AMW Reviews: Kiehl's Actively Correcting and Beautifying BB Cream

I know, not another BB Cream review right?  I mean seriously, why would a company even think about creating BB creams when we're off to CC creams and DD creams now?

Kiehl's definitely do not jump into the BB cream bandwagon right away, based on research, the 161-year old skincare company doesn't always aim for first.  According to the Vice President of Global Education Ms. Cammie Cannella: "...being first in a category is not our focus, we choose to deliver real benefits in formulas that take innovation to the next level..." 

Kiehl's definitely got my respect on that!  BB creams are definitely easy to make yet it can also easily ruin your skin!  So I'm glad to company went for customers' safety.

The tube is surprisingly small, with only 30ml of a product, I believe I will finish this up in a month or 2 of daily use.

AMW Wears: EazyFashion Gypsy Off-Shoulder Dress

I love dresses that are comfortable because I move around a lot!  2 weeks ago, I had a full day of events and meetings!  I don't want to look too made up on a meeting yet I don't want to look too casual for events!  The secret?  I wear my EazyFashion Gypsy Off-Shoulder Dress which works for both casual and cocktails.  During informal meetings, I paired this dress with my very comfortable Elements Slippers (Instagram: ElementsPhilippines)

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*
