Diet Diary: Coolin' down for the summer

Image
Happy Monday Ladies!  Summer is one season that I am really excited since I can go to the beach and I have the perfect excuse to wear shorts again haha!  The heat has been unbearable and I think everyone can agree to that especially if you are here in the Philippines. Cooling off this summer won't have to be a struggle if you are losing weight since there is a lot of things we can do to still shed the pounds while cooling off.

Updates! Updates! + Hater Alert!

Ola ladies! I haven't blogged for a couple of days because: 1. I am currently suffering from sun burn from my recent outing with my office mates. 2. I have a hater that I tracked down.  Lez gow to number 1 I am so ashamed/glad/sad/embarrassed/happy (yes all at the same time) because after nearly 3 years I got myself sun burned AGAIN. Last time was 3 years ago when me and my guy friends went to Baler for a weekend of surfing. I got really burned back then and I promised myself it won't happen again, but alas it did happen again.  I was glad because I was able to reduce my fairness. Being fair skinned has its fair share of good and bad perks. The down side though is I still stuck out as a soar thumb because of the redness. Luckily I was able to buy aloe vera gel to soothe my skin whenever I am feeling the urge to scratch my skin.  Lets go to the second one which is my hater. For a couple of days there is this youtube who will not be named anymore that kept

Movie Night: Country Strong + Akunin

Image
A couple of weeks ago I was able to watch these movies because I was pretty bored with my Sunday night.  One of the things that I do to lessen the boredom is write or watch somethings. I was clearly not in the mood to write that Sunday night since tomorrow I will have to go to work and resume with my day job. Not that I'm complaining :D  I was able to see two films that really gave me a glimpse of the life of a star and also a villain. These films are not your typical movies so expect to do a little research after watching these films :) 

Diet Diary: Blending my veggies

Image
Happy Monday!  I have been on a diet for a while now and sometimes when I am very tired of eating veggies I actually resort myself into blending them.  Yes. I am serious.  People may find it weird but I think its a better way for me to get to have veggies into my system. I did not really grew up eating lots of veggies, I like fruits more but I am getting the hang of eating vegetables. Most of the vegetables that I blend is lettuces, cucumbers and tomatoes. I mix them up with some honey or fruits so they won't smell or taste like grass. I also add some flax seeds for additional fiber. My brother mistakenly drank one of these and it was hilarious since he is not used to it. He actually told me it tasted like grass. He thought it was wheat grass Haha!  I have weighed myself the other day and I saw that I lost around 1 lbs which is good. Walking my dog really helped me lose more weight since its a bit of a struggle to make Georgia go somewhere. Try to ask a

How to make the most of your concealers

I have been using the Ever Bilena Advanced concealer for a while now and I've noticed that I am running low on it already. I was initially going to buy a new one but I saw that there is still some product in the tube so I looked for a way to get those.

Product Review: Maybelline bb cream

Image
I have been using this BB cream for a month now and these are just some of the things I have noticed and experienced on it. I can actually say that I am a total beginner with BB creams and this is the first BB cream that I've tried. I've already read and seen reviews about this product before and its actually a mix of rants and raves.

Simple Sundays with my Family

Image
Usually on Sundays me and my family would just be at home since that is the last day we can rest longer. But last Sunday was different since we visited my dad and also celebrated Palm Sunday.   Here's my cute nephew doing his gyaru faces. I don't know where he learned those but I can definitely say I didn't teach him that! haha!  We first visited my dad since it was his birthday last March 28. Usually we visit him twice a month but because we are preparing for my brother's wedding, there were times that we forgot and I am really sorry for that Papa.  Quick FOTD and OOTD    FOTD:  Maybelline BB cream Ever Bilena cosmetic collection (eye shadows) LA Blush in pink blush Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Pink Flame I'm actually going for a very spring / summer look.  OOTD:  Shirt and Pants (Thrift store) Shoes: Natasha Accessories: Necklace given by Viva Andrada during the F*Art event ^_^ I went for an all

March Favorites and Empties

Image
Its April and I can't believe it! ^_^ How was your March ladies? Was it good? great? or superb? by the way congratulations to the graduates of 2012 and welcome to the real world! ^0^ I haven't really went through a lot of items last March so I only have 6 items. Sorry I was only able to take a picture of 4 of my favorites since my favorite shampoo had already run out  and I forgot to take a picture on my fanny serrano lash curler :( Lez begin! 1. Japanese Shampoo.  I wasn't able to google the name of it but its like pantene in Japan according to my friend. I like the scent of this shampoo and also it makes my hair super shiny and soft and cleans my scalp well ^^,  2. Bath and Body Works' body cream in cool citrus and basil.  I've actually been using this every single day as a lotion and it just makes me feel so refreshed afterwards.  3. Bath and Body works' body splash in pink grapefruit.  I have been using this product s

If you have seen me in person I don't really wear a lot of make up not unless I need to, but for everyday wear I have resorted myself in applying at least one of the two products above.

A New Kind of Facial Experience with Svelte Welness Center and Casmara

Image
I am the kind of girl that rarely go on facials. And when I say rarely its like only when there is a major event coming like a wedding or something. I mostly do Do-It-Yourself facials at home since I don't really have a lot of time to go to a spa or facial center.
