Burt's Bees Facial Cleansing Towelettes with White Tea Extract Review

Seldom do I talk about facial cleansing wipes but they are extremely important for me as I use them faithfully not only as a professional makeup artist but for personal hygiene as well!  I've finished up a lot of cleansing wipes from product swatches I can't even keep track which particular brand is a favorite of mine until recently....

When I met Burt's Bees Facial Cleansing Towelettes!  Though pricey, there are so many reasons why they are worth it!

Weekend Dessert: Twelve Cupcakes

How do you enjoy your cupcakes?
Well me, it's a tiny bit different as compared to other food!  I make sure to stare at them for at least a good 5 minutes before I start devouring them!  Why?  Well, desserts are meant to make you feel happy!  I don't do dessert on EVERY meal so when I have the luxury of having one, I make sure to make it worthwhile!

Just by looking at Twelve Cupcakes, it is definitely worth the second and third stare (not glance!) :P

I've heard about Twelve Cupcakes from my friend Emily, she raved about these cupcakes so much she got me intrigued!  My sister-in-law also raved about their Red Velvet cupcakes which turned out to be their bestseller!

Twelve Cupcakes is actually the Number One Cupcakery in Singapore known to give only the freshest gourmet cupcakes!  What's unique about Twelve Cupcakes is that they have over 50 flavors to choose from ranging from Everyday Flavors to Special Flavors. Special Flavors are those cupcakes made available only a specific day!  Let's say, do you want to eat their Chocolate Caramel Pecan?  Well you have to wait for Friday to enjoy that!  Green Tea Chocolate on a Tuesday, Nutella on a Monday!  

A Friendly Reminder: Visit Your Dentist TODAY!

I recently got back from a dentist appointment and I almost didn't hear the end of it!  For the first time after many years, I was scolded!  For not taking care of my teeth by going to the dentist to have my teeth cleaned at least once every 3-6 months.  I deserve all the things she told me as it has been more than a year (okay, almost 2 years) that I didn't visit her!  I have so many excuse like I was busy breastfeeding, taking care of my baby, etc...

But one thing she said that hit me and I think deserves a blog post!  She said I MAY have Bad Breathe if I continue to ignore my teeth!  I tried to give an excuse by telling her I brush my teeth after EVERY meal, I use mouthwash and floss!  She said it's NOT enough!  And I got to read this article! *laughs*

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! :)
