These are the things I did this month to take care of myself better.

This year, I promised to think of myself, take care of myself and maybe? prioritize myself a little bit more. For about 7 years now, I always prioritize my family, my kids over myself. I dedicated my time, I sacrificed my schedule for my family. This year, hopefully, I can balance everything and think of myself.

A happy mom = happy kids 🥹

Zo Skin Health Exfoliating Cleanser

I had a bad case of acne (like cystic ones!) since January and nothing worked except for this! Now that it has dried up, I have acne marks all over my face.. My skin type is oily on the T zone and a little bit dry on the cheeks btw just in case you want to try Zo Skin Health products, you can answer the quiz on their website so you’ll know which products to get. I, however, consulted my problem at Belo Clark with a dermatologist. Then, she suggested Zo Skin Health products to solve my acne problem.

Next, since I’m not getting younger I have white strands already that I need to maintain sadly. I used to have just plain black and experimented on the color once in a while but now unfortunately, I have to maintain the roots. I tried Michiko Hair Color shampoo which is cool because you can just do this yourself at home. Very convenient! Also, it has no pungent smell so perfect for moms with young kids like me!

Isn’t it niceee???

Nail Polish free for two months now! It’s just hard for me to maintain gel polish 😣

Marc Jacobs Perfect

I got a new scent! I’ve been using D&G Light Blue since my aunt gifted it to me. It was my fave when I was in High-school but not anymore. I think, I outgrew it already. Last year another aunt gave me a tester of Marc Jacobs Perfect and Daisy and I love both of them so I got Perfect recently in mini size. Top notes are Rhubarb and Daffodil; Middle note is Almond Milk; base notes are Cashmeran and Cedar. It feels “me”, smells like “me”. This moment “me”.

So funny it was described as

“The playful and bright fragrance, PERFECT MARC JACOBS Eau de Parfum for her is a comforting floral scent celebrating self-love and being #PerfectAsIAm.”

on Marc Jacob’s website. 🥹

Aside from these, I’m also indoor cycling at home using our stationary bike that we got ages ago.

I’m also journaling online using Canva. I’ll reshare the entries here as well.

I tried to catch up on sleep whenever our house help is here. She’s usually OFF on weekends though.

And last, we are doing our best to cook healthy Filipino meals at home like Sinigang, Nilaga, Tinola, Ginisang Ampalaya, etc.

That’s it for February 2025! 🥰
