Weekend Food Tripping at: Heaven n' Eggs

WARNING: Food porn again! lol

Heaven & Eggs, got famous because of their pancakes! But do not expect us just to eat pancakes! Me and my hubby are quite adventurous and we always dine in this restaurant and would order different dishes!

We were greeted with a lovely Heavenly Ambience.... Let me show you a photo of this lovely place when we were still dating!

This photo was taken at the Timog branch year 2006...
we were still BF and GF then

And now that we're married, nothing will change. We will find time once or twice a week to dine out and enjoy dishes we had and reminisce.... (60's music on the background lol)

Here's a freebie that greeted us if we use our Metrobank Credit Card
Pinoy Nacho

(tip: Always check with the waiter if there are some good freebies for certain credit card companies, they ALWAYS have something up to their sleeves and you won't know unless you ASK)

I love the crispiness of the nacho topped with cheese, tomatoes, mangoes and pork

Our all-time favorite
Asian Chicken Salad
(Php 200 something approx $5.00)

This is one of our favorite salad because the sauce is totally different. They use "Hoissen" sauce <-- Chinese sauce , instead of the usual Caesar salad. I love the crispy noodle with cabbage and the best part is the Roasted Chicken! YUMMMM BUT, today, it was a bit disappointing. Since we had this salad for more than 10x in our lifetime, that can make us an expert on this dish. The salad tastes so bitter we just have to drown the salad with water! After several bites, I told my hubby we have to tell the staffs it doesn't taste good so they won't serve it to other customers. (Yup, we do care) We told the staffs nicely and they willingly gave us back a menu and told us to order something else.

Smoked Bacon and Sausage Pasta
(for Php279.00 approx $6.00)

The garlic bread tastes wonderful. I love pastas that are of different shapes! (childish I know). You can taste the herbs every bite. This is delicious. It's good for sharing and I just love that it can tingle your tastebuds.

And since we were full with some salad we ate and the pasta, we had the Roast Beef Sandwhich order to go in exchange for the Salad that tastes "BLAH"

Roast Beef Sandwhich
(Php295.00 approx $6.50)

I can't explain how yummy it is eventhough we ate this the next day. Strips of roast beef topped with gravy and onions with my ultimate favorite food...POTATOES! I forgot the bitterness of the salad with this wonderful sandwhich!


Have you had any bad dish that you have to return?
where they nice to you?

Eureka Moment : Ardell Brow & Lash Growth Accelerator

** photo from website

Hey sweeties!

Just a quick update! I went to the mall guess what I saw?

Ardell Brow & Lash Growth Accelerator!!! It's not available in the past and I even have to order mine in the States. I saw it! I looked at it closely! hahaha just to make sure!!!

CONFIRMED!!! We have it available at SM health & beauty and Watson's stores. I've seen them exactly at SM Megamall! They didn't stock on a lot as the price doesn't come cheap. It's sold for Php550.00 (approx $12.25)

If you guys have short, non-existent lashes like mine? We may have hope! LOL but I haven't use this product yet. So please do your own research before purchasing!!!

Happy lash-accelerating!
LOL

Askmewhats Reviews: Bare Escentuals Flawless Face Brush

(this review is based on my own experience of using this product, again, different users have different opinions)

Anybody who reads my blog would know that I am not a loyal MMU user. I do use mineral e/s, foundation but not all over.

The first MMU brand that I got addicted to is the Bare Escentuals MMU. I ordered a full size foundation and a flawless face brush to start up my MMU addiction. I don't have problems with the foundie but I got super disappointed with my BE Flawless face brush.

Here's how the FF brush looks like

Bare Escentuals FF Brush says (from Sephora site) ---

With a short handle and its bristles made of ultra soft goat hair, this Flawless Application face brush will evenly distribute your bareMinerals Foundation, All-Over face color, and blush, leaving a flawless finish every time.

Askmewhats says ---

Pros

• definitely does pick up the minerals better than ordinary brushes
• I like the length, not too long and not too short, easy to use
• look quite professional and cute!
• doesn't shed too much
• when newly purchased, it does smell but nothing too bad
  

Cons

• SOFT at the start, but after several uses, it HURTS my face too much!
• Price : with it's price, you can buy better brushes

Will I repurchase?

sorry but NO

Overall?

The first time I used this brush, I was so happy and this was my favorite brush. After several washes (take note: I wash this once or twice a week with Johnson's baby shampoo) and as seen on photo above, I took care of it and it's still in good condition. When you use your finger to test the brush, it is SOFT! But when you use this brush on your face, something just ain't right. It is harsh on your face and I honestly can't pinpoint what is the problem with this. It could be the shape of the brush. I have tested this to all my family members! Even brushing this to their faces just to have the "feel" test and they all said the same thing... "OUCH!"

I have taken care of this brush,
using baby shampoo
and spritz it with leave-in conditioner after every wash
I have done my part right?
So this is a YAY or NAY?
(I go NAY)

Askmewhats Version: "Together in Electric Dreams" Look

I am so stuck with the 80's song "We're always be together...together in Electric Dreams"....

Let me go back to the purpose of this blog...
Not singing of course , but hey, I can be a good singer :P (no violent reactions ok)

After my review on the PAC e/s that I bought recently, I've used this for a couple of days and so far, I am very happy with the quality and pigmentation and not to forget, the staying power! From morning til nighttime! <-- NO CREASING!

Here's a look that I came up with I've used as minimal eye product as possible for you guys to see the "effect" of the e/s itself

Products Used ---

Eyes

• L'oreal HIP Cream(as base)
  
• PAC e/s (Applied 2x: First applied lightly all over the lids, Second, applied with a small shadow brush and pack on the colors on the lid area)
  
• MAC Black Carbon (Outer v)
• Stila Smudgepots in Black
• P&J Curly Mascara in Black
  

I am very happy with the quality! I just wish they have more colors available for me to fill up my blank palette :D And before I end this post.... Here's what I MUST do...

Smile at you guys and wish everyone a wonderful day! :D

It was a "touching" Surprise!

I woke up at 5:45am, sleepy, hoping it's Friday on my side of the earth.
I knew it wasn't ...so I literally dragged myself to take a shower.
Left home at 7am arrived at the office at 8am. (because there's not much traffic today)
Work starts at 8:30am, what do I do?
Go to my site and read what's on my blogroll <--- yes, every single day as you guys are my strength, you guys kept me sane..or insane? lol

I got a lovely surprise when I clicked on Kikay Exchange
Jillsab of KE left me a comment asking me if she can cross post my review on the MAC lipliner
I told her "yes of course!"
But I didn't expect it to happen so soon..
and I didn't expect it to make me feel so giddy....and proud!

After I came back to reality and realized
I am still a mortal .....

I continued reading what's on my blogroll again.
When I clicked on Paint Me Gorgeous
I literally jumped back a bit, stared at the computer
and told myself "Who the hell is that girl? She looks Familiar!"
I stared at it again, and read the photo writings...
DEFINITELY...it is mine!
I read it at once and I just can't believe that the "gorgeouses" thought so nicely of me!
Though it still made me cringed a bit to see such big photo of myself in another person's blog
I am honestly touched!

To these 2 wonderful sites, Kikay Exchange and Paint Me Gorgeous.
I can't say thank you enough from the bottom of my heart for such sweet gesture.
I honestly felt I've won an Oscar
thank you for giving me the inspiration to keep on blogging
no matter how sleepy I am every time I go home,
I would always be energized to prepare for my posts for the next day!
