OOTD: Classic

     It's been a long time since I posted an outfit of the day post of my son. I presume you've seen my Instagram post of his latest OOTD. It's not easy to make kids pose in front of the camera. If your kid is cooperative, you're lucky. You can take outfit shots anytime, anywhere. But in my case, it's always a trial and try kind of game.

     When my son is so game to pose, I'm trigger happy that's why I always bring my mirrorless camera with me. I don't have a scheduled post for outfit shots that's why I'm so happy when an unplanned photo session happens. Sharing my son's OOTD that was taken after attending a birthday party at Robinsons Magnolia.

Uses and Side Effects of Modafinil

Uses of Modafinil

     The very first question which comes in the mind of readers is that what the actual purpose for making use of Modafinil is. The major purpose is:

• First of all, it is used to treat the issues of sleepiness for people who have an extremely tough routine and shift works.
• It is associated to treat the issues of sleep apnea and narcolepsy.
• The shift work problem also seems to be one of the major reasons to make use of this drug.

Product Review: AVON True Color Perfectly Matte Lipstick Line

     Avon will always hold a special place in my heart because it's the first beauty brand that was introduced to me by my mom when I was in high school. My first lip product from Avon was their strawberry lip balm. I presume that 90's kids will agree with me that it's addicting because of the flavor and the scent.

     Fast forward today, Avon is known for all thing beauty especially for their makeup line that caters to all Filipina. Last year, Avon Philippines sent the 20 gorgeous shades of their Avon True Color Perfectly Matte Lipstick line. I will just make this introduction short. Photos, swatches, and my thoughts below :)

Product Review: Gluta-White 500

     I've made a lot of whitening supplements here on my blog. The most famous whitening supplement is glutathione and I presume that you already know what it does to your body aside from whitening. Glutathione is the favorite whitening pill of many Filipinas. It comes in different forms now and if you read the ingredients, one or more boosters are combined with glutathione to make the effect faster.

     For today, I'll be sharing my thoughts on Gluta-White 500- the first brand of glutathione that's listed on MIMS and does not contain any boosters in the ingredient. This one is pure L-glutathione in every capsule. If you're a beginner in taking whitening supplements, I highly suggest this brand because if allergic reactions arise, there's only one culprit. No other ingredients to blame. Hahaha! But seriously, glutathione alone can be effective as long as you take it with Vitamin C. Full review of Gluta-White 500 below :)

Product Review: NEW Meiji Amino Collagen Starter Kit [DISCONTINUED]

     Hello, collagen supplement lovers! The most loved collagen brand- Meiji launched a new and improved version of their Amino Collagen that we all love. My heart skipped when I saw the new packaging but I panicked when I saw that they reduced the collagen content to only 1,000 mg per scoop. From 5,000 mg, now it's down to a small amount BUT it's still effective like the old one.

     So if you're in search of the fountain of youth, Meiji is one of the brands that I'll recommend. It's effective and easy on the budget. Cheskas Store sent a 30-day supply of the New and Improved Meiji Amino Collagen for me to try and share my thoughts if it's worth the reformulation.
