    My Christmas Gifts to Self (2022 edition)

    This will be hopefully the first out of many. It could be material gifts like this one, or other ones like in action, in travel, or in self-care. Last year (wow 2023 na) I decided to buy the things I always wanted to get for myself but couldn’t do so before because of a lack of finances. Don’t worry though! I made sure this was in my “splurge” section of my budget, and always keep my savings intact!  A small part of myself is also telling me that this could possibly be a symptom of my mania. Since I’ve been hypomanic recently with a lot of sleepless nights and racing…

    REVIEW: Shokz Open Move Wireless Bone Conduction Headphones

Price: 4,490 php Where to buy: Shokz Official I was intrigued and had to check it out for myself. Is it any good, or even…

    3 Tips To Make The Most out of Finances This 2023

    It has been over two years since the pandemic broke out, and the world has shifted. We were locked inside our homes, the world stopped, and the economy slowed down.

Don’t worry; this is not a heavy piece; instead, you can take some tips!  While 2022 is turning out to be a “comeback” year for most- with revenge travels and spending- there is no denying that inflation is happening worldwide.

    Why going “clean” can be better for your skin health and the environment

    For many skincare gurus today, effectiveness is no longer the strongest barometer in choosing what goes into their daily beauty regimen. Most of them are also choosing clean beauty.  While there’s no official definition of clean beauty, skincare experts agree that these products are free from harmful toxins like parabens and phthalates—known to interfere with hormone functions—that can be absorbed by the skin. This is why many clean beauty brands opt for natural ingredients to avoid industrial chemicals that can be carcinogens or even pesticides.   Choosing clean beauty also helps divert toxic chemicals away from water sources like streams and rivers, helping reduce marine pollution that can threaten wildlife and…

Where to buy: Cathy Doll on Laz Price: 119php Call me blessed or whatever, but I never really had the problems of having dark underarms. Well, except during pregnancy. My secret? I wasn’t a fan of using deodorants, even the “whitening” ones. I wasn’t a sweaty person either – but I still do stink. Just like everyone else.
