Alice Does Blogs

Hey guys!  I know its been a while since I've written something here and I know IT SUCKS.  I actually missed writing on my blog because its a form of therapy for me but after EVERYTHING that had happened I just decided to stop for a while because I didn't felt comfortable and just wanted to step away from the blogging world.  And I've decided to come back.  But why though?  Because now I feel more at ease with myself. And also I've finally decided the path I want to take in this platform.  Before I would always had articles written for brands and companies which to be honest I wasn't that comfortable in talking about so I just decided to make this blog my sanctuary where I can write my feelings, experiences and not have deadlines from brands.  To be honest, there isn't really anything wrong about that, but if the only reason I'm writing is about a brand I would choose not to write at all. I will still be making reviews and other articles that I love to...

Last Christmas my mom's friend gave this to me. I don't know if I should be insulted or annoyed. (NOTE: THERE ARE NOT PICTURES IN THIS POST BECAUSE MY LAPTOP GOT REFORMATTED BY ACCIDENT. BUT WILL TRY TO FIND A WAY TO GET THE PICTURES UP AS SOON AS I CAN.) Clearly you guys know that I am of the female species. So when she gave this to me I was like...yeah...thank you tita! But inside I was fuming that hell had no chance in being hotter than my head. Because it clearly says this is for men - am I a man?? But since she gave this to me I might as well try it right? Girl why?! This is not available in Avon Philippines which to be honest THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS MEN! I will start this review by saying this is purely from my experience in using this product and I still think Avon is a great company the produces amazing products so here goes. So according to the website, this is an effective creamy scrub with Pore Firming Technology, lifts away pore-clogging dirt and exce...

It is true that the older you get, the wiser you become. I admit that when I was younger I did things that I am not supposed to do. I was able to learn from these experiences and accept that I am just like anybody else - I am human, capable of making great things in life, but also capable of committing mistakes and getting hurt. And one thing I learned is to be a better person, you have to let go of toxic people and situations you are in. I will tell you some things I have learned to move on in a healthy way from a toxic relationship. This can be a toxic friendship to even toxic family members (Don't deny we all have one in our lives!) 1. Define Toxic You have to define first if it was a toxic relationship to begin with. You would know if it is one when it is like a pattern that happens frequently with you and that person. Would you always get into arguments out of petty things and the argument was not resolved? Are you still happy in the relationship? Does it give you person...

   Exercise and me don't jive...it just doesn't go well! But trying out new stuff is what I actually like so when I got invited to try Aerial Hoops at Elite Aerial studio I am quite excited and nervous at the same time. Excited because its an activity I have only seen on television and performances, Nervous because I might die falling from it - Just thinking the worst case scenario guys don't think it actually happened to me (duh) Elite Aerial studio is actually near my house here in Quezon City. Its located in Maginhawa st. which is a known destination for foodies. Okay now to the whole experience. We started with stretching to be able to do the stunts on the aerial hoops which is basically cardio on steriods when I was doing it. I have said earlier that I don't like high intensity workouts but I stuck on it like a trooper and did what I can. I liked that some of the stretches at first involved a bit of yoga and it also incorporated the pole and the other tools for ...

Ola!  As a beauty blogger, I get tons of products to review on a daily basis and usually I do a patch test before actually using a product. What is a patch test?  It's basically a simple procedure where you test it first on a small amount to see if you develop an allergic reation towards it.  Here is a short story before I tell you why this is important. A couple of years ago, a company sent me a product to review with a full disclosure that if this gave an allergic reaction to me I won't post the review which they actually agreed on because I am willing to pay for the next batch of products I will order from their store if this product works out.  For the first couple of days I noticed red bumps on my skin which bothered me. I didn't actually analyzed it further until the third day of using the product - It made my skin itchy and red that I had to go to the doctor!  I don't have the pictures anymore because it was super bad which I also reported to the company ...

This is a lengthy post so bear with me and I hope you learn something from this.  I almost   decided to quit blogging some time ago - why?  Because I grew tired of the competition of being the first.  I grew tired to being in constant fear that my work is not good enough.  I grew tired of the constant thought of being irrelevant.  These are just some of the things that blurred the real reason why I started to write. Until one day I just decided to screw everything and go back.  This all started last year, when I started my bakery. I was immersed to the business more than writing, then came when my grandmother passed, I was down and didn't found a reason to even read. And then my uncle passed a few months ago. It was so unexpected that it also broke my spirit down.  I felt so uninspired to write for some time. I felt lost and confused if what I should be doing. I love writing but I dreaded the thought of not being relevant. I actually love the thou...

I know I should have updated this blog site for a while but I have been so busy I actually forgot this. It sucks because I want this platform to be a source of Information but since I have been busy I neglected this site.  To my avid readers - thank you for continuing the support and love you have given me, some of you even transferred to my youtube channel since I have updated that more than this!  To those that have asked that if I have transferred to youtube in making content - yes, but not entirely. I will still post here but currently I am trying to bring back my live for writing and not feel so toxic about writing.  I have also been missing in action because I got a new dog.  Meet Nikko a.k.a. sharky He is the source of my happiness now. Just like my other furbabies he is a total goof ball. He is a sweetheart too! Just look at his adorkable-ness (I know thats not a real word so shut up k? )  I have also been spending a lot of time with mudra so currentlu m...
