Pixi By Petra Natural Contour Powder is Indeed Very Natural!

Do you want a contour powder that is very subtle yet noticeable in a very natural way?
I've found one!  The Pix by Petra Natural Contour Powder is indeed very effective as a contour shade regardless of skin tone.  For just one shade, this product can actually work!  All you need to do is know the "right" amount to apply depending on your skin tone and you'll be sculpted in no time!

My take of a very natural contour.

Have a Bee-ry Merry Christmas!

One of the brands I really go for when it comes to gift-giving is Burt's Bees.  I find the packaging, quality of the products and price points good enough to make a person feel special.  

Here's just an example on how I would go for a Burt's Bees Gift!

For a female family member

A whole range of skincare like Daisy White

For a friend 

A set of head-to-toe products

Weekend Food Trip at: Sandaya Japanese Yakiniku Restaurant, FisherMall

Whenever I visit my Mom and Dad back home, we  try to take them out for simple dinner!  And that's when we try to be adventurous in trying out different restaurants just for the sake of my mom and dad --- they have sacrificed so much when we were young saving up every single cent!  Now that we are older, and obviously, earning on our own, I guess that is just the smallest way of saying: "Thank you"

As always, month of December + Saturday night = Horrendous Traffic

So we've decided to stay close-by, near my mom's place, we went to Fishermall.

There were a couple of restaurants we wanted to try but decided otherwise because they don't have high chair.  Paging restaurant owners --- PLEASE!  Not everyone bring their yayas to a mall so I badly need high chair so I can eat peacefully! 

So back to looking for restaurants, we saw Sandaya Japanese Yakiniku Restaurant.

We were extremely hungry so we've decided to go for their set meal.

Regular Assorted BBQ Set

for 900g good for 4-5 persons

A platter of US Beef, local pork and local chicken.

Include Mentholatum Products on your Holiday Shopping List!

Because having Lips On Fleek is possible if you have well-hydrated lips!  

I can assure you that Mentholatum has the right type of product for each member of the family!  I can attest to that because I was able to transform my family into a lip balm user since the arrival of yummy, non-sticky brands like Mentholatum.

If you follow me on SnapChat, I can actually get away putting my bare face on camera!  But I'm sharing you one tiny secret, I always have lip balm on!  You know why?  Because my face immediately "lit up" with a well moisturized lips!  You don't believe me?  Give it a try!  Take a photo of yourself without lip balm and with lip balm on (both barefaced!)  You'll see a difference! 

And thankfully, one of my favorite "lip balm" brand came up with more products to choose from!  And I believe they are worth including in your Christmas Shopping List!

Lip Pure Fragrance Free and Orange 

Pure & Natural Ingredients

My favorite "lip base" because it goes beyond lip balm that seems to be made just for women!  I have my husband bring one inside his bag and I actually saw him reapplying midday!  The balm slide on smoothly because of the bees wax, royal jelly and manuka honey and I love my lips feel smooth all day long!

Aside from that, I always recommend this to my friends who are pregnant or are lactating because this product is Natural, made from 100% food grade ingredients thus making it safe for both you and your baby.
