More on Quaker Oats

I have written about Quaker Oats Flavor-Rich Oatmeal packets and I say I tried a number of variants the past 2 weeks.

Of those I tried, my favorites are Chicken and Mushroom, Honey Banana, and Arroz Caldo. I find Honey Hazelnut and Cinammon Roll just okay and Strawberry, my least favorite. In my opinion, Quaker Oats' strawberry-flavored variant tasted a tad too artificial. Still, I'm not saying it is not worth a try. I know there are lots of people out there who really love anything strawberry-flavored.

By the way, if you have something to say about the new Quaker Oats Flavor-Rich packets, do drop me a line or two at the comments section. I'd love the interaction.

Have a wonderful day!

Garnier Didn't Deliver the 28-Day Promise

I bought Garnier's Light Moisturizing Lotion (SPF 15) and their Milky Lightening Toner two months ago. In the Garnier TV ad featuring KC Concepcion, Garnier promises a noticeable lightening of the skintone after 28 days of continued use. Well, it has been two months since I started using Garnier's Moisturizing Lotion and Milky Lightening Toner combo but I still have to see my facial skintone lighten. Hehe.

I am not surprised, really. I was sort of expecting it. I bought the product because I ran out of my usual supply of toner and moisturizer and not for the skin lightening properties. Also, Garnier smells really nice-- I like citrus-y scents. Plus, the 150 ml bottle of toner sells really cheap at Php169 and the 40 ml bottle of mositurizing lotion is a steal at Php139.

But since Garnier terribly failed at its will-lighten-your-skintone-by-two-shades-in-28-days promise, will I buy Ganier products again? Sure! As I previously mentioned, Garnier is inexpensive. And although I find the light moisturizing lotion a tad too greasy for my already oily skin, I didn't have any breakouts. Neat, huh?

In a nutshell, although Garnier didn't make my facial skintone two shades lighter, I will still include the brand's mositurizer and toner part of my skincare routine (although I wouldn't recommend it to those with oily skin). Heck, I got a set of hypoallergenic toner and moisturizer for under Php350, so who cares about skin lightening?

And as I've said, I really like citrus-y scents.

I Gotta Have My Oats

I recently discovered Quaker Oats Flavor-Rich Oatmeal Packets and I say I grab a couple of packets each time I am in the supermarket.

Each 33g packet packs less than 150 calories and is a great source of Vitamin B12 and Beta Glucan. Beta Glucan, by the way, is a soluble fiber that acts like tiny sponges that soak up cholesterol and remove it from the body. Really, really great for those who want to eat a healthy breakfast or snack on healthy stuff.

Quaker Oats Flavor-Rich Oatmeal Packets come in many variants. I have tried Chicken and Mushroom, Arroz Caldo, and Honey Banana. All three tasted so good that I had more than one packet. Just joking! Hehe.

Right now, I'm about to try Strawberry, Honey Hazelnut, or Cinammon Roll? I really can't decide which one to try first so I might end up trying all three. What do you think?

Kidding aside, I don't think I need the extra calories. Hehe:)

This is all for now. More on the goodness of Quaker Oats in my succeeding entries.
