My Celeteque just retired last weekend and we're about to go to Baguio City those times. Cold breeze makes my skin really dry, you know red spots and scaly skin. After my prior moisturizer was consumed I thought of buying VMV Hypoallergenic's moisturizer at Glorietta 3 before we arrive at Baguio.
After washing, VMV's moisturizer is very light and absorbs well when applied to skin. My dryness and red spots was gone after 2 to 3 days of application. Now I'm loving their products more. :)
I've been searching for something that will exfoliate my skin, so I decided to make an inexpensive skin care which is DIY Coffee body scrub in such an easy way!
Here's what you need:
3/4 cup of Coffee grounds 1/4 cup Salt 2-3 tbsp baby oil/ canola oil/ olive oil
BENEFITS:
Coffee grounds It helps to exfoliate and slough of your dead skin. As I have researched on further, they say it reduces cellulites but I was kinda skeptic about it, dunno how it was done. Who knows?
Salt Usually it uses to heal infections/wounds so it's better to add salt to your scrub especially to your "unknown" causes of cuts, wounds and even itches.
Oil As the coffee grounds sloughs off your dead skins, now it's time to moisturize and smoothen your happy skin! =)
My skincare is not much into makeups which gives weight to my face that makes me so uneasy. Lip balm/gloss, loose powder and eyeliner is fine, sometimes BB cream. So I prefer more of a cleanser and moisturizer.
I first heard of VMV Hypoallergenics from the blogs I read and has pretty much of good feedbacks and reviews so I got curious and bought it yesterday at Glorietta.
My previous facial wash was Milk tea facial foam from Etude House which lasts for a year. You may notice that I only use one facial wash per year. Because.. That's me.
Anyway, I tried it awhile ago to my face, and I'm happy to say that I'll be buying one again from their boutique. This orange cream has this small beads to sloughs off my dry and rough skin particularly on my nose and forehead. The after effect still made my skin smooth and moisturized unike other wash I used that I have to frequently put on moisturizer.
They also accept major credit cards.
ABOUT MY SKIN:
My Skin type?
Normal to dry skin
Zits?
None. But only during PMS and lack of sleep.
Allergies?
Hmm.. Dust maybe. Usually if the climate is hot, my pores on my nose opens and itchy!
Skincare intervals?
I wash my face 2x a day (morning and night)
Other skincare?
Massaging your face upward will make your skin relax
They were open since April 25, 2011 at SM Fairview. I really have no idea about Tony Moly, so I curiously entered their shop to see. Their prices ranges from 500Php - 1,200Php. More expensive than Etude house. It's product image is more hmm.. how should I say this, more serious look? Because Etude house is cutie cute! hehe. Oh yeah, they also have lots of BB creams! By the way, Tony Moly as I've noticed it's a korean brand.
Tony Moly is located at Lower Ground floor near Foodcourt beside Goldmine :D
Looking at the sky is so alluring to know behind those clouds.. It makes you wanna fly isn't it?
Have you ever wondered what could be there, to the other planet or rather to the other galaxy?
Have you thought about there may be like "us" out there?
Have you thought how infinite (as of now) our universe is?
The questions are unanswerable.
We sometimes forget the "BIG" things around us because we focus to much to our so-called "big deal" but it's not.
Hubby and I read something very amazing and somewhat inspirational, that beyond way those clouds, you'll see an enormous space where you cannot find its limit. Earth? It's way too small compared to the Jupiter, Jupiter? It's also way too small compared to the milky way. Milky way? haha! We're not alone.
Then I thought, what could be the universe looked like? A huge ball shape? or a very wide flattened universe?
How deep is deep in the universe? Well, we cannot say. Just like what hubby said to me, "we can only assume.", "No genius man can ever straighten the confusion of these.. No man can prove the limitation of the universe.. If man can approve, that maybe only at first.. Who knows? an inchy-bitsy error of computation should be thrown out to trash. As if, God let it this way."
We humans thinks that we're powerful enough to others but WHEN NATURE ACTS.. *poof!* where's you power now?
Maybe to other galaxy like, andromeda galaxy (our neighbor), whatever entities out there may be looking at us right now? haha, or maybe they are even high-techie than us. WE REALLY DON'T KNOW, WE CAN ONLY ASSUME.
This why it's wonderful to know about these things, even if it's puzzling, still, beautiful to us.
Just want to share you a video I found that made me cry. (cry baby, I know)
Reminiscing.. old music, vintage stuff, pictures, toys and games...stuff that I remember from when I was a kid. Ah! the memories never fade!
Isn't it amazing to sneak a peek into the past? I guess I should call Michael J. Fox for that (of Back to the Future fame!). I wonder what the differences are between now and way back when.. Sometimes, I even cry (emo huh?) for no reason.. Nah, I'm not crazy! It's just that I get emotional whenever I behold beauty from the past. How time flies!
Let's have some music from the past, shall we?
Extreme - More than words
Michael Jackson - Ben
The Chordettes - Lollipop
While I was looking for clothes, I found these..
Donkey Kong 2 from 1983!
And this one was from 1982! My hubby said that these are still functioning :)
My beauty routine are usually for cleansing and moisturizing my face. Make ups, simply in neutral look like cream eyeshadow,eyeliner, lipgloss and sometimes lipstick (I prefer light orangey in color). Anyway, I'm not going to tell you about these make ups and stuff.
What I'm trying to tell you is that,
Whenever I go to the bathroom to wash my face..I normally do it a bit faster! I close my eyes and can't help but to think of something scary that there might "something" will pop up in front of me or behind me or whatever! I don't know why is that? But all I usually do is, opening an eye while washing not to be frightened or controlling my mind in a positive happy thought..(But still I can't)

