The Best Veggie Burger and Milktea in QC!

There are times you just want to eat good food, it doesn't always have to be served in fancy dishes, stunning set-ups and venues. My husband and I are quite easy to please when it comes to food, we are open to finding quaint places where good food is often served at affordable prices.

The TINY TOTS workshop is located at the heart of Quezon City very near City Hall, that is why most of the time we find ourselves looking for food just a few streets away. That's when we discovered MAGINHAWA Street and all the restaurants there that serve wonderful and different kinds of food at reasonable prices!

For the best Veggie or Chicken patty burgers the best place to visit is GOOD BURGERS at Maginhawa Street, Sikatuna Village, Quezon City (02) 435-4663. They serve the best vegetarian burger I've ever tried! You won't even feel you are eating a veggie burger! None of those bland, cardboard tasting stuff I've tried at other vegetarian restos. If you are not into veggie burgers you can always choose their chicken patty burger which is also very tasty! Since I am not a certified foodie I will just post pictures below so you can see for yourself. 

Simple and very tasty! Our all time favorites are: Margherita Burger, 3- CHEESE and BACON MOZZA MELT!! All juicy and perfect till the last bite!!

Their "small sign" look closely cause you might miss GOOD BURGERS along Maginhawa Street. They are beside a MILK TEA place, a Mexican joint and a SHAWARMA place. 

THEIR MENU :) You can choose between the sizes, good ( small patty) , better ( 1.5 patties ) and BEST ( 2 patties! ).

We obviously love it here! 

How I care for my 30's SKIN!

    Oddly enough my skin looks better now than when I was in my 20’s! In my 20’s I had late onset of pimples while everyone else had perfect skin. I was an oil slick at the time when matte shine-free skin was the norm. While my friends were done with pimples and troubled skin; I was having skin problems till I was about 26 years old! I've been to all types of dermatologists and facialists I can't remember who truly cleared up my skin. My teen skin was a different story, when my friends were all getting pimples my skin was plump and perfect! So you can say even my skin is a late bloomer!

     I feel in my 30’s I know now and have a better idea of what works for me and my skin type. First I have to let you know that I don’t have perfect skin, I have large pores and still at 36 I continue to have occasional acne! Which all the more makes me a great “guinea pig” for all kinds of facial products. I try my best to care for my skin but I also try to streamline my daily routine to keep things simple and easy to follow.

      Let me share with you my tips, tricks and favorite products when it comes to caring for my COMBINATION and TEMPERAMENTAL skin:

       FIRST I cleanse –  My favorite nigh time cleanser is the Shu Uemura Skin Purifier Oil; at first it didn't make sense to me to clean an already oily face with oil, but it works so well I was hooked! It removes makeup and dirt so well you won't need to buy any other makeup remover for your eyes. MY favorite is the purple one. Whiteefficient clear brightening gentle cleansing oil as it clarifies, brightens and evens out my skin tone.

During the day I wash my face with Aveeno Clear Complexion Foaming cleanser. Its light, refreshing and doesn't dry out my skin. 

   

NIGHT TIME CLEANSERS: Shu Uemura Skin Purifier Cleansing oil. The purple one works best for me! The green one is also good because of its anti-aging properties!  

DAYTIME CLEANSER: This works so well even my husband loves it! He uses it as a shaving cream!

SECOND I tone –  I use Dickinson's  All natural Witch Hazel which is gentle yet very tough on dirt and excess oil! I don't use toner everyday though, I just use this everytime I feel my oil glands are on hyper mode and whenever I feel a pimple is about to come out. It helps dry up existing pimples too! Some swear it works great as a pore minimizer too!

I transfer the contents into a spray bottle and spritz my face with Witch Hazel toner, and then wipe it all off with a square type cotton sheet. It freshens up my skin in an instant! 

I EXFOLIATE two to three times a week! My tried and tested exfoliating products are: St. Ives Apricot Scrub, CURE Natural Aqua Gel and an all natural KONJAC sponge. I use these alternately as they all work so well for me. I cannot choose just one!

MY exfoliating team!! They all work so well I use them alternately!  

My BABY JAIME is now 3 years old! :)

My youngest son JAIME turned THREE last September 24! I am sure every mother would feel as though time flies so fast when it comes to her kids growing up, if only I could freeze time and stop my boys from growing I would! They are now both on such an adorable stage of their childhood and everyday we spend with them is truly a blessing!

To my little“chinito boy” who can melt anyone’s heart with just a smile, we love you! Thank you for bringing so much joy into our household and for being the low maintenance baby that you are! Now that you are bigger, you should know that it drives me crazy every time you throw a tantrum just because I cannot understand what you are saying! 

My LITTLE CHINITO BOY! Jaime Inigo Augusto! :) 

Also my little TANTRUM BOY!! 

What I will remember most abut you as a baby and a toddler would be:

You were such an easy baby to take care of I didn’t feel the need to get a Yaya till you were around 5 months old! That’s when you met your Yaya Nanay Julie! 

Yaya Nanay Julie took very good care of you!

At barely 1 month you were already sleeping through the night, I would just pick you up for your night time feeding and then we would both fall asleep after you nurse.

BABY PICTURES!! :)

Everybody's saying that you look just like me! I guess that’s why your PAPA is so jealous because you always just ask for MAMA, MAMA, MAMA!! 

That's me holding the telephone! I was about the same age as my boys! :)

You have quite a heavy hand and you always pick on your brother! Miguel is very patient with you and he really loves you! He would often kiss you and hug you and he would stay with you when you are on “time out” which is quite often these days. You won’t call Miguel “KUYA” even if we ask you to, he is just MIGUEL to you. 

With KUYA MIGS!

Your favorite reply is always “BAHALA KA!” and “AYAW!” which you know exactly when to use, these past weeks you learned how to say “BUSOG AKO” even if you are really hungry. Other favorite phrases are “I’LL BE BACK, BABA AKO, MAMA CARRY!! and GO LOLO!”
