Review: Ellana x Project Vanity Life-proof Eyebrow Pencil
Kamusta naman ang kilay naten? (How are your brows?). It’s been almost 3 months since lockdown and I’ve been DIY-ing my way through everything. From cutting my hair to shaping my brows. And I’m so glad I was able to score these Life-proof Eyebrow Pencils from Ellana, in collaboration with Project Vanity. They already worked together previously on their Life-proof Eyebrow Gels that came in pot form. It got dry too fast and it was a hassle (for me) to bring a separate brush. While I loved the color & longevity, I wasn’t too fond of the formula and packaging. I always wish it came in a pencil. …

Parents, admit you’re wrong
While I always admit to my child if I make mistakes. Today’s case was particularly special. A stupidity so huge it affected the entire neighborhood I accused someone of stealing. The story of the missing phone We’re still on lockdown and all laundromats are still closed. This is one of the few things I learned on quarantine. Handwashing and drying clothes outside. Honestly, it was one of my favorite chores. Seeing the soiled shirts, towels, sheets, fresh and clean again. The sun naturally killing the bacteria and drying the fabric. This morning, after finishing my favorite chore, I went inside ready to watch the newest episode of Ru Paul’s…
