Braindump 3: Everything happens for a reason.

I feel God is slowly revealing the reasons why I had to go through what I did at MWC. It's to further define who I am and see myself in a different light. I've heard so many people say that I'm not cut out to be a leader because of my personality and for the …

Braindump 2: Lovin’ the good, the bad, and the ugly

It's sad to find out that the person you love makes you hate or be ashamed of the life that you have, the decisions or mistakes that you made, and the things that you enjoy. I've always been a grateful person. Yes, I do sometimes complain or whine about the small stuff but I will …

Braindump 1: Self-love = Zumba

I'm proud of myself today. I put myself out there, joined a Zumba class at work and danced in front of co-workers -- sweating, panting, almost to the point I'm fugly but I didn't care. I enjoyed every moment of it! I'm tired. My muscles are aching (muscles that I already forgot exist... hahaha). I …

My new skin care routine

When I was a teenager, I never really cared about my skin. I don't mind staying and playing under the sun. I never liked wearing sunblock and putting on lotion on a daily basis because of that icky, gunky feeling I get each time. And don't get me started on the acne, oooh, boy, they …

Review: Mary Kay Timewise Matte Foundation (Beige 5)

Review: Silisponge

Silisponge IG @theboutiqueinstyle Price: Php100 (used Globe rewards points since this is an additional item) Easy to clean. Your cream and liquid makeup products go a long way using this tool.

Review: De Luxe makeup brush set

*Photos to follow Deluxe makeup brush set IG @theboutiqueinstyle Price: Php350 (with free brush pot) + shipping fee I like the weight and feel of each brush on my hand.

Review: The Face Shop Browcara

*Photos to follow The Face Shop Browcara The Face Shop SM North EDSA branch Price: Php375 (Promo: Buy 1 Take 1 last November) Its consistency is better than the Etude House Brow tint as it doesn’t clump. The product is much easier to manage and doesn’t have shimmer in it, which makes it perfect for …

Hello, 2017. Hello, my VHJ!

It’s been almost 14 months since I last visited and posted something my WP account and boy, are my writing skills rusty. LOL. 2016 was a great year, but it was also a busy one. That’s why I was MIA for more than a year. Don’t think anyone missed me, though. Hahaha! Just a quick update on …
