10 Picks from Our Goodie Bag

For me, summer vacation is synonymous to enjoying good food. That's why it's important to keep babies at their safest and comfiest while eating. This colorful booster seat from Chicco (P3,299.75) does just that, and it also adjusts to two more heights, depending on your child's age!

Whoever invented the swim nappy is a genius. And your tot will be just thrilled to get to wade into the water without you worrying about potty time! This berry-colored swim diaper from Kushies (P895) in Rustan's is too hard to resist.

If your little prince wants to feel like a big boy already, these shorts from Iplay in Rustan's (P895) with a built-in diaper does just the job stylishly.

If your daugher loves being photographed by the pool or on the beach, then this swimsuit from Baby Club (P595) in Rustan's is a winner. We just love the black bows and the ruffles!

Before I venture out in the sun, I make sure to slather on some much-needed protection from the sun's harmful rays. Make sure your kiddos do too! Try Banana Boat's SPF 50 sunscreen lotion, which won't make sand stick, won't run into your child's eyes and is super water-resistant.

Just last year, I've become extra conscious about what I put on my face. And extra wary about going out in the sun too. If only all facial products packed as much sun protection as my sunblock! I like how Banana Boat's Ultra Protect doesn't feel too heavy on my skin and doesn't slough off when I'm in the water.

One of our annual summer traditions is to have a sleepover at a cousin's house. When not going on a movie marathon, we like to play board games and this one's next on our list! Pictionary gives itself a twist with Bend A Clues (P1,199.75 at toy stores), where players have to make use of bendable tubes to act out clues!

Once summer vacation hits, my sister and I would bring out all our dolls and dress them up. Imagine my delight when I saw these trendy new dolls! They're Tylie from Japan and Cyanne from France. They're part of the designers behind the ultra trendy fashion label, La Dee Da (P1,199.75 each).

No vacation is complete without a relaxing massage. My personal favorite is a 1-hour Swedish massage, but I am just excited to experience two hours' worth of the very soothing traditional Filipino massage at Bluewater Day Spa (P650).
