AMW x Tokyo Tokyo Gives: Php1,500 worth of Tokyo Tokyo Gift Certificates

Tokyo Tokyo is a restaurant very close to my heart!  Why?  Well, it is a "date place" for me and Mr. AMW years ago when we were in College.  We would always ask each other what we want to try and we would order 2-3 dishes for us to share.  Ahhh..those were the days!  

Today, Tokyo Tokyo offers Sumo Meals, this I was was available years ago so Mr. AMW and I do not need to worry about the size of the dish and we also get to try a lot of dish in ONE meal! 

I have tried Sumo Meals a couple of times with my parents and it was a no-brainer for me to order this as Sumo Meals combine any 2 Tokyo Tokyo signature meals such as Beef Misono, Pork Tonkatsu, Fried Chicken Karaage, Prawn & Vegetable Tempura, and Honey Chicken Teriyaki.  The entire Bento Box comes with 2 steaming bowls of Tokyo Tokyo rice and the best part?  It's unlimited!  Aside from that, you also get 2 glasses of refreshing Red Iced Tea --- if I remember it correctly, Tokyo Tokyo was one of the first few, or if I'm not mistaken, the only restaurant who serves Red Iced Tea that time. 

Take a pick, THIS...

For Him: This Christmas

Ooohhh Christmas is a few days away!  Are you panicking (like me) as you haven't completed your Christmas shopping list yet?  *talking to you and to myself*  RELAX....there will be always something special for your friends and loved ones!  Just sit down, list down the names and their "likes".  You'll definitely pass the "gift giving" exam with flying colors!

Every year, I find it most difficult to buy gifts for my guy friends and family!  Would you believe how creative I am in giving gifts?  It is a choice of A or B? A. T-shirts B. Fragrance !  *laughs*

Come on, you have to agree with me that t-shirt really is a no-brainer gift giving idea for the men in our lives!

Today, I will be adding a Letter C!  :P  Let's face it, most guys and girls are into music, I remembered gifting my older brother a speaker way back and I saw how much he uses it!  That's when I realized if you plan to spend a bit, why not buy them unique speakers for their listening pleasure?

I recently chanced upon 2 unique speakers from Native Union....

Unboxing: December BDJ Box - Max Factor

Happy Friday everyone!
Aren't you excited for the weekend?  Christmas Day is drawing near and I can't wait to share more giveaways for my dear AMW readers who are still here checking out my blog for updates --- THANK YOU!  Please visit AskMeWhats every now and then as more giveaways will be up within the week or so!  

Recently, I received BDJ's December Box and I find this very special!  Why?  Aside from the exclusive Max Factor box, I also get a Focus/Finish planner from Belle De Jour which I find really important as I'm really into traditional writing amidst the electronic world!  Yes, even with my updated electronic gadgets, I still prefer my trustee handy-dandy notebooks to keep myself sane from all the crazy schedule!  How about you?  Are we the same oldie-but-goodie? :P



Please continue reading to see what's inside!  I'm excited with these as I haven't tried a lot of Max Factor products!

AMW Reviews: Maybelline Clear Smooth All In One Shine Free Cake Powder (Nude Beige)

Thursday deserves a THROWBACK Thursday post!
Well, I'm referring to a Throwback Brand!  Maybelline is definitely one of the very few brands I started my interest in makeup!  I remember hovering around Maybelline SM Sta. Mesa counter (not as a thief, but as a possible customer lol) checking on their various lipsticks and blushes!  Their prices aren't as competitive as today and I remembered telling myself to wait for my "part time job" salary (as a tutor) before I purchase one.  

Throwback na throwback no?

Today, I will be sharing a review on Maybelline's Clear Smooth All in One Shine-Free Foundation.  The shine-free term puts me off as I'm into dewy makeup nowadays, but for the sake of review, I used this for 1 full month before I gave it to my big sister who happily received it and I got immediate grateful text several days after! She obviously loved this!

Something New: Absynthe Bath and Beauty Products

So many local brands coming up with products worth having a 2nd, 3rd and 4th look!
I recently got a nice kit from Absynthe Bath and beauty and I swear, for someone who likes to "hit the pan" on old products before trying out a new one, I just can't resist is!  I immediately took photos of these and removed the protective seal and sniffed each one of the product!  *arfff* :P

I won't be able to write a detailed review yet on these products as I've been jumping around trying one from the other!  The most I've used out of all these is the Hair Potion.  But before I talk more about that, let me share to you what Absynthe Bath & Beauty offers!
