heal after a few days but I was wrong.  The rashes kept on spreading so I decided to stop using the new brand of bath soap we were using and went back to Safeguard.  After a day, the rashes started to dry and was gone after few more days.  Now, I have proven that Safeguard is really tough on germs but mild on the skin so I don't have to experiment on other antibacterial soap.

Safeguard antibacterial soap has a lot of scent which are now available in the market but whatever scent we choose, it still gives us the same protection that we get from the original scent.  For now, we are using this Safeguard white with a touch of Aloe.  I bought this at S&R Membership Shopping at Bonifacio Global City last weekend and I was happy because it was on a buy one take one promo.

Johnny English Reborn

Picture from IMDb website
Yesterday my family and I went to see Johnny English Reborn.  The children were waiting for this movie to be shown in cinemas and they were asking us again and again if we can watch this movie so yesterday hubby and I gave in to their request.

Rowan Atkinson more popularly known as Mr. Bean plays the lead role as Johnny English and since we enjoy watching Mr. Bean, we were sure that we will also enjoy Johnny English Reborn ... true to our expectation, we really enjoyed watching the movie.  The children just can't stop laughing and my son who usually don't finish a movie and falls asleep, this time he was wide awake the whole time.

The story line is simple but with the antics of Rowan Atkinson, we just can't stop laughing from start to finish.  There's just no dull moments with this movie.

So if you want to have a good laugh and enjoy watching a movie with the whole family, Johnny English Reborn is just the right movie for you.

Dutch Mill Yoghurt Drink

Whenever I do my grocery, I always look for some other drinks to give my children.  Aside from the chocolate drink, pineapple juice, yakult and freshly squeezed calamansi juice that I serve my family, I'm still on the lookout for some healthy drinks that I can offer them.  This is to give variety to what they are drinking.

I saw this Dutch Mill Yoghurt Drink when I was looking at the beverage section of Parco Supermarket.  Dutch Mill is a yoghurt drink which is combined with fruit juices like orange, blueberry, strawberry and mixed fruits. 

Being a yoghurt drink, I know that Dutch Mill is good for our health.  The taste is loved by my children and even if this product is imported from Thailand, it is not so heavy on the pocket.  The 90 ml pack is priced at 7.70 pesos at Parco Supermarket.
