How long does it take for you to shower? Well, my Panget spends 5 minutes, I can't for the life of me understand how he can finish everything in 5 minutes!  I personally spend at least 15minutes in the shower.  Too long?  Well, I wish I had a bathtub so I can bathe longer!  Hahaha.  The thing that comes to mind is the scene in the TV show Friends when Monica introduces Chandler to having a *long bath*.  Baths can de-stress us, it de-stresses me! Busy Days Deserve #LUXNights   There’s no better time to be a woman than right now. It’s a moment to celebrate, as we watch women like you leading meetings and conquering the most challenging of tasks, always dressed in an unapologetically feminine fashion.

At the end of your productive day, when all the boxes of your to-do list have been ticked, don’t you believe you des...

I'm sharing with you the loot that I won from Animetric's OWL Coffee giveaway! Yes, I am very generous that way.  I like sharing what I get!  Don't you agree? I want to share because I believe in the product.  Their products are really good!  Since receiving the prizes yesterday, I have tried each variant and I am so loving them!  I am not much of a coffee drinker, but these are really good considering they're instant. One of the nicer things that I noticed and instantly liked - is that the packaging has a label that tells you what kind of coffee you are getting!  I don't mean the flavor (hazelnut, plain or original) but the INTENSITY of the coffee that you are getting!  There are STRENGTH , SWEETNESS & MILKINESS indicator on the pack so you'll know which variant will suit your taste!  I think that's a wonderful thing - because this sets them apart from the rest!  Consumers nowadays are very patient in reading labels and this...

Starbucks Reserve is a store where partners are all Coffee Masters.  Why is this so?  Well because the products, like them are hand-picked because of their excellence.  Starbucks Reserve offers coffee enthusiasts a selection of rare, most exotic and extremely limited coffees from unusual locales around the world. Here is their exclusive debut to Starbucks Reserve Philippines: My favorite it the Zambia Peaberry Terranova Estate because among the four - it's the lightest and I love the hint of Vanilla.  We were informed that this is the LAST batch of coffee beans thus this is the rarest coffee bean among the four. These exclusive coffees are only available in Starbucks Reserve stores.  And here in the Philippines, there are currently two (2) Starbucks Reserve stores that are open.  One is the Tomas Morato branch while the other is at the 8 Forbes Town (near Burgos Circle).  There will be three more Starbucks Reserve stores to be opened this y...

Bottoms Up! Yes, that's what is written on the label of Oishi's Smart C+!  I am one who doesn't believe much in popping vitamins (pills).  I'd like to get my vitamins naturally - like in juices and in food!  For one, I LOVE milk and so I drink it everyday - and that's my natural dose of Calcium.  But for Vitamin C, well - I have to confess, I rarely drink OJ, and even if I make lemon water, I doubt that its enough of a dose. I'm glad to know that a local brand - Oishi is now offering a Vitamin C+ a thirst quenching alternative to those pills!! In light of this new offering/discovery - I'm giving away 12 bottles of Smart C+'s (6-Pomelo Grapefruit and 6-Lemon Squeeze) Please note that this giveaway is open to Metro Manila residents who are willing to meet up to pick up the prize in Quezon City - specifically, Trinoma Mall, Robinson's Magnolia, SM North and Fisher Mall.  I also beg you not to force me to sponsor shipping to your address.  I ...

Last year, I won two of these bags at Tita K's giveaway on Live Love Lolz.  I fell in love with them as soon as I got them.  The two bags that I got I brought with me to Tokyo (May 2013), one I gave to a friend together with her pasalubong, and she loved it!  She even texted me back to compliment on the bag, she said it was so roomy, lightweight and different from other eco bags because it folds flat. The other one I used everyday in Tokyo, and I was so proud lugging it around!  I remember reading on the flyer of the bag that the material is actually the same material used in parachutes!  Cool right? Naturally when we got back, I was uneasy of having just one (1) piece, so I trotted to True Value Trinoma (because I was told that they carried these babies) unfortunately, the stocks haven't arrived yet.  But I knew I had to have one, luckily we went to Shangri-La Mall the next day and the True Value there had it, so I bought two more.  I placed on in ...

When I was still a grade schooler - I would remember our science subject discussing the topic of the greenhouse effect and Global Warming.  My alma matter I think was trying to make us more conscious of our environment.  I know for sure that we were being informed on the effects, so that when we get older, we would become more aware of taking care of our environment. I'm glad to see that in the recent years, there have been so many 'natural' alternatives to certain chemicals that we use in our homes and on our selves.  People have been joining the eco-friendly movement and trying their best to take care of nature by using and supporting earth friendly products.   Kalikhasan has made an effort to showcase that there is an eco-friendly alternative to chemical based cleaning solutions.  Whats great about Kalikhasan is that it is environmentally friendly, organic and most importantly 100% Filipino! This Christmas, Kalikhasan is offering their Ho-Ho-Holiday...
