I know I just posted my current skincare routine, plus some products that I've been using. But here I am with a review of a product that I've been testing out for weeks now. It's the very first skincare product I've tried from Aivee Skin which is the skincare line of the dermatological center na may impressive list of celebrity and high-profile clients - Aivee Clinic. It's their Aivee Skin Clarity Gel which contains alpha-lipoic acid to provide protection from free radical damages, calendula to soothe inflammation and aloe vera to hydrate the skin. PROS ●Comes in clean white plastic packaging with a handy and hygienic pump dispenser ●Has a liquidy gel texture that is neither too runny nor too thick ●Has a comforting scent with flowery notes ●Absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue ●Does not cause any irritation on my skin ●Leaves the skin velvety smooth to the touch ●Evens out the skin tone ●Fades acne spots faster ●Reduces redness CONS ●Quite expensive ●Not enough emollient for dry skin I apply this morning and evening after serum. My friend was right when she told me that this clarity gel helped calm down the redness on her face. I have some acne spots which become less prominent after using this. My skin also feels smoother and rejuvenated. I would suggest though that if you have dry skin, pair it with other hydrating and moisturizing products. You can shop this Aivee Skin Clarity Gel priced at P2,550 (30ml) at www.theaiveeclinic.com/boutique.

Hindi man ako skincare expert, I believe in a simple skincare routine without too many steps. Personally kasi, I am more likely to stick to it if it's not too complicated. Plus, I'll be able to see results with consistent use. If you're also a makeup wearer na kagaya ko, you know that if our skin is in good shape, any makeup we apply on top of it will look much better. Good skin is definitely key to flawless makeup application. Mahigit isang taon na rin since I've shared my skincare routine. Actually, I have not been trying a lot of new products, a lot of these are tried-and-true products that work for my sensitive, combination skin for years and years. Although, there are maybe 2 I've added not too long ago which were either sent to me by the brand or recommended by my favorite influencer. Cleanser (Morning & Night): ACNE AID Liquid Cleanser, P250 A gentle cleanser that controls oil and removes excess makeup and dirt off my face leaving it nice and clean. Exfoliator (Night): AXIS-Y PHA Resurfacing Glow Peel, P699 I apply this twice a week and after each use of this gentle gel-water peel, my skin looked brighter and felt softer and smoother. Toner (Morning & Night): Celeteque Alcohol-free Toner Hydration, P136 A basic and affordable watery toner that refreshes my skin and removes remnant impurities very well. Facial Spray (Morning): Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater, P595 Leaving my skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, and it smells heavenly. Serum (Morning & Night): COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, P970 It's slimy but lightweight and provides wonderful plumping and soothing effects. Eye Cream (Night): Laneige Water Bank Eye Gel EX, P1,900 A great gel cream that leaves the delicate skin around my eyes hydrated, smooth, and supple. Moisturizer (Night): Celeteque Facial Moisturizer Hydration, P155 It moisturizes my skin without feeling greasy. Plus, it's lightweight and budget-friendly. Sunscreen (Morning): Dazzle Me Attack On Sun! Sunscreen SPF 50 PA ++++, P199 Aside from its broad spectrum coverage, it also provides fast absorption and sits beautifully on top of moisturizer and underneath makeup products. Share nyo na rin if you've tried any of these products.
I mentioned in the past, how much I enjoy watching grocery shopping and haul videos of people in different parts of the world. Bukod sa nalalaman ko kung ano yung mga pantry staples sa bansa nila, I also get some tips on how I can save on groceries, and it's just fascinating to see what food other people buy. Pre-packaged bagels are what most people consider as their pantry staples lalo na sa mga Western countries. And as a family na mahilig sa lahat ng klase ng baked goods, I've always wanted to include them in our breakfast and make all sorts of bagel sandwiches. Actually, may mga pre-packaged bagels na rin namang mabibili sa ilang grocery stores dito sa atin. There are some bagels na makikita sa bread aisle and also frozen ones just like these bagels from Bogels N.Y.. They offer perfectly baked bagels made with the freshest ingredients in two classic flavors: Whole Wheat Delight and B&W Sesame Sprinkle. I love that once toasted, their bagels have slightly crunchy crust, notable 'pull' when bitten into, plus a soft and chewy innards, and definitely a freshly baked flavor which made them satisfying enough to eat plain. My favorite is their B&W Sesame Sprinkle which is a classic bagel generously covered with black and white sesame seeds. Just like pandesal, these bagels from Bogels N.Y. go perfectly with coffee and pwede mo ring ipalaman kahit anong gusto mo. Bogels N.Y. is available in leading premium supermarkets or partner stores online. They come in a pack of 5 and priced at P340.

