Weekend Food Trip at: Yoree Korean BBQ Dining for AGC Christmas Party





I'm not the type who would use Social Media when I'm on the road.  But recently, I have a LOT of time to do so, take selfies, take photos of my surroundings, because I just have SO MUCH time on hand because of the crazy traffic!  #BerMonths #ManilaTraffic

When I got an invite to attend AGC's Christmas Party, the company who brought in Tony Moly, Etude House and Tous Le Jours, aside from the fact that I love all 3 brands was the venue!  If you know me pretty well, you'll know that this Chinese girl loves Korean food!  I have dined at Korean Village so many times I think the number of visits exceed my age!  :P

So yeah, a new Korean restaurant to try?  Why not brave Manila traffic all over again? 

Mind you..it was exactly 2.5 hours driving (ONE WAY!)

  
Yoree Korean BBQ Dining by the way, is located at the Forum, Bonifacio Global City.  I parked at The Fort Strip (thanks Rowena for the tip) and I waked a couple of blocks to the restaurant.  

Can you imagine how famished I was?  I can literally eat a whole cow!  Or even grass along BGC! :P

So yeah, my tummy welcomed the 10 course meal prepared by AGC!  And before I talk about the restaurant and food, can I share a bit of background?

I have never been to an Etude House, Tony Moly or Tous Le Jours event, every time I got an invite, it was always a bad timing (on my part) because I always have something scheduled to do or I was out of the country, or probably just given birth!  So yeah, right timing to attend a company Christmas Party when I haven't even met anyone of them before right?

Awkward you may say but guess what?  I fit right in!  The staffs at AGC are super wonderful! And let's not forget, I also had wonderful table mates!  Fellow Beauty Bloggers, unite! :P

Now let's talk about the food...I was immediately served with appetizers.  Still a Kimchi girl!



Then the waiter with personality came over to serve us, Wagyu Beef!  We were all in heaven!

Initial Thoughts: Mores White Booster and Mores Skin Firming Pack

Happy Saturday everyone!  Today, I will be sharing my initial thoughts on the new skincare brand called Mores!  I received 2 Mores products from my Sampleroom family!  Seriously, the best decision to be a partner blogger as I get to try so many new "kikay-related" products, I don't only get to try them out for free, I also get to try them out even before I see them in stores!  

Yes, I got these for free but as always, you'll get real time feedback from yours truly!  But of course, keep in mind that I probably have different skin type/condition as you, so my experience may be totally different from yours!  So please TRY before you buy!  If possible, try some samples first before you purchase the whole thing! 

So yes, I am very "iffy" when it comes to trying out new skincare products but the Mores White Booster really caught my interest.  Why?  This is a "White Booster", an intensive whitening and collagen booster that works for all skin types!  I am not really dying for the "whitening part" but I'm excited for the collagen boost! 

Here's how the packaging looks like...


The packaging is made of plastic with pump (thank God!)  so it is lightweight and very easy to tote around.

Price: Php1,695.00 for 30ml
Available online at www.facebook.com/brightskinph


Upon reading the box, it says the product is best used overnight.  Thankfully, I only get to really use skincare products at night when I don't have Baby AMW hugging me, licking my face!

Philosphy Merry & Bright is Perfect for the Season

Brace yourself, you will be seeing happy, cheeky faces on photo below because that is exactly how we felt when we visited Philosophy's newest branch at Glorietta 4. 



After years of hoping they have a self-standing store just like our neighboring countries, my wish finally came true!  You get to see them at Greenbelt 5 and Mega Fashion Hall as well!  And this time, the visit was perfect because I just prepared my "gift-giving" list and Philosophy definitely will be part of the gift-giving brand!  I mean seriously, who does not like to receive a gift from Philosophy?


You won't miss the store for sure as it is well-lit and you will see a huge sign of Merry & Bright.  Indeed, 'tis the season to be merry and bright!  Clueless on what to give?  Men out there, here's a cheat sheet!

Initial Thoughts: Vitress Hair Solutions Heat Protect Cuticle Coat





I'm not sure if you remember my blog post re: the Vitress Hair Repair Cuticle Coat and Vitress Hair Polish Sun Protect.  I have used them until half the bottle and actually shared some to my sister as I have so many hair products to try and review. 

Then a couple of years after my first "touch base" with Vitress, I got a generous delivery from my Sample Room family, a whole new line of Vitress products!  Boy did they added more variants and you know which particular variant caught my attention?
