Inspired by turn-of-the-century charm and backed by the Kohler Company’s 140 years of quality craftsmanship, the KOHLER Artifacts bathroom faucet collection brings a new level of personalization to the bath. Artifacts invites the homeowner to confidently select details that reflect a taste and style that is theirs alone by choosing from three spouts and three handles—all available in five finishes.

“There’s this undeniable thrill that comes with discovering a piece that resonates with your design aesthetic, whether it’s an antique uncovered at a salvage shop or a vintage treasure snatched up from your travels,” says Julie Kober, Kohler Faucets product manager. “Curating your own Artifacts faucet evokes that same feeling.”


And just as classic design sees a resurgence in kitchen and bath trends, the introduction of the Artifacts collection couldn’t be more timely. Its Edwardian roots play well in traditional and transitional baths—even in modern spaces, where its timeless form offers an historic juxtaposition for a more eclectic aesthetic. Fifteen accessories, including a tumbler, soap dispenser and a toilet paper carriage make it easy to create a complete, cohesive look.

Last February 17th, I had the chance to stop, drop and relax at Sky Lounge BGC for the first leg of Corona Sunsets City Escape here in the Philippines!

...And why it's a good idea to indulge in an awesome pair.



High heeled shoes to me are like magic. They give off this instant 'oomph!‘ to any outfit, my walk and frame. It also helps build my confidence which is something that I always love! They can express your outfit into a classy or hipster look, depending on what the style of the high heeled shoes is.

And as I have learned in life and experience, I would say that it is essential that a lady has at least 3 types of high heeled shoes in her closet (Black Pumps, Neutral Pumps and Statement heels). And that you should NEVER sacrifice comfort for style. #NOToTiisGanda

So in this article, I'll be giving you guys a few tips and tricks to find that awesome pair of high heels that will not only make your feet look pretty classy but also happy.

So here's the accompanying makeup look that I did with my Blue Valentine's OOTD. :)



For this look, I just wanted something easy, simple and something attainable within 20 minutes or less while blending things out properly. Hence the brown-gold eyeshadow, winged eyeliner and reddish-brown lipstick.

To know more on what products I used please read on.. :)

Hi! So, how did you spend your V-Day? I do hope that you guys did go to church, as it did fall on a sunday after all... ;) Pichi and me had a bit of work to do that day, so instead of the pre-planned movies at home and chips date, we went out after the errand was done. Here's what I wore:



Yeah, for some reason I didn't want to go with the flow so instead of wearing red I wore my pichi's favorite color blue. That dress was given to me by my mom. Yeah, she's got awesome taste yes? :) I also wore white jelly flats because those kind of flats are the only thing that can conquer my "Bakal na paa" syndrome hehehe.

CD-R King Your one stop shop gives you an insightful Hoverboard/iRover safety usage.



The stylish and frolicsome appeal of iRover maybe mistaken as a toy. It is apparent to many that your futuristic iRover/hoverboard is fun to play with, but it is far from being a toy.

As per DTI’s consumer’s safety requirement, it should be clear to hoverboard enthusiasts that the gadget is intended for age 14 and above. We need to realize that we should exercise proper care when using anything that has 2-wheels. Protective gear such as helmet and wrist guards, elbow and knee pads should be worn whenever on board a hover board.



Safety precaution for first-time users includes that the user should be in front of a sturdy handle to achieve balance in riding the iRover. Test your balance by slowly leaning back to move backwards. Gently lean forward to thrust in a slow mode forward. For novice users, always start working on a slow and steady pace until conquering the iRover.

Hello Chicas! I'm really excited because it'll only be a few days before Althea finally opens it's "doors" or website to us for our shopping pleasure! Althea is an awesome online shop where you can get affordable korean cosmetics and skincare directly from the motherland- Korea. They give out free shipping and you won't have to have the headache of going to customs yourself as the package is delivered directly to your doorstep.



What's more is come opening day, they'll have lots of surprises and freebies up for grabs like 50% off, free credits and free shipping for 1000.00 Php worth of purchases. Daebak! hahaha, yeah, I think I'm going korean today. Anyways, 대박 [Dae-bak] is  a word commonly seen in Althea Korea to express awesomeness. In Korea it's used to express the idea of gaining a big fortune like "jackpot"!You should totally stalk their FB page to get the latest juicy deets on what's what with AltheaPH. ;)



And now, if you remember, I promised you guys a sneak peek on what I got from said online shopping experience. Well, here is my Pink Beauty Box, which by the way is totally sturdy and so reusable. I currently am using it to store more of my make up stash...



Upon receipt of the package, even the box is bubble wrapped and all the contents of it are also wrapped up. Talk about protection eh? Anyways, here's what I got:



Tony Moly’s Backstage Gel Eyeliner- I still don't have gel eyeliners in my stash since I'm still in love with liquid eyeliners, but I thought that it's high time I get to expanding my prowess eh? So I got a couple of these gel eyeliners from Tony Moly, which here in the Philippines costs Php 548.00 and at Althea is priced for only 290 pesos! BIG, BIG savings on that me tells ye! I got a couple of colors, black and brown which I will be giving an in depth review soon. :)

Hi there! This mascara is one of my current Holy Grail products as I really am loving the performance of the Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara. It was given to me by my tita as a gift a few days before Christmas, and it's in sample size. I loved this baby at first swipe, and it's not just because of the sentimental value!

Valentine's day is just around the corner. Now, as I was derping around the internet, I find myself laughing at the Love Day's expense. Why? cause the following photos are just hilarious and full of that pinoy humor that we all know and love.



I'd say this jeepney's driving into a rocky road and it is a pretty dangerous one. Virgins BEWARE. XD



Yeah, even if the reason for celebration is Valentine's or your anniversary, who'd want to do that anyways?! *ick!



I don't know if I can call this one sweet or creepy... And I got one word for this guy: Necrophilia. XD

Hi everyone! If you're into Korean cosmetics and skincare like myself, then you know how unfair it is that the Philippine tax can make these supposedly affordable Korean cosmetics and skincare's prices go up the roof. Thank goodness that Althea Philippines has come to our shores! And I'm here to share with you guys my shopping experience and later my cutesy pink box and haul.

If you're looking for a place to celebrate your Valentine's Day with that special someone or you want to gift your parents a special date for themselves but you're on a tight budget, you might want to try joining The Nest By Vivere Hotel's Photo Contest! Here are the Mechanics:



Imagine giving your parents or that special someone this spectacular view...

Okay, so it was pretty stupid of me to forget to take a photo of this liquid eyeliner when Pichi gifted this to me around late November of last year... So I apologize if the photos aren't even showing the brand name and what the hell it is, but rest assured that what I will be reviewing in this post is the Nichido Liquid Eyeliner that you see in department stores and other Nichido Stalls everywhere. :)

I was looking for a budget liquid eyeliner that time, when I remembered how Nichido is known for it's budget friendly cosmetics... And since I wanted to try another brand of makeup, I went for it. By the way, I can't find the Nichido Site so there's no official description of the product..



Packaging and Price:

The packaging is a glossy black tube, and on one side you can see the words "Nichido Liquid Eyeliner" and the expiry date or manufactured date are not included. And as you can see, after around less than 3 months, the writing's already faded.. But considering the fact that this costs for Php 68.00, I can't really complain...
