Dealing With Angsty Teens
Just when you thought you knew your child, puberty hits and it feels like the once rambunctious ball of energy that gave you so much joy turned into a completely different person. One that dresses like an old man, resents authority with a passion and have a devil-may-care-attitude to match. They grow up so fast,… Continue reading

Review: Smashbox Full Exposure Palette

Lawrd, I never had to work this hard for shimmers to show up on my peepers until the Smashbox Full Exposure palette came along. Fair warning, this palette is not for newbies (like myself). I did read reviews about how problematic the shimmers were but paid no attention because one look at the row of… Continue reading

Review: Snoe Emutox
I was looking for a great facial mist the other day and came across a great one from Snoe (more one that in the future). Y’all know how impressed I was with Snoe’s It’s Oat-k, It’s Alright Foaming Cleansing Oil and since I have great experience with the brand, I didn’t think twice about picking out… Continue reading

Summer 2014 Chapter 2: A Beachin' Good Time

It’s the first week of summer and my friends, beau and I headed to the beach to celebrate! The last time I was at the beach was four months ago in Hundred Island, Pangasinan.

Summer 2014 Chapter 1: Getting In Touch With The Wild

I revisited one of the Zambales’ best-kept secret, Potipot Island in an almost 5-day stay at Cerana Farms, my friend’s dad is the owner of the property.

Candy Shoes

What did I tell ya? I told you I’d hunt these babies down as soon as I set foot on the mall right? And I did a fine job too considering the Melissmia was apparently from an extremely old collection (midyear 2013, I think). It wasn’t really easy. After travelling to Tarlac back to the… Continue reading

Firing Up My Obsession For Shoes
Y’all know I was a massive shoe and bag whore before all these makeup and skincare thing became a full-blown obsession, right? No? Well, I was! The last pair of shoes I bought was a boring pair of nude flats because I never owned anything nude since forever. And true to form, I never wore… Continue reading

The Surprise For The Boyf
The folks at the boyf’s office surprised him on his birthday and I was a part of it. I haven’t surprised anyone on their birthday since the iWebdate days and this time was a bit different because I have not met all the office people at the boyf’s workplace. There wasn’t much to do since… Continue reading

Facemask Sundays: It's My New Thing

So, I have been on a skin care kick after I started the first of what I would later call my “Facemask Sundays” (formerly known as Mudpack Sundays). Basically, I spend at least an hour every Sunday doing what most women who reached an advanced age would do, try to hold on to what little… Continue reading
