In character, in manner, in style, in all things the supreme excellence is simplicity. – Henry Wadsworth

This is how I can describe The Pinay Blogger @ Home. I can see a simple three column layout with light blue background that loads fast. The header contains just the title a few design. The sidebars are very clean, wherein categories, recent post, some ads and resources are available. You can never miss the picture of the beautiful Pinayblogger with a ready smile for all her visitors. She also supports online contests; you can see Kaye and Pehpot’s button on her sidebar.

Jade, a Filipina-Dutch living in Singapore is the author of this blog. Contrary to her simple layout, her articles and tips on home improvement, personal development and family are excellent. I didn’t even know that sugar can cause brain fog thanks to Jade’s tips on how to think clearly. I know many of us needs these tips once in a while.

A blog review for Pinay Blogger @ Home to Kaye and Pehpot’s Contest.

A blog review for Fab Momma as entry to Kaye and Pehpot’s Contest.

Pink is background color of this blog. Very feminine and very fab. Of course the author is a girl, no less than the Mommy of Azumi, Bambie. I like the design of this blog, with two column template, contains a big side bar and two mini side bar. The header contains the title written in a Fabulous way with flowers and ribbon as borders. Sidebar is clean, with archive, some ads, and of the comment section showing some love to her dear readers and commenters. The blog is not updates as Azumi’s site, but being busy as a mom, maintaining other site like Azumi’s and tumblr, she even warned her reader that she hopes to update this as often as her other site. But I think, she is doing just fine. If her other site is all about her daughter Azumi, this site is all about her and other fabulous things. Bambie is really fab and beautiful, she manages to stay sexy and fit even after giving birth. A stranger can actually think she’s still single just by staring at her. Just check out her photo with the Pink Panther. Am I right? An active participant of weekly meme, like Girl Talk, Couples Corner and Food Trip Friday, you will find out things about her life and relationship even learn something about Japanese food.  Visit Fab Momma today and be inspired.

A blog review for Diva Fabulosa as entry to Kaye and Pehpot’s Contest

Zest is the secret of all beauty. There is no beauty that is attractive without zest. – Christian Dior

This is Diva Fabulosa, full of spices and life. A blog brought to you by Jade. Just recently, she changed the template of her blog. I can say this template is really fabulous. The header made an impression already, with the stylish title font and the sexy woman with shopping bags. Just by looking at the header you will get the impression that this blog is about fashion and woman. The sidebar is free of clutter, with just a few widgets that contain the categories, resources, recent comments, adgitize and entrecard. The availability of the Navigation menu makes it easier to browse from one category to another.

Yes, this blog is about fashion and woman, but you will get a whole lot more. It’s not just about woman but also topics that interest woman. I’m sure you’ll agree with her opinion about The Bigger, The Better? I’ve always believe that performance is a way better. This Diva has a lot to offer, from beauty product reviews to appreciating the existence of men to earning online.  She give spice to her articles that makes it so interesting to read. So, if you want to be as fabulous as her, go visit her site.

A blog review for Bacolod and Beyond Journey as entry to Kaye and Pehpot’s Contest.

The blog have a three column layout one sidebar on each side, with light brown as background and a darker brown on the main and sidebars. The Header contains an image of a highway, with cars, building and trees, giving me the impression that the author loves to travel and go to different places.  The sidebar contains the usual stuffs, archives(which is important for me), blog list, buttons and some ads. My eyes catched the animated water falls on the left sidebar which serves as a calendar design. When I scrolled down, I saw another widget with a beautiful watery scene, but another calendar. Other than that, the site is very easy to navigate.

As the title suggested the site is about the author’s home town, Bacolod and some other places in the Philippines and other parts of the world. She even gave some information and trivia about Bacolod. Since, the author loves nature and sceneries, she is an active participant of weekly memes that’s about nature, sceneries are something that needs a picture, to name a few, there’s Today’s Flower, Skywatch Friday, Watery Wednesday. With many pictures to capture your eyes, the author also talks about her life, family and friends. So, if you have the eye for nature and people, go visit Bacolod and Beyond Journey and have a feast.

A blog review for Azumi as entry to Kaye and Pehpot’s Contest.

Welcome to a Baby’s World.  The pink flowery background is very feminine,  the header shows a japanese little girl enjoying the outside world, with pink and purple background. With some widgets and links placed nicely on the pink sidebar. It’s suits the Kawaii Princesa very much.

The blog is all about Azumi, a half Filipina and Half Japanese daughter of Bambie, have different cute nicknames and some unique endearments from her mom. This is her story from the time she is at the womb of her loving mommy Bambie to her milestones everyday. In every article, that Bambie shares to her readers, you can just feel how excited she is to have a beautiful daughter. Actually, all the members of the family and even the neighbors are excited to have a new baby girl. There have been so many changes in her life ever since she was pregnant, she pointed out some nega points but of course the positive points are more important. You can relate to her stories, pictures and videos of Azumi, from a dependent baby to an independent preschooler. I’m sure when Azumi grows up and be able to read this blog she will love her Mom more and more. To read more on the joys, experiences of a Mother and daughter tandem, visit Azumi’s lovely site.

Right at this moment, I took a break from reviewing blogsites, because I just posted my comment for K’s latest post. This mean, I was able to read all her articles from November 2, 2008 up to present. I feel I was able to know K so much through her 237 articles. I feel I virtually stalked her. And with 264 comments ( plus the unapproved yet), I was able to comment on each and every articles. Oh, okay not all, I think I passed on about 3 or 5 articles, like the disclosure policy. No, this is not a review for her site, I just feel like writing about my accomplishment and at the same time rest my brains from all the reviews.

I’m thankful for K and pehpot for hosting a contest like this. I was able to give myself time to read different blogs and much more know more bloggers. Though, it means I have to use some of my office time to do this. ssshhh don’t tell the boss. alrightie.

K is a terrific writer, I admire her for her talents in writing and in blog designing. She writes in sarcasm but it’s puts humor and spice to her articles, thus making her readers come back for more. I hope in the future, I will have the courage she had when she decided to leave her job  to be with her daughter 24/7.  This Mom, is really a wahmaholic, she will do everything and anything for her family.

Kudos!

on to my next stop… Pehpot.
