Despite playing the lead kontrabida in ABS-CBN’s new fantaserye Little Champ, Mickey Ferriols loves being a mom—that much is obvious when she talks about her seven-year-old. In an interview with Good Housekeeping, the actress, seen here wearing a teal top and coral pants, talks about how having her son is such a blessing as well as the lessons she has learned from being a mother. She also talks about what she does when she has me-time and some of the things she can’t live without.

What counts as me-time? Going to the spa, gym, and nail salon.

What's one beauty product you can’t live without? I don't care much for [makeup], but I always have to have soap.

Any guilty pleasures? Chocolates and scented candles
