When Highlighting Is Life, You Need This Palette



If you are like me who thinks "highlighting" is a very important step for daily makeup look, brace yourself as I've found a palette that gives you all your highlighting needs! 

Subtle Highlight, A bit dramatic highlight and the super spotlight-type of highlight.  Name it!  You got it all in this palette.

I know some of you thinks highlighting is the least important step so feel free just to scroll down and check out photos as I hope to change your mind!  For someone with fair yet very sallow skin, this extra step I do to get the "Ang Fresh mo naman!"  compliment.  I'm a girl, I crave for compliments every now and then! *winks*

But seriously, highlighting gives me the instant high especially when I feel tired and sleepy from my gazillion tasks!  It's just me giving my skin an "uplifting mood" on a blah day!  Just like coffee for my system, highlight for my skin!  (I hope you get my comparison :P)

Nomination Italy For Brides-To-Be




After getting my first Nomination Composable bracelet for Mother's Day.  I easily got my second Nomination Composable with no second thoughts because wearing them everyday is like wearing my favorite watch!  Stacking them looks really nice you can see me wear them on photos and videos!

Because it made me happy to wear them, this brand also turned out to be my "default" gift-giving brand to the people I love.  Check out what I picked for my mom-in-law and how it made her extremely happy!

And the spreading of good vibes did not stop there!  My sister-in-law is getting married next year!  So I've decided to surprise her with her own piece of Nomination Composable because family should have something "matchy-matchy"!  



I have known Grace when she was still a Kid!  And I've seen her grow and I've always been a sister to her!  So it wasn't difficult to pick the right piece for her because I know what tickles her fancy.

Weekend Food Trip at: Ryu Ramen And Curry



Whenever I have a long day of work, I always end up craving for something warm and fuzzy for the tummy!  And that is definitely a good bowl of Ramen noodles for me! 

So after a full day of shoot, I met up with the family at the restaurant in Quezon City called Ryu Ramen and Curry.  We were originally aiming for the next door Korean restaurant but it was packed!  Second choice or not, I'm just happy I got to eat this ramen bowl.

Miso Butter Corn Ramen
Php320.00
A specialty of Hokkaido, this ramen is miso-based broth with sauteed vegetables, ground pork, topped with corn kernels and special butter mix.

I love Miso-based ramen (just in case you want to surprise me with a bowl), it's always love at first MISO!  Then, corn kernels are definitely a lovely sweet surprise!  I always ask the server to lessen the butter mix because I dislike how some restaurants made the soup base into butter soup!

This one is actually just a perfect blend of everything!  Love how crunchy the vegetables are while the noodles are soft and chewy.
