April showers bring May flowers

06.12.2016 by Leah // 3 Comments

Sweet April showers. Do spring May flowers. - Thomas Tusser, 1557 I will forever remember May 2016 as the month where I celebrated a lot of milestones - at work mostly, but it's also my wedding anniversary month so I'm really overflowing with love and gratefulness! Let me share with you some of last month's highlights: A tour of the National Museum of the ... READ MORE

Faith.Hope.Love

I love discovering and trying out natural/organic skin food products, especially locally made ones, because they really do wonders to my skin.  Some of them have become part in my skincare regimen like the soaps, tea tree oil and massage rub cream from GIGA, bee propolis products from Ilog Maria and the pocket hand sanitizers and hand soaps from Human Nature. Now, I'm happy ... READ MORE

Best Selling Korean Products are now in Manila through NWorld!

12.19.2015 by Leah // 25 Comments

Celebrities and beauty junkies swear by the instant effects of Korean beauty products.  I have been doing my research on them for a while now so when I heard that there’s finally a Philippine-based distributor for them, I grabbed the opportunity and bought a package immediately. However, I think I got more than what I bargained for.  I was just supposed to buy the products ... READ MORE

Green Favorites

I just realized that most of the beauty + hygiene products I'm using right now are in GREEN!  Check these out: Listerine's Natural Green Tea Antiseptic Mouthwash.   For a change, this mouthwash won't burn your gums.    It has a very light and pleasant taste that will make you gargle a bit longer just to savor it. Pond's Anti-Bacterial Facial Scrub.  I've been using ... READ MORE

Online Shopping at Human Nature

05.15.2012 by Leah // 2 Comments

I love online shopping!  It's very convenient and is actually cheaper (even after factoring in the shipping cost) because you shop at the comfort of your home, away from the temptation of taking merienda or snacks at the mall, and from buying the things you don't really need. So when I learned about Human Nature's online shopping facility (click here to register), I ... READ MORE

Trying Out Human Nature Products

03.13.2012 by Leah // 6 Comments

Human  Nature has been around for sometime but it's only recently that I got to try their products.   I see them at bazaars all the time but never got to check them out, really.   It's very rare that I find organic products with a very affordable price tag so I really get excited when I see a Human Nature booth.  But I get discouraged every time I see a crowd of people checking ...

Nivea's Happy Time Deodorant.   I love the orange scent and shower fresh feeling, not to mention the reliable protection I get all day long.   Vaseline's Cocoa Butter Deep Conditioning Body Lotion.  I've been using Vaseline's Healthy White Lotion for the longest time.   My skin loves it and I love both its smell and milky texture (I hate sticky lotions).  Recently I bought the ...

Of course, every bride wants to be radiant and be the most beautiful girl on her wedding.  That is why it is very important that we take care of our skin for the big day.I am, at the moment, relying on my regular skin care regimen to help me achieve a smooth and blemish-free skin for my wedding.    I generally do not wear make-up, not even a facial powder, ...

#throwback to Easter 2019 when @ajdeleon77 and I t #throwback to Easter 2019 when @ajdeleon77 and I took mommy and daddy to a double date at Rockwell Powerplant. Today is daddy's 11th month in heaven 💜 The coming weeks are sure going be tough for me because the painful memories from last year will start coming back as we approach his 1st death anniversary. I miss our family bonding time whether in Cebu or Makati, at the mall or simply at home. The over-extended quarantine has made it very difficult for us create new memories as a family (outside videocalls, that is). But I know that with God's grace we will overcome. 🙏

More than half of the leaves dried up.  But look, new buds have started to say 'Hi' just last week 🤗 Need talaga ng patience kapag #plantita ka. 😁
