Have a Hassle Free Holiday with 212-1212 /twoanyone.com Food Delivery + GIVEAWAY

     Filipinos love to eat. In our family, eating is not just the normal "eat to satisfy your hunger" need. We eat because it is also our way of bonding. Aside from eating at home, we love eating or dinning out. Since there are lots of restaurants nowadays, choosing the right place to dine is easy but sometimes there are hassles that come with it. Dining out can be a pain when there is a long queue at the restaurant or when the restaurant is not accessible and needs a one to two hour ride from your home. 

     Good thing there's food delivery. I'm happy that 212-1212 or twoanyone.com tied up with bloggers to give you more information about their food delivery service. twoanyone.com is a world-class delivery, take-out, and catering service for hundreds of restaurants, retailers and specialty stores.

Product Review: Cookie bees Home Baked Oatmeal Cookies

     Hi dearies! How's your weekend? Hope all is well! My apologies for being MIA these past few days. Rotating brownout + erratic internet connection resulted in almost four days of no blog update. I miss doing product reviews. To tell you honestly, I have a line up of product reviews waiting to be published. If you're a follower on Instagram I'm sure you've seen different products that was sent to me months ago. Some of the products that were sent to me last May and June are already waiting for their space here in my blog. I've already used (tried and tested) all of them so I do hope that everything will be back in normal programming soon. 

    Anyhoo, I'm sure you're surprised because it's my first time to review a product that's not related to beauty or skin care. This time it's related to FOOD! And not only that, it's one of my favorite kind of snack or dessert. It's cookies- the healthy version of that which is oatmeal cookies :) So here it is, my simple review of Cookie bees Home Baked Oatmeal Cookies. Click CONTINUE READING please :)

Sugar-Overload

     I hope you don't get tired of reading my winning stories. I'm really thankful that most of the giveaways that I joined gave me a chance to express myself by answering the questions required. Through this, I was able to share my opinion about a certain product whether it's beauty related, fashion inspired or simple joys from food. So yes, this post is about the prizes that I claimed this week. 

     This is the reason why we headed to Trinoma not only for our grocery shopping but to claim the Shiseido Sun Care Set that I won from answering a survey last April. I don't have any idea about this gift set that I won from Shiseido. When the SA handed me the gift set I was surprised to see that it's something from the White Lucent line. I've heard that this line is specially formulated to lighten and brighten skin complexion and dark spots. Wow! something that I really need for my pimple marks and freckles. The set includes a 75ml of WHITE LUCENT Brightening Balancing Softener Enriched W and 40 pcs. special Shiseido Cotton Pads. 

Shiseido White Lucent Toner

     I also won a box of 9 pcs. Kashi Maki from Food Reviews Manila and Pink Wasabi :D This has been the talk of the town and finally I've got to taste this Japanese inspired pastries. This mouth-watering dessert is consist of 8 delectable flavors that will surely make you crave for more.

Pink Wasabi Kashi Maki
Nutella Sesame, White Matcha, Coconut Dream
Midnight Mint, Oolong Berry, Lemony P.,
Choco Loco, Marula

     I enjoyed eating this heavenly pastries and Oolong Berry is my favorite. To complete my dessert fix for the day, I paired it with Oolong Milk Tea from Teaberi. Sugar-overload indeed! 

     Have you tried Pink Wasabi Kashi Maki? Thanks for sharing! Happy Thursday everyone :D

Good Times!~

     

     

My Version of Magnum :)

      It's freaking hot outside. My son is craving for ice cream even though He's still suffering from coughs and colds, I bought a small cup of vanilla ice cream to satisfy him. I saw posters of the overrated Magnum ice cream every convenience store we passed by. I already tasted this Magnum ice cream and I think this is just your regular "pinipig ice cream". For me, nothing really special about it. 

     So when I was about to buy something for myself, I saw this ice cream bar. I don't know the brand because almost all of the text where written in Korean. I'll just call it Coffee Flavored ice cream bar. 

