Review: Chicco Shampoo

It was very timely that I won a gift pack from Richwell Club that contains Chicco products during the PMC 2nd Grand Eye Ball last November. Maxyn has consumed her soap and shampoo and it was time for me to open new ones.

I got two shampoos, a big bottle and a small one. Since November, Maxyn has been using the large bottle of Chicco shampoo everyday.

What I like most about this shampoo are the following:

It has a mild scent that lasts very long.
Maxyn is one active baby girl. She loves the outdoors. As soon as she wakes up from her afternoon nap and is done with her snacks, she will give you her slippers, a signal that she is ready to go out. Despite spending hours outdoors, her head does not smell like sweat. The fragrance of the shampoo is still in her hair.
It is tear-free.
Maxyn is in her exploratory stage. Since then, whenever she sees bubbles, she tries to catch them and put them in her face, close to her mouth, nose and eyes. Sometimes, she accidentally put some bubbles in her eyes but she never cried.
It has a clear color and thick consistency.
The clear color of the shampoo kinds of give me the feeling that it has few chemicals as possible. As mom, don’t we all want our kids to be safe from harsh chemicals? As for the thick consistency, even if I only use a small amount, the lather is always enough for Maxyn’s hair, very economical to use.

I am not sure how much each bottle costs since I got ours for free. But if ever we ran out of it, I will sure buy this product again.

Lights and Sounds at Ayala Triangle

I was so excited for Ayex’s school vacation last December. As soon as her Christmas party at school ended, we moved to my mom’s place in Las Pinas for a little vacation. Ayex and Maxyn had a great bonding time with their grandma and aunts.

Originally, I planned to visit several places with the girls while we were there, to make the most of our short vacation. I really wanted to visit a park with the girls because the malls were so crowded because of the Christmas craze. Luneta Park in Manila was our choice but we did not make it. Instead, we let the girls play in the village clubhouse every morning as soon as they woke up. The had so much fun running around in the bare feet.

I also wanted to visit the food bazaar that happens every Friday to Sunday in Alabang, which is really near my mom’s place. The other food bazaars in the metro were simply too far from us and that their schedule do not meet ours. Unfortunately, that did not push through as well for some reasons.

Fund Raising Through Bingo

Our home-owner’s association has lined up several projects last year and this year to improve our village. This is one of the perks I like in living in villages and subdivisions. The first is of course, secure living, the second is this, comfort living.

Early last year, they had bingo games to raise funds for a new steel gate for the main village entrance. They based all the patterns from a few online bingo variations. I did not know who won but I knew it was a huge success because after a few months, we already have the new gate.
