Beauty routines may evolve with every generation, but the conversations passed between mothers and daughters often stay the same. 💌
In this #AllurePhilippines exclusive, mother-daughter duo Chesca Garcia Kramer (@chekakramer ) and Kendra Kramer (@kramer.kendra ) open up about the rituals they’ve built for themselves—from sunscreen before early swim training and skincare before photoshoots, to prayer, gratitude, and learning to feel confident in your own skin.

Two of the most beautiful things that have ever happened in my life are being a wife and being a mother. When I became a mother, I felt and witnessed God's goodness in my life, and from that moment on, everything changed forever.
I remember the first time I held my children in my arms. Every time I looked into their beautiful faces and held their tiny hands, I kept saying, "I can't believe they are really mine."
On many sleepless nights, I would gaze at their sweet faces, placing my hand lightly on their chests just to make sure they were breathing and everything was alright. Their tiny bodies safely cradled in my arms, always close to mine.
I can never forget their baby scent, their soft skin, and the countless times I whispered, "I love you, baby of mine."
Now, as they are all growing up and still by my side, I may not be able to cradle them like before, but my shoulders and lap are still where they like to rest. I want them to always know they are safe in the arms of the one who will always love them the most.
How time flies-but in the eyes of a mother, they will always be the little ones she has always known—forever babies of mine.❤️
Happy Mother's Day to my Mama, I love you always and miss you every day. 🥹
Happy Mother's Day to all you amazing ladies!❤️
Read me! ♥️
I love this tote bag! It's actually Kendra's, and it has become my regular bag in Australia.😊 I enjoy carrying it around. You'll never know who might need to hear or read the words, "God's timing is perfect!"
We are all waiting, praying, and hoping for something. Sometimes it may take a while, and often the impatient part of us becomes restless and hopeless. But God is on our side, and no time is ever wasted when we wait on Him and trust in His timing.
I'm grateful I don't have to rely on my own strength because I often feel that I have a saturation point and might think I'm at a dead end. But not with God!
Time and again, He makes everything right in all aspects of our lives. I believe the season of waiting is the most precious of all. We are transformed from the inside out—our outlook, priorities, thankfulness, and humility. Best of all, God's power becomes so undeniable that you can't claim it was through your own works! Praise God! ❤️
Remember, God's timing is perfect! He is preparing your heart for what’s to come! ♥️🙏

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.- Ecclesiastes 3:11
Mother's Day is just around the corner!💐

One of my favorite things to do at home is rotate my plants around the house. 🪴 💚 I bring some of my potted outdoor plants inside and find a nice, shady spot for my indoor plants.

Life in Melbourne.
Can't believe our 3-month stay in Melbourne is coming to an end soon.
From establishing a new daily routine and watching the kids grow and improve in their respective sports.
It's been nothing short of amazing!
The goal on the first month was to remove bad habits and improve techniques.
The second month was about getting stronger and getting used to their new techniques.
The third month was seeing if their new techniques become second nature.
The kids are still a work in progress but they've improved leaps and bounds.
This is but a first big step towards the bigger goals.
A bit torn about heading home because we've witnessed how much they've improved in their sports, our family time, and their spiritual walk, which we've also reinforced here.
I even got to hit the basketball court again and compete with my friends!
Thank you, Melbourne!
Thank you Lord for making this trip possible! 🙏
One week to go! ❤️
There’s so much beauty in the many roles we play as women… leading, nurturing, and creating with heart.
I love how these @orochinajewelry pieces reflects that: delicate yet incredibly strong. To every woman balancing it all, remember to celebrate your journey. You are a masterpiece! ❤️
We've been busy with daily training sessions and weekly competitions, which is why I always look forward to a relaxing, laid-back day with the family! Ideally, it would be sunny with a cool breeze—that's my perfect day! Here are some snapshots from those moments! I'll always cherish our time spent here! ❤️ Pasyal time is the best! 😊😊😊
Sleep is a major factor in helping @kramer.kendra with her goals. Of course, with PediaSure Plus 10+ on our side with three balanced meals and exercise. Don’t forget to stock up on PediaSure Plus 10+ on all leading e-commerce sites!
