Cherry-Covered Calm with Dove

 



If I had to describe this soap in one word, it would be: spa. 🛁 The Dove Cherry & Chia Milk Beauty Bar doesn’t just cleanse — it caresses. Soft cherry notes greet you the moment you unwrap it, and somehow, it makes even the tiniest bathroom feel like a full-on wellness retreat.


The scent? Fruity, floral, and softly creamy, like your skin’s wearing a robe and sipping tea. 😌 And unlike other fragranced soaps that leave my dry skin gasping, this one actually leaves me feeling a little more moisturized — not sticky, not tight, just… soft. And my skin really smells like cherries after showering! 


I'm also happy because, finally, after many years of using just plain Dove for sensitive skin (I have MCAS/histamine), my skin is strong enough to try scented soaps! 


💧 But here’s the hack: Layer it.

I pair it with The Face Shop Avocado Body Lotion (review soon) for a deeper moisture hug, or The Face Shop Pamplemousse (Pink Grapefruit - review soon!) Lotion when I want to play up the fresh-summer-citrus vibe. I even tried it with my Lemon Verbena lotion, and the results? Scent lasted almost all day. If you’re into layering scents like I am, this soap is a great base.


Is it enough on its own for dry-skinned girls like me? Not quite — but that’s where your lotion arsenal comes in. Think of this as the fragrant primer for your softest, spa-iest skin ever.


Another soap that is worth trying is this Lux Bright Impress for visibly bright and glowing skin. It has Japanese Camellia & Citrus Oil. It smells nice, too. Unfortunately, it leaves my skin dry and a bit itchy. My skin is too dry and sensitive for this soap, but Lux is a pretty good brand for my skin and hair, so if you have normal skin, it might be worth a try.

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

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...
