Barba Eco Tote

I got my Barba eco tote last Sunday! Have you bought yours yet? With all that room and durability, P400 is well worth it! I'll buy the Claparols bag next time when I'm in the mood.

Ilog Maria Spearmint Soap

This is the last soap that I bought from Ilog Maria. Now what's so wrong about this soap? As if the lavender soap wasn't bad enough, this soap gave me even bigger rashes! And it affected me all over! The lavender soap only gave me rashes on my neck, chest and arms. This soap gave me rashes up to my legs and feet! I also couldn't find any major differences in smell among the 3 soaps. I guess this was mintier than the other two for obvious reasons. Other than that, they're almost all the same to me. Don't get me wrong here. My sensitivity might have been caused by all those meds over the years so if you have normal skin, I suggest that you give this a try. After all, these products are well received by many and it wouldn't hurt to support our local farms and entrepreneurs.

Stellar Stella?

I snub all other magazines because for me, Cosmo is the best. I think Stella magazine has been around for some time now but it's only last Monday that I was able to see it - at Waltermart nonetheless! I bought this copy at Bibliarch for P120. What drew me to the magazine is the cover's texture. It's matte laminated. I'm forever a Cosmo chick but I said what the heck, a little peek wouldn't hurt, right? I think the photography was excellent. I don't like Heart but her pictures here spoke to me. Never mind the blank or awkward stares at times. I just liked how the pictures came out. They were simple but artistically done. I'm not a photographer and I don't claim to be an expert on pictures. I am simply stating how I feel about the photography in Stella. Here are some of the sections that caught my eye: How to transform clothes from day to night. Style guide for every shape. Clothes, clothes and more clothes! Believe me, they featured a lot of clothes in th...

Fanny Serrano Eyelash Curler

Has anybody tried this product? I bought this during the weekend but only used it this morning. I don't like it! It's too hard to squeeze and it didn't curl my lashes at all. I spent 20 seconds "curling" the part closest to my lids and nothing. The handles also hurt my finger bones (or maybe I just have really sensitive bones because of my illness?). I kept squeezing and squeezing but nothing happened whereas with my Face Shop curler, I only need a few seconds and the job gets done. I don't even need to apply mascara. This costs around P120, the Face Shop curler ,I think, costs P199. I'd rather shell out P199 more than to try and use this again. But, oh, the other crimper got an award from Cosmo. It's the flat one. I think I'll try that next time.

Savvy Tips on Surviving The Rain

*Photo is from http://www.umbrellas.net/ Doesn't it bother you when it rains in the morning and you're on your way to work? Yes, I'm talking to girls who commute. Girls who ride the jeepney, bus, tricycle, what have you to work. It's soooooo frustrating especially when you've already chosen and ironed your outfit the night before. All of a sudden you have to change your entire look because it's not weather (and commuting in the rain) appropriate. 1. BRING AN UMBRELLA!! Now why did I type this on all caps? Because I still see women on the streets running to safety because they don't have an umbrella even when it already started to rain at 5 am! So what's your excuse? The umbrella's too heavy, it clashes with my outfit, it's too tacky to bring an umbrella, yadda, yadda, yadda. Well guess what, you'll look tackier when you step inside your office looking like a drenched cat. There are a lot of light weight, foldable umbrellas out there and they...
