We've read it a lot of times: Supplements can pose choking risk. I've experienced it myself; a pill got stuck, and ouch. Just ouch. So since then, I've been open to trying ready-to-drink and non-pill supplement alternatives. Gladly, I was recently introduced to Vitabears - Philippines’ First and Only Vitamin Gummies! They're irresistibly CUTE and YUMMY, yet tough and packed with huge "vitamins and nutrients". AND I'm feeling the extra care because they're: So, I've been taking two gummies daily of the Skin and Detox Vitamins (on an empty stomach for maximum absorption). And here are my thou ..read more

4666 I’ve been rebranding my Instagram content to post more of my works, and I don’t think everybody is happy. Kidding. They say that people follow you, because of you. So I guess, me posting less of me resulted to a decline on my IG no of followers and engagements. But I am totally okay. In fact, a lot satisfied - I achieved the IG feed of my dreams. Lol. Anyway, back to my word. So what’s with 4666? Let me narrate in bullet points (for less grammatical errors hahaha). Dec 19: I noticed that my IG followers were on decline at 4666 (and as of writing, numbers are still on decline hahaha). Okay ..read more

My mom and I could’ve saved at least PHP 200,000 or around $4000 in the past 20 years. Thanks mom for paying my salon visits until I got my 1st paycheck. I’ve always sported bobs and mid-length styles as a small child. So fast forward to fifth grade, I started wanting to finally grow my hair. However, my hair became really unruly, and kinkier and curlier than ever. I was jokingly called "Kirara", an aeta fictional character in a Philippine TV show, so I decided to straighten my hair and spend less time outdoors. On a side note, I’m so glad that more and more Filipinos are now finally embracin ..read more

Christmas, the most wonderful and hectic time of the year! But here's how we're managing the Christmas stress so far. Christmas is ALL ABOUT JESUS. Gifts, and merry-makings are all but bonuses. So, having a minimalist Christmas teaches us to focus on the real meaning of Christmas, and be simply grateful for what Jesus has done for us. Advent My family just started doing this tradition this 2020. "Coming" in Latin, Advent celebrates the anticipation of the arrival of Jesus into the world. It is celebrated four Sundays before Christmas Day. Though some prefer counting down everyday - because w ..read more

If you’ve seen the Netflix series “The Minimalists”, then the term Minimalism is something that you’ve been hearing for sometime now. So, what is Minimalism? There’s actually no definite dictionary definition for it; aside from the minimalism as an art trend, which btw is my favorite genre. But, it’s mostly defined as intentionally living with only the essentials. Meaning, every single thing you own should have and serve its purpose. Minimalism for me is different for each person. Some prefer to downsize by moving to a smaller home or building a simpler wardrobe capsule. Others produce the th ..read more

YASSSSSS, Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless is my daily drugstore holy grail! AND I love that it keeps on getting better. My Fit Me! Bottles in the past months I was a 128 warm nude shade - beige with golden tones. After about 4 months of working from home, I noticed that I'm now a shy shade lighter. Oh, how I miss the sun.

Looking at the swatches, looks like this is the next lighter warm shade in their range of 20 shades available here in the Philippines. SHADE The 118 is descri ..read more

School year 2020-2021 will go on! Or if it doesn’t, learning will never stop. We are still adjusting in our new norm – and it’s not easy balancing work from home, household chores, and passion works. If adjusting can be stressful for us adults, how much more for the little Prince, right? So, we are trying to help and provide the best support we can – including these must-have items and a little home organizing tweak. Though there are cheaper items available in the market, we decided to stretch our budget a little to ensure quality. So far (though there’s a time when he got really emotional an ..read more

2011 must have been “the” year to get married for royals. Like the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, we tied the knot that year, around 2 months after they said I DO. Like other brides, I got intrigued on what Princess Catherine wore and WHY it costs almost half a million dollars. Surprisingly, it was only in 2017, after 6 years, that I found an article that answered my curiosity. As a result, I thought of creating WHY mine ONLY costs less than $1000. Obvious Reason # 1: We’re not the real royal couple!  1. Ruffles and Tons of Tulle Petticoat Ruffles were a trend the ..read more

Engagement shoots can cost a bit, especially  if you’re planning to have three! – so, that makes it tiring too. Gladly, our photographer / best man (really THE BEST), Joppet Tan, was really game for it! RUN King loves to run. He is the “King of the road”. I kinda don’t. When I met King, everything changed. I was a bit challenged to put running back into my system. My best time so far: 45 mins (for 5k). I know that’s weak for some. But for me, that’s huge EAT This is what I look forward to after every run. A friend once mentioned that ther ..read more
