TRAVEL: Quick Summer Lovin' Fix at Tanza's Oasis Hotel and Resort (Review)

Making my way back 25 years ago I remember my paternal side family frequently organize getaways every summer vacation, and my parents used to bring us at the beach every morning for some physical activities like jogging, swimming and sand playing. 


I so missed everything about it. Ugh! Part of me wants to bring out the old times and this time I'm going... with my own family. I promise myself that I would not make my kid's summer vacation boring because I had so much fun during my salad days.   


Because the place is 5 to 10 minutes away from our house, hubby and I decided to have a quick day tour summer get away with our kids at Tanza's Oasis Hotel and Resort.



Tanza's Oasis Hotel and Resort inside.


Upon arriving at the resort we were asked to pay our fees (such as entrance for beach and pool Php200 - adults, Php150 - kids; Mini cottage - Php 750 and a Php 100 for deposit which will be refunded when you check out) in a corner they called as the beach entrance. To keep our bellies calm and happy, we brought enough foodies and drinks. Yes! Bringing of foods is allowed.   


We had our mini cottage located at the beach front and that made our kids a little crazy excited as soon as they saw the huge black-blue sea. Their excitement can't be tamed. The cottage is made of bamboo and good for 8 up to 10 persons, it has electric sockets where you can bring radio and listen to your summer playlist or recharge your mobile phones.


Behind that cute baby are cottages located at the black-blue beach front.

Maybe some guests would find the beach weird because of its black-blue color and it is quite near Manila Bay - for some are afraid said that it's not safe to swim. But not US! haha! We don't feel afraid at all. Ano ba! Ganyan na talaga ang kulay nyan batang musmos pa kami. So, I allowed my kids to play with sands and waves for a moment...








At the pool area.





The resort has 3 swimming pools, two 2.5 feet and 1 huge swimming pool - like 5 swimming pools combined, that offers 2.5 feet (with a kiddie slide and mushroom shower/shade) up to 5 feet - the deepest with 3 slides.   


2.5 ft spot of the huge pool.

Kuya Ton-Ton, having fun at the kiddie slide.
Spot the 3 slides!
Huge swimming pool.

Ha! I'm super happy, I was able to do almost everything I want just for a day. Swum, walked on the sand, listened to the sea waves, played with my kids, took the slides over and over with hubby loves, laughed with my siblings and acted like a pro-photographer.

Hubby took this picture. I so miss Mr. SUN.
A selfie photo isn't bad at all. Hihi! I'm with the sands...
My son JD loves a little adventure. I never thought,
that he'd like it bubbling under the sea.
With the hubby!
Say "Wednesday!!!!" at the count of 3!
Ok! Ok! Let me take you around the resort. It isn't just about the beach you know, Tanza's Oasis have a  nice and friendly sorroundings. Lifeguard almost everywhere!!!


Life guards almost every corner of this huge pool.

Here are some of  the things you may expect if you have any plan to visit.


Bar beside the swimming pool area.
Live band from morning 'til night on weekends.
You may either request or sing your favorite song with the band!!!
Coffee table around the vicinity.
Volleyball court.
Huge animal replicas surrounded the swimming pool area.
Zorbs' available too. 
Definitely we enjoyed our day tour at the resort. We will definitely come back whenever we feel like we need a quick summer lovin' fix.

Check out their website for more information.


That's all folks! XOXO

Beauty: How Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Silk Poreless White Saved Me!? (Review)

Summer season is love especially when you get to enjoy playing under the sun, walking your feet on the sand and when you travel a lot. 

But in my case, I haven't enjoy this season even until now. 

Why? 

During summer season hives are my best friends.  I have super sensitive skin and they appear immediately after I sweat a lot plus the scorching hot weather. 

Too bad! These hives would love to stay on face and it can make  my face appear perfectly distorted. 

Look!!!!

  
 Gosh!!! That was few weeks ago. And that day I had to pick up my son at his granny's crib. So I had no choice but to go out and travel, unfortunately with my hives. 

 To tame my summer allergies I had to cool down and had our A/C on in a while then prepare. 

After few minutes of preparing here's how my face look like.

Tadddddaaaaa!

   

 As if hives almost gone. What I had on my face?

   


It is Maybelline's Clear Smooth BB Silk Poreless White Foundation +SPF21 . I

 was amazed. It feels so light on my skin, not hot, not itchy and somehow it helped my hives to subside. 

Perfect for my summer lakad. Allergies perfectly concealed without hassle. Real poreless and smooth result. I  love it!!! 

Oh! Great innovation Maybelline!
