nice to know you wednesday + leap years

Today is one of those days that happen only once in 4 years + I guess being that it is so rare, it is that much of a big deal, them leap years! The people born today are celebrating their rare birthdays, too, + to that I send my greetings! Cheers! 😀

Today is also that time of the week again for Nice To Know You Wednesday + before I go on to our 5 interesting questions of the day, here is the winner for last week’s little giveaway:

congratulations, sis Mys! 😀

I am glad that one of the NTKYW regulars won! Congratulations, sis! I will send you an e-mail for instructions. + thanks to all who participated!

Okay, on to our 5 questions, I would love to read your endearing answers to these queries:

  1. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation where would you go?
  2. Where did you grow up?
  3. What is the last thing you watched on the tellie?
  4. What kind of car do you drive?
  5. Where would you retire?

My answers:

  1. There are just so many places I’d want to see if I have enough means + resources to travel, among them: Boracay, Puerto Princesa, Sagada, CamSur + a bunch of other beautiful destinations in our country, + Rome, to sample loads of pasta + pizza + visit the Pope, any island in the Carribean, England, to visit some of the interesting landmarks, including Westminster Abbey, The London Eye, London High Street + Princess Diana’s resting place. I would love to go to the US, too, to visit Disney World + the Harry Potter Theme Park. Oh, how I wish…:D
  2. I grew up in the same city, although in a different barrio here. It was a small barangay + all the people either know everyone else or are blood-related. It was a quiet place in the province, where we’d fly kites or ride our bikes with Papa on Sunday afternoons. I miss those laid back days + I sure miss being a kid!
  3. We were watching Pinoy Big Brother last night before we decided to call it a day. Although I enjoy the excitement that goes around the house, I especially love watching Tin, Biggle, Slater + Carlo, one character is actually getting into my nerves + I don’t think I can be as diplomatic as his housemates if I were there + he threw the antic at me! 🙂
  4. Fortunately I do not drive one {so why did I ask this question again? :)} but if I could, I’d go for one of those hybrid cars, like a Toyota Prius, perhaps.
  5. If I could, I would love to retire somewhere near the beach {so I can go swimming, jogging + do yoga by the shore!} with a little cottage and an organic garden patch on the side. Am not sure if I can afford to purchase a parcel of that land in this lifetime, though, so, I guess I can settle anywhere I can harness my budding green thumb {if I ever got one!} + grow my own tomatoes + stuff, with loads of greens in the horizon, a wide space where I can run + walk in the morning, + yep, don’t forget, a strong internet connection, so I can still update this mum blog, which is most probably a grandmum’s blog by then! 😉
I am looking forward to reading your answers, do link up here, right? + visit the other participants’ entries, too, to make it twice the fun 😉

product review: nivea baby products

baby products, product review, review, Nivea Baby

My little man has been a Nivea Baby Products user since he was a little baby. He was born with a very sensitive skin + when he was just a few months old he developed this rash/skin allergy that made his cheeks, neck + elbows red + blotchy. Since then I have been very careful with the products I use on his skin, to keep the allergies + the irritation that come with them, at bay.

It was a good thing I saw Nivea Baby Products one time I was browsing through racks upon racks of baby products on display at the baby section of this mall. What first caught my eyes was the note in the packaging saying that these products are hypoallergenic and reduce the  risk of allergies. Just what I am looking for exactly! I got the Smoothy Cream + the Head-To-Toe Wash for starters + I was hooked!

What I love about these baby products:

  • they are free from parabens, colorants + alcohol that may be harmful to my baby’s skin
  • they have especially skin-friendly ingredients
  • they are developed with dermatologists + pediatrician, + passed skin compatibility tests
