Yesterday I went to Flawless Megamall to get a body scrub. Am big fan of body scrubs but it was actually my first time to visit a beauty clinic to have it done. Most of the time I would just scrub my own self using body salt I would buy in drugstores. So because I have a very busy day ahead of me, I decided to visit Flawless very early. I got there just few minutes after ten. And I waited for about an hour before I got my body scrub. And while...

And I should thank Beauty & Butter for giving me such pretty nails that gained me a lot of cute compliments from the last two weeks! From my previous post about Manila’s blooming nail art salon, I told you I got myself a nail art and here it is! Beauty and Butter offers dozens and dozens of cute nail art designs – from simple abstract to princess characters, from doodles to classic couture, from candies to cute kids, from...

Yeay! Finally, I have my own Coastal Scents Pink Kabuki Brush! This item, along with my other makeup finds, arrived sometime last month. I ordered this one from the Coastal Scent site along with the Coastal Scents Pink Duo Fiber Powder Stippler brush (I will make a separate post for this one) . I first saw this Pink Kabuki Brush sometime in May last year. I so wanted one because, for the obvious reason, it’s pink – the handle is...

Last week I had a relaxing Monday afternoon at Flawless. It’s not my first time in Flawless but it was my first time in SM Megamall branch. It’s located at 5F Bldg B, and is actually just in front of Beauty & Butter. So I got a Flawless Power Peel. It’s a skin resurfacing procedure that restores the skin to its natural glow. It uses corundum crystals to peel dead skin, leaving your skin rejuvenated and glowing (I swear, I...

I feel like Saturday is the busiest day of my week since I went back to the university. It’s the day that I go to UP in the morning (after my work if I get really unfortunate to be working on night shift that week, which happens a lot), try to get some sleep in the afternoon, do the groceries, do the laundry, and sneak in some me time at night. So last Saturday, despite all the business I had – gym, UP, sleep, a little shopping, laundry...

If there’s one thing that I am most vain about, it would be my nails. I love them always neat and colorful. Next would be my hands and feet. I would never fail to get foot spa and home-style hand spa every two weeks. Yea, I am more religious with my nails, hands and feet than with my face. Ikr. So imagine how excited I was when I went to Beauty & Butter two weeks ago to get a Hand & Foot Paraffin Wax with Manicure and Pedicure....

Last Sunday, Boiffie and I watched StreetDance 3D in Gateway. Yes I was supposed to finish my problem set in Advanced Algo that time but but but *roll eyes*. So while I was draining my brain to solve algo-and-stat-related problems, I asked the Boiffie to buy movie tickets. I stayed in Starbucks Gateway for a good 4 hours, had dinner in Max’s (three quarter-chicken FTW!) and went back to Starbucks for coffee and more probset-solving then by...

My first Longchamp bag is a small black Le Pliage with long handle. My boyfriend bought it from Paris when he had a business trip there. I didn’t love it at first, but when I realized how classy and versatile my small folding bag is (I can pair it with almost every piece that I wear), I came to totally love it. Now I want a bigger bag with a short handle this time (short handle is less expensive). And I couldn’t get any more excited...

Undoubtedly, chicken is my favorite protein. Most of us Filipino like chicken – chicken adobo, pininyahang manok, roast chicken, chicken curry – the list goes on and on. For me, I have one very simple dish that I would always cook for myself if I have cravings. It’s called Grilled Chicken Bruschetta.   A bruschetta dish should basically have basil, tomatoes and cheese. It is usually put on top of french bread as an...

And another chapter in the Philippine history has begun. I wasn’t able to watch the inauguration earlier because 1. I don’t have TV in my place, 2. maybe I don’t have the interest, 3. I’m busy with something important, 4. live streaming will not work for me because Globe Tattoo sucks. So I didn’t have the compulsory I-Voted post last month. And again, not because I’m apathetic or something – I voted in...
