I Don’t Treat My Skin the Same Every Day

 

This lotion now joins my collection of empties this month

I’m letting my body decide now when it comes to choosing products that stay.
But my reality is that, my body is ever-changing. 
Sometimes she says yes to a particular product then 2 weeks later, 
I’m reacting to it. 

Other times, I can use a product continuously without any hitch. 
But I still want to be careful. 

Especially with my skin.

So I don’t treat my skin the same every day. 
I rotate products. 


Days spent at home require something light, easy to absorb. 
Also easy on my senses. 
Especially to my nose. 

Going out requires something stronger. 
And that’s where the Luxe Organix above came into play. 

I stopped using it daily. 
The scent just sat heavy on my chest. 
But when I go out? 
That’s a different story. 

I’m constantly bombarded with different smells that I don’t notice what’s on my skin anymore. 
So I used it on my legs. 
That way I don’t assault my nose, but still get the lotion’s benefits. 

This was a thick lotion that moisturized my very dry skin well. 
I don’t know about the whitening promise. 
I got this mainly because I needed a new lotion that time and it was on 
BOGO. 😆
Yeah, I know. 


As for my arms? 
This one does the job perfectly. 
Very surprising for something that was on sale. 
(Are you seeing a pattern here? 😏)

Navigating my skin is proving to be a wild ride. 
And I’ve been riding for years. 
But I know I’ll finish the ride soon.

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. 
My skin is getting better. 
And I’m holding on to my small wins 
one day at a time.

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...
