Spa Review: Toccare Spa (2nd Time Around)


Happy Tuesday!
I haven't posted about any Spa places for the past year!  Why?  Well, this lady got pregnant, gave birth, and got super busy with the baby I didn't even have "me" time!  I was just browsing through my Spa reviews recently and long for a nice relaxing massage!  After giving birth, I had one from "Manang Luz" who does home service but the complete wellness package inside the spa is what my body is looking for!


One of the few Spa Places that I tried that left a lasting impression on me is Toccare Spa, feel free to read my first visit last March 2012 HERE.

Prostyle Fuwarie Curl Styling Mist (For Curly and Bouncy Hairstyle) Review





I have used the Prostyle Fuwarie Hairstyling Mist (For Airy Bob Style) for months now and been loving it!  Having a "bob" look is nice but I missed curling my hair back when my hair was still long!  Now that I'm starting to grow my hair longer for me to be able to style my hair, I've decided to use the Prostyle Fuwarie Curl Styling Mist For Curly and Bouncy Hairstyle!

Okay, my hair is still short so curling it using a small curling iron is not my thing as of the moment, so I've decided to use my 1.5 inch curling iron to create "bouncy" hairstyle instead and I've been doing that each time I let my hair down as pregnancy hormones made my hair limp and boring!



Prostyle Fuwarie says ---

  • For Curly and Bouncy Hairstyle.
  • Prevents hair burn/blisters.
  • Protects hair cuticle from the heat of hair styling tools
  • Prevents hair breakage
  • Prevents hair discoloration caused by heat.
  • Protects against UV rays
  • Sets the hair as styled and keeps it curled longer.
  • Enhanced with Amino Acid to repair damaged cuticles for beautiful and shiny hair.
  • Has a light fruity scent.
  • Made in Japan.

Weekend Food Trip at: 26th St. Bistro by The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

Close friends would know how much I love coffee!  Going out on a date with my then-boyfriend Mr. AMW always include a quality time at a coffee shop!  I remember sharing to him my dreams of being an English Teacher in China, on learning how to cut hair, on being a professional makeup artist and fast forward to today, my dreams definitely came true!

So going back on a coffee shop with Mr. AMW always gives me a giddy feeling!  That's why when I got an invite from our friends from ROAR Communications (thanks Jenny and Max) for an intimate dinner with fellow bloggers at the 26th St. Bistro by The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, I had to clear up my schedule and ask hubby to go out on a date with me!  *winks*  

Who has seen and dined at the biggest Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf branch at Fort Bonifacio?  I love how spacious the interior is and I immediately had the "fine dining" feel the moment I walked in.


What brought me back to my senses is the scent of wonderful coffee!  And of course, the familiar CBTL counter with cakes I LOVE!  My favorite is the Blueberry Cheesecake!

Something New: Estee Lauder New Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II



Happy Saturday!
Just so you know I am very slow (literally like a turtle) when it comes to skincare products review.  I hope you don't mind as my skin is quite sensitive so changing from one skincare to another is like weaning a baby from direct feeding to bottle feeding.  *laughs*  Can't blame the comparison, that's what new mommies do --- do nothing but think about the baby!  :P


I've recently shared My Pregnancy Skincare Regimen last year and so far, after giving birth, I've decided to use the brand meant for sensitive skin (as my hormones are a bit wild for the first 3 months after giving birth) so I went back to my trustee Clinique 3-Step Skincare System and finally tried the new Clinique DDML+.   Why the need to change if the ones I'm using works?  Well..that's the JOY of being a beauty blogger!  *lol*  Even if I'm not a beauty blogger, you'll see me stalking aisles after aisles of different skincare brands as me and my brother were born product testers!  (Yup!  My brother shares the same sentiments as I do, try as much as you can, life is too short! ) *laughs*

February of last year, I've tried Estee Lauder's ANR and posted a detailed review.  I have shared the bottle with my Mom-in-law who loves taking care of her skin as much as I do and guess what?  She loved it as much as I do!  Once we're done with the bottle, she went ahead and repurchased another one!  As for me, I went ahead to test other skincare brands!  Who would've thought I'll be going back trying out the ANR line?  This time it has "II" written on its' bottle, meaning, it is their most comprehensive, most advanced serum as of date!
