    MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation: New vs. Old Formula

    Long post ahead! I guess it’s true—you really shouldn’t judge a product by its reformulation.

    Oh no! Adult figure skating and osteoarthritis

    Today marks the second year of my adult figure skating journey! And what a journey it has been 🙂 I’m now in DELTA level which is the last level before FREESTYLE! I can’t believe I’m soo so so so close to doing jumps and spins. As an adult figure skater in the Philippines (who’s in her 40s!) it has not been that easy. While I have experience in strength training and lifting weights, I’m not really the athletic type and quite the klutz. It took me roughly around 6 months to finish BETA which covers backward crossovers, t-stops, and backward stroking. Honestly, this was the hardest level. I couldnt’ count…

    Is JP Fragrance Shop legit? A D&G Light Blue review

    My friend recently gave me a mini bottle of Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue, and the moment I sprayed it, I was instantly transported back to high school. This used to be my signature scent: fresh, effortless, and full of memories. 📌 GET IT HERE: https://s.shopee.ph/2LSz5rjoi9 As I got older, I started exploring niche fragrance houses — the kind that are more unique, more complex, and often more expensive than what you usually find in department stores. But there’s something about Light Blue. Spraying it again brought back so many happy memories that I knew I had to get a full-sized bottle. The scent: Fresh, summer, sexy Notes: Lemon Granny…

    The Role of CBT and DBT in Long-Term Addiction Recovery

    Addiction recovery is about more than stopping substance use. It’s about learning how to think, feel, and respond differently—especially when stress, emotions, or triggers show up. This is where therapy plays a critical role.
