New Sunblock Brand: Ocean Potion

I came from the generation of Coppertone as the ONLY sunblock brand (say ME TOO in comment box if you agree para di naman ako nag-iisa! lol) The highest SPF would be 25 and I feel like it was the best protection out in the market back then!

Global warming wasn't as bad then...now I feel like a dinosaur!

Back to sunblock, a decade (or more) later, various brands of sunblock are popping out in the market and I'm glad to have more and more choices out there!  The choices are endless and the best part?  These sunblock smells better and definitely feels better in the non-greasy department!

More and more brands made locally available means there are more demands in the market for sunblock and I'm very happy that we are now accepting sunblock as part of our daily skincare regimen because I truly believe in SUNBLOCK as the BEST not-so-secret-secret in anti-aging!

I recently chanced upon a new sunblock brand (maybe not for you but for me) called Ocean Potion.

L-R Xcelerator X Spray Gel, Aloe Lotion, Sport Cooling, Face Potion 45 and Quick Dry 30 Sunscreen

Ocean Potion offers a complete range of suncare products that not only help prevent sun damage but based on the description of their products, they also nurture the skin with natural sea plant extracts, anti-oxidants as well as Vitamins A, C and E!

AMW Reports: Philips Haircare Glam Night Event

Year 2008, I bought my first "big" blowdryer and I took my time researching for a trusted brand.  I went for Philips JetSet Control ION HP4883 (click link for my past review) and I made the right decision because it is still good as new at the moment and mind you, I use this dryer almost everyday!  I even tag this blowdryer with me when I do hair for my clients.  

I'm not really sure if this specific model is still available (I bet not!) but when I was invited to Philips Glam Night at BlowBar Serendra.  No matter how busy my schedule was, I had to squeeze them in as I love Philips Hair care products and I vouch they really last (as long as you take care of them!)

And I have a new crush because it came with a lovely pearly white color!

Philips ActiveCare

It was perfect that the event was held at BLO BAR Serendra, I mean, where else can you test these Philips styling tools?

I picked Holly Would hairstyle as I'm off to another event after! :)

AMW Reviews: Flawless Face and Body Clinic

Good day everyone! 

Are you surprised to see a "facial" review on my blog today?  Well, I'm surprised myself!  I've been very vocal in telling everyone how I try to veer away from trying out facials as I have not-so-good experiences in the past (pre-Blogging days).  I may be a loyal facial customer during my work days in China but things have changed when I returned back to the Philippines.

I have been offered free facials, body services here and there for the past 5 years, but you can only count the times I actually tried them!  I'm a sissy when it comes to my skin!  I am so afraid of skin breakouts or irritations I often say "NO" right away.

But what made me say YES to a Flawless service?  Not because it was offered to me for free but because I was starting to see breakouts here and there for the past few weeks!  After I stopped breastfeeding, I'm probably just waiting for my "monthly period" to happen after 2 years!  Pimples were sprouting here and there and after trying to "wait" for them to disappear (which didn't happen overtime), I've decided to give Flawless facial a try!

Something New: Coach LOVE Eau Blush

Celebrating the first signs of love....

Check out my "kilig" face and I still have that face 7 years after marriage, 11 years after gf/bf relationship.

The heart knows before you do. That wondrous hint of a feeling- that gentle swell of emotion. Cheeks flushing with warmth, soft touches, shy smiles. The bloom of new love and the intimate promise of what’s to come. ---- description from the new Coach Love Eau Blush and I can't help but reminisce how I knew Mr. AMW is my FIRST and LAST love.

Yes, it was exactly the same feelings as described by the scent.
