Love your boo, but not the type to dish out money for overpriced, usual Valentines flowers and goodies? I hear you. I'm more of a practical, timeless and within-my-budget kinda girl myself. And the husband and I always go low-key with presents on Valentines in favor of hitting the shops together after the 14th. On the hunt for chic, minimalist presents that will...
Hello, lovers and hello, September! Hope yours kicked off with a great start- I'm pretty pumped myself as it is my birthday month! September also rings in fall as we all know- thank goodness temperatures haven't dipped like crazy yet, but it's never too early to start preparing the layers, right? This year, I don't really want to deviate too much from my...
Do you think it is ever too early to think about the holidays? Back in the Philippines, malls start selling Christmas decor and radio stations start playing Christmas songs as early as the first week of September. I kid you not! Our country does love the holiday season a big deal, haha. Now, I don't usually go all out with "holiday dressing" like...
original article and infographic courtesy of Makeup.com I think this infographic is definitely worth sharing, and obviously self-explanatory. As someone who has worked behind the makeup counter for almost a year, I encountered quite a few... interesting stories from some customers about the shelf life of most of their makeup, and it wasn't very pleasant. Heck, I was pretty guilty of this myself...
How is everyone doing?! Today, I'm all about watches. Not gonna lie, my watch game is not that strong yet, but I'm trying to get a small yet carefully curated collection going. I remember my mom always scolding me for not wearing one most days-- apparently she equates watch wearing to being conscious of time, which in return indicates a person's level of...
I believe that every single guy and gal out there has their own personal list of holy grail items that they can't live without. You guys know exactly what I mean -- personal items that, no matter how hard you try to let go of or mix it up, just can't escape. In the beauty department, I found two things I know I...
random streets and scenes, downtown Toronto Photos by Thaad and Eden Sabolboro Ah... Toronto. It is downright impossible NOT to fall in love with this beautiful and extremely vibrant city. I'm all about big cities that put arts and culture at the forefront, and Toronto is definitely one of those places where there's just so much of that to experience....

Target Holiday 2014 Beauty Box for Her Winter 2014 Beauty boxes are usually either big hits or big misses. You either score big with your monthly box, or get repeats or little sample items... so yeah, I'm still in limbo whether or not monthly subscriptions are worth my hard earned money (especially since I get a lot of product with my current job). However,...
Usually a seasonal release over the summer, some of the favorites from the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess line, such as the Bronze Goddess Skinscent (a personal favorite!) will now be available year round. Yipee! Aside from getting to play with makeup all day and being able to play with many different faces, one thing I love the most about working in the beauty...
As much as I'd hate to admit it, I've only been "converted" into Japanese food worship only a few years back. I grew up in a kitchen that mastered the oily goodness of Filipino food down to a science, and even when we went out, our family would constantly seek the same thing. It took eating out on my hard-earned salary to finally...
Another day, another opportunity to get rid of super backlogged posts! I'll waste no breath as I've got a lot, as in a LOT, of awesome things to share starting the end of last year to now. Here we go! :) Sometime on the first week of December, I went back to Manila to take part in Bloggers United 6. Going to Manila is...
