Fine Jewelry PH: My Experience Ordering from an Online Seller

I was on the hunt for an eternity ring similar to my half-eternity wedding band. I know, it’s excessive but I hate how my wedding band spins, exposing the stone-less bits. It just ruins my look and I’m vain and shallow like that. Good thing I found an insta-seller who can make the exact eternity… Continue reading

NOTE: BTW, for those wondering why I keep writing my shopping experiences, I don’t do this to gloat.

Review: La Roche-Posay Effaclar Gel Cleanser

As you know, I’m borderline obsessive when it comes to caring for my skin. Nothing ruins my day quite like a bad breakout, not playing. Personally, caring for the skin is more important than perfect makeup application. Because no matter how good you are with makeup application, bad skin has a way of showing through.… Continue reading
