If the scale is out of sight, the calories are out If the scale is out of sight, the calories are out of mind. 🍍🤫 My OB was very specific: 1 lb a month to start, then 5-6 lb per month from the 5th month onwards. I swear, I did the math but Thai food is doing the addition. Come to think of it, I was just being a supportive mom. If the baby wants mango sticky rice, who am I to say no? 🥭🤭 Also, let’s talk pregnancy symptoms: the constipation is real. Pineapple juice is my current fave for keeping things moving. What’s your go-to natural remedy for the pregnancy slow-down? Or are you team pineapple too? 👇✨ #pregnancycravings #thailandfood #pregnancyreality #mamatips #pregnancyhumor
The pregnancy test was positive, my skincare wasn’ The pregnancy test was positive, my skincare wasn’t. 🤰🏻 Even before meeting my OB at 4 weeks, I purged my entire skincare shelf. I truly believe what goes on my skin affects the baby, so I built this minimalist, pregnancy-safe routine for a healthy glow. The disbelief of those first few weeks was real, but my protective instinct was faster. I’ve officially moved away from high-risk actives and leaned into a skincare routine that focuses on barrier repair and physical safety. 😌 The Swaps: • The Redness Fix: Swapped Retinol for Azelaic Acid (Anua Green). • The Glow Duo: Vitamin C (Garnier) + Elasticity Cream (Paul Medison). • The Shield: Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Air-Fit (100% Mineral/Physical). • The Tummy Strategy: Coconut Oil Serum (One Dee’s Herb)—thinner, non-clogging, and perfect for daily use. No 10-step fluff. Just a resilient, safe, and effective routine for the whole pregnqncy journey. Full “Red Flag” list and the logic behind these swaps are live on the blog!

₱12,709.92. That’s our first trimester total. 📉 W ₱12,709.92. That’s our first trimester total. 📉 While the internet tries to sell you on nursery decor, we focused on survival and data. Here is the 4-part strategy we used to stay sane and under budget: 1️⃣ Most of our lab tests (CBC, Scans, Bloodwork) were HMO-covered, so they don’t show up in the total, but they were our no. 1 priority. Knowing everything was in good condition is the best cure for doom-scrolling. 2️⃣ ₱75/day on high-grade prenatal vitamins. The nursery can wait; the nutrients can’t. 3️⃣ A total purge of my old routine. We ditched the retinoids and swapped for pregnancy-safe essentials. 4️⃣ No maternity clothes yet! Just oversized blazers, loose dresses, and the hair-tie hack. Financial peace is about what you DON’T buy. We’re keeping our cash liquid until we find those qualiyu, pre-loved items later. Full breakdown is live on the blog. Link in bio and comments below! #pregnancyexpenses #firsttimeparents #firsttrimester #momtobe2026 #dadtobe2026
Building a sanctuary, not a showroom. 🤍 When thin Building a sanctuary, not a showroom. 🤍 When things feel unpredictable outside and inflation always on the news, I want my home to feel steady and simple. That’s why we’re ignoring the buy-everything-new pressure and sticking to a curated, second-hand-first approach. It’s about being a conscious consumer and focusing on quality over quantity. 🌿 Want to see our “Green Light” list for pre-loved items? The full guide is live on the blog.
