The FACE Shop

I was not aware of The Face Shop brand until 2008 when a friend introduced me to the brand. The Face Shop is a Korean cosmetic brand founded in 1962 as a wholesale manufacturer. The brand went into retail in 2003 and launched its first retail store in Myungdong. 

I have been on a lookout for cosmetic products that is skin-friendly considering the fact that I have a very sensitive skin. I have read on The Face Shop's website that their product has combined the benefits of both nature and science. I have also read positive reviews from other girls with sensitive skins who are using The Face Shop and are very satisfied with how their skins react with the products. 


I've been using this product since then and my favorite is the Quick and Clean line. The serum control toner and the mild emulsion work well with my skin. I make sure I always have a stock of the toner because most of the time the stores in my country run out of stock and I'll have to wait for the shipment to arrive from Korea.

During my recent visit to their store, I bought a nail polish and I fell in love with it. I love the color and how the polish glides on my nail. I'm way too conservative with nail colors and this color matched my preference.


The blemish balm cream or more commonly known as BB Cream is the latest craze among Asian women. I am currently using a different brand which I am kinda satisfied but I'm still on a hunt for something better so I will definitely try The Face Shop's BB Cream soon.

Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011

Monday, September 05, 2011


My husband wants this so bad. He wouldn't settle for any other shoes. We went mall hopping just to find a pair that fits. Nike stores in our country do not carry a complete line of new products and most have limited stocks and sizes. This is one disadvantage of living in the Philippines -- the availability of great merchandise. We often resort to buying online and have stuff delivered to us. Our Ferrari polo shirts were even shipped from Germany. The shipping cost is.. oh forget it.

I will not really understand how wonderful this pair is.  He said it is lightweight and thus create quickness. My husband is already good in playing basketball. I'm sure this shoes will make him even better. I believe in Nike shoes technology because I have a pair of Nike Air Max 90. And the shoes feel different compared to other brands. So they say, Rajon Rondo is comfortable with Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011 as he take on his defenders and Russell Westbrook is quicker than anybody else as he get from baseline to baseline... I say, I wanna watch my husband on his upcoming tournament and see how he play in his new pair of shoes.

Yesterday I Cried

"Life is about cleaning up the crap and, while you're doing it, 
being okay with the fact that you have to do it.... A word of caution. 
You can't get caught up in the crap! If you do, 
you will surely lose sight of the real meaning of life and lose your Self."
My friend sent me a book written by Iyanla Vanzant. It has been with me for a week now but I just can't get past the page where the poem is written. One of the best poems I have ever read. I envy the author because after reading the poem, I felt like this is the poem I wish I had written.

The book YESTERDAY I CRIED is an inspirational book about celebrating the lessons of living and loving. I'm so lucky to have a friend who knows the kind of books I like. This book is such a treasure. I recently installed the Kindle for Android on my phone and I hope I'll find an e-book version of this.

Bless Me Father For I Have Sinned

Wednesday, August 31, 2011



I've been hearing about how sinfully delicious this Greek dessert is. This was included in my "must try" food in Boracay. But I always end up not having room for dessert after every sumptuous meal. Last Monday, I was with my husband at Shangri-la Mall and we decided to dine at Cyma Greek Taverna. I must not let the chance of indulging pass me by.

The waiter was smiling when I ordered Skolatina. He must have sensed the excitement in my voice when I said, "and I want an order of Skolatina!" The warm molten chocolate cake, the vanilla ice cream and the caramel sauce in one plate is so sinful! Especially for me because I have been watching my insulin level. Oh how I wish they'll make a sugar-free version of this. This is my new comfort food, If only I could have it as often as I want.
