This month wasn't good in terms of my babies health including my big baby. All of the three got sick last week, they had high fever, headache and nausea. I am just so glad that I was fine and not affected of what they've got. I am also glad that they have an extra day off today due to the President's day. Hopefully, their bodies will fully recuperate and be ready to go back to school tomorrow. They are still coughing but seems to be feeling alright.

This is the main reason, I keep my active lifestyle because I don't want to be sick. Having a strong immunity system and strong body is important especially during the Winter months.
I don't go to the gym but we have a mini gym at home. Treadmill is my regular body when cold season rolls in and I can't do my regular walks outside. I don't walk everyday so when I am not walking, I am using the other things that I have. Love this new Aurorae Yoga Mat Tote that I got from Aurorae. I finally have something where I can put everything that I need downstairs when I am working out. O usually do two trips when I do my yoga downstairs but not that I have this tote, I can put everything theat I need in it.
This Yoga Mat Tote Bag can carry all the things that you need. It has plenty of room for standard and premium yoga mats that is up to 28 inches wide. As you can see above, I have my yoga towels, my jumping rope, bottle of water, and my yoga mat in there and there's still a lot of rom. The magnetic snap closures allow for easy access to your yoga accessories, clothing, and personal belongings and it's very easy to snap on. You can secure your valuables in the one external zip pocket or the one internal zip pocket.
When I work out, I always have my cellphone with me because I listen to music so the easy access for the cellphone pocket in interior is pretty awesome. The interior of this tote is fully lined with durable heavy duty polyester for easy clean up, and is designed in our unique Yogi Pose print pattern.
This tote is available in colors grey, purple, and stripe as shown in the photo below taken from Aurorae's website. I would have love the stripe but this purple is alright too because it goes p[erfectly with my purple towels. You can buy this via link or by visiting directly to the link I have provided above. This tote is on sale right now so if you need a yoga tote for your yoga mat and other fitness accessories, I highly recommend this!
I am supposed to hit the treadmill in a bit after I am done with this article. I am doing my laundry today so while I am doing that, I will take time to walk on the treadmill again. I cleaned and sanitized the whole house earlier today trying to get rid all of the germs and what not that brought by the sickness. I stripped down all our beds and washing all of it. I also replaced our toothbrushes with new ones, I always do that when one get sick. Lastly, the chicken that I started cooking in the slow cooker is smelling so good (makes me hungry!).
Alright, before you get bored with what's going on with my day, I will end this post with the yummy banana milkshake that I made yesterday. My husband decided to hit the treadmill so I rewarded him with this. Hope you all have a great week!

So how did your Valentine's day celebration peeps? Hubby and I just stayed home because both of our children was feeling under the weather. We didn't even go to church for the same reason. The kids were fevered for two nights and they are still recuperating from it. Although the fever is gone, the coughing is still bad. I am just glad that they are off today from school, it gives them an extra day to get well and hopefully get back to their own selves and go to school tomorrow.
We only exchanged cards and I cooked for our family date at home. For me, the best celebration of love is with your family. You don't need extravagant gifts to show your feelings for them. Just being there and showing them how much you care is enough.
Glad to have this month's Beauty Box 5 to play with. Staying at home doesn't mean you have to be looking dull, a little sparkle on and lathering up can brighten up your mood. Included in this month's box is Manna Kadar Beauty's 3 in 1 shadow - highlight and blush fantasy, Elizabeth Taylor's Thank Me Later eye shadow primer, Starlooks custom lip liner in sultry sangria, Epic Blend's premium lip balm, and Hemp Nation's kiwi mango body wash.
I love this custom lip liner in sultry sangria. A perfect tool to have if you want to create a trendy shade and look mauve-olous!
This 3-in-1 shadow highlight and blush in fantasy is perfect in creating a rose gold pigment look. A great way to accent your eyes and cheek with a soft glow. I don't use make up very often but for special occasion, a simple touch up is great.
This eye shadow primer is what you need if you want to get the best color payoff and prevent creasin. You can smooth this lifesaver onto your lid before applying your favorite shadow.
I love this body wash infused with exotic kiwi and mango. I used it when I showered and the fruity smell makes you feel relaxed. My daughter even tried it in her hot bath.
This Epic BLend premium lip balm is my favorite this month because the weather here is terrible that it makes opur lips so dry and cracking. The root beer flavor is so addicting that if you put it on your lips before bed, you'll have a very soft lips when you wake up.
So that's the round up for this months Beauty Box 5.
A simple celebration with a mauve-olous look made for a perfect Valentine's date at home. Hubby's birthday is three days after the Valentine's day so we don't normally celebrate for the heart's day. It's Valentine's day almost everyday in our home anyway. Disclosure:The author of this blog was NOT financially compensated to write this review.

Hypertension is something that affect my side of the family. We always have to watch for my Mom's blood pressure because it tends to go up whenever she is stressed out. I am missing my Mom so bad, her birthday is coming up here in two days and I wish I could see her and hug her. I talked to her via an overseas call a couple of weeks ago and I plan to call her again on her birthday if she goes to the city and visit my youngest sister. Cellphone signal is very difficult to find at her place so I always call her when she is in the city.

I wish my Mom a happy birthday and may God continue to bless you with good health. I wish that I could see you soon. I would love to visit but I can't afford it financially but I am saving little by little so we can see you again soon. I love and miss you so much!
I definitely want her to have this portable, accurate, and simple-to-use arm cuff design blood pressure monitor that I got from Ozeri to review. It has a clinically proven technology with an advanced hypertension indicator color codes. The Systolic and Diastolic readings are in green for normal, then orange for prehypertension, and red for hypertension. It is easy to read so my brother can assist my Mom with this.
The monitor is compact and comes in a nylon zip case and has a pocket for the instruction booklet and for your notes. You can buy this at Amazon through this link for a 59% off discounted price of $48.95 from its original price. Ozeri makes good blood pressure monitor. We have one that we regularly use at home because we have to monitor my husband's blood pressure too from time to time. It works great and very accurate!

Daughter and I have so many things in common and not in common but two things we always have fun in doing is taking care of hair and nails. Although I miss the times when I can still fix her hair but I am glad that she is starting to explore that part by herself. She usually browse pinterest or watch videos on YouTube on how to fix her hair and stuff.
We both love painting our nails. Last year, I discovered that she's been clipping the skin around her nails and clipping her nails so short that it looked awful already. So as much as she would love to be independent, I hid all the nail cutters and told her that I would be the one to cut her nails until her finger and nails goes back to normal.
We both have long dark hair so we uses the same hair products. I am however hesitant to let her try new products sometimes unless I tested it first. I like this bamboo sprout deep conditioning treatment. I use this for my hair only because her hair is healthy but mine needs some treatment.
I love this Keratin gloves . I let her used this to strengthen my daughter's nails and nourish her skin and cuticles. I thought this was a perfect product for my daughter's hands due to the condition that I have mentioned above. She said that her hands feels good and she also said that her nails seem to be stronger. She said that when her finger nails grow a little longer, she would be trying this nail wraps.
It's been a while since I used a hair spray. Hair spray reminds me of my teenage years so it's fun to have this salon grafix hair spray.
My hair keeps thinning out which concerns me sometimes so having this Plum for Joy gives my hair the extra boost it needs to get thicker. This is a great product to put after you shower, it gives your hair that extra oomph!
I love the products that Beauty Box 5 have put together this month. I also love that instead of the normal five products, they added one extra which is awesome! If you are into beauty products, BB5 might just be your thing. It's a monthly subscription of $12 a month with free shipping.
