Dove Real Beauty

     What is beauty to you? I presume that your default answer would be "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" or "beauty is subjective" then give a follow through answer to the one asking the question- "beauty is subjective, what's beautiful for me may not be beautiful to you." I agree with 'beauty is subjective' because beauty varies among cultures. 

     We have different definitions and standards of beauty that's why I believe that everyone is beautiful. I'm always moved by Dove campaigns because they focus on women empowerment. Their commercial ads are mostly real talk- inviting women to embrace their natural beauty despite the imperfections and flaws. Let's have a short talk about beauty and what is Dove Real Beauty all about below :)

Product Review: Ishigaki Premium White Soap

     For me, the most basic whitening skin care product is whitening soap. I've tried so many whitening soaps in the past and around 70% of them are effective in making my skin soft, smooth, and glowing. The whitening or lightening effect comes last since I'm already fair to begin with.

     Today, let me share with you another soap that will help achieve those whitening goals- Ishigaki Premium White Soap. This whitening soap is from the makers of the infamous Ishigaki Premium Glutathione, Ishigaki Advanced White Glutathione, and Ishigaki Coffee. I presume that if you're a long time user of Ishigaki, you have tried this already or you're using it right now to complement your whitening skin care products.

Best 5 After Gym Skincare Tips You Should Know

     You might already have a good everyday skin care routine that gives you a flawless shine, but have you given enough thought about the post-workout one? 

     It is difficult to maintain two skincare routines in one day (blame it on your strict deadlines) and it is even harder to add your workout to your busy schedule. Spending a few extra minutes in the locker room can become unimaginably beneficial to get a good looking skin. It will make all the difference in maintaining a healthy skin that is free from breakouts and even looks hydrated.

Worry-Free Bonding with OFF! Insect Repellent Lotion!

     I believe that 'moms know best' when it comes to taking good care of their children. As a mother to my only son Kenzo, I always make sure to give him the utmost protection that I can give. If I could stay awake 24/7 just to make sure that he is still in great condition while he is sleeping, I will. But that's insane, I know that I need to make him feel secured all the times especially when he's outside the house. But I also need to stay calm and enjoy our day everyday especially when bonding together.

     I worry a lot of times especially when he's out of his comfort zone. At his age, he's prone to different bacteria and virus in the environment. There's only one thing I fear- insect bites and dengue! So in order for us to enjoy our bonding moments at home or in public places, I make sure that I bring a trusted partner with me- OFF! Insect Repellant Lotion :) Sharing with you tips and experiences on how to make bonding worry-free at all times below :)

Product Review: Mamonde Rose Water Toner

     Hello dearies! I want to share with you my thoughts on my current fave toner- Mamonde Rose Toner that I bought last year from Althea Korea. At first I was hesitant to try the product because of the price and thinking that it will just go to waste if my skin will react negatively to it. On the other hand, there's a whispering voice telling me to try it because it's rose water- and skin care products with rose extracts are known to give a moisturizing and calming effect on the skin.

     I made a research online and it looks like that only a few made a review of this product. After finishing a bottle, I'm proud to say that I experienced little to no breakouts. This is also the mildest toner that I've tried to date. So without further ado, here's my thoughts on Mamonde Rose Toner.

Product Review: Orihiro Most Chewable Collagen

     Hello dearies! Sharing with you my thoughts on Orihiro Most Chewable Collagen. Yep, you've read that right- chewable collagen. I know collagen users will rejoice because this supplement from Orihiro is chewable. It's easy to ingest and smells so yummy too because of peach flavor. The only downside of Orihiro Most Chewable Collagen is the collagen content.

     I'm surprised to see that it only contains 400 mg of collagen for 2 tablets already. The required amount is 5,000 mg for ages 30 and above. Even though there's a small amount of collagen per serving size, I still saw a difference in my skin after taking it for two months. I guess the maximum results will be seen after consuming everything inside the bottle. So without further ado, here's my honest to goodness review of Orihiro Most Chewable Collagen supplement below :)

I'll be giving away some bottles so stay tuned for that :) Anyhoo, this glutathione brand is promising based on the ingredients or the boosters inside each capsule. So without further ado, my honest to goodness review of Opulence glutathione below.

Feature: Vaseline Petroleum Jelly

     Did you know that petroleum jelly has many uses? When I was in grade school, I always see a tub of petroleum jelly in my mom's vanity table. I'm not interested to know that time that's why I just ignore the tub and never dare asked her what's it for.

     Fast forward when I was in high school, I had a sunburn that's so annoying because it is so painful and itchy. Mom handed me a tub of petroleum jelly and told me to apply the jelly in the affected area to lessen the pain. After that, my sunburn healed and I became curious on other uses of petroleum jelly. Last week, I received tubs of Vaseline Petroleum Jelly in a blue box that says 101. Intrigued? Click read more and discover different ways to use Vaseline Petroleum Jelly below :)
