Everyday Makeup Products

Image
Hey guys! I'm back with another health and beauty article that I'm so excited to share with you. Without further ado, here are my favorite everyday makeup products. By "favorite" I mean these are the ones that I would reach for when doing my make up for the office or for church. On a regular day, when I'm feeling lazy (which is 4/5 days in the week) I would normally reach for just the concealer, mascara, and lipstick. But when I feel extra sipag or if I have a meeting to attend to, these are the things that go on my face. 1. Foundation - I have 2 go-to foundations depending on what finish I want to achieve. If I want a hulas-proof or matte finish, I usually go for the L'Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte foundation in 105 Natural Beige. I swear, this lives up to its hype! My fresh is matte all day long and it does not feel heavy on the skin. If I'm after a soft, dewy finish, I go for the L'Oreal Paris Le Teint True Match Super Blendable Liquid Founda...

One-of-a-Kind Bridal Shower!

Image
On May 5, 2018, I attended the bridal shower of one of my close friends. It was organized by her MOH and I was really excited about this because it was a different kind of bridal shower. Unlike the usual bachelorette parties wherein you go to the bar and have drinks (and strippers), this one was something that the bride will truly remember and learn something from. Bridal Party With the bride-to-be (left), Gena (my friend since college), and me Our bridal shower was...a cooking lesson! Yes! This was so unique and so useful to future wives (and for people like me who have minimal knowledge in cooking). For our lesson we were taught to make 3 dishes: Pan Roasted Chicken, Cheesy Risotto (my favorite!), and Banana Crepe. Banana Crepe Filling Cheesy Risotto It was a great experience as I got to bond and talk to the bridal party. And most of all, I came home learning 3 new dishes that I can cook anytime for my family. They also give you a copy of the recipes so you ha...

V-Day!

Valentine's is usually an ordinary day for me. Sure, you can see hearts and flowers everywhere, and couples being all sweet and lovey-dovey. But for me, it's just like any other regular day. Mi Amor and I decided not to spend the day on the 14th, as there are a LOT of people in restaurants, basically everywhere (also it was Ash Wednesday and he was coding :P) So we met on the 13th and he surprised me with a huge box of chocolates (I cri). This was surprise #1. Yes - may surprise #2!  The only photo I took because I was so "kilig"!  We met on the 15th again to celebrate Valentine's Day and to watch Black Panther (because Marvel yo!) As I entered the car, he surprised me again with this gorgeous bouquet of Stargazers (my favourite flower). This time I really cried. I can't stop saying 'thank you' and 'I love you' to this wonderful man. Up until the end of the day, I was still kinikilig. It's my 3rd time only to received a bouquet of fl...

Thank you, 2017!

Happy New Year! I can't believe it's already 2018! It seems like only yesterday, we were just starting on 2017 and look at where we are now! 2017 has been a rollercoaster ride for me. I've had so many trials, obstacles, and challenges this year that I almost felt like I wanted to give up! But then, God wouldn't give us challenges we can't face, and I have proven this by experience. 2017 has brought me different challenges in life (and at work). Not only was I able to surpass these challenges, but they have also taught be valuable lessons in life. Lessons that no one can teach me. Lessons that are learned through experience. And for that, I am thankful. 2017 also brought me great and wonderful things (and people). It was a year of moving forward, of learning, of change, and of growing up. I was able to learn to be grateful for what I have, always thankful to God for all the blessings, and I was able to learn that you can never please everyone. I was ...
