Weekend Food Trip at: Icebergs





Who has been to Iceberg for Halo-Halo Fix? *raises own hand*
My family and I usually go for Iceberg especially when my brother who works abroad comes home for a short vacation!  They would always go for Halo-Halo and I would always go for the Banana Con Hielo.

And recently, I've heard nothing but positive reviews from my brother and parents because they've dined in at Icebergs so many times! 

So when my family was stuck at Harbour Square, we've decided to check out the menu and see if we will have the same positive experience like my parents.


Sisig 

Php198.00

This is also called Iceberg's famous sisig.  Truthfully, it wasn't something I will remember but definitely a good place to go for sisig-fix anytime!

Spotted at Beauty Bar: BARE Hair Care and Body Care Range





So how many among you are like me?  Walking around aisles after aisles at the Beauty Bar soothes your stressed and tired senses?  *sigh*

That's ME!

Unlike skincare, I am quite adventurous when it comes to hair and body care products!  So look what I found!

BARE HAIR CARE RANGE
There are a total of 7 variants of shampoos and conditioners to help target various hair issues.  I got the BARE Horsetail Shampoo which is for scalp repair and fragile hair!  While the conditioner variant I got is Grapefruit which is targeted for Dull Hair.

You can actually pick similar variants for both shampoos and conditioners but at times, it is okay to mix and match.


Bare Horsetail Shampoo
Php550.00
I recently have issues with my scalp.  It gets dry and itchy on certain areas.  Must be the combination of stress and environmental factors.  I personally think I can't use this alone (as to any shampoo brands) as I am used to following up with a conditioning treatment.  The scent reminds me so much of a fresh grass, so refreshing!

Eureka Moment: Ungrip Your Phone!




Funny how this simple thing that I put on my phone can call so much attention!  Can you see it?
Well, the lovely strap on my phone is called Ungrip!

My phone has flown and fell on the floor so many times I can't keep track --- Joys of being a mom to a Tornado...ahem, I mean...Toddler!

There are so many "phone grip" products in the market but nothing caught my attention until I saw the brand Ungrip!

Without saying much, the wide range of colors and designs won me over!

So You Think You Want To Throw Away Etude House Cookie Blusher's Powder Puff? Read this!




Did you know that the Etude House Cookie Blusher aren't just cute to look at?  I've shared my love for these Cookie Blushers when I reviewed the shade Carrot Cheesecake and featured Peach Parfait in one of my "looks" tutorial.

That's why during my most recent Etude House visit, I can't help but pick another shade to add in to my "Cookie Blush" collection, this time, the shade is called Peach Choux Wafer.

Peach Choux Wafer is a muted matte peach pink shade.  It works so well on Fair to Medium skin, girls with darker complexion can still use this but this will come off as a face highlighter.

Now this blog post is not just about how Peach Choux Wafer looks on me, this blog post is focused on the cute blush puff that comes with the product.

Burt's Bees BB Cream Review




I have reviewed so many BB creams on this blog but one brand that REALLY excites me is the arrival of Burt's Bees BB Cream.  Quite late (in my humble opinion) but there could be a reason why they came in super late when other brands graduated to CC and DD and "whatever double-letter" creams!

Burt's Bees, as you all know, is all about NATURAL.  From the packaging down to their ingredients, this is one of the "shortest ingredients list" I've seen in a BB Cream by far!

That could be the reason why they take this long to master their BB cream!  It must work at the same time, must commit to the Burt's Bees "natural promise".

And this particular base makeup from the brand did not disappoint, it's 98.9% natural and comes with 9 Benefits (and more!)

Intrigued???
