There are people who throw all their money on *sigh* Blahniks and Birkin bags. Then, there are also women (like me) who'd rather spend their hard-earned money on good skin care. I figure that even the most expensive Chanel won't look good on somebody with a crinkly neck or stubborn under eye circles, unless wearing turtle necks & spectacles become the order of the day in the tropics :) For weeks now, I've started with my daily regimen of using Creme de la Mer twice a day and am thrilled when friends greet me on my luminous skin. La Mer, as a cream, is made from ... Continue Reading...

Bag love: Crumpler Gypsy Moth
I've always appreciated Crumpler for their hardworking, utilitarian stuff. They're the label you'd most likely rely on for protecting your precious laptop from the slings & arrows of misfortune being always on the go. The secret is in their meticulous construction, use of durable materials and secure features like paddings & cushions where they're needed for utmost protection. But I have to admit Crumpler was more functional than stylish. The bags really just used to be the boxy, squarish mass that served its purpose and the choice of colors were their only claim to ...

J. Co Donuts opens at Greenbelt 3
The delectable J. Co Donuts opened its first branch at SM Megamall last March and I wished then that they would open in an area nearer where we lived.

The yummy goodness of their signature donuts, frozen yogurt & creative array of drinks is just an arm's length away. Watch out for the unveiling SOON! of J. Co stores in Trinoma, Alabang Town Center, Eastwood City and SM Fairview. I just can't have enough of J. Co treats which ... Continue Reading...
Woman in Birkin scam deletes Twitter account
The woman in Manila's so-called P500-million Birkin scam has deleted her Twitter account, a reaction that is rather too late considering that internet searches on birkin scammer & birkin scammer philippines already appear as cached pages. Most of us who were curious also took screenshots of her Twitter already & saved an html copy of the web page which identifies her position in an art gallery in Manila. But the alleged Birkin scammer's latest action should offer hope to her "victims" since this means she has not totally disappeared and can be haled to court if a ... Continue Reading...
A taste of Black Canyon Coffee @ SM Southmall
I announced before the opening of Black Canyon Coffee in SM Southmall & yesterday I was glad to finally try it (after braving the rain & heavy traffic in Alabang-Zapote Road... ouch!) For a coffeeshop, the interiors were quite elegant and spacious. People in the South are lucky to have another place to hang out in ... the area is in The Food Strip of Southmall which is awash with new restaurants. You gotta love the menu when it says ssomething like this. Go ahead, feed my addiction :) ... Continue Reading...
