St. Jude Thaddeus Pendant

 

I am a proud Judenite.

My nursery to Senior Highschool (a total of 13) are the best years of my life!  I strongly remember myself as a crybaby and my seatmate would reassure me at 4 years old!  I graduated as a crybaby and ended up being a social-butterfly.  Joining several clubs from Newspaper club, Choir, Science and Math Club, Drama Club, MPFA (Military Police and First Aid) and more!  

Also, I met my future husband during my Senior High, Keith was my classmate and the rest was history.

Year 2022, marks our 20th year.  We are all excited to meet but because of the circumstances, we are opting for Online Reunion and we are preparing for this.  Included in our batch activites are fund raising drives for the school and teachers.  

All thanks to our batchmates for being so active about such drive and this is where the St. Jude Thaddeus pendant was born.

Wear your faith through the St. Jude Thaddeus pendant as a reassurance that there is always hope.  This is an exclusive design by Filipino jewelry designer Janina Dizon on a pre-order basis.  

Details: 14k yellow gold, the front side is smoothly enameled and the center is the classic image of St. Jude in 3D printing.  The back side is solid gold face with inscription “St. Jude Thaddeus, Pray For Us.”

Make Up For Ever Concealer Matte Velvet Skin Concealer review

 

“How to look fresh?  How to be fresh?”

These are just some of the many DMs I get on my Instagram and I guess I have to address this question.  I have said this so many times that I do my best to use the least amount of base makeup as much as possible to give room for my skin to breath.  

I only use both concealer and foundation when I go to physical events in the past but nowadays, with events all ZOOM away, I pick either Foundation only or concealer only.  I recently found a really good concealer so I am sharing it here immediately.

It is the Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Skin Concealer (Php1,700.00).

Our 1st 24HR wear breathable, full coverage matte concealer. Co-created with our pro makeup artists, this full-coverage, blurring concealer is waterproof, sweat-proof, transfer-proof, and delivers 24-hour wear. Lightweight and airy, this blendable, multitasking formula has an extra-large applicator and a precision tip for use all over the face to conceal under-eye circles, correct spots, or to contour.

MULTI-USE FLEXIBLE FORMULA

A multi-tasking product for all-over application: Conceal – Correct – Contour

FULL COVERAGE, 24HR WEAR

Waterproof formula stays on all day.

BREATHABLE, MATTE FINISH

Airy, lightweight formula provides a breathable matte finish that doesn’t cake, flake or fade.

Available in 22 Shades

AMW says—-

• The packaging!  I am so happy it is a huge doe-foot applicator!  Based from the look of packaging, I originally thought it will be a pump tube and I am happy to be wrong!
• Wide range of shades.  My shade 2.5 is perfect!
• Gives mediumt o medium heavy coverage!  I can literally just use this and I m set for the whole day.
• Covers imperfections naturally - from dark undereye circles to redness.
• Matte but NON drying.
• Does not dry out my already dry skin.
• Does not oil up midday, non greasy. 
• Does not move.  My skin looks fab even testing this while working out and cooking!
• Lightweight and never heavy-feel.

AMW Cooks: Orange Chicken Recipe

 

Hi AMW Friends!  I tried Orange Chicken at North Park recently and I got really inspired to recreate this dish since nasarapan kaming lahat (we enjoyed the dish) including my 8-year old son!  The best way to add up Vitamin C to his diet!  

Keep in mind this is the simplest recipe I tried with ingredients I have readily in the kitchen!  After creating this dish, there’s one thing I will change —- the source of Orange!  The orange I got aren’t as sour or orange-y in taste, so maybe….just maybe, I should try using Boxed Orange Juices?  What do you think?

I’d love to hear your comment below!

Ingredients:

Addendum: it’s grate Garlic Not Ginger ✌🏻

• 1kg chicken fillet
• 1 cup All Purpose Flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 4-6 gloves garlic 
• 6tbsp Soy Sauce
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp Salt
• 1/2 cup water

Sauce:

• 4 oranges
• Butter
• 1tbsp Oyster Sauce
• 4-5 tbsp Brown Sugar

Kindly watch the quick method on how I cooked this on short video below.

Red and Black OOTD

 

Red and black has always been my no-brainer outfit combo!  Some would go for Black and White, it’s always Red and Black for me!  No wonder I have a lot of different shades of red outfit in my dresser and of course, various black outfit too I can easily mix and match!

I recently hosted Lazada 10.10 Big Brand Sale Livestream for 2 days and I was required to wear a deep red outfit and I came up with this.  Comfortable yet classy!  What do you think?

The top is an old top I bought from Zalora years ago when I just gave birth to Kyle, I needed a top that is loose enough for me to breastfeed!  I actually cinched the top at the back fo this livestream so make it more “fit”.

The shorts is an inexpensive shorts on Sales which I purchased at SM Department store.  I like the extra buckle and ribbon that made this shorts unique from the hundreds of other black shorts I have! :P

For my hair and makeup, I loosely curled my hair using a 1.5 inch curling iron and applied heavier makeup - yes, that make up is quite heavy, I just have strong lighting during the livestream so my face was heavily contoured for dimension!

How do you like my livestream look?
