I’m Back With More Giveaways!

So, the bazaar was a success! A lot of students/faculty/outsiders welcomed Hyphen with open arms. Thank you DLSU Taft for clients and friends made during our 5-day stay there!

Did you think that the giveaways are over? Not yet, of course! Here’s more!

Prize 1:

etude house mini size u gift pack, by bitsandtreats

Mini Size U is not my favorite. I haven’t even tried it yet but I’ve read good reviews about it. So why didn’t I use this? It’s for oily skinned ladies. My skin is uber dry. So, I am giving this away to one lucky girl!

Green is my favorite color. Here are a few green things that I really love:

Prize 2

Green Sunsilk is my favorite makeup brush cleaner, Maybelline Extra Care in mint is my HG Lip Balm, the ELF powder brush is a nifty find at Sol’s booth in the last Super Sale Bazaar. I have one and it feels so good on my face! So soft! Lastly, the wedge sponges are Victoria Vogue. This is the only brand of sponges that I buy. They are quality, affordable sponges. Love them.

I think most of you already know the rules but for the benefit of newbies here they are:

1. Open to Philippine readers only.

2. You must be a follower of this blog.

3. Blog about this giveaway and send me the link. If you don’t have a blog, post in your FB or tweet it. Just send me the link.

4. All entries from the previous giveaways are included in this giveaway. BUT, if you like this prize and you don’t blog about it, you don’t get an entry and you’re not qualified to win this.

5. One person can win up to 2 prizes so there will be several winners. Just put in your FINAL blog entry (after all the giveaways have been announced) what prizes you want to win and why. I will judge based on creativity of blog post.

6. There are more giveaways to come so choose wisely. More blog posts, more chances of winning. For example, you blogged about this giveaway then you blog about the next giveaway or have blogged about the Clinique giveaway then that gives you 2 points. Highest score for the blog post is 5. So you get 7 points in total. You can blog about any (or all) of the giveaways to earn points.

7. Answer this in your blog post, What is your favorite color and what is the thing in this color that makes you happy whenever you see it? For example, my favorite color is green and I have a green clover necklace. I feel happy instantly whenever I wear it.

Which prize (from above) would you like to win and why?

8. This giveaway and all succeeding giveaways will go on until Feb. 27, 2011.

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...