     It's like Magnum, with coffee flavored shell that cracks when you bite 'em and coffee flavored creamy ice cream inside. Not too sweet, just perfect for my taste. It's 30 pesos only, 20 or 30 pesos cheaper than the overpriced Magnum ice cream depending on where you buy it. The only downside of this is the availability. I know some convenience store doesn't sell this brand of ice cream. 

     What's your plan this weekend? Stay cool and be safe, ayt? 

Good Times!~

Spread the L-O-V-E!

     Happy Valentine's Day to my dear readers! What's your plan today? I hope everyone will be happy today. It's no excuse that you're single, ok? Whatever your status is- single, ready to mingle, dating, in a relationship, engaged or married always spread the love! I just want to share with you what my hubby gave me today. 

Jack's Loft Chocolate Decadent Cake

     This slice of cake, his simple thoughts and ways of expressing love really swept me off my feet *kilig much* I'm also happy that our son is celebrating this day with us. We are sharing this simple pleasure that life has to offer. Cheers!~

Good Times!~

Food Review: Jack's Loft Baked New York Cheesecake Review

     Remember my post about Jack's Loft Cheesecake?That's my hubby's 42nd monthsary surprise gift. Simple yet one of the sweetest present he gave me. I know I'm addicted on sweets. I noticed these past few months that I'm craving for either milk tea, chocolate cappucino muffins and oatmeal bars. Since it's our monthsary again, he bought home another slice of Jack's Loft cheesecake. I think it's my 5th time eating this cheesecake and I'm about to say some thoughts about it. You can click here for Jack Loft's complete list of menu .According to munchpunch.com Jack's Loft is the perfect place to chill out, with its sumptuous specialty desserts as a mile high cakes, cheesecakes, pies, tarts and mousse. They also serve salads, sandwiches and pasta. Must try their "fishbowl" iced tea. 

Jack's Loft Baked New York Cheesecake

     Cheesecake for lover's delight. Traditional style creamy cheesecake pilled high on graham cracker crust.

This is what hubby gave me on our 42nd monthsary. The cheesecake is placed in a beautiful box with matching Jack's Loft Paper Bag.

Cheesecake with coffee. I think Jack's Loft is on its cost-cutting  blah because the cheesecake is placed only in a regular box, no paper bag just plastic bag.

price: 120php (Around $2.70+)

place bought: Jack's Loft Trinoma Mall

What I like:

• It has a right balance of richness and tangy flavor for my taste.
• The taste is lighter and less sweet.
• The price is affordable than other cheesecake that I've seen but never tasted.

What I don't like:

• The crust is not dense. I want my cheesecake crust compact so that when I bite, crumbs will not fall into pieces.
• The packaging now- not that special anymore like what it used to be, cute and colorful. The box is just like a plain box.

     Overall, I give this a 4.5/5 rating. I love eating this paired with plain coffee. So to all cheesecake lovers out there, give this a try. I think I need to try other cheesecakes if I have the chance so that I can compare it's taste and texture.

     What cheesecake brands can you recommend?Share your thoughts.

Good Times!~

Something Cheesy or should I say Sweesy?

     I'm addicted to anything sweet. I know it's bad but somehow eating chocolates and cakes, drinking milk teas and frappes makes me smile. I think these addictions can be included in my "life's simple pleasures". What's not to like if someone wakes you up with this...

Jack's Loft Cheesecake, given by my hubby on our 42nd monthsary

     Instantly brightens my face more than any makeup can do. Best paired with coffee for a great day ahead. I think this cheesecake deserves a review on this blog. Since I tasted this twice now, I'll make a review on my third round.

     So there it goes, Sweesy meaning Sweet and Cheesy since it's the sweetest cheesecake that I ate in my entire life. 

     Special thanks to my hubby who made an effort in buying this since I'm craving for this long time. Have a great day ahead!

Good Times!~