My husband and I are being nocturnal again, all nighter astronomy. So, we spent our time searching for stars,nebula,galaxies and planets. The above processed images was manipulated from Registax software.
Probably this month or so, we'll buy the camera adaptor (used to attach our digicam)so we can play with it. So far, these are the pictures taken from our Celestron 4SE Telescope along with our Logitech Quickcam.

This is where we set up for Astronomy.
Everything seems pretty isn't? It's not edited, it's just my DIGICAM :)
HOW?
My husband set my digicam to ISO1600, 8" exposure time , F.2.
and voila!
Just DON'T MOVE if you want to take photo of yourself, it's too sensitive that will give you a blur.
All right! let me tell you a story about this BB cream. I already tried and applied it on my face (yeah, to my whole face!) when I was browsing makeups from Watson's 2-3 weeks ago.
YESTERDAY..
At first, I was being skeptical to buy this product, because when I read the box it says something about china. So okay??? The sales lady says that it made from Italy, the content it's manufacturing code blah-blah.
In the end....I bought it.
When I went home, I rushed to my laptop to search about this. Some may like it, some may not. What they say.. "I don't like it coz it's like chinchunsu thingieeee" or something like that. But then, I felt "Oh man! Dagnabbit."
In the end... I tried it. ( stubborn huh?)
I tried it first on sensitive part of my skin. (or skin test) within 12 hours.

AFTER

Okay, the result was okay, nothing happened. The BB cream blends to my skin color and it does not come up with a smell of chinchunsu (I keep on smelling it, really!) The funny thing here is, I ALREADY APPLIED IT ON MY FACE BEFORE THIS SKIN TEST. Formality sakes! :)
WHAT IS MY SKIN TYPE?
Well, It's normal - dry skin type.
SKIN COLOR?
Fair skin
WHY BUY? It's inexpensive for only P168!
WHERE TO BUY THIS PRODUCT? Any Watson's store
REACTION? For me, I think it suits me. Better to have it tested first to your skin before applying it ok?especially if you have sensitive skin. Let's stay pretty!
Luckily, when I was passing by to annex, I saw this very bright pinky like princess-sy look.. Etude house. I was like, "OMG! Etude house opened a new shop here!!" so I rushed, browsed and tried it.
Everything is too cutie cute, so, my advice is not to bring your guy out there coz they can't stand and get bored with all the pink stuff! haha
Etude house (Aytood house) at SM annex Fairview. So cute!
Cute wrapper bag!
Soon after..
I bought Happy tea time (Milk tea facial foam) from Etude house at SM fairview and I spent P148 for this!

Just wanna share you guys what I've been doing lately for my project in Biology. I was so fond of these single captured pictures (not edited) of its beauty. Red pepper is a spice and it belongs to a botanical fruit (Dunno what it helps to people though, Google where are you?)
