Tiger Sugar Philippines Brown Sugar Milk Tea

     The milk tea craze here in our country is still on a high note. If you see long queues at the mall or in public places, prolly it's not the usual lane for public transportation but lanes for the oh-so-yummy and refreshing milk tea! Milktea shops sprouted like mushrooms over the years and they are literally everywhere.

     But did you know that there are only a handful of milk tea shops here in the country that sells the yummiest brown sugar milk tea? Yes and one of them is Tiger Sugar. They opened their first branch near Fully Booked in BGC a few days ago and I was one of the first few who got to taste their brown sugar boba milk. The verdict? Read more after the jump :)

Girlstuff Holiday Collection 2018 Au Naturel

     I was looking at my nail care archive last week and to my surprise, the last post on nail polish was over a year ago. It's still from the same brand that I'm going to share today. If you're a follower on Instagram @dearkittykittiekath, prolly you've seen me sporting colored nails on my stories often. It's because Girlstuff Forever launched a collection that is close to my heart- Girlstuff Au Naturel Collection.

     It was launched in time for the holiday season with a theme of going back to basics. There are four neutral shades and a bold one that compliments any kind of outfit. I love neutral colors. I find them pretty and will never go out of style. So without further ado, check out the swatches of my favorite shades from Girlstuff Au Naturel Collection below.

Making reunions REAL again

     Filipinos are all about family. The mandatory family reunion happens not just once or twice a year, but every chance possible. From Birthdays to graduations all the way to the grand Christmas reunion, family gatherings are always filled with food, catching up, and loads of wholesome family fun. 

     Lately, we’ve seen many changes in traditional family dynamics — from a simple meal to dance numbers by the grandkids. Families are reaching out to friends and relatives abroad through technology. While technology can be used to connect people, it can also become a wall between family members.

Cheese Platter Game On with Danes Cheese Ball

     What's one family Christmas tradition that you're excited every year? I bet it's preparing the food you will eat on Christmas Eve. Families all over the world gather to spend the holidays together because there’s nothing like the warmth of home. While no holiday celebration would be complete without family reunions, this is the best time to introduce new and fun traditions to make this holiday season even more memorable than last year’s.

     It’s a tradition that we serve spaghetti and salad on Noche Buena but this year, I’ve decided to make a little twist- instead of preparing pasta and salad, I told my mama to make a small cheese platter for the kids and adults to indulge during and after Noche Buena.

Product Review: Althea Milk Peel Cream Mask

     One of the infamous ingredients when it comes to having soft and smooth skin is milk. I presume that once in your life someone had told you that drinking, applying, or even bathing with milk will give you baby smooth skin. I've also read that milk is one of Cleopatra's secret to having beautiful skin.

     Gone are the days that you have to buy cartons or boxes of milk just to create a skin care mixture containing casein protein. Althea Korea recently introduced the cream milk peel mask that aims to help moisturize skin in just 60 seconds. Enter Althea Milk Peel Cream Mask- a gentle peeling mask containing milk for a refreshed complexion. A self-bubbling clay-like texture that is suitable for combination skin types, enlarge pores, rough, sensitive skin that needs gentle exfoliation and dry skin that needs moisture even after peeling. My thoughts after using this for more than three weeks below.
