What does "ngarag" mean? It's when each item on your to-do list is a high priority. For Pinay moms, it pretty much describes a typical day of, well, constant movement, beginning at dawn to 11 p.m. (if it ends at this time, it's a pretty good day). Lack of sleep becomes a byproduct, but putting on makeup can sometimes be too much of an effort. The solution: take your cue from Japanese women who always effortlessly look beautiful. So what are their secrets? Meet your new beauty best friends, moms.
