Pre-natal Massage in the south

I had a very tiring day yesterday and after being pregnant for 4 months I thought it might be time to get a pre-natal massage. I wanted a home service one so I can have it while my daughter naps. I was about to panic when it was almost her nap time and I still couldn't find any. Thank goodness my sister in law called and gave me the number of her trusted pre-natal masseuse. While waiting for her to arrive I decided to research some more and make a list of prenatal massage options for myself and other southern preggies out there.

• Mai-mai of Feel Dreams- this is my sister-in-law's trusted pre-natal masseuse. She used to work for Orange Spa and even claimed to training the prenatal masseuses there. Anyway she does home service and my sister inlaw has nothing but good things to say about her. They are open from 1pm-1am and charges 250php/hour, 375php/90mins and 450php/2hours. Her number is 0933-9371883.

Roughing it out in Coron

I’ve always wanted to go to Palawan and finally I decided to go. We were going to have our church wedding in three months. I used that as an excuse to relax with a couple of my girlfriends before the last months of planning. 8op

Let me just say the obvious, Palawan is huge! There are so many places to go to and things to see. The main go-to places are: Puerto Princesa, El nido and Coron. We decided to go to Coron since we got to hitch with my husband on the way there and only needed to buy tickets going home. The only catch was we had to sit on styro boxes aboard a small airplane. That was the beginning of our adventure.

Sausage and Basil Pasta

I decided to make some healthy pasta last night. It was so good that I ate too much of it! Anyway here's how I made it. 8o)

The TRUTH about Free-range Poultry and Meat

Since my interest in organic and natural food, I have had plenty of conversations about meat and poultry. I read a lot, spoke to farmers a lot and learned quite a few things. I've come to realize that, like myself 2 years ago, many consumers do not understand what free-range actually means. They tend to just purchase anything labeled free-range thinking it is healthier. I’d like to break it down just a bit, with what I have learned at least.

What does free-range really mean?

Most if not all of us have seen trucks of pigs or chickens on the highway. I’ve always felt bad for these animals all cramped up in a tiny truck. This is more or less how they live until they are slaughtered in major poultry and meat factories. They have very little space, poor hygiene and so they are often sick. When they get sick they are fed antibiotics.
