Awesome Friends

Merry Christmas everyone! I finally had some down time to blog. I’ve been very busy these past few weeks leading up to Christmas with paperwork, last-minute shopping, tending to the store, etc. Yesterday, I spent around 8 hours cooking for our Christmas dinner. We usually have Christmas dinner on the 25th but MB and I have some things to attend to today so we had the dinner last night. I will blog about the dishes that I cooked in my food blog soon.

Anyway, a few days back, I receive two awesome gifts from 2 of my my best friends. I consider them family and I love them dearly. I have very few friends and the ones that I have, I can truly say that they are for keeps. I don’t have a lot of Facebook friends, I don’t have a lot of friends in the real world but these two, I know they will be there for me no matter what.

So yeah, I got these awesome gifts because they know me very well.

This is a set of Body Souffle from A. She just recently had a trip to Australia and brought home this gift.

I love it!I am obsessed with lotions and bath products these days and these are perfect. These will have to wait though as I have to finish some of my opened products first.

This other set is from M. It’s a complete set of bath and body care products. It even comes in a cute makeup bag. I saw this at S&R back in November but I didn’t have the budget for it. Plus, I didn’t want to keep buying as my stockpile was still intact that time. M got this at Robinson’s Place Manila and I was thrilled when I opened the bag! She was really happy that I liked her gift. She said that she really thought about what to give me this year. I love it M! I will be bringing this to my out-of-town trip this January.

Thank you ladies! I truly appreciate your gifts! I love them and I love you both!

How about you? What awesome gifts have you received so far?

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...

Soft Luxe Travels: Day 1 - The Journey to Vigan Part 1

In this post, we will start our journey to Vigan! The Night Before After packing our things, I did a few things for myself to help me relax and decompress so that I can sleep. I'm a night owl and not used to waking up early nor sleeping early, so I have to be strategic.  I painted my nails that night after all my chores, so that the nail polish wouldn't chip.  However, I forgot that I needed to make pressed sandwiches for our breakfast the following day!  Because really, what’s a road trip mom without freshly painted nails and a last-minute kitchen hustle? 😂 So, I had to do a lot of washing and hoped for the best that my nail polish will not chip! Luncheon meat, eggs, Kewpie Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds at 11 PM while trying not to chip your polish. That night, we also tried the Ube Halaya from Amira's. This was from our trip to Tagaytay . I'll try to make a review of this on my food blog . With everything prepped, I finally let myself drift off—half excit...

Holiday State of Mind

  Sometimes, a quick escape is all it takes to reset the spirit. Tagaytay always gives me that holiday state of mind… Even a short drive can feel like a retreat when your heart is ready to embrace rest. My son successfully finished his recital last Sunday and as a reward, my sister treated us to Tagaytay yesterday.  Getting Ready for the Trip I decided to use my BYS Golden Hour Palette for today's look. Makeup, for me, is part of the ritual—it sets the tone that today is special. Here are the swatches: From top to bottom: Polaroid, Candid, Aperture, In Focus, Portrait, Panoramic In Focus is slightly wet, like something between a liquid and cream eyeshadow. The color is gorgeous! I love Panoramic, too! Polaroid is a bit chalky and not as pigmented as the shadows in the Queen Bee Palette.  Here are the face shades: Highlighter: Illumination Contour: Ambiance I haven't tried Illumination yet, only Ambiance. I used it on top of my BYS Bronzer. It's a buildable powder, a littl...
