Ah, my love affair with makeup. How do I begin? Just a couple of days ago I was talking to my husband about how I was more into discovering and learning about makeup three years ago. These days, it takes effort to make me pick up a brush and just play with products. I’ve even …
It’s back! If you’ve been here way back when I started this little space, you’ll already know what I’m talking about. If you’re new here, hello! I’m reviving an old series I used to run over here because there are just so many things going around. And I want to share those you should know about. …
The beauty world has no shortage when it comes to new products. From those you can weirdly apply to buzzy ingredients, there are lots to go around for everyone. And the latest “it” ingredient everyone’s going gaga for? Pumpkin. It could be because fall is about to begin on the other side of the world …
“A woman who has a toe problem.” That’s been my identifier for the past couple of months. I’ve been trying to sort out what started as a simple — definitely preventable — bout with an ingrown toenail. I’m almost done battling with it, thankfully (a minor surgery and doctor-administered cleaning later). Since I think about it a …
My makeup routine has been sized down to four steps. I’d say it’s because I’m finally no longer a pseudo-minimalist — that I’ve actually succeeded in Marie Kondo-ing my stash and left only four items — but it’s more because of my mood (or lack of drive, if I’m being really honest). More often than not I’d …
My love affair with ukay–ukay started around eight or nine years ago. I was at my first job and the pay wasn’t exactly good enough for me to afford the wardrobe I was dreaming of at the time (you know, the typical high street fashion brands). I splurged from time to time when I could afford it, …
I’m not the type to solely choose natural products over everything else, but I do try some of them once in a while. (There are some products from a local natural skincare and cosmetics brand that I really like.) So when I was sent the Carbon Coco Ultimate Carbon Kit, I was open to it probably whitening …
After a couple of years of just not minding whether I look like I combed my hair, I’m happy to say that I’m finally in a place where I can actually get away without combing my hair and it looks okay. I used to have really nice hair (just ask my husband!) but somewhere along …
I’ve probably already said it before and maybe more than once, but I love ukay (or thrift shopping as it’s called in other countries). What is believed to have started in Baguio in the 1980s (called wagwagan, named after the way one would dust off a piece of clothing), ukay-ukay, derived from the word halukay …
So, it’s been a while. I know I said in our About page that I somehow don’t get tired of writing even though I do it a lot and I edit a lot of other people’s works, but it’s changed now, friends. These days I find myself just scrolling through my feed instead of writing …