I grew up doing that and enjoy eating it mostly for almusal or kahit merienda. This inspired me to make this quick and easy recipe, but instead of pandesal, I used these extremely versatile and delicious bagels. I also added cheese and sunny-side up egg for that perfect instant noodle bagel sandwich! Ang maganda kasi with using frozen bagels like these ones from Bogels N.Y., once toasted it gives a warm and crispy brown outer crust and nice chewy center. Plus, the bagel itself has a satisfying flavor na. I served it to my family a couple of days ago, and super hit sya lalo na sa anak ko. He even requested, I make it for his baon to school. Bogels N.Y. is available in leading premium supermarkets or partner stores online.

Pagbukas ko ng snack cabinet namin, I spotted this pack of crackers from Europe that I got as pasalubong - Fazer Dark Rye Crisp Crackers which I figured I can put variety of toppings aka yung mga hindi ko na kailangang lutuin at super quick to make lang. I put a can of Spanish-style sardines to good use in this simple, tasty, and healthy snack recipe. I also added some of my favorite cracker toppings; cheese, onion, tomato, pickle relish, and mayonaise. Medyo messy kainin but it's flavorful and all the toppings go well with the crunchy structure and intensive taste of the cracker na may malty, toasty notes reminiscent of brown butter and brown sugar. I think I'll try to make sweet combinations next time. Share nyo na rin your favorite snacks for binge-watching.
I remember sa aking former office, we have a snack station where us workers can access when hungry. It has a selection of healthy and not-so-healthy snacks. From fruit bars, dry fruits, nuts, biscuits, crackers, chips, chips, and more chips. From that experience, I could say na having an office snack station made us employees feel like we were cared about, plus it also helped increase our work productivity. Pero, ngayon na I've been working from home, I definitely miss that perk of going into work especially that I'm a huge snacker talaga. This is why, I decided to turn a corner of my tiny WFH space into a snack station. I have some cookies, chips, crackers, and sweet treats. Since meron din akong thermos flask sa aking home office, , I also included some instant coffee mix packets and my favorite teas na mas madalas ko ng iniinom lately. What I do lang is I constantly wipe down the table where the snacks are on and make sure na nakasarang mabuti yung mga containers para iwas sa mga pests lalo na mga langgam. Share nyo na rin what snacks you have in your work station.
LALA FABRIC CONDITIONER | MAKES CLOTHES SOFTER TO THE TOUCH WITH A LINGERING PLEASANT SCENT6/9/2023 Tatlong bagay lang naman ang hinahanap ko sa fabric conditioner; it has to soften the clothes, it has to leave clothes smelling fresh for a long time, and lastly, it has to be budget-friendly. Luckily for me, ang bagong discover kong Lala Fabric Conditioner provided all three and more! I've already used Lala Fabric Conditioner's two variants; Floral Mist at Fresh Breeze a few times. Nakaka-excite na habang tinitiklop ko yung mga damit and bed sheets namin, bukod sa they're softer to the touch, they definitely leave them with a lingering pleasant scent. Lalo na yung Fresh Breeze, it has that light, clean, and fresh na fresh na amoy. Nagustuhan ko rin yung Floral Mist as it leaves our clothes with a nice floral smell. Lala Fabric Conditioner is available in Shopee and Lazada. Priced at P60 (30ml by 1 dozen).
