Bamboo and Green Tea

*This is a scheduled post. By press time, I’ve finished the bottle already.

I’ve been using this product for over a week now, almost 2 weeks in 3 days. It has its pros and cons. One thing that I absolutely love about it though, is the scent. It’s so refreshing! The scent is unisex, by the way.

This is of course from the Bench Organic line. I like how they fused these ingredients together to create a shower gel. The gel is a bright green, adapting the colors of its main ingredients. It takes a lot to make a good lather. I love using shower gels/body washes because I love the bubbles. I don’t feel clean when there is a scarcity of bubbles.

And because of that, this bottle will probably just last me 2 weeks or a little over that. This costs 80 pesos, the same as my Dove Go Fresh Body Wash (which lasts up to a month) so it’s more practical and economical to go back to Dove. As much as I love the scent, I have to go back to Dove. I can’t go buying this every 2 weeks.

Another thing that I don’t like about it is it dries up my skin. It’s still cold nowadays and my skin looks like a snake’s skin. This body wash aggravates that so now I have to apply lotion more often.

The funny/ironic thing is, I have a lot of insect bites on my legs and they are really itchy. The green tea in the body wash soothes the insect bites. But then, it dries out the rest of my legs making those parts itchy. So, it cures one problem and creates another.

If you don’t have uber dry skin like I do, I suggest you give this a try. Or give this as a gift to the man in your life. I think he’ll appreciate it.

  2. whoa! I'm thinking if I tried other organic soaps in the past. hmmm... I didn't know that most organic products have that effect. I heard one beauty expert say that organic products are less effective. For example, comparing branded moisturizers/anti aging products with an organic moisturizer. The expert said that the reason why these branded moisturizers are expensive because they are manufactured to combat a specific problem and that's the reason why they are effective whereas an organic product relies solely on the performance of its main organic ingredient which is not as effective. If you're going to buy, might as well buy something that works.

    Thank you for your comment. From now on, I will be aware of the moisturizing effects of my organic products and see if they are really effective.

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...
