Remember that post I made about my lipstick collection having a life of it's own? Well, that little sacrifice I made on donating my lipstick money to the #PinoyItForward Movement is going to help our fellow pinoys who have faced countless adversities and disasters. While our resilience is a nice trait to have with the disasters that countless families across the country have faced, our "Bayanihan" spirit is what helps us all stand up to these challenges.

Lipsticks have dominated my vanity kit.😳 • For some reason, I got addicted to collecting different colors and I guess it has become an indulgence that has a life of its own na (40+ lippies and only one pair of lips omg.)🙃😅 • But I recently joined a campaign that challenges one to make a sacrifice in the form of a donation to #PinoyItForward campaign. There is no sacrifice too small to be a part of this movement. Everyone can join and everyone plays a part. • Instead of buying that 300 pesos lipstick na malamang I don't need right now, I am giving my lippie money to help PinoyItForward's Busai Valley Housing Project. Now, while it is nice to have a couple of nudes, reds, and weird colors like blue and green, it is even nicer to be a blessing to other people. • • Also tagging these lovely peeps with big hearts- @sayochelsea , @daddysetgo and @thegirlwiththemujihat to join this campaign and tag 3 of their friends too!• You can also send your help at www.pinoyitforward.com😍😍😍 Merry Christmas!

Last November 10th, lots of amazing things are happening at SM Sucat to prepare for the Christmas Season! As the festive season comes, a series of inter-galactic and awesome activities to look forward for special events will be happening. Here's a summary of what happened and what to expect:



The launch was made with the First Filipino Astronaut Chino Roque, Patrick Garcia and Family, Patty Laurel (Lifestyle and Mommy Blogger), Jackie Go (Lifestyle and Mommy Blogger), Juan Santino Santiago (Team Yey and UKG Kid Celebrity), Hannah Vito (Team Yey Celebrity), Robert Wachtel (Kid Celebrity and Model), Rochelle Barrameda (Celebrity Mom), and Isabel Alves (Bb. Paranaque 2018).





There was also a dance number, and Jason Dy of The Voice Philippines Season 2 serenaded the people with his angelic voice.

Thinking of what to serve at your next Christmas Party or Birthday? Here's a yummy and nutritious snack for you to serve to your guests. Nachos are really easy to do, and the thing here is you can make them even better for your kids or your loved ones by serving them #Wellnesize dishes.

#Wellnesize Nachos?

Ready your wallets moms, dads and millennials! Tis the season of giving and shopping but I am sure that we all want to be practical and save up on our daily needs. Unilever and Shopee are pumped up for all of their special deals this coming  Shopee11.11 sale and I am here to give you a cheat sheet on all the discounts and sale times!

Jollibee’s Ube Pie is back this November, and for a limited time only.

I guess it is true when they say that if something is for you it will definitely come back! I love Jolibee's Ube Pie cause it reminds me of that Ube Halaya that my mom used to make when we are kids. Even my own daughter is nuts when she gets to eat grandma's ube halaya. And man, it is the exact same thing that is inside the filling. It's sweet but hindi nakakaumay.

Taiwan Excellence is an internationally accredited organization known for reviewing Taiwan made products and gives awards to those found exceptional and superior.

They visited the Philippines today and is one of the larger exhibitors for the Philconstruct 2018, known to be the biggest construction show in the country, showcasing industry related items like quality construction equipment exterior design products and the like, to show everyone more quality items that can help us with our fast paced lifestyle.




Innovations came in all shapes and forms, but what got me really excited are these space savers and wall savers from Ferro-Carbon Enterprise Co. Ltd.( FECA). They have these wall hooks and shelves that are made with a double rubber pad, releasable with a switch lock.

Wishing for a winter wonderland? Fret no more as SM Mall of Asia has it all for you with their SM Winter Wonderland theme for this Christmas! They also unveiled their 50 ft. tall christmas tree as well as a lot of Christmas deals as the year ends!

This one holds a special place in my heart! The Shawill Nude Blush in #2 is one of the things that is included in the makeup boquet that my husband gave me this February, and I am so impressed for the pigment that this blush trio gives!

Packaging and Price of Shawill Nude Blush:

The packaging is a bit so-so for me. They need a better graphic artist cause I am not feeling this. But hey- it is selling for 168 Php so I can't really complain. this Shawill Nude Blush is available in Watsons, and all Shawill counters in SM and Robinson's department stores as well as Shopee, Lazada and BeautyMNL. 

I do like that you can see the colors cause it is clear, but you can definitely tell that it is kinda cheap cause of the lightweight packaging and THE BRUSH IS REALLY SCRATCHY. Do not use. Ever. Unless it is for an SFX thing and you need some sort of scratchy pattern on your face. Also, the lid broke after 6 months in my travel kit. Sad.

Swatches and Longevity of Shawill Nude Blush in #2

This has 3 variants, and I got #2 which has a contour shade, a peachy orange and a reddish pink blush (L-R on the photo). I can compare the reddish pink one to careline's fresh tomato. :D

These days, a planner is not just for planning your day - it is for planning your LIFE! Some are designed so you can keep track of your expenses, goals, exercises, and others are designed to be customized to your need, hence the emergence of the Bullet Journaling or BuJo. For me, I tend to get a planner so I have a handy notebook to draw in when boredom strikes.
