  • Keeping “FIT”

    Keeping “FIT”

    I’m using the word “fit” loosely here guys, complete with more air quotes. The idea of growing so big scares me but at this point, I don’t really have much of a choice.  My appetite came back in full force. Every food I could get my hands on taste so good and so I gained… Continue reading

    Review: Snug-A-Hug Maternity Nursing Post Op Everyday Pillow

As you can imagine, my lower back is always hurting these days.I’vee always wanted to get a body pillow but it’s only now that I decided to actually get one. The most popular maternity… Continue reading

  • Life Update: Pregnancy Journey

    Life Update: Pregnancy Journey

    I feel that the whole “pregnancy journey” has been romanticised way too much. The process is not as easy as some moms make it look. I see it online and hear it from people, being pregnant is a glorious time and that it’s a journey that every woman should enjoy. But it’s hard to enjoy… Continue reading

    Review: Kat Von D Mother of All Mini Lipstick Duo

    I cannot, for the life of me, finish a tube of lipstick. I have more than 30 lippies in my collection and some of them have been left untouched for months. I even got several glosses that I never use. It’s great that brands are coming out with mini lipsticks so lazy lasses like yours… Continue reading

  • Review: Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Stress Relief

    Review: Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Stress Relief

    I’ve had this fabulous body lotion since forever and I’ve only thought about writing this review now. Go figure! If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s the fact that I love all kinds of minty scents. I suffer from asthma and cat allergies all the time and I love fragrances that decongest,… Continue reading

  • Sephora PH Sale: What Did You Get?

    Since I got knocked up, I lost interest in going out. I spend most of my time at home, trying not to throw up, basically. My favorite moisturizer was running out and since I was in no mood to travel to the city for a fresh pot, I decided to get a new moisturizer at… Continue reading

  • Someone’s Knocked Up

    … dass right, ’tis I! Obviously, this is a major milestone so I must blog about it: I’m pregnant. Although we’ve been trying for a baby last year, we weren’t really successful. It came to a point where we were okay with not having kids at all. I will confess: I’m not too fond of children. I… Continue reading

    Caramoan Getaway 2: Of Beach-Hopping, Going on a Picnic and Chilling in the Spa

    This post is a continuation of my Caramoan getaway series 🙂 Caramoan is known for its virgin white beaches, dramatic landscapes, and breathtaking coves so it was not surprising that the resort offers a variety of activities to choose from. During our stay, we planned an island hopping activity, a picnic near the lighthouse, bonfire… Continue reading

    Caramoan Getaway 1: Tugawe Cove Resort Review

    Oh hey! Just got back from our Caramoan trip and I’m still trying to get into things since I came back. The trip was a belated birthday gift from us to us because our line of work gets old real fast without beach breaks. Anyhoo! We decided to head to Caramoan in Camarines Sur! There… Continue reading

  • Review: Plaza Mocha Desserts and Drinks

    Review: Plaza Mocha Desserts and Drinks

    As much as I love all the delectable dishes that Plaza Mocha serves, I often go there for the desserts. Back when Plaza Mocha wasn’t the bustling cafe that it is now, I’ve told my then-boyf that their cheesecakes are so much better than Starbucks’ and years later, I still feel the same! Today I’ll… Continue reading
