In my family, when shopping for household items like kitchen appliances, I have the upper hand on what to buy. But when it comes to other appliances like TV and gadgets, Jeff knows best. I have to trust him for his techie recommendations. Both of us agree that one important thing to consider is the brand. Honestly, if the brand is popular, I don’t read much the reviews online. Brand-conscious, yes, but this is only because we are spending our hard-earned money, we saved up for it, that’s why we deserve to have something with the best quality.
Have you considered buying Taiwanese brands for your home? Do you use Acer, Asus, HTC, Tatung, or BenQ? Well, these are Taiwanese brands and they all carry the Taiwan Excellence seal.
The Taiwan government launched the Taiwan Excellence campaign in the Philippines to help Filipinos distinguish the best Taiwan-made products. It is through this campaign that Taiwan can promote top quality Taiwanese brands and products among Filipinos.

Mustela is one of the baby products used by Gwen. I chanced upon this brand when they opened their Trinoma store in 2011, Gwen was around 7 months old then. They recommended Mustela Dermo-Cleansing Gel for Gwen at that time, they have a wide array of products but this one is from Mustela Bebe, a line for normal skin. Just read the review I made 3 years ago, I swear, your baby will smell so good from morning till night after using Mustela. Aside from being paraben-free, the scent is another thing why I bought Mustela even if its pricier than other baby products.
Imagine my joy when I was invited for media launch about Mustela’s latest innovations on skin care… At the event held at La Creperie Moderne, I was reacquainted with my favorite Mustela products and I got to know the other product lines.

Diaper changing with a toddler is different than with a baby. When Gwen was less than 1 year old, she behaves well that’s why changing nappies was a breeze. It’s a different story by the time she turned 1 year old and up. It’s hard to keep her still, andyan yung nasisipa ka pa during nappy change, or worse having poop in your hands (oops sorry!). That’s why we shifted to a Huggies Dry Pants when I couldn’t handle her kalikutan.
