Catching Up
For the past few months, I have to admit, I’ve been nothing but busy. I’d say 50% of being busy was good but the other half? Well, not so much. I’ve been having health checkups and more sick leaves taken due to exhaustion and being burned out. Let’s just say the time I need to do things – well, it’s not enough. Number one, work … Continue reading Catching Up
DIY: Homemade Toilet Bombs
I just love DIYs. They’re cheap, fun and so easy to do. This is a short guide on how we (my husband and I worked on them) made our very own toilet bombs and we are so in love with just having them at home. We try to save as much time as we can at home. We put marriage/ family (with Boogie, our 11 year-old … Continue reading DIY: Homemade Toilet Bombs
Stylebox MNL: Reversible Tote Bag
For months now, I’ve been looking for a good and affordable Vegan leather reversible tote – one that I can use (formally) at work and (casually) when I go out. There are a lot of these bags online, to my dismay though, are not available in Manila. A week ago, a friend of mine offered to sell me a Coach bag and like any normal woman … Continue reading Stylebox MNL: Reversible Tote Bag
Nature’s Gate: Enriching Biotin + Bamboo Shampoo and Conditioner
I decided to switch to this product right after my first Vegan and Non-GMO ones (JĀSÖN® Volumizing Lavender Shampoo and Conditioner) because that didn’t work for me as I’d expected. It made my hair so dry and limp that I decided to switch to a different brand. I also noticed that JĀSÖN® products are too harsh for my skin. Although my skin isn’t as sensitive as my … Continue reading Nature’s Gate: Enriching Biotin + Bamboo Shampoo and Conditioner
DIY : 100% Natural Gel Eyeliner (Waterproof)
I’ve been pretty quiet these few weeks as I’ve been ramping up basic materials to get me going with my homemade ideas. It doesn’t seem like it but I love making diy products : they’re inexpensive, natural and the best thing of all – they’re cruelty free! I started a few weeks ago making aromatherapy oil mixes and ointments and decided maybe it’s time to take it a … Continue reading DIY : 100% Natural Gel Eyeliner (Waterproof)
Gabriel Cosmetics : Moisturizing Liquid Foundation
Transitioning from M.A.C. to cruelty-free products was a big step for me but I was eager and desperate to find the right mix that will provide me the coverage I needed – a big risk for someone who’s been loyal to a product for years. I was so excited when I read about this product so I quickly searched for it (calling Healthy Options stores) and luckily … Continue reading Gabriel Cosmetics : Moisturizing Liquid Foundation
Zucchini and Corn Quinoa Salad
Last night, my husband and I did our weekly scheduled grocery. As we were picking out vegetables for our dinner tonight, I turned and spotted the beautiful zucchini corner. Zucchinis are almost always mistaken as cucumber (here in my country), funny but true. Oh, I love these greens – not only are they good sources of magnesium (good for muscle and nerve function), but like Quinoa, they are packed with … Continue reading Zucchini and Corn Quinoa Salad
